Yes, particularly the County Court House on the hill in the background, and the Bryson-Bonebrake building (the one with the waving flag). That was designed by the famous American Victorian-era architect J.C. Newsom. Here's another period view:



The Bryson Block was torn down in 1934 - only 46 years after it was built - to make way for the expansion of the present Los Angeles Times building.

I can't get over the detail on these buildings. It's a shame that there isn't the attention to detail like that anymore.

Hard to imagine these were in Los Angeles. And torn down after only 46 years?? That's such a relatively young age.

(whoops, meant to reply to your comment but something went funky and I ended up posting a new comment, which I've deleted.)
