Ornately decorated arches and facade and a tiled roof attest to the Spanish influences on architecture in Los Angeles. This building at 849 S. Spring St. is the System Auto Parks parking structure (Jack Hazard, Pres.). Various signs on the building advertise prices (15 cents/hr. for parking; full rib steak or fried chicken dinner, 35 cents) and companies (Joe Toplitzky Co., Real Estate Insurance; billiards/bowling establishment). Photo dated: Nov. 4, 1930.
