ANSWER: The two animals, distinguishable on either side of the throne, are the bull and the bear. Add that to the human figures holding the ticker tape and you could get only one answer: The Los Angeles Stock Exchange at 618 S Spring St.
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO. 41 -- This sculpture is above the entrance of a well known building. If you can recognize the two animals in bas-relief you're almost certain to get it. You can find the answer to this question by turning to Page 20, Part ll.
