1950s, View looking southwest over the Hollywood Freeway towards the eastern edge of Bunker Hill, showing parking lots throughout. The Victorian-style structure seen in the distance is the St. Angelo Hotel, located at 237 N. Grand Avenue, near the southwest corner of Temple Street and Grand Avenue, where the Music Center stands today.
1950, View of the freeway opening parade. The first motorcade to travel the spanking new freeway link is driving east, back towards downtown. After breaking the dedication ribbon they had traveled to the end of the section at Silver Lake Boulevard and turned around for the return trip. Capacity for the double four-lane freeway during rush hours is expected to be 10,000 cars an hour. (Herald-Examiner Collection) https://buff.ly/3zIYKvH. Thank you to the LAPL.
I wrote a bit sarcastically,
The hospital was built in 1924, and renamed in 1989. The Hollywood Presbyterian is 2 miles away from the edge of the original hospital site. Was the structure pictured repurposed, sold, or demolished? Nobody knows.
