I found one, but it might be the Grand Palace in Valencia, CA. They build them all alike. I’ll keep an eye out. There was a nice B&W photo on the Flickr site, but I’ll leave that one for you.

The LA Library keeps producing photos from a seemingly bottomless source, so I will continue to check their site. Maybe we will get lucky.
