Thank-you Mr. Vogel for your comments on the Brennan Hotel fire and the building’s subsequent uses. It seems you already knew about these images from the LA fire department web pages. Great. Just thought I’d mention them because the Optic Theater is so visible in those photos. Pre-neon lighting. Someone on the web was wondering what this theater looked like on the outside. That’s why I wrote in. Funny how so many people would really care about this neighborhood so many years later. Tom Davis
