This is the historic building that still stands today at the northeast corner of Lindbrook Avenue and Westwood Boulevard. These photos were taken from the southwest corner of that intersection. This building was built as a Ralphs supermarket in 1929 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is now a Peet's Coffee. The eastern portion was converted into the United Artists Westwood Theatre in 1970 (now the Mann Festival). The building is a great way to orient oneself when looking at old street images of Westwood since its unique profile is so noticeable. At some point, the pretty shaded colonnade was glassed in and incorporated into the various businesses. Note the street lamp junctions at the corner and the one to the right are still in use today.
