Punch TV Studios [gone]
Los Angeles, CA
The Punch TV Studios building was built in 1935. I don't know what business was here originally. The building was demolished in late 2018 or early 2019.

Staples Building
Los Angeles, CA
This Staples Building is contemporary and was built in recent years in the Art Deco style. The building is currently vacant. The spaceship-shaped feature is a tribute to the Flying Saucer restaurant which used to occupy that corner. The restaurant building itself was ordinary looking. It was demolished in the 1990s.

The portion of the Staples Building below the pylon may have originally housed Loman Foods Mart and/or Roman's Food Mart in 1935. I don't know if the pylon is original or an interpretation of the original. Does anyone know more about this building or have vintage photos? [map]
