This was the fright station (note the power sub station left rear) the passanger station was across the street just north of here. This is now the Los Angeles DWP payment office I was born and lived just east of this location and played on the ramp it brings back many of my childhood memorys and I sold newspapers at the passanger station.
When the line was initially built, this wooden building, south of what’s now 103rd Street, served as a combination freight/passenger station. Then sometime around 1925 a colonnaded stucco structure was built north of the street as the new passenger depot while the original became a freight/REA facility and SP ticket office. It’s kind of ironic that only the original wood depot has survived.
