What an edifice! Is it still there?
Did the Los Angeles Stock Exchange ever come into being? I know that San Francisco is, or was, home to the Pacific Stock Exchange for many years.
Ah, I think you’ll like this – it opened in ’31 as the Los Angeles Stock Exchange in the building pictured. In the late fifties SF and LA merged into the Pacific Stock Exchange. In 1986 they sold the building and moved. Now 618 S. Spring Street is a nightclub and event venue.
Very interesting. And unusual that San Francisco won out over Los Angeles in a commercial venture like a stock exchange in the late 1950s. Thanks for the update.
