According to waterandpower.org/museum/Early_Views_of_the_San_Fernando_..., this building was at the intersection of Lankershim and Magnolia Blvds (s. photo) 5200 (not 3200) Lankershim Boulevard, North Hollywood Streetview 2018

Thanks B-59, we do have the wrong address on here. In trying to confirm it, I went through lots of newspaper articles, ads, and maps. From several newspaper advertisements, I'm pretty certain Woolworth's address was 5248 Lankershim Blvd. In the mid 1980's that whole area was torn down and rebuilt so it looks nothing like it used to. After consulting some maps, I believe that road in the foreground is McCormick St., which now dead ends at a parking garage, but before the reconstruction crossed over to Lankershim. That would make sense with the photo you linked to if it was taken at Lankershim and Magnolia, it would then be looking toward the Woolworth's and McCormack St. If anyone confirm this or correct me, please do.

Woolworth's address was 5248 Lankershim, on the corner of McCormick. It wasn't at Magnolia, which is the 5200 block of Lankershim. The numbers even at the south end of Lankershim don't go as low as 3200.

The hats look like '20s alright

J. Ross Portrait Artist and Photographer (see note almost top left) -

Ross 54 Grafton Street, Dublin According to the company’s website, they were established in 1929. A photograph dated to 1930 is captioned: ‘Shadowgraph Portrait by J. Ross, 54 Grafton Street, Dublin’. There had been no photographer at this address in 1929, but ‘J. Ross, photographer’ was listed in 1931. By 1936, Ross Studios were at 3 St. Stephen’s Green. They were still there in 1974, but have since returned to Grafton Street, No 59, as Edmund Ross Studios.

Definitely post-1925 as there was a clothes shop above Noblett's in May 1924 (from advert in the Irish Independent). The hairdressers were (was?) advertising for staff from October 1925 in the same newspaper. The proprietor was Alfonso Palcic, and you can see his name faintly over the window proclaiming "Gentlemens Hair Dressing".

Nice!

Billy Apple fodder!
