LA Architecture during the Depression

I posted several months ago about the LA movie set in South Africa in 2004.  The setting was supposed to depict Los Angeles in the 1930s.  I became curious as to how "realistic" the set was compared to actual downtown LA during that time.  You be the judge.

As in the movie set, a streetcar did run down the center of the business district.
