Funny that there were three theaters on this unassuming street at one point, the Jewel, the Ivy and the Euclid. Now buried under a few tons of concrete.
Sometime in the 1950s, I think. It would have been the 5 going through East LA. I found the street on a 1944 map around that area, but today’s Thomas guide has no Stephenson Street.

But we ended up with a nice picture of the theater, didn’t we? So all is not lost.
