Looking southeast down Wilshire Boulevard from just west of S. Burnside Avenue. The Wilshire Tower, the first Art Deco landmark tower built on the street, is seen prominently in the background. Over the years stores such as Desmond's and Silverwoods have occupied Wilshire Tower's ground floor while professionals have leased offices in the eight-story tower. Located at 5514 Wilshire Boulevard, the Zig-Zag Moderne building was designed by architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood and built in 1928. The brick building on the right is no longer standing.
