1901
A building of 1901 by John Galen Howard stood here until the block was rebuilt, with a two-thousand-seat vaudeville house — the Empress Theater — six shops and a billiard parlour. In 1917 the showman Sid Grauman took the Empress and turned it into a picture house, renamed The Strand. The dome over the theatre entrance and much of the ornament had gone long before the end.
-
1907
A five-storey building of 1907 stood here until the block was rebuilt, its tripartite front of pressed buff brick and grey stone trim rising about ninety-four feet. It held the Pantages Theater. The facade was buried under white tile in a 1950s remodelling that left a flat vertical box with horizontal bands of windows, and the building was remodelled again in 1981.
-
1909
A two-storey building of 1909 by Paff & Baur stood here until the block was rebuilt — a two-part vertical composition with Renaissance ornament, about thirty feet tall. A complete remodelling in the 1930s recast it in Art Deco and left only the ornate cornice of the original.
