The Carrier-Transicold dealership where I worked was originally near the corner of Washington Blvd. & Alameda St. in Los Angeles. They sold the property and moved to a larger property in the corner of the property formerly occupied by a Carrier Air Conditioning plant in City of Industry in @1992 I think. The area still had a lot of the old style brick buildings in place as late as 2004 or 2005. I think some of the old brick buildings started to be demolished in the late 1990's or or early 2000's, but the change to where it is now was somewhat gradual. If you model downtown Los Angeles in the area that used to be the "Patch" or Vernon, you can use mostly brick, sheet metal, and generally old style buildings well into the 1990's
