The north side of the Sherman Terrace Building -

still menaced by palm trees.

Sherman Terrace Building [Reseda, CA]

[Lindley Ave - south of Sherman Way]

Instead of having a good view of this Cold War era building -

The Sherman Terrace Building - we are menaced by two palm trees.

The Sherman Terrace Building was in operation starting in 1962 

as an office of Litton Industries Data Systems Division - purveyors of

Cold War electronic military hardware. At some point in the 80's it became

a Keiser Permanente medical office and seems to be mostly occupied by shrinks.

Air Raid Siren #121 [Valley Glen, CA]

If you keep an eye out for 'em - air raid sirens are all over in Los Angeles.

I have to trust that Dennis' Map of Sirens is correct in identifying this one as #121 - at the north west corner of Burbank Blvd and Bellaire Ave. You can check out his Los Angeles Air Raid Siren Page and read some posts from people you are really into sirens...
