from: Tony Arioli email: Califtony707@aol.com message: This photo was taken in 1954, probably in the spring - just to the lower right of the Standard Oil Building, there's another building under construction. It's the Equitable Life Assurance Building, construction started in Oct., 1953 and completed June, 1955.
