Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, Men Have Named You...


In 1930, one block east from the Gaylord on Wilshire Boulevard, rose another Walker & Eisen gem. This art deco commercial property was the home to the Mona Lisa, a French/Italian cafe. The Mona Lisa was owned by the same folks who brought us another classic icon, Musso & Frank, up in Hollywood, which is still going strong today.
In the photo, top, you can see a partial view of the Gaylord.
