Turtius,
The SB Tower on Spring Street is on my short-list of guesses for the location of CJ's "Other Tower". But if you look up and down that area around the intersection of S. Spring and W. Sixth Streets there are a number of buildings that could fit the bill. Older tower buildings with grand, multi-story lobbies and outside fire escapes aren't that common in LA, but the ones there are all seem to be in that one neighborhood.
The one thing that makes me wonder about the SB Tower is that it doesn't have a multi-story parking garage next to it.
