In the main basement lounge looking up the steps to the landing outside the men's room. Thanks to Angelo Costa for his 2016 photo, appearing on the Sandra Costa Design Group Facebook page. The photo can also be seen in the Los Angeles Theatre set on the Angelo Costa Photography website.
A closer look into the men's room entrance that also gives us a fine look at the carpet installed in 2016. Up the steps and you're in the intermediate level lounge. Up one more level and you're in the inner lobby on the main floor. Through the doorway straight ahead and you're in the men's room. Photo: Angelo Costa Photography - 2016
The terrific carpet design was a joint project of Daelen Cory and Paul L'Esperance of L' Esperance Design, Sandra Costa of Sandra Costa Design Group and SDE Carpet Technology.

The earlier look before the carpet was replaced. We're looking toward Broadway with the main basement lounge behind us. Photo: Bill Counter - 2013
The signage at the entrance. Thanks to Michelle Gerdes for her 2009 photo. It's one of 72 great views of the theatre in her Los Angeles Theatre set on Flickr.

A wider vista into the hall of toilets. Thanks to Gary Fimbres for his 2018 photo, one in a set of three on the SoCal Historic Architecture Facebook page.
Thanks to Eric Lynxwiler for this look at the original toilet fixtures in several of the stalls -- alternating cream, burgundy and black. It's a 2007 photo on Flickr. If you have a day to spare check out the over 400 great photos in Eric's Los Angeles Theatres set.

Another look toward the shoeshine stand. Photo: Bill Counter - 2013
The view in toward the turquoise urinals left of the shoeshine stand. It got more exotic in the ladies room, but even here it's evident that S. Charles Lee was an exuberant early user of colored plumbing fixtures. Photo: Bill Counter - 2013
