I wish there was a 100% accurate floor plan of this building.Maybe not 100%, but one of my ongoing projects is to try to produce some floor plans of Fire Station №23 which are 85%-90% accurate... The project temporarily went on hiatus as I started to study the plans that architects Brooks + Scarpa had drawn up for the refurbishment project (Viewable here), and then later when a set of plans drawn up by the LAFD in the 1960s or 1970s popped up on LADBS (which appears to not be responding at the moment).
Sadly, both sets of plans don't appear to be as accurate as they ideally should be... The 2018 ones surprisingly so, as I would've thought with modern (for 2018) methods for measuring spaces would've produced reasonably precise architectural drawings... But some of the details, such as some window locations, have shifted greatly when compared against actual photos of the station.
So I've had to go back to drawing my own plans, seeing as the official ones are less useful than they could've been.
