Ingenious use of the carpet samples!
Thanks for confirming the name (it became The Spanish Slum in the 1970s), do you know if Skid Row had a sign? I heard from someone else that it was still known as Skid Row in the 1960s when it was a lot of studio apartments. Was it studio rooms or flats when you lived there? As an aside, you might be interested in reading this astounding thread of tweets by Felix about his Dad Erich https://twitter.com/BarristerNZ/status/826352026506256384
