The Municipal Light Water Power building is near Pasadena Ave. and Broadway, Los Angeles, CA. The building looks a bit different today, more colorful, but the basic features are still there.

Today it is known as Lankershim Arts Center.
It used to be L.A. Department of Water and Power Building, designed by architect S. Charles Lee c.1939
Abandoned by the Department of Water & Power, the Streamline Moderne style building currently houses the Lankershim Arts Center in the thriving NoHo Arts District. Declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (No. 232) in 1980.
Located at 5108 Lankershim Blvd. in North Hollywood, California.
(Google Street View reveals the building is partly obscured nowadays by trees out front. The auto repair place seen in the episode today is an AMC. The ice cream parlor a short distance to the right as seen in the episode today is Crown Chili Burger.)
