Venice CA Railroad Bunkhouse

To be honest, this post won't interest 95% of you - but to any historians out there who are into either the Pacific Electric or the Santa Fe, please read on --

The building in the link below has long been touted locally as a Pacific Electric bunkhouse (well, as a railroad bunkhouse, and as the line it's on belonged to many railroads, PE is only one possiblity).

Are there any real history buffs out there who can tell me more about this building? If not its actual history, does its architecture maybe at least tell us anything about it? The line it is on (which is now that large buidling behind it) was built by the Santa Fe, became Los Angeles & Pacific, then Pacific Electric, and finally Southern Pacific (but that was way too late for eSPee to have had anything to do with the bunkhouse).

Are there any other PE bunkhouses that survive that we can compare this one to?

Thanks for looking and thanks for your help.
