George Snyder/LAPL Very nice... house. From Physique Pictorial, December 1966...taken not at 10086 Sunset Boulevard but rather in the garden of the Lucien Brunswig house, once at 3528 West Adams Blvd. A couple of prior posts re the Brunswig house: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=1177 http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=16143 |
:previous:..so Physique Pictoral got it wrong?
You're one of the few people that could discern the difference between the two locations. Good job GW. Hard to believe that kid is 14__ I was a string bean at 14.

When I posted about the Mary Louise at Westlake Park on June 8th, I didn't realize the building was still standing.

So, what came of Mrs. Biby's new place at 2818 W. Temple? http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...psc973993c.jpgGSV Seems to have absorbed into the high school next door. The driveway and steps certainly do look like they once led up to a residential building of some sort. And Mrs. Hillman at 740 S. Hartford? http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...ps067eb2ec.jpgGSV Still hanging on, looking not unlike some of the old homes on Bunker Hill. Ms. Vidette moved in across the street to 735 S. Hartford: http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...ps54c35437.jpg Looks like it's been remodeled a bit and incorporated into a contemporary structure next door. Mr. Sosa went to Aliso Village, though the article didn't specify where. http://jpg1.lapl.org/pics30/00034532.jpgLAPL Helene Schleicher moved to 1426 S. Malvern: http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...ps86339dd0.jpg A bit remodeled now but not in bad shape at all. And as for Noah Marker, the landlord who could afford to move to swankier digs? 918 E. Chevy Chase (addressed as 916 - I think 918 is a separate building at the rear of the property): http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6f92f841.jpgGSV I find some irony in the fact that at least two of the people mentioned in this article (Mrs. Hillman & Ms. Vidette) moved to places that really don't seem to be much different than apartment buildings (and mansions cut up into apartment buildings) that you would have found on Bunker Hill. I'd be willing to bet that Mrs. Biby's place on Temple was not much different, either. Their new homes were just sitting on less valuable land, I suppose. :rolleyes: |

Another NOIR mystery....

Gaylord Wilshire, with his vast knowledge of the Wilshire area, correctly identifies the mansion as the Lucien Brunswig house at 3528 West Adams Blvd. When was it torn down? The photo of Arnie was supposedly taken in 1966. [ Physique Pictorial (Vol. XVI, December 1966]. Bravo GW for your sharp eyes.! From the looks of the lawn in the PP photo, the party was long over in 1966. From the looks of the model, the party is just beginning. I wonder how the owner of Los Angeles movie studio Athletic Model Guild, publisher of PP, got access to the Brunswick mansion? Could one just walk in and pose your models, willy-nilly? I also doubt that the model named Arnie is 14. He's probably more like 18 or even older. We need to get to the bottom of this noir mystery and pronto. |

I believe that this is the light fixture, mentioned in Engine54's video, which is now missing. I hope that they can somehow replace it. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...psda02b62b.jpg USC Digital Library And hey,Chin/Engine54 is REALLY good.

Photographer Don Normark died recently at age 86. Back in the late 1940's,
he took a series of photos up in Elysian Park when it was still a thriving little community of mostly Mexican-Americans. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps0df7ec28.jpg http://www.latimes.com/local/obituar...ry.html#page=1 http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps647e9386.jpg http://www.latimes.com/local/obituar...ry.html#page=1 http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps6afe68a2.jpg http://www.latimes.com/local/obituar...ry.html#page=1 http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps660a6005.jpg http://la.curbed.com/archives/2014/0...avine.php#more http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...psd4487d1e.jpg http://la.curbed.com/archives/2014/0...avine.php#more http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...psdc1e4672.jpg http://la.curbed.com/archives/2014/0...avine.php#more I had always heard that the Chevez Ravine residents were moved out to make way for Dodger Stadium. However, the area was already cleared out earlier in the 1950's in order to build an affordable housing project. The project later fell through when some factions in the city deemed it to be a socialist plot, or something. By the time the Dodgers arrived, there were only about twenty families left. Unfortunately, these last residents were the hard core, who had refused to move earlier and an ugly scene resulted where people were literally dragged out of their homes as the bulldozers moved in. |
