Aerial of Lafayette Park and Sixth Street, inter alia. Per source, date ~1938 - '56
Fascinating view that I do not recall seeing on NLA. Possibly shedding new light on areas discussed here and in GW's Historic LA site, e.g., Occidental and Hoover. Note billboard on vacant Sixth street lot. http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/si...id/21853/rec/5 http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...ver&DMROTATE=0http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...ver&DMROTATE=0 http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...ver&DMROTATE=0http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...ver&DMROTATE=0 http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...ver&DMROTATE=0http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...ver&DMROTATE=0 http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...ver&DMROTATE=0http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...ver&DMROTATE=0 http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...ver&DMROTATE=0http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...ver&DMROTATE=0 |

Hey Graybeard, I considered that but thought the distortion would be too great. You just proved me wrong! If I copy and paste the new side borders I can widen them out to use the perfectly round holes of the original. I will give it a go when I get back from vacation. Thanks! Jack |

Radio Row in Hollywood
The first post took us to Angelino Heights, the second looked at the West Boulevard Bridge (that was fun), and this one will take us to Holllywood's Radio Row. Raul Moreno's gonna take us on a walk around of Sunset, Vine, and end his adventure at Melrose Avenue in front of the old KHJ Radio & TV building. We start off with a big feature on old CBS Columbia Square in Hollywood. Both Raul and I worked there at the same time. We've got some never before seen footage of that facility's last days as a CBS property. We're actually going to do a much longer peiece on Columbia Square in the future, but we thought we'd throw some of that footage out there now. In looking at the old footage, I realized that some of it was shot nearly a decade ago. Have fun guys.

Radio Row In L.A.
Chin, Thanks again for letting me remember about the studios on Sunset and the others. I attended T.V. shows at both CBS and NBC in the early 50's thanks to an Aunt who took me to every attraction in L.A. there was. Later I attended one of the dance party T.V. shows on KHJ as a teen in late 50's. After NBC was torn down they left the Guard Shack still standing on the Vine St. parking lot entrance. I worked for Grant Parking for a while and used that as the office for that lot. Even then I thought it was crazy to tear that beautiful building down. I will have to venture down to Hollywood and see how things have changed, it will not be a happy trip.

View of the Max Factor House of Make-up in the theatre district at 362 South Hill Street.
"He'll make your kisser look good..." lyrics from Hooray for Hollywood. Johnny Mercer. Watcher the video here: http://youtu.be/_fIVoh8KGDI Back in the 1930's and 40's, during the glory days of Hollywood, the world of movie make-up was dominated by Max Factor. Creating false eyelashes, the eyebrow pencil, lip gloss, and pancake makeup, Factor created a whole new language for big screen cosmetics. That's handsome Max on the right, below. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps6b4f3006.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps91474b25.jpg Basten |

At various points in its life, this building at 700 North Main Street has been close to both the iced tea stand on Alameda and the Terminal Annex building on East Cesar E Chavez which have been discussed recently. USC describes it as "Office / retail building just north of Union Station and the Plaza, R.F. Frans, & C.R. Irwin machine shop & electrical contractors". They date it as circa 1920/1930.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...cyAlameda1.jpg USC Digital Library HDL incorrectly title this picture as "Macy and Alameda Streets". Macy Street, the old name of East Cesar E Chavez Avenue, is where the bus is turning, but it's North Main Street that dominates the picture (Alameda is just out of shot to the left). This picture shows the building above in June 1956 - not long before demolition. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...cyAlameda2.jpg Huntington Digital Library This picture does show the intersection of Macy and Alameda Streets. The building on the far right is on Ord Street. Next to the utility pole is what looks like another of the railroad signal bases recently identified by Wig-Wag. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...cyAlameda3.jpg Huntington Digital Library FredH previously posted details of this picture in post #21450. It shows the same view as the picture above, and is described as "A Standard Oil Station replaces a block of slums." Again, the Ord Street buildings can be seen on the right. HDL has a great picture of these buildings here and FredH found a demolition picture in post #21190. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...cyAlameda4.jpg Huntington Digital Library Today there's still a gas station on the corner, but not much else has been left behind. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...cyAlameda5.jpg GSV |
