An earlier census, taken in 1870 shows him as a liquor dealer in Virginia City, Nevada. This was a mining town and was on the downward slide by 1870, having peaked in the mid 1860's. That census notes him as a liquor dealer there as well. The voter registrations in 1880 show him in San Francisco as a liquor dealer. That registration shows him at 301 Turk, San Francisco. |
Yes `oldstuff` thats the one, been trying to hunt down info like that the last couple of years!! In fact i found online a 1860 census from Pine Grove Township No?, Sierra county, where Hugh is 23 and listed as a `Miner`. Wiki describes Pine Grove then as a `gold Camp`. I`m guessing at this time he may have struck it rich there?? The only thing i`m really missing is a photograph of the old guy. He`s mentioned quite regularly in those old digitized newspapers of the time that are online particularly the Arizona and California ones, and you`d think with the mining and liquor circles he walked in there`d be a photo about somewhere.
By the way he married Helen in the First Congregational Church, Los Angeles in 1895. |
First Congrgational Church, Los Angeles

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Historic Aerials The 1952 image shows some extra buildings on the site. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Historic Aerials I think the original Dickens Street building is still there on this 1972 image. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original Historic Aerials The site looks quite empty in 1980. The 1977 image is actually very similar, but not as clear. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original Historic Aerials A few buildings have been added since 1980, but there's still a large playground through the middle of the site. As mentioned by oldstuff, Sherman Oaks Elementary Charter is the only school that's there now. You can find their website here. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original Google Maps Here's a view of Dickens Street where the original school once stood. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original GSV |
We're going south for today's Julius Shulman photoset. This is Harbor Savings and Loan in San Pedro. It's "Job 3478: Young and Remington, Harbor Savings and Loan Association (Los Angeles, Calif.), 1963". There are three color images in the set, but apart from this first one, I preferred the black & white ones.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original The circular building featured full-height glass windows and stone walls. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original There was water around the sides to give the building a floating appearance. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original The exposed stone continued inside. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original The central piece of stonework contained the safe. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...7.jpg~original A final look at the interior. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...8.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute Here's an article announcing the opening date of the branch from the November 1, 1961 edition of the Torrance Press. Note that the caption has the wrong address. The correct location of 2470 Western Avenue is in the body text. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...9.jpg~original www.torranceca.gov The building's still there, although it's lost some of its charm (as well as its surrounding water) over the years. The Mobil gas station seen in the Shulman pictures is also still there just to the south. I was amused to see that the article above was followed by a piece about Starbuck from Moby Dick - check out which famous coffee shop is now next door! http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...0.jpg~original GSV |

The project proposed by Hawkins Petroleum, by Paul Williams and associates included 180 units, a private "mens only" Executive Club with individual suites and a heliport (L.A. Times, Dec. 4, 1960) The planned hotel featured a dramatic courtyard dominated by an elevated circular platform housing a restaurant and dining room. The developer, Hawkins Petroleum, was known for it's diverse investment portfolios. The project was not realized." __ |
Here's an amazing photograph I recently found on eBay. (what clarity!)
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...907/dN09Ls.jpg eBay reverse / Wm Petgold, De Long St., L.A. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...907/1hmlqj.jpg but I can't find De Long Street anywhere near 13th Street. *I just checked again......now I can't even find De Long Street. Help! __ |
Although the seller doesn't say, I believe this is another Rood snapshot. [c.1928]
