This looks like a similar view. The description says "Photograph of Beacon Street in San Pedro looking north, Los Angeles, ca.1910." http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...aconStreet.jpg USC Digital Library |
:previous: At first I thought the 'clock tower' building might be their city hall, but your photo clearly shows it's a bank.

Mystery Victorian on Avenue 30 in Lincoln Heights
As soon as I started talking about riding around Lincoln Heights in the 'Google mobile,' I started doing it and found a Victorian gem I've never seen or heard of before. You'll find it on Avenue 30, looming above all of the other, smaller houses surrounding it:
http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...psa9b62493.jpgGSV And here's a closer look: http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...ps36f95341.jpg It's at approximately 125 Avenue 30, just around the corner from the house at 3130 Pasadena Avenue that E_R posted about. Looks like the side of the house fronts onto Avenue 30. I'm guessing it originally had a Pasadena Avenue address, and the land around it was subdivided at some point. Anyone know anything about this house? |
Quote:
The call letters stood for "Keeping Good Folks Joyful." I see the old antenna has been removed from the roof, but it was there not too terribly long ago. |

had been as long ago as that. From about 1990 - 1997 I lived near Brockton and Wilshire, and often used to ride the Santa Monica #2 bus to UCLA and back. The route goes through the VA grounds and right by the chapel. All through that period, the signboard outside the chapel announced the "upcoming" wedding of somebody named Shannon and somebody else whose name I have forgotten. It's astonishing to think that the same information was left up on the sign for 20+ years! |

It does looks like the house was at the center of a larger piece of property, set well back from Pasadena Ave. before Ave 30 was cut through. It's now 123 W Ave 30 in the "J W Robinson Tract" (aka Tract 2181). City records indicate 1893 as a build date. I suppose Robinson could be who once lived in the house--though on a cursory look I couldn't find anything to place a J W Robinson at a Pasadena Ave location--not the department-store man whose house we've seen here before, or any other J W Robinson. Anyway, in poking around this morning I did notice a Mrs. J E Betzhold across Ave 30 at #124...none other than the mother of telephone-operator-turned-Mrs. Edward Doheny. She lived in the little blue house in the picture below ca 1900. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-S...2520AM.bmp.jpg |

ebay I located a Harry Apple Chrysler dealership in the 1956 directory. http://imageshack.us/a/img845/5161/8ugk.jpg http://rescarta.lapl.org/ResCarta-We...le&submit=Find -the view today/Harry Apple Chrysler has been replaced by a Goodwill Donation Center & Store. http://imageshack.us/a/img20/6636/iucy.jpg gsv There's a glimpse of red roof tiles on the far right hand side of the vintage photo. I believe they belong to the small building on the left. http://imageshack.us/a/img706/2230/uhzi.jpg gsv __ |

Just wanted to poke my head up and say hello and thanks to all the contributors in this amazing thread. I've spent the better part of a year going through all 800+ pages. It has been a revelation. Los Angeles is an amazing city and you guys have made learning more about it a most entertaining ride. :tup:

:previous: That's a great photograph TangoJuliet, very noirish!
It's especially cool that you took it while you were broken down along the freeway (my composure would have been shattered). __ 1948 mystery model http://imageshack.us/a/img513/837/wxcx.jpg ebay This could be a Joseph Jasgur photograph, but I have no proof. __ That said, where's the H? |
Falling down

By 1972 it had again fallen into sad disrepair. The new sign is made of steel and should last longer. |

Dedication of the sign, 1923 Its history: http://www.hollywoodsign.org/the-his...-sign-is-born/ A post from 2010: http://skyscraperpage.com/forum/show...postcount=1068 |
Great stuff. That's my 'hood and I pass this house nearly every day. There are some other rather lovely homes just up Pas Ave going toward 5-Points (Daly/Avenue 26). And it is Avenue 32 but the way, not 32nd Street. We like to confound up in NELA with our street names.
