Seems that the Baist draftsman heard the name wrong.... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/af...V-A=w1366-h768 It looks like ads began appearing for the school in February 1920; this one was in the LAT on Feb 5, 1922 |

Thanks, GW. The 1923 CD advert says they had two five-story buildings for classrooms and laboratories and one three-story building for the clinic and offices. I'm guessing that they're referring to the three buildings on the Baist map. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...icCollege1.jpg LAPL |

Most folk seem to draw more obvious comparisons with LA's City Hall. Maybe comparisons are product of wishful thinking or pure coincidence.:shrug: Quote:

As seen in the LAT 12-11-1927 https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/em...P-A=w1366-h768 Something seemed fishy about Dalton's...all those different makes, "All Brand New—Never Run"-- where'd they come from? And so I wasn't surprised to find that Dalton was a shyster.... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Ag...366-h768-rw-nohttps://lh3.googleusercontent.com/mi...pMQ=w1366-h768 LAT 6-12-1927 and 8-28-1928 |

Without the benefit of the above content, a cursory CD search revealed that in '32, someone named Dalton was offering auto loans at 543 S. Figueroa, 858 S Figueroa and possibly 1511 Vine Street. |

Fixed those links...interesting though that I never miss a thing with Chrome. |
:previous:
WEBP is a Google format that they're trying to impose onto the internet, so of course Google Chrome is going to show the images. WEBP does have its advantages, e.g. better compression/smaller files, but it's currently only supported by Chrome and Opera. That means that all of us Firefox, IE, Edge and Safari users can't see googleusercontent images unless the -rw-no is removed from the end of the image code. I have Chrome and Opera installed on my computer, but my preference is Firefox, and it's a pain booting up one of the other browsers just to see the images when there's a simple workaround. I appreciate that it's also a pain for googleusercontent users having to remember to alter the code of every image, but (in my opinion) the goal should be making every post accessible to every user. Just my 2¢. |
'mystery' location
I just found this photograph at the 'jalopy_journal' blog. "Los Angeles, 1936" http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/MdxtUE.jpg http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/ If you look closely there's a carhop holding a tray, wearing what looks like a 'gaucho' themed uniform. I tried to find Hinton's Brake in the city directories without success. (I didn't realize how popular Hinton was for a first name) but I did find this in the 1938 directory. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...924/28DMMA.png lapl Was there a Drive-In near 3636 Beverly Blvd. back in the day? I also found a Rulo Rathbun, USCG stationed in Long Beach. (I included this just because I like his name ;)) |
And here another mystery from Jalopy Journal.
"Hollywood, 1940" http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...921/7rJl9t.jpg http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/t....428585/page-3 This snapshot was no doubt taken at a movie premier or a grand opening (perhaps for the Chevy place in the background?) There's a banner with writing to right of the Chevrolet sign but it's impossible to read. (for me anyway) and who's Gordon War _ _ _(?) |
Here's another Julius Shulman photoset showing a school with a zig-zag roof, although this design is more shallow. As you can see, the address is on the sign. This is "Job 3502: Glenn Arbogast, C. Morley Sellery School (Gardena, Calif.), 1963".
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original A line of school buses and more of the roof detail. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Here's one of the classrooms. I've omitted a shot of the fence outside and one of the other classroom photos. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original The boys on the left seem to be at a work bench, and there's a loom in the middle, but what's the desk on the right with the small cutout used for? http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original The last image shows the South Elementary District Offices - another building on the site. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute This is what 15804 Budlong Avenue, Gardena, looks like today. There's even a long line of buses in this image. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original GSV The other building is on Magnolia Avenue, and also looks pretty intact. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...7.jpg~original GSV |

When I hear "3636 Beverly Blvd.", American Storage springs to mind, as does Barkies' (down the street) and nearby Bimini Baths. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=37444 For clarity - American Storage is listed as "3634" in the '29 CD although the Storage "Building" is "3636" in the '36 CD. "3636" clearly had several businesses under the same roof. For example, the '34 CD lists Carbondale Machine Co. and Echo Drapery Studio (5th Floor) there. The '30 CD lists the Roof Garden Cafe, which arguably was above the roof. ;) http://waterandpower.org/8%20Histori...orage_1928.jpghttp://waterandpower.org/8%20Histori...orage_1928.jpg http://creepyla.com/wp-content/uploa...e4-632x959.jpghttp://creepyla.com/wp-content/uploa...e4-632x959.jpg I recall seeing this image as part of the Life Magazine archives and wonder if we haven't seen it before (on NLA or another site). http://www.dobrismodel.cz/wp-content...-life/auta.jpghttp://www.dobrismodel.cz/wp-content...-life/auta.jpg |
:previous: Yeah, I wondered if we had seen it before too, but I don't remember the 'gaucho' outfit.
(and surely that hat she's wearing would have made a lasting impression ;)) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/nRjfLo.jpg detail Come to think of it, the hat resembles the circular Carpenter's and Simon's. See what I mean http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...922/Xy8krE.jpg Wilshire location http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=17962 Tell me that doesn't look like her hat. ;) __ |

:previous: Good find Hoss! That's definitely the same outfit.
note the sign above the car on the left.............'Visit our Barbecue Pit - Wilshire" Surprised the photographs were taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt. |
:previous:
That's one of the details which makes me think that it's Sunset and Vine. Here's a detail I've posted before: Quote:

E_R, this is from the L.A. Parks website: (1866) Dedicated for use by Mayor Aguilar in 1866, this park land was named "La Plaza Abaja." (1886) In 1886, it was renovated with an official park plan designed by Fred Eaton. (1911) In 1911, the park was redesigned by John Parkinson to reflect the social and economic growth of the city. (WWI / 1918) During World War I, the Square was often the scene for militia receptions and provided a forum for public speakers. On November 8, 1918, the park was formally named Pershing Square in honor of the World War I general. (1950's) The next major change came in the 1950's, when an 1800-car garage was built beneath the park. (1989) In 1989, the Pershing Square Property Association and the Community Redevelopment Agency contributed to assist the Department of Recreation and Parks in the renovation of the park. Architect Ricardo Legoretta and landscapist Laurie Olin designed the current park plan, and the park was rededicated on February 3, 1994. (For more history and walking tours, contact the L.A. Conservancy.) ______ In a return to it's history as "a forum for public speakers", I will be there at 9 a.m. on Saturday, January 21st, for the Los Angeles offshoot of the Women's March on Washington, followed at 10 a.m. by a march from Pershing Square to Los Angeles City Hall. For one near you: (men very much welcome, in case you were wondering) https://www.womensmarch.com/sisters |
:previous: Thanks for the time-line Martin Pal.
Good luck at the march! |
