Maybe so. What exactly is it that you want? No redevelopment at all, even when a 1924 building is to be preserved? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/kG...A=w822-h432-no LAT Feb 10, 1924 https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Pr...w=w822-h539-no GSV |
Congratulations Earl Boebert and CityBoyDoug! -fantastic sleuthing.
you two. flipped http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/vDRULO.jpg magnum_ and all because of that arm on the turntable. http://imageshack.com/a/img924/327/sFPbld.gif Mudhoney [1965] _ |

Yes, delightful. I thought I'd really looked at that image, but I never saw that detail. |
I dismissed it and called it a 'thingy'.
|
As I said in my first post, I think the turntable is a piece of studio gear, not a portable record player. And the object on the table looks like a single-tube amplifier (you can see a wire trailing off it to the right). It is possible that Erwitt was an early audiophile. Again, mood music for whoever was reclining on that well-lit cot? :-)
Cheers, Earl |
these two again.

I'm thinking that might be a bit too young for a 'nudies' photographer. [in 1941, after his parents separated, Erwitt moved to Los Angeles with his father] And there's this.... [When Erwitt was just 16 years old, however, his father moved to New Orleans, leaving Erwitt on his own. He continued to attend high school and began teaching himself photography."] After reading that I definitely think the empty room is where Elliott was living at the time. ____ Here is another photograph by Elliott Erwitt. "Hollywood, California, 1956" http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/923/pFLE9D.jpg Elliott Erwitt via http://onlyoldphotography.tumblr.com/image/41794862724 Erwitt biographical information from: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Elliott-Erwitt |
I could be wrong, but I don't believe this intriguing photograph has been posted on NLA. ( partially because it's mislabeled in the USC archive)
"View of Sunset Boulevard from the roof of the Chamber of Commerce building, [s.d.]" http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/cXAoLD.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/si...id/21455/rec/3 "At center, a large street spans from left to right, annexed by smaller streets or alleys in the foreground, at perpendicular angles. Farther in the distance, the tallest building in the view can be seen, topped by a small rotunda.; Legible signs from left to right include: "Beverly Hotel", "S.G. Steppers", "Prince Albert", "Safeway Tire Stores", "Caterpillar Tires", "Elzee Motor Co. Used Cars", "Iris Apartments", "California Fireproof Storage Company", and "Moss Photographer"." We see two buildings, the Beverly Hotel & the Iris Apartments, that were included in Flyingwedge's recent Olive Street post. The Beverly Hotel looks especially noirish with it's vertical neon sign out front. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/XR1wm5.jpg detail The Iris Apartments is barely visible in the extreme lower right corner. I lightened it a bit. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...924/2YceYM.jpg detail |

The tall building just to the right of center in your photo is the California Hospital at 1414 S. Hope Street: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...u.jpg~original 00064835 at LAPL The hospital building (town down in 2000) and the tall building to its left in your photo, Patriotic Hall, both opened in 1926. I can't identify the tall building to the right of the hospital. |
Union Theater W 24th St
Took wife and kids to a play at 24th St Theater for Mother's Day, and across the street was this theater.
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4168/3...54df6b72_h.jpg me We wandered in and found a most interesting place, run by the Velaslavasay Panorama Enthusiasts. I haven't been able to find any early pics of the building, built in 1921 per Cinema Treasures: Built on the site and opened in 1921 as the Fairyland Theatre. It became the Union Square Theatre by 1929. In 1935 it became a live theatre named the Louise Glaum Little Theatre. By 1938 it had been renamed Continental Theatre and by 1942 it was the Union Theatre. Closed by 1956 when it became a union hall. It lay empty for several years, until it was purchased by, and re-opened as the Velaslavasay Panorama in June 2005. Anybody know anything more? Quite a few interesting old houses on the block, BTW. |

Posting 13191 of 3/12/13 by Procab of Figuroa looking north. If you look the left northbound land is on the wrong side of the double lines, note also the traffic cones to the left of that lane. This was done during comute time to help traffic flow.

The building permit says architect Frank L Stiff designed the "moving picture theater" for Union Square Investment Company in 1910. Before construction commenced, a preexisting house was relocated from No. 1122 W 24th to 1437 W 36th St where it remains (unfortunately stuccoed). https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Vb...Q=w670-h456-no https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Eh...w=w669-h451-no https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/jJ...w=w670-h458-no ladbs BTW, The 24th Street Theater was built in 1920 as, as you might have guessed, a public garage. I agree, the homes around there are nice, mostly from last century's aughts. |

Thanks, Hoss. I like the low brick wall around the parking lot. This view of 1401 S. Hope was taken on August 4, 1965: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...n.jpg~original 00073855 at LAPL |
