Roof lines and chimney caught my attention too.

Trying to track the location based upon the few available details. 1436?

The '87-'88 CD lists "Samuel" Darnell," "ranchman" as resident of the Wright House 113 S. Main St. Could lineman-Sam have been Jr., or just a coincidence?










Per the '97CD, West Side Lighting was headquarted in the Byrne Bldg. at 253 S Broadway.

In 1896, West Side Lighting Company built their first large scale steam power plant near downtown Los Angeles. It was built near the northwest corner of 2nd and Boylsten street (seen above).^^

In 1897, West Side Lighting merged with the newly established private company, Los Angeles Edison Electric, which owned the rights to the Edison name and patents, especially the underground DC-power rights. The merged company took on the Edison name. An underground system and technology was crucial at that time, since the city voted in a resolution limiting the installation of new overhead utility poles due to excessive overhead wire congestion. Los Angeles Edison Electric installed the first major DC-power underground conduits system in the Southwest.http://waterandpower.org/museum/Earl...tribution.html
