Lovely little, improbable bungalow on Bunker Hill with an outsized date palm growing through its porch roof. Now identified as being 321 S. Hope Street (thanks to rickm).

Now comes this other unidentified Hope Street cottage by Arnold Hylen...


Another cottage on Hope Street, Arnold Hylen, 1960

I think this may be right next door at 323 S. Hope Street and that clapboard building on the left may be the Sawyer Apartments. In fact, it looks to me as though Hylen didn't even move, making both exposures from essentially the same spot.

Correct-o-mundo.. This larger house stood at #323 between the Sawyer Apts and the teeny palm-pierced cottage. At one point in the post WW1 decade a large hotel was planned to be constructed on these addresses- but it fell through as did a number of other pipe dreams acroo the hill. A young woman was rescued from a locked room in this house after neighbors finally reacted to a couple days of screams- she was spinning around "in a St.Vitus dance" trancelike - never to communicate what person(s) had incarcerated her in the dark - Was commited to a mental hospital as an unidentified crime victim. Crime never solved apparently..per the L.A.Times..Failed large building by W.W.Paden written up 3-9-1910 resembled Touraine Apts
