Thanks,
AlvaroLegido. I must've seen
Beaudry's post, but never connected it with the other picture.

Using the Google mobile there are houses that could date from that era on the street. I could not find 1670, it looks as if the numbering has changed somewhat. This might be an interesting area to look for some Noirish tales.

I found David H. Geedy listed at 1670 W 23rd Street in the City Directories between 1909 and 1921 (LAPL doesn't have any directories for that area between 1901 and 1909). Someone called Claude H McFadden was living there by 1923. The 1921 CD's 'Street and Avenue Guide' says that the 1600 block started at Raymond Avenue, which is the same as today, but like you, I couldn't find #1670 either. The houses either side of that number today are 1666 (built in 1914) and 1676 (built in 1904). The last mention I found for 1670 W 23rd Street in the City Directories is in the 1973 edition. The 1987 edition seems to have mainly different house numbers, so was the street renumbered between 1973 and 1987?
