What interested me about these pictures is that somewhere on the thread were posted some mystery photos of what seems to me may have been of this house and garden, but that were never identified. I've looked back, to no avail. Anyone remember? Can anyone find photos anywhere?

"Beautiful new residential show place on Foothill-To-Sea Boulevard" is captioned above the Henry T. Hazard homestead at
Third and Vermont. To what road does "Foothill to the Sea Boulevard" refer? Vermont Ave., as distinct from "Foothill Blvd."?*

The Mo Pic News article erroneously referenced former
LA Mayor Henry T Hazard as Governor. Read more about this colorful character here:
