Excellent photographs of the Violet Ray Station
Tourmaline. I think it would be great fun to try and locate some of these houses.
By the way, I'm one of the poor slobs that can't see the enlarged usc photographs. On my screen they appear as indecipherable jigsaw puzzles. It's truly maddening.
What I'm getting at, the images I am about to post may seem repetitious to those of you without that viewing problem. So bear with me please.
Here's a good view of the trio of houses that appear to the left of the gas station tower in photograph #1.

-close-up of the nearest home. (I was hoping to see a house number) -is that Barbara Stanwyck in the upstairs window?
usc
-more homes, a real estate office for Hollywood Knolls and a small train stop.

-a closer view of the real estate office and the Hollywood Way train stop (notice the railroad crossing sign partially behind the palm)
usc
-a billboard for Hollywood Knolls.

Is that one of those history bell things or just a light?
It looks a bit short, like the highway marker to it's left.

-here's an impressive home from photograph #2 (still no street number)

Dinner on me at
Chasen's for the first person to locate one of these homes.
