As far as I can work out, the stores in the screengrabs were (from right to left): Holiday Shoes Hal's Gift & Greeting Card Shop Comar's Children's Shoes Karl's Shoe Stores Ltd Candys Dress Shop Happy Child I'm not sure which store the "...DS" sign belongs to, but there was a Montgomery Ward at that location in the '50s and '60s CDs that I checked. I can't find a build date for that building, but it's either been substantially remodeled or replaced since the pictures above. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...BlvdStores.jpg GSV |
:previous: Ahh..there's the street! -good sleuthing Hoss. -I see the 'cartouche' building has survived. (as well as most of the others)

HossC, when i first saw your post, I knew I had a similar photograph but couldn't find it in all my disorganized files. Well I finally found it. below: Looking down New High street toward Franklin St. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...538/y5bD3j.jpg detail -the above view is from this photograph. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...540/gA4FuN.jpg old file of mine dated 2012 (I always meant to post this but never did) :previous: notice the "San Diego Beer" blade sign on the corner...as well as a sign advertising "Oak Bar". I'm unsure about the cut-off building plaque K R OK L. -and if you look closely, there is a WELCOME sign on the courthouse tower. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...661/WyTTCu.jpg -a glimpse of several buildings on the opposite side of the courthouse (on Broadway). -also, note the "New" sign on the utility pole at far right (for New High Street) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...673/L7pq6i.jpg a detail of the steps, with Celtic-looking ornament engraved in stone.

Hill Street Tunnel
Here's one to ponder:
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1...41924%2BPM.jpg c.c. pierce / usc digital library We're looking north on Hill Street in 1908, the year before the first bore of the Hill Street tunnel was put through and the 1st St cut widened (that work won't be finished for years). The pavement ends as Hill Street ascends Court Hill as a country lane. The Highland Villa (upper left) is in a somewhat precarious position at this point. The Bixby house is at upper right. Cut to 1955: Quote:

ad for "Hillview Garage" in the trade magazine Hollywood Filmograph, 1932.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...901/x7L6zZ.jpg -Hollywood/filmography I'm not sure why this rather insignificant ad caught my eye but it sure was fun to discover the garage building is still there, in the back of a building that fronts on Hollywood Blvd. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...673/IZ8WUJ.jpg GSV below: looking north along Hudson Ave. as it curves around a house. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...908/ixwcGA.jpg GSV I'd love to go in there and look around. -maybe find a long lost vintage car.....or a dead body or two. ;) __ |

The first access to Bunker Hill from the west, north of W 5th St, that I can recall at the moment was at W 3rd St on both sides of the tunnel entrance. Did W 4th St run up Bunker Hill as it does now? |

4th Street Cut & Hudson Avenue
Thank you HossC. I had forgotten the great cliff below the W 4th St stub. The current triple roadway arrangement of W 4th St wiped out so much.

-just for fun, here's the Hillview apts. today. (what is that on top...a modern 'sculpture'?) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...538/23RexY.jpg GSv The Hillview Garage at left, the Hillview Apts. center, and the Janes house at right, from the curve on Hudson Ave. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...908/BX3YiO.jpg GSV What's up with that old Hotel Juniper sign in the back of the Janes house? anyone know/ http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/GpiNd7.jpg GSV __ |
:previous: I'm not entirely sure. There is a bar called No Vacancy at the Hotel Juniper with a N Hudson Avenue address, but it's really the back of the Janes House. Where they got that sign, I dunno.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-x...21701%2BPM.jpg http://www.cigaraficionado.com/webfe.../show/id/17247 I do wish the Hillview would restore its rooftop sign (I'm unsure of the vintage) as the bare framework looks a bit sad. It's not a sculpture. Here's a glamour shot from that link I posted above. (The rooftop sign is hidden in this view): https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Y...15311%2BAM.jpg http://jagarchitects.com/project/hil...ood-apartments The building has a great history And here's the 1905 cottage on N Hudson Ave with the back of the Hillview Apartments in the background: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Y...23142%2BPM.jpg gsv |
Does anyone happen to know this attractive brick building?
The sign saying "Hayden Clinic" is a prop only and has nothing to do with the real purpose of the building. The screen grab is from a 1982 episode of the "Falcon Crest" TV series. The only thing I know is that the building is somewhere in Greater L.A., most likely within the usual 30-mile filming zone. Thank you so much for your help! http://www.falconcrest.org/research/hayden14.jpg |
I spotted this postcard on eBay a few days ago. Considering the Dreamland Roller Skating Rink was "The finest and largest rink in the city", I haven't had much luck finding any more information. There's a Dreamland theatre and a Dreamland dance academy in the the City Directories, but no skating rink at 12th and Main.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original eBay This small article is from the April 19, 1906 edition of the Los Angeles Herald - the day after the San Francisco earthquake. It's only a year before the postcard above, so I'm guessing it refers to the same place. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...mlandRink2.jpg California Digital Newspaper Collection Just to confuse things, I also found this reference to a Dreamland Rink at 15th Street and Central Avenue. By the context, I'm guessing this was in the 1910s. It's from a book called 'Bound for Freedom: Black Los Angeles in Jim Crow America' by Douglas Flamming. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...mlandRink3.jpg books.google.com |
