http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...dGasometer.jpg Historic Aerials The gasometer disappeared sometime before the 1972 aerial. The location now appears to be a parking lot for Southern California Gas Company trucks. The tall structure to the left of the gasometer and under the reddish spot in the color photo is the 11-story Hollywood Storage Co. building at 1025 N. Highland Avenue. |

E_R -- your former residence would be somewhere under the Cock 'n Bull? :yes: I haven't heard of many of these places, so this map is fascinating. Bublichki sounds interesting. Where was Romanoff's? |

It would make my day is someone could dig up some information on this eccentric bungalow on the 400 block of E. Adams Blvd.
between Maple Ave. & Trinity St. http://imageshack.us/a/img59/9204/v5wx.jpg GSV -it transcends any known architectural style that I know of (ok, that's a bit much) http://imageshack.us/a/img707/2079/9qmq.jpg aerial/with delineated angles http://imageshack.us/a/img826/5130/nviw.jpg google_earth __ |
I picked up this vintage (50s-70s?) 11" pennant at a shop recently. It looks to me like it just has a view of random downtown city blocks on it.
http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...14_095809.jpeg But maybe you guys with more discerning and educated eyes can pick out some of the exact buildings or streets and let me know what/where is shown (if any)? http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...14_095839.jpeg |

My favorite part of Los Angeles--acres and acres of intact, undiscovered and unheralded Victorian neighborhoods. This is 424 East Adams, built in 1882, according to the assessor--seems rather early to me. There are several names associated with the lot--which may have also once carried the designation 426. It may have been built by Adolphus Fixen, although only one small item in the Times connects him to the address. Other names are Charles Bradshaw, a Mrs. Calvin, and Mrs. Robert Brown.. Thought we might have seen this house here before, but can't find anything. |
:previous: -Thanks GW, I thought you might know the answer. :)
So it's Adolphus Fixen is it. I'll have to try and find out some more information on him. The house was built far earlier than I would have guess. The upswing at each end of the roof resembles polynesian island architecture, while the extra sharp gables almost look science-fiction. I can't even imagine what the interior looks like. __ |
