where St. Mark's is now. However, e_r, I think you've found two more miscaptioned photos. I believe your photos show 906 Venice Boulevard, then 906 Virginia, at lower left on the 1918 Santa Monica Sanborn map below (north is on the left): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psspl4cis5.jpg ProQuest via LAPL Your first photo above looks south at the house from the front; note how the wrap-around porch matches the map. Your second photo looks east at the carriage house (906-1/2), with the alley next to it on the right. To the right of the man and dog in the carriage I believe is a bit of 925 Fink (now Harding), marked below with a red dot. The blue dot marks 2500 Grandview, moved there from 10762 National Blvd. in 1961: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psp2adkqdb.jpg Google Earth http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...pspo7rkwjp.jpg LADBS |

Anyone have any information of the Sunset De Ville apartments? This is where Stu Bailey lived in the 77 Sunset Strip series. Apt. 318. There's a shot of the front of the place every now and again in the series, and some interior shots when he was shown at home. Looked pretty swanky back then. Definitely retro now.
In one episode, Bailey scribbled his address as 6107 Atoll Ave, Los Angeles, but Google Maps indicates that to be a single dwelling, not an apartment complex. I guess the director thought no one would notice the address didn't match the location as this was long before a "pause" button was available to scrutinize details that usually just flashed by. |

Notice that it includes the names of Vierke and Tepper from e_r's postcard. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...itzBuffet2.jpg www.etsy.com |

The Schlitz Buffet, located at 537 S. Main, Los Angeles was owned by Alois Henry Tepper and Ernest Vierke. Alois Tepper was born in Germany on May 19, 1855. He came to the US in 1883 and became a naturalized citizen in 1888. Mr Tepper is found in a Los Angeles Directory in that year as being employed as a barkeeper. He married Augusta Gabriel in San Francisco in 1886. In 1898 he is noted as selling a saloon to someone in Los Angeles. He is also shown as living in Los Angeles in 1910. He died in Los Angeles in 1922 and is buried in Calvary Cemetery. Ernest Vierke was born in Germany in about 1864. He married Ida Schultz in 1891. There is a notation in a book that in 1912 he built a "6 room frame house" in the Rose Hill area of Los Angeles. (Rose Hill is located east of the Arroyo Seco and next to Montecito Heights. It was opened as a "streetcar suburb" in 1904) Ernest appears in a 1916 Los Angeles directory as a merchant. At that time he is listed as residing at 512 Amethyst Street. This would be in the Rose Hill area and is probably the house he had built. The specific address no longer exists. There are listings for him as a saloon owner in 1912 and 1913. There is one odd listing in 1918 which says that he and Tepper sold soft drinks at 537 S. Main. Vierke was active in German organizations in Los Angeles and seems to have been a model citizen. He died on May 13, 1938 in Los Angeles |

The first listing I found is 1890, and shows Aloys/Alois as a bartender. The 1891 and 1893 CDs identify his place of employment as the James J Donovan liquor saloon at 230 E Fifth Street. He was living at 766 Elmore Avenue. A year later, and still at the same address, he was half of Pickenbach & Tepper (the other half being Charles Pickenbach), a wines and liquors business also at 230 E Fifth Street. Two years later he had moved to 800 E 8th Street, and by 1901, he was running a saloon at 239 E 7th Street. I then skipped through the remaning CDs, finding home addresses of 814 Towne Avenue in 1910 and 1915, and 624 W 45th Street in 1922. Regarding the stein - it looks like there were at least two designs. Here's the other one. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...itzBuffet3.jpg liveauctioneers.com |
It's been a while since we've had a Julius Shulman photoset of a house in Beverly Hills. This is "Job 2799: William Beckett, Beckett House (Beverly Hills, Calif.), 1959".
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original The side looks like a black & white Mondrian. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original A thickly carpeted spiral staircase with a very large ornate mirror behind. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original I'll end the Shulman images with the only color photo. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute The house is still standing at 1024 Summit Drive, Beverly Hills, but a 2016 article at la.curbed.com says "A prior listing from when the house last sold shows the shell of the original house pretty much intact, but the interior has been rendered nearly unrecognizable." Here's a selection of the 30 images that accompany the article. First, the remodeled entrance, complete with lions. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original It looks like the green zig-zags are grass - the owners must be forever getting the feet of their chairs stuck in them. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original I can't see the spiral staircase in any of the recent photos. Maybe this is its replacement. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...7.jpg~original Finally, a mysterious wall safe bearing the names Tom Mix, Barbara Hutton, William Beckett and two others that I can't quite make out. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...8.jpg~original All from la.curbed.com/John Aaroe Group |

I'm wondering if these names were people who owned the house over the years. I can't read the first name exactly, either, but it looks like Robert (Mitermack) or something. The other name, though, is Gerald Oppenheimer. A google search brought up a newspaper site for a 1985 L.A. Times article concerning a party at his home and in the article it says: "Jerry stood in the foyer of the Oppenheimers' grand contemporary house (it once belonged to Tom Mix)". Unless one has access to these newspaper sites, that's about all I can glean from it so far. https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/172700967/ |

How in the heck did you figure all that out from my two photos? I mean, you found places on streets that weren't even mentioned. (in the seller's description) I'm seriously in awe. One last look at the photos. 906 Venice Boulevard http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/DMBLDz.jpg ebay http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...924/rKekrw.jpg ebay Do you know the name of the dog? ;) __ |

1918 Sanborn Map showed so few houses in the area, 906 Venice kind of jumped out as the only one that matched your photos. Plus, my mom worked for 30 years at the elementary school on Coeur d'Alene just west of Grandview, and I think that somehow helped me intuit my way through the mystery you presented. Thanks. :) |

__ This is an interesting of newly built courtyard apartments. (but it only shows the right side of the complex) 1906 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/6y5sR8.jpg ebay The persons writing the postcard describes her new place in detail (like what's inside ea. window) They also mention a street number is visible on a post (but I don't see it) You no doubt noticed the postmark on the front says Bakersfield, but there's a Los Angeles postmark stamped a day earlier. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/G5IxUQ.jpg reverse .....so the courtyard apartments are somewhere in Los Angeles. If anyone sees that street number let me know. __ p.s. I just noticed the front postmark says "received" BIG as day. ( I don't know how I missed it :shrug:) |

412 Justicia. That same home was at various times also called 42 Buena Vista, 352 Buena Vista, and 412 Buena Vista: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...r.jpg~original LAPL The same house, as previously posted, but with a red dot on the roof: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...i.jpg~original This January 3, 1924, BP references a fire ("Restore as before the fire") and a new flat roof for 412 Buena Vista: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...h.jpg~original LADBS This July 17, 1925, BP suggests that 412 Buena Vista had just become 412 Justicia (note the crossout at the top): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...u.jpg~original LADBS An August 4, 1925, BP for more bathroom work gives the address as 412 Justicia, as does the January 7, 1931, Demo Permit. However, as late as the 1921 Baist Map, the old Glassell home (under the red dot) was still at 352 Buena Vista, and there was no 400 block of Buena Vista: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...b.jpg~original Historic Mapworks But as I mentioned, the home was originally 42 Buena Vista: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...l.jpg~original 1888 Sanborn @ ProQuest via LAPL Regarding Glassell vs. Shorb, here's what I think happened: Andrew Glassell built the house in c. 1886-87, but after his wife died in late 1895, J. deBarth Shorb, Jr., and his wife Louise -- one of Andrew Glassell's daughters -- moved in. They first appear there in the 1896 LACD. Andrew Glassell died in 1901, the last year J. deBarth Shorb appears at 352 Buena Vista in the LACD. So I think Shorb only lived there while his wife looked after her aging, widower father. July 18, 1887, Los Angeles Times (I'm sorry about the left edge of the article, but it was like that when I found it): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psolisj59b.jpg ProQuest via LAPL Death of Mrs. Andrew Glassell: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psovbylxlo.jpg December 5, 1895, Los Angeles Herald at CDNC Death of Mr. Andrew Glassell: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psdabmq9rw.jpg January 29, 1901, Los Angeles Herald @ CDNC Alfred Glassell, son of Andrew Glassell, is survived by his sister, Mrs. J. deBarth Shorb: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psfbu5jsvg.jpg November 3, 1905, Los Angeles Herald @ CDNC |
