And on this forum, when we determine a location it stays determined. :D

Bill Paxtons old man perhaps??

Here's a link to a google maps recent view of this site. This is still here, sort of. Looks like a fire took out the top floor not to long ago:

I see that the palm trees are still there in '68, although thirty years taller. I wonder if they are still there now.

I think the "house" may be a small bungalow. I circled two possibilities:

The blue-striped building labeled "3 day suit broker" is the only thing closest to the center, but it has a warehouse-style roof - certainly not a 1906 home.

I love this thread! It's taken me a couple of years to read everything, but I've learned so much! I think I need to start at the beginning again as I've slowly gotten acquainted with old LA, the beginning posts will mean much more the 2nd time around.

A big thank you to everyone who posts! I appreciated it!

I think you can rule out the building on the left as it doesn't appear on this 1952 aerial. The picture isn't clear enough to tell whether the one on the right was there or not.

Several property websites (eg. trulia.com) list the nearby 1750 Sawtelle Blvd as being built in 1906. It's currently a church, but the Google aerial view shows three smaller buildings behind. They all appear on the 1952 aerial.

1958. I wonder what business occupied the 1905 Kate Stamps building at this point in time? (portion of a sign at far right)

1967/ Less than nine years later the landscape is devoid of all buildings. -this sucks.

I believe this PBR sign is in the Ferguson Building as well. (from The Indestructible Man 1956, that's Lon Chaney Jr.)

We've had a few posts about Tanner Motor Livery recently, but I haven't seen any mention of this phone number before. The OXford exchange would suggest Pico Rivera/Whittier, but they seem to be advertising their branch at the Beverly-Wilshire Hotel. Any guesses? Their number in San Diego was Main 3111.

As well as Tanner Motor Livery limousines, there was also Tanner Motor Tours operating The Gray Line. These brochures all date from the '30s and '40s (according to their sellers).

These tickets/passes are even earlier. Note the TRinity phone number and 324 So. Beaudry address on the one from 1927.

Tanner Motor Tours could even meet your ship for a day-long tour of the city. This poster is dated 1928.

As an aside, that connecting line from the Williams Santa Fe station to the Grand Canyon is still in operation as the Grand Canyon Railway. I took the train to the south rim with my family in 2009.

I'll add another I found recently, to go along with this one.

GatoVerde, here's an earlier post on the 400 year old Sycamore, El Alisal/Aliso.

I have not found this to be posted here before. It's my understanding that the original Earl Carroll's Theatre neon sign was gone by the '60's, but Los Angeles' Museum of Neon Art (MONA) has recreated it and recently, at least, it was at the Universal City Walk...I need to go see it. I haven't been to MONA since they moved, after 30 years, to Glendale, but I should go there, too! I don't know if it was built to the scale of the original, which was twenty feet high.

Speaking of re-creations...now that is amusing!

P.S. Where is it located? :)

Harrelson Block at Third Street and Winston Street
 

Does anyone have any info on the Harrelson Block located on the South side of Third Street between South San Pedro and Wall Street. The block and adjacent buildings look pretty old. I thought perhaps somebody else here might be able to shed some light on these forgotten, and perhaps soon to be razed buildings.

Here are some photos I shot a few days ago:
