:previous: rood68, thank you so much for this description of R.H. Rood.
I know it wasn't easy, especially with the way the seller kept adding Rood's photographs to eBay piecemeal (over a period of several months). The following photographs were lost due to technical difficulties at IMAGESHACK. I'll try to replace them. Here are some of the photographs R.H. Rood took while he was a guard at the Hollywood Bowl for an actor's benefit in 1922. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...901/8Zg7eQ.jpg eBay http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...903/blGM8o.jpg eBay The list of silent film stars participating in this event is simply amazing! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...911/TLhRTr.jpg eBay 29 tents set up for 29 stars! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...907/0w1sjh.jpg eBay The two tents below are more elaborate than the plain white tents in the photograph above. (entry gate maybe?) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...907/Y05b7v.jpg eBay :previous: I'm also curious about that house in the background. Mr. Rood, "Guard Duty" http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...905/xCJDaq.jpg eBay A view backstage. -note the Metro Pictures Corporation sign. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...901/63WVqw.jpg eBay http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...911/44G1yF.jpg eBay http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...903/nd9F1a.jpg eBay more actors.... http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...910/10ToP0.jpg eBay night photo http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...633/eV4OMg.jpg eBay I honestly believe these rare photographs belong in a museum. It's frustrating that the eBay seller sold them off individually. __ |
Sorry, lost by IMAGESHACK
I was pretty stoked when I happened across this postcard showing the interior of the KMTR radio station atop the Hollywood Storage Co. Building. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...911/ujD0lQ.jpg eBay reverse http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...903/4Afg9n.jpg below: As a reminder here's the building as it appear today, minus the twin radio towers. ethereal_reality http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...908/5eNA6l.jpg gsv Earlier post by 3940dxer http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=6681 __ |

As it appears in 2015. Kind of nondescript. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...pskcosymsr.jpg gsv |
Arrrgh. more lost.
Another rare interior view. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...912/jrHZpg.jpg eBay "The Sunset Inn, Restaurant Francaise, Santa Monica by the Sea, California." It looks like this place was also a ballroom. Does this place ring a bell?* __ *I just realized I posted this back in 2013.....never expecting to find an interior view. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...901/JrpGty.jpg eBay __ |
Yep, you quessed it. L O S T
I have no idea what marketing executive (or publicist) thought this was a good idea. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...907/KuLMqm.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...907/d9rfGY.jpg eBay / paper ephemera :previous: I can't wrap my brain around Doris Day on a steam-roller. (it isn't powered by steam, but you know what I mean) Any way you look at it...this seems like a total fail. __ |
Alvarado Street News Items
:previous: For a moment I thought that was a parody.
# # # Item No. 1: Alvarado Street is going to be resurfaced from Hoover to 8th Street, and the preparatory roughing up of the street has revealed, at the NE corner of Alvarado and Olympic, some old brick pavement: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...r.jpg~original Photo by me Item No. 2: Two homes relocated from 981 and 987 S. Arapahoe are being restored at a lot designated as 1115 S. Alvarado. The relocation permit is dated 2006. Here are the relocated homes in July 2007; on the right, the former 981 has some fire damage: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...p.jpg~original GSV By April 2009 the former 987 S. Arapahoe also suffered some fire damage. I couldn't find a build date for 981, but 987's building permit is dated 1912: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...c.jpg~original GSV Today: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...m.jpg~original Photo by me |
:previous: Oh my, what beautiful restorations!
thanks for sharing your photographs Flyingwedge. |
I believe this snapshot shows a boss with his secretaries standing in front of City Hall
....and what appears to be an oath of some kind written in the borders. 5-3-39 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/905/MgsFe0.jpg eBay At the end it says something about "south entrance" and 1st st. ....could the "oath" be an inscription above the south doors? (this is just a guess) __ Here's the south entrance today. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...903/T2OZze.jpg gsv Look how those palm trees have grown compared to the 1939 photograph! __ |

I know better than to step into the middle of an NLA debate about cars, but I thought this photomerge of a few frames from Perry Mason may help to find the location. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...a.jpg~original |

Julius Shulman visited Miramar Street in 1966. This is his "Job 4109: House, 1425 Miramar Street (Los Angeles, Calif.), 1966". http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original This slightly different angle shows some of the side of the house. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Both from Getty Research Institute It looks like the tall front chimney has been removed at some point. It's also impossible to see the side of the house from the road any more due to nearly 50 years of tree growth! http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original GSV |

The view from the old courthouse (Broadway and Temple) in 1899
I recently posted this photo (I found on Pinterest) of the LA City Hall on my Facebook page:
http://www.martinturnbull.com/wp-con...circa-1951.jpg and in one of the replies, someone who follows my page posted this photo which she said: "Here's a view from the old courthouse (Broadway and Temple) in 1899 looking southeast towards Main and 1st Street. Los Angeles Street is on the far left." The photo was so pristine and in color I questioned her about the year, and she said that it was colorized (and therefore, I presume, cleaned up, too.) http://www.martinturnbull.com/wp-con...e-far-left.jpg Then someone else posted another photo from the same angle (but a little more north) as the first photo. I love the noirish (pun intended) graininess of the shot, and those heavy clouds behind. http://www.martinturnbull.com/wp-con...-the-north.jpg |

Thank goodness for Vibiana. I was just thinking earlier how she's enabled me to get my bearings in so many photos. PS CC Pierce's whole triptych is here |
