Thanks for all the follow-ups about Mission San Gabriel Arcangel.
I did a little research &... The old three bell campanile was destroyed in the 1812 Wrightwood Earthquake. (as someone said earlier, this is the same earthquake destroyed the old stone church at San Juan Capistrano) I tried to find an illustration of the campanile, without success. When first built, the stone church had an arched roof. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/4C7lFu.jpg from some book |
Here are the remaining slides from the Ebay group that included the proselytizers in Pershing Square. (and the man in the blue shirt walking with the voluptuous woman)

Mission courtyard with the basilica domes in the background. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4870/...5976a344_b.jpg_C020014-Edit-2.jpg by BillinGlendaleCA, on Flickr Old stone church: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7837/...786d7275_b.jpg_C020002-Edit.jpg by BillinGlendaleCA, on Flickr I've been fascinated by infrared photography since I was a tot, now that we have digital cameras(with a slight modification, removal of the 'hot mirror'), IR is pretty easy to do. I shoot one shot with my IR camera and then shoot the same shot with my regular camera to add some of the visual color back into the shot. |

#4 I think is backwards, the building in the back is the Wilshire Terrace Condominiums(they still have the same logo on the building) at Wilshire and Beverly Glen the other building is 10401 Wilshire(across Beverly Glen). https://i.postimg.cc/x1xns5zk/Annota...-17-010154.jpg from Google Street View ETA: Framefinder also shows that these are the only highrise residential buildings on Wilshire in 1960 |
Max Yavno (1911-1985) was a noted "street" photographer who worked in Los Angeles primarily in the mid-late '40's....he was mentioned by Greg H. in a post back on pg. 720, in reference to Yavno's photo-essay "The Los Angeles Book", published in 1950...some additional Yavno pictures...

mystery lion
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/923/52I5Vr.jpg getty museum archive Title: [Child on Lion Statue] Artist/Maker: Louis Fleckenstein (American, 1866 - 1943) Culture: American Date: 1907 - 1943 Medium: Gelatin silver print _______________ I can't place this lion. Is it being moved or is it in situ? It reminds me of the Selig Zoo sculptures...and the lions on the steps of the old Los Angeles Courthouse. We have discussed Fleckenstein several years ago on NLA. We even discovered the location of his studio at Casa de Estudios at 1510 E. 3rd Street, Long Beach __ |
The last two slides of the group.
Downtown Los Angeles, 1961. (although the cars look much older] wrong date perhaps :shrug: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/922/UkV0R0.jpg ebay A closer look at the shops on the left side of the street. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/0aF27Q.jpg detail I am curious about the "Coffee Cafe". It seems 'before its time". [predating Starbucks & other coffee + cafe. Can anyone make out the name? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/922/2zxYQG.jpg Ebay And a bit closer. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/924/19CqQj.jpg detail :previous: That elongated stylized A, like the 'coffee cafe', seems more modern than its surroundings. Enjoy your day! |

Yes, Hoss is correct.....this is W. 5th St. The newest car there I believe is the light blue 1955 Cadillac. The building with the flag pole on the 12th floor roof is the Chester Williams Building that I've posted on. I've been inside that building many times. |
