A good area to start looking for the location of Engine 30's photo, would be near the Coca Cola Building on S. Central. Engine 30 was one of two segregated engine companies in the LAFD. Station closed in 1980. Their former station is now the African American Firefighters Museum at 1401 South Central. The museum opened their doors in 1997. http://www.aaffmuseum.org/ |

I bet I can guess where they got them. PS LOL, CityBoyDoug, you beat me to it! I've got to learn to put a post together faster :-( |
HossC, I had noticed the Bahia in Anaheim as well.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/HLLSj4.jpg ebay http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/901/jgHFIj.jpg I was pleasantly surprised that the sign was still intact....but I was aghast when I saw that it was renamed 'The Covered Wagon'. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...540/DXWPMW.png GSV -and nothing says 'pioneer days / covered wagon' as an Italian restaurant named Giovanni's. Then I zoomed to the sign to see what had happened to the mid-century Tiki God. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...540/97YwKa.png GSV / detail :previous:...this f*cked up mess with super glue that apparently hadn't worked. It's just all so bizarre. __ |
The messed up Bahia / Covered Wagon sign made me think of this Jolly Jug sign in El Monte.

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...alCollege4.jpg www.historicmapworks.com/LAPL I found the following pictures and text in a book called 'Highland Park' by Charles J Fisher. I like the front view of the Charles M Stimson Library. The chiropractic college gets a mention in the second caption. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...alCollege5.jpg books.google.com |
Here are two Los Angeles High School graduates. I'm guessing the one on the left is attending Occidental, and the one on the right, Polytechnic.
1910s? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...540/CfzRA2.jpg ebay __ |
The Bungalow Motel of Hollywood at 2010 North Highland Avenue. The date of issue is listed as 1930-1945, but as I can't find it in the 1942 CD, I tending towards the later end of that range.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...galowMotel.jpg Boston Public Library on Flickr It was soon renamed the Bowl Motel of Hollywood. Under that name it appears in the City Directories from 1956 to 1973. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...BowlMotel1.jpg http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...BowlMotel2.jpg eBay Today the site is occupied by the BLVD Hotel & Suites Hollywood. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ABLVDHotel.jpg Google Maps |
:previous: What's the building with the turret to it's right?
You can't see it at all from street level. front view from Highland http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...631/3pLO9H.png GSV __ below: Here's a better view of it from Las Palmas (luckily, Las Palmas is a higher elevation than Highland) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...537/ZIZm2y.png GSV -look at that little 'room' on the right with the door cracked opened. __ |

That's the 1926 Roman Gardens at 2000 North Highland Avenue. They were mentioned in mdiederi's post about the Lost French Village of Hollywood because they had the same architects. BifRayRock also posted some black and white images in post #15726. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...manGardens.jpg Michael Locke on Flickr |
:previous: That's an excellent photograph. I like how the building has aged.
I looked at the 1930s black & white photos BRR had posted earlier, and I prefer how it looks now. _ |
"To Move 10,000-Ton Los Angeles Building, ca. 1931"
"Described by engineers as the largest moving job ever undertaken west of the Mississippi, work was under way on the moving of the 5-story, 10,000-ton Brunswig Building in Los Angeles to make way for the extension of Spring Street as part of the civic center plan. To avoid cutting through the building for the extension, the structure will be given a quarter turn and moved back, so the side of the structure will become the front facing the New Spring Street. The structure will be lifted on 1,200 jacks and turned on 2000 steel rollers to its new position. This photograph shows the north side of the building which will be turned around."

I don't believe we've seen this photograph of 512 S Broadway in 1952.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/1xUktf.jpg ebay That's the Roxie Theater to its right. Here's 512 S. Broadway today. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...538/c4mAkk.png GSV |
I just came across this amazing photograph on ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Real...item487934d810 Harness Shop plus Undertaker/Embalmer, Los Angeles, 1870s? 1880s? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...909/CXlNCq.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Real...item487934d810 below: Here it is larger, so it's easier to see the clues.

e-r, if you have a subscription to newspapers.com, it looks like you could maybe get the address for F.H. Mason, harness-maker & undertaker. The snippet below is from the 6/20/03 Covina Argus :

While sitting around this Saturday afternoon, KCET televised Ralph Story's "Things Than Aren't Here Anymore." It reminded me that I own the VHS of this program; it's still fun to watch nevertheless.
