But don't watch the one with me in it. Ugh. But then, we're our own worst critic, right? If you want to watch something really good—shameless plug (I don't feel bad "promoting" here since it's a free event, and I'm not getting paid)—come to this, since it's up the collective alley of a gang of NLAer's, I'd reckon: an hour or so showing slides of and talking about Richardsonian Romanesque in Old LA. |
...and as long as everybody's talking about Clifton's, I'd be remiss in my duties as an R B Young fan not to point out:

Enough already. When is this place gonna open?
I think we (NLA) should meet together and "enjoy" whatever they'll offer soon after re-opening. NO! We should get first dibs, special treatment and ceremony. Please see to that E_R. :D Quote:

Rowland was part of what became Covina, so that would tie into what others have found. |
:previous:-thanks for the additional information oldstuff!
So this might be little Hillard. (my original guess of 1880s for the date of the photo seems to be way off).....It's probably 1900 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...913/HKltDo.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...537/m6j8Jv.png :previous: I don't recall seeing the building in it's original state. -thanks Beaudry. It was a beauty. To be honest, I've never liked the oversized 'tongue depressors' that were added to the first floor of Clifton's. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/Pk6Fvq.jpg At least they didn't go for the XTL tongue depressors like the building below.;) Quote:

I don't believe we've seen this establishment on NLA.
The Empire Café Cocktail Lounge, Pico at Alvarado. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/661/1LyBR0.jpg ebay (someone has written 1936 on the cover) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/IeGIoU.jpg ebay "Free Parking At 124_(3?) S. Alvarado Street, S.O.S Garage." I wonder how far the garage was from the café? -and what does S.O.S stand for? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/661/AOu6pG.jpg ebay __ |
Hillard Mason was born in October of 1894. The pictures of his father's harness shop would have been taken prior to 1900 as he would have been six in that year, depending on the month when the picture was taken. He looks smaller than six in the photo, more like four or so which would put the picture around 1896 or so. All this is presuming that the boy in the photo is Hillard.
His parents were married in Los Angeles in 1893. |

one question: Why do you think it was called the Coliseum Bar when it was located way over on 4th Street? __ |

I just found this a few minutes ago on ebay.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...538/WAXVcg.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/Los-Angeles-...item541946c077 "35mm Slide, Viaduct and San Pedro Street, Los Angeles, ca. 1957" It makes a great companion photograph with the photo below that I posted a couple weeks ago. I believe that's the same building on the left in both photographs. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...537/EPvdyh.jpg ebay Quote:
I probably should know, but what is this large gray building? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...673/yyhZ7Y.jpg detail from top foto __ |
I could have sworn we'd seen this picture before, but a quick search turned up no previous mentions. The Bel-Rio Hotel Apartments were at 711 S Rampart Boulevard. It look like this picture is dated 1978.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...lRioHotel1.jpg eBay Despite the earthquake worries in the caption, the building is still there, although it now seems to be called Greenwich West. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...lRioHotel2.jpg GSV The old name still survives as a ghost sign on the gable wall, although I had to go back to 2009 to get a shot that wasn't obstructed by trees. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...lRioHotel3.jpg GSV Before I finish with the Bel-Rio, I thought I should do a little digging to find out how old the building is. A couple of property sites give a build date of 1924. The original name seems to have been the Blasdel Arms, which appears in several of the CDs up until 1942. Imagine my surprise when I took the Googlemobile around to Hoover Street and found a ghost sign with the Blasdel Arms name still visible on the back of the building. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...lRioHotel4.jpg GSV |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...hSanPedro1.jpg GSV It seems to have retained a fair amount of its first floor detailing (I assume it's original). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...hSanPedro2.jpg GSV |
:previous: I didn't bother with the google-mobile because I honestly didn't expect it to be there.
Needless to say, it's a pleasant surprise. I'm sure someone will be able to dig up some more information on the building. |
Unfortunately, this is no improvement on the name:
