Garrett & Bixby established themselves about 1896 and designed all sorts of residences, business blocks, commercial structures but were most prolific in apartment houses. They seem to have split about 1912 and as far as I can tell this is Bixby's first commission on his own.

-and the train on the right painted red. What a beauty!

I can't quite read the sign in the rear doorway of the double-decker car...it appears to say No-Level, then something written beneath it.

Thanks for the information on 111 W. 7th Street tovanger2 and HossC. -much appreciated.


Actually the placard reads "Hi-Level Chair Car". This is part of a trainset for Santa Fe's "El Capitan" all-coach service from Los Angeles to Chicago. This type of equipment made its debut (per Wikipedia) on July 15, 1956, so this obviously staged photo likely would date to about that time.

As for ATSF 1010's red paint job, a Google search brought me to a thread on Trainorders.com which suggested that it had been done for a GE TV commercial. I find that a little surprising, as color TVs were pretty rare then. Still, I didn't find any better info for you, ER, so that's at least a working hypothesis.

One anecdote about the 1010: it was one of the locomotives employed on Death Valley Scotty's famed record-breaking run from L.A. to Chicago in 1905. So this might've been why ATSF chose it to pose opposite the new El Capitan.

The wall of the Van Nuys house is still there in Godzilla's views...but the house itself is probably gone. Could it be that the drivers were distracted by the sight of a huge house moving down off its hill?


Per Historic Los Angeles's Windsor Square site: "Isaac Newton Van Nuys left his name to Los Angeles in the form of a hotel and a San Fernando Valley district, among other things. While the Valley is now considered suburban, so too in 1899 was the area between downtown Los Angeles and MacArthur Park, where Van Nuys built his house at 1445 West Sixth Street to the design of Frederick L. Roehrig. With suburbs multiplying at a dizzying rate, Angelenos were always looking to moveā€”and it was not all that uncommon for them to take their houses with them. After I. N. died in 1912, J. B. Van Nuys took over his father's house, in 1915 moving it off its hillock in pieces to a new (and flatter) lot in Windsor Square three miles west. There it was reassembled and remains at the northwest corner of Lorraine Boulevard and West Fourth Street."

Another two June 1915 - photos, possibly from the same neighborhood as Loma Drive and Sixth. No obvious address indicators, although someone might recognize the structures and the street car tracks. Suppose it was not uncommon for oil derricks to dot the neighborhood. :shrug:

It would be interesting (to me) to see the gardeners at work on those tiered lawns. Certainly by 1915, some lawn/farming equipment was gasoline powered; however, there may have been plenty of labor to offset equipment costs and maintenance. Notice in one shot what might appear to be a hitching post or it could be a denuded Norfolk Pine sapling. Guessing the So Cal Edison Co. responsible for these images made a conscious effort to play up the virtues of modern mechanization/electrification and downplay or ignore the horse and buggy age. May be pure coincidence, but there may even be an electric vehicle in the first picture.

A bit more to ad to what HH said. It was indeed a General Electric Appliance ad which caused the Red to be applied. This was done in the mid 1960's while the Hi Level car was part of the equipment introduced in 1956 one component of an upgraded Santa Fe El Capitan. Not sure why they would be promoting it this late in the game.

Cheers,

I haven't read any reports of financial difficulties.

LA curbed describes the rehab as "achingly slow".

Los Angeles Eater has more here, including a schedule (of sorts).

As you said, I too was hoping the Clifton's project would inspire the next-door neighbors, but Cliftons has been out of commission so long, it may have had the opposite effect

Here's a house on Bartlett Street, just northeast of the "Stack"--

William Petzold, a janitor in an office building, was at 824 Bartlett St in the '09CD; then, in subsequent CDs through 1921, at 825 Bartlett (perhaps the '09 CD is in error, or the renumberings of many streets around 1910 had something to do with the change). The Petzolds appear to have moved to Beaudry Street by 1922.

Anyway, here's the house today:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-a....bmp.jpg?gl=USGSV

William Petzold was born in New York on February 6, 1865. He and his wife Eva were married in about 1893 in New York. The family appears at 506 E. 1st Street, Los Angeles in the 1900 Census. The 1910 Census, while the printing is faint, appears to have his place of employment as a janitor, listed as the Times office. They are on Bartlett Street, where they owned the home. The two little girls on the porch in the picture are probably his daughters Florance, born in New York in 1896 and Nellie, born in New York in 1898. By the time the 1910 census was taken the family also has a son, William, Jr. born in 1910.

In 1920 the employment is listed as a newspaper office, still as a janitor. The family was living on Bartlett at that time.

When he appears in the 1930 census he is a printer in a publishing house and owns the house at 842 N. Beaudry. This house, built in 1921, is no longer there, or has been covered by apartments that were built on the property in 1947

William died in Los Angeles in 1944.

Young palms line Canon Drive in Beverly Hills, circa 1918
 
Here's one I don't think we've seen here before - a 1918 shot of Canon Drive in Beverly Hills. It's so funny to see those tall mature palm trees so short and tiny. (To say nothing of that wide, open land...)

So are all the snapshots of the same studio? -and what does the photographer mean by "Fox Hill Studio." Are these early images of 20th Century Fox?

The original rounded soundstage roof designs at Mack Sennett's Studio City stages and 20th Century Fox's stages differ from the angled ones here - perhaps that's the back of the current Culver Studios as we look north over a natural Ballona Creek with the Tarzan Jungle set of the Back Forty Acres Lot? The lot does nearly back up to the Culver City's Fox Hills. Would any of the other photos in this set work for that lot? If so, rare pictures indeed... -brett

Excellent 1612HD. I'm so glad you opened this up again. I think you've got something. Fox Hills Dr, just west and parallel to the Fox lot (half of which is now Century City Mall) and Fox Hills Mall (and drive) in Culver City confuse people to this day (I'm not immune). As you say, the subject photos could all be of the same lot (except that one "Beverly Hills" caption would seem to indicate the Fox lot, which shares a border with Beverly Hills).

A major issue in this little mystery, and just to be extra confusing, the former Forty Acres lot isn't in the Fox Hills neighborhood of Culver City which is a couple of miles away bordering Ladera Heights. Fox Hills is an office park and condos (no houses), the mall and Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery (containing the distinctive Jolson monument). As far as I know, there is no landscape feature called "Fox Hills", just the neighborhood. The Baldwin Hills is the landscape feature and part of those hills may be seen across Ballona creek from the "Back Forty".

Culver Studios left and the former "Forty Acres" right:

No, but restoration has taken much longer than expected. Not to worry though; they're getting there. They may be ready to reopen by late summer. They were far enough along to do this for Night on Broadway back in January:

But the... what? Was there something else that accidentally got cut off?

In any case, thank you SO much, Godzilla! This is an interesting pair of photographs - and they are of the same location, not just similar, as I can see the same billboards in both and even the very edge of the "California Hotel" sign in the photo of the motorcycle cop.

However, this precise location is something of a mystery because San Bernardino was not one of the beacon locations. In fact the Barstow beacon was the only official Richfield aerial beacon anywhere in San Bernardino County. The service station has a canopy which the SoCal beacon stations did not, with the exception of Beaumont whose building was moved, and it had a canopy after that point at least. This tower also seems to say 'Richfield' on all 3 sides. This is apparently a replica, not part of the aerial beacon chain but still quite large. I have seen 1930s photos of a replica tower at a location in OR or WA but it was clearly much smaller than the real thing, and smaller than this one as well.

Thanks very much for the new mystery to unravel!

Sight unseen, I would defer to you on Richfield beacon-iana. When you use the term "replica" are your suggesting some towers were not part of the original '20s plan? If that is the case but Richfield endorsed the towers, maybe they are more aptly described as version"2."

I believe "the but" was inadvertent and originally part of another observation concerning the trailer camp sign which may say "rainbow." My vision is a little fuzzy and the first letter may be an "S." Another clue may come from the San Bernardino Fire Company no. 3 markings. Finally, notice the "Sunset" Station behind the truck and across the street.

That's right. They were originally envisioned as both advertising and private aids to aerial navigation. The Commerce Department got up to speed on setting up their own beacons very quickly however, so the Richfield beacons were obsolete really quickly. Add in Richfield's bankruptcy due to the depression, and nearly all of the aerial beacons were turned off by 1931, leaving them as advertising symbols only.

Quote:

Maybe so, but these later ones seem more like one-off local vendor creations rather than an actual project by corporate. I have not seen a single thing about them in any of my searches. There is one book on the subject and it makes no mention of them, either.

I think you may be right that the trailer camp sign may say "Rainbow". I will be searching for it shortly. I have come to the conclusion that this site was probably at the very end of Foothill Blvd., where it takes a curve and becomes 5th St. heading into San Bernardino. Foothill originally continued straight and became 4th until the early 1930s. This would make sense for the California Hotel sign - driving east you would need to take the new curve to the left to arrive at the hotel at 5th & E. This would place the station in the Y where 5th and 4th meet up from the east with Foothill Blvd. coming in from the west.

Here is the San Bernardino photo compared to a similar viewpoint of the Bakersfield beacon. The original ones were enormous.
