Question posed by FredH.
http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/9131/teed2fredh.jpg http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/9...isteedhill.jpg :previous: Hmmmm....VERY interesting FredH.. I don't see which house you're talking about in the trailer court photo BUT....you're right, this could be the same hill if we're looking east down Ord Street. I believe that is the Post Office Terminal Annex just above the Clover Trailer Park sign. http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/9...lannexlapl.jpg lapl below: The view east down Ord Street notice the Post Office annex in the distance. http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/5...astdownord.jpg google street view below: Looking west on Ord Street from about Hill St. I believe the J.W. Robinson mansion would have been at the top of the hill and to the left (over by that huge apartment building). http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/24/...estupordst.jpg google street view I just took it for granted that the hill used in Cry Danger was Bunker Hill. If you are indeed correct...you deserve a medal FredH. :) _____ |
:previous:
In Cry Danger they drove up Sunset (now Cesar Chavez) and turned right on N. Hill Place. The trailer park was maybe 500 feet up the road, on the right. It sat right above Ord Street in Chinatown. What I meant in my last post was that the J.W. Robinson mansion looks like it may have been in about the same location as the Clover Trailer Park was 40 years or so later. Clover Trailer Park was located in the highlighted area http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/6290/trailernq.jpg Google Maps |
OK I see what you meant FredH.
I haven't seen 'Cry Danger' so I didn't realize you were able to track their movement to the trailer court. You are indeed correct about the location of the Robinson Mansion. Am I the only one that thought the Clover Trailer Park was on Bunker Hill? I admit I can be slow at times. :) |

The J.W. Robinson residence on Teed Street near Bellevue Avenue. http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/2892/teedst2.jpg http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/3762/teedstoltzf2.jpg http://www.stoltzfamily.us/?p=451 G_W, I finally found a map (1899) that shows Bellevue Avenue intersecting N. Broadway as mentioned in the Stoltz Family blog (see above) http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/8...ap1899deta.jpg 1899 map detail below: If you follow the tracks Bellevue Avenue is Sunset Boulevard. http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/9...eetmap1899.jpg 1899 map/source unknown. found on an old CD But now that we have placed Bellevue Avenue in the area of the J.W. Robinson Mansion we have lost Teed Street. :( So where is Teed?? It looks as if it was replaced by Yale Street or that slightly curved section of Hill Street. _____ |
One more interesting thing about Teed Street before I move on to another subject.
Teed Street is missing on Google Street Views....so I was quite surprised to see it on my new street map of L.A. http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/939...existscopy.jpg The Thomas Guide |
Teed Street
:previous:
Now, that is really strange. According to your map, Teed Street should be between N. Hill Place and Hill Street http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/4148/teedq.jpg Google Maps It should go from Cesar Chavez to Ord Street between those buildings. Obviously, it is not there. At any rate, It seems that the J.W. Robinson mansion was up in that area somewhere. :shrug: |

1899 Map
That's a stunner, ER
Consider this: All the street names were hand-lettered by the cartographers. HAND LETTERED! Check out the street at the extreme upper-left, radiating from "SISTERS HOSPITAL" ---- "BEAURY" ?? And a couple blocks east and south of that: "FUGUEROA". ----Maybe our cartographer had a few too many Green Rivers with Schlitz chasers the night before when he got to that part of the map. LOL :cool: Quote:

Remnants and relics
e_r: So it seems that Teed Street still exits on some current maps but vanished from the actual streetscape years ago.... but at least now I see that the east section of Bellevue (or Belle Vue or Belleview, depending on the cartographer) from about Sisters Hospital became an extension of Sunset/Chavez.... Of course, even though I knew you'd done your due diligence and cruised the area by Google Street View, I naturally had to do so myself, hoping, hoping to uncover some relic of Teed on more than just a map. Oh the pain of finding nothing... but...
Loving relics of the streetscape as I do, I was gratified to find a remnant in the form of steps back on Westchester Place, which we were discussing a few days ago. They are apparently from a third Rosenheim house design on the street, the Robert Marsh house at 1119 Westchester. Looks like this short flight of steps and wall are left from the original Marsh grounds... https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-e...chesterold.jpgKansas Sebastian http://jpg3.lapl.org/pics23/00061276.jpgLAPL https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-T...2520AM.bmp.jpgGoogle Street View https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-R...2520AM.bmp.jpgGoogle Street View |
Telephone directories
I seem to remember a few postings ago that someone had old copies of LA telephone directories.
If anyone has a copy circa 1930 will you kindly ley me know if there is an entry for "Guy Mcafee" - and if so - what address is shown thank you:thankyouthankyou: |
:previous:
In the 1929 city directory Guy McAfee was at 121 W Fremont Place--pretty swanky.... I think we've seen him here on these pages before. I assume you mean the Guy Mcafee who started out as a cop and then ran nightclubs on the Strip during Prohibition and then went on to Las Vegas.... |
Thank you - that's the Guy Mcafee - also known as the Al Capone of LA - are you aware of any photos/pictures of his address ?:cheers:

This is NOT 121 Fremont Place West... it's McAfee's house in Beverly Hills in 1950 after a fire. (Search for "mcafee" at http://photos.lapl.org/carlweb/jsp/photosearchADV.jsp? and you'll find more pics of this house.) McAfee rented 121 Fremont Place and then 98 Fremont Place...see http://fremontplace.blogspot.com/ |
