I'm still working on house histories...mostly these days on Fremont Place. But as images of heretofore-obscure houses turn up by way of interested parties--such as the single small snapshot of 3033 Wilshire on which this illustration is based--I am completing the stories of the boulevard. (All houses from MacArthur Park to Rossmore have been identified; most have illustrations of one sort or another but actual photos of the obscure continue to trickle in.) William C. Price invested alongside the biggest names in Los Angeles, including Doheny, Kerckhoff, Hellman, Chandler, and O'Melveny. He was among the originators of Beverly Hills and Dana Point but chose to live in his 1905 Roehrig-designed house at 3033 Wilshire Boulevard until he died in 1929, even as Bullock's-Wilshire was going up across the street. The full story of the man and the house is here: http://bit.ly/1I6ltNc (FB page: http://on.fb.me/1roPXOM) |
Billed as driving down Wilshire in 1935. Not sure if this has been posted before, but just found it and couldn't pass it up. Hopefully I get the code right. Yes, I'm still working my way through. This might take forever. |

Anyway, it's about what you'd expect from a mid-80s made-for-TV effort. (The special effects are pretty terrible, Ed Wood would've been embarrassed.) The fun is in the locations, not least because the modern locations were filmed in the era they were built. They make a bit more sense with 80s people running around in them. The film starts out with an establishing shot of LA and its famous monorail: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-r...22326%2BPM.jpg A double-slaying shoot-out occurs at this hotel: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Y...25623%2BPM.jpg The A.I./human partners walk away from the hotel, turn a corner and are crossing the plaza at the 444 S Flower building with the BIOLA 'Jesus Saves' sign glowing in the background (that was fun to see): https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-L...14632%2BPM.jpg The hero lives at 1320 Carrol Avenue (1885) proving his quirky individualism (I guess): https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-k...74507%2BPM.jpg Carrol Ave looks better since the utilities were buried: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-a...74855%2BPM.jpg gsv A chase on the W 4th St ramps: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5...21204%2BPM.jpg A well-padded stuntman gets thrown from a van on Lower Grand: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2...21913%2BPM.jpg The climax in the river (do people in other cities, when they see footage of our river, wonder what they're looking at?). In a the end, the vehicle containing the bad guy exits the riverbed, bumps over a desolate clifftop and plunges into the ocean (an ending that came as a bit of a surprise): https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-8...23526%2BPM.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-M...23322%2BPM.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_...23129%2BPM.jpg All screenshots: JayGee Productions/Orion Television/netflix Thx MM Quote:

We've seen it here before, but, well, you know how useful the search feature is--- It was moved along with a house owned by a Newmark from Arapahoe to a lot on Alvarado. (I'm pretty sure the pics we saw here were of the houses sitting on the lot on trucks. Perhaps LAPL.) Amazingly, after severe dilapidation and a fire after the move, it's in the 1100 block of S Alvarado across from the great Ponce de Leon (see ER's post 3638).... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-X....bmp.jpg?gl=US https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-o....bmp.jpg?gl=US Both GSV Quite a comeback: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-U...20AM.jpg?gl=UShttps://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-j...vne3.jpg?gl=US LAcurbed/lottaliving.com Small pics below from http://blog.preservationnation.org/--- https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_...move.jpg?gl=UShttps://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-b...x225.jpg?gl=US |
The seller doesn't give a date (other than 1930s/50s) or location for this negative. I've found several references to Tony Sein being the manager of the Hispano Broadcasting Co between the late 1930s and early 1940s. The address was 105 E 1st Street, which is consistent with the route of the P-Line.

Saltbox Type House by Photographer Throop
I found this on ebay. At first glance I thought it was the Saltbox which burned as it was being moved for preservation but after comparing I think it's clearly not. Still, it looked so much like it I wondered how many saltbox houses existed in the city and if there are any left. The photographer is Throop, who I believe was well known. I am also hoping that this forum will provide more insight into this particular family portrait in front of the house.
