1891 LA County Courthouse's outside elevator and its first operator
Quote:
I was dismayed to learn recently that this and the other William Henry Jackson photos of Los Angeles, formerly at the Denver Public Library, are no longer hosted there. Also gone are this 1887 panorama (CHS.J3927 and CHS.J3928) and this 1901 image (CHS.J3108) looking north from 3rd and Broadway, among others. My inquiry to the DPL about the photos received this answer: "Unfortunately, those photos belong to History Colorado and, after the move to our new system, we are no longer hosting them. Hopefully, they will become available through the HC website." Maybe if enough of us contact History Colorado we'll get to see the photos again! UPDATE: I phoned History Colorado where a helpful representative directed me to this link . . . if you enter "Los Angeles" next to "All Title" you will get the WH Jackson photos of Los Angeles, though unfortunately in low resolution only. The object ID numbers from the Denver Public Library no longer seem to work . . . the 1887 panorama, which was CHS.J3927 and CHS.J3928, is now 86.200.7000 and 86.200.7001. About the above courthouse photo . . . it appears the strip of grass above the excavation for the tunnel, which led to the elevator (the cab is at the second floor), is still growing in. So the picture was likely taken in early, rather than late, 1899: https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...nel_marked.jpg The tunnel was built in the second half of 1898, around the same time as the outside elevator: https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...d_elevator.jpg May 24, 1898, Los Angeles Herald @ CDNC via UC Riverside The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors named Benjamin F. Talbot the first operator of the courthouse's outside elevator: https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...tor_-_clip.jpg December 8, 1898, Los Angeles Herald @ Newspapers.com There were some problems with the new elevator's power and controlling that power. It was written that Talbot's most faithful friend "could hardly predict success for him in his new position": https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...lbott_copy.jpg December 14, 1898, Los Angeles Record @ Newspapers.com A little over a year later, Talbot was killed when he fell to the bottom of the elevator shaft: https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ath_1_of_2.jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ath_2_of_2.jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...postscript.jpg February 18, 1900, Los Angeles Times @ Newspapers.com Read more about Benjamin Franklin Talbot here. |

Excellent observations, Flyingwedge. ..I'll contact the Denver Public Library as well. Contact DPL Here. Easy Peasy. :) I plan to do a couple of posts later today - so everyone check back. . |

Here's a one-of-a-kind snapshot that included the wooden steps leading down to the beach in Santa Monica. (1920s?) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq70/924/xlM5wJ.jpg eBay We've probably already covered this but does anyone know when -and why- the steps were removied? update:oops. I see that the seller says this is Long Beach. If Long Beach had wooden stairs I had forgotten all about them. . |
:previous:
e_r, I think the site of the steps is in the distance in this shot: https://i.postimg.cc/28Rztq0s/LBBeach.jpg odinthor collection I believe the house in your picture on the top of the bluff of which we can see a corner above the hamburger stand is the smaller, more distant, structure in my pic. Maybe it's my imagination, but I think I can see a hint of the stairs in my pic--not the dark blotch at center, but a little farther. |
:previous:
Is that the Myers/Bixby mansion on the bluff? If those are the same stairs, they were just west of the mansion, as seen in this c. 1929 aerial. That's Bixby Park at the top of the photo. I've arrowed the foot of the stairs; the building to the left seems to match e_r's photo: https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...S_-_marked.jpg IN-G-1921-A @ Historical Society of Long Beach Here is a closer look at the stairs: https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...rs_closeup.jpg |

Thanks for your help odinthor & Flyingwedge. I appreciate it, guys. Here's another intriguing Long Beach snapshot.

Here's a faded color snapshot of Pasadena dated May 1972. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/Ky16y4.jpg eBay I couldn't help but noticed the hotel sign on the roof of the building in the foreground. :previous: Does anyone know what hotel that is . . .or whether or not it's still there? Here's a closer look. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/L1boc1.png It appears the name is below the word hotel on the sign but I can't make it. . |
e_r, it's the Hotel Livingstone, listed at 123 S. Los Robles, Pasadena.

Excellent! Thanks Noir Noir. Here's a curious photograph I just saw on eBay. "VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPH SIGNS MAGNETIC HILL LONG BEACH LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA PHOTO" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/RXfhMJ.jpg eBay So is this one of those 'Magnetic Hills' that supposedly defies gravity or just a normal street? (on a hill) I vaguely recall watching a video of a so called 'magnetic hill' in one of the cemeteries in Los Angeles. ..Does this sound familiar to anyone or am I hallucinating? :shrug: UPDATE: I decided to include a close-up of the buildings at the bottom of the hill. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/cofAOc.jpg DETAIL . |

These two aerial photos were posted in 2014 by HossC, HERE.
1948 The intersection of Crescent Heights Blvd. and Fountain Ave. showing the Dustin Farnum (sometimes written as Farnham) house on the southeast corner, which was the Hollywood Guild and Canteen for a period of years in the '40s. https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...escent1948.jpg The 1952 aerial was blurry, so HossC posted this 1972 aerial showing the same replacement buildings that were in the 1952 aerial. https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...escent1972.jpg There is a scene in the film A Star is Born, using this apartment building as a location where Judy Garland lives, the Oleander Arms. I posted a night time screencap of that in 2014 as well. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AzHseRkhVp...bYk/s640/1.JPG I had only ever heard of that apartment building being called the Oleander Arms, so I thought, perhaps, that was the actual name of the place. Perhaps not. In a recent post on J.H. Graham's informative site, HERE, it's noted that the Hollywood Guild Canteen had an auction of its furnishings on 10/26/48 and officially closed on October 27. The new owner was W.E. Clark and he had that whole area demolished almost immediately. He developed the property with a 64-unit colonial-style apartment complex known as the Greenbriar Apartments. It opened on August 29, 1949. [Less than a year later!] https://jhgraham.com/wp-content/uplo...949_.jpg?w=815J.H.Graham/WWII This is the first I've heard of the name "Greenbriar Apartments." Searches don't offer much further information about that place or reveal any other photos, nor indicate the name may have been changed for the film a few years later. Also: At one point I mentioned on NLA that, unless I'm utterly confused, I remember TV news back in 1983 when they'd restored the A Star is Born film and having new showings of it, that there was a successful effort to actually save/move this apartment building, or at least a part of it, that was used in the film. I believe there was footage of them moving it. In 1985 the new apartment complex built there opened, seen in the aerial below from HossC from the same link at the start, above. https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...rescentNow.jpg Back when making these original posts about the location I'd tried searching for ANY information to verify these memories and came up with nothing about it anywhere. :shrug: Maybe, as Patsy Cline sang, "I'm :koko:" |

I might have solved one of the discrepancies in the LaDailyMirror article below. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/6PuKIz.jpg Max Weinstock at ladailymirror Note at the end where the author states the mystery deepens because St. Ives is east of Doheny, not west. (so the whole part about it being regraded and 'demagnetized' is wrong) I believe the place they should be talking about is Magnetic Terrace which branches (west) off of N.

^^^
What does it say, on the map, below-to the right, of Russian Eagle? Sunset Riding? ___ According to this article on L.A. Curbed (Link HERE) titled The Early History of the Sunset Strip: Sunset Plaza was soon occupied by real estate developers, insurance offices, and a gift shop owned by a Romanian art dealer named Michael Tocaxe. Its most famous tenant was the dimly lit Russian Eagle Café, a restaurant and reputed speakeasy at 8648 Sunset owned by General Theodore Lodijensky, a former Russian Imperial Army officer and movie bit player. Called a “haunt of motion-picture stars” by the Los Angeles Times, the café was frequented by silent stars including Rudolph Valentino, John Barrymore, Alla Nazimova, and Ramon Novarro. According to Sheila Weller, author of Dancing at Ciro’s, it was rumored that opium was smoked in the exclusive back room. The evening of June 7, 1928 was a typical star-studded night at the Russian Eagle. Boxer Jack Dempsey and his movie-star wife Estelle Taylor had just left. Though reports vary, it seems Charlie Chaplin, Gloria Swanson’s husband Marquis de la Falaise, director Eddie Sutherland, actress Lili Damita, and movie-star Colleen Moore were all still on the premises when tenants noticed oil soaking through the ceiling. Soon the smell of gas filled the Russian Eagle. A fire broke out. Its county address was this time a nuisance, as it took forever for the fire department to arrive. Chaplin and Sutherland, holding a hose, helped battle the blaze. Minutes later, with the blaze under control, Lodijensky and fire officials went to the basement to check the gas meter. They were met by a massive explosion that threw them to the ground and destroyed the Russian Eagle. Gossip about who had started the fire spread swiftly thorough out LA’s café society. Lodijensky’s cousin told the Los Angeles Times he believed “the explosion was the work of rival restaurant owners or members of a liquor ring.” But it was quickly determined Tocaxe, the Romanian gift shop owner with an imperfect grasp of the English language, was the main culprit. The public was titillated, and the Los Angeles Times reported on the arson trial daily. When Tocaxe took the stand in his defense, he claimed the fire and subsequent explosion had been heaven sent. “It was an act of God,” he claimed according to the Los Angeles Times. “I frequently burned candles to the Virgin and through this form of worship the hanging on the wall caught fire and started the disaster.” The jury was out for only 20 minutes before convicting Tocaxe of arson. ___ I saw this ad for the place on a website titled: From Captains to Movie General. The article on the page is written all in Russian. Link HERE. https://jhgraham.com/wp-content/uplo...eagle-1935.jpg The Curbed article has the address as 8648 Sunset Blvd. and the ad has it listed at 8428 Sunset Blvd. The 8428 address is across the street from the Ciro's location, the 8648 address is around the Sunset Plaza area. Martin Turnbull's website indicates that after the fire the place relocated to the Plaza Hotel in Hollywood as The Russian Eagle Cafe and Gardens and closed in 1935. It was followed in that location by the Cinnabar and then Clara Bow's IT Café. |
Hollywood Country Club
Quote:
There is a very interesting article on the faded memory & mystery of the supposed country club, which states that "Other than a street called Fairview Drive which descends down to Ventura Boulevard near Jerry's Deli, not a single trace of the once expansive Country Club exists. Over the years, Harvard Westlake (school) demolished all traces including the club house, at least three residences, and the riding stables. https://employeelawca.com/vintagela/...lscountryclub/ The article's author states that he couldn't find a single photograph of any element of the Hollywood Country Club - other than the picture of a tiny storybook cottage/office at the entrance, alongside a prominent sign - and that it was apparently one of many schemes by L.A. real-estate promoters and developers, some of whose names will be familiar to NLA readers. |

Back in 2015 e_r posted a photo of the Russian Eagle after the fire and explosion: Quote:

I believe that says "E. Broad East of Washington."

:previous:
Thanks Prophet. I was under the impression the Zulu Hut was located in Hollywood (proper) but I could only find it listed somewhere in North Hollywood. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/Ef8Avi.jpg LAPL / It's a 'Numerical Telephone Directory' / I haven't been able to find thename of the street. :shrug: . |
Searching through NewspaperArchive.com I find Zulu Hut described in a 1926 story in the Oxnard Daily Courier, about it being robbed by two gunmen.
"near Hollywood" and "a cafe on Ventura Blvd." and "located on the south side of the state highway near the Hollywood Country Club" In other articles about the robbery, actor Raymond McKee was said to be the owner. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw...-no?authuser=0 Another article describes a fire that destroyed the establishment overnight on March 1-2, 1931, then described as *formerly* owned by Raymond McKee. No more specific address was given, however. I got a circa 1928 aerial from the UCSB archive but nothing in particular stood out along the south side of Ventura Blvd near the country club that appeared to be a business with a significant parking, as one would assume for a cafe/nightclub that stayed open past midnight. The only possible candidate I spotted was a corner building with just a bit of cleared lot, at what is now 13366-13368 Ventura Blvd. |
:previous:
The Zulu Hut was located at 11100 Ventura Blvd. A post from almost ten years ago - Quote:
More Zulu Hut stuff - homesteadmuseum.blog - Zulu Hut Studio City |
Edit - Noir Noir beat me to the link and posted while I was still looking.
A quite good accounting of this place which operated for scarcely more than 6 years, late November 1924 to March 2, 1931. 11100 Ventura Blvd., now the location of the Fox and Hounds Pub, is quite some distance from the Hollywood Country Club despite the earlier description, and so not even within the aerial photo I had downloaded before. |
Russian Eagle Cafe - 8648 Sunset Blvd.

This is 8640-48 Sunset Blvd. that housed the Russian Eagle Cafe, with roof intact, right after it was built in 1924. https://i.imgur.com/YNSDeIj.jpeg It was one of the four original buildings developed by Francis Montgomery that was the initial phase of Sunset Plaza.

Noir_Noir, especially in less populated times I'm not averse to the idea that addresses of the exact same space can vary over some decades, but how do we account for the two different addresses for the Russian Eagle? Quote:
Since it's in an ad and not an article, wouldn't that be assumed to be an accurate address? There isn't any date I can find for this ad, is it possible after the explosion it moved east down the street before moving again to Hollywood? --- I've also now located this ad on J.H. Graham's website. |

To make all this even more confusing. Besides the Zulu Hut there was also the Hula Hut located at 8204 Beverly Boulevard during the same time period. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/nask4c.jpg LAPL via jhgraham https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/VnEMB6.jpg jhgraham . |

First mentions of the Russian Eagle Cafe's place it at 8648 Sunset Blvd. I don't know how long it was there before the fire and explosion in June of 1928.

She lived in this house with her husband, Tarzan actor and Olympian Johnny Weissmuller. Previously, she lived next door with actor Gary Cooper. When Cooper broke off their tempestuous relationship, it’s said Vélez followed him to the train station and fired a pistol at him. She died in this house by her own hand, pregnant and unmarried, on December 13, 1944. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds |
