2nd Street through there was, at one time, called Silver St.. I've wondered if that was part of it. Anyway, just Emerald is left now and two bits of Diamond. |

I picked up this 1966 guide map in an antique store in South Pasadena, while I was in SoCal for the Route 66 90th anniversary festival 3 weeks ago.

Today's Julius Shulman post takes us to Long Beach. This is "Job 97: Louis Shoall Miller, Frank Bros. (Long Beach, Calif.), 1947".
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original The other side of the street looks quite empty. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Here's a better look at the interior, and the furniture on sale. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original I'll finish with this night shot. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute Frank Bros was at 2400 American Avenue (now Long Beach Boulevard). The building is visible on the 1972 aerial view, but the lot looks empty in 1994. Today, it seems to be a parking lot for school buses. |

In a compilation labeled "Codan Engineering" with unidentified Southern CA images, one struck a cord because of a facade that seems slightly out of place. Or it might have seen more in keeping with the former ModernCraft Laundry at 900 La Brea Av. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=10393 A very cursory CD search for "Kuster Electric" was not very productive, suggesting that the structure may have been located in an outlying area. 1960 - Kunster Electric, "801" http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/o...v.jpg~originalhttp://hdl.huntington.org/cdm/compou...coll2/id/66122 http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/o...9.jpg~original http://lh3.ggpht.com/gogonotes/SO6QF...8/L1020662.JPG |

The HE exchange was HEmlock in Long Beach. The 1960 Long Beach CD lists the Kuster Electric Co at 1030 Long Beach Boulevard. The sign below has a large "801" which refers to their construction yard at 801 W 14th. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rElectric1.jpg Huntington Digital Library The two buildings on the right are still standing. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rElectric2.jpg GSV |

I hated it when those gyms closed. Vic himself finally gave me a life membership. My Membership was D23. 1957." -Robert Fleischer :previous: I was surprised the Santa Monica location was in a basement! I wonder if it moved 'above ground' at some point in time. __ There was also a location at Hawthorne and 131st street as well.

:previous: Nice save HossC. Thanks. The facade seems avant-gard, but maybe not, considering some of its 14th Street neighbors.:shrug: Too bad it lost some of its gingerbread over the years. http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/o...g.jpg~originalGooglestreetview http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/o...z.jpg~originalgooglestreetview |
Birthday celebration at the Colony Club in 1952. Looks like a fun party!
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...921/gfxOeE.jpg petermoruzzi.com We saw the cover on NLA back in 2012 (but not the photograph) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/KsE9dC.jpg fhammon http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=8662 Much to my surprise, I don't believe we have seen a photograph of the exterior of the Colony Club. (I looked through the past posts) It was located at Western and 149th Street (see menu cover below) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...921/6z29VQ.jpg http://vintage-ads.livejournal.com/3697197.html There's a comment on the 'vintage-ads' site that says the Colony Club burnt down in 1962. -so perhaps that's why it's been difficult to locate a photograph of the place. __ See the inside of the menu here: http://www.kitsch-slapped.com/wp-con...que-Queens.jpg |
Arnold St / Crown Hill Ave / W 3rd St

Mr McFarland's funeral was held there on 20 Feb 1911 (he left an estate of $200K, much of it in Times/Mirror stock): https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/4E...NbE=w1366-h768 los angeles herald 21 feb 1911 The area was considerably built up by the time of Mr McFarland's demise. The Floral Apartments would soon go in next door to the east and the Crown Hill Apartments were already built to the north, across the avenue. The neighborhood was rapidly ceasing to be the country district it once was: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/b1...2wQ=w1366-h768 baist 1921, plate 7 A bit of Crown Hill Avenue (nee Arnold) still exists between Columbia Ave and Union Place. |

My Grandfather had this picture in his home office in Buffalo NY. I have no idea why or how. Even my brother remembers it. |
:previous: That's curious. Was he originally from the Los Angeles area?
