I've never heard of Luckman's penthouse before. (I tried to find some photographs but came up empty) Did you...by chance..take any photographs while you were up there? :whistle: I didn't find photos, but I read that Luckman's wife had a rose garden on the roof) -no doubt to go with that 'ranch house look' you mentioned. Here's the 1971 tower under construction. [9200 Sunset Blvd.] https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/oG5p7y.jpg haleyfans __ p.s. I see that Charles Luckman is an alum of University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. I grew up near there :) one more tid-bit: In 1946, 37-year-old Charles Luckman made the cover of Time magazine as the "Boy Wonder of American Business" when he was named president of the Pepsodent toothpaste company. from urbanlifeworld https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/3...924/kyVz5O.jpg TIME CO. |

For one thing, it appears to lack the Doric pilasters - and the arched windows that go between them: https://i.imgur.com/xRGGw6H.jpgKCET Also, I don't believe that the dome on the Angelus has this ring around it: https://i.imgur.com/Wt72sHY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/VZaBoWt.jpgLINK The eBay seller doesn't seem to be sure that this is even Los Angeles - he could be right about that. At first I thought it might be the old "Siege of Paris" panorama that you mentioned here, ER, but upon inspection it looks nothing like the building above. Beyond that, what other domed buildings are there (or were there) in Los Angeles? |
:previous: Thanks for looking into this Scott Charles.
.I thought perhaps the 'ring' around the dome hadn't been built yet with the photo was taken. (but somehow it still looked wrong) When I first saw the photo, Albert Speer and Berlin came to mind. Oh, and one more thing Scott... your 'Barfly Part: 2' was fantastic! (I'm running out of superlatives for you ;)) I appreciate all your hard work. __ |

ETA: There was also a domed building on Ventura east of DeSoto in the Valley, I know there were some posts here about that one. |

When I went to Aviation High School in Redondo Beach in the 1970s, there was a domed structure on top of one of the buildings at TRW Space Park next door. In my senior year everyone on campus was flabbergasted one day to look at that dome and observe it was deflating. We all assumed it was a rigid structure. It had been in place and immobile for years. |

So the drunk duo decide to eat the green corn?
I KEEP COMING ACROSS THIS QUOTE. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/3...923/bAV3XA.jpg GREAT QUOTES __ |

Thanks, ER - it's actually fun to throw this stuff together when you're a fan of LA, old buildings, and filming locations. Quote:
"I just thought that we had something a little special. I guess it was just green corn..." Wanda is the green corn eater. Henry keeps telling her things like “look at those ears, they're still young - they're green, you can't eat that stuff” and “that stuff is green, look at it” - but Wanda is too drunk to realize/accept the fact, until she tries to eat the corn. |
:previous: Thanks for the clarification Scott Charles.
Here's the scene where Faye tries eating the green corn. 'mystery' cottage https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/HfjqAB.jpg from 'Burbank Scene This 1976 article was found among Wes Clark's miscellaneous items (with no additional information or comments) The article goes into detail about the ranchos but fails to mention the address of the house. (no doubt to give the man living there his privacy) I hope someone had the forsight to protect this 1843 cottage (I mean, they were aware of its history in 1976..) Does anyone know if it is still standing? (or where it was when this article was written) __ |

https://s26.postimg.cc/3l3mhzwuh/provi2.jpg http://wesclark.com/burbank/city_of_burbank.html I'm finding again and again that research into this question tends to end up at Rancho Encino historical structures--not what we're after. :brickwall: |
HERE'S ODINTHOR'S MAP AGAIN SINCE THIS POST STARTED A NEW PAGE.
1877 https://s26.postimg.cc/3l3mhzwuh/provi2.jpg http://wesclark.com/burbank/city_of_burbank.html Your map is a good starting point odinthor. Thanks so much! The 1976 article says the tract included "an overseer's house and numerous barns as well as the little wood cottage itself." I would think the 'house' drawn on the map represents the overseer's house. Unfortunately, without a photograph there's no way of knowing where, exactly, the shepherd's cottage was located. __ I just noticed the 'Scott Tract', next to Rancho Providencia, was owned by D. Burbank. "Dr. David Burbank's ranch house built in 1867. It stood on what is now the back lot of Warner Brothers studio." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/ILVVAh.jpg WES CLARK So was Burbank's Scott Tract originally part of Rancho Providencia? and why isn't Burbank's house on the map? :shrug: __ I obviously need to go back and reread the information again. I jumped the gun with this post. |
