This Julius Shulman photo is simply labeled "Job 4649: Parking garage, civic center, 1970". The State Building can be seen in the background.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Getty Research Institute This is as close as I could get with GSV. The distinctive wall design is probably easier to see on the side facing N Hill Street. I had to go back to March 2014 to get the Googlemobile on this side of the street - by June 2014 the parking rate had doubled! http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original GSV |
:previous: That wall panel is very interesting Hoss. I'm glad it survived. (are the panels on all four sides?)
& I love that top photo with the long gone State Building. __ |

Alligator jockey in this shot is starlet Bonita Granville. |
:previous: The attractive blonde standing over Ms. Granville is quite intriguing looking. It appears she doesn't have much make-up on (she's rather dark around the eyes)
She reminds me of some photographs of Jean Harlow, when she doesn't have a ton of theatrical make-up on. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...922/DxlueF.jpg http://rarerborealis.com/wordpressblog/tag/bootleg/ ...or when Ms. Harlow was falling ill. _ |

Here is a towering 'pre-stock market crash' building proposal that I found last night on eBay.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...921/5LwWCA.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/LA6-1929-Los...kAAOSwnNBXVKF0 "Architect's drawing of the Hancock Park Hotel, which will rise 40 stories high just outside the Los Angeles City Limits." [11/29/1929] This is a very impressive proposal. I'd love to know what plot of land they were going to build it on. That said, I didn't realize the Hancock Park area was outside the city limits in 1929. (perhaps they were just using the Hancock Park name for marketing purposes) various stamps and information on the back http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...921/NGsnLE.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/LA6-1929-Los...kAAOSwnNBXVKF0 _ |

To see an especially LARGE photo of those people picking wild poppies go here: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=10324 fhammon wrote: "It's a colorized photo of a bunch of people enjoying the flowers just outside of Rubio Canyon in what is now Altadena. The area was previously known as Las Flores by the Spanish for obvious reasons. You can see the electric rail line in the background that would take passengers to the funicular that ran up to Echo Mt." _________________ I just found this additional information: "One field of poppies above Pasadena became a famous tourist attraction. Often referred to as the Altar Cloth of San Pasqual -- a reference to a revered 16th-century Spanish friar who knelt among wildflowers to pray -- the poppy field attracted photographers and sightseers for decades, and the Mt. Lowe Railway added a Poppyfields station where passengers could stop to collect bouquets." https://www.kcet.org/socal-focus/whe...ed-each-spring __ |

Does anybody know anything about these townhomes in Westlake? I think they're really neat and they might become historically preserved now.

I checked out a few building permits for this block of Columbia Avenue, and they were all dated January 25th, 1923. Here's an example: http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...olumbiaAv1.jpg Online Building Records |
The location of these Julius Shulman images may be hard to track down. The title is simply "Job 122: Lot, 1947" - that's your LOT! :)
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Here's an enlargement of the sign in case anyone can read it. The only address I could find for the Jack Tyre Glass Corp Ltd was in an office block in Long Beach. Beaudry, does it appear in the 1947 Telephone Directory that you used to find the Plyform Co? http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Notice the man between the crates in the back row of this second picture. He seems to be packing/unpacking glass, which fits with the sign above. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original Both from Getty Research Institute |
Could this be a clue Hoss?
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/KNuKzw.jpg detail It looks like an air-raid siren on the roof of the building across the street. If I remember correctly, there's a list of air-raid siren locations in the Los Angeles area, but I couldn't find it at the moment. __ |
