Mystery location.
This negative was listed on eBay about a month ago. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/4DUu8F.jpg Positive Image https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/923/mVTlCA.jpg eBay / location: Los Angeles ......................................................................Has anyone heard of the Lufkin Foundry & Machine Co? f.y.i. Lufkin has been mentioned just once before on NLA. In this POST Quote:
He includes close-ups of some of the buildings and one of them (a current view) is similiar to the building in the Lufkin photograph but I don't think it's the same building. . |
Well, if that's a street name on the upper right corner of the Lufkin building, I make it out to be "MODE ???"
Cheers, Earl |
e_r: The Pacific Coast Division of the Lufkin Foundry and Machine Co. was at 5959 S. Alameda (which is now an empty lot):

Florence Crittenton Home
I'm looking for historical photos (1960s) and/or information regarding the Florence Crittenton Home in Los Angeles. My grandparents were employed there: my grandfather as property and maintenance, and my grandmother as the RN to the unwed mothers. I use to visit them sometimes and roam the halls and grounds... basically, I was bored and some of the young girls would talk to me. If the photo I saw posted of the side view of the building is accurate, my grandparents apartment was the on the second floor and entry was the staircase on the outside of the building. The hills around the property was layered with hay-like grass and I would slide down the hills on a piece of cardboard. If this is the same property, the grass-covered stairs in the one photo led up to the property where some of the girls would go to smoke, read, chat or relax. There was a goldfish pond I would visit to watch the fish. Thanks for any information or suggestions as to where I can find more information and photos.

:previous: Hi NW Artist
There is an old map that shows the Crittenton Hospital in Post 34661 A couple of black and white photographs (LAPL -no date) of the former Forence Crittenton Hospital are included in Post 34666 There are other items about Crittenton on the thread but the photographs are blurred by the company hosting the photos. You can find the posts by typing "Crittenton" in the SEARCH feature (upper right), but maybe you've already done that. Good luck! |
I recently happened upon this original Kodachrome slide on eBay.
Date: 1956. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/gucaiD.jpg eBay (Gone now) I'm curious about the green and yellow modern building across the street. The one with the yellow moon-shaped (ROUND) sign. It looks like it might be a restaurant. ...Does anyone remember this building? I couldn't help but notice the grungy parking lot booth. Here's a close-up. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/FGfoLL.jpg detail It wouldn't have taken much effort, or money, to slap on a quick coat of white paint. . |

If you've got a Kinko's/FedEx, Office Depot, OfficeMax, UPS, or Staples nearby, they can scan it for you. According to this article, it should cost less than a buck! |

I'd love to see the photograph as well, naudeu. |

1927 yard long panorama photograph.... mystery location? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/922/mXpPdr.jpg eBay (found about a month ago) The seller didn't know the location but I'm pretty sure I recognize the large building in the back. (as you can see, it's adorned with bunting) Let's look a little closer. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/jdtl6X.jpg detail I'm sure you minions noirishers will recognize the building, as well. Now let's zoom in so we can see what is written at the bottom of the photograph. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/AQVZ5c.jpg detail ...................................................................International Sales Convention, First National Pictures Inc. .........................................................................................Los Angeles.....May 1927.....California I imagine most of the attractive young women are ingenues & starlets from First National Pictures. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/t1Q0Sv.jpg detail Here are a couple more. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/GI9znQ.jpg It would be so great to go back in time and meet some of these people. . |
