Lumber dealer James Shultz had Harwood Hewitt build 53 Fremont Place in 1918—it's still there, if in the shadow of a condominium facing Wilshire Blvd. The Shultzes stayed for about eight years...then among others came Emma Rhinock and her much married children, one of whom, Laura, married silent star Roy D'Arcy—twice. Her end would be noirish.... The story of the house and its inhabitants is here: http://bit.ly/1GAW8dM (FB page: http://on.fb.me/1roPXOM) We don't seem to have come across Roy before. Here's a great informative bio of him by Larry Harnisch: http://ladailymirror.com/2014/12/15/...devilish-grin/ http://ladailymirror.files.wordpress...pg?w=684&h=886Mary Mallory |

The Samuel Markowitz house at 96 Fremont Place, the rear of which is seen at right in BRR's shots, is still there. What's very rare is a view in the middle shot--if fuzzy--of one of the curving colonnades that were originally part of the four Fremont Place gates (more here and here). More on 96 Fremont here. The Olympic Special lamp standards, if not the teardrop fixtures, are still in place. The one at the NE corner seen close-up in BRR's third shot may be the same one (if it wasn't, say, knocked down by a car at some point and replaced). https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-y....bmp.jpg?gl=USGSV |

When Googling his name, recent real estate sales reveal a house he did build, 1838 Buckingham, in Lafayette Square, built in 1923. The real estate site has pictures of the property outside and also the interior |

Some Times photos from his visit to LA in 1919--apparently he suffered his debilitating stroke before he got back to Washington. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-y....bmp.jpg?gl=US https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-u....bmp.jpg?gl=US https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0....bmp.jpg?gl=US https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-H....bmp.jpg?gl=US All LAT |

This photo was taken just five days before Wilson collapsed at Pueblo, Colorado, and obviously less than two weeks before his October 2 stroke. In the photo Wilson is passing in front of the evangelical church on the NE corner of 12th and Hope: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=25666 |
:previous: Good eye Flyingwedge. I was hoping someone might recognize the buildings in the Wilson photo.

I recently came across this amazing photograph on eBay.
The E.W. Jones Building. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/EhYNxq.jpg eBay Above E.W. Jones, it also says 7th Regiment Armory. huh? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...673/4rrnmd.jpg So I take it this was the regiment's location before moving to the Copeland Building on the northwest corner of 8th and Spring streets? Copeland Building https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/F...(CHS-5184).jpg ____ detail / the lower right corner. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...901/MYnXYY.jpg I found this address, 611 S. Broadway for Coons http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...537/9lbUir.jpg -while looking for the E.W. Jones Building, I also found this: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...901/lZKMIV.jpg http://pcad.lib.washington.edu/building/17376/ |

Up until maybe 2004 the LARWY row was still peaking out of the street. I lived on the 1200 block of Windsor for about a yr, and i remember freaking out when i found the " track crack" "(as Ralph Cantos calls it) in the middle of the street. it went west a bit then made a left onto Victoria heading north.. I'm not too sure what this line was called but i know its labeled as 10th street. I know i took some photos of the "track crack" but im sure they are back in Dallas. |

I'm almost certain the correct spelling of the architect's name is W.J. Saunders. He designed other commercial buildings in DTLA during the 20's, but he may be best known for the two Swiss Chalet Craftsman bungalows he designed in Pasadena, the Rhodes house (1906) at 365 W. Bellevue Drive, as shown in this Michael Locke photo: http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...psfdjcekhd.jpgMichael Locke on Flickr And the Bartlett house at 572 Prospect Boulevard: http://pasadena.cfwebtools.com/image...ospect_572.jpgCHRID |

And, everyone knows the Mooers house, but I've never seen that photo - er, screen cap, really - of it. Very interesting read and set of photos overall from IAmNotAStalker. |
