Scanning aerials on East Main Street in Alhambra, there are several possible candidates for this building, but they all have a different look on the front so there's no telling if any of them is the one from the old photo.
EDIT: I located another mention of McDaniel's Midnight Market from a 1931 newspaper ad, which places it at 110 East Main Street. Now the site of a shopping center with clearly much newer buildings. :( |

Another Jade souvenir photo/folder,
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/838/jv2a.jpg -but this one includes a glimpse of the art work inside the nightclub. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/706/9r8k.jpg ...as well as this information on the reverse (missing from my earlier post). http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/850/hc3v.jpg Four different bar areas! It sounds like an enormous place. I can't remember, have we seen the exterior before on noirish ? |

McDaniel's Midnight Market(s)
I am hoping the Alhambra McMM location was in e_r's photo because of the very noir 1930 holdup story.
The 1947 Baldwin Park directory has: McDaniel's Market R A Faiman mgr 108 E Ramona BPbut no Shaw's beauty salon is listed. A 1931 Sanborn map of BP: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...0/855/7bou.jpg ...compared with the ad found by ProphetM and HossC suggests the streets were renamed between 1931 and 1934. But there is no structure at what would have been the 100 block of E. Ramona in 1931. The street alignment is more or less the same today: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...0/823/4ly6.jpg ...although the numbering is different. |
:previous: Interesting Lorendoc.

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original California State Library This picture is from the other set. It comes with the tag "Hamilton Lodging House", but gives no other clues. Just above the bicycle there's a sign reading "Furnished Rooms". I wonder who Grace was. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original California State Library To see all the pictures, go to the California State Library website, click "Picture Catalog" and search for "yosemite camping party".

Hollywood's Detroit Connection
We've had several posts regarding Don Lee and Don Lee Cadillac Corp. located at W. 7th Ave. and S. Bixel St. in downtown Los Angeles. but there is a lot more to that story.
In 1919 Don Lee Cadillac Corp. purchased the Earl Automobile Works plant at 1320 S. Main St., and with it came a young Harley J. Earl, the son of the Earl Automotive Works founder. Harley Earl was hired away from Don Lee in 1927 and went on to become head of the GM Design Studio in Detroit. No single individual had as great an influence on automotive designs in the 20th Century as Harley Earl who ran GM's Design Studio until he retired in 1958. His first design for GM was the 1927 LaSalle. His last came out in 1959 after his retirement and was perhaps the most flamboyant Cadillac ever with it's aircraft rudder like fins. (side note: Several European countries actually outlawed the 1959 Cadillac after several bicyclist managed to impale themselves on the fins) Below is what appears to be a drawing of the Earl Automotive Works building at 1320 S. Main St. http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/b/brok...auto_works.jpg from http://www.coachbuilt.com . This building was purchased by the John B. Brokaw Auto & Body Co. in 1922 and operated as a Coach Works until Brokaw's death in 1926. http://s.lnimg.com/photo/poster/5699...8a72d90330.jpg As it appeared when auctioned 10/9/2012 |
