BillinGlendaleCA; That's St. Mary Magdelen in Camarillio. The road the cars are on is US 101.
Dedication of St. Mary Magdalen Church on July 4, 1913... 2532 E. Ventura Blvd....picturesque photo of the faithful gathered at the portal or Porta Sancta of the new House of Worship. http://media.jrn.com/images/666652_3....0_640_480.jpghttps://i1.wp.com/www.beyondtheacorn...size=600%2C360 http://media.jrn.com/images/666652_3....0_640_480.jpg |

I thought I'd do a "then and now" aerial comparison of the St. Mary Magdalen Church location. The first, from 1952, seems to match e_r's picture quite well. I've arrowed where I think the photographer was standing. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original mil.library.ucsb.edu Flight ID: AXI-1952, Frame: 1K-36, Date: December 14, 1952. The 101, as mentioned by BillinGlendaleCA, really changed the layout. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Google Maps |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...Buildings1.jpg Google Maps The other brick/stone building is the Allan Hancock Foundation Building. The Googlemobile can't get close, so I've gone for an aerial again (this time looking east). Older aerial views show a large radio mast on the roof. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...Buildings2.jpg Google Maps |

How about this - the corner of today's Trousdale Parkway and Hellman Way, where VKC Library is now located. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/fX...X=w860-h772-no The building in the center of this 1960 aerial might match. It's two buildings together like the slide (second building of slightly different height at the left edge of the slide). The background building from the perspective of the photo is potentially correct, and the foreground island dividing a street is also a match. What say you? |

As I go through my recently found cache of photos I took from 1983-1985, I keep an eye out for items which conceivably could be of interest to NLA.
Here, remarkably coincidentally, is a picture of a Conure eating fruit on one of my Catalina Cherry trees. It happens to be widely acknowledged as the world's worst photo of a Conure. https://s26.postimg.org/qm7pnytdl/Conure_L.jpg odinthor collection, embarrassment division. Not to be outdone, about the same time I took the world's worst photo of Burbank Studios: https://s26.postimg.org/ab7lroyw9/BurbankL.jpg odinthor collection, embarrassment division. Diversifying my talents, I then went to Santa Monica and took the world's least interesting picture of the corner of a building: https://s26.postimg.org/xco6xgtex/StaMon4L.jpg odinthor collection, embarrassment division. All of this was very tiring, so I stayed in Santa Monica and took some nicer pix: https://s26.postimg.org/anyzxwjqx/StaMon1L.jpg odinthor collection. https://s26.postimg.org/bq96ggppl/StaMon2L.jpg odinthor collection. And I leave you with this kind Santa Monican gastronomic invitation: https://s26.postimg.org/ith1w3xq1/EatedL.jpg odinthor collection. |

The photograph below shows the north side of the Hancock Foundation Building facing Childs Way. "Merrell Gage bas reliefs, photographed in 1958." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/9FXnyz.jpg publicartinla The large bas reliefs depict animal discoveries at the La Brea Tar Pits. The reliefs are still there, but rather difficult to see because of the trees. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/HfGS8o.jpg gsv (the google-obile stopped at this point so I couldn't get any closer) Hancock, an avid naturalist, constructed the building to provide facilities for zoological and botanical research, which included six levels of fireproof storage for specimens. He also installed a telescope...which I believe is still visible on the roof. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/ICmpIp.jpg gsv And as a friendly reminder and a f.y.i. to newcomers: The Hancock Foundation Building also contains four rooms preserved from the Hancock family mansion that was once located on the northeast corner Wilshire & Vermont. Here's a sampling https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/Ihmkg5.jpg bigorangelandmarks https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/AMfi88.jpg bigorangelandmarks always amazed by these rooms! The rooms are in the southeast wing of the Hancock Foundation Building, which serves as a museum and memorial to Hancock's mother. (we covered the mansion and the rooms earlier in the thread) __ |
I just noticed something.
Any idea what the tower was for on the roof of the Hancock Building? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/9FXnyz.jpg Here's another view that includes the tower. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/y4dHf0.jpg usc insidesocial I just rechecked Google Earth...the tower is no longer there. __ |
:previous: It's the tower for the KUSC radio antenna, built in 1946.

but I'm not sure if it has that wedged corner that you see in the 1949 slide. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/sOboqf.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/favqFb.jpg it could be there in your aerial, but it's just a bit too blurry to be 100% sure. __ |

Here, above the lower left corner, is an angled view of the same building. If you zoom in at the link, you can see the building's wedged corner, plus the window pattern seems to match, as does the building behind: Quote:

Thanks for the follow-ups on the mystery pic WS1911....BillinGlendaleCA....and CityBoyDoug.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/O4xKo8.jpg with your help I now know the photo is an image from a 'book'...you can read the caption below. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/uWXi2n.jpgno mention of Camarillo though i.pinimg & for some reason, this large church is called a chapel :shrug:. The actual St. Mary Magdalene Church is located at 25 N Las Posas Rd, Camarillo. The large St. Mary Magdalene Chapel was built as a private place of worship for the Camarillo family [1914]. That might be why it's considered a chapel. Here is a look inside the beautiful chapel. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/r63JwB.jpg yelp Quote:

A helicopter made a forced landing on the USC campus Saturday morning after the pilot, blinded by the sun, clipped a radio tower and hit a tree, police said. No one was injured. The pilot of the Sikorsky chopper suffered only a cut on the nose, and a passenger escaped injury when the craft came to rest in an intersection on the campus at about 7:30 a.m., Lt. Tom Runyen said. Neither was immediately identified. Part of the helicopter's rotor was sheared off when the craft hit KUSC-FM's radio tower, Runyen said. Metal debris and pieces of a tree hit the walls of a nearby dorm and scattered over several blocks. May 1, 1987 |
