Victorian Fire?
I was on my way to work last month, and on the street where i take my lunch break (bag lunch while sitting in my car) i saw a fire crew race down to this victorian. I watched from my desk for flames but there was nothing. I later found out that the house is vacant and used for training for the two local fire stations. Either way this area has some nice houses that have survived the freeway. I took a series of pictures with the fire crew but during my lunch break i dropped my phone and lost all the pictures except this one. The street is Rosemont.

I was wondering why we had it but then it clicked... usually ahen someone finds a box of Boy Scout related items they just drop it off at our council office, im thinking this guy was a scouter and his family donated this to us. But what was his connection with Mount Lowe? http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps1okwdyk0.jpg I was going to post this on the peryhs but it seems you cant upload to the site. |

It could be that noir figures into every building in LA, even if only obliquely...517 Rosemont was occupied by the brother of Philip A. Kilfoil around the time of the latter's sensational murder trial.... More at http://tinyurl.com/le6a8v5 and much covered elsewhere at the time.... PS Rosemont north of Temple was once called Casco Street--presumably 517 Rosemont was 517 Casco... carpenter Peter Lindquist lived there 1895-96. It looks somewhat older to me, but maybe he built it from a pattern book. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/88...w=w398-h648-no https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Rw...g=w557-h512-no |

Thanks to Flyingwedge and DViator for your replies to yesterday's Shulman post. I actually drove the Googlemobile past that location, but the street number was so far out, I didn't stop to look around.
------------- Today's Julius Shulman post shows another fountain in Beverly Hills, although I'd already chosen this as the next subject before t2 showed us the Doheny Fountain. It's "Job 2959: Pereira & Luckman, Robinson's, fountain (Beverly Hills, Calif.), 1960". http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original There are three images in the set, but two are identical, so I left one out. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Both from Getty Research Institute I recently skipped over a pair of 1951 images of Robinson's under construction. They only show the metal skeleton of the structure, but if anyone's interested, you can see them here. There's also a single image of Robinson's washroom here. |

"1972, Price Waterhouse is dropping off the nominations lists at the AMPAS headquarters, then located in a converted old movie theater building at 9038 Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood. After a brand new, considerably larger headquarters building was built and opened in late 1975 in Beverly Hills on Wilshire Boulevard, the old headquarters building was demolished." The photo is no longer on the post, but I believe it was this one: http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/...ure-id72403895 Do you know when the building was demolished? |

:previous: Thanks oldstuff. I looked for more information on him, but found nothing.

What do you think the guy with the pick-up truck is going to do with all the railroad ties? (looks like he brought his little daughter along to help) __ I hope that little truck has good springs. |

I think it was demolished soon after it was shut down (I guess the neighbors complained; we were parking on the residential streets). With only the conditional permit, the WGA had no hope of saving it. Here it is as the AMPAS theater in '51: http://hollywoodphotographs.com/deta...n-melrose-ave/ And there's this snippet from "Crossroads of the Stars" (More) Los Angeles Movie Palaces Cinema Treasures I'm perplexed that neither of the above links even mention the WGA. I wasn't surprised the AMPAS site didn't, they'd have no reason to. 21st annual Oscars ceremony: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/hz...=w1171-h638-no ej sopas via (more)los angelesmoviepalaces Anyway, it was a lovely place, more clubhouse than anything else. . |
Thanks for locating the Pacific Palisades 'mystery' curve FW, t2 and DViator.
I believe this must be the area where that 'over-look' in the color slide was located. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/XA1gix.jpg lapl via https://www.kcet.org/history-society...unt-washington for comparison http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/3dPVBA.jpg Charles Cushman photo, taken Feb 27, 1952. _ |

Apparently whoever donated that plaque wanted it kept "in the family". |
