Harris Dickerman, in 1925, built the eponymous and semi-eponymous Harris and Dickshire, using Arlos R. Sedgley as architect for both. Check out some Sedgley houses here including Dickerman's gorgeous home in Hancock Park. |
Were the U and N Car lines referring to the Red/Yellow car routes?

By the time I came along in 1960, my parents had moved the family to Anaheim. I was baptized in St. Michael's Episcopal in Anaheim, an equally historic church built in 1876 in the New England Gothic style. It's still there! |
Just listed on eBay.
Here's a remarkable postcard of "Highland Park showing N. Figueroa and 57th St. in 1916." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/9yT7Kx.jpg ASKING:...$125.00 Let's take a closer look. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/u8SU75.jpg We've seen the impressive buildings down the street (shown at the bottom of this post) but I don't recall the unique building on the right with the thick brick columns. I thought the building might have a portico/entrance (right edge of the pic) for automobiles but as you can see there's no cut in the curb. Does anyone recognize this building? As promised: The buildings down the street. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/Bo3Pw4.jpg[/URL] LAPL "Pasadena Avenue (later North Figueroa Street) in Highland Park. The Sunbeam Theater is on the left, and Highland Park Herald newspaper office and Bank of Highland Park on the right." |
When I first saw this Kodachrome 35mm slide I thought the name of the movie was some sort of a joke. . .perhaps a rather surreal 'play on words' for The Last Days of Pompeii. [1959]
Grauman's Chinese Theater, Hollywood California..... https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/2GnGDr.jpgeBay But I was wrong, The View from Pompey's Head is an actual movie made in 1955. :duh Am I the only one who's never heard of this movie? . |
Here's another arrival on eBay.
Seller's description:...."CA California Hollywood Los Angeles City Town Aerial View 35 MM Slide Photo" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/ljKE4I.jpg eBay 'mystery' vantage point. I thought it might be fun to try and figure out where the photographer was located when he (or SHE) took this pic. of Hollywood. [late 1940s or early 1950s] . |
Quote:
I assume that the building with the "IVAR" is on Ivar street, and the bend is located between Selma and Sunset, so this photographer is likely on a building at Hollywood & Vine, looking SW. |

Not the only one, I've never heard of it, either! This film played at the Chinese Theatre for 6 weeks, Friday, November 4 to Thursday, December 15, 1955. The film starred Richard Egan and Dana Wynter. She won a Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer for this film! Coincidentally, I just watched an episode of 12 O'Clock High last night which guest starred the actress. |

Noticing the Dickshire and Harris buildings have been earthquake retrofitted. One did a better job than the other in an aesthetic sense. The Dickshire name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. (Nor does Engadine, seen recently, IMO.) |

To me, the building at left has the feel of something adjacent to . . . a beach. Far from Long Beach, the closest I can come would be beyond Santa Monica, just NW of the corner of PCH and Chautauqua: https://i.postimg.cc/h4zh4VH2/NWChau.jpg gsv . . . But there's no building now on the beach side of the street, and what would have been a service station on the other side is now a little plant nursery. But I'm not very convinced that I'm even within shouting distance of being correct . . . (except maybe about "DELI") . . . |

I think you're close, odinthor. I believe we're looking at the corner of the Lighthouse Restaurant in e_r's picture, with Carl's (possibly under construction) in the background. The rocks behind Carl's are a good match. Zoom in at the link below the image - the stonework on the restaurant appears to match up to the left side of the original picture. BTW Going by the menu in e_r's photo, my guess is that the "...LI" is the end of "CHILI". https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...estaurant1.jpg USC Digital Library |

Great work, Hoss! This March 5, 1940, image shows the buildings under construction in e_r's photo look completed and the hillside behind appears to be a match, the small rectangular gas station is there next to the highway, and the Lighthouse Restaurant is just across the road: https://i1165.photobucket.com/albums...pse4qdgyvh.jpg Flight C_6330, Frame 56 at UC Santa Barbara |
