:previous: Hoss, I believe you're right..this is the Garden of Allah model.

By 1967, the base beneath the plexiglass 'box' has been turned into an inverted pyramid, and the plexiglass 'box' is shaped like a pyramid as well.

Ok folks, I just found the video again. It differs from another Sunset Blvd video (also from 1967) that we've previously seen on NLA.
(hmmmm...maybe we've seen this one too....I'm not sure)

Here's the link.

One of the comments for this song mentions the Sunset Strip video:

"You Got It (I Want It)" by Bob Candee

• Video Link

Another comment claims to be from Bob's brother, and says that it was recorded around 1961. However, two other sources I found give the date as 1970 and 1971, which is a few years after the Sunset Strip video.

:previous: Good find Hoss.

boy, there isn't much on the internet about Bob Candee. I couldn't even find a photograph of him.

I just found out today that one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars is still living.

This 1873 map demarcates the Hebrew Cemetery (without any obvious streets) and other Eastern LA points of interest, including "Cavitt's Distillery." Seems as though an appropriate address could have been "Eternity Street" except that name was already taken. :rolleyes: Despite Cavitt's reference on this map, very little seems available or remembered of this would-be business. (There is vintage glassware available with Cavitt's Topeka KS, but the relationship, if any, is unknown.)

LAPast posits this as Ducommon street. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=9225 FWIW, the below Calisphere source labels the image: :"Old buildings at N. Alameda and Commercial Sts., looking towards 612 N Alameda" :shrug: The image, is part of a large image collection devoted or related to "Pneumonic Plague Outbreak Sites and Rats in Los Angeles." https://calisphere.org/collections/17324/ The images are presumably from 1924-25. (There are likely other images covering the same or similar subject matter or variations of the same from other repositories, e.g., LAPL)

Rats and plague are no strangers to NLA. ER posted images from this collection as have others, for example: http://skyscraperpage.com/forum/show...ostcount=11153 Many of the previous NLA posted rat-related images are part of this collection. Some not. It is also unclear what some of the images have to do with the subject other than the general date and perhaps being in the periphery, e.g., the Grand Central Market? Here's a sm[r]attering, in no particular order. Yes, we have seen some before.

Back alleys, lack of sanitation and multiple areas of disease. It was a good thing I already ate my dinner tonight. Most interesting panorama of the back side of Los Angeles.

I posted a couple of these images at the end of 2014 when they turned up on eBay. It looks like this collection comes with more accurate descriptions than the seller provided, and gives much better depth to the subject.

Here's a map I posted to help locate the picture above. The full post is here.

The "Mule & Horse Markets" appear on the 1921 Baist map.

Nice series of photos, HossC. In the one above, I'm assuming that's a TV set on the right? (There were some others in odd positioning in the photos you linked to.) If it's not, though, I'd be interested in what it is.

Thanks for the post!

HossC, in the post of mine that you linked to in yours, I had quoted a person who was commenting about the artwork in and around the Lytton Bank, who wrote:

"In 1962, a 75 foot-long photo mural on the history of motion pictures was also installed
in the bank complex, in what was then called the Lytton Center of the Visual Arts. It would
be interesting to know if the mural is there but covered up somewhere."

In this photo that E_R posted...

...you can see the words "Lytton Center..." in the building in the background which appears to be where there is a strip of fast food places currently. I am wondering what exactly this building (The Lytton Center of the Visual Arts) was. The references I've found about it all keep saying that Lytton created the "Lytton Center of the Visual Arts" in one of his bank buildings, but the Shulman photos and others don't seem to suggest the bank itself was this exact place, though there obviously was artwork involved in it. The above photo is the first indication I've had it was a separate building along the back of the property where said fast food places (mostly) are currently housed.

There's a photo HERE that shows Leslie Caron and Warren Beatty at a party at the Center given by Richard Burton in October of 1964.

A newspaper announcement from 1965:
http://colemanzone.com/images%283%29...e_19650712.jpgfrom Russ Karas

This photo is from an event at the center in 1968.
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5czh3ndBxE...Arts,+1968.jpgArt Lynch
Pictured are Ray Harryhausen, Ray Bradbury, Forry Ackerman & Mrs. Harryhausen.

Several sources have contradictory notations about the Lytton Center, saying it was IN the bank building on the first floor, another the second floor and similar, but the book Stardust Monuments: The Saving and Selling of Hollywood by Alison Trope, probably has the best information: (page 69)

In June 1962, Bart Lytton opened the one million dollar Lytton Center of the Visual Arts. [He had purchased a collection of pre-cinema artifacts in 1961 that were to be a donation to the Hollywood Motion Picture Museum that was being planned at the time.] He decided to display them beforehand in the Lytton Center. In many ways, the Lytton Center proved to be a miniature version of the proposed Hollywood Museum, offering exhibitions of priceless artifacts and production processes; a theatre for audiences that screened canonized works of film and television; roundtable discussions with Hollywood crafts people; a library; and a photomural of films and stars. [This is what a commenter mentioned in my previous quote above.]

Information about Bart Lytton shows a complicated man, verging on the noir and complicated by his varied, and often failed, ambitions.

The above description of the Lytton Center would indicate a separate building from the bank at Sunset and Crescent Heights, but I've not as yet found any specific photos of it. HossC, do any of the aerials show such a structure? It has to have been demolished, because the various places in that location currently could not have been incorporated into any previously exisiting building as far as I could tell.

Who knew this Center was there?! It's the first I was aware of it. Sounds pretty grand and a shame it folded, especially seeing that the Hollywood Museum did as well.

There's some overlap between the color and black & white images in this Julius shulman set, so I've picked some of each. This is "Job 5585: Adrian Wilson and Associates, Criminal Courts Building (Los Angeles, Calif.),1978".

Here's the building with City Hall.

From a lower angle, Mr Shulman was able to frame the DWP Building in an arch.

The building hasn't changed much since 1978, so I'm not posting a "now" image.

I posted many of the plague photographs back in 2010, starting with this one of 'Ground Zero'.

and I followed up with this post.



So many interesting detail I had forgotten all about. Thanks for the reminder BifRayRock.

Boyertown Burial Casket Company @ 1124 W. Washington Blvd.
 

MR, given the commercial signs we can read in your mystery photo, my guess is it looks east on Washington Blvd. from about Burlington:
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...u.jpg~original
1932 LACD @ LAPL -- http://rescarta.lapl.org/ResCarta-We..._doc=Boyertown

The building east of the casket company might still exist, but it doesn't look the same. The other buildings on the right side of the street are gone.

P.S. Your post was much more thorough, Hoss.

:previous:

Beaten to it by Flyingwedge!

This is indeed the 1100 block of West Washington Boulevard. From the 1932 CD, the drug store with the blade sign belonged to Sol Finkelstein (it was 1102 W Washington Blvd). Nearer the camera are the Boyertown Burial Casket Co at 1124 W Washington Blvd and the Dresslar Hardware Co at 1130 W Washington Blvd. In between there's a dressmaker, a grocer and an apartment building. It looks like all of these buildings were still standing in 1980, but mostly gone by 1994. Today you'll just find a parking lot.

This is the 1980 view. Notice how the buildings survived the freeway construction (they're immediately above the freeway in the center).

The location is very close to the CHP building - I wonder if these buildings ever appeared in 'CHiPs'. I'll have to look ;).
