below: See that large building in the background on the right? http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...nSignShop2.jpg eBay[/QUOTE] http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/25cVkp.jpg gsv It looks like it might have been a large auditorium of some sort? An intriguing building to say the least. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/61w9zc.jpg google_earth Here it is in relation to the old sign shop location. _ |
I don't believe we have seen this amazing photograph on nla.
The description is somewhat vague on calisphere. "California Bank Building and view of street." http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/7ADO3B.jpg https://calisphere.org/item/ark:/13030/tf0b69n8cj/ I believe we're looking up 2nd Street from Fort (now Broadway) This photograph of the California Bank Building was posted back in 2009. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/YuEWV2.jpg http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...&postcount=681 |
I find this 'postcard' photograph quite intriguing.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/N8HDw4.jpg ebay The man holding the large fish, the obedient dog (cute!) and the stone thingy (I thought it was a water trough for horses) -then realized there's no place for water On the reverse http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/BcSO7W.jpg The seller added who's who in the Eiss family. (and that Daniel was a doctor) Dr. Daniel Eiss, Rosa Eiss (Wife) and Zula Eiss (Daughter) They also added that Zula Eiss (Bradley) died in the Los Angeles area. __ Here's a closer look. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/Ss4os4.jpg detail Oh to hear the story about that big fish. ;) __ |

https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4230/3...5ca959af_b.jpg I'm curious about the business on the NE corner- perhaps a real estate office? Can't quite make out what the sign above the front says. And is the banner hanging from the church (which church is that?) behind in a foreign alphabet or an ornate script? Or both? https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4287/3...cfbf3cd6_b.jpg |

posting it. We determined it was taken sometime in 1888, and yes it is remarkable! This what I see: below the red line = Wills home; yellow line = Baker carriage house; green line = Mary Banning home; purple line = Hancock Banning home @ 416 N. Broadway; above the orange line is the Mary Banning stable/carriage house: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psabnhbh5i.jpg Enlargement of CHS.J3927 at Denver Public Library Here's the 1888 Sanborn, which seems to match the photo pretty well. Neither 418-20 nor 426 N. Broadway are on the map, and I don't see them in the photo: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...pshjhuhdbq.jpg 1888 Sanborn Map @ ProQuest via LAPL Although Milo Baker is listed at the SW [sic?] corner of Fort and Rock in the 1888 city directory, maybe the Baker home was being built when the 1888 photo was taken? Otherwise, I think we'd see it, as we do below at center. The 1888 photo seems to show that the pointy-towered Baker carriage house, to the left of the home, was built first (I've marked the three buildings from the other photo with their same color): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psjcr37erm.jpg LAPL 00061421 previously posted by me The 1906 Sanborn's depiction of the north side of Fort Moore Place (formerly Rock Street) seems to match the photo above: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5jjkxwia.jpg ProQuest via LAPL _________________________________ Quote:

This is such a nice image, I just wish it wasn't quite so murky and washed out. The high school building is easy enough to be made out in the full sized version and the absence of the third high school building (brick structure with the clock tower) hasn't begun to go up yet, helps with the dating. If you look closely in your detail image, and are a bit persistent, you can make out the J.W. Robinson Mansion (1887) lurking in the haze. If you follow the fence line that sits atop the cliff running west away from Mary Hollister Banning's carriage house it (the light colored fence) runs into the Robinson Mansion (a darkish structure with a light colored beltline at the eaves). While it addressed on Teed Street, Teed 'Street' was never an actual street but more just a set-aside on maps of the period and here it appears as little more than a fence line below the mansion. Access to the house was from Hill Street. Fun image. |
Just for a change, a house from Julius Shulman that's not in Beverly Hills! This is "Job 2419: Jones and Emmons, Reicher House, 1957".

For one: I didn't realize there was a stamp on the reverse of the photograph. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...924/fHaNBL.jpg detail So the program was part of the Resettlement Administration. And much to my surprise, the photograph was taken by Dorothea Lange. -here's some additional info: "The self-help cooperative, Burbank, California. Organized August 1934. Now has seventy-six active members and is fairly successful. Have applied to the Resettlement Administration for a loan. Have farm of one hundred eighty acres, and supply vegetables to members. Also, the dairy yields 120 gallons of milk daily. Sixty-five cows." A few more photographs. picking up supplies.

More signs by the Park Sign Shop.
I image this is advertising for the same place even though one says Ray's Beer Parlor and the other says Ray's Cafe. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/xaqeUB.jpg ebay At first I thought this was a billboard, but it's actually the back of the building. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/7E2B5k.jpg ebay |
This photo is very similar to two that were posted yesterday, but it shows more of the garage next door. (part of the sign shop?)
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/j6SoVS.jpg ebay Martin, note that Charlie is still holding the '69'. (maybe he's an apprentice and that's his first sign) or maybe he's looking for a date _ |
(my first thought that it was a water trough doesn't hold water) ;)

usually they look like this / http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320...924/GGKzre.jpg Thanks for the information on the Eiss family oldstuff. I appreciate it. I agree that the home in the postcard might be the Eiss' summer home. __ |
