Though there is a Studebaker Lark (a '62) partially visible in the vintage image, the Stude near 107 S Rampart is one of the Hawk series. That said, the original 107 was moved to 254 S Carondelet St in 1925 (and demolished in 1960), with 101 then being moved onto its original lot, as BillinGlendaleCA notes. The Craftsman house two over from 107 in the vintage shot (119 S Rampart) was built in 1909; the Spanish-style house (127 S Rampart, rather than 125) was built in 1932. https://i.postimg.cc/kGPrgmGJ/nla-bp2-bmp.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/TYZb2Nqk/nla-bp1-bmp.jpg |

As everyone knows we have seen countless images of Angels Flight but here's one we haven't seen. This original slide captures a beautiful blue Thunderbird passing in front of Royal Liquors. (a vegetarian cafeteria was in this spot back in the 1920s) Seller's description:...."Original Slide 1960's Los Angeles Railway / Thunderbird Car / Policmen" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/alRM47.jpg eBay I thought this was the entire slide until I clicked on the ad. Here's the complete slide. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/GXCIAA.jpg Link If you look closely, there are clues that the slide was taken during Christmas time. (a decorated red pole on left. . .a wreath in the liquor store window) One thing that caught my attention was the sign to the right of the stoplight. The top sign says No Unnecessary Noise. Why would this sign be necessary at this particular spot? :shrug: The other sign is even more intriguing. This is the best enlargement I could muster. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/UNVWtP.jpg detail I believe it says something about EXPLOSIVES! . |

Of all the different styles of streetlights this is my least favorite. ....It's way too extravagant for my taste. I feel the same about the lights that were installed around the Civic Center in the 1970s. (or was it the 1960s?) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/G3q6fv.jpg .................................................................old ER file These lights are gone, right? . |

:previous: That's a very nice image, Bill.
The lights look fine. They match the surroundings. I might have to reevaluate my opinion on the lights. |
