I like their Victorian Revival taste in depots, but there is no mention of it in this interesting history of the property--a good number of pics: https://patch.com/california/northri...woodda41391a4a Have we seen this house before on NLA?? There are loads of other pics via google https://i.postimg.cc/qgV9ptV4/NRMAPNEW1-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/VNZsmF7w/nrmapinside-UT-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/XJ5RmKmQ/nrnewm...LUTTTT-bmp.jpg |

'mystery' barn / 'mystery' people
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/8dUgTO.jpg EBAY I don't believe the building is an actual barn but I don't know how else to describe it. It almost looks like a crib..but it isn't that either. :shrug: I have NO idea why there are barrels on the roof...and I'm especially intrigued by the flag. I'm hoping one of you sleuths can make out what it says on the flag. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/5PbWG7.jpg DETAIL REVERSE https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/4zKBiv.jpg for search purposes: Howland & Chadwick, 211 South Main St. Opposite Cathedral, Los Angeles California and this was penciled on the reverse. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/Ty3S25.jpg |

Brilliant sleuthing indeed ... really ethereal. :worship: But that sure was a long old walk to their front doors from Minnesota for Barbara and Zeppo when they hopped off the train. :D |

A sampler has to with mining-- where ore was inspected for quality and a price determined. So I think the flag might say "Free Ore [testing]" or something like that. I guess the barrels store water for washing down the samples?? |
Interesting but where exactly was this located?
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/ouCQfs.jpg I do not see it in any old photos. Maybe I missed it. |
It's a joke.

Here's an interesting Los Angeles snapshot from the 'flapper' era. [1928]
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/Fftv2i.jpg Ebay "DORTHY DEAN. A young flame of mine."....note the O was left out of Dorothy. I located a couple of clues. UCLA Register 1928-1929 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/9wWNLH.jpg UCLA and in the 1937 city directory. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/ooNw6j.jpg lapl SIDENOTE:.... LLoyd Bridges married a Dorothy Dean that appeared in the 1921 film 'Finders Keepers'. ....IMDB Could she be the Dorothy Dean that appears in the snapshot? :shrug: |

No...they didn't just brew crappy beer. They also brewed crappy malt liquor and crappy draft beer.
