More Venice part II Culver City, City of Certainty? Lorelei Avenue (18th Avenue(?)

Thanks DViator.....you see my point. I bet the neighbors are very concerned about the value of their homes with this strange new build. Neighborhood zoning ordinances are always concerned about such things as the color of houses in a district. But even more so when it comes to the actual design. Try painting your house bright fire-engine red and see what happens. In my neighborhood I've seen 4 houses being repainted immediately because people did not paint their house a compatible color [many nearby residents complained]. People go to the paint store and look at a postage stamp size color sample and get all confused. Then they buy 10 gallons of some horrid color. |

Thanks for the follow-ups Hoss and t2. Here's a rather sweet one. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/922/lae2Ck.jpgebay A mother with her young son, Long Beach 1940s(?) __ |
I have nothing pithy or witty to add here, my desire is only to get my number of posts to a round but fairly pitiful '30'. I am nowhere near where you veterans of this thread have achieved--thousands of posts over many years' time--nor will I ever be as my interests lay narrowly on 77 Sunset Strip memorabilia. But I have long enjoyed scrolling through the old photos and commentary by the many fine participants on this site. I'm in awe of your LA fervor and expertise!
I'm especially drawn to articles and pics from the 50's LA, as that's where I'd most like to be transported if the power could be granted. City of Stars, are you shining down on me...? Anyway, I'll keep plugging along here with my occasional Bailey & Spenser tidbits and continue my enjoyment of the massive LA noirish nostalgia collected here. |
More survivors in Venice?

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/vH...Q=w686-h499-no I was aghast to see the looted items stacked against the house, but, in the interest of fairness, I add the apologia below: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/0W...Q=w299-h168-no https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/kz...Q=w320-h520-no https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Nb...Q=w296-h217-no pacific coast archaeological quarterly,vol 41, #1 http://www.pcas.org/assets/documents...tweb-2_000.pdf However, it would be difficult to overstate the continuing heartache and distress such practices cause. . |
I've got another of those mystery Julius Shulman locations for you today. This is "Job 4055: Allyn E. Morris, Bernbaum Apartments, 1966".
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original The apartments come with a reasonable view. The only clue is the street numbers (1611 and 1613). Did everyone spot the fluffy animal on the balcony? http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original The last shot shows a side view. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute Does anyone know where this building is/was? |

Strong suspicion it is 1613 Silverwood Terrace. Open spaces are now enclosed but the outline is still there. http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/o...b.jpg~originalGoogleSVU |

Huntington Digital Collection has this photo dated 1882, Rust residence on Monterey Rd. Is this the same house? The hills in the background look larger than the area's topography.....perhaps the zoom lens has magnified the Monterey hills, but hard to tell. The siding looks similar, though. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4162/3...e220711f_b.jpg |

matches both photos; there's a stove pipe over the door at left in both photos; the windows on either side of that door match; and there's a porch on the right side of the house in both photos, although it's screened in below: Quote:
I think the 1882 photo was taken looking south or southwest. The hills in the background seem to match up OK. I think the little "pocket canyon" to the left of the house in the 1882 photo is the same area that's above and to the right of the football field below: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...z.jpg~original Google Earth |
HN Rust

Yes, extraordinary find ScottyB. How amazing to see the Rust home not draped in plants. Is that the beginning of the rose bush near the left door? And odinthor, what is that sapling with the enormous leaves? ETA, No roses e_r, but this splendid cedar tree may date from Rust's time. It would have been in his side yard: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/qe...Q=w658-h581-no gsv |

ETA, I've seen the Stewart house described as the second-oldest wood-frame building in LA. Does anyone know the oldest one? . |

them outside and unprotected, as Mr. Rust chose to do. Even in the 1800s people should have had more sense than that. This photo was taken somewhere in the Baldwin Hills on April 24, 1931. "Mr. Repp is seen here with the rewards of two hours laborious excavating. This collection includes stone bowls, metates, pounders, heating stones and miscellaneous relics recovered at a depth of seven feet." http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...z.jpg~original 00071902 at LAPL That's Edward Earl Repp (1901-79), who wrote short stories and screenplays. In 1931 he lived on Field Avenue, just north of Jefferson Blvd., where Dorsey High School is now. I wonder what happened to the artifacts he collected? |

Thanks for finding today's Julius Shulman location, BifRayRock. I knew that Allyn E Morris designed several buildings around the Silver Lake area, but my searches failed to find the Bernbaum Apartments. Here's the view from the road below (Easterly Terrace).
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original GSV DViator, I entirely agree that the apartments deserve to be restored. |
