Here's the original of the image that e_r found on waterandpower.org. LAPL date it as "early 1870's". http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...CapeHouse1.jpg LAPL I've enlarged the restaurant building - the words "Cape House Restaurant" can be seen on the sign. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...CapeHouse2.jpg Detail of picture above. |

Here's that Main Street cactus tree again, this time looking in the opposite direction!.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/631/V1MyYX.jpg ebay -here's my post from a few days ago with the same cactus tree, & info on the Round House School. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=23210 __ |
I have no problem with the occasional repost of older images. It's difficult to sift through 932 (!) pages to illustrate a point.

I agree Lwize. I think you read my post wrong. I was referring to two separate images of the same tree, one looking north...one looking south.

HossC, I meant to thank you for the additional information you dug up about the nightclub Bal-Tabarin.

I was hoping that USC might have a zoomable picture that included the Cape House Restaurant above the Plaza. I'm still looking for one from a similar angle to the LAPL picture, but I did find one which shows the rear of the restaurant - it's roughly in the center of the foreground. USC date this picture at circa 1876.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...APlaza1876.jpg USC Digital Library USC also have a drawing of virtually the same scene which claims to be from "about 1876". The caption says it's "From the Historical Collection of Title Insurance and Trust Company". Being a drawing, it actually seems to be sharper than the photo above, so I've used it for the close-up below. Does anyone know what the small raised structure is above the roofs at the rear of the restaurant? It looks like it could only be reached by a ladder http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...Plaza1876b.jpg Detail of photo at USC Digital Library ------------ Quote:

I was hoping I could find out more information on the Cape House Restaurant, but I kept coming up with nothing.
-But I did find this: In this article from the April 30, 1881 Daily Herald the Cape House is briefly referred to as Moiso's Mansion. (I'm also curious about the windmill that's mentioned several times in the court proceedings) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/674/146o5L.jpg for the complete article about the Abarta trial go here http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lc...arRange&page=1 ...I also found this earlier article of a real estate transaction from March 30, 1875. -but I'm not sure if this is the same property as the Cape House. -refresh my memory...did Bellevue Terrace eventually become New High Street? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/539/rBEWEE.jpg http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lc...arRange&page=1 __ |

I believe Bellevue Terrace Tract is what's being referred to here. I don't remember Bellevue Terrace ever being a street. The Bellevue Terrace Hotel was on the NW corner of 6th and Figueroa ultimately supplanted by the Jonathan Club. The Bellevue Terrace Tract was north of 6th Street and stretched from Beaudry on the west to Olive on the east. It's northern boundary ran at an angle passing just north of the Normal School and ending just south of 4th and Olive. Block 101 of the Bellevue Terrace Tract would have been bounded by Olive, Charity (Grand), 6th and 5th Streets. The same block which would later host the Biltmore. |

Thanks for that. I do remember you posting that method but ironically when I went to search for it, I couldn't find it. I had "site:..." hadn't been putting "noirish" in my search term. |
Multiple Photo postings in quoted discussions
Quote:
As most users are aware the site search function leaves a bit to be desired. HossC posted a workaround as noted above, in post #19611, but there is another issue. Long posts with multiple photos use up much more bandwidth than long posts comprised of mostly text with only one or two photos. I do not know who is paying for NLA but I would have to guess that the costs have to be adding up as re-posts of numerous previously posted photos contribute to a need for additional bandwidth . Referencing the original post number while deleting the photo links of any photos not being discussed would save a great deal of bandwidth while proving a quick access to the photos on the original post. Cheers, Jack |

I think some people might be put off editing quotes in case it goes wrong. I was thinking of putting together a little tutorial (does anyone want one?), but there are only a couple of simple rules to follow. Please leave the start that says something like: http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...A/LAQuote1.jpg and also the end bit that says: http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...A/LAQuote2.jpg I've seen quite a few posts recently where the latter has been missing. If you leave both in place (or add them back afterwards - it's never too late), the little blue and white arrow will appear next to the original poster's name at the top of the quote. This arrow is a direct link back to the original post. It will look something like this: http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...A/LAQuote3.jpg Then use the captions to work out which unnecessary images can be deleted from the quote. If you're unsure of how your edits will look, make use of the "Preview Post" button before you submit the new post. You can always re-edit or start again! |
:previous: -good tutorial.
Here's LASD station #4, later Norwalk Station. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/908/RyPnv8.jpg www.badgehistory.com Looks like they were just using a house at this point in time. __ |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...CapeHouse3.jpg LAPL When I searched the CDs for "Moiso", I found J Moiso & Co, a grocers at 112 Main, in the 1875 edition. By 1878, the store had moved to Spring near 1st with the owner living on 7th between Olive and Charity. It looks like 112 Main became a restaurant. Moving on to the 1881/82 CD, and there's a listing for James Moiso residing at 95 New High. Several other people are also listed as living at 95 New High, but the only mention of Moiso Mansion is as the residence of a builder, but no address is given. Moiso Mansion first gets its own listing in the 1883/84 CD. It has James Moiso listed as proprietor, with several other residents also being included. The address has become more vague, simply being listed as New High bet[ween] Temple and Short. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...A/LAMoiso1.jpg LAPL The 1886/87 CD gives the address of Moiso Mansion as 217 New High, and that seems to be the final listing. I couldn't find any reference to Moiso in the 1894 CD, but the 1898 CD lists James Moiso living at 642 N Hill along with Frank, Lena and Lola Moiso. It also lists the Moiso Block at 126 N Spring. I guessing they're connected, but don't have any evidence. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...A/LAMoiso2.jpg LAPL Here's the Moiso Block, next to the Larronde Building, on the 1910 Baist map. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...A/LAMoiso3.jpg www.historicmapworks.com This is the only picture I've found so far that shows the Moiso Block. It's the third building from the right, and has a sign which I think says "Corona Blanca". The picture is titled "La Fiesta de Las Flores parade down Spring Street, looking north, 1903". http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...A/LAMoiso4.jpg USC Digital Library |
