The Shakarian family came under the influence of the Pentecostal movement and relocated to Downey, California and began a dairy business.

The dairy was located at the corner of Woodruff and Imperial Highway. __ |

Not too bad an example of façadomy, I suppose (or, as it's also called. façadism). I think we've seen several examples here on NLA over the years. A controversial practice that reduces good architecture to kitsch or Disney fakeness, the remnant saved more to appease the few (like us) who care or even notice. I'd guess though that the tenants in the apartments above this one could care less. I don't know about LA, but this kind of thing is happening behind the brownstone and rowhouse façades of many buildings in NYC--unreinforced masonry structures rebuilt with steel etc-- and there are dozens of examples in New Orleans, where rather than renovate 100-150 y.o. houses it's usually cheaper to keep the fronts and rebuild them completely rearward. I'm in favor it when it preserves scale of the street, despite the often "dead-eye" look of the result. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Wc...Q=w779-h685-no Speaking of façadomy... it's been a long tradition....... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/xM...=w1261-h193-no |

Back in 2012, GW posted an excellent photograph of 'The Track' Motormat.
http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=7923 I happened upon a second photograph a week or so ago on ebay. I could be wrong, but I believe this one is a different location. (there were three motormats in the L.A. area, right?) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...921/H6IY2S.jpg The 'Track Motormat' sign is partially hidden in front of the third car from the left (see detail below) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...922/qmmyFq.jpg detail Here's a closer look at the posters advertising a rodeo (Gene Autry!) and a football game (Rams vs Redskins) at the L.A.

I've got another mystery location for today's Julius Shulman post. It's "Job 5333: Heyman House (Beverly Hills, Calif.), 1976". Here's a selection. The clews from this shot are the street number, 1035, and the stop sign at the far left, which indicates it's near the end of a street.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original The house is built on a slope, with the ground higher at the rear. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original The living area. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original One of the smaller rooms. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original You can see the roof of this hallway in the first image. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute There's also a second set of three images from Julius Shulman's visit a year earlier. It's "Job 5212: Heyman House (Beverly Hills, Calif.), 1975". The two exterior shots show the newly finished building surrounded by scrappy grass. The third image (below) shows the living space without furniture. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original Getty Research Institute I've spent quite a while hovering around Beverly Hills on Google Maps, but failed to spot the house. Does anyone recognize it and know if it's still standing? |

Kilgallen was one sharp individual. The only time I saw her flummoxed was on "What's My Line." Andy Griffith was the mystery guest (the panel was blindfolded, if you've never seen the show) and was then the toast of NYC for playing the hick in "No Time For Sergeants" on B'way.
Anyhow, Griffith answered all the questions in a perfect Oxbridge accent. The panel went down in straight sets, a rarity for that bunch. And if you haven't seen Griffith in "A Face in the Crowd," do so immediately :-) Cheers, Earl |
:previous:
I think this might be the What's My Line episode you're talking about. Skip to 16:00 to see Andy sign in. They guessed him very quickly in 1958 and 1959! |
