I believe this kodachrome photograph of Tiny Naylor's is new to NLA, but I could be wrong.

Burlington Apartments @ 1723 W. James M. Wood Blvd.
Quote:
The above photo was taken April 13, 1959, and shows the Burlington Apts. at the NE corner of Burlington and James M. Wood Blvd. (then called 9th St.). The columns at the entrance are still there, behind the security bars: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...p.jpg~original http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...3.jpg~original Both Jan 2017 GSV There was an earlier post on the Burlington, but all the images are gone. Here's the Burlington in a 1915 advertisement. It's unfortunate that the porch along Burlington hasn't survived: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...n.jpg~original Internet Archive The lobby, from the same advertisement: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...m.jpg~original Internet Archive This fairly recent photo might show the remodeled lobby from the opposite direction: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...c.jpg~original Commercialsearch.com The Burlington was built during 1906-07. The article below also appears in the January 6, 1907, LA Herald, where there's an illustration of what the building will look like, but it doesn't show very well: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...y.jpg~original December 16, 1906, LA Times @ ProQuest via LAPL I don't know if the Burlington had opened yet when this occurred (Murphey [sic] is listed as the building's owner in the previous article): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...h.jpg~original June 16, 1907, LA Times @ ProQuest via LAPL Anyway, that brings us back to e_r's photo and the April 14, 1959, LA Times: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...9.jpg~original ProQuest via LAPL Either the building got uncondemmed, or that part of the story was wrong. There is a pre-fire, March 2, 1959, building permit for a parapet correction at 1723 W. 9th. Here's the April 27, 1959, BP for the fire damage (there are also BPs dated May 11, 1959, to "replace roof and ceiling on approx 80% of roof area," and July 21, 1959, for "framing around elevator openings and penthouse"): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...d.jpg~original LADBS |

I'm only posting this photo again because I'd really like some NLA folks opinion as to whether this photo is depicting snow
or slush or the like and maybe the year of the photo. (Do the automobiles help?) Quote:
Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood... We've seen them in Hollywood (La Brea, Hollywood & Vine), and the downtown environs, the Cahuenga Pass and across the valley area. |
It must be a week or so since I posted Julius Shulman pictures of a house in Beverly Hills. This one is "Job 6131: Buff & Hensman, 1455 Claridge Drive House (Beverly Hills, Calif.), 1983". I wish there was more than just this single shot.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Getty Research Institute The house is nearly at the end of the street, and now has neighbors. I think I preferred the original severe look before the trees grew in and the garage doors were replaced. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original GSV Here's a better look at the addition over the garage on the right. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original GSV I found a few small interior pictures at realtor.com. They also show a modest pool and pretty good view (the house is on the side of the hill). |
About my post above.
I checked all the "snow" posts I could find on NLA to make sure my thoughts about where we've seen snow photos were correct. While doing so I remembered seeing a photo of UCLA in the snow. It was on this post, but missing now: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=6635 That occurred on January 15, 1932...could the photo I'm curious about be 1932? The car on the bottom might not suggest that. This is a page from UCLA's 1932 yearbook: https://alumni.gseis.ucla.edu/assets...w-at-ucla3.jpgUCLA Alumni Netowrk |
Re: Melrose Triangle photo:
Martin, it looks more like simple overexposure to me. If it had snowed, I would expect some to be on the unheated canopy of the gas station. Just IMHO. Cheers, Earl |

I traced the photo to Mary Austin & Scott on Flickr. It's dated 1943, and there's no mention of snow in the description. While I can see that the lighter areas look like they could be snow, the lack of any visible snow in the park or on the roofs (as mentioned by Earl) makes me doubt that theory. Quote:

Earl and HossC, thanks for your opinions on the photo. For what it's worth, a couple other people I've asked about this photo think it is snow. :shrug:
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...646a3432a8.png A couple things for argument's sake, what is making the marks in the road that cars have traveled over. There's definitely some reason for the dark areas where the tires have driven over and the light areas that weren't. Also, look at where the P.E. tracks are below the car that's at center left. Doesn't that look like something, whatever it is, is pushed out into the road? |

Are there any plans for a survey of our historic resources? I didn't know the Burlington was an AL Haley. I'm always so disappointed that PCAD , the Conservancy, etc list so view examples on their architects pages. I good place to start would be cross-referencing the online permits by architect and owner. I know, I'm dreaming. . |

This is a somewhat puzzling picture. The long shadow at A indicates the picture was taken in early morning or late afternoon -- somebody who knows the east/west alignment of the street would have to answer that. If morning, the chances of it being light snow or heavy frost are increased. If frost, the difference at B could be a joint between two road materials (e.g., concrete and macadam) with different thermal characteristics. On the other hand, there does not appear to be any snow/frost on the cars in the picture or the roof of the gas station. The real puzzle lies in the shadows at C, which do not appear to be consistent with the one at A. Curious. Can anybody figure out where the photographer was standing? Cheers, Earl |
