Estrada's Spanish Kitchen, Wilshire Blvd at Ardmore
I scanned this shot of Wilshire Blvd at the corner of Ardmore from a book about Bullock's Wilshire.
The restaurant on the right is called Estrada's Spanish Kitchen. Has anybody come across any other (ie better) photos of it? http://www.martinturnbull.com/wp-con...d-BW-1930s.jpg |

Even though Susan Hayward hopped on the bus at Bunker Hill and 3rd, moments later in the film, the bus rolls past our old friend, The New Grand, (formerly the old Nugent) hotel, at Grand and 3rd, a full block East of where she boarded it.

Waverly Avenue and Hyperion Avenue at a grade separation looking north toward the approach of Glendale-Hyperion Viaduct. (10/11/1927)
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...yAvBridge1.jpg Los Angeles City Historical Society The same view today. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...yAvBridge2.jpg GSV When I first saw the black and white picture above, I assumed that the structure behind the bridge was an oil well. Then I found the picture below. Lange & Bergstrom was the company that constructed the Glendale-Hyperion Viaduct. From what I've read, the planned completion date of May 1928 was pushed back a couple of times. An article on Big Orange Landmarks says that the viaduct wasn't completely finished until the end of February 1929. Glendale-Hyperion Viaduct looking north from the end of Waverly Avenue Bridge. Designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1976, the bridge was designed by Merrill Butler who was the city’s chief bridge engineer during the 1920s and was responsible for construction of most of the city’s historic bridges still standing. The Glendale-Hyperion Viaduct and bridge is 56 ft-wide, and is 1,340 feet long, was completed in 1928 and features a series of thirteen concrete arches. (10/11/1927) http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...yAvBridge3.jpg Los Angeles City Historical Society Here's an closer view of the tower in the middle of the roadway, which probably explains why there's a barrier in the road on the far right of the first picture above. Glendale-Hyperion viaduct, looking northeast on Hyperion Avenue from bridge at Waverly Drive. Lange and Bergstrom construction equipment.

HossC,
Thanks for the Hyperion viaduct photos. For three years in the 1960's, I walked to Marshall High School from Atwater (Village) on that viaduct. Kinda crazy walking that narrow one-person sidewalk in the second photo, with traffic zooming by, but I survived! Andys |

I read a book titled NIGHT OVER WATER by Ken Follet that takes place on this plane. Or similar. Wikipedia info: Night Over Water is a fictionalized account of the final flight of the Pan American Clipper passenger airplane during the first few days of World War II, early September, 1939. Follett is careful to state that, though the flight and all of the characters are fictional the plane, a Boeing 314, was real and was nicknamed the "Pan Am Clipper." ___________ Aquatone! Online I found out that the book on the table is: http://www.yesterdaysgallery.com/pic...dium/24569.jpg SKY GYPSY 25,OOO MILES BY FLYING CLIPPER SHIPS OVER SOUTH AMERICA, CENTRAL AMERICA, MEXICO AND THE CARIBBEAN by Claudia Cranston w/30 illustrations in aquatone (photographs) and 3 maps Published by: J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY Philadelphia – London Copyright 1935, 1936 This version spells it GIPSY: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...4,203,200_.jpg |

The image below was discussed on this here thread some 4 1/2 years ago, and while it was discussed and assumed to be the carriage house for the hildreth,(particularly as the retaining wall is of the same material as can be seen on the many photos of the hildreth at the corner of hope and and 4th), I could never get my mind around how it sat on the site with relation to the main house. Even though it made sense that it was part of the Hildreth property, i just couldn't come to grasp with how............. http://jpg2.lapl.org/spnb1/00017248.jpg LAPL The image posted by HossC actually shows the carriage house at the bottom left hand corner of the photograph. Being that to date, no clear images taken from flower, or even Figueroa looking up at the back of the Hildreth has surfaced, (hence the ongoing discussion of the 4th street Stub.....), I just never realized until now, that the carriage house is situated on a North South axis, perpendicular to the Hildreth! The retaining wall wrapped around the property! This image is actually of the end, (or start if you prefer), of the 4th street Stub! This has now closed the book on something that has bothered me for some time! |

This photograph of three models admiring "the Stacks' is fairly familiar and has probably appeared on NLA
1955 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/eUSx7Q.jpg rtc/o_file but I recently came across this photograph showing the same three models posed near Cahuenga Pass. 1954 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/912/ZWIurc.jpg RedTide/file Obviously one of the dates is incorrect, as the models are wearing the same clothing in both photographs. __ |
