Couldn't resist finding the house-- 2642 Kenwood, built in 1907. At one time the home of real estate man Roy C. Seeley and in 1948 the home of Dr. Herbert A. Sheen. A few recent GSVs: Feb 2020 https://i.postimg.cc/CK5gL445/kenwoodnewer-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/HLkp8mTp/kenwoodnewer2-bmp.jpg March 2009 https://i.postimg.cc/sDzCZzJt/kenwoodolder-bmp.jpg |
Kenwood!
Bingo GW! my Grandparents moved to Kenwood in 1945, and i think they sold it in the late 70's.

Dad evidently got into a few car incidents because he thought he could get away with speeding in Papa's Cadillac's (he bought a new one every other year) https://i.postimg.cc/0NYYx8ZC/057.jpg Aunt Mildred, Dad, Lassie and Medical License plate topper. |

My folks had two Country Squires with the faux wood - 1968 and 1973 (to replace the '68). The 1968 had the 390 and the 1973 had the 351. |

At first I highly doubted the little fancy studio was in the backyard . . .but they really do seem to match! Amazing discovery. :) . |

mystery location. "Los Angeles Street, aerial photo, Novack Salvage Yard, 1957." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/hdl7FL.jpg eBay I don't think the salvage yard is actually on "Los Angeles Street". I believe the seller means the location is Los Angeles and the photograph shows a street. Let's take a closer look at the photograph. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/ShdGgS.jpg detail And here's the salvage yard from a different angle. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/49k6He.jpg eBay This angle gives you a good look at the rail spur. . |
:previous:
The Novack Salvage Yard was just north of Mission Boulevard at Milliken Avenue in Ontario. The top view below is from 1959. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ckSalvage1.jpg Historic Aerials/Google Maps |

Thanks for sharing the photographs of your beautiful family, unihikid. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/qoaUXp.jpg unihikid I'm curious. .did you ever have a chance to ask your dad what song he is performing for your aunts? Was the family Collie really named Lassie? . . or are you joshing us. :) . |
artsy.net bio.....
Vivian Maier was a photography hobbyist whose output would become an influential body of work in the 20th-century street photography. Maier was a nanny and caregiver with a hidden passion for photography that resulted in over 100,000 negatives—mostly discovered posthumously. She picked up a camera for the first time in 1947 and worked late into the 1990s capturing her favored subjects: fleeting moments and images from her urban surroundings in Chicago and New York, touching upon destitution, urban development, pedestrian culture, and the American identity. Her later works featured fewer figures and took more interest in found objects, graffiti, and detritus. She was out here on at least two occasions.... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...0aeef9d(3).jpg 1955 https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...er/26_3(1).jpg 1959 |
. Isn't anyone else interested why "Uncle tony" got cut out of the photograph?Quote:

I was curious but I was afraid it might be too personal. ... So I asked about Lassie instead. :) . |

Here's an interesting rppc. (real photo postcard) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/60nObM.jpg ebay Let's take a closer look at the photograph on the left. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/9n2TG9.jpg detail Note the two workers. Is that a ghost sign on the building next door? The postcard was addressed to 'County Flood Control' at 8th and Figueroa. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/O9lpMt.jpg It was postmarked at the Arcade Station in 1937....Hmmm. .but the Arcade Station was long gone by 1937. ....So what, exactly, is the Arcade Annex? (I've seen the postmark many times but I've never specifically asked about the annex) for search purposes: southwest equipment co. - 1928 e. 7th St. - L. A. - VA.8521 - sales - rentals |

We have probably seen the MissionVillage Auto Court but I don't remember seeing this excellent sepia rppc. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/9WEEsv.jpg eBay 4 Acres....5675 W. Washington Blvd. ...Los Angeles The reverse is blank. Here's the area today. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/uTpRO2.jpg GSV '4 acres' is quite large. I imagine the Mission Village Auto Court was replaced by the United States Post Office on the southwest corner. (this is a guess) There's something interesting down the street. A large sign appears to say MAMMY. :shrug: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/sNqEoF.jpg detail If my coordinances are correct this would be the west side of S. La Brea just below Washington Blvd. . |

Mammy's Shack (Chas H Cole) Established 1923, Chicken, Steak and Squab Dinners, Cocktails, 5687 W Washington Blvd. There are various pictures online, but none that I've found are an exact match for the sign above (one has a similar font with the colors reversed). I make the addresses near S Fairfax in Culver City. |
