The City of Dairy Valley was incorporated on April 24, 1956, as a reaction to nearby Artesia's rapid urbanization. The City's name symbolized the more than 400 dairies, 100,000 cows and 106,300 chickens found within its limits. The cows outnumbered the City's 3,439 residents by 29 to 1. The chickens outnumbered the residents by over 30 to 1. The first business license in the new city was for Walter Marlowe's "Dairy Valley Egg Farms". This area is now called Cerritos. |

That's the old (third) Los Angeles High School on Olympic (pictured on the thread before). "Los Angeles High School is shown in the opening credits of the 1940s movie "Strike Up The Band". The popular late 1960s and early 1970s television series Room 222 was filmed at LAHS. The 1917 building sustained moderate cosmetic damage, principally in the tower area, during the Sylmar earthquake in 1971. Efforts spearheaded by the Alumni Association, founded in 1876, to repair and preserve the iconic structure were opposed by certain commercial interests, who lobbied for its demolition, and finally decisively thwarted when it was gutted by a fire of mysterious origin. The replacement structure has been universally decried and finds no champions among either current or former students and faculty, or residents of the neighboring community." - wiki |

There were a few cows in the area when I moved here in 1992 but they're all gone now. But the Drive-Thru store is in operation in 2017....just as before [see below]. The now empty cow barns are still in the back of the lot. You can see them at the far right in the photo. 6170 N Paramount Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90805 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...pskbe5ldpg.jpg googlesv |

I'm referring to the Dutch Village that was on Woodruff and South street. I thought it was in Bellflower, but it's really further south, in Lakewood. https://lakewood-ca.smugmug.com/Othe...lery/i-NVwQrdQ http://articles.latimes.com/1986-04-...village-center This KCET article has a good aerial of Rockview Downey from 1957, when it still had cows there. https://www.kcet.org/shows/lost-la/m...east-la-county |

north of Harrison Street: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...2.jpg~original FW photo Feb 2016 Is it true that the price of hay sold under the Paramount Hay Tree was quoted by brokers in New York and Chicago as the international standard? http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...t.jpg~original FW photo Feb 2016 |

The Driftwood Dairy at the corner of Lower Azuza Road and El Monte Avenue, El Monte. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/vFssjp.jpg Chris Lott at https://www.flickr.com/photos/calott23/4471095637/ Originally called the Driftyland Dairy-Port, the mid-century arch-shaped canopy that covers the smaller buildings beneath was built by Theodore Masterson in 1961. Here's a closer look at it's space-age sign with the giant spike on top. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...921/24wAnA.jpg https://www.flickr.com/photos/marcsh...9839/lightbox/ below: In this view, the arch appears to be made of wood with steel support arches. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...921/RBECGw.jpg Mike Hume at https://www.flickr.com/photos/mike-h...n/photostream/ The outer edge of the arch looks like it used to light up. (does anyone remember if it did?) ------------------------------------- update: In March 2012, a wind storm damaged the sign. The uppermost and largest portion of the signage was never recreated.. (see below) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...921/NVafbf.jpg https://www.laconservancy.org/issues...ive-thru-dairy The smaller sign features the company’s bovine mascot, 'Drifty'. Here's 'Drifty' painted on the curb. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...924/KV5bIL.jpg detail for search purposes: Driftwood Dairy 10724 Lower Azusa Road El Monte, CA 91731 __ more info. here: https://www.laconservancy.org/locations/driftwood-dairy |

Bellflower / Nubel / Holiday Theater, Bellflower

It was built in '29. The current tower was added during the 1949 remodel. There's a photo here when the theater was called the Holiday. The original tower (I may like this one better) in 1937: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/TI...w=w386-h589-no la movie palaces <--- more pix at the link |

Thanks for finding yesterday's mystery location, tovangar2. It seems to be well preserved.
---------------- We've seen a couple of Palos Verdes apartment complexes over the last few weeks, so, for a change, here's a Palos Verdes industrial site from Julius Shulman. It's "Job 3332: Charles Luckman Associates, Nortronics (Palos Verdes Peninsula, Calif.), 1961". There are color images of the building below in the set, but they're either over- or under-saturated and not as well framed. I've also omitted a few of the black & white shots. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original This side view shows more of the landscaping. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Looking out from inside the building above. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original The other buildings on the campus look like the one on the right. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original I'll finish the Shulman photos with this interior shot. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute Here's an article from the 28 May, 1959 issue of Palos Verdes Peninsula News which announces the site acquisition. It incorrectly lists the location as "Crest Road west of its intersection with Hawthorne Boulevard" - it was actually east of the intersection. NB. I've rearranged the columns to fit the screen better. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original California Digital Newspaper Collection The 23 February, 1961 issue of Palos Verdes Peninsula News gives this great description of the site: Moving day will begin the first week in April by the Nortronics Research Center in their 50 acre development on the plateau of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.I've picked the few sentences below from a page about Palos Verdes Research Park at smecc.org. The text appears to originate from a 2006 Daily Breeze article: When first proposed in 1958, Palos Verdes Research Park was touted as "the perfect place to think." Instead the proposal prompted a typical fight over development on the Palos Verdes Peninsula and five years later the nascent idea was all but dead.Below, the site can be clearly seen on the 1972 aerial view on the left. The houses first appear on the 2002 view, but the 2003 view on the right is clearer. I've outlined the Nortronics campus. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...7.jpg~original Historic Aerials |
