Los Angeles Street between 8th and 9th
Quote:
However, I believe we are looking west across Los Angeles Street between 8th and 9th, c. 1900-03. This is the 1906 Sanborn showing that block, with north on the right. Above "GELES" are 825 and 827 S. Los Angeles, separated by a passageway (perhaps the photo was taken from the NW corner of the Hewes Market building?): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...i.jpg~original ProQuest via LAPL Here are 825, the passageway, and 827 from the photo. Hanging out over the street, like it is on the map, is 825's awning. I could not find an LACD that listed the Lem Yen & Co. Fruit Co.: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...pskg5pqfji.jpg 1998-0264 @ CA St Library I think we can date the photo c. 1900-03 because of the building with the lettering on the NW corner of 8th and Los Angeles, above and behind the wagonload of watermelons. I can make out "Ornamental," "Iron Fence," and "Ed Tri . . .": http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...a.jpg~original That's Edward G. Trinkkeller at 115 E. 8th: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...pseyv03no3.jpg 1900 LACD @ fold3.com He's also there in 1901 and, for the last time at that address, in 1902: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psyzipnqof.jpg 1902 LACD @ fold3.com In 1903 he's listed at 765 S. Los Angeles Street; that's almost certainly the NW corner of 8th and Los Angeles, so either he relocated around the corner from 115 E. 8th, or it's the same location but renumbered. EGT worked for others from 1895-99, and in 1904 he made cornices at 1720 S. Main St. |

Temescal Canyon Road north of Sunset Blvd. Maybe about here? |

Home addresses that can be located for Edward Trinkkeller are 1820 Westmoreland Blvd, where he lived in 1922, 203 S. McCadden Place, where he is found in the census in 1930 and 208 S. Highland in 1936. All of these houses are still there and Westmoreland and McCadden have decorative ironwork. The house where he boarded in 1901 is also still there, and while there is ironwork there, it is of a much newer style. His declaration of intention to become a US Citizen is dated 1903. He appears in a naturalization index in that year as well when he was living in Los Angeles. He became a US citizen in April of 1906. |
:previous: Thanks ScottyB and oldstuff. I'd never heard of Trinkkeller before, but I guess he's semi-famous.
His papers are at Cal Poly SLO, and if you go to the Calisphere search page and enter "Trinkkeller" you get photos of him and his work. |
Here's a shot of the Stratford that was on eBay recently.
Wish I had won it; I dig this era of amateur snaps. Hope I'm not doing its new owner too much of a disservice by disseminating it here. (Heaven knows a hefty portion of my collection has ended up on the internet via screengrabs.) https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4795/...6ba62869_o.jpg And I couldn't help tinkering with it a little— https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4776/...088e7585_o.jpg Anyway, the Stratford was designed by Frank F. Rasche in 1925. In the early '20s he was producing commercial and residential— https://farm1.staticflickr.com/803/4...4994e4f4_o.pngbooks.google.com and you can learn more about Rasche here. Here is the interior, in a postcard sold by Cardcow. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4795/...a6cf1cc6_b.jpg One of us really needs to go into the Stratford today and see how it compares. We've seen the Stratford before, like here, which had another eBay-grabbed vintage shot, this one from 1942: http://imageshack.us/a/img17/6411/w89k.jpg I'll tell you something else that's interesting, the permit for the rooftop sign dates to March of 1926. That's really early for a neon sign. Could win the "oldest extant sign in LA" contest. (Someone was telling me recently that the Theosophy Hall rooftop neon on 33rd might be the oldest, but this predates that by years.) https://farm1.staticflickr.com/809/4...54602fea_c.jpggsv |

When I live in L.A. a very good friend lived (she still does) off of Chautauqua, and not once did I take the time to ponder why it was named Chautauqua. Anyhoo...

I hate to say it but this how much of the 3rd world looks today. The once elegant LA has deteriorated into a decrepit sinister jungle. Is LA the new Calcutta or whatever... http://imageshack.us/a/img854/9522/pj0l.jpg GSV |
I found this intriguing cabinet card photograph a year or so ago on ebay. (I'm just now going thru around some old files)
There wasn't much information in the seller's description. "Cabinet Card- Charles' Crowd - Large Group Men Women Hats Fancy Dresses 1890-1900" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/bytdCv.jpg After a long time searching for clues, I noticed the ladies' FAN in the center of the photograph. rotated / enlarged https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/VaDmNJ.jpg Let's take an even closer look, shall we. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/nmwsnA.jpg Ah-Ha Jacoby Bros! 1888 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/SjPKsm.jpg lapl by 1890, brother Charles has moved from New York to 665 South Hope St. in Los Angeles. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/K5LTXW.jpg lapl Could this be the Charles that is mentioned on the back of the card? [Charles Jacoby] https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/1TaYmn.jpg Does anyone know what Charles Jacoby looked like? I bet he's the guy to the left of the lovely lady with the fan.
