The impressive Redondo Beach Hotel, built in 1890, and its surrounds, have not received much attention here. Per Redondo's History Page, Hotel was allegedly doomed due to prohibition (1925) . :no: Must be more to that story. Most photos are undated.

I've been interested in photos of Coffee Dan's on Vine Street in Hollywood and on Hollywood Blvd. near Highland. There's conflicting info I've uncovered whether or not they were there at the same time or the Vine Street location relocated to Hollywood Blvd. In any case, full on photos of these places have not been seen by me anywhere! But speaking of Topper, did you know that the Sea Breeze Hotel entrance in the film was shot in front of the Bullock's Wilshire porte cochere? Can't find a screen grab, but this'll give you an idea: http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4104/5...4df21ccd_z.jpg Flickr/65359853@N00 http://www.swlaw.edu/campus/images/f...rtecochere.jpg SWLAW/Southwest Law School |

1140 West Adams Boulevard
Hi there !
Do you know the story of the old victorian house standing at 1140 West Adams Boulevard, at the intersection with the Monmouth Avenue ? http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/89...0wadamsbld.jpg Google Image Hosted by Me You can find some great pics here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/7294653@N07/3477040629/ Credits to Floyd B. Bariscale It was a filming location for Speak Of The Devil (1991) AKA Ungodly. That's the way I've found it. People call it the A.E. Residence and it's the Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #295. It's part of the North University Park Historic District. Anyone for old pics please ? It's such a beautiful place. Thanks to the "soul" posters here. |

At home with Jack Benny...
Quote:
The former of home of iconic Jack Benny is quite large. The property measures approx. 300+ by 116 feet. Has a guest house/garage, pool cabana [as large as many homes], main house with two extending wings. Palatial, to say the least. I like the way it looks now. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps994cab68.jpg GEV |

http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/253/8waa.jpg The southwest corner of Lucerne Blvd and West 4th St, ca 1920 and recently. The three houses are still there, though the middle one has been remodeled. It looks like the tree in front of the middle house could even be the same.... The concrete lampost is the same, though now with the familiar L.A. urn style and without the interesting street signs. Lucerne was part of a newer addition to the original Windsor Square tract, with asphalt streets and concrete lamposts, as opposed to concrete streets and metal posts. See this old post of mine for more interesting detail of the neighborhood.... Quote:

Los Angeles Transit Building
Quote:
Located at the corner of Broadway and West 11th Street, the Los Angeles Transit Building was completed in 1922 as the headquarters for the Yellow Cars rail transit system. Although not as well known as the Red Car system, the Yellow Cars carried many more passengers. This excellent example of Beaux-Arts architecture subsequently became the Main Office of the Rapid Transit District and is currently in use primarily for garment manufacturing. http://www.m2a-architects.com/PORTFO...adway/1060.htm |
