The hospital was on Sunset Blvd. https://i.imgur.com/Kn2yaPd.jpg rescarta.lapl.org The building was originally the Homer Toberman Deaconess Home and then turned into a hospital in 1907. https://i.imgur.com/CH7wTkc.jpg Report of the Woman's Home Mission Society of The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, 1904 https://i.imgur.com/2yNseXv.jpg cdnc.ucr.edu - Los Angeles Herald -14 March 1907 In 1913 the building became a Cooperative Home for Working Girls and the medical work was transferred to a clinic on East 7th Street. https://i.imgur.com/Hj6OxsU.jpg Report of the Woman's Missionary Council of The Methodist Episcopal Church 1913-14 https://i.imgur.com/ctZs5J8.jpg rescarta.lapl.org |

We've definitely scratched the surface with the building at 1136 W 6th Street. If you check the posts from early September 2015, you'll find my post (see here) with the images below and more. I think t2 may have started the discussion with posts about Bixel House. Start at page 1541 (@ 20 posts/page) and have a look around. I may well have missed some earlier/later posts in my quick check. I have a feeling we found some pictures of the building. Quote:

I've been looking for a post where someone answered this question once before concerning the "X" signs, but I can't locate it. (Heh! What do you search for?) But I'm sure the answer was rail related. |

Anyone (esp Hoss) have any idea of the whereabouts of this house? The image is from a short called "Hollywood Snapshots"-- supposedly the home of silent comedian Sid Smith. Smith is in some sources noted a living "above Los Feliz" but those references are from after the film was made in early 1922. Smith was pretty big but died in 1928 after drinking bad hooch.

Edenwild?
Here is an original family snapshot taken in the Summer of 1924.
Ray & D.W.(?) Lamb https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/JZwOQe.jpgEBAY Rear labeled: "Ray & Dexter, summer of 1924. Edenwild, Santa Monica Mounts." [the seller did not provide an image of the reverse side] When I searched 'Edenwild' [via the skyscraperpage search mechanism] nothing turned up. Does anyone know where Edenwild was located? _____________________________________________ also too..& just for kicks. Here are all the Lambs listed in the 1925 city directory. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/qm9uhs.jpg LAPL I was hoping to find a family living in Pacific Palisade or Santa Monica. -(obviously the two young hikers are juveniles..so they wouldn't be listed anyway) --although they might be listed in a few years. ......................................but I gave up. P.S. Edenwild seems vaguely familiar...but I'm probably thinking of Edendale. _ |

It's off Piuma Road, just east of Las Virgenes Canyon Road. |

Hollywood was never the same after they tore town the Garden of Allah apartment court. The most famous of them all. Any noirish pics of it? |

I'm surprised by how many Lambs are listed in the main Los Angeles directory. (oops. I didn't realize I was looking at the Santa Monica directory) ..................................It was 3:00 A.M. I was tired. Quote:
Let's find that large rock the two hikers are posing on. (you can do it minions!) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/VVPQSo.jpg detail / Now that I see Ray and Dexter close up.....they look older than what I initially thought. _ |

An address I did find for Sid Smith is in a short bio at bizarrela.com: "He died on July 4, 1928, from ingesting poisoned alcohol during a drinking binge that had lasted several days. Apparently, Smith had attended a party at a Santa Monica beach house where he may have drunk tainted, bootlegged gin from a stone crock. He then returned to Los Angeles, complaining that he didn’t feel well. A friend took him to a hospital for stomach treatment. Smith then went to his home at 1508 N. Gower Street and unexpectedly died there a few hours later." This is six years too late, and the house in the picture appears to have a three-digit number. The search continues... |
