All I could find on George's Ranch Market ... if it's the one in the picture. https://i.imgur.com/T7YnChn.jpeg archive.org - Los Angeles Times 1940-05-10 Close to the SE corner of where Manchester Ave./Firestone Blvd. and S.

There's a good chance you got it, Noir_Noir. Compare a tiny feature of the adjoining building, the modern view from a gsv a little down the alley to the left between the buildings: https://i.postimg.cc/VsR3km4C/Manchester.jpg It looks as if the older building might be encased in the newer building. |

Thanks Noir Noir and odinthor. :) As always, I appreciate the help. NLA was quiet yesterday. I'm working on a few posts for this afternoon or tomorrow. (I've been distracted / my mother is in the hospital) . |

I happened upon this slide the other day on eBay. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/xJK0W8.jpg Can someone remind where the Museum of Death was located? I remember talking about it a loooong time ago. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/agTFPe.jpg LINK This next slide is much older. Seller's description:..."1939 Color Slide: Sunset Blvd Hollywood Los Angeles Griffith Observatory in Back" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/1FAcIl.jpg eBay A closer look. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/d7DnrD.jpg detail . |
.
And this early sepia photograph was listed on eBay a couple of weeks ago. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq70/923/nJl09d.jpg There appears to be a decorative faux-oil well a bit farther down the block. P.S. It's still listed. Go Here . |

I read that the museum started in a former mortuary in San Diego, possibly on Fifth Avenue, but that didn't check out. The cars in e_r's picture are from the '90s (VW Jetta/Toyota Celica), and I eventually found that the museum's original Los Angeles location (circa 2000) was at 6340 Hollywood Boulevard with an entrance on Ivar Avenue. I think that the Ivar side is the location shown in the photo above. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...eumOfDeath.jpg GSV The Museum of Death is now at 6363 Selma Avenue. |

SW at Adams and Figueroa, May 3, 1933, 10:30 a.m.
The intersection of Adams and Figueroa is left of center, with the Auto Club HQ on the SWC and St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church
on the NWC. And that's one whopper of a greenhouse (I guess) near the right center edge! https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...Fig_aerial.jpg National Archives (zoomable) P.S. I'm thinking good thoughts for you and your mom, e_r. |

Here's a place we haven't seen before on NLA. Vindicator Stock Farm, Corner of Vernon & Boyle, Los Angeles ca.1910. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/i6Fp7D.jpg eBay Let's take a closer look. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/9yo3yo.jpg eBay Los Angeles Daily Times / November 22, 1910 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/FAKQv9.jpg Courtesy of the eBay seller. I looked up the address and the stock farm bordered the west side of the Los Angeles River. . |

Thanks for finding when Desmond's was at 141 S. Spring, Lorendoc! I found the La Fiesta celebration began in 1894 and ran through 1897 before starting up again in 1901. With Desmond's where it was when it was, I think the photo has to be 1894 to 1897 -- I'm leaning toward 1897 -- not 1910. Here's a description of Desmond's store decoration for the 1897 La Fiesta parade. I don't know about the horse, but at least "high-towered" and "lattice work" might apply to whatever that structure is: https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...j1n4pVSe3y.jpg April 22, 1897, Los Angeles Times @ Newspapers.com Now let's take a closer look at the streetcar -- what does the banner on the front say?: https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag..._on_Spring.jpg I think it says: LA FIESTA / ATHLETIC (?) CARNIVAL / PARK SPORTS / THURSDAY (?) So, if a sports carnival was going to be at Athletic Park on Thursday, maybe that was this: https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...k_Thursday.jpg Thursday, April 22, 1897, Los Angeles Times @ Newspapers.com Quote:

Could the headboard say BYRNE BLOCK BROADWAY ? |

Another pointer to 1897 as the picture year perhaps. :) Dr. Munk located in the Hammond Block on South Spring Street. https://i.imgur.com/vRnAkEy.jpeg rescarta.lapl.org By the next year he had moved to the Grant Block on South Broadway. The nearby dentist sign likely for C. V. Baldwin or J. D. Van Vleck. |

I believe the lower line reads "S.P. DEPOT". This car would've been operating on LARY's Westlake Line, which was converted to trolley operation by a predecessor in 1893. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a definitive date for eventual rerouting which would've given us an upper bound for the date of the photo. FWIW, I concur that the 1910 date is suspect and that 1897 seems like the better bet. |
