Below is a photograph from 1913.
It is a view north on Grand Ave. from between 3rd and 4th Street.
So I would guess Daniel and May resided on the east side of the street
up where you can see the group of trees (or perhaps a bit beyond).

This is the best I can do at the moment.
At least it gives you a good idea of their neighborhood.
Keep visiting the thread though Mark, you never know when one of us
might come up with a photograph of 212 S. Grand. |
Thanks ethereal reality. That is a great picture. Yes, it must be that dark rooftop just behind those trees 1 building in from First. Amazing!
I thought I had read the area was getting a little seedy by the late teens, but not from that picture. I do know that by the early 20's they were living in Boyle Heights (the burbs) where he lived until he passed away in 1966.
And thanks GaylordWilshire for the links. Great stuff.
