Anyway, a little more about Olive & Jack's brief tenure on Wilshire Boulevard is here. PS Tourmaline--I've restored the images in post 16138 and post 37759 |

Too bad to have lost this house to the junk that's on the lot today...anyway, I don't know when Cheney Sr. might have been living at 507 N Linden--actress Eileen Percy (not familiar with her) and her husband, Ulrich Busch (an MGM exec and, apparently, beer heir) were living there in 1927. Cheney was building the house still standing at 806 N Whittier, BH, when he died.... The architect was the great Paul R Williams (see The Paul R Williams Project). https://s22.postimg.cc/j2avw18mp/che...seisit.bmp.jpg |

This image, which appears to show 646 S. Gramercy Place, is included with others under the title "Handsome Homes Seen From Wilshire Boulevard." http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...1.jpg~original August 10, 1912, Los Angeles Herald @ CDNC |
The Ace Gallery building at 9430 Wilshire Blvd. was approved for demolition where the location will become the Purple Line station entrance, which will be at the southwest corner of Wilshire and Reeves Drive (the site of the former Ace Gallery building – the gallery relocated to the Miracle Mile last fall) that is now set for demolition in the coming months.

I don't know what was located there previous to that. Since 1986, ACE Gallery Los Angeles has occupied the entire second floor of the Desmond’s Department Store building, an Art Deco structure that fills an entire block of Wilshire Boulevard’s Miracle Mile. The 11-story building, also known as the Wilshire Tower, first opened on March 15, 1929. Inside the Wilshire Tower, Ace has 30,000 feet of museum-quality gallery space. 5514 Wilshire Blvd. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...C_CA_90036.jpgWikimedia |
'mystery' locations.
Here is another group of four slides originally from the Los Angeles Planning Commission. A couple look familiar, expecially the last one (I believe they're additional slides (not duplicates) from earlier grouplngs by the same seller. All the slides are from the 1970s. #1 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/eh5KA7.jpg EBAY #2 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/sCKTOi.jpg EBAY #3 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/mjPlkS.jpg EBAY #4 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/0r2H0X.jpg EBAY Emergency Phone? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/SPWBpX.jpg DETAIL _ |

https://i.imgur.com/WUDOcmt.jpg Sadly, I don't have the time to look for this next one... but if I had to bet I would say it somewhere just west of Dodger Stadium, around Lemoyne Street. This is that area: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Le....2548357?hl=en https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/mjPlkS.jpg |

In fact, the only thing I know from the above is of "Hershel 'Budge' Diltz" and of Emma Evertson. The family always referred to Hershel as Budge. I also knew that the family was from somewhere in Colorado. Beyond that, all of the above is completely new information to me. That stuff about Lyman Diltz is particularly interesting to me. Thanks so much for digging up all of this information, oldstuff! I will add all of it to my family records. PS: Sorry for my late (and brief) response to your post... some troubles have arisen in my life which I am still dealing with. I haven't had much time for the internet in the past few days. Sadly, I have to rush back to dealing with it right now... :( |

Here's one more 'mystery' location for this fine afternoon. [circa the 1960s]
Does anyone know where, in beautiful downtown Burbank, this Swedish smorgasbord was located? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/pmft5D.jpg etsy Thanks in advance. :) __ |

:previous: Thanks GW. looks a bit lonely doesn't it.
Here's an interesting photograph of the Tail O' the Cock in the valley [c.1958] It shows the old fir trees that I mentioned yesterday. (they are fir trees, right odinthor?) firs = evergreens https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/HPIVNZ.jpg ipin.img Surprisingly, no one seems to agree where, exactly, it was located in the valley. This guy says it was in Sherman Oaks > > Bobby Cole This guy says it was in Studio City > > Bryan Behar This guy says it was in North Hollywood > > Marty McFly Marty McFly also mistakeningly posted a postcard of the La Cienega location) __ |
Thanks Scott Charles for finding two of the locations!
I'm afraid this one is going to be rather difficult to find. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/mjPlkS.jpg EBAY |

Wife and I walk here almost daily, wish we could've visited the smorgasbord! The large ficus trees along the boulevard are all to come down (per city planning) in the coming years, btw. |

Just my opinion but they are rather homely and scraggly looking. We have had them on our various properties and they shed a ton of needles. |
