PE never had an Inglewood Substation, e-r. LARy/LATL did have a substation which served its 5 Line, but it was located a short distance away within the grounds of the Inglewood Park Cemetery along Florence Ave. Here's a photo: https://www.pacificelectric.org/los-...park-cemetery/ |

Here's an old Inglewood mystery photograph (originally posted in 2016) that we never solved. :(

You did say it reminded you of an old carriage house so I wonder if that's "Old Ingle", the carriage horse, in the adjacent paddock. :) "Panoramic view of Inglewood taken from the second floor of the Daniel Freeman home in the 1890s." https://i.imgur.com/SHIYI35.jpg tessa.lapl.org |

Excellent find N N! If you look closely there is a carriage..and possibly a person. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/EOCEZt.jpg DETAIL Initially, I thought the smoke was emanating from somewhere in the far distance, but if you look closely it's rising from behind that row of trees. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/4uR0Fr.jpg DETAIL Hmmm.....is that a slough in the middle distance? . |
Is the 'smoke' in Noir Noir's photograph coming from Freeman's windmill?
(the WINDMILL might be hidden behind the trees in NoirNoir's pic) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/G38wHL.jpg lapl ummmm...I've never seen a windmill smoke before. . |
Hi, I'm new to the forum. Six months ago someone sent me a link to Noirish LA with the comment, "a rabbit hole...". Indeed, after jumping around a few random pages I went to page 1 and started reading in earnest. I caught up to the current page about a week ago. The sleuthing exhibited here is positively breath-taking. I developed a love for film noir in film school and a love for Craftsman houses with the purchase of my own in the mid 1990s. I live in Eagle Rock and my hope is to find a photo of my house when it was relatively new. Although I have read over the entire thread, remembering it all and where I read it is impossible. Can anyone tell me if there is a search function specific to the thread?

I am somewhat of a newbie here myself, but I agree - the depth of knowledge here is astounding! I can't help you locate a photo of your home, but if anyone can, it's the people in this thread! |

Looking for something unrelated, I noticed this amusing ad in the 1904 CD... |

(I thought I asked this before, but I just did a search for Vibiana, and came up with nothing...)
This photo is from approximately 1899, and looks over downtown, facing south, from the direction of Fort Hill. I have highlighted St. Vibiana. Besides St. Vibiana, are ANY of the other buildings in the photo still standing? https://i.imgur.com/Ncci8dW.jpg Original (MUCH LARGER) photo on Shorpy: https://www.shorpy.com/node/7263?size=_original#caption |
:previous: At the right edge of the photo, to the right of St. Vibiana's, we see the Second Street side of the five-story Wilcox Building
at the SE corner of Second and Spring. The Wilcox Building -- or at least ~20% of it -- is still standing: Quote:
