These human interest stories are always interesting -the cameo image of Mr Marshall at the window looks very Chandleresque. Reminds me of The High Window and Mrs Elizabeth Bright Murdock. alester alester |
1902 "Bank baseball team, Second Street and Spring Street." (Remarkable archway. Wonder how far the team bus had to travel.)

The Biltmore Theater was pretty much enveloped by the massive hotel at that point.

Why in the world would Ford attempt an "upscale" Model T? Who did they think would buy it? That would be like Chrysler making a limousine version of the K-car (Oh, wait. They did do that). Hmmm....I hope one of those classy lassies knows how to change a flat tire. http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/8...ttowncar10.jpgzumann.com |

Undated, no address. "Auto roller coaster."
Presumably So-Cal related. Thrill ride designed to mimic Mullholland and Wilshire Boulevards, without the pedestrian traffic? What warranty? http://jpg3.lapl.org/pics04/00021597.jpgLapl Another undated image without location other than somewhere in Los Angeles. Suspect this is a Duesenberg parked in Beverly Hills 1937-8. Maybe Wilshire and Beverly Drive. Wild guess. :shrug: http://jpg3.lapl.org/pics04/00021545.jpgLapl |

Speaking of things that never change, except for some relatively minor details, time has stood still at 5251 Hollywood Blvd:

At first glance, I thought there was a traveling circus below the Franklin Avenue Bridge*.
http://imageshack.us/a/img835/8619/f...idgelookin.jpg Library of Congress http://www.loc.gov/pictures/ It turns out, the buildings form the campus of the Lycee International School of Los Angeles. http://imageshack.us/a/img189/1481/a...alglobetro.jpg http://virtualglobetrotting.com/ The four circular 'pavilions' were built in 1960 as the Midtown School and were designed by the modernist John Lautner. The buildings provided airy classrooms and were built on a small scale to suit the needs of children. (the largest circular building you see in the aerials was added in 1980) http://imageshack.us/a/img687/3605/a...sized1960f.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/ikkoskinen/324265944/ http://imageshack.us/a/img834/7215/a...fr1lautner.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/cityprojectca/4361020966/ ___ Of course, John Lautner is best known as the architect of the iconic Chemosphere House (1960), built the same year as the Midtown School. http://imageshack.us/a/img255/415/aa...wnschoolar.jpg Julius Schulman http://www.archdaily.com/64345/ad-cl...uliusshculman/ The Chemosphere House is situated just off Mulholland Drive on the San Fernando Valley side of the Hollywood Hills. Unbelievably, the home is only accessible by a funicular (shown on the right). http://imageshack.us/a/img687/1060/aablyc1funicular.jpg http://www.funimag.com/photoblog/ind...e-chemosphere/ __ added note: *The Franklin Avenue Bridge, where this post began, is better known as the Shakespeare Bridge (built 1926). The future site of the school is at lower right, just past that wooden fence. http://imageshack.us/a/img20/491/aab...ridgebuilt.jpg http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=10781 __ |
Circa 1900. Corum Paper Box Factory? Spring Street and 8th Street? WaterandPower site suggests this is a Waverley Electromobile.http://waterandpower.org/museum/Earl...29_Page_1.html
