Coming across this rendering of 825 S Coronado here, I was reminded of #826 and HossC's definitive history of it here on NLA, which is due for an encore. I for one am excited by the rejuvenation (I prefer this to "gentrification") of Westlake...at the same time keeping my fingers crossed that 826 S Coronado will survive.... https://urbanize.la/sites/default/fi...?itok=QjxOcsD1 |

Cambria Street School, Los Angeles
I don't believe we have seen this fine looking school on NLA. (yes, I searched)
At first I thought the school was located in Cambria, Califorinia [San Luis Opisbo County], but it's actually the Cambria Street School in Los Angeles! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/cAMN7S.jpg abebooks or maybe we've seen it under a different name (?) Here's a closer look sans border. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/gwdx0q.jpg looks like a meteor[ite] landed in the foreground _ |
We have discussed the Hollywood Canteen many times on NLA....& if I remember correctly, the Canteen Club Cafe has also been mentioned. (I tried, and failed, to find the posts).
THAT SAID....I'm pretty sure this is the first souvenir folder from the Canteen Club Cafe! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/ReVMi9.jpg EBAY (no longer listed) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/EQID1m.jpg I can't quite read the writing (my eyes are blurry). It might be LaVerne, Maxine and Patty. ;) the back https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/RjY4Ni.jpg search purposes: Canteen Club Cafe, 527 South Main St. Los Angeles |

Western Pipe & Steel Company
I found this recently on ebay. The location isn't given....except for California. The riverbed in the foreground could be the Los Angeles River.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/FWbOvL.jpgebay Can you see the man? . |

Here's the Western Pipe and Steel Company of California on the banks of the Los Angeles River on the 1921 Baist map. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...sternPipe1.jpg USC Digital Library Earlier CDs list the address as 1758-1764 N Broadway, but by 1921, it's 1758-1764 N Spring Street. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...sternPipe2.jpg LAPL |
:previous: very cool. Thanks Hoss!
And here's the man. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/sHk6Hi.jpg detail |

LA Times via ProQuest via CSULB Library The location of the W.C. Stuart residence is the corner of Orange Grove and Columbia. To my great surprise, the trees are still there! https://i.postimg.cc/dtk8GXJm/Jacaranda3.jpg gsv The W.C. Stuarts have a nice handful of mentions in the Los Angeles Times . . . but nothing of interest, almost always of the Social Happenings sort. Here's the most interesting: https://i.postimg.cc/RVkwdRFr/Jacaranda2.jpg LA Times via ProQuest via CSULB Library |

I finally found the link to the 1924 photo album.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/JJAjZO.jpg HERE |
A quick search tells me we haven't seen Boureston's on NLA.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/feVt6X.jpghttps://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/dIJupt.jpg ebay Slauson at Van Ness, Los Angeles AXMINISTER 1 - 0595 __ I like the keyhole shaped interior doorway. |
:previous:
I've found a time frame for Boureston's, but that's about all I can find. The following is from jassdancer.blogspot.com: Boureston's is legendary among the greatest dancers to ever step foot on a floor in Los Angeles. Between the years 1943 and 1945, the weekly dance was the hottest location for the best to have their showdowns.It must've been mentioned in the newspapers. I've just noticed that their very similar matchbook has the phone number Axminister 9090. |
^ ^ ^ Thanks Hoss. -very interesting.

From the location of the trees, the Stuarts probably lived on the northwest corner. (replaced by apt. building) The Bissell House, on the southwest corner, was built in 1887. (that pink Bissell House Bed & Breakfast thingy is pointing to the wrong house) I corrected it with my skillfully drawn red arrow. ;) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/ymcKTk.png GSV It's impossible to get a view of it from the google-mobile...so here's a pic of the pool and the back of the house via Tripadvisor https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/S8UxeG.jpg tripadvisor _ |

I'm thinking, though, that Ventura Blvd. through that section probably used to be the old Hwy. 101, which crosses the railroad tracks. Here's a Google Streetview from the Camarillo Metrolink station parking lot: https://www.google.com/maps/@34.2154...2!8i6656?hl=en |
