I assume that this is the KCET article you're talking about: How L.A. Got One of the Country's Largest Urban Parks Their caption for the picture below is "The Rancho Los Feliz ostrich farm, circa 1885." The original picture is from LAPL where it's dated at circa 1880s and has the caption "Panoramic view of Ostrich Farm Park in Glendale, located near Burbank on the old railroad from Burbank Junction, later Sanborn Junction and Sunset Blvd. ". http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...hoLosFeliz.jpg LAPL |
I posted this picture of the Occidental College a few weeks ago along with a couple of others in post #25858, with some more in post #25868.

before and after
I came across this great looking slide earlier this week on eBay. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...907/R037s5.jpg eBay ....and here is the same view in 2014 (413 7th Street) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...540/qNez65.jpg GSV I found the Lyndon by using the Hotel Cecil as a guide post. (I thought the blade sign said London in the vintage slide, so that caused some confusion) __ I actually posted about the Lyndon back on May of 2013. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=14856 At one point the Lyndon was stripped down to it's shell. -see it here: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=14857 __ |

The Lyndon! By none other than the esteemed Robert Brown Young. |

:previous: my bad. -thanks for the correction Beaudry (and Handsome_Stranger for pointing it out)
__ The Edison Building in the 1970s when it still said EDISON at the top. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...910/AkB6sL.jpg Today it says Torrey Pines Bank on the top.:( (Torrey Pines sounds like a golf course) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...537/ih4qkA.jpg https://www.flickr.com/photos/260210...ream/lightbox/ Couldn't the EDISON sign have been included in the historical landmark? Haven't other signs been protected in this manner? __ |

Do you have information on the building next to the Lyndon in my vintage slide? I noticed there's some writing at it's roofline...but it's illegible. (I've put a square red box around it) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...913/QFxDQG.jpg eBay |

This slide would have had to've been shot from the 1948 Pacific Telephone & Telegraph building at 434 S Grand—if this slide is really late-50s it's before Woodford & Bernard's 1961 Pacific Telephone switching center at 420 S Grand (which we know as the building with the microwave tower atop). Am I being all nitpicky? I do know I'm bidding large on this sucker! |

About the confusion of the 11th & Bonnie Brae homes, it's quite mutual. Lol. I wish I could remember where I read that 1851 had been moved. Couldn't find it, but as consolation, I did find a few 80's-eraish-looking photos of 1851 and 1047 that I don't think ever been posted here, the latter of which has definitely seen worse days than we even realized (still with that horrible replacement porch railing). http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...pstv3e0xoy.jpg http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...psnjuggo0b.jpgLA City Planning |
I don't recall seeing this fascinating image on NLA.
"This is the Southern Pacific railroad as it enters Santa Monica. The railroad ignited a bustling tourism along the Pacific Coast." -Business Insider http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...910/h0IhEM.jpg http://www.businessinsider.com/thelife So what do you think all that lumber is for? -the future Santa Monica depot? (this is just a guess) __ |
I searched and couldn't locate this image on NLA.
"View of the Founders Building of the University of Southern California College of Medicine located on Buena Vista street (later N. Broadway), 1890." http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...901/aYBqYC.jpg http://cdm16003.contentdm.oclc.org/c...id/3581/rec/76 -you can clearly see the USC emblem in this detail. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...673/avklO2.jpg http://cdm16003.contentdm.oclc.org/c...id/3581/rec/76 below: While looking for a street number I noticed these stylized 'Corinthian' columns that line the front porch. -very unusual, a nice touch. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...538/9PcqBY.jpg detail ...but no street number. So where on Buena Vista was this located? __ |
