I was excited to post this photograph as a mystery location Initially I thought this was a photograph of one of those stylized (kitschy) Los Angeles apartment buildings that were built following the discovery of King Tut's Tomb in 1922. (resulting in 'Egyptmania') Seller's description:...1916 RPPC LOS ANGELES CA 420 W 59th PLACE GRAND HOTEL HOME ? CALIFORNIA https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/922/OBTAXD.jpg eBay But King Tut's Tomb wasn't discovered until 1922! . . .and apartment buildings don't usually have turnstiles. (I just noticed them) *slaps forehead* So despite the seller's description. . ...My guess is. .the building is actually a pavilion at the San Diego World's Fair, 1915-1917. Here's the reverse with the 420 W 59th PLACE address - and - the 1916 postmark. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/kWNhiT.jpg But no mention of the world's fair. . |

I checked photos of the SD Exposition buildings but didn't see this one. Then I thought maybe it was from the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, but no. As it turns out, the RPPC shows the Fine Arts Building from the 1894 California Midwinter International Exposition in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. The building became the first home of the de Young Museum. Read about it (and see more pics) at the de Young website and also at OutsideLands.org. |

Hoss, I know it would be almost impossible and expensive to rebuild the railway. What I am suggesting is an aerial tram up to Mt. Lowe or even better, Mt. Wilson. It could carry tourists, hikers, T.V. transmission workers, Observatory staff etc. I'm sure it would be heavily used. The current two lane road to Mt. Wilso is long and winding. Tram woukd be a direct route up the south side from Sierra Madre or Pasadena. Aerial trams are not hugely expensive. They are all over the world. One has been proposed to Mt. Lee or Mt. Hollywood. Another to Dodger Stadium. They exist everywhere--Palm Springs, Swiss Alps, London, Rio etc. etc. I'm sure you are aware of all this and probably are more of an expert on it than I am. Wouldn't a Mt. Wilson tramway be nice? I estimate a cost of under $50 million that would pay for itself with fares. We need an investor(s) and approval from the Forest Service. It can be done. Maybe the base station could be located near the Sierra Madre Gold Line station. Maybe done by Olympics? :wiseman: |

mystery auditorium. (currently on eBay) "Antique Real Photo RPPC Auditorium Pacific - Palisades California - US Flag " https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/DIbxBo.jpg eBay Does anyone have an idea where this auditorium was located? "Back stamp is AZO unposted with 2 triangles pointed up & 2 down." (no photo) AZO? One of the popular photographic papers used for printing postcards was Kodak Professional AZO Paper. This was suitable for making contact prints, rather than enlargements for which the source of light would be much weaker. Postcards produced on AZO paper had AZO stamp boxes on the back. The style of these boxes varied over time. You learn something new every day. :) . |
