a great example of hotlinked image which will disappear within a matter of weeks. For anyone thinking of hotlinking images - please use an image hosting service such as ImageShack, Photobucket, Flickr etc. Feel free to ask any questions regarding posting images using one of these sites. In an attempt to preserve the image, I've added it to my Photobucket account (after some tweaking!). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ollTheatre.jpg Original from eBay |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...leTowers2a.jpg A footnote below the image says "Postcard from the personal collection of Christina Rice." As Christina Rice is one of the editors of 'On Bunker Hill', maybe you could try contacting her for a better scan. |

Screen Caps from the 1950 Noir Flick Backfire.
Warner brothers released this in 1950, but was actually filmed in 1947.

Here's the 1913 Clark dropped onto those poor things: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4139/...9ecbd49b_o.jpg You can see the Sherman on the far left. I'd like to mention the Sherman (built as the Johnson Bldg #5 [Hotel Clarendon], 1896, demolished 1946) was Robert Brown Young; and the Hotel Leroy (Steinhart Block, 1897), at the right in E-R's LAPL image, was RB Young as well. The Leroy was contiguous to the Occidental hotel (Wilson #6, 1898) also RB Young! https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4120/...0a66cab7_o.jpg The Occidental is replaced by this Walker & Eisen in 1936 -- and down the street, note that the Sherman still has her original '90s roofline: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4134/...4aa32b8639.jpgclark images from flickr One last shot of Young's Oxy, showing a bit of Young's Leroy to the left: http://waterandpower.org/A%20Histori...Hotel_1910.jpgdwp |

The only give-away that this is the same building are the cartouches that have survived. (I've circled the two framing the front entrance) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/742/rCIFbM.jpg cdm6003 Here's the interior of the store taken on the same day in 1941. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/631/199f09.jpg cdm6004 ...the last thing this shop needed was a patterned Linoleum floor. __ |
anyone recognize this fire-damaged Victorian?
-no address (undated) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/540/yJ9KaE.jpg old file of mine/possibly ebay I can barely make out the numbers on the ROOMS sign...is it 1337? __ |

What street do you think this building is on? Would you agree the Stuart K. Oliver house is roughly parallel to this building, hence likely on the same street? The Zelda was on Grand Avenue. What street do you think we're looking at here? If you want to fish around in my photo-stream, search 'Zelda' you'll find maybe twenty images of the Zelda or of the vacant lot after the 4th Street cut wiped it clean. Just sayin' |

Smile..you're on Candid........
Quote:
According to Nicholas Jeeves, who wrote an extensive article on the topic, by the 17th century “it was a well-established fact that the only people who smiled broadly, in life and in art, were the poor, the lewd, the drunk, the innocent, and the entertainment people.” Another reason is that if you believed in the Bible, you were sober and serious.....and smiling was the opposite of that. |
