The chandelier at the building is the one that's always been there. It's not a replica ... sort of. In the late 1930s, when the building was being constructed, the owners of 'I. Magnin' went to Paris and saw an enormous Lalique chandelier --the largest that Lalique ever made-- on display at an exhibition. Lalique was not willing to sell the original, but offered to make another one for the Magnin store: it would be very expensive and would take nearly a year to complete. The Magnins (via Myron Hunt) came up with another idea: at the exhibition, they quietly sketched the original chandelier and commissioned a Los Angeles glassmaker to copy it. Sure enough, it's that copy which has hung in the building since 1939. |
One last post from me about the Winnet's/Candy's,the dedication of St. Vincent Court.Mr Winnet doesnt look too happy....

Chuckaluck, do you realize your photos are showing up chopped up again? I think the last time it was happening
you didn't realize it because they looked normal on your computer. Quote:

(Although it now occurs to me the the signage maybe from before the time the Senator was first built - property records give build dates of 1911 & 1994 for the Dewey and Senator. I found nothing on the old Senator) I thought Chuckaluck posted details from the other photo to highlight interesting areas. Ir didn't occur to me that the photo might have broken up (?) |

FWIW, the older system I am using has what appears to be 20" monitor, can't remember what graphics are employed. Not as an excuse, I recall Prophet did not seem to have any viewing problems. Curious what others who have no viewing problems are using. T2? Regarding the Senator, it was obvious to me something MAJOR had occurred. Leafing through this thread, the notion of removing building tops, sides and fronts is not unheard of. The indents in the new building may be the best indication of a new build versus a substantial remodel - in the absence of decent aerial or leftside view. T2's theory that the Dewey's advertising predated the Senator makes sense. Hard to tell, but the early version of the Senator seemed closer to the street than the neighboring Dewey. This may have had something to do with its remodel or rebuild. |

I know a lot of you native Los Angelenos remember backyard incinerators. (they've been mentioned time and again on the thread)
but Mr. Cramp's incinerator is on steroids. http://imageshack.us/a/img543/6685/a...erator1954.jpg press photo/ebay http://imageshack.us/a/img600/7623/a...erator1954.jpg __ |
The sign in front of the 'Arcade Palm' finally comes into focus.
http://imageshack.us/a/img833/9201/aaaneg0308c.jpg negative found on ebay (on an old cd of mine dated 2007) I can make out 'NOT ALLOWED'. Kind of disappointing...I was expecting something a little more, shall we say, profound. :( Can anyone make out the rest? |

Backyard Incinerators....extinct relic of the past.

Engineer Cramp, although well meaning, was wasting his time because these annoying contraptions were outlawed around 1955. Someone may know the exact date. Some of our neighbors did not have a proper concrete incinerator...they just used an old 55 gal. oil drum. Everyone also had a nasty, newspaper lined, garbage can for the wet stuff. Thanks ER for this post, you certainly come up with cool photos....memories for sure! |
