https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/lW...=w1129-h629-no For a film set in San Francisco, they sure spend a lot of time in DTLA (with a brief outing to the Lincoln Heights Jail). For me they saved the best for last: One of the leads lounges on the Porsche on Upper 5th Street (!) w/ Central Library behind him: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/wq...=w1114-h616-no The other lead exits the IRL Engstrum Apartments at No. 623 (The Engstrum also appeared in "When a Stranger Calls", 1979): https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/nM...=w1127-h632-no The pair then drive east down Upper 5th Street to Grand: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/UG...=w1100-h633-no (* see below) ... and then make a 180 to drive west on 5th with the old Bunker Hill Steps on the right edge of frame (be still my beating heart) as the titles come up. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Is...=w1236-h613-no Notice the large overhead sign above W 5th. LOL. :previous: All screen grabs: Paramount The location in 1969: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/wb...g=w895-h362-no huntingtondigitallibrary (detail) previously posted by FW "*" in the photos above indicates the basement door to the Edison building.

"southern pacific rr line diesel engines locomotive #2146
Quote:
This is the Dexter (Street) Transfer interchange with ATSF where freight cars were exchanged between the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe. Note that the tower carries a pair of Santa Fe logos. Santa Fe was very fond of these slogans and updated them regularly. The locomotives referred to in the title (see ER's original post below) are heading up a cut of cars to be dropped off here for the Santa Fe which will take them down to their First street Yard. I worked this same job for the Santa Fe out of First Street Yard in 1964 at which time the safety slogan depicted a strange little manlike figure dressed in overalls called Axy Dent. On the roundhouse and shop buildings the slogan read Wipe out Axy Dent. On posters carried by the locomotives and cabooses it read Wipe out Axy Dent in Freight Shipment. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...09#post7523009 Cheers, Jack |

This shot shows the parking lot and building seen on the right side of the photo. The pier dates to 1909 and had an amusement park in the early days but none from 1930 until the current one, Pacific Park, opened in 1996. Excellent history of the pier on its official website: http://santamonicapier.org/history/ http://i.imgur.com/5Gh991w.png?1GSV I believe the vintage photo was taken from this property which is now the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel. I have not been able to identify the prior hotel but am quite sure its rates were lower than the $1050/night it will now cost you to stay at the Loews. http://i.imgur.com/lQKJDH8.png?2GSV |

That little place on the right on the corner is where Toff's was located. I don't know if it was Toff's then, though. By the way, I think you mean Orchid Ave., E_R. For those that don't know, this part of Orchid Ave. is no more, it's where the Dolby Theatre, formerly known as the Kodak Theatre, is located. I see that The Seven Little Foys is playing at the Paramount Theatre. Imdb says it opened June 23, 1955, in Los Angeles, California. |

E_R, I guess the film is in both color and black & white. Imdb has the running time different than yours, CBD. :shrug: THE WOMAN CHASER IMDB: Runtime: 90 min | 88 min (TV) Color: Black and White | Color |
It's Friday, so I thought we could head off to Malibu for today's Julius Shulman post. The subject is architect Welton Becket's own beach house. It's "Job 175: Wurdeman & Becket, Becket Beach House (Malibu, Calif.), 1948". I've picked six of the twelve images.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original A close-up of the covered eating area. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original The beach looks deserted. I checked the 1947 aerial view, and it only shows about six houses on the whole of this part of the beach. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original The kitchen and a look down the hallway. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original A cosy fire. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original I'll finish with this view of the covered eating area being used. Other than the utility pole, the view inland was still unspoiled (although they could probably see/hear cars on the PCH). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute I eventually found a reference to the house's location being on Trancas Beach, although I couldn't find an address. I've arrowed what I think is the Becket Beach House on this 1972 view. Notice how, while the number of beach houses has obviously increased, they're all still relatively modest in size. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...7.jpg~original www.californiacoastline.org Assuming I've got the right location, the site is now occupied by either the huge house with the red tiled roof or the slightly smaller one to the left. I believe the house I've marked with a red spot is a survivor. Those large beach houses might even be big enough for Marion Davies :). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...8.jpg~original Google Maps |
:previous:
The beach looks like it's narrowed a bit. Bolders have been added in front of the houses. |

er, I think you're right in your belief that this is an AB location. There are two men dressed as clerks in AB blue aprons, plus the sign may read, "Please leave shopping carts here. Thank you." There is a listing of an AB at 1122 E. Broadway in Glendale. https://goo.gl/maps/Q2UaxTfBzqJ2 I believe that the entrance around the corner on Chevy Chase Dr. is a possible location of the accident. There is a driveway, as in the photo, (which appears to be blocked with parking chocks), that lines up nicely with the small house across the street that looks similar to the one in the photo. https://goo.gl/maps/f9UgACYyh752 As you travel north on Chevy Chase, the building with the tall pylon is not visible, but it may have been demolished prior to the construction of John Marshall Elementary School, which opened in 1980. The hills in the background might be the College or San Rafael Hills, but there is little to hang your hat on in the photo view, as hills are ubiquitous in SoCal. P.S. Am trailing the current posts by 300 pages, but searched "Alpha Beta" and didn't see anything posted yet re the location. Upon further investigation, I may have the correct location this time: 209 Arbor Vitae, Inglewood. Although the house seems to be gone, the building with the pylon (Good Sheperd Lutheran church) exists today, as does the building adjacent to the parking lot. The light standard seems to be in the correct position, also. https://goo.gl/maps/pBYjWKXMpwq Always good to question your assumptions. |
