1933 (release date) http://portlaarchives.files.wordpres...pg?w=497&h=444http://portlaarchives.files.wordpres...pg?w=497&h=444 Cavalcade may be worth viewing from an NLA perspective. Evidently, this "award winning" film captured many Port of LA exteriors. http://portlaarchives.com/2014/03/12...f-los-angeles/ http://portlaarchives.files.wordpres.../03/0522-b.jpghttp://portlaarchives.files.wordpres.../03/0522-b.jpg http://portlaarchives.files.wordpres...22-b-copy1.jpghttp://portlaarchives.files.wordpres...22-b-copy1.jpg http://www.jimusnr.com/Cavalcade1.jpghttp://www.jimusnr.com/Cavalcade1.jpg |

The appearance of the Cavalcade billboard in the Fox Studios panorama is grand. The Hollywood Blvd. panorama has such great detail. I'm obviously wrong, but I thought the Bank Building on the northeast corner of Hollywood and Highland was already there when the Chinese Theatre was built. Does anyone know the date it was constructed? I'm trying to figure out what that tower structure is being built that Godzilla highlighted. A couple inches to the left of it appears to be the Hollywood Athletic Bldg. Nice look at the Hollywood Hotel and on the left, the buildings that are now known as Yamashiro's and the Magic Castle, I believe. And the side of the Christie Hotel looks as mundane in 1927 as it does now. Was this photograph taken from the Roosevelt Hotel? Lots of things to look at...the students on the Hollywood High School athletic field. Thanks for doing that, HossC, and first posting it Godzilla. Quote:

"In 1921, the parish paid $75,000 for the land on Sunset Boulevard that is the current home of the church. Benefiting from a Hollywood real estate boom, the church later sold its existing property on Hollywood Boulevard for $300,000. The new church and school on Sunset Boulevard were designed by Thomas Franklin Power. Power designed the Blessed Sacrament School, which opened in 1923, in an Italian Renaissance style. When the new school opened, its enrollment was 370 students. Power next turned his attention to the new church, which he adapted from the Basilican style of the Italian Renaissance style. The roof, however, was made of tile instead of the flat roof typical of Roman churches. Power designed the interior with flanking arches to be reminiscent of the San Paolo and St. Clement Basilicas in Rome. The new church was dedicated in June 1928. With its 223-foot chimes tower, ornate exterior and seating for 1,400 people, Blessed Sacrament quickly became a Hollywood landmark." The panorama is dated 1927, so that fits with the 1928 dedication. It's right next to Crossroads of the World on Sunset. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...dSacrament.jpg Google Maps Quote:

Thank you HossC. I am traveling with an overtaxed laptop harddrive. I have now inadvertently eliminated portions of the program you mentioned that "may" have permitted stitching. On top of that, you are obviously capable of a mars mission while I am still trying to fly when it comes to electronic photos .
Before incurring yours and others wrath, care to give a few other significant "extra-wides" a go? Obviously, anyone is welcome to share. Not to further offend anyone, but for my money, bigger is necessarily better. At some point in the not-to-distant future we may be regretting the lack of resolution. The details often reveal hidden (to me) treasures. The following have been on my "stitch list" for a while. (There are a few more.) Republic Studios, 1942.

with overlaps and pasting them together. The GSV panorama of South Vermont which I posted recently was a different matter, and I was quite happy to let the software do all the tricky distorting and blending to get the separate images to fit together! How do other members feel about the size of these panoramas? I'm aiming for a maximum of 4000px wide because I feel it gives a good trade-off between image detail and loading time. Quote:

During prohibition, The Uplifter's, an offshoot of the prominent Los Angeles Athletic Club downtown, established a social club and and ranch in Rustic Canyon.
The relative isolation of the area provided an ideal retreat for the wealthy and powerful members of the club, who primarily lived in the upscale areas (at the time) near downtown and Pasadena, to indulge their wet appetites without undo notice. const. 1922 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...537/lhoMeF.jpg FIL/B http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...745/tHQR8V.jpg ebay Luckily, the clubhouse has survived. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...538/9j74VD.jpg wikimapia The current sign over Latimer Road. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/661/nTmUQA.jpg the courtyard http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...673/chq6ZV.jpg inthecanyon.com nice details http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...906/fH9wgA.jpg RCRC A scenario with many interesting facts on the Uplifter's Club.

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...wiftAndCo1.jpg eBay USC has loads of Swift & Company pictures, many showing cakes. There are also a few of delivery trucks, and this one titled "Exterior of Vernon plant showing row of tanks, Swift & Company, Vernon, CA, 1931". The word "Golden" on the Golden West Salad Oil tank can be seen on e_r's picture. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...wiftAndCo2.jpg USC Digital Library There was no address given other than Vernon, but it didn't take long to spot the storage tanks in this 1948 view. All the large storage tanks on the left had gone by 1972, and the entire site had made way for the current buildings by 1980. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...wiftAndCo3.jpg Historic Aerials A 1935 billboard for Formay. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...wiftAndCo4.jpg Detail of picture at USC Digital Library Parfay was another Swift & Company product.
