Corinthian Order

Although they can be very pretty, I find French Neoclassical-inspired buildings very odd-looking here, although I don't mind them at all on the Riviera. West 15th & Magnolia: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Z...302%2520AM.jpg gsv One of our more prominent examples of the short-lived Corinthian craze is Parkinson's confection on 6th & Olive, later streamlined by the same architect: http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/5364/1909s.jpg usc digital |

Trailer camp, Temple and Alvarado Streets, 1937 A unique city within a city, a trailer park recently set up in Los Angeles is shown at Temple and Alvarado streets on October 18, 1937. It's a new way of life for people tired of living in houses. LAPL http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8324/8...e904d836_o.jpg Trailer camp, Temple and Alvarado Streets,1937 (2) The trailer "city" has its own messengers and newsboys. Freddy Smith, who works after school, delivers a magazine to Don Haller on March 27, 1943. Nice bike. An even better helmet. Reminds me of George Hanson in Easy Rider. "Oh, I got a helmet!" LAPL http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8471/8...9b02e54f_o.jpg Trailer camp, Temple and Alvarado, 1937 (3) Photograph caption dated October 18, 1937 reads, "Former vaudeville artists who have found new glamour in trailer life, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Vardon, seated, operators of the trailer camp, are shown outside their traveling home with Mary Wilson. Vardon says the life is an "exciting change from the usual routine.'" I see the Vardons are posing with their 'Zim-Air'. And a beautiful coach it is! First Class all the way. (I'm bummed that the Examiner art department painted out the Foster & Kleiser billboard in the background) LAPL |

CASIGNS or Hollywood Graham, I wanted to ask you about this sign/signal. http://imageshack.us/a/img825/8508/a...lpasadena1.jpg unknown Then I realized this unique traffic signal has appeared earlier in the thread. here by sopas_ej. Pasadena at Colorado Blvd. and Fair Oaks Ave. http://imageshack.us/a/img577/9785/a...opashuntin.jpg http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=4403 GaylordWilshire mentions it was built by Waterhouse Co. in Alhambra http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=4405 this 'bango-shaped' signal posted by GW includes the name of the street, La Brea Ave. http://imageshack.us/a/img51/6638/aabsignalsspgw.jpg as well as instructions..."No U Turn". So do either of you know any other details about the sign and how it worked? Was it like a semaphore except enclosed in a circular frame? What parts lit up? I also notice that the red & green lights (I'm guessing the color) are horizontal and beneath the circle in the first two photos and vertical and inside the circle in the last photo. __ |

I also have a question for CASIGNS.
What is the dangerous obstruction -- in front of the Auto Club HQ of all places -- in this 1930 photo of Adams and Figueroa? I apologize if it's been explained here before. http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps274abd70.jpg USC Digital Library (http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/si...id/90562/rec/1) |
