I used to think that maybe that location was somewhere on Fair Oaks south of Monterey Road, looking at those river rock banister thingies that the kids are standing on. In that area, there's a post-WWII-era apartment complex that was obviously built on what was once the lot of a grand old house or estate or something, obvious because of the old river rock staircase that still exists.

sopas, your GSV reminds me of what was there--my little story on the Butterfield house is here: http://losangeleshistory.blogspot.co...histories.html https://s7.postimg.cc/4qz6e3nez/HLAsolar4_FB.jpg https://s7.postimg.cc/5t9cwqdyz/HLAsolarwalltoday.jpg |

Nice! I realize that as of this month, I've been living in South Pasadena for 20 years... and I feel I'm still learning about its history, and what used to stand where, etc. Thank you very much for that link. :) |

"The 1956 CD lists the L.A. Camera Exchange across the street from 1638 at 1623 N Cahuenga Boulevard. Could this be the building in the Weegee shot?" HOSSC https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/aWgnNf.jpghttps://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/IM5FPK.jpg ICP.ORG and GSV I never would have guessed the window in the old weegee pic was facing an alley. Now if only we knew someone who could superimpose the 1951 photo onto the side window of the building. his initials are S and C. (that 'fade in' 'fade out' maneuver comes to mind) I located another photo of weegee at the camera exchange. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/v7vwQ9.jpg icp.org UNKNOWN PHOTOGRAPHER c.1951 I wonder if they borrowed the "weegee" mannequin from a movie studio because it looks alot like Edgar G. Robinson. psst, they spelled mannequins wrong. (unless Decter was just being clever) We'll never know. _ |
Thanks for your help on the Marsh/Fair Oaks photograph GW. I really appreciate it.

Here's a bit of tangential information relating to the Marsh home in South Pasadena.

You're absolutely right CaliNative. I hadn't thought of that.
I wonder how the depression affected these girl's lives. |

Googling her full name brings up some examples of her work. She went abroad in 1900, settling in Paris and studying with Whistler. A photo of her chrysanthemum painting can be found online. |

Thank you so much. The window fits perfectly. The same neon framed the front window as well so that was one spectacularly lit little corner. I thought the edge of the gray wall in the foreground might cause you some trouble but I see that it didn't. |
At first I didn't realize the 2nd pic of the chrysanthemums was Duvall's actual painting!
Thank you odinthor and oldstuff. __ Here's a bit more information. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/3...921/1Qibbx.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/3...921/DItNfD.jpg Independent Spirits https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/cgS6OX.jpg Fannie Eliza Duvall [c.1897] I wonder if this painting ended up at San Juan Capistrano Mission? _________________________________________________________ Allow me to venture far away from Los Angeles for one brief moment. I love that Duvall's chrysanthemum painting was displayed at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair (my favorite worlds fair by far) The fair's Fine Arts Gallery is the only surviving building from the fair. Today it's known as the Museum of Science and Industry. < < < CLICK the link for GSV aerial view. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/kijO40.jpg CHICAGOLOGY |
..and speaking of mannikins [sic].
WeeGee in Los Angeles. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/GSAPTx.jpg icp.org I bet he's on his way to Mickey Ward's L.A. Camera Exhange. ('Edgar G. Robinson' must be in the trunk) _____ |

For what it's worth, mannikin is an accepted spelling of the word: https://i.imgur.com/RdApOeP.jpg Dictionary.com also lists the word mannikin. |
