Are we sure the building with the arches is part of the Rookwood? [QUOTE=oldstuff;6650694] Quote:

:previous: You're right GW. It's the building next to the Hotel Rookwood.

HossC and Flyingwedge, you just helped me solve a mystery.
Here's that 'milk bottle' I posted a couple weeks ago looking for the location. (note the gas holder at right) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128.../843/ypto0.jpg ebay Quote:

A little more gasometer detail
The 1927 Sanborn Maps show those gasometers southwest of Slauson/Western -- one was 300 feet high! (there's some overlap; the Compressor building is on both maps, but is labeled on only the lower one):

The bottle must have belonged to the Crescent Creamery as shown on the 1927 Sanborn Map below (by the 1950 map it had become Arden Farms). Ruthelen Street at top runs parallel to and between Gramercy and St. Andrews: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...4.jpg~original LAPL |
:previous: That's great FW, now I have a name to go with the bottle. :) -Crescent Creamery Company.
(I'm surprised the milk bottle-water tower isn't designated on the sanborn map) __ By the way, I love gasometers, but that damn milk bottle was stuck in my craw. |

:previous: Now I'm embarrassed.

It looks like Crescent Creamery became Arden Farms Inc as here's the milk bottle atop their building at 1900 W Slauson in 1932. The full photoset also includes pictures of their delivery trucks.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rdenFarms1.jpg USC Digital Library The sign on the side indicates that they were exclusive milk suppliers to the 1932 Olympic athletes. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rdenFarms2.jpg Detail of picture above. The 1932 CD lists the business at 1914 W Slauson as Western Dairy Products Inc. The Arden Farms Inc name first appears in the 1936 CD (below) and by 1938 the Western Dairy Products is only mentioned as a former name. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rdenFarms3.jpg LAPL I went back to the 1954 aerial, and judging by the shadow, I think the milk bottle is still there. The view below is a little closer than the one I posted earlier, but covers some of the same area. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...stern1954b.jpg Historic Aerials |
:previous: Oh, that's really cool HossC. The shadow of the bottle gave itself away.
-and it's still there as late as 1954. __ |

ETA: I see the building does have lightwells in addition to its unusual arches, but still. Without modern A/C any large hotel or apartment house probably needed as much exposure to light and air as possible. |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...tAdams1954.jpg Historic Aerials I guess the house we're discussing is the one shown here in plot #223a. I wonder when S Manhattan Place was put through, because there's no sign of it on this 1921 map. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...tAdams1921.jpg www.historicmapworks.com |
Anyone recognize the Dellamore? It was evidently somewhere in LA. It has a nice sharpening wheel to sharpen carving knives. Blind mice beware!
