More adventures in Eaton Wash!
Let's talk about cannon: https://i.postimg.cc/4ynLYd0h/Eaton-...26-Capture.jpg LA Times, 8/26/1913 Returning to the subject some years later (much edited; the "Rust" referred to is Edward H. Rust): https://i.postimg.cc/Y9x0v2Fk/Eaton-...-1939-12-4.jpg LA Times, 12/4/1939 A picture with the article, showing the two smaller pieces: https://i.postimg.cc/J7Ptmnm5/Eaton-...-1939-12-4.jpg LA Times, 12/4/1939 The largest piece was given to Mission San Gabriel, where it remains: https://i.postimg.cc/CL55KgxT/Eaton-Wash-Cannon.jpg Photo by John Stanton, from http://www.fortwiki.com/File:Mission...briel_-_21.jpg |

:previous: Those are some great stories, odinthor. Thanks for posting them. :) a mystery location This building seems somewhat familiar but I don't remember anything about a "Double-Cola & Kist" Bottling Company. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/pGNDNh.jpg eBay Here's how it appeared on eBay. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/HJVeUn.jpg eBay But where in W. Covina? :shrug: . . |

We have seen this view of Westwood many times but this particular slide has an extra 'something'. (do you see it?) Look before you scroll down. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/6F8Hau.jpg eBay . .like a man climbing the tower! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/s2CvCE.jpg detail .........................................................................................................Ta Dah! . |
Mystery Photo Location Found
Here's e_r's photo again, lightened a bit to show more of the building in the lower right corner:
https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag..._-_lighter.jpg The building in the lower right corner of e_r's photo (under the Seaboard sign) with the decorative white squares was a Salvation Army facility at the SEC of 9th St. (now James M. Wood Blvd.) and Cottage Place, shown here in 1931. The side of the building we see in e_r's photo is on the right here, along Cottage Place: https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...2_-_darker.jpg DW-1931-12-24-139~10.TIF @ USC Digital Library At upper left you can see the de-lettered Richfield Tower (so, c. 1968-69), then moving down and to the right is the Tishman Building and then the Seaboard sign on top of the Barker Brothers building at 7th and Figueroa/Flower. At bottom, just left of center, a car is exiting the Harbor Fwy at 9th Street: https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...001_-_Copy.jpg DW-F1997_4450-ISLA @ USC Digital Library Now we're looking south from the Richfield Tower in 1930, with the roof of the Barker Brothers building at bottom. The angled street we see is Figueroa, and the Salvation Army building on 9th Street has a red dot: https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...UQ1mSGRAMQ.jpg DW-SD-03-203-01_01 @ USC Digital Library This 1940 aerial looks NE and shows the Barker Brothers and Salvation Army buildings. It looks like e_r's photo was taken from west across Cottage Place from the Salvation Army facility. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...004_-_Copy.jpg dw-1940-01-00-011_02 @ USC Digital Library Here's the 1950 Sanborn Map showing 9th Street and Cottage Place, with the Salvation Army building at upper right. LADBS records indicate the building stood from 1923-70. A new Salvation Army facility was built on the site in 1980: https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...8/image003.jpg ProQuest via Los Angeles Public Library |
THANK YOU, Flyingwedge! :worship:...I'm truly impressed by the discovery.
A few days ago I lightened the dark area as well but still couldn't find the building even though I looked and looked for it. I didn't think we'd ever locate the building. . |

The talk of Double Cola and West Covina got me thinking about this amazing photo of the Huddle coffee shop (1957, Armet & Davis) at the Eastland shopping center that was recently listed on eBay.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b057264e_b.jpg eBay The Synthetrix site has a wonderful history of all of the Paul Cummins Huddle restaurants: Huddle Bundy 3030 Bundy Drive Huddle La Cienega 163 N. La Cienega Huddle Crenshaw Inglewood Huddle Pasadena Hastings Ranch Huddle Downtown Los Angeles Huddle Palm Springs http://www.synthetrix.com/huddle/hwc01.jpg http://www.synthetrix.com/huddle/HWC01.htm Cummins also owned the Sports Page, The Gay 90s and the Roaring 20s in Beverly Hills. http://www.synthetrix.com/huddle/Paulmodel.jpg http://www.synthetrix.com/huddle/preface.htm His son, also named Paul Cummins, started the Crossroads school in Santa Monica. https://myhero.com/P_Cummins_2014 https://www.xrds.org/about/history It had me looking back at this post from 2011 with some other great photos of Huddle Eastland.

Thanks for the location i.d. Ossrae.
The article at the link references "the famous Meline Estate Gardens in Pasadena".....oddly, there is virtually nothing online regarding this estate. Presumably, the gardens were owned by developer Frank L. Meline, a significant figure in the 1920's property boom.....excerpt from here: https://homesteadmuseum.blog/2019/07...est-july-1926/ "He’s a forgotten name today, but, in the 1920s, there was no more successful real estate developer in a booming greater Los Angeles than Frank L. Meline. Simultaneously, Meline’s powerhouse firm developed such prominent places as Bel-Air, Brentwood, Beverly Hills, and a host of others in the region. He expanded his enterprise to form The Meline Bond and Mortgage Company, an unusual move for a residential developer in that he could issue his own mortgages for projects developed by his realty company." Frank Meline from his obituary in the L.A. Times, 8/19/1944..... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds |

Good sleuthing, Ossrae...(and riichkay :)) There's a possibility that we've seen this photograph sometime in the past. (it's a reprint currently on eBay) It shows a small parking lot in the "Mexican Quarter" of Los Angeles in the 1930s. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/bQAuM9.jpg eBay note that it's a 'lighted' lot. (one lightbulb) The main reason I posted the photo is the flag flying on the roof of the building to the left. (the building is facing the next block) I think. This one. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/hy2YQq.jpg detail I've stared at it for quite some time & for the life of me I can't figure out what it represents. Perhaps if we figure out the flag we can figure out location of the lot. (other than "Mexican Quarter") I'm also curious about the car with the hood ornament that looks like a duck skimming a pond. This one. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/ZaQ9PP.jpg detail And I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the adobe wall. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/EM57m3.jpg detail Just imagine how old it is! It's no doubt from the earliest days of Los Angeles. . |

Cornell, California... I don't believe I've ever heard of Cornell, CA, especially because I just found out it's located in the Santa Monica Mountains. South of Westlake Village...2 1/2 miles north of Malibu; west of the Paramount Ranch. (Which explains the shooting location info.) I can't find any photos or info about the Cornell, CA, railroad station, but near the Paramount Ranch are roads called Cornell Rd. and Cornell Way...I also ff'd through the movie on youtube from the link provide by riichkay and I didn't even see any train station scenes, interior or exterior. :shrug: |

Of all of the restaurants we've covered on Restaurant Row on La Cienega Blvd., I find no posts that talk about this Huddle Restaurant at 163 N. La Cienega. http://www.synthetrix.com/huddle/Huddle2Rend.jpg Armet & Davis. It opened in 1952. The #2 refers to it being the second Huddle Restaurant opened after the first one on Bundy. http://www.synthetrix.com/huddle/hlc...a-Images/2.jpg The above photo is taken across Clifton Way, with La Cienega Blvd on the left. http://www.synthetrix.com/huddle/hlc...a-Images/4.jpg http://www.synthetrix.com/huddle/hlc...a-Images/9.jpg Currently, 163 N. La Cienega is a business called The Wig Fairy and a restuarant called Gyu-Kaku. Thanks to Snix: Above photos from this link, where you can find more info and several other photos, interior and exterior of the Restaurant Row location: http://www.synthetrix.com/huddle/lacienega01.htm |

P.S.: Eleven years ago, E_R, did post a photo (link below) of Paul Cummins "Sports Page," which apparently was short-lived and then turned into The Roaring 20's. I guess nowadays you'd have to write it: The Roaring 20s. https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/sho...postcount=5450 |
