Corrected. Note source following image "1936."

HossC, thanks for the follow-up on the Helicab photograph. I liked the screen-grabs of Hickey & Boggs.
...but where do you think this helipad was located- Do you think it was the Statler? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...909/ns7YGB.jpg eBay I just noticed you can see the Union Oil Center at far right under the tail blades.----> __ |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original eBay Here's a detail from a USC image that they date at 1968. The Wellington is to the left of the Statler Hilton, and the Rex Arms is above the Wellington. Originally, the "Statler Hilton" signs were on the roofs of the arms on the west (the left of this image). In this picture, the lettering on the northern arm has been moved along to a different roof, and there's definitely a rectangular structure where it used to be. This would be the right location for the picture above. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original Detail of picture in USC Digital Library |
:previous: Great sleuthing HossC! You located the Statler helipad!
I thought it would have been on the opposite end of the roof on that raised portion.(where it's wider) __ below: This is an exciting find.

The Martinette might be the brick building on the right, but I'm not sure. detail / the Albany sign (Is that tall building in the distance the old Mayfair Hotel?) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...907/L5Rc07.jpg detail http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...540/j8XEy9.jpg LAPL http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...633/LIH2qP.jpg LAPL The Albany Apartments and the other building on the left (west) side of the street are gone. -replaced by the Loyola Law School Parking Garage. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...673/dHdGU4.jpg GSV ...and here's the east side of the 900 block of Albany Street. Pretty much the same! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/633/86A4Ka.jpg GSV _ |
Here is another interesting photograph of Albany Street from the same eBay seller.

(from the previous post) and the Collins Apt. (shown below) enlargement http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/908/vaU1Bj.jpg I'm a bit confused where the Collins fits into the scheme of things on Albany. (and I'm still not sure which building in the previous post was the Martinette) ___ *OK I figured it out. The Collins was lost to the Loyola Parking Garage. (I don't know why I was thinking it was across the street) And......after looking at both 1947 photographs, I believe the first photograph (below) was taken from the second tier of the Collins Apt. front porch!! -pretty cool huh :) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...540/9LovsJ.jpg |
It makes things so much easier when old photos come with locations. This is 1320 E 49th Street, 5-20-'07. The 1909 and 1911 CDs have a stove repairer called Jacob W King at that address. By 1915 he's just listed as a "repair man". Sadly, the little house is no longer there.
The reverse has a pencil-written transcription of the sign: "GASOLENE STOVES CLEANED. LAWN MOWERS SHARPED (SIC)" I think they actually spelled "Gasoline" correctly on the sign, but it does say "Sharped". http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...acobWKing1.jpg http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...acobWKing2.jpg eBay |

NLAers, I just came a second photograph with that roof-top sign in the distance. Luckily this one has the location. "3032 in Palm Place loop South Gate" http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/910/Dmmfus.jpg https://www.flickr.com/photos/30993133@N04/ By having the name, I was able to find this aerial by Harry Marnell. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...540/yGCa3E.jpg http://harrymarnell.net/palmplsky.jpg But I haven't located that market yet. __ |
:previous:
It's Serber's Foods, which is listed at 2620 Santa Ana Street, South Gate in the 1956, 1960 and 1973 CDs. This image is dated 1954. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rbersFoods.jpg ozfan22 on Flickr BTW. I've just found the original image in the Metro Library and Archive on Flickr, and it has the title "J line at Palm Pl. loop". |
:previous: Thanks for locating the market Hoss. I really appreciate it.
The sloped roof looks extremely large. I see 4 oversized vents and 2 extremely tall refrigeration units. (not to mention the top-heavy rooftop sign) Is it still standing? (I'll have to check it out) __ |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...Street1972.jpg Historic Aerials By 1980, the Serber's Foods building and the loop had become part of a parking lot for a new mall which was built on the original alignment of Santa Ana Street. Santa Ana Street still exists on this block, but it's now a much narrower street which zig-zags behind the mall. The loop, as marked on Harry Marnell's aerial, had moved to its current location south of Palm Place. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...Street1980.jpg Historic Aerials ---------------- Yesterday there was a message on PhotoBucket saying they were performing maintenance on the site, but everything appeared to work OK for me. Today I found that all 10 images that I uploaded yesterday were replaced by a small message saying the image had been moved or deleted. This problem only seems to have affected the images I uploaded yesterday, and I have re-uploaded them. I have since read that PhotoBucket has a limit of 2500 images per album, and I appear to have hit that limit. Seeing as Photobucket didn't warn me that I'd reached this limit, it's possible that other images have disappeared. If anyone spots any more images of mine replaced with a similar message, please PM me - thanks. |

This slide comes with the following details:
Location: 7th Av EB at Los Angeles St (Pacific Electric tracks curving to 6th & Main surface yard) Route: S Date: 1948 It's obviously E 7th Street, not 7th Avenue, but otherwise the location is correct. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original eBay The sign above the streetcar identifies the building on the left as one of the M J Connell Buildings. These now seem to be called the Cornell Buildings (see post #14670 and post #15886), but according to santeecourt.com, this corner building is now the Connell Building. Here's the view today. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original GSV ------------- Thanks for the extra information on Jacob W King, oldstuff. |

I've been working on another house-history site to go along with those on Berkeley Square, Wilshire Boulevard, and St. James Park--this one, on Fremont Place. There are now 19 in the "inventory," more to come: fremontplace.blogspot.com Facebook page HERE |
