Here I am in Champaign, Illinois at college [it was called Campus Town]....back in March 1964. Snow still on the ground....wearing my shiny ROTC shoes. Yes, it was cold that winder but it didn't bother me.....youth. John Street is to the right....I lived on third St. That's my car parked in the alley. The house is gone but the alley is still there. Hope all is ok with your mom ER. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7462/...0021e9_b_d.jpghttps://farm5.staticflickr.com/4681/...ed268b_o_d.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7462/...0021e9_b_d.jpg |

Both of the following are said to be from the book Both Sides of Sunset, 2015.
This is at Crescent Heights and Sunset Blvd. looking north east. Lots of bare feet here. The guy resembles actor Paul Sands to me. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLBysqnUIAAql-o.jpg "No right turn - LA 1966" Photo: Elliott Erwitt This is not too far away at La Cienega and Santa Monica Blvd. two years earlier. http://78.media.tumblr.com/1c8fd17c6...b5lo9_1280.jpgBruce Davidson Caption: Los Angeles. 1964. Man dressed as Native American selling gas on La Cienega Blvd., LA. This is on the southeast corner of La Cienega Blvd. and Santa Monica Blvd. I don't recall ever hearing about a gas station located right there. :shrug: Across the street is the La Cienega Lanes bowling alley, at one time advertised as Art Linkletter's La Cienega Lanes. |

1950s Original Slide
This signage looks like something you'd come across in an old black n' white film noir. (at night with the headlights on) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/ir9p2r.jpg ebay What highway would you have to traveling on to see this fork in the road? I'm curious to see if that rock thingy is still there. |

West side of St. Andrews Place at 5th Street
In this contemporary view, from left to right are a sliver of 533 South St. Andrews, The San Andrea at 515,
then 4254 W. 5th on the SW corner of 5th Street. You can see a little of 5th Street, but the apartment buildings north of 5th are obscured by trees: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psd1mkfbvi.jpg October 2016 GSV Here we have roughly the same view, undated and titled only "View of homes on St. Andrews Place, Los Angeles." However, I was able to figure out that from left to right are 521, 517, 509, 503, 457, and 447 S. St. Andrews (with a bit of 439's roof above 447). Perhaps c. 1915 would be a fair guess at the date: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psehb91kj7.jpg UCLA/Islandora This is an enlargement of 509, 503 (on SW corner), 457 (with prominent chimney on NW corner), 447, and the bit of 439's roof. In the extreme lower right corner of the photo you can see a white pole with street signs. I couldn't find when 457 was built, but, redesignated 4255 W. 5th St., it was demolished in 1964; 447 stood from 1913 to 1958: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0jgiwnlh.jpg Here, similarly magnified, are 521 (built 1912) and 517 (its build date is unclear, but there is an April 27, 1916, building permit for some remodeling): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2x9lnh3m.jpg This is a not especially crisp image of 517 from the February 2, 1919, Los Angeles Times: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...1.jpg~original ProQuest via LAPL 1921 Sanborn Map with north on the left . . . the empty lot to the right of 521 will be filled by 525-527 S. St. Andrews (building permit dated 10/6/21; demo permit dated 3/1/86). On the corner, 503 was built in 1913 and stood until 1960 or 1961 (its replacement is now designated 4254 W. 5th). The BP for 509 is dated September 24, 1912: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6gio31kr.jpg ProQuest via LAPL The demo permits for 521, 517, and 509 S. St. Andrews -- which were replaced by The San Andrea at 515 -- are all dated May 28, 1957. The BP for The San Andrea (originally 40 units, but now listed with 34 by some sources) is dated July 17, 1957. It's funny to me that I was able to ID that particular old photo, because for two or three years when I was a kid, my grandparents managed 515 S. St. Andrews. Their apartment was where the red dot is on the photo below. The round end of the pool at left is the deep end, where I found it fun to swim down and hold my hand against the suction of the drain. The pressure hurt my ears, but of course I kept on doing it: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psrwhnyxuq.jpg Google aerial |

Is that the Vickrey-Brunswig building on the right on Main St. across from the Plaza? _________ |
Excellent post FW. such a SHAME to lose these beautiful houses.

Anyone photographs of you and your grandparents at 515 S. St. Andrews? |
Don't you think naming an apartment building after a fault line is tempting fate? :koko:
