Here's a Milton J. Black house I don't remember seeing here before-- http://jpg1.lapl.org/pics29/00034201.jpgLAPL The LAPL's caption: "Residence of Miss Dolores del Rio. Home is built on a corner lot located on Outpost Drive, in Hollywood. Built in 1928. Designer: Milton Black. Architect: J. Ross Castendyck." (Not sure what's going on with the "designer" vs "architect" info.) https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-b...2520PM.bmp.jpg More shots, similarly watermarked, here: http://www.hollywoodphotographs.com/...tes/?pg=9&r=24 Still there: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9...622%2520PM.jpgGSV More Milton J Black from the vaults: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=2934 http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=1941 |
slide/no date
http://imageshack.us/a/img854/8374/kfh4.jpgebay Can anyone tell me where this slide was taken? color adjusted http://imageshack.us/a/img545/731/0mm2.jpgebay I'm guessing that is early highway construction in the foreground. The 101 or the Harbor? __ |

I reckon that this was "one" of "four" clock faces. Not sure how many clocks currently adorn Central LA Superior Court at 111 N Hill. :) Now my curiosity is piqued regarding what was housed in the structure above the clocks as well as other areas in the same tower without windows. Must have gotten warm without air conditioning. What happened to the (presumed) eagle perched atop the flag pole? Any special composition to the pointed roof structures, e.g., gilding or copper cladding? http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5270/5...8ae20cfb_o.jpghttp://farm6.staticflickr.com/5270/5...8ae20cfb_o.jpg |

Any vintage pictures of 446-448 S Broadway, based on the 1913 LA Times above?
Currently, there is a more modern building covering that address - The 440 Broadway Mall. |

(Why at all if so much is lost?) |

Excellent help rick_m! -much appreciated. :) I wish we could read what's written on the back of the construction shanty. __ |
I found this on an old cd of mine. I have no information other than the date, 1952.

A reminder that Chaplin's backlot was much more than than its current footprint. The grounds included the large home occupied by brother Sydney and, not surprisingly, included tennis courts and stables. At some point exterior sets were converted into sound stages. Quote:

(below). Probably of little consequence, but it's not clear whether this was part of the backlot or the Sydney Chaplin residence.
