In the neighborhood of the White Spot Realty Co, whose sign if not building was seen recently below, is the City Spa...have we seen this before? This decrepit building seems to hide a modern den of indulgence...well, while the website is very up-to-date, it actually seems to go nowhere, maybe some hipster's failed idea of old LA making a comeback: http://www.lacityspa.com/ https://static1.squarespace.com/stat...g?format=1000w At one point it was the Royal Health Club; before that, it was the Pico Steam Bath; I thought the building might be older than 1956: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/cI...366-h768-rw-nohttps://lh3.googleusercontent.com/sy...366-h768-rw-nohttps://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Rc...366-h768-rw-no |

I posted some Julius Shulman pictures of apartment buildings in Redondo Beach about a week ago (see here). Here are two more buildings in "Job 4670: Jerome White, Apartment Building (Redondo Beach, Calif.), 1970".
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original Just like the last set, these apartments have large numbers on the front. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original This one has distinctive wide wooden balconies. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original Although it's not a twin, the other building shares several of the design details. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...7.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute Seeing 2213 and 2215 together in a set, I originally assumed that these buildings were next door to each other. Starting in the area where Bristolian pointed us to last time, I found the first apartments at 2213 Voorhees Avenue. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...8.jpg~original GSV 2215 Voorhees Avenue is not the second building. I initially wondered if the building from the last photograph had been demolished, but then I checked Historic Aerials and found that the current building has been there since at least 1972. In the end, I found the second building a few streets away at 2215 Nelson Avenue. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...9.jpg~original GSV |

Quick change lighting? Before and After. Since source dates all of these images November 10, 1937, the new lighting was installed on the same day, or the images were all printed on the same day. Strangely, not so sure the big arrow is an aesthetic improvement rather than a gaudy eye catcher. The new hand painted advertisements probably wouldn't last long with some good Santa Ana winds. For some reason source indicates Market was at Termino Avenue and Anaheim Street, Long Beach. It seems fairly obvious that the original structure is still present at 200 West Anaheim Street. November 1937 - Termino Market, 200 West Anaheim Street, Long Beach. http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/o...q.png~originalhttp://hdl.huntington.org/cdm/single...coll2/id/31579 A side order of arrow?

I've had the following two 'mystery' photographs for quite some time. I'm almost certain I found them on eBay.
The information I have is quite vague. "Construction, Los Angeles Calif." http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/bd18Rv.png eBay At first I thought it might be the framework for a Drive-In movie screen. That is, until I realized there was a second photograph! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/4ObhqH.jpg eBay As you can see by the structures on the right, this appears to be a studio backlot. And judging by the machinery I'd say the 1930s. As of yet, I haven't been able to figure out which studio. I thought one of you here on NLA might recognize the structure and then we could go from there. __ |
Nothing says romance like a date to the La Brea Tar Pits.

We've had a few Lloyd Wright houses from Julius Shulman recently, so now it's time for a John Lautner house. This is "Job 3494: Sheats House (Beverly Hills, Calif.), 1963". That ladder looks pretty precarious.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original This shot is looking back the other way from near the pool. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original A '60s hanging chair. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original There are two similar images from this angle, so I picked one. It shows the rather impressive views. I think the window above the table can be opened. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute Often called the Sheats-Goldstein House, you'll find it at 10104 Angelo View Drive. There's an article at la.curbed which includes the picture and text below, as well as links to their previous posts with more pictures. The house has made several on-screen appearances including The Big Lebowski. The Sheats House was built in 1963 for UCLA professor Paul and artist Helen Sheats and their five children. They asked Lautner to give the pool a "camping under the stars" feel, so he stuck Old Fashioned glasses into the concrete roof above; Helen wanted to be able to see the kids swimming, which is why there are windows into the pool from the master bathroom. But, maybe unsurprisingly, the Sheats moved out just a few years after the house was finished.http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original Elizabeth Daniels/la.curbed.com The house is now "surrounded by a tropical jungle, which requires the attention of four full-time gardeners and a landscape architect". The tennis court can be seen on the left. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original Google Maps |
:previous: Excellent post Hoss.
I've seen quite a few photographs of this house but never from the angle shown below (the giant silver 'shard' shape is pretty severe from this angle) Quote:
Here's a set of floor plans. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...921/01EgFi.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u9voRcLhZU...TEIN_PLANS.jpg and the seating arraignment in the living room http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...922/YBGrdA.jpg The couches are even visible in the floor plans I posted above. __ |

If so, I think my two construction photos I posted yesterday predate that studio. Here's an aerial of NBC Studios. Not much there in 1952. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/QOB9T6.jpg http://www.scottymoore.net/NBCStudio4.html "In 1951 NBC purchased 19 acres of land from the city of Burbank and 30 acres from Jack Warner. It was originally an old riverbed wash and part of Warner Brothers Studio exterior backlot that was used infrequently." -Scotty Moore I could be wrong, but I think the machinery in my 'mystery' pic look much older than the 1950s. (see below) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...921/qyTz3N.jpg I may be way off the mark, I would guess the roller-machines were from the 1920s or 30s. There were numerous additional buildings by 1955 (aerial below) but I don't see an outdoor set that matches the 2 sepia pics. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/2dMpBR.jpg courtesy http://wesclark.com/burbankia And still no such set in this aerial dated 1962 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/pZPeP3.jpg http://www.scottymoore.net/NBCStudio4.html __ I know there was a set like Ed described at Paramount (1970 aerial below) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...921/phPsGo.jpg http://www.retroweb.com/tv_studios_and_ranches.html But the large 'backdrop' is attached to a structure that has a peaked roof with six large vents. close-up http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/C9mFBH.jpg detail For comparison, here's the second of my two mystery pics again. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/4ObhqH.jpg ebay __ update: I decided to included the other mystery pic as well. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/bd18Rv.png |

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...921/nuaCJ9.jpg lapl Mr. McFarland was the treasurer and business manager for the [I]Times Mirror Co. But I'm a bit confused by the address (which I believe would be the location of the bungalow) to denote residence, the directory usually has a 'r' or 'res', so what do they mean by 'r s e c'? (it's probably something obvious & I'm going to be embarrassed ) And as you can see, the streets are Arnold and Lucas Ave. Well,l I found Lucas Ave. in the 'Crown Hills' area between downtown and present-day MacAurthur Park, but the only Arnold Avenue I could find is west of the 405! -many miles away. __ |

Here's VIC! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/IToQU8.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/Muscle-Build...-/400801607975 I'm curious, was there really a Vic Tanny's location on Hollywood Boulevard, or was it just added for the film?

Here's another photo of the McFarland residence on the SE corner ("r s e c") of Lucas and Arnold from Los Angeles and Environs Illustrated (1894): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...x.jpg~original LAPL/Flyingwedge photo I will supplement t2's map -- Hi, t2! -- with the 1894 Sanborn, which shows Lucas and Arnold down near the lower left corner: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...p.jpg~original LAPL Fourth Street west of Lucas was realigned to the south in the early 1990s, and what is shown below as Miramar Street is 3rd Street on the 1894 map. So the McFarland house was on what is now the SE corner of Lucas and 3rd (formerly Arnold): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...c.jpg~original Googlemap |
