With apologies if we've seen this before...

Cushman's notes indicate the 1000 block of Wilshire. The only NW corner in this area that allows for these beauties to be sitting up on this embankment is at St. Paul Place which is no longer there. St. Paul Place would have been halfway between St. Paul Street and Bixel Street. Also the street sign clearly says Wilshire (see the 'Special') but less clearly I think the side street is named 'St. P...' Charles W.

"Jeffrey Gordon Weiss, 64, and his boyfriend, David Bailey, 28, present a sunny picture, ....,against the imposing backdrop of their new digs: a turn-of-the-century Colonial Revival mansion in Adams-Normandie. Known as the Beckett Residence, the house was deemed uninhabitable two years ago when it went on the market." |
Here's an impressive residence that once stood on the northeast corner of Wilshire Blvd. & St. Paul Avenue. (my NLA searches are coming up empty / mainly because I don't have the owner's name) I find it hard to believe we haven't seen this house before
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/661/I22wwc.jpg eBay http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...661/xNGPdM.jpg the site today. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...538/QO0g4q.jpg gsv __ This comes close to where the house was located. originally posted by HossC http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...673/p7iEJB.jpg I believe the house would be just out of camera range on the left* __ *OK, I just located the original of HossC's photo. I believe this detailed view shows the house in question. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...911/At5xiM.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/re...ll170/id/71316 detail http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...661/tJk9O1.jpg __ Hey, Thanks to everyone who worked together to locate the address of the former German Consulate. I had that photographer for a long time, and was never able to find the address. |

Actually, the railing is newly installed (when I saw newly, I'm comparing the current GSV to my shot of the house from some time last year): http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...psf5e7bd2c.jpgmy photo |

Until late 1903, 1015 Orange Street--changed to 1015 Wilshire two years before your Ebay shot--was the home of J. T. Fitzgerald, whose next house we've seen here many times before: http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/223...house3115w.jpg This shot is from a prior post of yours, ER: 5505 (Among others: 5510) |
:previous: -thanks GW.
I recently came across this interesting photograph. "Hitchhiking Sailors-Los Angeles" http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...540/bcxzZl.jpg posted by Miss Magnolia Thunderpussy at http://www.ipernity.com/doc/57114/10...rd/989168/self I believe the impressive building behind the sailors might be the Los Angeles Police Academy in Elysian Park, but I always thought it was fairly secluded. :previous: So where the heck is this road? __ |
Been super busy, but here's a sort of sunshine noir shot of a familiar landmark.

Well, these two swabbies are trying to hitch a ride with this pretty girl in the 1941 Pontiac (Oldsmobile not) westbound on Chavez Ravine Road (now Stadium Way) out in front of, not the Police Academy but, the Navy and Marine Corps Reserve Center. Still there, now in service to the LAFD. My good friend Rob (Worldsfair39) has pointed out I apparently don't know the difference between an Oldsmobile and a Pontiac as this is clearly a 1941 Pontiac. |

The Forget could sure do with an appropriate paint job too. With the one now, one doesn't really notice the fish-scale shingles or the other distinctive trim. However, the Forget is fully rented so the owner isn't really motivated. Are there any RBY's around that are done up as they should be? It's so distressing looking at so many neglected gems. |
