GLASS NEGATIVE
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/WRXCII.jpg eBay Thanks so much for the clippings and photographs of 'The Poppy', Noir Noir and Martin Turnbull. (and odinthor & FredH for converting the negative 2 positive) I can't get over this fact about the exterior lights. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/8m1va2.jpg excerpt Can you imagine seeing this railcar returning at dusk with all the lights on. ... It must have looked like a dream. . |
This image of a 1968 Cadillac Fleetwood is from the movie, [The Mechanic 1972].
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/uxFFuZ.jpg I checked IMDB and the location isn't on the list of locations. (even though IMDB is where I found the screen-grab) |

McLaughlin's delivery vehicle. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/LXWWlC.jpg eBay (I can't locate the pic again) The business was located at 4716 Normandie Ave. So what was this guy delivering? :shrug: . |

Mechanic Location Maybe

In re: S.C. Dodge, some of his Projects, and his Building the Florence Hotel at 310 E. Fifth St. (I leave out a multitude of Dodge's lawsuits and political doings). All clippings from LA Times, dates as indicated... https://i.postimg.cc/mrvHMJHX/Dodge-A12-4-90.jpg 12/4/1890 310 E. 5th was the Dodge family home: https://i.postimg.cc/26nBxGdz/Dodge-B10-14-91.jpg 10/14/1891 Here, from the 1909 Bird's Eye View of L.A., is the Dodge home, roughly at center between the College of Dentistry and The Earle: https://i.postimg.cc/kgkQF2rv/Dodge-House.jpg Birdseye View, 1909 https://i.postimg.cc/HnfRCpc0/Dodge-C11-8-91.jpg 11/8/1891 https://i.postimg.cc/fy0qC62V/Dodge-D7-21-92.jpg 7/21/1892 https://i.postimg.cc/rzXnPQ3Q/Dodge-F12-21-95.jpg 12/21/1895 And here is our building, replacing the family home: https://i.postimg.cc/gk3mk5zc/Dodge-G10-15-11.jpg 10/15/1911 And so soon commenced a series of unfortunate happenings at the place (death, suicide, petty crime), of which here is the first: https://i.postimg.cc/xCkSrpp2/Dodge-H12-5-13.jpg 12/5/1913 EDIT ADD: While evidently still owning the Fifth St. property, S. C. Dodge (the "S" is for "Shailor") had moved to 686 S. Burlington by about 1905, where the family remained at least into the 1940s. |
:previous: Nice job on the research of S.C. Dodge, odinthor.
There wasn't a location included on this negative of a Union Oil gas station. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/15rkRH.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/IWfujx.jpgeBay If I'm not mistaken, the street lights are 'Wilshire Specials'. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/oXTB2V.jpg Does anyone know where on Wilshire this particular gas station was located? It's quite dark on the other side of the station. Could that be MacArthur Park? (my apologies if we've seen this image on NLA. I don't remember seeing it) . |
Here's a rather enigmatic photograph, taken in 1912, of a small group of ladies gathered around, what I believe is, a rose bush.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/aRrcCC.jpg eBay Is that a rose bush, odinthor? I bet the large hat on the floor of the porch is the photographer's. (see how sleuthy I am. ;)) And the reverse. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/1bUFje.jpg Hmmm...I wonder which one is Anna. Perhaps the rose bush was a gift. . |
:previous:
Yes, e_r--it's definitely a rose bush; but the proportionately rather small leaves and the way it's branching are both a little unlike mainstream roses. They had a lot of interest in so-called shrub roses then--which were often varieties bred from wild rose species, so they'd have a different "look"; it's possibly one of them. |
Holloween is coming soon. Noirishers need to be ready.
This haunting faux Elvira was certainly ready in the 1950s. https://66.media.tumblr.com/c188fdb2...1kyo1_1280.jpg an old file, deep inside my computer :cheers::happypunk: |
Elvira?

This photo recently showed up on eBay
I don't believe we have seen the Glen Holly Dairy on NLA. "Glen Holly Dairy and their Parade Float, Cantu Pena Photo, Los Angeles 1936" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/doU9Ow.jpg eBay I found it listed in the 1939 city directory. (4109 Folsom) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/tyVC77.jpg LAPL The first two times I looked I didn't think the old dairy building was there... because I was relying on the addition with the horizontal windows down the street. This one. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/wwp7zX.jpg As far as I can tell it's gone) But the dairy building is still there! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/PLcsdt.jpg GSV If you look closely, you can see the old Glen Holly Dairy sign painted over in white. (red arrow above) Here's the old dairy bldg. from a different angle. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/9VVO6Z.jpg GSV I think it's rather interesting looking. [built 1925] . |
:previous:
UPDATE: I just realized there is writing (and a photographer's stamp) on the back of the Glen Holly photo. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/e6dq2y.jpg The 4124 address (written above) is a house a bit farther down the block and across the street. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/KPe1cM.jpg If I had gone by the 4124 address on the back of the photo I probably wouldn't have found the old dairy building. . |
