It's fun seeing the Rossyln Hotel in that music video jtown. (it's a good song as well) __ 4113 Honduras Street, Los Angeles, circa 1907 http://imageshack.us/a/img34/5975/vz1m.JPGebay http://imageshack.us/a/img560/7552/9u9m.jpgebay I searched for 4113 Honduras Street, but Honduras Street doesn't start until 43rd Street, http://imageshack.us/a/img577/9907/7x6z.jpggoogle_earth and continues south to 48th Street. I checked my 1947 Los Angeles street map and it also has Honduras running from 43rd to 48th. __ |
Here's an impressive snapshot of the Bank of Italy building I found a few months ago on ebay.
At right is the Los Angeles Post Office, and in the distance at far left is the crenelated tower of the old Los Angeles Times building. 1926 http://imageshack.us/a/img809/9172/xir2.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img196/6611/l6ck.jpgebay All the buildings in this photograph are gone. More photographs of the Bank of Italy here. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=3849 example from earlier post http://imageshack.us/a/img35/8198/sgk3.jpg http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=3849 The post office (shaped like a backward C) next to the Bank of Italy at lower right. __ |
I've never heard of this place before.

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...AHonduras1.jpg www.historicmapworks.com This seems to be confirmed by the early City Directories. Up to 1923, the numbering started at 4100, but changed to 4200 from 1926. The 4200 starting number can still be seen in the 1942 CD, but by 1956 it has become 4300, so I assume 42nd had become 43rd by then. Oddly, although the early CDs list numbering that starts at 4100, I couldn't find any addresses under 4200. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...AHonduras2.jpg rescarta.lapl.org |
:previous: -Very interesting HossC. I thought perhaps the bricklayer had written the wrong address,
but this proves there were 4100 street numbers on Honduras St. __ |

I found this 1939 image of Hill Street. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...OmarsDome1.jpg USC Digital Library It's difficult to see, but "OMAR'S DOME" is just visible on the blade sign above the word "CAFE". USC says it's the Town Theatre that's showing 'Gunga Din'. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...OmarsDome2.jpg Detail of image above. |

I watched the old movie "Falling Down" the other day. It was nice to know where the locations mentioned in the movie actually are.

To complement yesterday's 1939 picture of the south side of Hill Street from Fifth (Omar's Dome), this one shows the north side. It was also taken in 1939, but the Town Theatre is showing an unidentified Barrymore movie, so it wasn't taken on the same day.
