By the way, I'm caught up! I've been pages behind (for several months) and immensely enjoying the adventures of the merry band of LA Noirishers. My before bed, while slurping Rooibos tea, treat and sleeping aid. Hat's off to you all! |

Take a look at the bell clock in this image, circa 1962. LOS ANGELES, CA - OCTOBER, 1962 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/LsyZOB.jpg getty "Cassius Clay, doing some foot work in the ring at the Main Street Gym preparing for his bout against Archie Moore, October, 1962." Here's a closer look. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/ZzEwqT.jpg detail It's the boxing bell, right? __ |
:previous: This particular clock is missing by 1976.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/HiRIrw.jpg latimesblog hmm....note how the electrical wires run over to the door. (security alarm?) So where is this practice boxing area in relation to the LARGE HALL in FW's photograph....below it? __ |

hmm...so when did Elizabeth Short move to Los Angeles? _____________________________________________ Nevermind: I just found this. blackdahlia.web says Ms. Short moved to Los Angeles in Mid-1943. (is this date wrong?) |
So since there's been some talk recently about the Main St Gym at the Turner Halle, thought I'd mention it was by Capitain & Krempel. I took a screen grab of when I'd included it in a Powerpoint about LA's Romanesque past and then screenshot those other instances of Capitain/Krempel's inclusions therein just for fun, because that's literally my idea of fun. Threw it all on the desktop and it came out like so:

The line between the school house light and the drop cord may be a pull chain for the school house light canopy switch. It was common to have pull chain switches on ceiling lights in the day. The string may be to operate the switch or most likely a way to hang a light weight sign for customers to read. The chain looks like it's attached to the plate holding the drop cord. The plate for the drop cord may be a device for attaching drop cords to knob and tube wiring or a duplex outlet. My guess is the drop cord light was a non elegant way to get more light at the counter rather than a replacement for the school house light. The bulb must have glared like crazy. |
