http://imageshack.us/a/img708/637/1oui.jpg Dreamland Dance Hall was located on the second floor of the old Burbank (later Burlesk) Theater at 540 S. Main Street. (I know we've covered this earlier in the thread but it's just so damn interesting ;)) http://imageshack.us/a/img818/6255/l41r.jpg http://jassdancer.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html You can see the 'Dreamland' signs beneath the roof-line on the Burlesk Theater in this undated image. http://imageshack.us/a/img153/767/iqq9.jpg http://jassdancer.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html http://imageshack.us/a/img89/1070/1ucl.jpg ebay __ |

This is so strange. At first I thought it was a take on Mary had a Little Lamb, but that doesn't explain the lighthouse feature.

More Wilshire/Vermont

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-r...2520PM.bmp.jpg The smaller pole was awaiting a 3-light signal of the sort that would replace the semaphores, one of which, apparently still in use in 1952, is seen at far right in the bigger pic. This complete lamp stood seven block west at Normandie: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-B...322%2520PM.jpg Quote:
The Busch building went up in 1923; perhaps it was for seismic reasons, but you do wonder what they were thinking when stripping away all its character. A few ads from 1924: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-X...2520AM.bmp.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-J...2520AM.bmp.jpg Below is another view east on Wilshire from just east of Vermont--here, the recently discussed Shettler house still stands at left. Bullock's will rise where the trees are. All of the property on the south side of Wilshire from Vermont to the Shettler house (in a square extending 3/4 of the way south to 7th St) had belonged to the Busch family for many years. Unlike the other three Wilshire/Vermont corners on which big houses were built (the Lacy, Burkhard, and Hancock houses), nothing was ever built at the southeast corner of Vermont until the Busch building above. One family member had a house on the property at 3124 before Shatto Place was cut south from Wilshire--that house was on the empty lot to the left of the Wilshire Special. (The house was most likely demolished but may have been moved--while the new locations of many houses that were moved from older Wilshire neighborhoods are known, it seems that quite a few may be unknown.) The Ebell Club bought the 3124 corner in the early '20s in anticipation of a move from Figueroa, but the value of the new property went up so fast that the girls cashed out a few years later and bought the club's current location at Wilshire and Lucerne. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-f...2520PM.bmp.jpg Add'l pics LAT, USCDL |
