Hi all, I'm still lurking my way through this thread (fell way behind and am now on pg. 1011, trying to do 10 a day) but I recently came across the post on page 1005 or thereabouts finally showing the northern portal to the North Hill Street tunnel, and that inspired me to fire up LA Noire again (something I rarely do these days) to go hunting for pictures.
There's the good ol' north portal: https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5073/1...07cd6cb7_b.jpg Just inside the tunnel: https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5558/1...b0db6377_b.jpg The alley behind Temple: https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3837/1...9ff19f36_b.jpg The Figueroa underpass at Temple: https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5194/1...969f6338_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2927/1...610916f2_b.jpg Up near the City Oil Field: https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3887/1...6a331e70_b.jpg And an imaginary hillside along Figueroa near Chinatown: https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2940/1...77a71b7e_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2910/1...7aa87c0e_b.jpg |
Have you ever wondered what might happen if you accidentally hit the gas while pulling into your garage?

I haven't been rudely kicked out of an LA building in a while... think I'll infiltrate that basement on my next visit. LAPL has these pictures of Jack that I hadn't seen before. Location unspecified but I'm sure this is the Barbara Inn at the hotel. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...barbarainn.jpg http://jpg1.lapl.org/pics18/00008599.jpg http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k.../jackdiner.jpg http://jpg1.lapl.org/pics18/00008595.jpg We've had this one on NLA before... just noting the uniforms are the same as above.

We've seen Dempsey here before, of course, although I see that quite a few pictures in some posts are missing now. Anyway, I was reminded of the house above, once at 2415 S Western Ave--Dempsey lived here in the early '20s before moving to Los Feliz ca. 1925. (That house was built by the recently mentioned Harley Earl and is at 2047 Laughlin Park Drive, formerly 5254 Los Feliz Blvd.) Steve Vaught has more on Dempsey's domestic arrangements at Paradise Leased. I'm not sure how he came to be associated with it, but one place Dempsey didn't live, despite much insistence on the web that he did, is 3741 West 27th Street--despite Dempsey's lack of presence there, its story is interesting: http://losangeleshistory.blogspot.co...-also-see.html http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xlFFpcIxW6...Nfullcolor.jpg |
Thanks for digging up the photographs of Jack Dempsey at the Hotel Barbara NoirCityDame. They're pretty amazing.

The 1923 CD lists Harley Earl's residence as 7021 Hollywood Boulevard. He's listed at the 5254 Los Feliz Boulevard address in the 1926 CD, but gone by 1927. Hope this helps. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rleyEarlCD.jpg LAPL |
Re 5254 Los Feliz Blvd/2047 Laughlin Park
Unless one might somehow have access to the actual paperwork involved in their real estate transactions, the public record regarding Earl's and Dempsey's reveals as much of the truth as anyone is likely to find--and we know newspapers, censuses, and directories are not entirely reliable sources. I realize that I didn't make myself clear--while Dempsey is written of in newspaper articles as having moved to Los Feliz in late 1925, he didn't move into the Earl house until later. In the 1926CD--compiled largely in 1925--he was at 2531 N Commonwealth and the Earls were listed at 5254 Los Feliz Blvd along with Mrs. Earl's parents, although by the middle of 1926 or so the Earls and the Carpenters would have two separate houses on adjacent properties (Carpenters = 5242). The lease in May 1926 and then sale of the Earl house to Dempsey when they moved to Detroit is mentioned in several sources--the date given for the actual sale in reliable sources is quite specific: January 5, 1927. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-P...2520PM.bmp.jpg Harley Earl built this house on property he bought from Cecil B. DeMille. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-H...2520PM.bmp.jpg Mrs. Earl behind the wheel of her 1927 LaSalle--her husband's design--in front of her parents' house in May 1927. According to their grandson, the Earls were back in L.A. for a vacation at that time. Billy--seen with his mother in the car--was dead two weeks later. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-l...2520PM.bmp.jpgLAT May 20, 1927 Apparently, Billy had some sort of treatment for a cold that resulted in a throat hemorrhage (what could this precedure possibly have been?) and died in his mother's arms.

Kremal was a non-alcoholic beverage that was supposed to taste like beer. It was made right here in Los Angeles by the Edward R. Maier Brewing Company which later made the famous (or infamous, to this site) "Brew 102" . At one point, during prohibition, the plant was raided since apparently some of the brew was above the legal limit for alcohol content. |
