Thanks for the follow-ups & figuring out the location of the Classic Garage & Body Works Flyingwedge, tovangar2 and HossC.
recap: Mr. Meagher's 'death' car turning into the garage at 6245 Lexington Ave. (near Vine) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/c75yML.png ucla archives / from last night originally posted by FW http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...922/wDHuha.jpg Here's a photograph of 'liquor dealer' and soon to be murdered Mr. Meagher and I assume his wife. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/gWwYk8.jpg http://digital2.library.ucla.edu/vie...198/zz002hbnsv He looks like a tough cookie. No wonder he was able to wrestle the gun away after he was shot. (and what was the Mrs. Meagher doing inside with a sailor?) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320...923/yafvOl.jpg The Meagher home at 580 N. Irving Blvd. shortly after the murder. [ January 18, 1933 ] http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/rpppsU.jpg http://digital2.library.ucla.edu/vie...198/zz002hbnqt I hope that's OIL on the driveway and not blood :( The home is still there but the view is blocked by a wall and shrubbery. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/qrnMn7.jpg gsv That looks like it might be the original driveway as well--------> _ I wonder if the people that live there now...................oh, never mind. ;) |

I believe this is new to NLA.
Three young women dance around a flowering palm tree that grew at the astounding rate of one foot per day in the yard of Mrs. F. P. Coves at 441 West 33rd Street, Los Angeles. [1925] http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/922/jdz10r.jpg http://photos.lapl.org/carlweb/jsp/D...wdate=&hidate= If I'm not mistaken, this block of 33rd street was paved over for the Harbor Freeway in the 1950s. __ |

Yea, I wasn't so sure that was a palm either, but Los Angeles Public Library described it as a palm so I left it at that.
Also, is it really possible for a plant to grow a foot in one day? That's almost scary. |
The dancing girls are kinda' cute. ;)

It's off to Huntington Beach for today's Julius Shulman post. This is "Job 5146: Kurt Meyer, Huntington Beach Civic Center (Huntington Beach, Calif.), 1974".
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Here's a closer look from the opposite side. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original An end view. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original I've omitted a few shots of other angles, but couldn't leave out these fountains. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original This is the back of the police department. Those squad cars remind me of countless TV shows and movies I watched in the '70s and '80s :). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original There are a few arty shots in the set. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original This is one of four color images, but the only I'm posting. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...7.jpg~original I assume that this last photo shows a meeting room. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...8.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute The Civic Center and police department can still be found at 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach. Apart from the solar panels, the exterior looks the same. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...9.jpg~original GSV |

Surprisingly, we haven't seen this photograph from the USC Digital Archives on NLA.
Russell's Studio Inn at W. Pico Blvd. and Fox Hills Drive. [1936] http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/i2Xv2p.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...id/84874/rec/7 Here's a closer look... http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/V6GPlk.jpgdetail To tell you the truth, I was quite shocked to find it still standing! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/50WOGk.jpg gsv / 2017 But it looks a bit worse for wear. :( In this view we're looking east on W. Pico Blvd. Russell's can be seen on the left. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...922/l5MLiZ.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...id/84874/rec/7 A closer look. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/8I41lw.jpgdetail ....and in 2014. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/kIdqVy.jpg gsv ---------------------- Oh, a couple more things. The bench in front of Russell's has 'Fox Film Corporation' written on it. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/Cup9pz.jpg detail Fox Studio is practically next door. Do you suppose the mansard roofed building in the distance could be a film set? (red arrow below) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/Y29Iyl.jpgdetail These photographs exist because Tommy Hughes, driving a 1932 Ford Roadster, ran over a pedestrian in front of Russell's. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/kMp1SQ.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/0k49st.jpg You can see all of photographs (including two of the roadster) here: http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...id/84874/rec/7 ___ |

Flyingwedge took us to Russell's Studio Inn, but not the full images or the notes: http://skyscraperpage.com/forum/show...ostcount=27477 Quote:
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/hl...=w1022-h372-no gsv What's that little tower peeking out over the roof of Russell's in the historic pix? |
:previous: I wondered about that little tower too. I couldn't figure it out.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...924/ULVVsj.jpg There's only a parking lot there in the 'straight-on' shot. __ Did anyone notice the Russell's sign on the south side Pico? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...922/vPlzJB.jpg |
Have we seen the Sea Breeze Sandwich Shoppe?
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/nsBp3h.jpg Surf City Writer at https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...56e3317b1f.jpg The Sea Breeze was located in Huntington Beach in the 1920s _ So what makes a ham, a Virgina baked ham? (does it have to be from Virginia.....or is it just cooked a special way) |
Here's one more for tonight. (hopefully new to NLA)
A giant woman posing by her swimming pool. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/J2cunK.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...d/95988/rec/15 Nah, I'm just kidding. ;) Model pools on Ventura Boulevard at Sepulveda Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA [1940] http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/3vZs1e.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...d/95988/rec/15 |

FWIW, Mayerling was a French Film released in 1936, but (apparently) did reach the Esquire Theater until 1938. "This film was first shown on television Thursday 30 November 1939 on New York City's pioneer, and still experimental television station W2XBS." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0027951/...ef_=tt_trv_trv |
