Mystery location. (somewhere in Hollywood) Does anyone know if the Chandlers (of the Los Angeles Times Chandlers) ever owned a home in Hollywood? Here's an interesting original photograph dated 1906. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/mZE22L.jpg eBay A closer look at the lower left corner. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/PEkSRb.jpg detail And a closer look at the bungalow. (and people) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/qijg8h.jpg eBay The seller mentions a 'Mae Chandler'. P.S. The author - Raymond Chandler's family didn't move to Los Angeles until 1913 so it isn't them. . |
Good Morning!
Here's yet another mystery location. ................................................................................Rescue Home,....Los Angeles,....California https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/gLbrOn.jpg harvard_collection At least this one has a street number. . .330. :) I believe this home might have connections to the Salvation Army. A vine is covering a portion of the last number. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/e61hlt.png I found a rescue home address but the street number is different. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/OWrTWh.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/BgcB5U.jpg :previous: The last on the list. . .on 2_70 N. Griffith Ave. - actually none of the addresses match. Sorry about the blurriness. . |
:previous:
The CDs from 1900 to 1902 list Miss Nellie E Truelove as matron of the Salvation Army Rescue Home at 330 N Griffin Avenue. By 1904, the Salvation Army Rescue Home was being listed at 2670 N Griffin Avenue. |

Model Shop
I was watching 'Echos of Laurel Canyon' about the music scene in LA in the late 60's.
There were several slips from a movie called 'Model Shop' that had some great shots of the city. |
Frederick Russell Burnham
I've just learned that the prominent Victorian/Edwardian adventurer Frederick Russell Burnham (1861-1947) lived in Pasadena and was visited there in 1905 by his literary idol, H. Rider Haggard. Does anyone know where in Pasadena he lived?

I haven't yet been able to track down his Pasadena address; but by 1942, he was residing at 3575 Griffith Park Boulevard, quoth the 1942 CD. https://i.postimg.cc/ZqcBGTnP/Burnha...Gr-Pk-Blvd.jpg gsv The below on Burnham also has Angeleno interest: https://i.postimg.cc/V6kr130x/Burnham-LAT9-10-47.jpg LA Times, 9/10/1947 If he came to LA in 1870, it must have been after the census-taker had passed, as I don't find him in my listings (which pretty much conclude with the 1870 census). |
Speaking of Model Shop...there's a lot of screencaps of it in various places on the internet.
I like this one, taken from Sunset Blvd. at the top of La Cienega Blvd. https://www.imcdb.org/i698338.jpgIMCDB The scene in the above photo is in a segment Don Draper watches in a theatre in the Field Trip episode of Mad Men. https://www.indiewire.com/2014/04/wh...-night-192476/ Looking around the internet just now I discovered that Model Shop director Jacques Demy (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) wanted to cast Harrison Ford in the lead role, but Columbia wanted a name actor, so Gary Lockwood, fresh off 2001: A Space Odyssey, got the part. Also, Demy's original title for the film was Los Angeles -- 1968. |
A couple photos of Hollywood Blvd.
c. 1971 This one features the New-View Theatre showing The Last Picture Show (1971) and Easy Rider (1969). The tree decoration on the far left tells us it's the holiday season. https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...9f&oe=5EB9E591CinemaTreasures c. 1969 New-View, Larry Edmunds Bookshop, House of Magic, Supply Sergeant. The searchlight and a line of people waiting to get into the New-View suggests the possible Premiere or Opening of the film The Gay Deceivers. (Marquee: "In Absolutely Divine Color.") https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...2d&oe=5EB9C3A9CinemaTreasures |

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/qnvNjO.jpg mabellonghetti. A few months back I watched both Jacques Demy's Model Shop and Michelangelo Antonioni's Zabriskie Point (also filmed in California). Two infamous flops by famous foreign directors. Of the two films, I prefer Model Shop because of the Los Angeles locations. Antonioni captured the beauty of nature exquisitely - but I'm afraid his 'symbolism' went right over my head. The loooong scene in the canyon with the wiggling naked people got a little old. . |

The architect for the house was Joseph Blick who was a brother in law and cousin in law to Frederick Russell Burnham. wikipedia - Joseph Blick https://i.imgur.com/ZscfwCG.jpg commons.wikimedia.org |

Another Frederick Russell Burnham residence. In the late 1920's with his oil prospecting business paying off, Hollywood Land was the place to be. https://i.imgur.com/sgkOwwk.jpg Google Books - Burnham: King of Scouts A sketch of the two houses by his son Roderick Burnham. https://i.imgur.com/9bg0oSb.jpg Google Books - A Splendid Savage Frederick's house (3135 Durand Drive) and Roderick's (3129 Durand Drive) still there on their nicely appointed perch. https://i.imgur.com/1cdFyCN.jpg Google Maps Frederick and first wife Blanche enjoy the view at Durand Drive and with some of the pieces he collected on his travels. https://i.imgur.com/vBDg7yk.jpg commons.wikimedia.org |

Noticing the GSV image in the above post... I hope the Googlemobile is out capturing the streets of L.A. with minimal to no traffic around. |
