By the way, this is an interesting story on the Cleveland Wrecking Co. from 1994: http://articles.latimes.com/1994-01-...ing-demolition |

I see the postmark on the back of the picture you posted is 1921 Google "United Bretheren Home Burbank" in Images to see a color picture of the home in the late 50's |

No amount of Googling can replace personal recollections :). I'm guessing that this is the picture you were talking about, oldstuff. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rbankHome1.jpg www.cardcow.com Using the information, I also found this postcard on eBay. The seller dates it as circa 1930s, when it was apparently called the Pacific Evangelical Home for Aged People. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rbankHome2.jpg eBay Here's how the building and grounds looked in 1954. The next date available is 1972, and that just shows an empty lot. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rbankHome3.jpg Historic Aerials |

(Btw, Andrew Getty was unrelated to other Wilshire Boulevard Gettys.) The story of that house (651 South Hobart) is in the works here: http://wilshireboulevardhouses.blogs...lease-see.html |
Greenwald murder, 1957 (Hollywood strangler claims third victim)
http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...ald&DMROTATE=0USC
[IMG]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7354/...d631b74b_b.jpg4020 Holly Knoll Dr by rcarlton1[/IMG] Mrs. Esther Greenwald was found murdered by her husband Maurice (49) around 6 pm August 19, 1957 at 4020 Holly Knoll Drive. The front and back doors were both locked. Esther (born October 5, 1904) is lying face-down across the hallway with her head in a pool of blood on the bedroom floor and her feet in the bathroom. She's wearing a blue nightgown, gray housecoat and red slippers and has been strangled with the cord from her housecoat. She's wearing two diamond rings. Dr. Gerald K. Ridge, the medical examiner, says that death occurred sometime between 1:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. In her bedroom her diamond wrist watch is on the dresser and there's a fur stole in the closet. Robbery does not appear to be a motive. Her husband, Maurice stated that they had gone to the airport to see off some relatives who were flying to Hawaii the night before. They stopped somewhere for bagels and coffee, and didn't get home until 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. Maurice left for work at about 7:15 am. http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...ald&DMROTATE=0USC Maurice Greenwald showing how he touched her arm & found she was dead (cold). http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...ald&DMROTATE=0USC Lt. Herman Zander (right) arrests Maurice Greenwald for murder of wife. The inquest will find enough evidence to make him criminally responsible for the strangulation of his wife Esther. Maurice snarled, "Now they will make a captain out of you!" to Lt. Herman Zander homicide detective as he was arrested. Maurice apparently turned on the heating unit in their house to make determining time of death difficult. A jury found Maurice not guilty. He was born November 6, 1907 in New York, died August 11, 1982 in San Bernardino, California. |
Have we seen this children's hospital before? We probably have, but it doesn't look familiar to me.

Look Both Ways and do not play in the street.
This is a created scene pertaining to child safety....1931. The location is Wilshire and McCadden Place.

:previous:
I'd be surprised if the location of these shots was actually even near the intersection of Wilshire & McCadden. Hancock Park houses are generally much bigger than those in the pictures. The picture below is indeed of Wilshire & McCadden, looking southeast. (The gabled house was at the SE corner of Wilshire & Longwood, not in Hancock Park proper, but of the general size of HP houses.) The image was lumped with those of the children in one of several batches on the USC site illustrating traffic hazards and solutions...the now-closed subway entrances are seen on either side of Wilshire here. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3...2520PM.bmp.jpgUSCDL Another set of traffic hazards/solutions is here. |
