I have a total of 22 photographs missing from imageshack that I posted a couple weeks ago. :(

I've replaced 2 so far.

Hoss, I can't see the two photographs you posted earlier this afternoon.
http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=33936

I'm curious, are they visible on your computer?

Here's a fun jumbo postcard.

"American Bowling Congress, Long Beach California" [no date]

I think the lanes might have been set up in the Long Beach Arena.

Here's a picture of it, on the corner c. 1937. The first wedding was held in it Jan 31, 1937, for the Arthur L. Valentines.

Part of it was taken up for the Zephyr Room

Starting in November 1945, into 1950 the radio reality show Bride & Groom was broadcast from Chapman Park Hotel. The host interviewed couples about how they met, where they went on their first date, etc (it's corney but kind of cute), then they would marry off-mike, in the Chapman's chapel, and afterward came back on the show. In exchange they got a bunch of loot like appliances and tableware plus a free honeymoon.

The mural in the postcard "the Annunciation" was done by Alfredo Ramos Martinez in 1936 and apprently painted over after only a few years. In 1957 the Secret Harbor restauraunt now occupying the Zephyr space expanded into the then-unused chapel and demolished the apse where the mural was. Part of the article about it from the Times at the time the the Chapman was being wrecked in 1967:

e_r, the "half a church" in photo #5 is the German Evangelical Church on the NE corner of 12th and Hope,
adjacent to Fiesta Park, that we've seen before.


Was #5's name Heiney Hunter?



Also, good eye to recognize the theater at Chutes Park!

Your photo #6, showing the Chutes Theater from behind, must have been taken in the area beyond the right
field fence. As for photo #7, the Circle Swing ride is the largest of the circles in the lower right corner, beyond
the left field fence:

Chutes Park, the baseball park, was rebuilt on the same footprint and renamed Washington Park during
the winter of 1910-1911. Since your photos are dated 1910-1911, I'm not sure which park's outfield
fence is shown.

NW corner Wilshire and Mariposa
 

Very nice, NCD!

In a couple of the Chapman Park Hotel photos we see one block to the west the
Auburn-Cord/Blue Cross/Packard Bell/Richfield/ARCO/Indonesian Consulate building
at the NW corner of Wilshire and Mariposa, so here is an item on that building's
ownership history:

:previous: NoirCityDame, thanks so much for the excellent information on the Pueblo Oratorio Chapel and for the photograph above that clearly shows the shape of the chapel
before the Zephyr Room was built. I always thought the tower was purely ornamental, I didn't realize it was attached to a chapel.

:previous: I just noticed the large house (I circled in blue above) nestled among the smaller bungalows. Does anyone know if it predates the Chapman Hotel complex (GW?)

Thanks Flyingwedge for the follow-up on the 'Bronco' photographs. The name 'Fiesta Park' had slipped my mind; that's why my initial post was a bit vague.

:previous: Hoss, thanks for locating Emmet Street & for the information on Hallett. (the seller on eBay listed the bronco pictures under Wallett). It's much appreciated!

I bet he was moonlighting from Putnam & Valentine when he took the rodeo photos. ;)

Here are two additional Hallett 'Bronco Pictures' from around 1911.

I like to point out the people in the periphery.

It looks like the bleachers are on the opposite side of the fence facing a different attraction. -perhaps in Chutes Park.

Here's a fun photograph I happened across on eBay a month or so ago.


It shows the Cole Bros. Circus in Los Angeles. (but it doesn't include a location, other than the city, or the date)

I've kept it LARGE for your viewing pleasure. :)

Does Carodins Wardrobe ring a bell for anyone?

In a previous post I mentioned this radio series with a link to a sample broadcast of the show!

I hope these images show up. I emailed Photobucket yesterday, but so far I've only had automated responses.

I posted about the Stiles Oliver Clements designed Vons store at the Broadway-Crenshaw Center in post #33284. A couple of my images, and a couple in Noircitydame's follow-up in post #33285, show the extant Broadway department store at that location. This is Julius Shulman's view of The Broadway. It's "Job 142: Raymond Loewy, The Broadway (Department Store) (Los Angeles, Calif.),1947".

All from Getty Research Institute

The building is now occupied by Walmart. Due to work on the Metro Crenshaw Line, the Googlemobile hasn't been able to get closer than this for the last few years.

:previous: Yes! I can see them Hoss. :) Beautiful Shulman photographs.

While we're in the area, I wanted to ask about a former Bank of America that's just a block or so south on Crenshaw.

Today it is a liquor store called 'The Liquor Bank'.

I know it was a B of A because if you look closely the Bank of America Clipper Ship is visible on the deco pylon (see below)

Surely we've visited this former bank on NLA, but I haven't been able to find any previous posts.
Was it one of your Bank of America Shulman photos Hoss, and I just forgot?

The color in this Kodachrome slide from the 1940s is spectacular.

I feel like I should know where this is, but at the moment it escapes me.

Thanks for locating the Carodin Wardrobe slide from this afternoon Lakeshow. -much appreciated.

I just happened across the following two slides earlier today.

They're both dated 1953, and the seller says they show a LARy "rail laying car".

It would be fun to figure out the location but I don't believe there are enough clues.

Here's the second one folks.
