"Phone booth and Newsstand late 1950s. Los Angeles" designed by Henry Dreyfuss
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...907/Gwwb15.jpg from Industrial Design, volume 5, 1959 Does anyone recall this design, or was it just a temporary prototype? The street corner looks to be somewhere in the Civic Center. I like the little awning over the newsstand. __ |
Using Wig-Wag's instructions, and following the train on it's journey, I located another building.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...905/AHdE3z.jpg screen-grab / Columbia Pictures 1946 Here it is in 2011. The address is 5246-5238 San Fernando Road. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...908/SrMIgG.jpg gsv Recently it's had an insensitive remodel. Today http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...911/LkJDqT.jpg The doors and windows at street level are a big improvement, but the bricks have been covered up (hate that!), and the area with the horizontal diamond pattern has been covered over. The paint job is regrettable. _ |
Just a friendly reminder.
Double Indemnity is showing tonight on TCM, 8:00 Eastern / 5:00 Pacific. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...910/owD9oD.jpg http://margaretperry.org/barbara-sta...ady-or-a-liar/ |

I saw the post and Edison Electric Substation #2 was mentioned but no picture. I hope this helps as far as where it was. I hope I'm doing this right, sorry if it's not I'm forum retarded as ethereal reality can tell you. |
:previous: Very interesting photograph Hollywood Girl. I quickly perused the #2 substations in the So. Cal. Edison Collection
at the Huntington Archive and couldn't find any that matched it. __ "St Pauls School, Los Angeles" http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...908/oP0Acs.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/CALIFORNIA-L...QAAOSw5dNWkxMG I like how the lot is slightly raised. -but I wasn't able to figure out the location (there have been numerous St Pauls in the Los Angeles area). __ |

'mystery' location
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...905/I5FT7A.jpg eBay It wouldn't be a mystery if I could only read the street signs....but they're just too darn small. I just noticed a motorcycle getting ready to pull out into the street. __ Thanks for finding the location of St Pauls School GW. |
:previous:
I see a faintly legible street sign at far left under traffic light. Building has partially visible signage too. "Pasadena" is on Freeway sign. Maybe Hollywood at top. Plymouth Fury? and Anglia? :shrug: |

------------------ Today's Julius Shulman post has the location in the description. This is Western Federal Savings on the corner of Prospect Avenue and N Vermont Avenue. It's "Job 5228: Sidney Eisenshtat, Western Federal Savings (Los Angeles, Calif.), 1975". NB. The two pictures in the set are virtually identical, so I just picked one. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Getty Research Institute The building is now shared between US Bank and Starbucks. Note how the steps have been replaced by a ramp. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original GSV This area appears very briefly in the 2000 Dukes of Hazzard TV movie 'Hazzard in Hollywood'. I won't go into the complex plotline (;)), but in this scene the Duke Boys are escaping from the bad guys when they swerve into a bikini car wash at Prospect and Vermont. At the time of filming, the bank building was empty. I've just noticed the people watching at the far left. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original Warner Bros Looking the other way, we get a quick glimpse of Orange Bee Jay's at 1670 N Vermont. It appears in the 1987 CD. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original Warner Bros Orange Bee Jay's is now Machos Tacos. There's also a real car wash next door. The 1987 CD lists it as the Hollymont Car Wash and Auto Repair Center. It now seems to be called Vermont Handwash, and has some pretty scathing reviews on yelp.com. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original GSV |
And there's Sarno's next door.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...911/d64Zzt.jpg Getty This is my favorite photograph of the place. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...905/twWXFf.jpg http://ilcapriccioonvermont.com/2013.../#.VpgOhBUrKhc I'm pretty sure we've already seen this image on NLA, but here it is anyway. in 1987 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...910/x1b2du.jpg http://www.kcet.org/socal/departures...los-feliz.html There was really a place named Orange Bee Jay? __ |
