It's a mic
I think that is a parabolic microphone for outdoor filming (early 30s style.)

If it was, in fact, there from 1890, it would have been prior to the subdivision of the property and there would not necessarily have been "town lots" Mr. Wiesendanger was developing farm properties or acreage into house lots. |
Beckett Residence any other old photos?
I am looking for old pictures, pre-1960's, of the Beckett Residence at 2218 S. Harvard Street. I know the person who purchased this property in December and plans on restoring it. Obviously old photographs would help and just be cool to see.

Holy carp! That picture of the 1890's blue house today makes me want to learn how to play a banjo. Well, nevermind, maybe a tuba that the banda music loves. Sweet Tuff Shed house addition there. :)

Seen this photo a long time ago, but man! I love those dual jet ways to load or exit the airplane.

Seen this photo a long time ago, but man! I love those dual jet ways to load or exit the airplane. LAX was poorly planned though. It was an obsolete airport by the mid 60's. I remember the single lane for departures and arrivals on the single horse shoe road. Not until the early 80's dis LAX join the modern world. I hate going to that place even today.

ebay So where is 955 Mansfield Avenue? I was elated, it appears 955 was in the rear of this building on the southeast corner of Mansfield & Romaine. (there are doors along the Mansfield side) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...905/Qjnex7.png GSV ....but then, after I posted the above photo, I realized I was on the wrong side of the street. Here's 955 today...nothing more than a parking lot. :( http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/ejGs6W.png GSV _____ So what's in that mysterious foliage covered building? |

C.T. Moore Fire Extinguisher Co.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...910/qd5Tak.jpg ebay The fire extinguisher co. building is gone, but it's next door neighbor is still there. You can tell by the two horizontal lines that appear in both the vintage postcard and the GSV photo. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...912/WDnVcr.png GSV __ |
I just came across a rather remarkable 1965 video.
There's Henry Fonda smoking while getting a haircut by Jay Sebring (who was murdered by the Manson family in 1969), a look inside the offices of the William Morris Agency, a rally for the Hollywood Museum that was never built, a quick glimpse of Schwab's at night.....etc....etc. All this narrated by Joseph Cotton. CLICK HERE to see the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rhpoEzu59c http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...913/9IS1ee.png __ |
