(Elks) Building is under construction atop the hill. At right is the three story building built for Kate Stamps in 1905 designed by Morgan and Watts. -Building Permit- http://imageshack.us/a/img198/5232/tnx2.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img209/4328/cf82.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img703/3458/5n3h.jpg http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d...50326.2.107.6# We've seen (and discussed) the vegetarian restaurant in Ms. Stamps' building numerous times on the thread, but the word TREATMENT on the facade is more rare. I believe it's referring to the Saint Helena Sanitarium that occupied the upper floors. (in later photographs the word 'Treatment' has been replaced by 'Furnished Rooms") __ |

enjoyed the posts on Lookout Mountain and the Arcade Station palm tree. I don't have the complete history of the Brunswig building on Second Street, but I can fill in twenty years, or so. This photo of Little Tokyo is from sometime between the mid 1960's and prior to the 1971 earthquake. http://imageshack.us/a/img837/5543/rehv.jpg Earl Witscher, Modernage Photo Service The Brunswig building looked like this: http://imageshack.us/a/img201/8528/y1eo.jpg Earl Witscher, Modernage Photo Service Another view at about the same time shows that the building was basically being used as a parking garage. http://imageshack.us/a/img842/9793/9yt4.jpg Earl Witscher, Modernage Photo Service Fast forward to about 1982. Many changes have taken place in Little Tokyo... http://imageshack.us/a/img69/2050/eimw.jpg Earl Witscher, Modernage Photo Service ...but the Brunswig building has not changed a bit. http://imageshack.us/a/img826/5409/ksmd.jpg Earl Witscher, Modernage Photo Service When I started working in Little Tokyo in May, 1985, the Brunswig building still looked like the photo above. Then after about 20 years of serving as a parking structure, an amazing transformation took place. The building was stripped down to its bare frame. An additional three floors were added on top, and the final result was this amazing building: http://imageshack.us/a/img96/7113/m5p7.jpg google Earth So basically, the bones of the 1931 building are still in there. That is why the new building occupies the exact footprint of the original. And, if you notice, the builders even incorporated the old car ramp on the side of the building into the new structure. Of course, the original Brunswig Drug building was up on N. Main Street.. http://imageshack.us/a/img826/6889/va88.jpg Waterandpower.org And recently, has been nicely restored. http://imageshack.us/a/img600/5839/1b8h.jpg mimlay.com |

The photo caption says it was taken atop the administration building, which, if the rendering is correct, would be atop the restaurant? Or maybe they didn't open the restaurant. The link to the photo has a post about Monkey Island, obviously, and the writer talks about information from a "guidebook" that he's using as a source, I guess. But no mention of what that is exactly. However, one paragraph says: Monkey Island was landscaped by two palm fringed mountains, each meant to duplicate the look of active volcanoes. [...] Contained within these concrete mountains were the monkey 'dormitories' and service halls where all two thousand (maximum capacity) monkeys would sleep on straw covered steel shelves. I don't know how tall these were, but I wonder if this is the "six-story building" mentioned in the other photo caption from LAPL? Seems those "mountains" were designed for functionality as well. Another related photo from that site that I don't recall seeing posted here before, but, of course, it may have been.
