Morningside Hospital - 8711 S. Harvard Blvd, Los Angeles
Designed by Riener C. Nielsen & Gene E. Moffatt. Built by Ernest W. Hahn Co in 1957. Closed in 1980 and demolished in 2002 or 2003. I've been searching for photos of this hospital but not had much success. I found a press photo from 1968 on Ebay but that only shows a small part of the exterior. I'm looking for something which shows the entire exterior (other than the design image below). Does anyone have anything? Thanks http://i65.tinypic.com/289h91f.jpg February 10, 1957 - Los Angeles Times |

Welcome to NLA, HW666. From the Wikipedia page: Morningside Hospital was a 125 bed hospital located at 8711 South Harvard Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. The facility opened in early 1958. An August 1980 Los Angeles Times article indicated that the closing date of Morningside would be September 15, 1980, citing financial losses and competition from larger hospitals. Its emergency room closed two weeks before the hospital itself.There are a couple of screengrabs from 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' at itsfilmedthere.com, but they only show two nearby buildings on Manchester Avenue. It's the only one of the movies that I have on DVD, but I couldn't even spot the main hospital building in the background. I'm surprised that a recently abandoned hospital wasn't used more often for filming in the '80s. In case it helps anyone locate pictures of Morningside Hospital, the aerial view below on the left shows it in 1980 (to the left of the "Harvard Boulevard label"). The view on the right is from 2003. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Historic Aerials |
Thanks for the welcome and the information, HossC.
I've managed to see the films referenced in the Wikipedia article and there are some limited views of the exterior in V: The Final Battle. The interior is featured quite heavily in that and Halloween II (where my interest come from). It possibly was used for more filming but not listed on IMBb. I did manage to find an aerial image from 2002 but hopefully something like a bird's-eye view turns up. http://i67.tinypic.com/2r28zzn.jpg LA County GIS Data Viewer |

Thanks HossC. My own eyes misled me as the wheel hub cover did not look like "Austin." Now, it's plain as day.:uhh: Speaking of day and night, has anyone ever seen Selig's 1913 production of "The Bridge of Shadows?" (Yes, that was 104 years ago.) The description of after-dark photography from the top of the Broadway Tunnel piques my curiosity. http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/o...r.jpg~original Aug 23, 1913 NY Clipper, Page 8. http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/o...o.jpg~originalhttps://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bridge_of_Shadows Another film on the list is the 1914 production of "Their Ups and Downs." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328725/ Apparently not to be confused with an Arbuckle short of the same name and production year, also known as "The Balloon." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0004687/ From the Motion Picture News, Oct. 10, 1914: http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/o...k.jpg~original |

"Remember that dry garbage/paper would be burned in a backyard incinerator in those days, but there was wet garbage pick up for the stuff that would not easily burn. My house (1941) still has a wet garbage pail holder with a foot pedal lid next to the back door. Crickets and other crawlies live there now." Thx CBD, Jack & Fred :-) I have another question regarding trash. I bought a house in WLA that had an incinerator (built of field stone) behind the garage and also bins, one w/ a few discarded glass item & the other w/ metal. Who came to collect these? Private scavenger men/firms? (I'm recalling now London rag & bone men who'd come round the neighborhoods w/ a horse & cart, calling out "Any old iron?"). I cannot remember how we got rid of trash in Hermosa Beach. We didn't have incinerators. The houses in Hermosa, like most beach towns, had no yards to speak of. The Stark's incinerator, out there hiding in the bushes: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/yP...=w1221-h561-no warner bros-first national |
Thanks for your Mira Costa High School memories, Bristolian. I did wonder about the arched building next to the auditorium. I could see it on Historic aerials up until 1994, but would never have known that it was an indoor swimming pool.
------------------ We're heading inland for today's Julius Shulman post. It's "Job 3676: Everett L. Tozier, First Baptist Church, Education Building (Pomona, Calif.), 1964". Again, this is just a selection of the images in the set. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Sadly, there are no interior images, so I don't know what's inside the glass area. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original This last shot shows the view from the back of the site. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute The building is still standing as part of a complex at 601 N Garey Ave, Pomona. I don't think it's changed much. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original GSV |

Sid Davis - Seduction of The Innocent (1961)
Another notable Sid Davis "educational" film was 1961's "Seduction of The Innocent." Filmed with the "cooperation of the Santa Monica Police Department and the Santa Monica School District," this lurid Sid Davis entry goes from "boy meets girl" to "girl gone wrong."
Although Davis often got cooperation from local police and schools, he rarely got evidence from prominent psychologists or professionals in the field, as Coronet Films or Encyclopedia Britannica Films often did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlWf4ElQgWc https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OlWf4ElQgWc/hqdefault.jpg YouTube https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NrMLuSS9tSQ/hqdefault.jpg YouTube |

Seduction of the Innocent [1961] This series of screen-grabs show the young couple leaving a drug den. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...924/lbZouv.png I freaked out for a second, because this looks like the 'bohemian' front of my best friend's house in Santa Monica Canyon. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...922/QgaoTP.png http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...924/xyEhGz.png http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/pdtFFn.png http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/7FhQ9w.png http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...921/oHNsqG.png Santa Monica Pier is in the far distance. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...924/RRzpbo.png I'm confused because the area shows a long line of small buildings....then a wide parking lot....then the beach. today, it's either parking lot...then beach or buildings...then beach. but not all three (do you catch my drift?) PCH + Parking Lot + Beach..........or PCH + Buildings + Beach http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/9Tf4ag.jpg google_earth So where was the line of buildings (in the 1961 film) located that appear to be wedged between PCH and a large parking lot. (are the buildings gone?) The other explanation would be that a large parking lot was removed (from the middle section) and the buildings that are there now, are the bldgs (now modified) that were in the film |

The next year, Tozier, as an architect for Welton Becket & Associates, put up the Pomona Public Library at 6th and Garvey. Gebhard and Winter called it "fussy": https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/nQ...=w1303-h364-no gsv |

Still having issues accessing permit site regarding the 8431 address. FWIW, Emser is listed in the '87 Directory, so it's been at least 30 years. Per '73 Dir., Emser was at 5780 Wilshire. :shrug: |

:previous: Thanks for pointing that out t2. I was wondering about that building.
In the film it looked like it was pretty much standing alone, and your aerial proves it. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...924/ATOCkq.jpg The Terrible Truth |
