ER - The more I look at this photo and your floor plan of the house, I'm convinced that there is only one fountain.
I think the object in the red circle is the toilet, which you can see in the original fountain photo.. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...psj00sxn11.jpg If this is correct (and allowing for the lack of doors in this place) you could be sitting at the breakfast table and have to look at someone taking a crap, (or something) in the bathroom. "Gross Me Out" - as they used to say. |

Good deduction FredH. They switched the plants on me ;) so I was confused. __ I went back and re-posted the floor plans. (I thought I might be over doing it) Did you take in consideration there are two bathrooms? |

So imagine my surprise when you mentioned the 'Big Storm'. I appreciate the information HH. _ |
I've started using Metrolink(the commuter train here in LA) to get to Downtown and then the rail and buses(the Metrolink ticket allows unlimited transfers) to see and photograph things around town. As the train approaches Union Station I've seen this really nice brick building.
https://c5.staticflickr.com/6/5617/3...9ae462ca_b.jpg by Me, on Flickr The building is obviously not new construction so I wondered what it's use was earlier in it 'life'. I've downloaded the 1921 Baists from U$C and I found the answer. At the location just north of Macy Street there are two buildings listed as 'School', one wood frame and the other brick south of the older building closer to Macy Street. The picture of the building above is the brick building, built in 1916. The wood frame building is the Macy Street School built in 1881. https://c6.staticflickr.com/6/5702/3...421c0671_b.jpg LAUSD Here's a look inside the front door: https://c1.staticflickr.com/6/5685/3...61a24c8f_b.jpg_B280003 by Me, on Flickr The front part of the building doesn't currently have tenants, the back is the offices of Aladdin Bail Bonds(it's right next to the Men's Central Jail). P.S. I'm up to page 710, I'm catching up to y'all. |

There's a very nice cartouche on this building. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/7JfEzs.jpg gsv I thought I'd point it out since we LOST four, count'em, four cartouches dating from 1917 just last week down on S. Flower Street! (see yesterday's posts) __ |

While we're parsing the oddities of this house, there's another area where too much thought was expended on oddball styling and not enough on function and practicality...the stove is useless for much cooking beyond making coffee-- hardly any counterspace at all. JMHO |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...reetVideo1.jpg A junction has been added to the streetcar tracks to enable the loop on the right to be built. This is where the street now goes under the railroad tracks going into Union Station. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...reetVideo2.jpg This shot fits on the right of the one above, and shows the famous trio of gasometers on the right. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...reetVideo3.jpg Here's the wooden Macy Street School... http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...reetVideo4.jpg ...and the brick building next door. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...reetVideo5.jpg This little store was on the triangle opposite the brick building. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...reetVideo6.jpg Here's a close-up of the cutout Lion Head sign that can just be seen on the right of the image above. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...reetVideo7.jpg Retracing our steps, here's the other end of the temporary loop with City Hall and the cleared site of Union Station behind. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...reetVideo8.jpg The video finishes with a look down one of the neighboring residential streets. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...reetVideo9.jpg All from USC Digital Library |

Probably doing your various travels at that time....no problem. Here is my version again. The blue parts are the various water pools. The house is basically surrounded by water. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psslkj57pd.jpg |

If you don't mind, I thought I'd add a view more. Quote:
:previous: Here's the same store from an elevated vantage point. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...921/6wrUwd.jpg I thought the photographer was standing on the maintenance truck with the elevated 'tower' (visible on the left in Hoss's screengrab), but maintenance truck is pulling away in my screengrab. (did they leave him up on the utility pole? ;)) There's a nice looking bungalow at the end of this side street. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/QlvTKl.jpg Does anyone know what building that is directly behind the bungalow? (the large one with the twin smokestacks) And I think that's a shoe shine stand in front of the luncheonette.................................................................................:previous: ___ Oh and here's one more: At one point a truck crosses in front of the camera. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/AVXDFK.jpg It appears to belong to "Peviani's Meat & Groceries" http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/JjmMb5.jpg detail In 1929 (a few yrs before the video) Angelo Peviani was running the Lone Star Public Market (with a Jos Ercole) at 643 N. Main St. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...923/43G4fS.jpg lapl And living with his wife Angelina at 464 N. Indiana. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...924/DOkhti.jpg Here's what 464 N. Indiana looks like today. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...921/xv7fnI.jpg gsv And by 1934, Angelo's grocery business is at 654 1/2 N. Spring (& he's still living at 464 N. Indiana) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...923/BdX9fO.jpg lapl After that my trail goes cold. __ |
Case Study House #21.....

The stove appears to have 4 top burners, an oven and a broiler. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psbrvanruj.jpg archdaily.com Not sure a glass walled bathroom is a good idea. Maybe we can ''rethink'' that. Overall its not a kid friendly home. |
I'm in the mood for some recreation, so I'm letting Julius Shulman provide it. This is "Job 2690: William Woolett, El Segundo Recreation Center (El Segundo, Calif.), 1958".
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original There appears to be something industrial in the background. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original The final shot gives us our only view of the interior. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute Now known as the George E Gordon Recreation Clubhouse, you can find the large building at 300 E Pine Avenue. I could only get a view of the rear from the Googlemobile. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original GSV This small image shows that the front is virtually unchanged. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ecreation5.jpg www.elsegundo.org |
Has anyone heard of Albert McFarland? [photograph is date 1892]
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/nUBssV.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/Orig-1892-LO...UAAOSwB09YO3XR If I'm not mistaken, "Crown Hills" was an area between downtown and Westside Side Park. tovangar2 labeled this post 'Crown Hills, 1886-87' http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=33063 |

As GW correctly states, the kitchen does woefully lack counter space. The shallow counter below the wall fridge is almost useless. With few overhangs projecting from the windows, the sun will deeply penetrate the rooms. I would think that the only solution to that would be massive wall-to-wall, floor to ceiling drapes in all rooms. Otherwise its a house without privacy or even shade. I do like the openness and clean lines of the home but the interior environment needs total control...otherwise the building is seriously bordering on the unlivable. |

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Ay...w1680-h1050-no It took me a bit of work to get this as I had to put together two different pages of the 1910 Baist Map, at different scales and different angles, LOL. Rock Street became Fort Moore Place, and it seems that Castelar Street became Hill. At the top of the image you can see Castelar Street north of Sunset, and it lines up with the street that runs in front of the High School. |

The HS, 1890, was by Jasper Newton Preston; the best you're going to get to him or this High School is through the later, similar Coconino County Courthouse. One Mr Kent Kanouse has a HS set on Flickr, which include scans from old yearbooks. Two caught my eye as they show such great detail on the structure: https://c1.staticflickr.com/8/7106/1...9eed0aa9_z.jpg https://c6.staticflickr.com/8/7180/6...02334dd5_z.jpg As in— https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5703/3...5057922a_o.png https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5681/3...5298cf59_o.png Which thrills me to no end. So, thanks to Kent Kanouse! Also, check out this fascinating album about his old family pad at 808 S Dunsmuir. All sorts of little gems on his feed. |
