http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/839/vya3.jpgebay That's a big crowd for a fire. It must have been lunch hour. -notice the Steckel Studio sign. Have we heard of them? (probably a photographer's studio) __ |

Off the question: How many people can be seen in the immediate area and beneath the tree along side the street? |
This was on ebay quite some time ago. The seller was asking $750.00!

Central Park (showing the future site of the Biltmore Hotel) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/841/e98tk.jpg Main Street with the Baker Block in the distance. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/834/mqzx.jpg I'm not 100% sure which parochial school or hospital this is. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/845/5tve.jpg Many years before P.C.H. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/842/sikkb.jpg Plaza Church (long before the bell tower was remodeled) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/843/wqd5.jpg If i remember correctly, we've seen this view many times. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/837/g232.jpg I wish the seller had scanned more (there were 65) __ |

Looks to me like there might be a ring on top. Btw the LAPL has this image listed twice, with slight variations in the reproduction. It labels one "1907" and the other "1880s"--surely Spring and 5th was built up with more commercial buildings by 1907.... https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-k...2520PM.bmp.jpg |

Here's a rather noirish view with some fine lighting, also circa 1935. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/839/lst2.jpg http://decoarchitecture.tumblr.com/page/78 same angle today http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...0/839/szlz.jpg GSV __ |

More Venice Miniature Rail Road, 1905-25

http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=8542 http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=10742 Also, I unwittingly showed much of the VMRR track in my now-updated Venice Panorama post, as well as the roundhouse, carhouse, and shops for the VMRR: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=20334 1909 map showing route of the Venice Miniature Rail Road. Starting at the VMRR station at Lake Avenue and El Camino Real (lower right corner of map; now Venice and Abbot Kinney), the train traveled west past Venice Park (site of Villa City) then looped around at the end of Windward Avenue and went back east along the same route then turned north on Riviera, to Rialto, then turned right onto El Camino Real and back down to the VMRR station: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...c.jpg~original http://bjwrr.org/wp-content/uploads/...re-Railway.pdf The same area today: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...3.jpg~original Bing The loop at the end of Windward Avenue, c. 1905: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...9.jpg~original USCDL -- http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/si...id/25427/rec/5 The VMRR tracks next to Villa City, c. 1905: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...8.jpg~original USCDL -- http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co.../73511/rec/239 1910; specific location unknown, but photo shows VMRR track on bridge over canal (is that a sea serpent on the far side of the bridge?): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...2.jpg~original Huntington Digital Library -- http://hdl.huntington.org/cdm/single...d/11825/rec/46 1912: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...e.jpg~original LAPL -- http://jpg1.lapl.org/pics19/00009151.jpg c. 1912: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...9.jpg~original CA State Library -- http://catalog.library.ca.gov/exlibr...4P5ITIA1D1.jpg 1925: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...b.jpg~original USCDL -- http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/si.../90937/rec/312 Taking up the tracks, 1925: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...9.jpg~original USCDL -- http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/si.../90946/rec/320 And, as pointed out here (http://silentlocations.wordpress.com...onica-waves-2/), you can see the VMRR in action in a wince-inducing Hal Roach/Our Gang ripoff, The New Engine Driver, apparently by The Century Kids (no date; original titles in Dutch). A couple screen grabs: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...c.jpg~original http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...b.jpg~original Watch the movie here (VMRR first appears around the 4:00 minute mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uArLF-B8pgE At the very end of the movie, a little girl jumps into Aldebaran Canal; I'm not sure if this is the same bridge, but the area looks similar. It looks like this bridge has a sea serpent on it as well: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...8.jpg~original USCDL -- http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co.../73418/rec/245 More on VMRR: http://www.lawesterners.org/wp-conte...-FALL-1999.pdf http://bjwrr.org/wp-content/uploads/...re-Railway.pdf http://www.westland.net/venicehistor...venice-map.htm http://www.westland.net/venicehistory/articles/rail.htm (previously noted) |
