Mary Mallory has an article on the early Hollywood photographer Nelson Evans on Larry Harnisch's blog:

Evans' studio was at 6039 Hollywood Blvd. I couldn't get the search to come up with anything, but then I never seem able to :-(

Cheers,

Earl

Looks like it is next door to the Museum of Death. The building is a single story fronting Hollywood Blvd.

Google Earth took me to the back of the building which is 2-stories. All I see is a 3-D building render by GoogleEarth. You can see it from a block away and has large window in the back.

I recognized this one right way.
It's a colorized photo of a bunch of people enjoying the flowers just outside of Rubio Canyon in what is now Altadena. The area was previously known as Las Flores by the Spanish for obvious reasons. You can see the electric rail line in the background that would take passengers to the funicular that ran up to Echo Mt.

That's Las Flores Canyon in the center top of the photo.

A friend sent me this image from her computer, which she says was taken from a postcard (i.e., origin unknown), asking for an i.d. (she and I have
been discussing the area straddling Wilshire between about 1st and 7th streets). After a bit of digging, I found that it was the Towers Apartments.
When I came across the LAPL pic, in which the building looks forlorn and has an ominous sidewalk shed... I knew that it had to be gone...

Harvey, Clements & Beelman at Wilshire and Western
 

Thx BiffRayRock for the Wilshire at Wilton pix. The Wilshire Professional Building (Arthur E. Harvey, 1929) on the north side of Wilshire and the Pellissier Building (Stiles O. Clements, 1931) on the south were such a great counterpoint to each other until Claud Beelman's undistinguished Getty Oil Headquarters Building (1961) totally skewed the scale of this section of Wilshire and almost completely blocked the view of the Pellissier from the west.

The twenty-three-story Getty Oil Headquarters/Mercury Insurance Building (3800 Wilshire at Western), flanked in the view above by the 13-story Wilshire Professional Building on the left and the 12-story Pellissier/Wiltern Building on the right.

Too bad the architect of the Eastern Columbia Building ended up wrecking such havoc on our other favorite green building.

...another 'mystery' house.

Does anyone know if this 'memorial' is still at LAX?

The scene at "International Airport" (not "the International Airport," but simply "International Airport," as LAX was commonly referred to back then),
near midnight on November 14, 1954, prior to the inaugural flight.

I found this after reading your post.
An early postcard of the Ambassador's French Room.

By the time of the 1954 trans-polar flight the French Room looked more like this. (the lattice work has survived)

Does anyone have a floor plan of the Ambassador? I'd like to see where this French Room was located.

:previous: Excellent! First time I've ever seen a picture of this side of the 100 block of S. Broadway from this angle. Wish I could find a similar shot of the other side of the street here! -Scott

I haven't seen this beautiful building before. Thank your friend for sharing it with us GW. :)
