CBD emailed me asking for information on the Senator Apartments located at Wilshire and Valencia. (he used to visit the building as a child)
The only thing I could find were these two photographs of the hallway. http://imageshack.us/a/img822/6329/a...aysenatora.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img844/6048/a...enatorapts.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...id/41468/rec/4 http://imageshack.us/a/img22/9547/aa...atorapts19.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...id/41468/rec/4 http://imageshack.us/a/img248/7661/a...smclintock.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...id/41468/rec/4 http://imageshack.us/a/img845/10/aabhallwaymissm2.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...id/41468/rec/4 __ Other than that, I found a photograph of a Hotel Senator that I didn't know existed. http://imageshack.us/a/img818/5567/a...telsenator.jpg http://photos.lapl.org/carlweb/jsp/F...rolNumber=2515 This is a view along Main Street in the 700 block south.

The car itself is a Los Angeles Railway Type C, “Sowbelly”, so named for it’s low under-slung center profile. It was one of 259-center entrance cars built to accommodate the Hobble-skirt craze, which began in America shortly after the turn of the century. The first “Sowbelly” was completed in November of 1912 and entered service on January 19th, 1913. Seventy-six of the type were built new, and the remainder from older cars. While the type survived until 1945, no more were built as the hobble-skirt craze faded, and jitney buses began to eat heavily into LARY patronage and profits. In addition, it required both a motorman to run it and a conductor to collect fares. Only one example of the type survives, No. 936, awaiting restoration at the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, CA. Cheers, Jack |

The business took up a large amount of real estate on the 2200 block of Santa Fe Avenue, e.g., 2209 and 2257. For those interested in that vicinity (Vernon ?) or the history of this tool manufacturer in the LA area, some interesting detective work can be found here>> http://plombtools.com/the-plomb-factory/ and here>> http://home.comcast.net/~alloy-artif...y.html#history http://plombtools.com/wp-content/upl.../Composite.pnghttp://plombtools.com/wp-content/upl.../Composite.png The '29 directory listing for Plomb Tools is 2009 Santa Fe. http://rescarta.lapl.org:8080/ResCar...arch_doc=plomb Mr. Plomb's residence at 7718 Maie Avenue (Near Nadeau Street) is not extant.

I wish DJ Waldie hadn't called Arcade Station "utilitarian". That stung a little. I really liked it. I thought it was both pretty and friendly. A big bungalow. Oh, to have an hour's visit with George W Hazard. Apparently he knew everything |
