:worship: Sorry I missed your post. I thought I remembered seeing the image elsewhere, (not NLA) and the ad independently piqued my curiosity. If I recall correctly, there may have also been a listing for North Orange Grove as opposed to the strange setback on Wilshire. (Were there ever any groves there or was it just wishful thinking?) The '56CD has several listings for the same location (Theater vs. Theatre). Another is for "Lord Leon Geller Theater" WE6-5205. Hollywood royalty? Inside joke? Quote:

Per construction permits, the nearby "6100" address appears to have started as a Gilmore Station in December '35. By '53 it became a Thrifty Drug Store and later (1983 demo permit), it seems to have been occupied by a shoe store. It then was transformed into a 15 story office building (~1984). The '56CD has a listing for Thirfty Drugs at 6100 Wilshire (SW corner). '53 permit lists Fairfax and "San Diego Way" as cross streets. The latter may not be a full fledged street. :shrug: Have we seen any photos of the drug store? :shrug: Gilmore at Wilshire and Fairfax (Not to be confused with the Standard Station - east of Fairfax) http://yougottobekidding.files.wordp.../image0021.jpghttp://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=11613 Both stations (Standard and Gilmore) are evident in this overhead shot said to be from 1940. http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/vp19/...3_original.jpghttp://ic.pics.livejournal.com/vp19/...3_original.jpg http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=19709 http://waterandpower.org/5%20Histori...al_1940(2).jpghttp://waterandpower.org/5%20Histori...al_1940(2).jpg More on the immediate vicinity: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=6275 http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...eBillboard.jpghttp://skyscraperpage.com/forum/show...ostcount=25058 FWIW, I am informed that much of the May Co is currently being gutted, or at least the rear (north side) is being shorn of 1946 additions. For those in the neighborhood, it may be a photo opportunity. http://waterandpower.org/5%20Histori...ction_1939.jpghttp://waterandpower.org/5%20Histori...ction_1939.jpg |
The Julius Shulman images were unavailable over Christmas, but they're back working again today, so here's the first of the new year. Going by the date and job number, this must've been one of Mr Shulman's earliest commissions. It's "Job 099: Eisenstadt House (Los Angeles, Calif.), 1939".
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original Here's the only interior view. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute The house is at 3428 Blair Drive. The GSV image below is the best I could get as its neighbors are now much closer, and plants block some angles. The website ncmodernist.org says that the house was altered in 1978 and sold in 2003 to John D Monte. The main difference I can see from the front is the addition of the windows on the side of the garage. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original GSV |
I don't think this could be Zachary Scott. This piece is from 1928 or 1929, so if this were Zachary Scott, he would be fourteen years old....

HossC and others have explored whether this location could have been connected with the 6040 Wilshire area. http://skyscraperpage.com/forum/show...ostcount=25058 The partial signage "Lubrication." would seem to corroborate this. The "second" facility (used by Max Reinhardt) at 5939 Sunset Blvd has received prior NLA coverage. In addition to being a radio station, it was also known for serving spaghetti. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=27264 http://www.you-are-here.com/sunset/spaghetti.jpghttp://www.you-are-here.com/sunset/spaghetti.jpg |

You seem very familiar with a local bygone era. I grew up in Atwater (Village), '57 thru '68, and knew well of the places and events you mention. Cruising "Vandy's", racing Riverside Drive, and I completely forgot about the 2 Fwy, until you mentioned it (Started at Fletcher Drive and Eagle Rock Blvd, correct?). So yeah, BTDT. JMHS Class of S '67. Cheers, Andy |

Have we seen Caroline Severance's West Adams Blvd. house on NLA?
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...907/4s7VLF.jpg http://www.womenhistoryblog.com/2014...severance.html "In 1875 the Severances bought a tiny home on West Adams which they called 'Red Roof'. In 1892, Caroline Severance (now widowed) changed the name of the home to 'El Nido', Spanish for 'The Nest". 'El Nido' was a gathering place for men and women devoted to social change. She held a weekly discussion series there, and championed Christian Socialism, Progressivism, Anti-Imperialism and Peace." Here is another view, ca. 1900. In this photo a dormer window has been added (as well as a railing around the top). http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...907/IYIBe4.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/si.../id/2012/rec/7 In this view, the small home is all but obscured by the lush landscape. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...905/HtuPLu.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/si.../id/2015/rec/5 :previous: If you look closely, there is a tiny sign with the street number in the center of the photograph. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...905/zKR8Jj.jpg detail 806 W.

My first reaction was just the opposite. :uhh: Ever see Lon Chaney's portrayal of "Granny O'Grady" in Tod Browning's The Unholy Three? (1925) :runaway: https://burrellosubmarinemovies.file...n-unholy-3.jpghttps://burrellosubmarinemovies.file...n-unholy-3.jpg http://pre-code.com/wp-content/uploa...olyThree16.pnghttp://pre-code.com/wp-content/uploa...olyThree16.png |

On behalf of another NLA'er, can anyone offer any information regarding the location of the color photo. The source does not provide any indication of date or address, but there may be some serendipity at play here. ;) At the very least, the Corvair appears to be wearing a yellow-on-black plate. I am given to understand that Temple City no longer has a Winchell's Donut House, but could this have been located there? "Hi Hat Hamburgers?" |
Quote:
The nearest Winchell's donut house is in Pasadena at 571 S Lake Ave,. The Founder's family members are all multi-millionaires and engage in frivolous playboy businesses such as horse racing. The company started with a $27,000 investment [1948] and ended up being sold for $600 million [1985]. I'll have a jelly donut...thank you. My fav.!!! Is that happiness or what? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps271hx0pj.jpg insidescience.org |

Bottom line: I can't rule out your source's claim, but the evidence for ruling it in is pretty thin. Wish I could be more helpful, Bif. |

CBD, WADR, while you may think of horse racing as a frivolous business, unlike NLA, for instance, it actually provides employment as well as entertainment for many non-millionaires. No more frivolous than any other investment or pleasure and actually more remunerative and substantial than many. And very much a part of of LA, noirish and non-noirish. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--...gDayAerial.jpgarcadiasbest.com |
When I first happened across this photograph I wasn't sure what I had found.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...908/dbeyk1.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/si...d/17823/rec/21 "General store at Eighth Street and San Pedro, ca.1923" -the description also included a question, "City garden (name?)" Later, it dawned on me that this is the same 'house' that was located at the former City Garden Park!! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...911/RojNcO.jpg I posted this back in November. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=32294 originally posted by Flyingwedge http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...633/qQsWef.jpg http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=32299 __ Here are some details from the 1923 photograph.
