photo: ssilberman/flickr http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/...psznrr5vhq.jpg ssilberman These slides are labeled "Santa Monica, 1949"...the year seems right but not the location....in this next one it seems the photographer is in the same spot, and swings around to this: http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/...psntjdybh8.jpg I think this might be Dockweiler Beach, and the street Vista Del Mar...and the houses seen here part of the Surfridge neighborhood that was razed in the '60's for LAX expansion. A further clue is that the same collection has this image: http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/...psy7zoxhmu.jpg This corner, Epinard St. and Rindge Av., was in Surfridge: http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/...pshwggnsjg.jpg |

These were the houses west of LAX, and under the flight path, that were demolished. The beach photo is Dockweiler State Beach.

"Radiobar" with the bar cabinet open at the Brock & Company Jewelry Store, Los Angeles CA [1935-38] http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/924/CRUw0f.jpg http://digital2.library.ucla.edu/vie...198/zz002j94xn The Radiobar company was formed by Earnest J. Krauss in 1931, 2 years before the end of Prohibition, in Los Angeles. By 1935 Radiobar was using Philco chassis. "Radiobar Philco" is visible between the knobs shown below. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...924/mXI3Ne.jpg detail Here's a bit more about the store itself. "Brock & Company Jewelers was the most important jewelry and giftware store in Los Angeles. Founded by George A. Brock in 1903, it was sold in 1964 and the business ended a few years later. The main store was located at 515 West Seventh St. and had a 2nd location at the Beverly-Wilshire Hotel." Here is 515 W. Seventh St. today. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...924/CdOwl3.jpg http://www.whereislosangeles.com/En/...Restaurant/284 I imagine the decorative iron gate :previous: is left over from it's days as a jewelry store. __ information from: http://digital2.library.ucla.edu/vie...198/zz002j94xn |
'mystery' location

Does anyone know where the 'official' garage of the Auto Club of Southern California was located? "Classic Garage & Body Works" [January 18, 1933] http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/WIu3o4.jpg http://digital2.library.ucla.edu/vie...198/zz002hbntc from ucla: "View of an automobile parked outside of an art deco style garage with a sign reading "Classic Garage & Body Works, Official Garage of the Auto Club of Southern California." A man stands on the sidewalk on the right and another man is behind a garage service truck on the left. The car pulling into the garage probably belongs to Harry Meagher*, who was killed by an assailant with a gun in his car. In the course of the struggle, Meagher shot and killed the assailant as well. An address sign on the garage reads "6245." hmmm.....so the ucla archive doesn't know the location either. __ Let's take a closer look. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/x20PWt.jpg http://digital2.library.ucla.edu/vie...198/zz002hbnqt Did anyone notice the lady in the window next to the mirror? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...924/OJoqs9.jpg well, it appears she likes her job. :) |
:previous:
Perhaps it was 6245 Lexington: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...b.jpg~original 1932 LACD @ LAPL USC has an interior shot of 6245 Lexington here; the front window and ceiling beams seem to match what we see in the UCLA pic.

Auto Club of Southern California - Approved garages
Quote:
It doesn't seem to be one garage, just approved ones, like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/jH...=w1006-h246-no ebook :previous: The list (from 1920) is kinda long & in tiny type so I did't post it. It's at the link above. Does the Auto Club still contract with garages? |

ETA. I've just found the following advert in a collection called C. Hart Merriam papers relating to work with California Indians, 1850-1974. (bulk 1898-1938). It contains the name and address, and shows the phone number from the tow truck. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...sicGarage1.jpg archive.org |

A grainy screenshot from a compilation of home movies described below--some LA at beginning & end, other California places, NYC & DC-- by American Airlines DC-3... http://pepperdine.contentdm.oclc.org...ll1/id/5/rec/3 "This film is a composite of several short home movies shot by James L. Lovell on silent, color 8mm film between about 1939 and 1942. Jimmy Lovell was a good friend of George and Helen Pepperdine, as well as other Pepperdine administrators, such as Batsell Baxter and Hugh M. Tiner, who appear briefly in this film. Lovell was also an important figure in the Churches of Christ community. The majority of the footage follows Lovell and his family on their travels around the country by air on an early American Airlines DC-3, with a lot of sites shot from the plane window. Sites include San Francisco, Sequoia National Park, Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon, Washington DC, and New York City. There is a scene at a tennis match with celebrities in the audience and the last several minutes of the film feature the 1939 Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena, California, with a young Shirley Temple as Grand Marshall."

In a previous post (above), I was looking for that brick building. I still haven't discovered it yet, but was informed that there are two very smilar buildings at 1227 and 1229 South Central Avenue in Glendale, CA. Please compare the Google Street View pic below. Does anyone happen to know the architect or how to find out who the architect was? My guess is that this might help locate the building I am looking for. Certainly not sure about this kind of cross reference, but it might be worth giving it a try. GSV: http://www.falconcrest.org/research/...alGlendale.jpg |

It's a shame the right side of this building (9026 Melrose Avenue) cannot be seen now. The building that's blocking that view (9044 Melrose Avenue) at present is where NAPSTER is located, last I knew. These two buildings do not look good together side by side. This location is also a few hundred feet from where the AMPAS headquarters (Academy Award Theater) used to be located, and was located when Mr. Shulman's photos were taken. |

Thanks for the extra info, Martin Pal. We're back to private homes for today's Julius Shulman post, but it is a Malibu beach house. This is "Job 5415: William Provisor, Luster House (Malibu, Calif.), 1977". Here's a selection. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original I was going to stick with the color images, but there wasn't one of this view. I think the photographer is reflected in the window. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original You'd have to like wood to live here - it covers nearly every interior and exterior surface. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original Despite the wood, the interior is very light and airy. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original The stairs lead up to this walkway. I assume the doors are closets. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original This is the upstairs room with the ocean view. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute With all that wood next to the ocean, I didn't hold out much hope of the house surviving, but here it is at 23768 Malibu Road. I like the name of the company in the top-left :). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...7.jpg~original Google Maps via supercharge.info It looks like the Luster name in the description refers to Elizabeth Luster, and possibly her physician husband Dr Henry Luster. Elizabeth Luster was the adopted daughter of Max Factor, Sr's daughter Freda. I've only managed to find that Henry Luster is deceased, but not when. Getting considerably more internet coverage than both of his parents, their son, Andrew Luster, appears to be currently incarcerated for date-rape charges originating in 2000. He was born in 1963, and the house was built in 1974, so 23768 Malibu Road could have been one of his childhood homes. |

It makes total sense that they filmed it in OP, since they had shot scenes with the same Elsie-girl in OP: https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2935/3...60e14fe9_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2925/3...24df3f14_b.jpg I was narrowing down the address myself when I saw on this page that Central Grammar was on Washington, NW corner of Westminster. Which doesn't exist, until I rememberd that that part of Washington had been renamed (in 1990, becoming Abbot Kinney). It's noirishly gratifying of course to look back in time and see that these chi-chi businesses were once comfortably downmarket. https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2883/3...a9288762_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2859/3...8c7c5c53_b.jpg Besides its mid-century noir heritage, this was also, apparently, the apartment of BCPD Detective Sergeant Kenneth 'Hutch' Hutchinson— https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3856/3...8893f574_b.jpg |
