The LACLO brought road productions into LA for 6 weeks at the auditorium and then the production moved to the Pasadena Civic for one additional week before heading for San Francisco. |

:previous: Very interesting CBD. It's looking a bit shabby these days (with the hand painted sign...the crumpled venetian blinds, etc.)
Luckily the elaborate grill-work is still in place as well as other architectural details. __ |

She was mentored by Bernard Maybeck (much mentioned elsewhere on the thread) starting during her last year at Cal. It was he who encouraged her to go to École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts for her architecture degree. |

Historic Los Angeles Theaters (https://sites.google.com/site/downto...res/auditorium) gives it all to Beelman as does Big Orange Landmarks (http://bigorangelandmarks.blogspot.c...uditorium.html). No wonder I was confused. Does anyone have the story on the little building directly east of the Auditorium? I don't think I've ever seen it identified. |
Here is a remarkable postcard showing the extravagances bestowed upon Hollywood premiers, in this case 'The Good Earth' (1937).
http://imageshack.us/a/img801/4702/a...clethegood.jpg ebay It says the exhibit was in the forecourt, but from this postcard you can see that it also extended down the boulevard facing Carthay Circle. The theater's tower can be seen in the distance. below: the postcard makes me think the exhibit extended quite a ways down the blvd. http://imageshack.us/a/img703/5461/aabgoodea1a.jpg gsv http://imageshack.us/a/img21/6378/aabcarthaya1924.jpg http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...&postcount=719 http://imageshack.us/a/img594/1583/aabcarthaya1b.jpg http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...&postcount=719 __ |
afterthought: 'The Good Earth' won the Academy Award for best picture of 1937.

This station was at the southeast corner of 3rd and Normandie; 3rd Street is in the foreground. The apartment building in the background is the Elmwood at 326 S. Normandie. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_...2520PM.bmp.jpgGSV |

Hey GW. Thanks.

Here's a look at the Elmwood Apt. http://imageshack.us/a/img854/330/aa...mandienear.jpg gsv I'd like to get closer look at the embellishments atop the two dormer windows. They look fairly unique. __ |
Does anyone remember when the Title Guarantee and Trust Building had this sign?
http://imageshack.us/a/img10/241/aab...ifebuildin.jpg ebay Whenever I see a photograph like this I check the windows to see if there's anything nefarious going on. One day I expect to solve a murder this way. ;) The complete photograph showing people gathered in Pershing Square. http://imageshack.us/a/img856/3680/a...lifeb2ebay.jpg ebay And what about the fountain? __ |

As to the change in the building facing on San Pedro: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps42d5a199.jpg USC Digital Library -- http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/si...d/14500/rec/13 I think this was taken after our palm was moved. The reason the palm was moved to begin with was to build a warehouse (this according to Nathan Masters http://www.lamag.com/citythink/cityt...dest-palm-tree), which is what appears to be going on in the photo below. The single story pitched roof building seems to be in the process of being remodeled into the two-story structure with a pediment pictured above: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psa52957ce.jpg LAPL -- http://jpg3.lapl.org/pics37/00068408.jpg The photo of the large mansion in your post, identified as Woodworth's, does not appear to bear any relation to the Woodworth home on San Pedro. The smaller structure, in the same photo,looks to be its carriage house. It does seem extraordinary that these trees, such landmarks and so famous that cabinet cards were being sold picturing them: Quote:
Yet I could find no photos of the replanting at Exposition Park or the placing of the monument. The tree is not mentioned in any of the histories of Agricultural/Exposition Park I've seen. Maybe its anonymity has protected it. I would enjoy seeing its little circle of fence restored. P.S. The "Pierce" in the Pierce and McConnell name on the cabinet card was CC Pierce: http://www.oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark...8vx0hb8/admin/ |
