I appreciate the follow-ups on the Bethany Temple, Lojack & odinthor. :) Quote:
..(I skipped over the religious parts) A mystery building. The PDF begins with a story about a "partially blind frenchman" (Louis D. Cornuelle) building a basement beneath an already-built three story wall in downtown Los Angeles. at the corner of Los Angeles St. and Winston. I'm hoping one of you fine sleuths can figure out what building (at Los Angeles St. & Winston) this story is about. Here's the story. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/lTV41f.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/d6PQM7.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/U8esRy.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/qYotr9.jpg Actually, there are two buildings in the story. The corner building and the adjacent 'three story wall' building. . |
I'm pretty sure this snapshot is from the same album that had the 'Sierra Madre Church' (Bethany Temple) photo in it.
Vermont Ave. ...1 - 11 - 25............ https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/F2yKkR.jpg eBay Does anyone recognize this spot? .

Here is a closer look at the buildings on the left. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/ZjTdeS.jpg Not much to see. ....There might be a billboard in the mix. . |

GAS-O-METER sighting!
"1937 Press Photo AFL CIO Labor Riot Aftermath 1930s Los Angeles".................................................... https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/vqaQOV.jpg eBay The information mentions "Market Court". INFO. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/5O2ayj.jpg Where was Market Court? .....(obviously at one of the markets, but which one?) If I remember correctly, there used to be a market near Chinatown...on..umm...Almeda St. :shrug: . |

Where Los Angeles Street turns right it leads straight into the front parking lot of Union Station. This was once the old alignment of Sunset when it skirted the north side of the Plaza.* During that time this section of road was variously signed as East Sunset or Marchessault, and listed either way in city directories. So the Lugo House along with its neighbors might have been saved, but that small triangular area between Alameda and L.A. Street was razed for a small park, and a parking lot. Hail progress! *Sometime during the 1960s Sunset Boulevard was realigned one block north, to the northern end of Olvera Street, and Marchessault was closed to vehicular traffic. Although the El Pueblo management does their best to convince us that Marchessault/Sunset was never more than a quaint small town horse and buggy street, before the realignment it was a multi-lane boulevard--essentially the continuation of Sunset east of Main Street. Past the Plaza to the east, East Sunset/Marchessault led straight into the Union Station parking lot. |

It's at 7th and Market Court and the photo is flipped horizontally. The buildings on the left of the photo(should be right) are the produce market buildings. 7th makes a turn at Alameda and so the view would be looking straight at the Gas-O-Meter. https://i.postimg.cc/g25QYGNw/vqaQOV.jpg |

I posted this photo, and HossC commented on it several years ago. |
re: Bethany Temple, Sierra Madre CA.......(...for those of you who didn't good through the PDF of the booklet) ... Thanks again, Lojack.
This rotunda was completed first. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/q9GYzg.jpg A sideview showing the original rotunda situated behind the the larger rotunda of the Bethany Temple, Sierra Madre. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/DNDV8A.jpg Lastly, the final congregation outside the old Bethany Church, 1956. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/921/iCoofU.jpg Joe Hinojos, sierramadrenews If the church was structurally sound..pox on them. I just noticed the little flag pole with the plaque. It seems awfully short. (oh wait...maybe it continues upward)..or is that a tree? . |

The original posts are well worth revisiting, especially Lorendoc's here. My follow-up is here. It appears to be a UCLA image which is clearer in Lorendoc's post. |

E.R. - I believe the old produce market you were thinking about was this one on Central near E. Third St. in Little Tokyo. https://i.postimg.cc/4N2GwwzL/la1111...ducemarket.jpg LA1111cityproducemarket We discussed this years ago here, and I think you may have originally posted this image? Not sure. This is me trying to remember stuff from years ago...:koko: I only remember this photo because it was right down the street from where I worked. |
