Spade meets Mr. Nixon ??
Quote:
Western Swing musician Spade Cooley was indicted on April 26, 1961 by a Kern County grand jury for the April 3 murder of his wife at the couple's Willow Springs home. Spade was convicted of first-degree murder by a Kern County, CA jury on August 21, 1961 after unexpectedly withdrawing an insanity plea. He was spared death in the gas chamber and sentenced to life in prison. Was Spade on 90 day parole before he was sent to prison? He meets Nixon after he was convicted? Historically all of this is interesting and most curious. |

The source suggests the compliation of photos is a mish mash of dates from both the '56 and '60 presidential campaigns. One of the photos bears a November '61 date. However, it is likely that the Spade Cooley photo was before the '60 election and thus, would have predated Mrs. Cooley's alleged "fall in the shower" by many months. Per Wiki, curious allegations regarding Roy Rogers.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spade_Cooley Pat Brady, Nellybelle, Bullet and Trigger? |

I agree that it looks that way, but I think that's down to the most recent paint scheme. Compare it with the 2011 image below. I haven't managed to find any vintage pictures of the building either with or without extra floors. The property websites suggest a build date of 1930. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...W6thStreet.jpg GSV |

I was at that hospital a couple of times in the mid-eighties - certainly nothing remarkable about it then. Nursing home clientele, no Marilyn, typical community hospital of its time. Here is a Bing bird's-eye view of the place, and you can see by comparing the roof in the 1930s views, it's the same building today. http://i.imgur.com/aVGUxzQ.jpg |

I couldn't find much on the origins of any of the four—anyone? Perhaps an intact junction is less rare than I think. Can anyone find others? https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-f...2520AM.bmp.jpg HOULBOORSH Arms? |

The sign actually says "Holdsworth Arms", although I found nothing when I Googled it (other than this picture). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...sworthArms.jpg Anika Malone on Flickr ETA: The Holdsworth Arms Apartments at 3875 W 6th Street appear in the City Directories between 1926 and 1960. |
Wurdeman & Becket Streamline Moderne in West Hollywood
Hi everyone!
Kim Cooper and Richard Schave of Esotouric suggested we start posting here. We're trying to save the Wurdeman & Becket Streamline Moderne at 9080 Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood. Dr. Eugene C Jones built his Dog and Cat Hospital in 1928 and hired Walter Wurdeman and Welton Becket to re-design the facade, interior and make an addition to the east side of the building in 1938. We need letters written to the West Hollywood City Council by August 10th and to have as many people as possible at the meeting on August 18th. For more information, go to https://www.facebook.com/savetheSMBstreamlinemoderne/info Here's a photo from 1939/1940 of the exterior of the building. Such a beauty! https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...55503259_n.jpg Photo credit: Wurdeman & Becket, Bruce Becket Archives |

Such a fantastic photo! The photo album it came from was actually owned by the Jones family. (We tried to get it on ebay.) Strange coincidence.

Interior of Wurdeman & Becket Streamline Moderne in West Hollyood
Wurdeman & Becket designed the entire interior of Dr Jones' Dog and Cat Hospital. This photo is from 1939/1940 and represents their early work and an excellent example of their Total Design.
Here's a photo of one of the exam/surgery rooms in the Dog and Cat Hospital. https://scontent-a-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/...39&oe=54523E2APhoto credit: Wurdeman & Becket, Bruce Becket Archives |
