Many thanks, N_N and Flyingwedge! Let us hope that the advocates of keeping at least the facade of the old building come to the fore again. It gives a human, warm touch, and would be appropriate for a cafe or other such component to the larger project. Edit Add: For the record, just a final summing up for this suite of addresses (1352, 1354, 1356, 1358). From just after the current structure's being built (1925), into the early 1930s, the addresses hosted businesses of the nature of light industry. I'm seeing auto repair and supply, nickel plating, printing, tool company, art supply, metal goods. The outlier is that 1356 became first a dealer in Beer (ca. 1935), and then a restaurant site (1936, 37, 38 . . . and I didn't check further). |

Thanks OJC1927! And welcome! |
The apartment building is on the SE corner of 9th Street and Wilton in the westernmost edge of the Koreatown area, just above Olympic Bl. to the south and Wilshire to the north. It's still standing but currently undergoing renovations.

As strange and bizarre as this may sound, I'm 95% sure that the woman holding the baby in this photo is my grandmother and the baby is my mother. I sent you a private message Lorendoc with the details. I hope you see it and get back to me. =)

Close, But No Cigar Periscope. Christine Larson Love Nest, 1624 N. Beverly Glen [now demolished] Quote:
It makes me sad to see these simple houses (love nests?) destroyed. I can just imagine what the new owners of the land plan to build there. No doubt something four or five times larger. ...*shakes head in dismay* https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/VjgMeY.jpg eBay I'm surprised that Ms. Larson was given 4th billing on the movie poster for, The Well [1951] https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/FWvR5P.jpg imdb On imdb she is listed sixteenth in official credit order. (I believe she played a waitress)....Someone pulled some serious strings to get her name on the poster. Welcome to the thread, OJC1927. :hi: . |

"The Well" was loosely based on the late 1940s Kathy Fiscus tragedy. Fiscus was a little girl who fell into an abandoned well in Sierra Madre (or was it San Marino?) and died. It was one of the first stories covered at the scene remotely by TV news. It made KTLA and a few other stations and TV set sales surged. LA oldtimers still talk about the Fiscus tragedy today. In the 1980s there was a baby in a well case in Texas that garnered lots of coverage, but fortunately she was saved. |

Here'a fun image. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/XCwUdJ.jpg old file / eBay Myers Mfg. Co. "Swim Easy" Revue Industrial Exposition Los Angeles, 1922 I found this newspaper clipping of Myrna Loy modeling a "Swim Easy" bathing suit. (but I don't believe Myrna Loy is one of the lovely ladies shown in the group photo) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/924/LMLhzj.jpg old file [no date] . |

A "Swim-Easy" mystery location. I believe the "Myers Mfg. Co. might be out of San Francisco but the photograph below was taken by a Los Angeles based photographer (Chateau Art Studio) so I'd say the setting is possibly Los Angeles. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/VcovbI.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/FIRIse.jpg Does the surrounding area look familiar to anyone? The stitching on the swimsuit is beautiful. I believe she's holding her bathing cap. She forgot to wash her feet. I wonder if the model is a silent film actress. . .ala Myrna Loy....(I have an idea who she might be but I need to do some research first) . |
