Thanks for sharing that, Jungmann. I like those kinds of stories on this forum, that go along with the photos! |

I don't think this Julius Shulman subject needs any introduction. It's "Job 45: Beverly Hills Hotel (Beverly Hills, Calif.), 1947". There are 36 images in the set - I've picked 10.

I am also hunting for a picture which I want to match with the one of the boy and his dog fishing at Toluca Lake. The boy in the picture looks like my dad, or possibly one of my uncles and the dog is very like their dog at the time, I just have to find it. |
Hollywood Park Subdivision
Does anyone know where the Hollywood Park subdivision was? The ad says to get off the Hollywood car a mile west of the Hollywood Hotel, which is the only clue, but I can't lock down the boundaries:

[Arthur] Taube Plumbing. 3200 Wabash Ave. 1928, per source although address appears in '32CD. Hill probably made moving heavy water heaters . . . awkward. http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/o...4.jpg~originalhttp://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...oll170/id/5917 http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/o...d.jpg~originalGoogleSVU Where did Charles Ray shop for plumbing?http://skyscraperpage.com/forum/show...ostcount=38035 Nautical motif, circa 1936 (?) (A similar image appeared on ebay but has since vanished. Ship's log does not indicate where she dropped anchor. "987"?) Taube Plumbing Supply Co. Street No. "987" :shrug: http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/4415b1abd226e4f5_largehttp://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/4415b1abd226e4f5_large |

LA Times via Proquest via CSULB Library http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...psjq7zoipa.jpg LA Times via Proquest via CSULB Library It seems the name changed from Hollywood Park Terrace to just Hollywood Park. Edit: "The tract is located at the crest of Cahuenga Pass" (Los Angeles Times, 12/21/1921). |

Favorite ER pix
My favorite ER pix is the one where he is in front of the old casino on Catalina Island...looking like a make model for a travel magazine...

Thank you odinthor.
I think the ad is for the West Hollywood one (I still can't quite imagine the boundaries). The one in Cahuenga Pass is east of the Hotel Hollywood. There was another on Lankershim with its "Wonder" springs. Too many "Hollywood Parks" |
Hard to believe that the tower-like structure seen in the Taube Plumbing photo (not the ship but the one on Wabash Ave) of both the historical and GSV has survived. At first I thought it was a support structure for an overhead sign, much like what you'd see as a gateway sign to a small town Main Street business district. But upon closer inspection on GSV the structure is a power pole. Never seen anything like it.

Westlake Hotel, 720 S. Westlake Avenue
This is 720 S. Westlake Avenue:
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...pstfhzzlmg.jpg Jan 2017 GSV You have to get an aerial view to see it has a rear section with three stories, plus there's a little house in back. Please note the two third-story corners that face Westlake Avenue: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1ywdonso.jpg Google Earth (looking east) http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6xtarfmf.jpg Bing (looking northwest) This is how the Westlake Hotel appeared on the 1950 Sanborn Map: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psmm5tv0sn.jpg ProQuest via LAPL The Westlake had a major remodel in 1939; there are building permits for new rooms and baths and the construction of a 15-foot-deep addition to the front of the building (September 6) and for exterior stucco (November 10). This is how the Westlake looked before the remodel: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psh9kxbqxq.jpg 1906 Sanborn @ ProQuest via LAPL This undated photo of the Westlake Hotel appears to have been taken after 1922 (see note at end of post). You can see why today the building's third-story corners look the way they do: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psknmxqdo1.jpg CA State Library This postcard view of the Westlake -- which first appears in the 1898 LA City Directory -- has a message that's dated April 25, 1905, so obviously this photo is at least that old. The kid in the street is standing on the edge of a circle he's drawn in the dirt, and he's holding a stick in his hand: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1smr8uty.jpg 486993 @ Huntington Digital Library The building to the left of the Westlake Hotel in the above photo, 716 Westlake Avenue, was moved in 1922 (BP dated Oct 26) to 1254 W. 84th Street, where it still is today, though it's cut down to one story and hard to recognize. |
