The restroom areas near the old concourse once had a child care facility in the ladies lounge and a barber shop and shoe shine station in the mens lounge. Much of the old equipment and furniture is in storage under the station in repositories. There are also hundreds of old ceramic tiles, make-up counters for the Harvey Girls (who worked in the Harvey House) and file cabinets containing paperwork going back decades. |
Here's a not-so-mystery location.
Original Slide, no date. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/PnTPMe.jpg eBay no longer listed Unless I'm mistaken (I'm not) this is the old Misses Janes School for Girls before it was moved several hundred feet away from Hollywood Blvd. to the back of the lot. 1907 Sanborn / before the move (pinkish dot) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/0u2EZN.jpg Prospect is now Hollywood Blvd. Previously seen HERE courtesy 3940dxer. If you'd like to see a 1905 photograph of the house along Prospect Ave. go HERE. The Misses Janes School is still standing and is currently the _____________. (I can't find the website) Did it close? Today, the old Janes School is practically hidden from view in all directions. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/ztBXDa.jpg That's Hollywood Blvd. at the bottom. / Google-Earth . |

That's exactly what it is. Here's another view, (sorry, I'm posting from my cellphone so it's not easy to paste an image, so here's the link): https://calisphere.org/item/ark:/21198/zz0002vddc/ |

This is intriguing: Down a back alley off Hollywood Boulevard, past the old-fashioned hotel entryway beneath a flickering ‘No Vacancy’ sign and up an eerie staircase, three doors await you in a lushly decorated hallway—behind one of them lies the secret entrance to Hollywood’s most spectacular speakeasy-style cocktail bar. Inside, you’ll find antique bookshelves, tightrope walkers, fire-breathing dancers, live music, handmade cigars, a photo booth inside a phone booth, a variety of hidden corners and staircases, and the best cocktails in town, in true speakeasy style. You must be on "the list" to enter. Arrive early if you’re not on the list, dress to impress, and best of luck getting in. ___ This has been open quite a long time! Not that I've been out clubbing in Hollywood the last decade. Those pictures inside are a trip. I'd not heard of this being turned into a nightclub. It made me wonder what the place was used for all these years before it. Then I saw one old photo that says it was the Starline Tours headquarters and visitor information center. (People would go all the way back there to find visitor information? :shrug: |

In the photograph below you can see the old gas station ("Janes Auto Service") and some sort of outdoor stand on the left. (I see a scale so perhaps he's selling fruit and vegetables) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/eTytqj.jpg 1930s? In the next photograph a photo studio has been set up in front of the defunct service station. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/hw3xID.jpg The girls are wondering if the house is haunted.

Now for something more recent. mystery location, Hollywood California 1970s Is anyone familiar with the Golden West Broadcasters? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/LUhd3g.jpg eBay The seller states "Car at KTLA "so perhaps Golden West Broadcasting is a subsiduary of KTLA. :shrug: . |

I used to live on Gordon Street in an apartment building owned by Gene Autry and worked on Highland in a building owned by Roy Rogers. Guy Madison was a client. Growing up, they were all cowboy heroes. |

Thanks for the correction: Janes' Auto Service, not Jane's Auto Supply. The building in the background is still on Whitley Avenue, I believe. It is next to the Re-Tan Hotel. The Fontenoy is also seen in the background. |

Bing Maps KTLA building on Mt. Wilson. Look up if you dare. (Bing has better streetviews here) |

KTLA Channel 5 spawned my love of old movies, first through their frequent airing of Marx Brothers and W. C. Fields films made at Paramount (in prime time no less!) and later through "Movies 'til Dawn" which featured lots of obscure gems of every genre. https://i.postimg.cc/kgp59rGB/KTLA.gif |

The $100 flivver (Model T or A?) for sale catches my eye. I wonder what it would sell for today? I wonder if somebody turned it into a "hot rod"? |
Some more Janes House.
I don't know if this is a fanciful notion based on coincidence or not. :shrug: https://i.imgur.com/hjIlXke.jpg Google Books - Hollywood Remembered by Paul Zollo A 1982 article on Carrie Janes Collier and the house. https://i.imgur.com/9ksaTRE.jpg newspapers.com - Los Angeles Times 03 Oct 1982 Mentioned at the end of the article, here's Guy Miller in 1956 setting up his scale model of the Manhattan skyline. https://i.imgur.com/EkelAtD.jpg gothamist.com |
Yoink!
I want to know who the conservator was, because of course he decided that she needed to go, AND also decided to sell her house to developers.
S.M.H. Typical. I am glad that it wasn't torn down. In fact I was kind of shocked. |
