If I lived in that house I would want that 1956 black and white photograph framed and hanging in my dining room. __ |

Was the Hall of Records meant to have an adjoining extension at a later date? a connecting high level bridge perhaps? Notice in this shot that the facade on the side has a rather plain utilitarian area on it, seems to be lacking any detail, especially in the area with the blocked in windows above the cornice that rings the middle of the building. The 4 large windows here are at odds to the others on that level, I notice that this is repeated at the other end of the building Or am I reading too much into it:sly: |

1960s ad/ebay __[/QUOTE] 1960's ad for what? Besides the obvious (and I can't believe they were sufficently enlightened to allow it) what could this be advertising? Apartment house living? Short haircuts? The two guys pretty much dominate the image but they're not advertising anything in the traditional, 1960's sense. You'd think one of them would be holding up a bottle of Brew 102 or a pack of Chesterfields. |

The city of WeHo was able to get the state to "dismiss" the Ellis Act on the building. That enabled the city to work with Jerome Nash (building owner) on future pans for the building. On 9/5, they entered into an agreement and issued a conditional use permit to him. He is absolutely required to replace all windows with the ones approved by the city (what started this whole brouhaha), but then he does have the option of using the building as an apartment house, condominium building (they would waive the minimum parking spaces requirement), or convert the building into a boutique hotel. Mr. Nash has 120 days from 9/5 to submit his final proposal. Bottom Line, The El Mirador has been saved from ruin or demolition! ~Jon Paul |

Interesting, in 1934 Union Station was going to come all the way to Los Angeles St.
We've seen photographs like this before, maybe we've even seen this very image and I didn't notice (stranger things have happened) but here the plan includes laying the new train station out to Los Angeles Street not Alameda. Have we talked about this before?

Sy Devore, a sartorial mecca in the 1960s. http://imageshack.us/a/img832/6572/s1533vinestreet.jpg postcard/ebay http://imageshack.us/a/img560/3043/s...960svinest.jpg wait a minute.....doesn't that building look familiar? Sure enough, it's the old Tom Breneman's 'Breakfast in Hollywood' building. I had no idea this is where Sy Devore was located. http://imageshack.us/a/img853/7176/sbobplunkettsc.jpg http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=4136 Check out this amazing post on the Tom Breneman's building (you can even catch it in the background of an old Doris Day movie) http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=4136 __ |

A few more of my mashups. If these don't seem appropriate to this thread I'll stop posting them.

It doesn't really matter--it's a great shot whatever the year--but I think this is most likely a Christmas before 1959.... American would probably not have been advertising piston-powered DC7 service so prominently in 1962. AA inaugurated jet service on January 25, 1959, flying its new 707 from LAX to Idlewild/JFK. Here's the crew posing for a shot before takeoff on the inaugural: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-o...2520AM.bmp.jpg American Airlines 707 Jet Stewardess (nice blog) And here's a great shot of a 707 at LAX dated December 26, 1962 https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-c...2520AM.bmp.jpg jetphotos.net |
