I searched "Queirolos", Queiroles", "Queriola" & "Queriolo" and nothing came up,
so I'm pretty sure this photograph is new to the thread.

(I also searched "Queriolo" and "Queirolo" at both LAPL and USC Digital Archives with no results)




What first caught my eye was that amazing car on this dirt street full of jalopies.
What was that guy doing in this neighborhood I wondered.

"_ _ __ _ _along Queriolo St. from Date St." (written in white along the bottom of the photograph)



I've pinpointed the location on this 1906 map. (here the street is spelled Queirolo) -the i is before the r instead of after it, like it is on the photograph

below: on this map I thought the street was spelled "Queirolos", (I just realized the s is for st, the t is invisible)

-here's a closer look at that beautiful automobile. I wonder what the round sign on the gate with the interesting graphic is for ...does it say BAG! or BANG!...B

below: In this detail you can make out the name "Eureka Supply Co." on a sign down the street.
(but I can't read the name above the door on the building at left)

So what is the tall building at the end of Queriolo Street.......does anyone know?
...and what do you think that guy in the fancy automobile is doing in this run-down part of town. ;)

THe Compton pic is post ww2. The car didn't go into service on PE, for the US MAritime Commission, until 1943, PE bought it and refurbished it after the war, when it got the PE paint and number shown. Without looking, this car came from Northwestern PAcific, while many more of similar appearance came from Southern Pacific Oakland lines. To put a fine point on it, the ex SP cars were owned by the toll bridge authority to pay off an SP debt

We're back in the 1924 quarantine area. The notation says, "Looking north along Queriolo St from Date St". Maybe there's some clues in the map below:

HossC, do you think it could be this building on the northwest corner of 12th and Main?

below: In this detail you can see some of the architectural ornament (matches architectural details used at that period of time)

below: It's probably my imagination, but could that faint line on the roof be where the row of windows used to be? (you can see them in the postcard)

:previous: Again, there's that lighter area along the roof / could that have been the row of windows in your postcard?

You almost had me convinced, e_r, but there's no sign of any building at that location on the 1910 Baist map i.e. three years after the postcard's date. It was still the corner of the grounds of the Huntington Hall School for Young Ladies. This is before the extension of Broadway and the construction of the Examiner Building. The current address of the building above is 1159 S Main Street (subdivided into three units as 1159A/1159B/1159C), but I couldn't find a build date.

I don't know it, but if you could direct us to the video, maybe there will be enough context to identify it.

What corner was it on?

I just came across this photo earlier this afternoon on ebay.

Take a look at that precarious scaffolding. Obviously there's construction going on...but that seems ridiculously tall.
-also note the white house with the turret next to the construction. -anyone recognize the house? It looks like a real charmer.

:previous: The Barker Bros Store was on Spring between 4th and 5th, meaning your turreted house was on Main between 5th and 6th (I think)

This card with 1906 date was found on Martin Turnbull's site of Hollywood places. Lots of period photographs on this ppage.

http://www.martinturnbull.com/wp-con...ating-rink.jpg

Seeing as the seller dates this as 1900s, from the 1900/01 CD, here are the details of some of the buildings with visible signs:

422 S Spring - Barker Bros, furniture and carpets

439-441 S Spring - Niles Pease Furniture Co, furniture, carpets and draperies

530 S Spring - Edwin J Brent, furniture

507 S Main - H Raphael Co, glass doors and windows


And a few more for businesses without visible signs on South Main:

513 S Main - Chas Whealand, upholsterer

515 S Main - M Kalisher & Co, billiard and pool supplies

519 S Main - Chas P Walker, second-hand goods

523 S Main - John W Griffin, resident

527 S Main - Mrs Louie Y Garner, resident

533 S Main - Jas A Donahue, resident


Back in the 1898 CD, 533 S Main was the address of the Silver Republican Club. The house in the picture above does not match the one posted by e_r in post #23681, but that photo didn't come with an address. Then again, when I compare the photo above to the 1910 Baist map below, 533 S Main should back onto the building with the "Brent's The Great Credit House" sign i.e. just off the bottom of the picture. That would mean that the building under construction was the Brennan Hotel, and the turreted house was later replaced by the Interlaken/Interlacken Hotel (listed at 521½ S Main in the 1909 CD). The 1910 Baist map below is from my reply about the Silver Republican Club in post #23689, which also includes a link to tovangar2's post about the Brennan Hotel fire of 1913.

:previous: -Excellent research HossC.

So the building under construction in my eBay photo eventually burned.

here's an interesting anecdote
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...911/9uBjaX.jpg
http://www.lafire.com/famous_fires/1...anHoteFire.htm

-am I reading this correctly? A movie company sent over a camera man and actors to film fictional "rescue scenes".
I wonder what movie the scenes ended up in?

:previous:

The clubhouse pictured directly above was at 318 W 2nd St 533 S Main St.

The old address for the club was 318 W 2nd Street (see here)

The Silver Republicans moved to Main St on 1 September 1897 (see here)

And thx HossC, you're being amazing today.

Beaudry, does one have to (or is it recommended to) buy the tickets ahead of time? Would love to buy tickets the day of and avoid paying Fandango's service fee, if possible. :D

Wasn't Don Ellis's place, The Boneyard, near there in the '60s? Ellis was a visionary jazz big band leader, arranger and musician.

Dreamland Roller Skating Rink @ 1138 S. Main
 

Dreamland was a little north of the NE corner of 12th and Main (On the map, north is on the right). It extended almost all the way to Los Angeles Street:

No, Harley Davidson did not also build motorcycles. :) Here's a photo of him with another story about the rink: http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lc...arRange&page=2

You can read about the successful opening night here: http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lc...arRange&page=2

Then . . . disaster!

February 5, 1907 LA Herald -- http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lc...05/ed-1/seq-7/

The same day, the LA Times reported the story a bit more succinctly:

The Dreamland Roller Skating Rink lasted less than a year:

March 7, 1907 LA Herald -- http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lc...7/ed-1/seq-12/

So the July 26, 1907 postmark on the postcard is a bit of a surprise. Another surprise is that the 1910 Baist Map does not show the alley between Los Angeles and Main (again, north is on the right):
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...f.jpg~original
Historic Mapworks -- http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/19466/Plate+001/

The 1914 map shows the alley. The map also shows that our building on Main has changed from frame to brick. I'm a little perplexed by that, given the visual evidence I'll show next:

Historic Mapworks -- http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/19056/Plate+001/

This is the NE corner of 12th and Main in 1939. It's hard to tell, but The Market Co. building might be the remodeled Dreamland building. The Sanborn Map doesn't show the jog in the roof, but please note the two raised, long, boxy skylights (if that's what they are) on the roof:

I've zoomed in on part of a photo taken January 1, 1907. At right, Main Street angles to the left between 10th and 11th Streets, just past the Hotel Cadillac. The spires of St. Joseph's Church at the SE corner of 12th and Los Angeles Streets are at far left. If you look closely above and to the right of the MUNGER'S LAUNDRY sign, you can see the row of those raised, long, boxy skylights stretching from Main Street almost all the way to Los Angeles Street. Is that the same building -- before it was cut in half -- as in the 1939 photo?:

USCDL -- http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...5/id/929/rec/9

Here's the east side of Main, north of 12th Street today. The building on the NE corner of 12th and Main looks to be the same one from the 1939 photo, but the old Dreamland site was a parking lot by 1964 (per Historic Aerials.com):
