People still play with Stereo Realist cameras, in what has become a somewhat expensive hobby. Lots of material on the technology has been posted to the web. Cheers, Earl |

Google Images This is what I was reaching for MR:previous:, but the 'Flight Deck' guy's tie was made entirely of cloth, instead of string. -so perhaps this definition isn't correct either. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...922/hxycpk.jpg detail _ |
'mystery' corner.

'mystery' street, downtown.

Plenty of pictures of ties like Flight Deck Man is wearing can be found by searching on "string tie," "cowboy string tie," or "western string tie." Yee-hah! Cheers, Earl |

2711 Wilshire Blvd.
This was the home of George Drake Ruddy and his wife Ella:
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...h.jpg~original 1900 LACD @ fold3.com The house was built in 1899 and either torn down or moved in 1912. GW has some details here. The April 17, 1912, LA Herald notes that the Ruddys had taken apartments at the Hershey Arms on Wilshire Boulevard. The November 20, 1912, Herald shows Mrs. Ruddy had contracted to build a new home at 241 N. Western, where the 1913 LACD shows the Ruddys residing. Here is the heretofore pictorially obscure "Mission Cottage" at 2711 Wilshire Blvd., probably with Mr. and Mrs. Ruddy standing at the front door: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...j.jpg~original July 5, 1902, The Capital @ Google Books By the way, at least half of the photos in the editions of The Capital (1897-1902) are of theatrical performers who were on tour and stopping in LA. So if anyone is interested in actors, singers, and other acts from that era, The Capital might be a good place to look. |
Was wondering if anyone can supply a shot showing the front of this Gilmore Oil sign that was atop a building on Broadway in the early-mid '30s?

The Flight Deck dude's tie is like Col. Sanders' tie; and rummaging across the net searching on that I find it called a "Nancy" (!), a Western Bow Tie, a Kentucky Bow Tie, and a String Bow Tie. |

Amazing film-- the predatory camera zooms in on all the crumbling details... a lot of firetraps, but still, it's hard not to feel what's coming for the residents. This screenshot... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8...2%2BPM.bmp.jpg ...reminded me of this house... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-d...nhousetemp.jpg ...which we've seen before (the s/s is of its left rear corner): http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=13160 |

The sign on the building in the vintage picture looks like it's promoting "the future home of the Bank of Los Angeles." I remember that bank and not this building, as pictured, before that. The photo would have to be 1969 or later. Anyone date any of the cars in it? For what it's worth, in my experience I also know of no RTD or MTA bus route that turned right off San Vincente onto Santa Monica Blvd., either. If anyone's interested, the signs for the businesses pictured in the current photo are, left to right, the RAGE nightclub (sign behind the tree), US Bank, the mentioned post office building, American Apparel (previously "Don't Panic"), ROUNDS Premium Burgers, which just closed in April and will be replaced by a restaurant called Daeida, which was having a hiring day last Thursday I noticed, Z-Pizza and then, partially visible, the Fiesta Cantina. This is the same corner in this recent post: Quote:

I don't recall seeing this sightseeing platform
Observation telescopes overlooking Los Angeles Harbor, San Pedro CA. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/MntfmF.jpg eBay sign: "Telescopes, see Ships....Cruisers....Mountains' Any idea where this would have been located? I believe that might be a rail in the payment. __ |

As I said in my last Julius Shulman post a week ago, LA subjects are getting harder to find at the moment, so I'll only be posting them as and when I find them. Hopefully there'll be more as I continue through the search results. This is "Job 5430: Sylvan Shulman, West Covina Fashion Plaza (West Covina, Calif.), 1977". Sylvan Shulman is the architect. I had a quick look for more information to see if Julius and Sylvan were related, but didn't find anything.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original There are four very similar color images in this set, the rest are black & white. The first shows an exterior view of The Broadway. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Here are the interior views. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute The mall is now known as Plaza West Covina, and The Broadway store is now Sears. I can't find any good large images of the two-story section of the mall, so here's a small one. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original www.shoppingplazawestcovina.com |
