Thanks to Lorendoc for finding yesterday's Ross-Loos location. No wonder I couldn't find an Anaheim building in Long Beach.
------------- As promised, here's a Ross-Loos clinic whose location is known (and is in Long Beach). It's "Job 467: Randolph Chalfant Head, Ross-Loos Clinic (Long Beach, Calif.), 1949". I'm posting a selection of the nine images in the set. There's a clearer, closer view of the front, but I wanted the long shot to show the side. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original Here's the reception desk. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original I assume that this is the waiting room. I think the desk from the image above appears on the right. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original There was a courtyard next to the waiting room. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...7.jpg~original A reverse shot. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...8.jpg~original I'll finish with this shot of a consulting room. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...9.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute This building is another survivor. It's at 3850 Long Beach Boulevard, and is now Oakwood Academy. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...0.jpg~original GSV |
HossC posted this building about three weeks ago, located on Vine Street near Santa Monica Blvd.
Today's Julius Shulman post. It's "Job 559: Stiles Oliver Clements, Zandt Carpet Company, 1949". http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Entire post here: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=42331 I happened to see this 1972 photograph with the Zandt building in it; left of center: http://hollywoodphotographs.com/photos/lrg/VINE-033.jpgBruce Torrence A blade sign has been added to it since the Shulman photo. The Army-Navy surplus store is still located on that corner, though I believe they've eliminated the military references. Also, whatever tallish building that is on Vine, that looks to be under construction, I don't find that building is there anymore, either. |
:previous:
I believe the "tallish building that is on Vine, that looks to be under construction" is actually the Sunset Media Tower at 6255 Sunset Boulevard. The camera makes it look much closer in the 1972 image. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...t.jpg~original GSV |
:previous:
I thought that, too, HossC, but the taller one in the photo is the building on the corner of Hollywood and Vine and to me, and I could be wrong, but it appears the other one is closer to the camera. I tried GSV to convince myself it was the Sunset Media Tower, but it didn't convince me. :shrug: |
Hoss, thanks for the aerial showing the Hartman(n) Apartments. It was interesting seeing it from that angle.
and thx for the additional information on the Hartmanns GW. __ An unknown woman posing in front of a billboard at Uplifters Ranch in Rustic Canyon. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/922/Olu4nN.jpg old file / flickr? "Aerial view of the polo field at Uplifters Club, Rustic Canyon, Calif. [c.1947] http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/nXzTVl.jpg http://digital.smpl.org/cdm/singleit.../id/3245/rec/1 I've circled, on the right, where I think snapshot was taken. Hmm...but where is the actually polo field- (was it gone by 1947?) __ |
I guess it is, HossC, here's a photo dated a year later, 1973, taken up the street from the other one.

Re the Willard's , Radio Center, Fairbanks, Runway building on Vine, what is this?:
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/y2...Q=w568-h510-no gsv Are there a lot of them about? If there are, I don't know how I missed them. |
:previous:
Assuming that you're talking about the sign, I found another just south of Sunset on Highland Avenue. As both Vine and Highland are southern approaches to freeway intersections, my guess would be freeway information signs, but that might just be because I'm remembering Steve Martin in 'LA Story'. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...nHollywood.jpg GSV BTW Martin Pal, t2's picture also shows the two towers we've been discussing. The one on the left (the Sunset Vine Tower) is on the south side of Sunset. |
77 Sunset Strip on DVD
Quote:
There has been many entreaties to Warner Bros. to put the series on DVDs, but so far to no avail. That's a shame, because the people who would purchase it are generally Baby Boomers, and we're a dying breed. I'm just glad MeTV brought it back for now. Maybe they'll follow up with the Surfside 6 and Hawaiian Eye shows. When I first tried to get back into the series, I found "Girl On The Run" on an old cartridge tape and watched in hopes to get retrieve my memories of the show only to realize it had nothing to do with the series. In fact, 77 Sunset Strip is never even mentioned in the film until the very end in an obvious voice-over to promote the coming of the new show. I believe Kookie played the bad guy in the movie. The rest of the team (Roger Smith, Louis Quinn, Jacqueline Beer) were not in the movie. Nor was the iconic location on the Strip or the theme song. I hope MeTV goes on to Season 5 next, then skips Season 6 and moves on with seasons 1 & 2. Season 6 was a bust in that they scrapped the entire 77 Sunset Strip scene to make it more like Secret Agent. It stunk. It was no longer the street that wore the fancy label, glorified in song and fable... |

The upper perimeter of the Army-Navy Surplus-building (5525 Santa Monica) features an interesting relief series that apparently survives today. The :previous: image's relief reminds me of hieroglyphics and seems different from other images of the same reliefs. This may be due to photo filters or a painted contrast. FWIW, new construction permits were issued in 1914, 1917, 1931 and 1948. Currently unable to view permits, but '48 demo and new construction permits suggest the current four story structure dates to '48. |

Here's today's Julius Shulman post. It's "Job 4623: William Ficker, Hoffman Motors (Marina del Rey, Calif.), 1970". There are four images in the set, but I've left out two becuase they show the same subjects as these from slightly different angles.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original I found a reference to Hoffman Motors having a sculpture called "Bird of Wisdom" - this must be it. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Both from Getty Research Institute While looking for an address, I found this 1970 Maynard L Parker photoset at HDL. There are 11 images in this set, including some of the warehouse and training rooms, but I've just picked three. The first is one of two color shots, and gives a better view of the front. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original Did everyone spot the absence of cars in the Shulman photos? Hoffman Motors was apparently the US sole importer of BMWs at the time. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original I'll finish with this view of some of the offices. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original Huntington Digital Library I eventually found the address at 12541 Beatrice Street. I've looked back through the images at Historic Aerials, and I believe that this is the same building. It was heavily modified between 2003 and 2004. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original Google Maps |

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/fD...=w1078-h205-no gsv Thank you Hoss for the info on that unfortunate-looking electronic sign. And Martin Pal, that is a compelling optical illusion re the two towers in the distance in the Santa Monica/Vine shot. I know the neighborhood well, but still did a double take. |

Looks to me like we are seeing Glendale, with the photographer standing just outside its border with Atwater--where the tracks in the foreground cross those of the Red Cars--hence the GLENDALE sign. Glendale Boulevard is now depressed under the crossing tracks. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Bn...Q=w666-h648-no |
