Teed Street Obsession
O.K., let me get this out of my system
Look at the house on Teed Street right in the middle of the picture http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg684...jpg&res=medium Los Angeles, California, 1894. Drawn & lithographed by B. W. Pierce. Looks like the J.W. Robinson mansion Now lets go back a little: http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg221...jpg&res=medium Los Angeles, California, 1894. Drawn & lithographed by B. W. Pierce. The street that runs right under the mansion is Belle Vue Now in 1909: http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg502...jpg&res=medium Los Angeles 1909. Compiled by Worthington Gates. Western Litho Co. It looks like Belle Vue has been changed to Sunset So, the mansion being located at the corner of Teed and Belle Vue makes sense. One more: Could this be where Teed Street used to come out on Ord Street? http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg207...jpg&res=medium Google Street View O.K. that's it... :whip::slob: I deserve it |

The contagious Teed Street Obsession
As for the Robinson house on Teed Street... I can't let go.... Here is an 1891 aerial map. (It depicts the house in the few years between
Robinson and Ford versions, as FredH's 1894 map appears to show the latter's round turret--see bottom pic here.) https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-C...eredcircle.jpgHistoric Map Works Also notice some of the old street names--Montreal, Philadelphia, etc. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-T...mapdetail3.jpgHistoric Map Works And...

The line on the map for Teed St. appears to be dotted. This suggests to me that at some point in the past, its legal status was changed from a public road to a private easement. It may be that underground utilities still exist along the old right of way, and an exclusive easement was created to maintain DWP access to them after the adjacent properties were redeveloped. -Scott |

It's either someone's garden maze or the portal to the underground space station in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Very strange. |

I somehow missed this great photo & post the first time around. I had to laugh out loud at the house "loaded with gawkers". I never would have noticed them without you pointing it out. _________ http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/2763/70077099.jpg This is the house FredH highlighted above. It is the only house in the area that could be a contemporary to the J.W. Robinson House. http://img803.imageshack.us/img803/7...acouldbeco.jpg google street view Most of the area is full of horrific buildings like this. This is just across the street (to the west) from where the J.W. Robinson house once stood. :( http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/922...eatodaysad.jpg google street view It's hard to imagine this area was once bucolic hills dotted with stately homes. _____ I wish someone who has a copy of 'Cry Danger' would download the drive up to the Clover Trailer Park. After all this J.W. Robinson talk I'm dying to see what this area looked like in the 1940s. _____ |
The 1909 map posted earlier by FredH.
http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/7290/jwmap1909.jpg above: It looks as if Ord Street used to continue up to Hill Street (now North Hill Place) instead of taking that severe right turn. below: The view today with the missing segment of Ord Street. http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/474/jwordturn.jpg google street view ...and it looks like there might have been stairs at one point as well. Did these stairs parallel Ord at this steep grade? (if you look closely there are three or four 'stepped' stones just this side of the more solid line) http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/6744/...ac2oldstep.jpg google street view ....of course it could just be a property line, but that isn't nearly as interesting. ;) below: The Ord Street Turn. http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8099/jwordturng.jpg google street view |

Cry Dander (1951)

That area where Ord Street extends up the hill is exactly where the Clover Trailer Park was located in the 1951 movie. Here are screen shots of North Hill Place from Cry Danger. Unfortunately, all the shots were taken from across the street, so you cannot see the houses on that side. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg64/...jpg&res=medium Cry Danger, RKO Radio Pictures http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg3/s...jpg&res=medium Cry Danger, RKO Radio Pictures http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg824...jpg&res=medium Cry Danger, RKO Radio Pictures I think as ratty as that house across the street (the one with the gawkers) looked in 1951, it is probably long gone. As long as I am started on Cry Danger, here are some more screen shots: Dick Powell and Rhonda Fleming drive past a gas holder...just for our enjoyment: http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg444...jpg&res=medium Cry Danger, RKO Radio Pictures Third Street, up on Bunker Hill: http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg213...jpg&res=medium Cry Danger, RKO Radio Pictures The Los Amigos bar, directly across the street from the Angel's Flight station on Olive Street: http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg408...jpg&res=medium Cry Danger, RKO Radio Pictures Across Third Street from the Los Amigos is the Angel's Flight Cafe: http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg860...jpg&res=medium Cry Danger, RKO Radio Pictures The Angel's Flight Cafe was one of the main settings in the 1965 movie called Angel's Flight, staring Indus Arthur and William Thourlby (the original Marlboro Man). This movie took place in the dying years of Bunker Hill and may have never made it to the theaters.

FredH this is exactly what I wanted to see!! (not the other side of the street)
I had no idea this house actually appears in 'Cry Danger'. I only mentioned it because of its age. http://img803.imageshack.us/img803/7...acouldbeco.jpg google street view You can see the house in the three scenes below. Quote:
It's so great to see a connection with a film noir from 60 years ago!! I would rent this place out in a minute. _______ |
Gaylord W.- If you can attend our 60th anniversary event @ One in mid 2012 you'll get to see a 3 x 4 W.Adams map I recently whipped up featuring all the homes (and school and church) that comprised the street from Figueroa to Hoover -- including the Tudor built in 1909 by the De Camps -later held by the socializing Chester Brown family. In the 30s, #909 became (with its large gardens) the home of the USC sorority Alpha Delta Pi - by WW2 the Delta Tau Delta frat owned this property and either burnt the home down or raised funds to build the brick edifice as a replacement frathouse -- which today is where the One Archives exists. A grainy photo from L.A.Times archives (Aug 1, 1909) is all I've found. Contacting current sorority leadership hasn't produced a reply- surely they have preserved photo albums- not like the Delts who were banned from USC after a MAJOR "Animal House" period in the early 70s.Bad boys don't care for such history! .. The DeCamps probably first lived here in a smaller Queen Anne but got into the Tudor style when chafing over the old Victorian... I will soon shoot the Teed house---
