http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...Loan1956CD.jpg LAPL Just along the street, The Rollin Apartments used to stand at the corner of Flower and W 3rd. USC date this picture as 1900-1909. The stores on the first floor are Sawyer's Vienna Bakery, Thompson, Long & Co. Plumbing & Hardware (at 803 W 3rd - the only store with a visible street number), and the Angelus Pharmacy on the corner. There's also an entrance marked 'Restaurant and Cafe' about halfway up the hill side of the apartments. The Rollin itself was at 247 S Flower. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...s.jpg~original USC Digital Library Working from the 1923 CD, the small building to the right of The Rollin is the Bozwell at 245 S Flower, while the larger building up the hill is the St Regis at 237 S Flower. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...Apts1923CD.jpg LAPL I only found a passing reference to the St Regis Apartments on NLA (not to be confused with the St Regis Hotel on W 6th which later became the Teris), so here's a front view. A little of the Bozwell is just visible at the left. NB. I've played around with the contrast on this image as the original was a little washed out. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...s.jpg~original USC Digital Library |
Which way to Grand Central [Burbank airport]?

Out of my way!

GW came up with a newspaper article announcing the acquisition which contained the usual Corporate statement that nothing was going to really change. ( how many times has that been heard before in buyouts?) On the other hand, various citations on collector sites would imply that manufacturing of Wayne's more advance design would be manufactured there while others imply manufacturing was totally moved to Wayne, Indiana; implying that a somewhat obsolete design would continue to be made. That really makes little sense! What is even more curious is that Wayne supposedly re-birthed the visible type pump for a short period of time after WWII. That makes even less sense. |

A couple of additonal glimpses of the St. Regis...
Quote:
Wonderful early shot looking west down 3rd Street (left edge) and of the Rangeley Apartments on the NW corner of 3rd and Cinnabar Streets (Cinnabar runs across the bottom just out-of-frame). Far side of the Rangeley is on Flower Street and next corner is Figueroa. The St. Regis, at 237 S. Flower, is seen right center with the flatish corner turret, next door to the left is just a glimpse of the top of the hipp-roofed Bozwell, at 245 S. Flower, with the single cupola and next to it (still going to the left) is the Rollin Apartments with the outsized rooftop solarium at 247 S. Flower (NW corner of Flower and 3rd). Taken from the top of the 3rd Street tunnel. USC digital archive/Title Insurance and Trust, and C.C. Pierce Photography Collection, 1860-1960 https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3804/...61469c1c_o.jpgLooking south down Flower Street, 1950 Looking south down Flower Street in the 200 block through the 1950 haze. Van Fleet Apartments on the left, tile-roofed St. Regis down the block on the right and just a sliver of the Marcella on the right edge. One of our Yellow Cabs headed down to the intersection with 3rd Street at the bottom of the slope. LAPL |

Here's a comparison of the 1914 and 1921 Baist's map (courtesy of our good friends at historicmapworks). https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5542/...c3dfca77_z.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3886/...27b732b2_o.png Eddie's Loan/Fig Leaf were in an apartment house called The Jonathan, apparently. (Note that the Bozwell was called the Veranda. Bonus St Regis factoid -- Jack Webb grew up there from 1921-38 in #339, living with his mother and grandmother.) Now, see where Cinnabar dead-ends at Third? Right into a theater in 1914, that has become a garage by 1921. That's the Tunnel Theater, so named because of its proximity to the tunnel, natch. This theater, or at least the garage, because that's what it had been turned into, is seen in another movie (AlexandreL, take note!) for here is a screengrab from the 1959 Corman picture Bucket of Blood. The Tunnel, aka 712 W Third, is the building with the rounded arch atop. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7154/...7ca9fa8c_z.jpggsjansesn The Lux would be across the street and down a block -- not quite visible, but here's a shot of the greater area: http://catalog.library.ca.gov/exlibr...HP7PC331FI.jpgcalstatelibrary Sometimes I find a useful way to wrap your head around a problem of neighborhood is to visit the local Giant Model of Downtown in 1940...here we are looking up Third toward the tunnel. https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2933/...445a16d5_z.jpg 831-35 bottom center, Rollin at intersection of 3rd & Flower near top-center/right. Note in the two preceding shots the Rollin (compare here) has had an extra story added and her bays shaved off. Anyway, I think I have another movie starring Eddie's Loan! Well, starring is a strong word, and it's not really a movie. Still, about fifteen minutes into Subject: Narcotics there's this five-second shot -- https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3847/...d1c82b9d_z.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Cs6dblX.jpg Seems like it. Five black tiles high in both, perhaps, the glass, the opening...in 1951 they had the red sign and by 1956 they had the cut-out letters and those grill-fins (whatever they are)? Speaking of locations, a fave scene in Subject is when the hype and his pusher get busted. From 15:00-17:00, it's right outside the Chestmere Apts, NE corner of Court & Grand: https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2898/...eff122f4_o.gifmine http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3099/...1d08767d_o.gif Note that when officers turn north on Grand you can glimpse the St Angelo in the distance: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3346/...327bce3c_o.gif |

www.themoviedistrict.com Launched six months ago, covering 200+ movies so far but there's still lots of work to do. I usually wait until I have discovered at least 75% of a movie's locations before turning the information into an article. Thanks to you guys, my quota has now been reached for The Killing. Credit will be given to those who helped! |

Around that time, Lenny Bruce also worked at Strip City which was located at Pico and Western. |

Hustle and bustle of Los Angeles.
Broadway and 7th Street in 1934, showing a man crossing through a lane of traffic to get to a streetcar. Notice that the driver is using hand signals to indicate a turn. A police officer is directing traffic in addition to the traffic semaphore at the left. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psbaa7da94.jpg LAexaminer |

The developer of the Hotel Hayward was Dr. Henderson Hayward, a prototypical turn-of-the-20th-century L.A. BSD. For his somewhat messy domestic arrangements, he chose Wilshire Boulevard, building one of the first houses there. I've just completed the story of 2501 Wilshire here: http://wilshireboulevardhouses.blogs...e-see-our.html As for the hotel, I discovered that Charles Whittlesey, the architect, had worked prior to coming to LA for Louis Sullivan, which would explain the details of the building.... Below is a recent post of ER's that emphasizes those details. Quote:
