I think the igloo in e_r's ebay picture was located at 4315 Beverly Blvd, close to the NE corner with N. Kingsley Dr. John Withington operated two ice cream outlets - one at 4302 W. Pico and the other on Beverly Blvd. https://i.imgur.com/YrG4nu9.jpg rescarta.lapl.org The Beverly Blvd. igloo fits with the buildings in close proximity that we see in the ebay picture. I think this is it, center of red circle, on a 1928 aerial. https://i.imgur.com/JPz0zGd.jpg mil.library.ucsb.edu The igloo on Pico stood isolated on it's corner for most if not all of it's time there. Seen here also in 1928. https://i.imgur.com/EVMw5Z8.jpg mil.library.ucsb.edu |

In 1954, when I was 7, I took swimming lessons at the Pasadena Athletic Club.

I happened upon this unique photograph a couple of months ago on eBay but I think I forgot to post it on NLA. It supposedly shows "3rd Street and Union Place in 1938". https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/2mMC54.jpg eBay What surprises me most (besides the large brick building) is how hilly the area is and that there's still a barn standing in that cluster of trees. Now let's take a closer look at the impressive building in the distance. . . https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/fxyFv8.jpg . . . I know it's not the Hotel Stillwell so what building is it? :shrug: (I have an idea but. .) . |

You scream, I scream . .we all scream for a mystery location.

(at least I think they're rail cars) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/XecHDT.jpg I found this but I don't know if it was ever built.

e_r, it's found in the pages of everyone's favorite magazine, Milk Plant Monthly: https://i.postimg.cc/XYSwMRwb/Valley...4-July-p70.jpg Milk Plant Monthly, vol. 13, July 1924, p. 70 |

Solid rubber truck tires

I did, and they are clearly different than the truck tires. ..That's why I thought they might be rail cars... (well, miniature rail cars) . |
Rear truck wheels, not the front wheel.

You're correct, Engineeral...I only looked at the front tire of the truck. :duh: This is a bit far afield but it's interesting none-the-less. It shows an advertisement for a service station painted on an enormous rock somewhere in the vicinity of Riverside California. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq70/922/4SgqeL.jpg eBay Hmm. .everything but the name of the service station. . . .and here's what is written on the reverse. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/4yUdTB.jpg I debated on whether or not to do a 'closer'look' but I can't help myself. so here it is folks, BIGGER! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/1oa0by.jpg I'm glad I did because it appears that there is something carved into the rock beneath the painted advertisement. (squint) Sooooo. . . . those are some pretty big rocks so I imagine they haven't been moved. Does anyone know where they are (or were) located? . |
.
I was willing to bet money (not really) that this wasn't Bunker Hill but then I noticed the tunnel. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/5dFOTP.jpg imgur I should probably know the large building under construction but I don't recognize it. Any ideas where the photographer was standing? :shrug: . |
:previous:
That's the Bunker Hill Towers under construction with the 2nd Street tunnel on the left. We're looking southeast across the Harbor Freeway from just above S Beaudry Avenue. This was as close as I could get in StreetView. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...llBeaudry1.jpg GSV |

Thanks, Hoss! I appreciate your help. :) |
Mystery Service Station Name?

:previous: I've toyed with that idea...I've been trying to decipher what "2-A-T" means. (it probably refers to. .um. .where two highways converge.

OOPS!..I was in a hurry and forgot to include a 'closer look' of Riverside proper. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/gNDCYG.jpg Perhaps the rocks are somewhere in the vicinity of 'The Tree Sisters'. A friendly reminder of what we're looking for. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/4SgqeL.jpg . |
Unusually large building north of Olvera in photo from 1880
Hello everyone, it has certainly been a long time since
I was active here. That's what moving to Oregon gets you. In one of my Facebook groups, someone shared this photo from the Water And Power Association website, looking north from approximately 300 N. Main. (Colorization as on W&P site.) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...50cd0e_o_d.jpg Here's a tighter view. For orientation purposes, I have marked the Plaza Church belfry, the Merced Theater, and the partially visible roof of the Masonic Hall, all building that are still standing today. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...2f03be_o_d.jpg In the distance, notice the surprisingly large building whose roofline and nearest corner I have outlined in orange, and what may have been an exterior stairway leading to an entrance, outlined in red.* It appears to be at least two stories, given that it's visible beyond the church, and only the top of part of that is visible. Here's a still tighter crop: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...cab215_c_d.jpg What on earth was it? I'm frankly flabbergasted that there was such a large building there of any kind when this photo was taken. The exact location is hard to judge as the depth of field seems to be highly compressed, but I'm thinking this could have been across the street (north of) where Italian Hall is now, given the orientation of the building, but there hasn't been anything nearly as large since 1880, that I can think of. On the FB post, we've been kicking the football around on this for awhile but we haven't come up with a definitive answer. *What looks like a stairway could possibly be the end of a gable roof on a nearer building, although the perspective doesn't look quite right for that. |
:previous:
No answer yet; but perhaps a couple of things on the road to finding an answer: I note that the building in question and the proposed staircase are, or seem to me, differently aligned. With that in mind, here is a detail from Wm. Rich Hutton's view of L.A. from the north, 1847 I think. https://i.postimg.cc/KjhN6x4d/Hutton.jpg Detail from Hutton; full original in the Huntington collection, #HM 43214 (32), used by permission at https://home.csulb.edu/~odinthor/botello.html Note the quadrangle portion out of line with everything else which however is on the same alignment/at the same location as the building in question. I'm not proposing that the one at the quadrangle is the same building as the one in question; but I am proposing that it's a successor-building on the same differently-aligned lot. Now, from the south: https://i.postimg.cc/YS4zjhW5/Kuchel-Dresel-1857.jpg From Kuchel & Dresel 1857, at same link as above Note in this detail from Kuchel & Dresel 1857 what appears to be the "staircase" bldg. at center. That's the Plaza Church's tower from the side at left. :cheers: |
