The bookstore itself is a nice place. My comments only address the bizarre use of some books. No offence intended, Martin. |
In the "Dr. Caligari" arrangement, it looks like all the books are Reader's Digest condensed-book anthologies, always to be found in the "free"bin at any thrift shop.

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/0Kd7P7.jpg I remember this photograph now. I thought the space between the two buildings was just a parking lot; :previous:there aren't any rr tracks merging onto Hill Street even though this photograph appears to have been taken in the 1940s. Obviously I was wrong. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/OWQOjM.jpgreddit and another for good measure. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/eTGxXl.jpg http://www.pacificelectric.org/pacif...t-hill-street/ __________________ *Back to Hoss's photograph (at the top of the post) I just noticed the two tanks at the top. Are they for water? -they seem a bit undersized. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...921/Blysio.jpg detail |

FWIW the evidence before me strongly indicates the above picture must be from before 1894. I see that the building across the street from the church, and partly visible just to the right of it in the frame, has only one story and is probably made of adobe. By 1894 it was replaced by a two story commercial building, as shown below in a photo from that year. http://waterandpower.org/Historical_...hurch_1894.jpg (waterandpower.org) ETA: The two-story building was built in 1889 according to an LAT article on the project to open Sunset Boulevard to the Plaza, published on 1912-09-17. Within a month of that date, the Cobenoff bulding, as it was known, was slated to be razed in order to put Sunset through to the Plaza. So Cobenoff's building lasted but twenty-three years, apparently. |
I believe that the marked area on the hill is the site of Home of Peace Jewish cemetery. Originally a Kizh village, then the cemetery, and then the naval reserve center, which remains today. Home of Peace is now in East Los Angeles, on Whittier Blvd. across from New Calvary Cemetery.

I think the original photo showing Van de Kamps and the Terminal Market is later than the '40s, taken after the tracks were removed. USC dates it to 1955. With the zoom, looking at the skirt length and silhouette of the women, that could be right. original photo with zoom from usc: http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/re...ll170/id/20525 LAPL has this photo dated to 1939; looks like before the space a became parking lot the hand is pointing folks to the Clark Garage. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...e/00064804.jpg lapl If its of any help, Sept 29, 1950 PE put busses into service on Hill. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...elle/92950.jpg lat 9-29-50 |

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4...3%2BAM.bmp.jpg We have here a 47/48 Ford and a 46/47/48 Dodge, followed by a 49/50 Chevrolet (with aftermarket Buick-like "ventiports")-- then what appears to be something closer to 1955, possibly a GM 2-door sedan. The car below is another 49/50 Chevrolet. Or, with a differently placed side mirror, the same one--maybe it belonged to the prop of the market.... Quote:

Apparently there were three urns on that end of the building. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/0ck6Jq.jpg http://designeastoflabrea.blogspot.c...1_archive.html location of the third, as seen from 4th street. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/zSrDA8.jpg gsv -just for fun, here's an aerial. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...921/HxBi6k.jpg google_earth Today there's an outdoor patio (is that a hot tub?) on that wing of the bldg. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...923/wXAG44.jpg detail maybe bing has a better view. ___ nope. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...921/1ErK5L.jpg http://www.bing.com/mapspreview |

Very curious about when the urns came and went... they don't appear in the architect's rendering: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-t...ubway1.bmp.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Q...ubway2.bmp.jpg Hard to believe any would remain after the earthquakes of '33, '71 etc, but at least two are still there in 1986 (the LAPL's date for this view): https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-l...42/subway3.jpg |
:previous:completely surprised the urns were still there in 1986!
for some reason, I thought that photograph was of a model of the building. (did anyone else think that....or am I going nuts?) __ |
You may recognize today's Julius Shulman location - the Western Airlines Training Center was visible through the window of the McCulloch Motor Co in post #33208, and I included a recent view of the extended building. This is "Job 2550: Burke, Kober & Nicolais, Western Airlines Training Center (Los Angeles, Calif.), 1958". I'll start with the only color image in the set. I've omitted the black & white version.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Now an angled view. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original The last photo looks across W Century Boulevard. I'm guessing that this was taken from the McCulloch Motor Co. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute As previously mentioned, the training center building is still standing. Sadly, the entrance on Avion Drive now looks a little neglected when compared to the first shot above. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original GSV |

Oh my, that last image is sad.:( -makes me want to go over there and spruce things up. |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rminalRoof.jpg Bing Maps Looking at Historic Aerials and Google Earth, the patio only appeared around 2005. The online building records has a 2004 permit to "Revise roof deck framing and layout", and gives the capacity as 49 occupants. |
