This must be the same Pacific Old Peoples' Home, at 1055 N. Kingsley Drive:

The Kingsley Manor Retirement Community is now at that address; the building has "Pacific Home" over the entrance.

In this Google Aerial, the pink building at center, adjacent to the upper right corner of the large green lawn, appears similar to
what's behind the gazebo in your photo, e_r.

Mateo Street
 

I remember posting on "Gun Crazy" : p. 842 #16 835 my wrong theory on Mateo Street, #16 836 e-r's answer, #16 839 correction by Hoss.

The gazebo might still be there as well, FW.

There's also an active Norwegian Seamans' Church on some prime property on Russian Hill in San Francisco...

I am confused by "Stage of New Junior Orpheum, Los Angeles :shrug:

I am only aware of the Orpheum Theater on South Broadway, built in 1926.

Was there a smaller Orpheum as well?

Norwegian-Danish Home for Girls
 

Just a follow up on the Home for Girls. Here's an aerial with the three buildings in the picture at W. 10th Street and S. Bixel Street in 1931.

Thanks Noir Noir! Good job on the photo insert and connecting it to the aerial.

Here are two snapshots taken at Venice Beach.....and one taken at an undisclosed 'Los Angeles' location.

"Me, Della and Beau(?)"................Venice Calif. Bathhouse.

"Della and Me." .............Venice - Calif - June - 1920

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/921/D3CioU.jpg

Imagine how old the building behind them is... for it to look this decrepit back in 1920!







Here's the snapshot with the undisclosed location...... other than Los Angeles 1920

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/924/mV2u8c.jpg

The grass makes me think this is a different location than Venice Beach.

The building looks just as decrepit as the one in the previous pic.

And that isn't Della.

The Junior Orpheum Building is in the 1923 city directory at 815 S. Hill Street. The name "Junior Orpheum" was soon discarded
in favor of "Hillstreet" (one word).

Whatever the building's name, HossC did a nice post on the building and its theater, which later became the RKO Hillstreet.

Thanks for the clarification, Flyingwedge. I was stumped.

A mystery location until I looked more closely at this sign.

DETAIL

The guy on the right: Because of the ink dots in forming that last letter, as in the top where it says "Venice", I believe that's "Ben".

Note to anyone: never write "ME" when assigning names to people on photographs. I can definitely say that person in the above photograph is not me!

The picture location is E. 7th Street. The buildings were owned by Wright, Callender-Andrews of 403 S. Hill St.

On La Brea Avenue, slightly north of Olympic Blvd. is what has been described as a Cathedral-Chapel of Saint Vibiana. (923 S La Brea Av.) This edifice has an interesting history that includes an eight foot height reduction for La Brea and that church structure. I do not believe we have seen any images of this construction, or for that matter, what appears to have been street widening, that predated the street regrading (around 1935). The church's proximity to the street suggests it predated any street widening, but this would probably been of minimal concern given the fact that the church was considered "temporary" until post WW2. Have we seen any images of this church when originally constructed next to a presumably narrower La Brea? Searching historic aerials uncovered a 1930 image of La Brea and the church, but it is difficult to make out any obvious topographical changes, presumably because the church footprint remained static. The same 1930 image depicts a miniature golf course on the south side of 8th Street, across from Chotiner's theater, where a mini mall now stands. While no listing appears for that business in the '30 or '32 CDs, courses are listed for 128 North La Brea and 1350 S La Brea, so there were other
alternatives.

Other questions jump to mind. Most sources indicate 10th Street was renamed to honor or "promote" the 10th Olympiad. The '31 CD indicates that the renaming was in full swing well in advance of the '32 event, so that the street was renamed earlier than '31 and not as some sources blithely state 1932. One source indicates that LA's bid to host the '32 games was accepted in the Summer of '28 https://www.webcitation.org/5xFvf0uf.../eng/past.html. Although newspapers likely report this, exactly when did the city formally rename 10th Street and was there any significant opposition to this?


A little further south of the St. Vibiana's is an interesting group of buildings with an approximate 1928 construction date. Perhaps not unlike Vibiana, these structures may have been built without contemplating street widening or significant regrading.


1101- S. La Brea.

Nearby La Brea and San Vicente, circa 1936, before any substantial street modifications. La Brea, like so many other major streets received piecemeal modifications.

Thanks, Noir Noir, for the correct location of the "Dog waits in car" photograph.

I think that's R L Grosh & Sons Scenic Studios in the background, so, given the elevation, we must be on Myra Avenue near Lexington. I believe that the building in the center below is the same one.

Grosh is still in business, as e_r showed us a few years ago. This is the other side of the view above.

It appears that the buildings across the street (where the W.F. Mallman Grocery was located) were sold to someone who built this hotel and shops in 1925:

Google Maps

The hotel name seems to have been removed.

https://oi445.photobucket.com/albums...ley/hotel1.png

Currently, this seems like an odd location for a hotel, but they probably did a good business from the train passengers at the new Central Station
at Central and 5th Street, which had opened the year before.

I miss your PMs.....when do I get another one of your fantastic memos???

It's first listings that I can find with hotel in the title are as the Hotel Hampton.

In 1939 it joins the list of Ohio Hotels in the city on E streets.

It's still there in the 1987 CD as the Ohio. So the sign was likely ...

You know perfectly well, CBD, I've only ever sent you one PM, and that was last September. At that time, you had made a series of
racial/political remarks (now deleted) that many people -- myself included -- objected to. When our thread moderator asked you
to stop making such comments, you basically told him to screw off and that you'd write whatever you wanted to. That's when I sent
you a PM suggesting you reconsider your approach to NLA. What finally prompted you to respond after more than six months?

Could you also further explain why you think the Moon landings were faked, Mr. Urantia?
