In the color shot, couldn't help but notice the Ford House at left center, now situated at Heritage Square - then 140 N. Beaudry at Mignonette, if memory serves me right. http://heritagesquare.org/wp-content...lore/ford1.jpgHeritage Square |

I thought the heavy-set man with the gray hair was just a crew member having a discussion with 'Director Von Stroheim'*,
and the 'Barrymore' in question is behind him, awaiting direction. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/912/sUzQbf.jpg eBay http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...905/8lVIAA.jpg :previous: He certainly has the Barrymore nose. * and 'Director Von Stroheim' could just be someone with a Von Stroheim-like haircut. |

posted earlier by HossC / west portal, 2nd street tunnel.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...673/Gyyd22.jpg I didn't realize the 2nd Street Tunnel was once trumpeted as the panacea to traffic problems for drivers trying to reach downtown from the west (and north). Nov. 7, 1920 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...673/zOLDIC.jpg Los Angeles Times via https://silentlocations.wordpress.co...2nd-st-tunnel/ "2nd Street had long been a major transportation bottleneck, as traffic from Hollywood and Glendale had to be diverted south from 2nd Street, around Bunker Hill, before entering the city." So they decided to build a tunnel. __ |
You know what part of Bunker Hill I really dig? The graveyard.
No, I'm not thinking about Fort Moore, nor have I gone loony. I just found out about this really cool cemetery on First above Fremont: https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7792/1...f6a9e1f3_h.jpg Well, ok, not really. Apparently the neighborhood kids, on looking at the foundations of the apartment-house demolished at 915/917 First, decided they looked too much like headstones not to have some spooky fun. Look, there's even a little cross. Perhaps they buried their pets there? Or were they making a wry comment about the death of Bunker Hill? Note the signage those irrepressible scamps have scrawled! https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7751/1...8a5022d7_b.jpghttps://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8868/1...d4f28a34_z.jpg So what we're looking at is the back of 910, 914/16, & 920 Diamond (the Mission parapet is the Occidental Apts across the street at 911 Diamond), from First between Fremont and Figueroa. https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7754/1...8e016839_b.jpg Here, it can hardly be seen, blocked at lower left by 929/931 First St, in this image (taken, obviously, from the newly-minted 110 overpass) dated October 18, 1955: https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7770/1...972c5e76_b.jpg While in the undated color images, 929/931 is now just a pit, and we can see the graveyard just fine — https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8867/1...15608275_b.jpg Which of course now looks like this. https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8778/1...5267f49f_b.jpg Which begs the question, having removed the headstones, did they actually remove the bodies? |

gsv Thx for posting that 1935 shot that includes the long-since-demolished Fox Little Santa Monica entrance building. Here's an indistinct postcard image of it with the Beverly Hills oil field to the left and some standing sets to the right: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-H...74047%2BPM.jpg wikimapia e_r posted a head-on photo of the facade, but I can't find it now. I did a post on the two extant historic buildings on the Fox lot. I can't find that either. |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rPretzels1.jpg news.google.com Here's an advert for the company from the 1903 CD. I believe the small text in e_r's original picture says "PHONE 2063" (the "3" runs into the border). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rPretzels2.jpg www.fold3.com |
We've visited the 4th Street Cut and the elevated section that joins 4th Street to the Harbor Freeway many times (post #23024 by MichaelRyerson has a lot of info/pictures), but I couldn't resist posting these 1955 Leonard Nadel construction photos. They're all from the "Leonard Nadel photographs of Community Redevelopment Agency projects, 1948-1998" > "Urban Redevelopment Commission, 1949-1955" section. Again, I've listed the subsection/name of negative under the images.
There's a lot of scaffolding in this shot which looks across Flower Street from Figueroa. The Stuart K. Oliver house is on the hill just right of center, and the Barbara Worth is on the far right. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original getty.edu "Parking lots and the Fourth St. ramp, 1955 August 9" > "UR1-1 (negative 1)" A reverse shot looking towards the Harbor Freeway. The little cabin at the bottom says something like "P & L BODY SHOP" on the side, although it probably wasn't still in business (it's not listed in the 1956 CD). That gap in the elevated section over Figueroa looks perfect for a movie car chase/jump :). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original getty.edu "Parking lots and the Fourth St. ramp, 1955 August 9" > "UR1-8 (negative 11)" The La Belle, the Gordon, the Bronx, the Zelda, the Sherwood and the Rose Mansion have all gone, but at least there's a new parking lot! The Mutual Garage is visible in the background. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original getty.edu "Parking lots and the Fourth St. ramp, 1955 August 9" > "UR1-3 (negative 6)" I mentioned the temporary ramp between Flower Street and the 4th Street Cut when I posted Leonard Nadel's Bunker Hill aerial photos at the weekend. Here's a better view. This picture is dated two months after the ones above, and it looks like most of the scaffolding has gone. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original getty.edu "Playgrounds, substandard, poor, and acceptable housing, traffic, and general views, 1955 October 18" > "BH2-135a (negative 18)" |
