I found this photo on reddit saying "Sigourney Weaver eating a hot dog in 1983, photographed by Douglas Kirkland." The Pop-Colorture site colored it.

2700 W. 7th St. was the Westlake Camera Exchange according to a 17 July 1948 Los Angeles Times ad. The same address is the Silver Platter Grill in the 1956 City Directory, so we know it was there before 1963.

Now a retail mall, though the apartment building behind at an angle is still there. This photo is in Wes Clark's ginormous assemblage of Burbankiana. (top link, San Fernando Road.) But no addresses! Now, time for a chicken kebab run. |

Here's a little snapshot of cowboy actor Monte Hale in Hollywood. (1949)

The Tail o' the Pup was purchased two years ago by 1933 Group. The building is currently being restored at their facility and a new location for the restaurant, about two miles from the original, is being prepared.

I have had this 'mystery' photograph in my file for quite some time and have often wondered where it was taken. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/DOpj2F.jpg Heather David / flickr (wasn't able to find the pic again) The only description is "Downtown Los Angeles Bldg. Detail" As you can see. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/3...924/UjTuIn.jpg flickr Could it be a stairwell in the old Alexander Hotel?....There is similar stained glass in the Alexander's ballroom. (circa 1906) . |

It's in her gallery L.A. Weekend 2013. Just after a photo of the May Company and some shots of converted theatres. |

Yes, that's where I first saw the photograph. Thanks Mackerm. I just happened upon a 4 x 5 film negative on eBay When I first looked at the photograph I thought the Park Wilshire had added an elaborate, art deco side entrance! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/BAYLOX.jpg eBay but if you look closely (BELOW) there is also a thermometer/calendar (?) & writing at the top. .as well as a pegasus!. . . .so it's obviously part of the gas station. - -even though (to me) it looks like it's across the side-street. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/UX6EJh.jpg detail Surely, we have seen the 'Coronado Wilshire Center' previously on NLA, right?....- for some reason, I don't remember the elaborate tower. :no: |
:previous:
I posted Julius Shulman images of the single-story building on the right in post #32988, although they didn't include the tower. You posted this color shot about six weeks later. It shows the tower from the other side, but I'm not sure if we've seen a good close-up. Quote:

Scott Charles... jerry 1956's link, below, to the Tail of the Pup article on Laist is from 2016. https://www.lamag.com/askchris/tail-...valley-museum/ Yes, plans were made for one to reopen in it's original location and a couple others planned to open elsewhere. And what you quoted above about the original is accurate at that time. Next we have a June, 2017 article from Los Angeles Magazine: https://www.lamag.com/askchris/tail-...valley-museum/ This article states that the original Tail of the Pup will be an exhibit at the Valley Relics Museum. The end of the article says: "The museum is inviting fans to come greet the Pup at 2 p.m. on Thursday at The Print Lab in North Hollywood, where it will be cleaned and prepared to go on display at the museum later this month." Next, we have this article from Los Angeles Magazine a year later, July 31, 2018: https://www.lamag.com/digestblog/tai...ng-1933-group/ This article states the "original" Tail of the Pup has been acquired by the 1933Group. This article is from LA Curbed a few days later, August 3, 2018: https://la.curbed.com/2018/8/3/17635...ner-1933-group It states, "Tail O’ the Pup and its fantastic neon sign were donated to the Valley Relics Museum about a year ago, after a deal between its longtime owners, the Blake family, and potential business partners to bring the Pup back fell through. The museum put it in storage, and museum founder Tommy Gelinas told Curbed in 2017 that it has sat awaiting restoration. Gelinas connected the Blakes with 1933 Group, says Green. The family “wanted to find the right people.” The last word right now is that the 1933Group, which restored the Formosa and reopened it last year, is looking for a suitable location for it, it's original one or one nearby. The 1933Group has it on their website where it says, "We're comin' back soon! Stay tuned!" https://www.1933group.com/#/tail-o-the-pup Then they have the link to the Los Angeles Magazine story I linked above. EXCEPT, if you click their link it doesn't work, because they left out the "s" in the http"s" of the link. So use mine if you want to read it. So that's the latest info for the Tail of the Pup! |
That was the plan of the former owners (Killer Shrimp) in 2016. The 1933 Group fully intend to return the original building to its original use. They have acquired a property and are building out a modern kitchen that the Pup will sit in front of. The 2018 article I shared explained it all: https://www.lamag.com/digestblog/tai...ng-1933-group/
