Airport arrival, 1958 26 July 1958. Van Cliburn arrives via United Air Lines for Hollywood Bowl performance". My gosh, he looks young (he was 23). Wow, that was a lot of years ago. Van Cliburn died yesterday at 78. USC digital archive/Los Angeles Examiner Collection, 1920-1961 |

Original building by Abel Stearns, 1831, rebuilt in bricks imported from Philadelphia in 1855 with millstones from France for "Eagle Mill', then "Deming Mill". Capitol Mill founded here in 1883. Morgan & Walls were architects for the 1898 additions. Building shuttered when the company moved to larger premises in Colton in 1998. ConAgra acquired Capitol Milling in 1999.

It's just amazing how much you already know about L.A., tovangar. Are there no surprises for you? Here are some more Capitol Milling pics in a prior post of ER's http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=4115 |
Do you see what I see?

City Hall from Fort Moore Hill, Arnold Hylen, 1951 Nice, typically stark Arnold Hylen shot of City Hall. But look right there in the middle distance, right behind that chain link fence. See that 'curb'? I think that's the south portal of the ever elusive Hill Street tunnel no. 2. California State Library, California History Room |

Thx e_r. I'd been thinking about Capitol Mills, relatively recently boxed in by new development. I don't know if that makes the endlessly-proposed lofting more or less likely. It would be a fun building to own, so near the Corn Fields. I'm still gob-smacked by the imagery in that Westwood Hills flyer: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-j...150%2520AM.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/army_arch/ You gotta hand it to those Janss Bros.... P.S. I meant to ask in my previous post, what's with the other address for Capital Mills in that old letterhead? I can't figure that one out. Anyone know? |
