Shockproof
I saw this You Tube clip a year or two back and wondered at the time the significance of the film and why the guy was driving around Bunker Hill in the car. Does he actually feature in Shockproof? Does anyone know what car he is driving? Later on in the clip there is a shot of him driving out of town with a good view of the Richfield building behind him.

Banking Hall
Thx for the post -great example of late 1950s architecture. Does anyone know whether this banking hall survived in any shape or form or has the building since been refitted or demolished?

Epitome of Noir
Excellent post, Tovangar2. Thx. This building and its history have all the essential ingredients of noir.
Classically inspired? LOL. The frieze of Mercury is truly (and endearingly) dreadful. Cleaning them up? An interesting concept...I'm sure the pun was intended. Regards alester Quote:

And here's the Pacific National Building on the northwest corner of Ninth and Hill in 1933. The Hotel Alpine is still there on the northeast corner and the little old Percival is there peeking up just north of the Pacific National. You can pick out the Percival because of the distinctive window pattern. (and the Five-Globe Llewellyn's have made it through to '33) http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8522/8...679f7eff_o.png Pacific National Building, 9th & Hill St., Los Angeles, 1933 "Pacific National Building at Ninth and Hill, where the Carbon Dioxide Land Co. this week acquired a long lease on the entire ground floor and basement for its headquarters." -- Examiner clipping attached to verso, dated 19 August 1933.; USC digital archive/Los Angeles Examiner Collection, 1920-1961 |
