I could really use some help on this one. (I've had this in one of my old files for quite some time)
The German Consulate in Los Angeles. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...538/Uw7Kg4.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...909/OpY4CN.jpg eBay detail. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320...661/Vidb92.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320...911/odrhNI.jpg I thought it would be fairly easy to locate, but I haven't had much luck so far. I've looked in the W. Adams district, as well as the Hancock Park area, to no avail. :( GW, you're pretty much our go-to guy when it comes to residences. Does this one look familiar to you? |

ER....I believe this was the shape and color of the logo on the consulate house during that era. This is from a 1939 German book that details the various logos and flags of the National Socialist regime. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psgggky3lq.jpg od43 I can't find the address...I must be using the wrong search words or year. Good luck to someone who finds it. |
:previous: CBD, I've looked through numerous Los Angeles directories from the 1930s, and couldn't find an answer.
Several show the German Consulate offices downtown on 9th Street. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...537/Okguev.jpg LAPL |
This is a pretty impressive snapshot, to say the least.

(where do you think the photographer was positioned to get this vantage point?) __________________________ I've been trying to read some of the signs by using this enlargement. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/540/SuvMx1.jpg |

Georg Gyssing
Quote:
Georg Gyssling was the German Consul General in Los Angeles from 1933 until 1941. His involvement with the studios and David Breen of the Hays office is detailed in "Hitler in Hollywood, Did the studios collaborate?" by David Denby (the New Yorker, 9/16/2013) which is partly a critique of of Ben Urwand's 2013 book, "The Collaboration: Hollywood's Pact with Hitler". An excerpt of Urwand's book was published in The Hollywood Reporter, 7//31/2013. It's here A short article here details another fascinating, though minor, character, debonair man-about-town, Werner Plack. Plack, a multilingual German, worked as a movie extra, sold German wine to film celebrities and was generally charming in various Hollywood nightclubs, all the while reporting back to his real boss, Georg Gyssing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- You mentioned Bonita Granville BDiH and I sat right down and watched "Breakfast in Hollywood" 1946, which was hokey good fun, showcasing Billie Burke and Nat King Cole. I'd be watching "Nocturne" right now if I could find a copy. |

June 25, 1938: More than 500 protesters march in downtown Los Angeles against German involvement in the aerial bombing of Spain. Carrying placards and chanting slogans against Nazism and Fascism, more than 500 picketers marched yesterday in front of the office building at 117 West 9th Street which holds the headquarters of German Consul, Dr. Georg Gyssling. The demonstration, aimed specifically at asserted German participation in Spain bombings, was sponsored by the North American Committee for Defense of Spanish Democracy and included delegates from many sympathetic groups. Starting at 11 a.m., it continued for two hours, the double picket line extending at times on to Spring street and Broadway… Although several police officers stood by at the scene, the only minor disturbances were caused by several bags of water tossed from office windows toward the picketers.

The German consul's residence in the mid-'30s was at 1801 N Curson--but in taking a GSV look at what comes up for that address, the house there--apparently of similar vintage to the one in the picture--does not appear the same. (There also needs to be some chain-sawing.) The lot looks similar though--perhaps the house was remodeled after the war to expunge the Germanness.... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_...2520AM.bmp.jpg |

1801 N Curson is listed as the current home of the Caroll Richter Astrology Foundation. Presumably it was confiscated at the start of hostilities with Germany and sold off later.
Zillow says it was built in 1912. I can't reconcile any of the aerials with that picture from the street. From the looks of the Google Earth shot they have some roof problems. Cheers, Earl |

The house is centered below in the somewhat inconclusive 1948 aerial. However, there are palm trees in er's photo and palms all around 4th and Mariposa: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...6.jpg~original Historic Aerials.com -- http://www.historicaerials.com/ 403 S. Mariposa on the 1921 Sanborn Map; this seems to match the house in the photo fairly well: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...c.jpg~original LAPL |
Mystery Solved.......!!!
