Long shot but could it be Hathaway mansion on Apex?

Great images (though, in the dept. of nitpicking, it's a '61 Lincoln...)-- that old airport sign reminds me of a scene-setting shot seen from time to time in Perry Mason episodes...in which it would be referred to as "International Airport"--no article "the" ("Della is picking us up at International Airport")-- Here, coincidentally, are Perry & Della in his '61/2/or 3 Lincoln convertible... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Qj...s=w835-h595-no |

It's great that the Times report was so chock-a-block with addresses. I looked 'em all up. |

New member tdinla (hey td) is currently the owner of the gorgeous Craftsman at 202 N Westlake Ave (1910), a home BifRayRock and I got interested in a while back:

Can anyone here shed more light on the history of td's house or Thomas Thurman, who moved this and other homes? Not sure if this is even the right Thurman: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/i-...o=w782-h414-no Angelus Rosedale Cemetery find a grave |

202 N Westlake is currently between Court and West 1st...the latter now being Beverly Blvd. Don't know where the Bunker Hill idea comes from. Before the street and address changes after the annexations occuring around 1910, Westlake in this area was Quebec Street. There are various references to Thurmans on Quebec going back to 1904--including a Louis, who built 121 that year.... Thomas and Minnie Thurman, an African-American couple, were living across the street at 203 during the '20s, when, in May 1925, they built a new foundation for 202...can't tell from building permits where the house was coming from.

I loved this photograph so much I just wanted to see it again. :)

Below: Is this a skylight? If it is, it seems like an odd place for one. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/1P2ECS.jpg detail I can't imagine what else it might be. On Fw's Sanborn map there is a small circle at that spot (there's one on the other side as well) Quote:
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...924/NpUDht.jpg lapl Do the small circles denote a skylight? (a more appropriate symbol would be a small rectangle....the same shape as a skylight). If it is a skylight, why is it at the bottom of what Flyingwedge called the "slice". __ p.s. And what is a F.A. Box? (lower left corner on the Sanborn) |

shows a skylight. I didn't see any square or rectangular skylights anywhere on the Sanborn page that shows the building in the photo. As to why the skylight is at the bottom of what I could have called the "wedge," maybe the skylight helped illuminate the back of the ground-floor store better than a window on the side of the wall would have? |

202 n westlake ave, more info
Thanks Tovangar2, BifRayRock, and Gaylord Wilshire. Appreciate all the info on 202 N Westlake Ave!
The permit I found to move the house in 1925 says it was moved from "between Court St and W 1st Street" to 202 N Westlake Ave. If I google Court and West 1st it takes me to a spot downtown next to the current DWP. (Part of old Bunker Hill) I found old maps of downtown that have court street running uninterrupted to city hall. (Hope I've added images properly) But as you say, not certain that's where it was moved from. I didn't think there were too many craftsman places on Bunker Hill, and haven't found any photos that show this house there, but if anyone knows of any historical photos of this house, I would be incredibly grateful. It really is a cool house, with a great vibe and view. We love it and can't wait to restore it. It also was clearly cut in half in order to be moved. There is a line running right through the wood floor and all moulding. Wish there were a pic of it while in process of being moved! I think the real estate listing may have conflated the history of the pink house that Thomas Thurman also moved in 1925 from Normandie and that's why they thought it was originally in Hollywood? I'm not sure. But I can definitely picture it as a Jazz/party house at some point in it's history. And btw, the gravestone that you showed is definitely the same Thomas Thurman. I found records through calisphere.org and rescarta. They also mention quebec street. Any other insights into the history of the house (or photos esp) are greatly appreciated! Hope I'm posting these images correctly: https://s1.postimg.org/3kleyxh4zf/19...ake_Page_1.jpg https://s1.postimg.org/1ssg411f9n/19...ake_Page_2.jpg https://s1.postimg.org/10fkmai18b/old_court_st.png https://s1.postimg.org/1wc21qs53v/old_downtown.png https://s1.postimg.org/3771w1n8nv/18...man_quebec.png https://s1.postimg.org/3htvp72oiz/19..._directory.png https://s1.postimg.org/6gix6vfqjv/th...n_westlake.png https://s1.postimg.org/2ufnpurw7f/ph...-1500x1000.jpg http://postimg.org/image/5ul5bewvmz/ http://postimg.org/image/4df09nv3rv/ http://postimg.org/image/3z8kisn0mj/ http://postimg.org/image/4v51y8x4i3/ https://postimg.org/image/2ufnpurw7f/ http://postimg.org/image/3771w1n8nv/ http://postimg.org/image/3htvp72oiz/ http://postimg.org/image/6gix6vfqjv/ |

I've been trying to find another example of a skylight like the one in the building, but I haven't had any luck yet. __ Quote:
