I have a total of 22 photographs missing from imageshack that I posted a couple weeks ago. :(
I've replaced 2 so far. __ Hoss, I can't see the two photographs you posted earlier this afternoon. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=33936 I'm curious, are they visible on your computer? __ |
Here's a fun jumbo postcard.
"American Bowling Congress, Long Beach California" [no date] http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/gdghG4.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/Old-Vintage-...MAAOSw~OVW0lI0 I think the lanes might have been set up in the Long Beach Arena. __ |

The host interviewed couples about how they met, where they went on their first date, etc (it's corney but kind of cute), then they would marry off-mike, in the Chapman's chapel, and afterward came back on the show. In exchange they got a bunch of loot like appliances and tableware plus a free honeymoon. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...Uh1Qw60_57.jpg postcard advertising Bride & Groom The mural in the postcard "the Annunciation" was done by Alfredo Ramos Martinez in 1936 and apprently painted over after only a few years. In 1957 the Secret Harbor restauraunt now occupying the Zephyr space expanded into the then-unused chapel and demolished the apse where the mural was. Part of the article about it from the Times at the time the the Chapman was being wrecked in 1967: http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...le/mural_1.jpg 10-5-1967 lat |

Seems that host photobuckit has amended/scrambled some preexisting settings. I also wonder if some of the photo prestidigitation may be due to posting higher resolution "png" images instead of jpeg, pushing bandwith parameters for the image host site and this site. FWIW, reposted newer links to lower res images still resulted in a few blank images - while I was logged. Then, magic reappearances after log off. :shrug: These images are from a 1944 -Santa Monica Blvd panorama (5900 block) near its intersection with Tamarind Ave. http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/si...id/72267/rec/2 Conveniently located near the cemetery. Note street lamp tops are shrouded. Probably part of the WWII black-out effort. Recall seeing a NLA map demarcating blackout areas, but they likely changed as the war progressed.

In a couple of the Chapman Park Hotel photos we see one block to the west the Auburn-Cord/Blue Cross/Packard Bell/Richfield/ARCO/Indonesian Consulate building at the NW corner of Wilshire and Mariposa, so here is an item on that building's ownership history: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...b.jpg~original Nov 4, 1951 Los Angeles Times @ LAPL |

I always thought the tower was purely ornamental, I didn't realize it was attached to a chapel. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/KzKc8J.jpgeBay also.............. posted by NCD http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...922/9c5vMn.jpg :previous: I just noticed the large house (I circled in blue above) nestled among the smaller bungalows. Does anyone know if it predates the Chapman Hotel complex (GW?) __ Thanks Flyingwedge for the follow-up on the 'Bronco' photographs. The name 'Fiesta Park' had slipped my mind; that's why my initial post was a bit vague. |

Here are two additional Hallett 'Bronco Pictures' from around 1911.
I like to point out the people in the periphery. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...921/c4sMRG.jpg eBay http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/gbTq4A.jpg eBay It looks like the bleachers are on the opposite side of the fence facing a different attraction. -perhaps in Chutes Park. __ |
Here's a fun photograph I happened across on eBay a month or so ago.
It shows the Cole Bros. Circus in Los Angeles. (but it doesn't include a location, other than the city, or the date) I've kept it LARGE for your viewing pleasure. :) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/921/MFE3Fj.jpg eBay -from the look of things it appears to be in 1940s.

I hope these images show up. I emailed Photobucket yesterday, but so far I've only had automated responses.
-------------- I posted about the Stiles Oliver Clements designed Vons store at the Broadway-Crenshaw Center in post #33284. A couple of my images, and a couple in Noircitydame's follow-up in post #33285, show the extant Broadway department store at that location. This is Julius Shulman's view of The Broadway. It's "Job 142: Raymond Loewy, The Broadway (Department Store) (Los Angeles, Calif.),1947". http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute The building is now occupied by Walmart. Due to work on the Metro Crenshaw Line, the Googlemobile hasn't been able to get closer than this for the last few years. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original GSV |
:previous: Yes! I can see them Hoss. :) Beautiful Shulman photographs.
While we're in the area, I wanted to ask about a former Bank of America that's just a block or so south on Crenshaw. Today it is a liquor store called 'The Liquor Bank'. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/2icv25.jpg gsv I know it was a B of A because if you look closely the Bank of America Clipper Ship is visible on the deco pylon (see below) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/DEQySC.jpg detail Surely we've visited this former bank on NLA, but I haven't been able to find any previous posts. Was it one of your Bank of America Shulman photos Hoss, and I just forgot? __ |
The color in this Kodachrome slide from the 1940s is spectacular.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/ZeQTbj.jpg eBay I feel like I should know where this is, but at the moment it escapes me. _ Thanks for locating the Carodin Wardrobe slide from this afternoon Lakeshow. -much appreciated. |
I just happened across the following two slides earlier today.
They're both dated 1953, and the seller says they show a LARy "rail laying car". http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...921/c0NZVa.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/Orig-Kodachr...8AAOSwUuFWz63M It would be fun to figure out the location but I don't believe there are enough clues. Here's the second one folks. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/IF0P6G.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/Orig-Kodachr...kAAOSwx-9Wz67g __ |
