I have a question and I know you wonderful sleuths will know the answer. :)
What is the name of the nearly block long building that resembles gabled rowhouses? http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/6558/1916itworked.jpg If I remember correctly uscdl |

ethereal: That's the SE corner of 7th & Figueroa--the YMCA is the big building at left--but I don't think I've never seen those before-- if those are rowhouses, they must be the only examples ever built in old LA--
great ID, Beaudry---do you know if they were set up as attached houses? If so, interesting as that urban type is basically unknown in LA-- |
Everything you always wanted to know about the Martz Flats! July 1, 1965:

Thanks Beaudry for all the information on the Martz Flats. I had heard of them in the past but hadn't quite pieced it all together. From the photo you posted above...they were much more ornate than I expected. ...again thanks. -ethereal |
This photo from 1922 shows 5th Street dead ending at Fremont Street.

GW,
the lapl california index database indicates that there is quite a bit of information, including architectural plans available at the library. unfortunately these items can only be viewed in person, (and i do believe you need a library card to do so). here are some of the items mentioned as being available http://dbase1.lapl.org/webpics/calin...621031-001.jpg http://dbase1.lapl.org/webpics/calin...106012-008.jpg http://dbase1.lapl.org/webpics/calin...621031-002.jpg http://dbase1.lapl.org/webpics/calin...621031-003.jpg http://dbase1.lapl.org/webpics/calin...621031-010.jpg anyway, there are 54 records of items being available. you can search for them here btw, love your berkeley square blog! |
a great article from 1983 on the prudent beaudry house

WOW!
Have just reached the last page of this incredible thread. Each day for the past few weeks I've nibbled on ten or so pages & been completely blown away by the quality AND quantity of research. Some pages have brought floods of memories (I've lived in L.A.since 1955), others have brought me to the brink of tears; all of the material is spectacular. Thanks to all of you for putting it out there for L.A. junkies like me to feast upon...I'll be looking for more. |
Welcome to the thread nostalgie. Your post in itself is touching.

Whenever we revisit the Richfield Building I struggle to come to terms with the loss. This thread has briefly covered some of the Richfield 'angels' that have been located in several gardens and collections. http://www.laobserved.com/visiting/2...ing_richfi.php Recently I discovered that several of the Richfield 'warriors' have survived and are located at the University of California Santa Barbara in front of the Student Health Buidling. http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/1...ntofstuden.jpg dreamyshade/flickr _____________ |
