I searched "Queirolos", Queiroles", "Queriola" & "Queriolo" and nothing came up,
so I'm pretty sure this photograph is new to the thread. (I also searched "Queriolo" and "Queirolo" at both LAPL and USC Digital Archives with no results) What first caught my eye was that amazing car on this dirt street full of jalopies. What was that guy doing in this neighborhood I wondered. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...537/9DHQJg.jpg old file /dated 2011 "_ _ __ _ _along Queriolo St. from Date St." (written in white along the bottom of the photograph) I've pinpointed the location on this 1906 map. (here the street is spelled Queirolo) -the i is before the r instead of after it, like it is on the photograph http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...538/M9Ku0b.jpg below: on this map I thought the street was spelled "Queirolos", (I just realized the s is for st, the t is invisible) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...540/AxmF5A.jpg -here's a closer look at that beautiful automobile. I wonder what the round sign on the gate with the interesting graphic is for ...does it say BAG! or BANG!...B http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...540/iW3qPh.jpg below: In this detail you can make out the name "Eureka Supply Co." on a sign down the street. (but I can't read the name above the door on the building at left) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...540/LiJToA.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...631/VWqQHH.jpg 1932 city directory / LAPL So what is the tall building at the end of Queriolo Street.......does anyone know? ...and what do you think that guy in the fancy automobile is doing in this run-down part of town. ;) __ |
THe Compton pic is post ww2. The car didn't go into service on PE, for the US MAritime Commission, until 1943, PE bought it and refurbished it after the war, when it got the PE paint and number shown. Without looking, this car came from Northwestern PAcific, while many more of similar appearance came from Southern Pacific Oakland lines. To put a fine point on it, the ex SP cars were owned by the toll bridge authority to pay off an SP debt

(you can see them in the postcard) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...673/QJZXlJ.jpg looking down on the building http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...673/XfwYky.jpg google_earth :previous: Again, there's that lighter area along the roof / could that have been the row of windows in your postcard? |

I just came across this photo earlier this afternoon on ebay.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/911/IErSiA.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/DOWNTOWN-LOS...item4190bffc73 Take a look at that precarious scaffolding. Obviously there's construction going on...but that seems ridiculously tall. -also note the white house with the turret next to the construction. -anyone recognize the house? It looks like a real charmer. __ |
:previous: The Barker Bros Store was on Spring between 4th and 5th, meaning your turreted house was on Main between 5th and 6th (I think)

This card with 1906 date was found on Martin Turnbull's site of Hollywood places. Lots of period photographs on this ppage.

422 S Spring - Barker Bros, furniture and carpets 439-441 S Spring - Niles Pease Furniture Co, furniture, carpets and draperies 530 S Spring - Edwin J Brent, furniture 507 S Main - H Raphael Co, glass doors and windows And a few more for businesses without visible signs on South Main: 513 S Main - Chas Whealand, upholsterer 515 S Main - M Kalisher & Co, billiard and pool supplies 519 S Main - Chas P Walker, second-hand goods 523 S Main - John W Griffin, resident 527 S Main - Mrs Louie Y Garner, resident 533 S Main - Jas A Donahue, resident Back in the 1898 CD, 533 S Main was the address of the Silver Republican Club. The house in the picture above does not match the one posted by e_r in post #23681, but that photo didn't come with an address. Then again, when I compare the photo above to the 1910 Baist map below, 533 S Main should back onto the building with the "Brent's The Great Credit House" sign i.e. just off the bottom of the picture. That would mean that the building under construction was the Brennan Hotel, and the turreted house was later replaced by the Interlaken/Interlacken Hotel (listed at 521½ S Main in the 1909 CD). The 1910 Baist map below is from my reply about the Silver Republican Club in post #23689, which also includes a link to tovangar2's post about the Brennan Hotel fire of 1913. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...epublican1.jpg www.historicmapworks.com |
:previous: -Excellent research HossC.
So the building under construction in my eBay photo eventually burned. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/537/Sbuf6V.jpg http://laist.com/2013/01/24/historic...re.php#photo-4 here's an interesting anecdote http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...911/9uBjaX.jpg http://www.lafire.com/famous_fires/1...anHoteFire.htm -am I reading this correctly? A movie company sent over a camera man and actors to film fictional "rescue scenes". I wonder what movie the scenes ended up in? __ |

The old address for the club was 318 W 2nd Street (see here) The Silver Republicans moved to Main St on 1 September 1897 (see here) And thx HossC, you're being amazing today. |

Wasn't Don Ellis's place, The Boneyard, near there in the '60s? Ellis was a visionary jazz big band leader, arranger and musician.

Dreamland Roller Skating Rink @ 1138 S. Main
Quote:
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...s.jpg~original 1906 Sanborn Map @ LAPL http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...t.jpg~original 1906 LA City Directory @ Fold3.com A. M. Edelman was its architect: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...j.jpg~original http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...y.jpg~original January 7, 1906 LA Times Dreamland opened March 20, 1906: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...5.jpg~original March 18, 1906 LA Herald -- http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lc...18/ed-1/seq-4/ No, Harley Davidson did not also build motorcycles. :) Here's a photo of him with another story about the rink: http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lc...arRange&page=2 You can read about the successful opening night here: http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lc...arRange&page=2 Then . . . disaster! http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...4.jpg~original February 5, 1907 LA Herald -- http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lc...05/ed-1/seq-7/ The same day, the LA Times reported the story a bit more succinctly: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...y.jpg~original The Dreamland Roller Skating Rink lasted less than a year: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...s.jpg~original March 7, 1907 LA Herald -- http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lc...7/ed-1/seq-12/ So the July 26, 1907 postmark on the postcard is a bit of a surprise. Another surprise is that the 1910 Baist Map does not show the alley between Los Angeles and Main (again, north is on the right): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...f.jpg~original Historic Mapworks -- http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/19466/Plate+001/ The 1914 map shows the alley. The map also shows that our building on Main has changed from frame to brick. I'm a little perplexed by that, given the visual evidence I'll show next: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...a.jpg~original Historic Mapworks -- http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/19056/Plate+001/ This is the NE corner of 12th and Main in 1939. It's hard to tell, but The Market Co. building might be the remodeled Dreamland building. The Sanborn Map doesn't show the jog in the roof, but please note the two raised, long, boxy skylights (if that's what they are) on the roof: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...7.jpg~original USCDL -- http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/si...id/20009/rec/3 I've zoomed in on part of a photo taken January 1, 1907. At right, Main Street angles to the left between 10th and 11th Streets, just past the Hotel Cadillac. The spires of St. Joseph's Church at the SE corner of 12th and Los Angeles Streets are at far left. If you look closely above and to the right of the MUNGER'S LAUNDRY sign, you can see the row of those raised, long, boxy skylights stretching from Main Street almost all the way to Los Angeles Street. Is that the same building -- before it was cut in half -- as in the 1939 photo?: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...z.jpg~original USCDL -- http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...5/id/929/rec/9 Here's the east side of Main, north of 12th Street today. The building on the NE corner of 12th and Main looks to be the same one from the 1939 photo, but the old Dreamland site was a parking lot by 1964 (per Historic Aerials.com): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...n.jpg~original GSV |
