Gee, that's a nice shot.

:previous: It's disorienting to me. -so we're looking at the back of the house, right?
& am I correct in saying the large rooftop sign is the 'Examiner* sign? (the one with the huge diagonal arrow) ______ I just noticed the flagpole up near the sign. I believe it's on the roof of a second building that we can't see. -(if not, then it's a really tall pole ;)) *corrected by HossC |
& here's a second photograph (this time an original snapshot) from ebay.

"Bud and Harold" posing on a beach in south Los Angeles.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...922/30qd9Q.jpg old file You can see several oil wells in the distance, so I'm thinking this could be Huntington Beach(?)...or numerous other places down that way. a closer look I wonder about the building in the middle distance (adjacent to the beach) To me, it looks like a clubhouse of some sort. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/XAKBa5.jpg I'd be disingenuous if I didn't mention the guy on the right. I wonder if he's a sailor...what with the arm tattoo and all. I have to admit, I'm in Joe Roig territory here. ;) _ |

In 1909 Charles N. Williams lived at 517 Casco. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...923/oWbGJw.jpg lapl :previous: So was Charles a department clerk and the Commissioner......or a department clerk that worked for the Commissioner? with his wife Olive, an artist. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...924/2PUsSh.jpg lapl I know her name was Olive (and an artist) because she was listed twice in the directory. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...923/lTnQev.jpg lapl _________ I thought I had found Philip Kilfoil's son (also named Philip). If I have the right person, he attended Oneonta Military Academy in South Pasadena and later played football for USC. But then I started getting all confused and decided I couldn't prove it was the killer's son. |

Yes, we're looking northwest across the 1931 extension of N Spring Street from the driveway of the recently opened Federal Courthouse and Post Office. The back of the Alhambra Apartments on the left (the Hall of Justice is just out-of-frame to the left), the back of Hancock Banning's house which numbers at 416 N Broadway atop the hill pretty much dead center (to the right of the Banning house is the back of the Milo Baker house, although the Hilliker house is there between them it is obscured by the tree below the Banning house) and above the Alhambra we can just make out the looming framework of the huge 'It's in the Examiner' sign which was mounted above the Broadway tunnel. The adjacent flagpole was also mounted above the tunnel entrance. Los Angeles was a so much more interesting place back then. well Hoss did a better job on that. |
Great !

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/fS...=w1184-h578-no gsv Too bad Colima was not incorporated into the design. Developers love a "clean slate". This area is interesting too, to me anyway, because of the fascinating, but unsolvable mystery of the location of the previous Plaza (there may have been more than one according so some accounts). Here's one guess: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/iO...A=w444-h510-no nopalera |
Today's Julius Shulman subject is a hospital in Long Beach. It's "Job 3162: Kenneth Wing, Memorial Hospital of Long Beach, Calif., 1961".
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original The other shot shows the entrance. I like the zig-zag design. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Both from Getty Research Institute The hospital can still be found at 2801 Atlantic Avenue. The building is in the middle of the block, and hidden by trees from the nearest streets, so I went for an aerial view. There have obviously been some additions over the years, and I don't know if the zig-zag detail survives. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original Google Maps |

You stumped me there....Joe Roig? Actor?:) |

Yes, an actor in only one film that we know of: Tiger Shark, 1932. And this: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=26123 |

The photo looks like the Long Beach area. But that's just a guess. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...922/30qd9Q.jpg |

E_R, I posted what appears to be the same photo, only there's more to it. I quoted the whole post because I replaced a missing photo in it and also added several others, including a video. Quote:

George Takei recently had a guest editorial in the NYT (here) that is relevant. |
