Not the first time my search skills have dissappointed. :blush: Strange as it may seem, the post originally started with a reference to "Chester" Place, Mr, Doheny's humble abode. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTA1NlgxNj...SqSv-/$_58.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTA1NlgxNj...SqSv-/$_58.JPG http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6...2059f4a970b-pihttp://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6...2059f4a970b-pi |
I recently found this rare postcard of the Hotel Munn.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...0/191/2zl4.jpg I've outlined the Hotel Munn on this detail of a 6x8 negative found on ebay http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/849/xjq0.jpg Beaudry described the view in 2010. Quote:

The short of it is that this is actually the first house in Chester Place, built by Nathan Vail, set back from and facing Adams Street--Vail also built the present Chester Place gates on Adams as his entrance. In 1885 Vail sold the house to his business partner Charles Silent, who went on to develop part of the property into St. James Park, and, later, after moving his house out of the way and extending to driveway to 23rd Street, creating Chester Place (named after Silent's son). The ambitious ex-telephone operator Estelle Doheny, apparently fanatical about controlling her environment, eventually bought up all the houses built on CP. She tore down the Vail/Silent house, which had became #4. (One poster here in 2010 has it that the house was torn down to make way for the driveway-turned-street, but this is incorrect.) More info in prior posts. |

Those engines are known as M-E-L block engines among vintage car enthusiasts. "M" for Mercury, "E" for Edsel, and "L" for Lincoln. The engines in the photos would have been destined for Mercury and Edsel production only as Lincolns were produced only in Ford's Wixom, Michigan plant from it's opening in 1957 until its closing in 2007. The engine type would have only been placed in cars produced in L.A. through 1960 Mercury production. For Edsels it was a two year deal. In the photos the exhaust manifolds on pictured engines implies that the most of them were destined for Edsels (the ones without the "Camel hump" manifold design). Some of the engines depicted appear to be "FE" block engines that were used in Ford and Edsel production. I have a '58 Mercury with the 430 c.i. version of the "MEL" block engine, shared only with Lincolns, and as originally produced there wasn't enough Boron on the planet to improve its fuel consumption. A little re-engineering and $6,000 fixed it to where it now gets 19 mpg highway. GW knowing you are a Mercury affectionado PM me your E-Mail address and I'll shot you a couple of photos of the car, which is virtually identical to the one my Dad special ordered in October of 1957. |
Great find, ER.

I don't remember seeing anything here about the restaurant Sarnez... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-L...101%2520PM.jpg Looks like it may still be under a later facade at 170 N La Cienega https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-c...2520PM.bmp.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-D...010%2520PM.jpg |
Anyone familiar with this organization?

According to the Herald, top architects Hunt & Eager designed the house built by the Chaffeys in 1904--as was common in the era, it appears that Andrew put the house in his wife's name. Prophet provided a link to the excellent Boyle Height History Blog above; in the blog is mentioned Andrew and Maud's relocation to his father's house on Wilshire, which is this one: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K...ithaddress.jpg More here: http://wilshireboulevardhouses.blogs...e-see-our.html |
