Vive La France!
The La France Apartments were at 681 S. Burlington, between Wilshire Blvd. and 7th Street.
Dec 9, 1917: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...c.jpg~original USC Digital Library -- https://digitallibrary.usc.edu/Share...4ar74m688mj85f Entrance detail: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...7.jpg~original Roof detail; it looks like what's on the cartouche is also what the statue is holding under its left arm (the thing that looks like a figure eight): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...0.jpg~original The last aerial to show the La France is the blurry 1994 Google Earth image; here is the La France in the center of the clearer 1980 Historic Aerials.com view (parking lots on both sides): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...d.jpg~original http://www.historicaerials.com/ Today the former La France site is the playground for the Camino Nuevo Charter Academy. The sidewalk in front is new, too. But there are a number of surviving Wilshire Specials on either side of Burlington, or at least there were the last time the Googlemobile went by: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...c.jpg~original GSV http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...7.jpg~original GSV |

Survivor
During my youthful explorations of Los Angeles I would occasionally stumble across a piece of the City’s history that somehow managed to survive against all odds. Case in point this tiny Victorian on Court Street, at the foot of E. Edgeware Road. In 1901 a seemingly endless forest of wooden oil derricks stood menacingly behind it. Today it stands protected and almost obscured by a “forest” of trees planted over time.
This image from the Huntington Library collection appears on page 82 of the Book “Spudding In – Recollections of Pioneer days in the California Oil Fields” by William Rintoul. Somewhere in my totally disorganized slide collection is an image of this little cottage taken in the mid 1960’s showing the trees seen in the B&W photo as fully mature and towering over the front yard. Alas, in the intervening years they have been replaced. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...pse0e5a2a6.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...ps39b468c9.jpg Sorry for the multiple edits. I still seem to be image post challenged. . . Cheers, Jack |
