I believe this eagle is from outside the American Airlines office on the northeast corner of Hollywood and Vinyl (oops...I meant Vine ;))

That's a Richfield eagle, er . . .

If I remember correctly, this eagle was designed in 1937; this one was meant to hang in a window:

Your 1964 photo may have been taken outside Richfield's 645 S. Mariposa (@ Wilshire) building; compare the wall in your photo with the wall in these 1978
photos of the then-Atlantic Richfield building (the former Cord building). The Wilshire side is in the top photo, Mariposa side in bottom photo:

-thanks Flyingwedge.

Here's the American Airlines Eagle from the same time period. It's quite similar to the Richfield Eagle.

The Flats
 
The Flats is the area of Los Angeles primarily bounded by the Los Angeles River, 101 Freeway, and the 6th Street Bridge.
ER posted this nice map about a month ago (thanks ER). The population center of the area is mostly located on the east side of the river.

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...psdd6c9ce2.jpg


By the turn of the twentieth century, The Flats had already become an area where new immigrants moved to work at jobs near the river.
This area was the location of small industrial enterprises, livestock related businesses and the rail yards. These low wage workers lived
primarily in house courts, which usually included three or more habitations on one lot, with the unoccupied portion (and any utilities) shared by everyone.

Fugitive Plans in the Provisional City, Slums and Public Housing in Los Angeles by Dana Cuff

Naturally, this led to overcrowding and the city became concerned about the heath conditions in the area. The area had already been designated
as a slum, but the Los Angeles Housing Commission was still small and could only handle problems on a case-by-case basis. When the bubonic
plague crisis hit Los Angeles in 1924, it didn’t take long to get to The Flats.

In 1934, Lloyd Wright (Frank Lloyd Wright's son) and a group of architects presented their plan for a public housing project in the area to the Public
Works Administration. Although that project fell through, Lloyd Wright and his group were back in 1940 with plans for Aliso Village, an eight hundred
unit apartment complex funded by the Federal Housing Act of 1937. By October of 1940, the city had sent out Charles Shattruck and his assistant
to locate and record houses to be torn down for the project.

By 1942, Aliso Village was hailed as a success, and even became a model for integrated housing.

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...pse9968d08.jpg
lapl

After the war ended, most of the non-Hispanic residents left and Aliso Village was populated primarily with new immigrants from Mexico.
Going forward to the 1980’s, the area was now plagued with a combination of deteriorating structures and gang violence. In 1996, the
Los Angeles Housing Authority wrote off Aliso Village and made plans to replace it with the “New Urbanist” project called Pueblo del Sol.

By around 2000, Aliso Village was gone.

So, is everyone happy? No, the new project reduced the number of housing units in the area down to 377, exacerbating the city’s affordable housing shortage.

GW will know. Mystery photo for a day. Back tomorrow. (Nice little oval-windowed VW).

USC digital archive/Los Angeles Examiner Collection, 1920-1961


The flower stand was between 4016 Wilshire and what was once known as the "unicorn" on NLA--otherwise, the Streamline Moderne 4032 Wilshire (just recently discussed here)...which, ever shy, is hiding behind the flower shop (addressed 4026 Wilshire) and "Burgie" billboard. ("Burgie" was the nickname for Burgermeister beer, brewed by Hamm's.)

Below is the flower shop from a different angle and before the Wilshire Specials were replaced. 4016 Wilshire at left still stands. (See its history here; 4032's is here.) The driveway at right in the shot below looks fairly new--its crosshatching matches the concrete in the later shot of the Streamline 4032, built 1936.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zd9mfZRYBK...-04%2520PM.jpg

The building with the I.W. Harper billboard on top in the USC shot is the 1948 Wilshire Medical Center (see bottom shot here) built on the site of 4036 Wilshire (a house whose origins remain elusive, although it was one home and shop of actress/beautician/lousy plastic surgeon/countess Irehne Hobson, seen on NLA recently). By 1960, the unicorn at 4032 didn't have long to live--the next year, there was a new 4032, which still stands, as seen below. The Wilshire Medical Center next door has come and gone, but the 1961 4032 and, amazingly, 4016 remain.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-z...2520AM.bmp.jpg


The 1948 Wilshire Medical Center at 4036 has come and gone--note the house at right in this architect's rendering. It's the Woolwine house at 4040 Wilshire, whose story (in progress) is here.

I don't remember seeing this 1929 aerial before. The main street is Wilshire and the staggered intersection is S Wilton Place.

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original
USC Digital Library

At the lower left of this close-up is the extant 4016 Wilshire, just mentioned by GW. That should mean that the houses above are 4032 and 4036 Wilshire.

Another 1929 aerial taken just east of the one above shows the intersection of Wilshire and Western.

On the site where the Wiltern/Pellissier Building will be built a year or later is The Henry de Roulet Co., selling property in Pellissier Square (see GW's recent post).

On the northwest corner are the offices of another realtor, Kells & Grant. This shot is from 1927. Notice the real car on display in the box to the left.

Going back to the aerial shot, I was also intrigued by the two aircraft which are parked on the corner of Western and Ingraham. I was hoping that one of them might have made it to Bob's Air Mail Service Station at 5453 Wilshire (see BifRayRock's post #7493), but their designs look wrong.

Well, I think you're exactly right, Hoss. The street ending at Wilshire is Van Ness. Also I think you can see 4032 actually straddles a lot line on the east side, being built on a lot and a half. The coming flower shop, I believe, will occupy the remaining (eastern) half of that lot, leaving one full lot between it and 4016.

I love the names of the cross streets painted in huge letters on the street itself. From the air, you could look down and read Wilshire like a map.

On the south (left) side of Wilshire in this aerial, the houses are, from bottom, 3944, 3950, 3968, 3974, 3986, 4016, 4032, 4036, 4040. On the north side are the real estate office of Frank D. Tatum & Co. at the NE corner of Wilton with 645 S. Wilton at the NW corner, followed by two houses that have proved tough to research--right now I believe they were numbered 4005 and 4011 Wilshire. (In my notes, I have that, among the odd things about these houses are their short stays on Wilshire--they seem to have been built, or moved to, their lots after 1921 and been gone in perhaps less than 10 years. By 1935, a Pacific System Homes demo building was on the lot of 4005; 4011 was the real estate office of Ray C. Burton in 1934, at least until it disappeared...the timing of building and business comings and goings is tough to parse on the NE corner of Wilton.) At the NW corner of Van Ness is 4031 Wilshire, with 4037 next door.

The houses I've posted on my Wilshire site so far are linked to their stories.

Very interesting post on the Flats FredH.

The area was also known as the Russian Flats. (-populated by spiritual dissidents called Molokans) Eventually many of the Russians/Molokans
moved to a nearby area they called "Kara-kala". (see the map below)

Black movie stars in Los Angeles....
 
Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry (May 30, 1902 – November 19, 1985), better known by the stage name Stepin Fetchit, was an American comedian and film actor.
Perry parlayed the Fetchit persona into a successful film career, eventually becoming a millionaire, the first black actor in history to do so. He was the first black actor to receive featured screen credit in a film.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps9afc2ee5.jpg
MGM

In the movies, Stepin' Fetchit was a down-home country boy, dressed in rags and farm overalls. He epitomized the mumbling, shuffling, buck-eyed buffoon who acted like he didn't know his a-- from a hole in the ground. On the other hand, Lincoln Perry was a man of ostentatiousness, if not downright style. In real life, he was the new high-steppin', hip dressin' fella who had it all togetha while wearing custom designed and imported cashmere suits, some costing as much as $1000 a piece. Much of his wardrobe was reported to have been purchased (and retailored) directly from Rudolph Valentino's tailor after the death of the 20's movie icon in 1926. Lincoln Perry often referred to himself in such a way that clearly elevated him among the elite of Hollywood and something more than what society and the entertainment industry confined him to. Unfortunately, the free-wheeling spending and recklessness would eventually catch up with him. Doesn't it always? But for awhile, Perry and his chauffers, Fred and Phillip, were permanent fixtures throughout South Central in his late 20's Cadillac Phaeton. :notacrook::D

As a longtime fan and contributor to this thread, I'm asking for everyone's help on a project I'm undertaking.

If you're including demolished buildings, then you should include the likes of Coulters on Wilshire and the NBC Radio City studios at Sunset and Vine.

I'll add more if I remember them.

Muji Apr 28, 2014 1:22 AM

I'm no expert on the subject, but that looks like a good list, KevinW. A few additions come to mind right now. The E. Clem Wilson building at Wilshire and La Brea is certainly significant, although sadly its bottom floors have been rebuilt, and its crown covered up by that Samsung sign. Right next door, the black and gold Security First National Bank might deserve a spot too.
