gsv That's great that the 1898 Penzold home, at 825 Bartlett, seems to have all of its details intact. The pretty porch hasn't been filled in and I appreciate the appropriate screen door. That the lovely, scrolling, foliate decoration has been picked-out in pale blue is a nice touch. The concrete steps, which replaced the wooden ones, are well done. Too bad the neighborhood has lost some cohesiveness and that that charmer of a fence was discarded. The pair of fan palms is now one that's too tall and the other is but a stump. Thanks for a non-distressing 'then & now'. A good reminder that plenty of LA homes have grown old gracefully. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Bartlett intersects with North Bunker Hill Avenue. I thought I'd look to see if there were any buildings worthy of such an evocative street name. There's not much, but I did notice this amazement of a duplex at No. 728. It was built in 1910. It's got crackerjack windows, slightly "Polynesian" eaves and a telescoping gable. The various volumes are fitted together beautifully. Great view too: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1...21911%2BAM.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-x...20820%2BAM.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-6...21414%2BAM.jpg gsv (I searched for priors everyone, as usual, but, if I missed some, let me know, and I'll add them to this post.) |

Slightly different signage--the darker one appears to be electrified--but a reminder of two great posts about the Regent: http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original From HossC's 27363 also, from BRR's 20191 (love the wicker chairs): https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-w....bmp.jpg?gl=US |

Another note in this set is the picture where the white-haired man is pointing to the sign that says "fourth Subway". Over his shoulder is a sign that says "New Ammo" instead of liquid ammonia. This intrigued me so I went looking and discovered that ammonia was used as a leavening agent for baking. This powdered form was apparently easier to measure than the liquid. Some sites indicates that using this method left the baked goods with an ammonia smell....Yummy. A trade ad dated 1910 shows the "Ammo" brand of baking ammonia. This might give a date range for the picture. |
Ken's Kennel pricing
Actually, further research has shown there's a copyright by "Bennett, Kenneth Hall" in 1948 for a menu, quite possibly this one, so the date may be over a decade later than originally thought.

I came across this photograph last night on eBay. It shows the parking lot behind Glenn Wallich's Music City. (that's Hollywood & Vine in the distance) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...908/D4odCE.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/Orig-Negativ...item5d59eae55e As a reminder; here's the front of Wallich's Music City on the northwest corner of Vine and Sunset. (Capital Records offices second floor) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...901/8xBVGM.jpg http://skyscraperpage.com/forum/show...ostcount=21093 |
I found this last night as well. (I can't find it today...maybe it sold)
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...908/IkmJ9v.jpg eBay It clearly shows 111 W. 7th Street. (the address is on the canopy next to the red sandwich shop) But if you go to gsv, it looks like a different building.(I can understand if the arched windows were hidden by the Owl Rexall sign ...but that doesn't explain the missing second story rectangular windows and the row of medallions beneath them) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...540/hmVMef.jpg gsv http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/6NU41L.jpg gsv |

Thank you for ID-ing the library. I couldn't extract it from my faulty memory. The new library was built on the same site.

The big, arched windows are new. They wiped out everything you mentioned. Use the dentil trim under the first line of office windows as a reference (I dunno if it's the same dentil trim, but it's in approximately the same location). |

Re: 111 W 7th Street As tovangar2 said, it's the same building with the lower floors remodeled. The Claud Beelman/Alexander Curlett designed Board of Trade Building opened in 1929. Here it is in 1939: http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original USC Digital Library And today as the SB Main Lofts: http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original GSV |

I hope all the discards: window cap, spandrels, medallions, etc went to a good architectural salvage yard. |

'mystery' train(s)
Ok rail fans, I just came across this interesting photograph a few minutes ago on eBay. INGLEWOOD STATION (no date) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...537/h5Vw48.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/COLOR-PHOTOG...item43dd6f2841 I don't remember seeing a red painted engine before. What a beauty! I can't quite read the sign in the rear doorway of the double-decker car...it appears to say No-Level, then something written beneath it. __ Thanks for the information on 111 W. 7th Street tovanger2 and HossC. -much appreciated. |

Thanks, I was busy looking at Saloons and "Bis-Bis." I also thought the Apartment Bldg. was newer than 1915, but evidently the building permit is from 1912 and occupancy cert. from 1913. Hadn't realized that area between Sixth and Wilshire was so hilly. |
