There's certainly no mystery about today's Julius Shulman location. This is Gilmore Field in 1949. It's "Job 511: Matcham and Heitschmidt, Gilmore Field (Los Angeles, Calif.),1949".

Have we definitively discovered when Crescent Ave. was renamed Fairfax Ave.? I thought it was in the 20's, but if these are dated 1918, well circa 1918, that's not correct. |

The date has been corrected to 1924-25. FWIW, Burdell is listed in the '18 CD as an electrical contractor residing on Wilcox and per the '23CD, a salesman residing at 1619 N. La Brea.

Beaten to it by e_r :). This is the best shot I've found so far. It's dated 6/1/55.

I don't believe we've seen Peck's Pavilion on NLA.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...921/gyiagb.jpg eBay No doubt this pavilion has something to do with George H. Peck, San Pedro real estate developer. Does anyone know where in San Pedro it was located? __ Some time back, HossC discovered a huge G. H. Peck sign on a hillside in San Pedro. You can see it here: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=16673 __ |

Riviera Country Club 1928.
As a fan of Laurel and Hardy I came across the movie 'Sould married man go home?'. In the movie they are playing golf with some oil fields in the background. At firlst I thought this was filmed in a random place, but after some research it seems to be the famous Riviera Country Club. Not sure if posted before, but here are some images from that movie from 1928.

It's filmed on 3811 Bagley Ave, Culver City . http://s12.postimg.org/b068a797h/Hats_Off19271.jpg http://s12.postimg.org/am0awuzq5/hatsoff.jpg Same for 'Liberty' - 1929. Location: S Broadway / West Olimpic, Downtown and another one is at the Chamber of Commerce in Culver City. This place changed drastically also with the highway just behind it. http://s28.postimg.org/sgo3v4sal/liberty2.jpg http://s28.postimg.org/c4e25edz1/liberty.jpg Notice the Werstern Pacific Building on the right side. http://s8.postimg.org/fxvpdgbdx/1108...liberty_13.jpg http://s8.postimg.org/got0wz351/Capture.jpg |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rmosaApts1.jpg books.google.com The view below is from 1948. Assuming that this is the Formosa Apartments, they were gone by 1964, and the current apartments were in place by 1972. Hollywood Boulevard runs across the bottom of this aerial. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rmosaApts2.jpg Historic Aerials A look through the building records for 7139 Hollywood Boulevard shows several new construction permits for three and four room structures dated 21/10/12, and one for a 50 room tenement house dated 10 days later. There are three demolition permits for the site dated 1961 and 1962. I was hoping that the Formosa Apartments and Cottages would show up on an angled aerial view, but I haven't found one yet. |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ItalyMain1.jpg California State Library Despite photographic proof that the building became a branch of Bank of America, and survived until 1955, I can't find it in any of the later CDs. Here's the building permit from February 1, 1926. It shows that the Bank of Italy cost $170,000. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Online Building Records The remodel permit is dated December 1, 1937. Sadly, the plans mentioned in the description aren't inculded in the online records. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original Online Building Records Finally, here's the demolition permit from January 20, 1955. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original Online Building Records |
