Co. Morgue
Gosh, these photos may help clear up a big mystery for me. The LAPL has a bunch of photos of the coroner's office, lab, jury room, autopsy room, etc. dated 1932 that I figured had to have been taken for some occasion (like, the opening of a new coroner's facility), but couldn't find out any infomation about it. It must have been the opening of the morgue at county hospital. What about the morgue being in the basement of Hall of Justice, though - was that later in time, or something different all together? Just a few from several in the LAPL collection - I don't see that meat-hooky thing on the ceiling.

Your dinner tray at five....
Well fellow noir aficionados, this is the meat dressing room attached to the County Hospital kitchen. To the left is the cold locker and to the right are meat cutting machines. Two sinks to keep everything clean. It appears they bought the meat in full sides form. Thanks for everyone's cool and brave comments..!!!
Today, almost all hospitals have the patient meals brought to the hospital 3 times a day in catering trucks. Hospitals with full kitchens are a thing of the past. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps7c43fb41.jpg LAPL collection |

'General' has replaced 'County'. When did that happened?

Slide found on ebay. I believe that says the Snafu Coffee Shop.

"In 1965 a few years after the opening of the airport, Julius Shulman photographed Paul R. Williams in front of the unique white Theme Building at LAX (above). Dana Goodyear in her 2005 New Yorker essay, Hotel California, believes this single image may have led to the popularly held belief that Williams designed the Theme Building. Goodyear wrote, "Despite the many articles and books crediting him, Williams was not on the design team for the Theme pavilion. He was a member of the joint-venture office for the entire airport project." Alfred E. Willis, a scholar from Hampton University, presented a paper at the February 2009 College Art Association meeting supporting Goodyear's premise." - http://www.paulrwilliamsproject.org/...ransportation/ |

Orphaned at the age of four, Williams was the only African American student in his elementary school. He studied at the Los Angeles School of Art and Design and at the Los Angeles branch of the New York Beaux-Arts Institute of Design Atelier, subsequently working as a landscape architect. He went on to attend the University of Southern California, School of Engineering, designing several residential buildings while still a student there. Williams became a certified architect in 1921, and the first certified African-American architect west of the Mississippi. Long Beach Naval Station ~ Main Building [demolished] When I was stationed at the Navy Base LB, I visited this building once. At the time I didn't know it was a Williams design. The late LA TV personality Huell Howser tried in vain to save these buildings. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps33899ad0.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psead436e9.jpg Here is a video about Mr. Williams. http://youtu.be/N-EMQdkRD7o His elegant homes for movie stars were noted for their grand entryway stairs. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps2d978fc6.jpg |
