1932- Wilshire and ? = More undeveloped but soon-to-be-beautified Wilshire. ;) Quote:

Gail Russell
Gail Russell made a number of movies in the 1940's and 1950's, including Angel and the Badman with John Wayne:

According to the caption, Earl C. Anthony provided this Packard 120 to lead the Flag Day parade that opened the Los Angeles baseball season in 1935. Can anyone id the location? What's with the leaning clocktower? |

NLA member MichaelRyerson has the same picture in his Flickr collection. His caption, below, identifies it as N. Spring: Flag Day Parade, Los Angeles, 1935 Brand-spanking new 1935 Packard 120 leading parade on Flag Day, opening the baseball season in Los Angeles. Parade is headed south on N. Spring Street with Fort Moore Hill, the Alhambra Apartments and a corner of the Hall of Justice in the background. Packard Company file photograph of a 1935 Packard three-quarter front left view, top folded, sign on side reads "The new Packard 120 Earle C. Anthony, Inc.," male driver with four baseball players for passengers. Inscribed on photo back: Packard one twenty, model 120, twelfth series, 8-cylinder, 110-horsepower, 120-inch wheelbase, 2/4-person convertible coupe (body type #899), from Earle C. Anthony, Inc. L.A., Packard west coast distributor, 1935 California dealer plate #2C DLR 208. |

I spy what may be Carl Jules Weyl's office...or maybe it's just his very large signature on the building. Note the lower right corner of the drawing.... Note the similarity, esp in the details, to his Hollywood Brown Derby: http://jpg1.lapl.org/spnb01/00007157.jpgLAPL http://jpg1.lapl.org/spnb01/00007144.jpgLAPL |

Now that I think of it, I realize it might be part of a parade float...? Looks like a guard tower at San Quentin.... Thanks, Hoss, for the id-- |

Weyl was listed in the '29 Directory at 6536 Sunset, clearly the Thompson building location. (Weyl had partnered with Henry Gogerty from '25 to '28.) "Carl Jules" appears at the bottom right of the Thompson building sketch. It has probably been noted several times that in addition to the above, Weyl had some responsibility for the Wilshire Brown Derby, now a Wilshire adjacent terra cotta bathing cap, below. No surprise that Weyl or Weyl's associates had something to do with designing this building. 1735 Vine St. http://jpg2.lapl.org/theater1/00014703.jpg http://jpg2.lapl.org/theater1/00014703.jpg Brimless terra cotta. Umm. https://www.laconservancy.org/sites/...?itok=S853KD82https://www.laconservancy.org/sites/...?itok=S853KD82 More examples of his work have been mentioned on this thread: 6654 Hollywood Boulevard Building; Atkin Investment Company Rental Office Building, Los Angeles; Baine Building, Hollywood; Bendix Building; Pacific National Bank Branch, Leimert Park;Palace Theatre, Hollywood; York Boulevard State Bank, Highland Park; and Yucca Vine Tower, Hollywood. |

I think HossC has it correctly pegged as Ft. Moore Hill here. Now I'm thinking that the tower belongs to a large model of Wrigley Field: http://jpg2.lapl.org/pics39/00054250.jpgLAPL https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-L...clocktower.jpg |
I think you could be right about the Wrigley Field clock tower, GW. I never realized that the clock spelled out "WRIGLEY FIELD" instead of using numbers.
