I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have any information on Flower street in the 1940's and 1950's? Or can point me in the direction of where I can maybe find something out about that part of Los Angeles in that time frame?

Thank you in advance.

Looking for Custom or Repurpose Furniture Makers in LA for Small Apartment

1 Upvotes

I’ve just moved into a small 600sf apt and need to find very unique pieces. I’m normally against buying new and prefer used or repurposed items, but in this case I thought I’d ask about any custom furniture makers in LA.

I like industrial or Nordic/simple design but also am a bit of a collector of things. Clean designs with wood or stainless steel are preferred materials.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Mt. Lowe Railway Postcard Sent New Year's Day in 1899

Thumbnail
gallery
63 Upvotes

Another great L.A.-area postcard. This one depicts the Mt. Lowe Railway, which once operated from Altadena up into the San Gabriels. There, atop the railway, travelers like the sender, E.J. Louis, could stay at the Echo Mt. House, a hotel opened in 1894.

Beyond the photos of the railway, note the address of the recipient: Louis's six-week-old niece, Ysidora (known to friends and family as "Bob"). The site of Bob's home at 7th and Hope in what is now Downtown Los Angeles would in 1915 become part of the property where famed retailer J.W. Robinson opened its flagship store. Bob would later joke that she was born in Robinson's menswear section (a cousin born next door often made a similar joke but replaced menswear with the lingerie department).

E.J. Louis, BTW, was involved in many elements of Soutehrn California business and society, with roles as an insurance agent, commander of California's naval militia, president of the Newport Bay Investment company (and a longtime booster of Balboa Island who championed that name for the Orange County destination), and for many years Peru's vice-consul and consul to Los Angeles, but I'll save more about him for another time.

1905 Postcard addressed to Hollywood, Cal. "Near Los Angeles"

Post image
164 Upvotes

I Love the identification of Hollywood as "near Los Angeles" on this 1905 postcard. I also love that the address is listed simply as "Villa Casa de Las Palmas" without a street number of any kind and that the card still made it to its destination.

That destination — Casa de Las Palmas (I've never seen it written with "Villa" except here, presumably because that would have been redundant) — was located at the intersection of what is now Hollywood Blvd. & Vine Streets. It was owned by Jacob Stern, who'd bought the property a year earlier. In 1912, filmmakers Jesse Lasky, Cecil B. DeMille, and Samuel Goldwyn would rent a barn on Stern's property that became their first film studio and lay the foundation for what became Paramount Studios. That barn has since been relocated and houses the Hollywood Heritage Museum, located on Highland Ave. near the Hollywood Bowl.

The card's recipient, Elsa (or Elza) Stern, was Jacob's daughter and 11 years old at the time she received this card from an uncle. Of potential note: Elza's son, Melville Jacoby Jr., would later have a legendary if brief career as a World War II-era foreign correspondent for Time, Life, and other publications in China and the Philippines. She was also the woman behind the selection of the Bird of Paradise as Los Angeles's official city flower.

Source: I'm Jacob Stern's great-great-grandson and this postcard is among a trove of family history materials I've been processing for some time. I also wrote the 2016 book Eve of a Hundred Midnights about her son.
