Title supplied by cataloger.; Herman J. Schultheis was born in Aachen, Germany in 1900, and immigrated to the United States in the mid-1920s after obtaining a Ph.D. in mechanical and electrical engineering. He married Ethel Wisloh in 1936, and the pair moved to Los Angeles the following year. He worked in the film industry from the late 1930s to the mid-1940s, most notably on the animated features Fantasia and Pinocchio. His detailed notebook, documenting the special effects for Fantasia, is the subject of a 14-minute short-subject included on the film's DVD. In 1949, he started employment with Librascope as a patent engineer. Schultheis was an avid amateur photographer who traveled the world with his cameras. It was on one of these photographic exhibitions in 1955 that he disappeared in the jungles of Guatemala. His remains were discovered 18 months later. The digitized portion of this collection represents the images Schultheis took of Los Angeles and its surrounding communities after he relocated to the area in 1937. The Annandale Golf Club located at 1201 West Colorado in Pasadena was established in 1906. Architects Hunt & Lager designed the first clubhouse, which was sold to a military academy a decade later and demolished in 1976 for a housing development. Architect W. E. Taylor designed the second clubhouse in 1917, which was mostly destroyed by fire in 1952. Architect Donald Neptune designed the third clubhouse in a complimentary style. William Watson and Billy Bell originally designed the golf course, which was renovated in 2007 by Brian Silva. This view looking east from the top of the Eagle Rock captures a small piece of the Annandale Golf Club greens on the left, and a ring of houses surrounding the club on the right. These houses in the district called the Annandale Estates might be on Patrician Way.
