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. Historically in California, sheriffs, marshals and constables each served a different trial court. Sheriffs were associated with the superior court, marshals with the municipal court, and constables with the justice court.; The 1931 Inglewood Civic Center, located at the corner of Queen and Grevillea Avenue, included the justice court, the constabulary (constable's office), the health center and the "outdoor relief division of the county charities." Architects William Allen and George Lutzi designed the 1951 replacement police station and located at 120 N. Grevillea Street as part of a new Civic Center. In 1971, the architectural firm of Charles Luckman and Associates designed the current Civic Center which includes a police station located at 1 Manchester Boulevard, at the corner of Grevillea Avenue. This Spanish style building in Inglewood is identified as the constable's office.
