Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of two houses standing along Avenue 24 (formerly North Hellman Street) where the Cooper, Ambrose and Keyes families used to live. Avenue 24 stretches across the foreground on an upward angle from right to left. On the far side of the road at center stands the Ambrose and Keyes families' former residence. It is viewed at an angle from the front and the side. A large palm tree stands in the front yard at center and partially obscures the house. To the left of the Ambrose/Keyes house stands another house. This was the former residence of the Cooper family. It is in partial view at left and it too is viewed at an angle from the front and the side. A short, wide pine stands on the front lawn at left, partially obscuring the house. To the right of the former Ambrose/Keyes house sits a vacant lot. Behind the Ambrose/Keyes house and along the left edge of the vacant lot, the backs of houses and buildings from the next street over are visible in the distance. Text from negative sleeve: 1691. Los Angeles, California. North Hellman street, East Los Angeles. Now Avenue 24. 1. 2. Two pictures of the two houses at the alley behind Doc Schloss drug store. The one next the alley occupied by Cooper and the next one by the Keys [sic] and Ambroses, It has been so long, that it may be that when Coopers moved out of the house next the alley, the Ambroses moved in, and the Keys [sic] always lived in the second house. Can't recall now. Should have spelled that name Keyes. These pictures taken in August 1936. Notice how the palm tree has grown since I took Louise Ambrose pictures. 2 films.
