I’m thinking east of the river and south on a line from Mt. Washington, so perhaps Boyle Heights (was the early sign smaller in dimensions, as this could throw off your estimate of distance)?
This shot is well south of the development already: https://www.martinturnbull.com/2013/06/01/building-castles-in-the-hollywoodland-hills-mid-1920s/
So, at least 2-3 times that distance.
Did a lot of comparisons. This is as far south as Barton. Going east hits Silverlake. A line of sight from there runs through the Observatory location to the sign and is a good match for the angle. So, got to be Silverlake area.
2361 Allview Terrace West, behind the hedge
2416 Hollyridge Drive
The roofs on both of there houses are still the same.
Thanks, David.
Outskirts of Eagle Rock. A retired jockey owns four of these places in Ransom out to individuals and porn productions. They’re pretty beautiful and also by gravity a bit
Why do you say Eagle Rock? See the two addresses I posted above. They are right in Hollywood. The much newer 2402 Hollyridge Drive is now between the two in the picture. 2146 Hollyridge is more recognizable, and 2361 Allview Terrace West is behind a hedge.
You should visit the neighborhood, now and compare. Then and now puzzles are so fun.
