In this lovely snapshot, we see a Ford touring car with a four-digit license place parked on the west side of Vermont Ave near the intersection with Hollywood Boulevard in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. It’s circa 1914 so there are very few cars on the road and therefore not many traffic lights. The photographer was facing north toward the Hollywood Hills, where we can see a large white mansion. It was the home of William Mead, the original developer of Los Feliz, located at 4533 Cockerham Drive. Though almost unrecognizably remodeled, the bones of the house remain standing at the foothill head of Vermont above Los Feliz.
The actual house in the hills is that of William Mead, the original developer of Los Feliz, located at 4533 Cockerham Drive. Though almost unrecognizably remodeled, the bones of the house remain standing at the foothill head of Vermont above Los Feliz (in precisely the position seen in the 1914 picture).
