Correcting addresses: Carpenter's/Henry's was 600 block of "East" Colorado "Street". Bob's was at 900 block of same, about three blocks due west toward Brand. "West" Colorado "Blvd." is apparently only the section east of Glendale crossing the Eagle Rock District. [The alternate reference in the pre-freeway era seems to be State Highway (134?) acting as the connection between Interstate 99 and Interstate 66, Route 66 having been shifted in places at various times.]]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://martinturnbull.com/2022/06/26/carpenters-drive-in-restaurant-at-the-corner-of-glendale-blvd-and-silver-lake-blvd-glendale-california-circa-mid-to-late-1930s/#comment-401466">Al Donnelly</a>.</p> <p>Correcting addresses: Carpenter’s/Henry’s was 600 block of “East” Colorado “Street”.

So, it would seem that the tower used by the car hawkers was previously that east tower of the old Rite Spot. Glendale historical records (a pdf report) shiw John Lautner had undertaken work for Henry's remodelling in 1947 before the Googie's project.
