Scope and Contents note

Street view of 9119 W Sunset Blvd showing two commercial structures and a partial view of a third. The first structure is a single story white stucco finish building that appears to house a restaurant and/or bar. It features a steeply pitched wood shingled roof. Windows swing open and are flanked by dark wooden shutters. The lower half of the building features a faux half timbered motiff that is painted on rather than real wood timbers. Visible signs include a vertical box neon sign "cocktails" and two free hangng neon script signs over the windows reading " Dinners" "Luncheons" A double row of horizontal neon bars runs along the eave of the facade. The second structure is a two storey wood framed building that may have been a converted single family residence. It features multiple gables and a square tower on one side. The first story facade appears to be uniform large rectanglar stones laid in a running bond pattern. Typical construction of this period features a faux stone pattern pressed or cut into a stucco base however it is unclear if this is the case with this building. The stone pattern extends up to the second story of the square tower. The remainder of the second story is wood siding laid vertically. The second story windows are vertically split sashes of diamond pattern leaded glass. Three street level doors with unlegible signs on two doors. The third building is only partially visible and appears to be a single story building that also may have been a single family residence. Visible is a sign "The Salkow Agency" "Minna Wallis" and the address "9119" Minna Wallis (Walinsky) b. 1893 d. 1986 was the sister of producer Hal B Wallis. She signed stars such as Clark Gable, Ava Gardner and Myrna Loy. She was Jack Warners secretery before she pursued a carreer as a talent agent. Visible automobiles include a 1947 Pontiac Torpedo Convertible, 1947 Dodge 4 door sedan, and a late 1940's Ford with a California License plate "4E 96 07". Two identical slides labeled in error " Beach Homes - Los Angeles County".
