'mystery' location.



Landscape photography / lantern slide

"Olive tree, Los Angeles (trees and structure along road), undated"

Waugh, F. A. (Frank Albert), 1869-1943


When I first saw this image as a thumbnail



I thought it might be the Wayfarer Chapel under construction.

FULL SIZE

UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS, AMHERST LIBRARY

When viewed full size you can even see design elements that are reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright (and Lloyd Wright)


DETAIL

But I don't think it's the Wayfarers Chapel. For one thing, the landscape photographer [Waugh] died in 1943

The chapel was built between 1949-1951 (F.L.W. designed it a few years earlier)

Does anyone know what this 'mystery' structure might be?
___



FOR ODINTHOR

Which is the olive tree....the one on the left or the one on the right? (Waugh titled his slide 'Olive tree'..as in one tree, singular)
