In re: S.C. Dodge, some of his Projects, and his Building the Florence Hotel at 310 E. Fifth St. (I leave out a multitude of Dodge's lawsuits and political doings).
All clippings from LA Times, dates as indicated...
12/4/1890
310 E. 5th was the Dodge family home:
10/14/1891
Here, from the 1909 Bird's Eye View of L.A., is the Dodge home, roughly at center between the College of Dentistry and The Earle:
Birdseye View, 1909
11/8/1891
7/21/1892
12/21/1895
And here is our building, replacing the family home:
10/15/1911
And so soon commenced a series of unfortunate happenings at the place (death, suicide, petty crime), of which here is the first:
12/5/1913
EDIT ADD:
While evidently still owning the Fifth St. property, S. C. Dodge (the "S" is for "Shailor") had moved to 686 S. Burlington by about 1905, where the family remained at least into the 1940s.
