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.
