4th Street Cut & Hudson Avenue

Thank you HossC. I had forgotten the great cliff below the W 4th St stub. The current triple roadway arrangement of W 4th St wiped out so much.

but it sure was fun to discover the garage building is still there, in the back of a building that fronts on Hollywood Blvd.

I'd love to go in there and look around.....and maybe find some long lost vintage cars
or a dead body or two.

You'd better hurry, I think there's big changes coming to Hudson Ave. They are asking and getting the most incredible prices there. A 1911 two-story sold for over two million in 2011. The oldest home I noticed is a dear little 1905 cottage. Across from your garage is the very plain north end of the gorgeous Hillview Apartments (1917), which fronts on the Boulevard. One can see the back of the 1902 Janes house peeking out from behind it from one's googlemobile. I think the Hillview Garage must have originally been the parking for the the Hillview Apartments. The building's current parking lot used to be the pool area and gardens.
