Cockins House, c. 1894
(Possibly the former site of the Jessie Benton Freemont House, demolished.)
1101 W 28th St
Bradbeer and Farris
North University Park
The description in Wikipedia states:
"This Queen Anne Victorian house was designed by Bradbeer & Ferris and built in 1894 for William and Sarah Cockins. Its twin is located on the opposite side of 27th Street. The Cockins lived in the home until 1903. Thomas P. Newton purchased the home and resided in it until 1908. It was then converted into a duplex in 1911 and later served as a boarding house.
"It is a visual landmark on Hoover Street and is considered one of the most impressive examples of late Queen Anne style architecture in Los Angeles. It is now the site of the USC Center for Occupation and Lifestyle Redesign, which studies how everyday activites shape human health and wellbeing."
It's not clear if the house was moved to this site, or if it's the original location. A photo in the USC archives lists this site as the home of Jesse Benton Freemont. The house was moved out to the Valley in the 1930's and was movved again to Panarama City. It was then demolished in 1959.

[Tasgius Stephens 1829: 49 (IT: 29) spp]
63,650 Staphylinidæ spp classification is ongoing, with some proposing as many as 10 separate ff, but the current favored system is one of 32 sff, ∼167 tbb (some grouped into Stbb) & ∼3,200 gg; ∼400 new spp are being described each year, and some ℮℮ suggest 75% of tropical spp are as yet undescribed.

117 Rangitikei St., Palmerston North.
Hodder and Tolley began in Palmerston North in 1899 as a seed and stock business. Their first building in Rangitikei Street was burnt down and the replacement Tui Buildings were constructed in 1926. In Nov.1979 Arthur Yates and Co.took over Hodder and Tolley Ltd.
Here's a 1979 Manawatu Evening Standard B+W pic of the building in Hodder+Tolley livery.

These days, the Tui Buildings are nearly deserted. The Rangitikei St frontage is vacant; the seed warehouse out the back stands empty (sporting an Elders Pastoral logo on the rear)...only the 'ladies of the night' still ply their ancient trade upstairs in Roxanne's Bordello.

We leave Rancho La Brea just as we entered, with a view of an entrapped Columbian mammoth struggling to escape the sticky trap of an asphalt seep. Thankfully it was mostly these prehistoric Ice Age animals that became mired in the pits and not the rest of us. But the seeps remain dangerous to the unwary. A year earlier a goo-covered young female fox squirrel narrowly avoided the fate of so many mastodons and saber-toothed cats eons before, when it was rescued from the La Brea Tar Pits. She went under, managed to pop back to the surface and then was lifted out with a stick. Following transport to The California Wildlife Center near Malibu, the rescue operation involved lots of soapy water and patient interns scrubbing the squirrel's face and fur with toothbrushes. After untold buckets of water and nearly one hour later, the tar was cleaned off. The California Wildlife Center kept the squirrel for two weeks to make sure she didn't grow ill from her dunking and then released her back on the tar pit grounds, presumably the wiser.
Read a news account of it here.
See a video of the scrubbing here.
And here are some pictures of a man who had to be plucked from the tar after rescuing a dog in 1951.
The photograph is part of the International Mission Photography Archive and owned by the School of Mission and Theology, Stavanger, Norway.

Built by Santa Fe in 1893. La Grande Station (what a beautiful name for a Los Angeles train station - L.A. Grand!) This station suffered damge in the 1933 earthquake and the dome was then removed. In 1939 all passenger operations in Los Angeles (AT&SF, SP, & UP) were move to the new Los Angeles Union Station. La Grande Station was demolished in December, 1946. Like it's successor L. A. Union Station, La Grande was a favorite location for movie shoots.
This photo was taken in 1911 and is found at:

I prefer to post photos of old train stations I take myself - in their current condition, but since this one no longer exists, this is the best that can be done.
Empicoris rubromaculatus, common name of this species is thread bug. A cosmopolitan assassin (Reduviidae). Found in my kitchen, Hobart, Tasmania. ~4.7mm bodylength.
This reduviid belongs in the subfamily Emesinae, all members of which tend towards thin bodies and very elongated limbs. Thus collectively called thread-legged bugs. Their forlegs are raptorial and not used for walking.
