los Angeles Lumber Yords in l9l0

There has been a big change in the lumber business in Los Angeles since 1910. Many of the larger companies had their offices in the downtown area then, 'ivhile their yards were in outlying places. In this preautomobile era. it was more convenient for customers, remembers Art Tn'ohy, r't'hose "Profile" is on Page 14.

L. W. Blinn Lumber Co. had main oflices in the Severance Bldg., 6th and Main, and a yard at 348 E. 3rd St. San Pedro Lumber Co. was across the street in the Pacific Electric Bldg. Southern California Lumber Co. (later merged with L. W. Blinn) was at 108 W. 6th. Consolidated was in the Cross Bldg., 6th and Spring. Patten & Davies were on Third Street, betrveen Main and Spring, later moving to the Van Nuys Bldg., 7th and Spring. E. K. Wood was at 4th and Spring, later moving to 6th and Spring and then 6th and Olive. Hammond Lumber Co. (at that time called the National Lumber Co.) was atz0th and Alameda.

Some of the outlying yards were at locations hard to believe today. The Pioneer Lumber Co. was on Hollyr,vood Blvd. where the Kress & Co. store now stands. Kengel had a yard at Vermont and Slauson Aves., rvhere Sears'big store is. Montgomery & Mullin rn'as at sth and San Pedro Sts. Lounsberry & Harris was at Santa Barbara and Vermont.
