Description: Photograph of the former residence of Ed Schefflin on Sichel Street, as viewed from the front. Sichel Street stretches across the foreground. A utility pole on the near side of the street stands along the right edge of the image. On the far side of the street, a car (partial view) is parked behind the utility pole and in front of the Schefflin residence, facing left. The former residence of Ed Schefflin stands in the near distance at center and is viewed from the front. The Victorian-style home stands 3-stories tall. Bay windows and a scalloped gable jut out from the left side of the house. The front door sits recessed behind a small porch. Above the porch a balcony stands. An alley runs alongside the left side of the home. The backsides of buildings stand on the far left side of the alley, lining the left edge of the image.
Caption: Text from negative sleeve: 1972. Los Angeles, California. Downey Avenue - now North Broadway. The old Schefflin home, taken May 25, 1941. 1. This house stood at the north east corner of Downey Avenue and Sichel street. The house has been moved around the corner facing Sichel street and back of the original lot, to allow a building to be erected on the corner. Here Ed Schefflin lived when he came to Los Angeles. Ed discovered the Tombstone mine. I used to deliver telegrams to Ed Schefflin when he was in Los Angeles, at this house, about 1890. 1 film.
