Bethleham Steel was located in Veron, CA. Off of Slauson. My dad worked there for 35 years as a crane operator. I remember going there and sitting across the street. You could feel the heat from the molten steel. My father made a good living for a family of 8 children. I remember that he only missed one week of work due to a back injury. We worked rotating shift during the 35 years. He had good friends that also worked there for many years.

I wouldn't expect the church to be there. There used to be several large, historic (by L.A. architectural standards), and traditionally styled wooden churches just outside Downtown. Having been built in the late 19th Century, they were interesting holdovers of a time when L.A. was so different from today, not to mention less than a 20th as big population-wise, that it is hard for us today to wrap our minds around it. Unfortunately those churches were all destroyed by fire in a series of separate events over a period of several years. I don't remember when, exactly, but this happened over several years at some point after 1980. I don't recall any malicious intent being blamed for the fires, they just happened the way fires do in old wooden buildings

May be some of them were burnt by fire.
We did find out here that OUR church and all that area was interested by the enlarging of USC.

I'm really thinking to open a new speific thread about the expanding of USC and the changing of the areas around in end 60's - beginning of 70's.
Would be nice to have in one thread witnesses, maps and pictures before that.
(sorry for my English)

Many of the people in this thread will be interested in the epic Noirish L.A. thread over at SkyscraperPage.com, a web community that focuses more typically on architecture, construction/engineering, and other related subjects. Currently it's over 900 pages long and full of marvelous photographs most of which I had never seen until reading the thread.

I give you fair warning: if you're at the office when you read this, and you need to get actual things done today, DO NOT click on the link. It will devour your day.
