Fred Thompson Court, Mary Helen Tea Room, Hollywood, CA, 1928,Lithograph. C.J. Weyl.

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Lithograph of Fred Thompson Court and Mary Helen Tea Room, Hollywood, California.   EARLY PHOTOGRAPH.   C.J. Weyl, Architect(s.)  From the American Architect, December 20, 1928.   Reverse side has excellent, detailed floor plan of this fine old, Spanish influenced California structure.

This picture is extremely hard to find.  The American Architect and Building News had a very small circulation during this time and these original lithographs only appeared in a very limited number of issues that were distributed to a few prominent architects. It measures 8.5 by 11.75 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole picture measures approximately 12 by 16 inches (with border).  Extraordinary detail in this early photographic print.  Shrink wrapped.

Plan is in VG+ condition with browning around the edges and light crinkling.

This is a highly unusual, scarce item.  See our other auctions for more original pictures from this era.
