Then and Now: Home of the Week, May 1938

1938_0501_duplex_2Fun item from my colleague Larry Harnisch, who writes the very cool historical crime blog The Daily Mirror for latimes.com. He found a home featured in the L.A. Times in 1938, and then found the same home today on Property Shark.

What's the crime angle? The house shown is in Leimert Park, close to the vacant lot where the body of Black Dahlia murder victim Elizabeth Short was found. Check out Larry's item here.
