You are correct. It was F. Eugene Barton. Good catch Catherine. Thanks! I’ll fix the post post haste. No dinner for the ladies of PL tonight.

Wondering if it wasn’t Frederick Eugene Barton who designed his Bekins Storage Building in Glendale. I couldn’t find a Floyd Barton architect, and since Mr. Bekins name was Floyd, thought it might be just an easy mix-up :)

There was also a swimming school next door.

Nice to have some idea where this studio was located.

]]> Comment on The House(s) That Jack Built Part IV by Mary P McConnell http://paradiseleased.wordpress.com/2011/05/18/the-houses-that-jack-built-part-iv/#comment-2004 Sat, 04 May 2013 22:33:46 +0000 http://paradiseleased.wordpress.com/?p=3145#comment-2004 Steve: Thanks for your prompt reply. The picture does resemble what she might have looked like as a young woman. Disappointed that it isn’t her. Katie and I have been in contact. I just found her a couple of years ago after searching for some time. I knew about her brother and sister but not her. We found each other because we were both researching Jeanette’s time as a young woman at the Mount de Chantal in Wheeling, WV. I was visiting with the nuns there and they told me someone else had been looking for Jeanette’s records too and I tracked Katie and Greg down from the info the nuns gave me. So fun. You did a remarkable job with this story. I knew some of it from my mother who was Jack’s niece (his sister Catherine’s daughter) but learned a lot more. Would love to talk more too. I have a number of photos of Jack when he was a teen and much younger man which I can provide to you. My last memory of him is driving me along the coast in a big convertible in the late 1950s or early 1960s. So fitting. Love your blog by the way! Mary

How great to hear from you! I’ve been meaning to get ahold of Katie and Greg for ages, but I’ve been all over the place. Hope everyone is doing great. Alas, that picture is actually not of Jeanette. I just found an old photo that I thought would represent her as there were no pictures in her youth I was able to find. It does resemble her though, it would seem. In fact, Greg and Katie thought it was her too. Amazing lady. Amazing family! Would love to talk more with you about the Donovans if you ever have time. Best, Steve
