Flashback Fridays: A Brief History of Chavez Ravine and Dodgers Stadium in Photos
I sure hope you guys like photo posts, because I can not get enough of the photos of Echo Park in the USC Digital Library. The collection is full of awesome old photos, and I highly suggest you check it out.
Today, we are going to take a little photographic tour of Chavez Ravine and the early years of Dodger Stadium.
"They're playing ball in Chavez Ravine, 1957"
The text that goes with this photo reads, “Some day the Los Angeles Dodgers hope to be playing ball where Mrs. Barden Scott is playing with her three children, Richmond, 5; Matthew, 3, and Valerie, 18 months. She figures that when the Dodgers build their fancy new ball park in Chavez Ravine home plate will be just about where her home is. But first the Dodgers will have to buy up her place and a few others scattered through the area. Mrs. Scott is willing to sell, but some other owners aren’t.”
"Aerial shot of Chavez Ravine and surrounding area, 1959"
An aerial view of Chavez Ravine just before construction began on Dodgers Stadium.

- “Dodgers plant first tree in Chavez Ravine, 1961”
The text that goes with this photo reads: “The Dodgers will plant the first tree in the Chavez Ravine ball-park landscaping on Thursday morning March 9 at 9:30 am. The tree will be an ash — baseball bats are made from ash. Present will be Dick Walsh, Dodger Vice President, a bat boy in a Dodger uniform with a ball bat and Mrs. Carolyn Patterson, Chairman of Plant a Tree Week.” I want to know where this tree is!
- “Dodger Stadium in Chavez Ravine at night, June 1, 1962”
A night game at Dodgers Stadium less than two months after it opened on April 10, 1962.
I really enjoy the photo posts, please keep ’em coming! The LA Public Library site (www.lapl.org) also has some great photos.

I saw this tea-shirt at a store. and I really liked the design on it and the color. the name on the shirt was Chavez Ravine. I decided to go out to the web and find out what’s up with this name; that is how I came across the history of Chavez Ravine. I am sorry to hear about what happened to the people and their town…I have empathy because my people experienced the same dilemma at one time.
Photos are really great.
Hi. I see that you don’t update your page too often. I know that
writing posts is boring and time consuming. But did you know that there is
a tool that allows you to create new posts using existing content (from article
directories or other websites from your niche)? And it does it very well.
The new posts are high quality and pass the copyscape test.
Search in google and try: miftolo’s tools
This is a nice recipe, thank you for the detailed recipe.
Helloo, I like your Blog Post. I recently wrote an article on preserving gammon. I like to make my own food for New Year!.
