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!
