As reported by Patt Morrison in the Los Angeles Times,
the year 1923 was a landmark year for the construction
of many iconic structures in Southern California.1
The famous Hollywood sign, which was first erected
as an advertisement for a housing development,
" Hollywoodland, " was erected in 1923. It would go on
to represent not only the entertainment industry, but
the city of Los Angeles itself, similar to the Eifel tower
in Paris or the Coliseum in Rome. Los Angeles would
get its own Coliseum that year, the Los Angeles
Memorial Coliseum, which would eventually serve
as the home stadium for many local teams: the Los
Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Raiders of the
National Football League, the Los Angeles Dodgers
of Major League Baseball, the University of Southern
California Trojans, and the UCLA Bruins. It would
earn international fame for hosting the 1932 and
1984 Olympic games and will again be in use for the
upcoming Olympics in 2028.
The luxurious Biltmore Hotel was built in downtown
Los Angeles and soon became the go-to place
for celebrities or dignitaries visiting Los Angeles.
Legend has the Black Dahlia drinking perhaps her
last drink in the bar, and the Beatles were alleged
to have arrived by helicopter, landing on the roof of
the hotel to avoid the throng of crazed fans awaiting
their arrival.
Another notable landmark built in 1923 was the
Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio in East Hollywood,
which began the entertainment enterprise that
would capture the imagination of people worldwide.
The year before, in 1922, the Rose Bowl was constructed
in Pasadena, " The granddaddy of them all "
when it comes to hosting the New Year's Day college
football bowl games. Only a few miles from the Rose
Bowl, a much smaller structure was being built, but
one that would loom large in orthodontic history as it
gave birth to the teaching of dentistry's first specialty.
One hundred years ago, the Edward H. Angle
College of Orthodontia was dedicated in Pasadena,
California. It would be the first building built for
the exclusive teaching of orthodontics. Seven years
earlier in 1916, Edward Angle and his wife Anna had
moved to Southern California, having closed his
school in New London, Connecticut, to concentrate
on the development of the pin and tube appliance.
Having visited Southern California in prior years,
and seeking a warmer climate because of Edward's
health, they decided to move to California where
they could be free from business and teaching
responsibilities.
But his retirement would be short lived. A young
dentist with the same name as his, James Angle,
having heard that Dr. Angle was now in Southern
California, decided to visit and pay his respects
to the revered teacher of orthodontics. He would
end up staying several weeks with the Angles,
learning everything he could from the master. The
word quickly spread that Angle was again teaching
orthodontics. As of 1920, Angle was teaching small
groups, with all instruction occurring in one of the
rooms in his home. There was no clinical work being
performed on patients.
Realizing the need for clinical instruction as well as
additional space for lectures, lab work, and administrative
activities, a group of recent students, with
the help of former students from the East Coast,
raised $6,800 and gifted it to Angle to construct a
building for the exclusive teaching of orthodontics.
Angle donated the land adjacent to his home, and
as they say, " the rest is history. "
The building was designed in the shape of a " T, "
with its end section housing the clinic, which
could receive northern light and a view of the San
