The City of 0xnard Downtown Historic Resources Survey was completed between September, 2004 and Juty, 2005 by San Buenaventura Research Associates (SBRA) under contract to URS Corp. Beginning with a list of roughty 400 assessor parcels within the survey areas [Figure 1], SBRA established the dates of construction and dates of a[teration(s) for the buiLdings within the survey area and evaluated for historical significance atl buitdings and structures which were constructed or obtained their present appearance in 1960 or earlier. These properties, totaling 253 in number, were documented and evaluated for their potential historicat significance and for [oca[, state and federal etigibitity, in accordance with accepted methodology and criteria developed by the Catifornia 0ffice of Historic Preservation and the National Park Seruice. The primary basis for significance evatuation was the Historic Context Statement devetoped for the survey area by 58RA in conjunction with this project. The detailed resulls of the evatuation process are contained in Survey Results TabLe (Appendix A) and DPR 523 forms (Appendix D) of this report.

The project staff for this report were: Judy Triem, Historian; Mitch Stone, Preservation P[anner; and Katie Wotlan, Research Associate. The conctusions contained herein represent the professional opinions of San Buenaventura Research Associates, and are based on the factual data avaitable at the time of ils preparation. the apptication of the appropriate [oca[, state and federal standards, and best professional practices.

This project is an evaluation of historical significance and etigibitity for properties located within the Cen- tral Business District of the City of Oxnard. [Figure 1] The purpose of this intensive-level survey is to assess the historic, architecturat, and cultura[ significance of buitdings and structures in the survey area; to ptace each within the area's identified historic context; and to evatuate each properlry's etigibi[ity for listing in the Nationat Register of Historic PLaces (NRHP), California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) and as a City of Oxnard landmark.

For purposes ofthis study, buildings and structures constructed from the city's founding in 1898, up to and inclusive of 1960 were considered to be potentialty significant, and were evaluated for their etigibitity in accordance with NRHP, CRHR and city criteria. It is anticipated that the resutts of this survey wil.L be util'- ized to assist the City of Oxnard in its compliance with the Catifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it retates to historic resources, and Section 106 ofthe National Historic Preservation Act as implemented through the National EnvironmentaL Poticy Act (NEPA), and for other planning purposes.

Previous Surueys

The historic residential area located immediately to the west of the city's downtown commercial core was the subject of a comprehensive historic resources survey conductedjointLy by the City of Oxnard and the County of Ventura Properlry Administration Agency in 1980, with SBRA acting as the survey coordinators. The city's downtown commercial district was not covered by this survey; therefore, this project and the prior survey overlap historicaLl.y, but not geographicatty. This project constitutes the first comprehensive investigation into potential historic resources located jn Oxnard's central business district.

However, [oca[ interest in historic properties has resulted in the identification of several historic resources in downtown Oxnard. Designated City and Ventura Coun\r Landmarks located within the survey area include: the Perkins and Petit houses and the First Church of Christ Scientist in Heritage Square, the Japanese Meth- odist Episcopal Church, the Ptaza Park Pagoda, the Bank of A. Levy, the Carnegie Library and the C Street Patm trees. The Carnegie Library is also listed on the NRHP.

Scope

The consultants were initiaLty provided by the city with a digital. database of assessor parcets located within the boundaries of the survey area, which constitutes the central core of the city's business district as it developed from the founding of the city in 1898, to the present. 0f these approximatety 400 parcels, roughly half were either vacant or utitized as parking [ots, as verified by a windshie[d survey conducted by the consuttants. These parcets were eliminated from the need for further evaluation.

In accordance with the scope of work for the project, the consuttants had intended to further reduce the number of parcels requiring detailed investigation by uti[izing date of construction data coltected by the Ventura County Assessol's Office. However, when this data proved to be unavailable for the vast majority of parcels within the project area, propert¡r-specific research was required to establish dates of construction for atl of the non-vacant parcets within the survey area. This research was conducted using the city's buitding permit street fites. The resutt of this research effort was the elimination of roughty one quarter of the re- .l{!sÏ,rJqtt( D r¡w¡L I r;lthL tí:NÅFÌl, [Ì :5fi iltp[ff 5l t[iyjt ir Ftfrår R{Lir üi

maining parcels from further consideration (due to verification of dates of construction or major alterations occurring after 1960), as wetl as a detailed construction record for a[[ parcets within the survey area. In the course of the research. this data was hand-recorded onto research forms.

Photography

A[[ properfies which. based on documentary or visuaI evidence, appeared to have been constructed in 1960 or eartier and were digital,Ly photographed from the public right-of-way. A photograph log was created recording a rotl and frame number for each photograph, the date and subject of the photograph, and view angle. This log is included within this report in Appendix C. The photographs were reduced and corrected for use in the Primary Record forms. A set of full-resolution uncompressed JPEG images was recorded on a Com- pact Disc, which is attached to this report.

Sanborn Mop Reproduction

As a result of their work on the 1980 survey project, SBRA was in possession of a set of color photographic transparencies of the 0xnard edition of the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps from the years 1.900, 1903, 1906, 79L2 and 1929. This projecfs scope of work inctuded the task ofscanning the transparencies digitaLLy and printing these valuable historical documents with stabte inks on archival quatity (acid-free) paper. Upon comptetion of this project, this set of maps wi[[ be archived in Special Coltections at the Oxnard Pubtjc Li- brary.

General o nd Site-Specífic Reseorch

In addition to the city buiLding permit files, a number of other primary and secondary sources were con- sulted in the course of preparing the Historic Context Statement contained in Section III of this report, as we[[ as the property-specific research conducted on individual properties. PrincipaL among these sources were the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, both the editions specified above, and the 1929 edition corrected to 1950, which was available on[ine (in black and white form) from the Los Angeles Pubtic Library. Another important sources of historical data were the City Directories from the 1900s through the eariy 1960s. A number of individuals with personal knowledge of 0xnard's history were interviewed overthe course of the research phase.

Rel.ying on the buitding permit street files as a primary data source for this project proved somewhat prob- lematic. The City of Oxnard apparently did not consistently require buiLding permits for even major construction until the late 1940s, although for a smatl number of properties, buiLding permits as earty as the 1930s were found. In a significant number of instances, no buitding permit information coutd be [ocated in the street files for buildings which (based on visual and other evidence). were quite clearly constructed as late as the 1970s. These issues were resotved to the greatest possible extent through the research, but ulLti- mately necessitated the use of estimated dates of construction for a number of recently-constructed buitdings and major alterations. ì,ll 'f idt!

Recordotíon and Documentotion: Preparation of DPR 523 Forms

The standardized method for recording historic properties in California in conjunction with intensive-Level survey effoÉs are the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 forms. Forms from this set are availabte for recording physical and locationat data (the Primary Record) and historical and evaluative data (the Buitding, Structure and 0bject; or BS0, Record).

In connection with this survey, both Primary and BS0 forms have been generated for at[ properties which through the research (or lacking definitive documentary evidence, visual ctues) were determined to have been constructed or have atta'ined their current appearance by 1960. For the most part, buitdings which were constructed prior to 1960 but which have been substantiatty attered since 1960 were not documented with DPR 523 forms. Rather, their date(s) of construction and date(s) of major alteration(s) were summarized in the Survey Resutts Table inctuded in this report as Appendix A. However, in a few instances, the consuttants etected to prepare DPR 523 forms for properties which were found to be inetigibLe due to age or atteration in order to provide an opportunit¡r to exptain the historical evidence for their inetigibitity in greater detai[.

Primary and Building, Structure, and Object records were prepared for approximatety 150 properties in the survey area. The DPR 523 forms were completed in accordance with the Instructions for Recordíng Historical Resources (Office of Historic Preservation, March 1995). For this survey, one set of Primary and BS0 records were produced for each assessor parcet. If more than one building existed on the parcel which warranted description and evatuation, Continuation Record forms were created and attached.

The Primary Record inctudes a brief description of the subject property, generally stating the type, p[an, number of stories, buiLding materiats, alterations, setting, condition and architectural style of the property. The form includes the resourcels attributes (property typg) as standardized in the Office of Hjstoric Preserva- tion instructions, locational ínformation (street address and APN), and the NRHP properlry type category which applies (buiLding, structure, object, site, district). The address provided on the Primary Record form is in virtuatly a[[ instances, the situs address assigned to the parcel by the Ventun County Assesso¡'s 0ffice. This address is frequentty not the common street address for the buiLding(s) located on the parcet. The street addresses, as determined during the fieLd work and research phases ofthis project, were included in the Other Locational Data field ofthe Primary Record form. In some cases, the situs address in the Ventura County Assessor date was omjtted or found to be erroneous. These addresses were corrected utitizing field data.

Also included are the name and address of the property owner (as provided by the city at the beginning of the survey process), and the name ofthe recorder and the date of recordation. The building's estimated date of construction is recorded fottowed by the letter "F" if is factual (documented by original buiLding permits or other method) or the letter "E" when it has been estimated. A properlry which is more than 50 years of age is normalþ recorded as "historic." A cotor digitat photograph, generatly of the property's main street etevation, is inctuded on the Primary Record form.

The Building, Structure, 0bject (BS0) Record, which is attached to the Primary Record as page two, evalu- ates the significance of the property and ils el.igibitity for NRHP, CRHR and [oca[ designation as an historic property. The buiLding's original and present uses, its architectural st¡rte or construstion type as we[[ as dates of significant atterations, when known, are recorded on this form. The name of the architect or designer, and/or builder are identified, when that information was found on buitding permits or coutd otherwise be determined. The form describes the property's imporLance as it relates to the historical development of Downtown Oxnard. Statements of significance on the BS0 Record reflect the historical developmental themes and time periods identified in the Historic Context Statement prepared in conjunction with this project, found in Section III of this reporl. As a general rule, a resource was determined to be significant if it is associated with a theme described in the context statement, and retains its integrity (the physicat characteristics required for it to convey its significance).

In some instances, Continuation Records were prepared for properties in the survey. This form provides an opportunity to inctude extended discussion of historical information or evaluation, as we[[ as documentation of additional or secondary buitdings on a properitrr, as we[[ as supplemental photographs.

Colífornia Historical Resource Status Codes

0n both the Primary Record and BS0, the relevant status code, which best summarizes the property's etigibitity, is noted in the form's header. The document, Coliþrnia State }ffice 0f Historic Preservotion Department 0f Parls & Recreation Technicol.Assistance Bulletin #B: I|sefs Guide To The Californía Historical Resource Status Codes & Hístoric Resources Inventory Dírectory provided the guidance for the assignment of significance codes. The overall code categories are:

1 Properties listed in the National Register (NR) or the California Register (CR) 2 Properties determined etigibte for listing in the National Register (NR) or the California Register (cR) 3 Appears etigibLe for NationaI Register (NR) or California Register (CR) through Survey Evatuation 4 Appears eLigibLe for NationaI Register (NR) or Catifornia Register (CR) through other evatuation 5 Properties Recognized as Historically Significant by Local Government 6 Not Etigibl.e for Listing or Designation as specified 7 Not Evaluated for NationaI Register (NR) or California Register (CR) or Needs Revatuation

A comptete definition of these codes, as we[[ as the suffixes which complete this system of categorization, are included in Appendíx B of this report.

A[[ properties within the survey area were evatuated by the consuttants for historic significance using NRHP, CRHR and [oca[ landmark criteria. Properties which appear to be etigible for Listing or designation either individualty or as part of a district were identified.

The NRHP Criteria for Evaluatio.n (Code of Federal Regulations, Titte 36, Part 60) are depcribed in detait in National Regìster Bulletin 15: How to AppLy the Natíonal Register Criteria for Evaluation. Properlies which meet one or more of the fotlowing criteria may be eLigibLe for listing in the NRHP: L,riwhl llCIwì{ ÛIhl¿RD Flt5iiuf,t I r mìtsil t| [t[1É5 5 [i P¡r[T F¡h¡],t firfl P$fl T

A. That are associated with evenLs that have made a significant contrìbution to the broad patterns of our history; or B. That are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or C. That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of constructìon, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishabte entìty whose com- ponents may [ack individuaL distinction; or D. That have yieLded, or may be likety to yiel.d, information important in prehistory or history.

A property which meets any of the fottowing criteria is etigibLe for listing on the California Register of His- toricaI Resources:

'I... Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of Cati- fornia's history and cutturaI heritage; 2. Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past; 3. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a \rpe, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic vatues; or 4. Has yielded, or may be Likety to yietd, information important in prehistory or history.

According to the National Register of Historic Places guidelines, the "essential physicat features" of a property must be present for it to convey its significance. Further, in order to quatifo for the NRHP, a resource must retain its integrity, or "the abitity of a property to convey its significance."

The seven aspects of integrity are: Location (the ptace where the historic property was constructed or the ptace where the historic event occurred); Design (the combination of etements that create the form, ptan, space, structure, and style of a property); Setting (the physicat environment of a historic property); Materi- ats (the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period oftime and ìn a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property); Workmanship (the physica[ evidence of the crafts of a particular cutture or people during any given period of history or prehistory); Feeling (a proper- t¡t's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time), and; Association (the direct tink between an important historic event or person and a historic properlry).

The retevant aspects of integrity depend upon the National Register criteria apptied to a properþr. For exampte, a property nominated under Criterion A (events), would be likety to convey its significance primarily through integrity of location, setting and association. A properlry nominated sole[y under Criterion C (design) woutd usualþ rely primarily upon integrity of design, materiats and workmanship. The Catifornia Regis- ter procedures include similar language with regard to integrity.

The minimum age criterion for the National Register of Historic Ptaces (NRHP) and the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) is 50 years. Properties less than 50 years otd may be eligible for listing on the

NRHP jf they can be regarded as "exceptionat," as defined by the NRHP procedures, or in terms of the CRHR, "if it can be demonstrated that sufficient time has passed to understand its historical importance" (Chapter 11, Titte 14, r4842(d)(2))

City of 1xnard Landmork Criteria

In ApriL 1991, the City of Oxnard adopted the Ventura County Cultural Heritage ordinance (551360-1374, as amended) by resolution (City of Oxnard Resotution No. 10135), ìncluding etigibil.ity criteria and procedures. substituting references in the ordinance to the Coun\r of Ventura with the City of 0xnard. Since that time, the Ventura County Cuttural Heritage Board has acted as the city's cultural heritage board. The criteria for designating propeties for listing are:

1. It exemplifies or reflects special etements of the County's social, aesthetic, engineering, architectural or natural history; 2. It is identified with persons or events which are significant in nationat, state or [oca[ history; 3. It shows evidence of habitation, activity or the culture of prehistoric man; 4. It embodjes elements of architectural design, details, materials or craftsmanship which represents a significant structuraI or architectural achievement or innovation; 5. It is representative of the work of a master builder, designer, architect or artist; 6. It js imbued with traditional or legendary [ore; 7. It has a unique location or singutar physical characteristics or is a view or vista representing an established and familiar feature associated with a neighborhood, community or the County of Ven- tura; 8. It is one of the few remaining examples in the County possessing distinguishing characteristics of an architecturaI or historicaI type or specimen.

Unlike the NRHP and CRHR, this ordinance does not provide for a minimum age for listing, or criteria for the [eve[ of integrity required for a property to be eligibte for landmark designation. However, the ordinance does provide for designating a Point of Interest, whìch specificalty inctudes altered properties which may not be etigibLe for landmark designation. A Point of Interest is defined as a propet¡r:

A. That is the site of a building, structure or object that no longer exists but was associated with historic events, important persons or embodied a distinctive character or architectural style; or B. That has historic significance, but has been attered to the extent that the integrity of the original workmanship materials or style has been substantiatty compromised; or C. That is the site of a historic event which has no distinguishable characteristics other than that a historic event occurred at that site, and the site is not of sufficient historical significance to justify the establishment of a landmark.

Although the ordinance provides no specific anaLytical standards for determining the [eve[ of integrity required for the designation of [oca[ landmarks, read together, these two seLs of designation criteria suggest that at least a general standard of design integrity shoutd be applied to the designation of landmarks.

Mapping

The resu[ts ofthe survey as wetl as the survey boundaries are iltustrated in a map inctuded in this report as Figure 1. The map was produced from a base map of downtown Oxnard, including streets, parcets and buiLd- ing footprints, provided to the consultants by the city.

Preporation of Final Products

At the conctusion of the above tasks, the consultants prepared th'is final report, which in addition to the DPR 523 forms, contains a statement of survey methods, the historic context statement for the survey area, and a bibliography. In addition, a map ofthe survey area, including evaluation codes was prepared. FinaLty, a summary of findings was prepared. il. Suwey Results

Two properties within the survey area appear to have the abitity to contribute to the formation of a NRHP or CRHR-eligibte historic district. No other NRHP or CRHR-el"igibLe historic districts were found due primarily to the considerabty attered state of many of the buildings and the extensive loss of historical setting and context due to the substantial [eve[ of demolition and new construction which has occurred within downtown 0xnard over rough[y the past thirty years. The two buiLdings at 703 and 705 S. 0xnard Boutevard appear to be etigibte as an NRHP and CRHR district for their association with Oxnard's Chinatown.

Atso, three sma[[ groups of buitdings were found to be potentiaLl.y el,igibte for listing as locaI historic districts. The A Street District, located in the 300 and 400 blocks, contains ten contributing buitdings representing the most intact remaining examptes of post-war commercial development of downtown 0xnard. Two buitdings within this district buitt prior to the war, the Post 0ffice and Wootwofth's buiLding, are key anchor to the dr'strict.

The second potential historic district is located on East Fifth Street and (former) Enterprise Street and inctudes eight buitdings in the 100 btock of East Fifth Street and Enterprise Street. These buildings represent the most intact remaining grouping of commerciai buil,dings from the pre-World War II period in Oxnard.

A LocaLty-etigible dist¡ict could also be formed from the buildings within Heritage Square. Taken as a grouping, these fourteen buitdings represent both town and ranch buildings built between the 1870s and the 1910s and are significant for the variety of [oca[ architectural styles represented, including ltalianate, Queen Anne, Cotonial Revivat, Craftsman and Carpenter Gothic. Some were designed by prominent area architects, including Atbert C. Martin and Herman Antauf. Some ofthe buitdings are associated with individuaLs in Oxnard's past, inctuding pioneer ranching families Justin Petit, Louis Pfeiler, Martin Laurent, Archie Con- netty and W.P. Snively; and David Tod Perkings, a California assembtyman. Two of the houses were among the earliest buitt in 0xnard by Abraham Fry and Anna Scarlett.

Also, extensive research into Oxnard's Chinatown identified China Al.tey as an important site in Oxnard's history, for its association with Chinese settlement in 0xnard. China ALley runs north and south between Sev- enth and Eighth streets and A Street and Oxnard Boulevard. At[ of the buitdings on the altey were demolished by the 1960s. However, because of its significance as a place of Chinese settlement as we[[ as the notorie\r it attained as a place for gambting, drugs and prostitution, it should be regarded as etigible for designation as an 0xnard Point of Interest.

Designated City and Ventura County Landmarks located within the survey area include: the Perkins and Petit houses and the First Church of Christ Scientist in Heritage Square, the Japanese Methodist Episcopal Church, Li qHÞlT[Ji{ill (ES Fl r;rtÅr¿ i; rTfl il[, 91(, RiiSí) [[ ift Stl iii i/[ i i¡ iin,a. iì. iltil Fu[t I

the Ptaza Park Pagoda, the Barik of A. Levy, the Carnegie Library and the C Street Patm trees. The Carnegie Library is also listed on the NRHP. This survey found several additional properties to be eligible for listing on the NRHP and CRHR, including the Post 0ffice, Bank of A. Levy buitding, Ptaza Park and Pagoda, and the Japanese Methodist Episcopal Church. In addition, 26 properbies were deemed potentiatly etigibLe for individual designation as City Landmarks.

The results of the survey are summarized betow and reported on a property by property basis in Appendix C.

Iil. Historic Context Statement

In order for a property to quatifo for [isting on the NRHB CRHR or for [oca[ designation, the property must be significant, which is defined as possessing the representative characteristics of some aspect of an area's history or architecture. A properly's significance should be evaluated within its historic context, which are "those patterns, themes, or trends in history by which a specific occurrence, property, or site is understood and its meaning (and ultimatety its significance) is made c[ear." (National Register Bu[Letin 15)

General Historical 0veryiew to 1898

The land on whìch the City of Oxnard is located today was originatþ part of a great a[[uvia[ delta formed mainly by the Santa Ctara River that gentLy s[opes to the Pacific 0cean. It is the largest and most extensive [eve[ surhce in Ventura County. The Mediterranean climate is ideal for growing tree and vegetabte crops.

The Chumash Indians lived atong the coast for over a thousand years. The large coastal vitLages inctuded Mugu and Hueneme with smalter viltages atong the Santa Ctara River. The indians traded with vitlages on the Channel Islands and used canoes called "tomots" to travel back and forth to the islands.

Roncho Rio de Santa Clara or Lo Colonia

The first Spanish mission in thè area was established in San Buenaventura in 7782, and by L833, the Span- ish began rewarding their sotdiers and civil servants by awarding large grants of tand. In 1837 Rancho Rio de Santa Clara or La Colonia was granted to eight sotdiers who had served with the Santa Barbara Company. Each soldier heLd an undivided interest in the 44,833 acre ranch located south of the Santa Ctara River adjacent to the Pacific 0cean.

Rafael Gonzates appears to be the on[y soldier to líve on the rancho. He nised cattte and lived in a sma[[ adobe dwel[ing located between present day Gonzales Road and the Santa Clara River. The drought of 1863- 64 resutted in widespread cattle sta¡vation, and no doubt prompted the sale of the rancho.

In 1864 Thomas Bard, land agent for Thomas Scott, purchased 32,000 of the 44,833 acre Rancho Rio de Santa Clan or La Cotonia. Thomas Scott was Acting U.5. Secretary of War, Vice-President of the Pennsytvania Raitroad, and an oilman. He purchased this property, atong with five other Ventura ranchos, in order to ex- ploit their oil potentiat.

Bard eventuatty became the largest landowner of La Cotonia, but a squabbte over land ownership ftared up over the boundaries between rancho and government-owned pubtic lands. During this period, many famities squatted on what they betieved to be pubtic tand available for homesteading. Other owners of Rancho La Colonia included Jose Lobero. In 1867 Christian Borchard, a native of Germany, purchased 1,000 acres of tand from Lobero, including the Gonzales adobe. Borchard is credited with being the first farmer on La Colo- nia (Hutchinson, Vo[. I, 1965: 166).

In 1868 Bard advertised portions of the rancho for sale in Northern California. Some of the eartiest to settte and purchase land from Bard were Michael Kauffman, John D. Patterson, Dominick McGrath, Peter Don[on, James Leonard and Mark Mclaughtin. In 1869 Bard sold parcels to Jacob Gries and James Saviers (682 acres), Peter Donton (533 acres) and Wiltiam I. Rice (1,762 acres). Many ofthese farmers had migrated from Northern Catifornia after hearing about the avaitable land for sale on La Cotonia. During the earty 1870s, Juan Camarillo sold portions of La Cotonia to Jacob and Gotfried Mauthardt and Johannes Borchard (1,320 acres) (Hutchinson, Vot. I, 1965: 168-69).

With the arrival of these first farmers, many of Irish and German descent, Bard reatized that a town needed to be established to serve their shipping and suppty needs. The town of Point Hueneme was estabtished by Bard in 1869 and a wharf was constructed in 1871, the first true wharf on the coasttine between Santa Cruz and San Pedro. Between 1871 and 1900 farmers settted on the La Colonia and shipped their products through the Hueneme Wharf. The town of Hueneme grew slowty as a merchant class evolved and the shipping trades were estabtished. Through the 1880s bartey was the predominant crop raised by farmers and shipped primarity to San Francisco. Other important products inctuded wheat, corn, beans, mustard, sheep, hogs, wool and eggs. The expanding agricultural trade led to a lighthouse being constructed at Point Hue- neme in 1874. Farmers were constantty experimenting with new crops. In addition to barley, grains and lima beans, the sugar beet made its debut as a new crop when Johannes Borchard ptanted the first sugar beets for use as livestock feed.

0n February 7,7878, a survey of Rancho La Colonia was completed, the courts approved ownerships, and the tong-disputed land tittes were resolved. However, it would not be until 1887 that the squatter claims were settted, in Thomas Bard's favor.

In 1895 Borchard and Ahert Mauthardt visited the Chino Sugar Beet Refinery in San Bernardino County with the intent of test-ptanting sugar beets as a major crop. Mauthardt returned with seed from the refinery and set out five acres on land owned by Thomas Bard in 1896. Encounged by Bard, Henry T. Oxnard and Claus Sprecktes visited Hueneme to examine the potential. for buil.ding a sugar refinery near the wharf. 0xnard wanted it centnlly located, nearer to the growers. By 1897 Mauthardt had convinced a targe number of -9- DOWNTOWN CIHNÅRO HISTCItRK R[sOURffis SURYIV FINÅI RIPORT

farmers to plant beets, resutting in the end of large scate gnin nising. In 1897, 225 tons of beets a day were shipped through Montalvo, a Ventura Beet Growers Union had been formed, and brothers Henry T. and John 0xnard had decided to buil.d a beet sugar refinery in the area, which remained relativety isotated. At the time, no raitroad or bridge connected the northern and southern banks of the Santa Clara River.

The sugar beet industry. got its start in the 1870s in Northern California with the establishment of the nation's first commercial beet sugar factory by Ebenezer Dyer, who organized the California Beet Sugar Com- pany. The industry expanded tittl.e untit 1888, when Claus Spreckels estabtished a targe sugar beet factory in Watsonvitle and recruited farmers to grow beets, educating them on beet cutture and offering prizes as in- centives. By 1896 the Watsonvitte plant was the largest sugar factory operating in the U.S. and attracted the attention of Henry and Robert Oxnard, who had been in the sugar refinery business in New York. Henry 0xnard had competed with Spreckels as a refiner of Hawaiian cane sugar in San Francisco.

Their father Thomas 0xnard, a native of Marseittes, France, had been a cane sugar grower and producer for years on his sugar ptantation in Louisiana. Robert, the first son of ten children, foltowed his father into the sugar business. Fottowing his education in Boston he entered the sugar export business in Havana in 1872 and in 1876 entered into his fathe/s sugar refinery in Brooktyn, New York. He settted in San Francisco in 1888 and became president of the American Sugar Refinery Company and the Western Sugar Refinery Com- pany.

Henry Thomas 0xnard, born in Marseiltes, France in 1860, grew up in Boston, graduating from Harvard in 1882. Henry took a more potitical rote than his brothers, becoming invotved in tobbying in Washington, D. C. The rapid development of the beet sugar industry in Catifornia was aided by the passage of the McKinley Tariff Act in 1890, which provided a two-cent-per-pound federat bounty on atl domestic sugar and the free importation of sugar machinery and beet seed. Henry Oxnard played a rote in this tegistation by appearing before the House Ways and Means Committee in 1889 to argue persuasivety for its passage.

The Oxnards buitt two refineries in Nebraska in 1890 and a refinery factory in Chino in 1891 and organized the Chino Vattey Beet Sugar Company, later renamed the American Beet Sugar Company. The Oxnards also persuaded [oca[ farmers to grow sugar beets. From 1891 to 1895, their sugar production tonnage increased tenfotd. Robert and Henry Oxnard had two other brothers invotved in the beet sugar industry as wett: Ben- jamin, who worked in the South and East in cane sugar production, and James, who assisted Henry in forming the beet sugar companies.

In 1897 the Dingtey Tariff Act helped promote domestic sugar by establishing a tariff on imported sugar, resutting in the construction of thirty-six new sugar refineries throughout the United States. With the passage of this tariff, the Oxnard Brothers began construction of their fourth factory in late 1897, the new mammoth Pacific Beet Sugar Company plant in the town of Oxnard. 0ne hundred acres of [and had been purchased for the refinery by the Oxnards from Henry Rice on land originatly owned by the Saviers famity. The factory was compteted the fottowing year. In 1899 atl. four Oxnard Brothers factories were incorporated under the American Beet Sugar Company name (0sborn, t97?\.

Economic Development (1898-1920)

Tronsportotion

Shipping construction equipment to the beet sugar refinery site required the construction of a wooden raitroad trestle and rail [ine over the Santa Ctara river, connecting with the Southern Pacific main line in Mon- talvo in Late 1897, reaching the factory in April. of 1898. Over 900 raitroad cars detivered machinery and materiats to construct the factory. In 1898 a separate wagon bridge was buitt.

The buitding of the raitroad trestle occurred during the same year as the ptatting of the Oxnard townsite, but actuatty preceded the comptetion of the construction of the American Beet Sugar Company's Oxnard factory. With the comptetion of the trestte, equipment coutd be sent by nitroad car to the factory site to aid in construction. The raitroad provided the newly estabtished community with the abitity to ship sugar from the refinery to market. The Oxnard Brothers, for whom the townsite was named, provided Southern Pacific with the right-of-way required to bring the raitroad to Oxnard.

The comptetion ofthe first section ofthe Montatvo Cutoffin 1898, connecting 0xnard to the north county and the main Southern Pacific tine, proved to be a pivotal event in the devetopment of the agricultural potentiat of the Oxnard Ptain, enabling the success of the beet sugar industry in Ventura County, and ensuring the success of the Oxnard townsite.

In addition to the Southern Pacific Raitroad, a [oca[ raitroad, the Bakersfield and Ventura Railroad, was completed between Oxnard and Port Hueneme in 1905. It was used for both passengers and freight, and served both farmers and the sugar beet factory. In 1912 the raitroad was purchased by the American Beet Sugar Company and renamed the Ventura County Raitway. This railroad remained an important tink between the farmers who estabtished "beet dumps" adjacent to the railroad for the temporary storage of beets destined for the factory. However, as farmers began to diversifo their crops, some of these sidings were removed. Pas- senger service was terminated in 1926. (Maguire: 1961)

The Ventura Count¡r Raitway ptayed an important role in transporting sugar beets from the individual ranches to the factory. However, an even targer, earlier, and more important role was ptayed initial.ty by the construction of the Southern Pacific trestle and the Montatvo Cutoff, which enabted the construction of the factory and the estabtishment of the town, and it continued to carry the American Beet Sugar Company's product to market until the factods ctosure. The railroad also allowed for the marketing of the other important agriculturat products of the Oxnard Plain, such as lima beans and bartey. Warehouses were buitt adjacent to the railroad to house the numerous grains and beans awaiting shipment to market. A large farm im- ptement industry grew up in Oxnard as a resutt ofthe prominence of agriculture in the region.

Construction of Foctory ond Industríol Area

Thomas J. Osborne, in his article on the 0xnard Brothers, states:

This new structure was reputed to be the "model sugar factory of America." The factory buitdings, offices, boiters, rotary and vertical lime kilns and storage tanks were situated on a 100-acre tract in the -lï- DCIWNTOWNÌ OXNAIùD HI5TO[qK R[$O{j[¿[{[s $[jR'{['f FIh,ÁI IR{[P{}RT

midst of rich beet soit. The average dottar return per acre of beets jumped from $48.35 in 1897 to $59.01 in 1901, while the factory registered a corresponding increase in "tons of beets produced." The factory had the capacity to process 2,000 tons of beets per day. (Osborne, 7972:7Zl)

0n the factory grounds, individuat housing was buitt for the engineer, the supervisor, the manager as we[[ as an Office/s Ctub. A two-story todging house and a nearby dining room was built by the company for the workers. In addition, 22 homes were buitt for workers on Donton Street near the factory. North of the factory grounds the company buitt 36 adobe houses for Mexican fietd workers. Other buitdings were referred to as the "Campaign" Lodging house and dining room. Sugar beets were brought to the factory for processing during the "campaign," or season, which began with the beet harvest in September, with processing occurring through January. During the campaign season, the factory operated twenty-four hours a day seven days a week with 150 to 600 employees at futl capacity. The rest of the year the factory operated with onty a sketeton crew assigned to repair and maintenance.

Oxnard Beet Sugar Factory 1898. (Oxnard Pubtic Library)

The labor force was both skitted and semi-skitted. The Oxnard factory was unionized in the late 1930s. Mi- grant taborers were usuatþ hired during the peak season, to harvest and to thin and top the beets.

Near the factory, a passenger and freight depot was built adjacent to the raitroad tracks in 1898. A targe warehouse was constructed across from the depot for the Southern Pacific Mitting Company to store beans and grain. Additionat retated buitdings included a beer depot and the Union Ice Company Ice House. By 1903 a Watnut Growe/s Warehouse was buitt near the depot as we[[ as several raitroad-related buitdings inctuding a section house, bunk house and hand car house.

Town Development

With the town of Hueneme some four-and-a-hatf mites away, and recognizing the need for housing and services for the beet sugar factory and its emptoyees, the Cotonia Improvement Company was estabtished in 1898 to lay out a town site west of the factory on lands purchased from Jack and Aranetta Hitt.

'-ru-1t\ Diu, riT¡Jìf ll 0?;ÌqÀiTìù'l.l[:1CIrßi {. [iES{ )Ìj Ltlitç Silr [if i¡i Fi i',nit ßiË Pqiåtï

The town was laid out on the grid system bounded by A Street on the easf D Street on the west; Fourth Street on the north; and Sixth Street on the south. In the center was a ptaza. The following year, ìn 1899, the boundaries were expanded to Saviers Road on the east; E Street on the wes! Third Street on the north; and Seventh Street on the south. (HeiL, 1978: 19-21)

Housing was bui[t rapidty to accommodate the growing workforce. Many buildings were moved in from Hue- neme and Saticoy to meet the shortage. New frtse-front wood and brick business buiLdings were constructed aLong Fifth Street, which became the main commercial street, from B Street to Saviers Road and fronting the ptaza on both the north and south sides. Located on a prominent corner opposite the plaza, the 0xnard Hotel was among the first buildings in the new town, opening in 1899, to house visitors and provide rooms for new sugar beet factory employees. It was a lãrge three story wood shingled buiLding with a corner tower and wrap-around porches.

By early 1900, numerous hotels and lodging houses were buitt throughout the city to house new arrivats and to provide temporary rooms for workers. They inctuded the Germania Hotel, The Cotonia, The Be[[evi[[e and the Santa Clara House, among others. Hastity erected canvas tents and cabins were put up to alteviate the acute housing shortage, with as many as five occupying a city [ot.

Within two years, the city had grown to a poputation of 1,000 residents. A water system had been constructed by the Colonia Improvement Company for fire and domestic use, and a volunteer fire department had been estabHshed. The Ventura County Power Company instatled gas pipes in 1904 and the 0xnard Light and Water Company was established in 1905. In 19!? the City of Oxnard acquìred the communiþr's gas, water and electric utilities from the Ventura County Power Company.

BuiLding materiats were supptied by the Ventura County Lumber Company and People's Lumber Company and a planing mitL built by 0.1. Newby. Entertainment and social life was provided by fraternal halts, concert hatls and saloons. Several churches were built or moved in, and a school site on Third Street was selected, where 0xnard City HaLL is located today. A second private boarding and day school was buitt by St. Joseph's Institute by 1903.

In 1903 the city incorporated, and Richard B. Haydock selected as the new president of the Board of Trus- tees. It was through his effofts as wetl as others, that a letter was sent to Andrew Carnegie requesting funds for the construction of a library. Oxnard thus became one of the 1,679 libraries Carnegie funded in the United States between 1886 and 19L9, and the only city in Ventura County, to recejve Carnegie funds. The library was compteted in 1907 on the corner of Fifth and C streets and housed the Cíty Hat[ in the basement of the new buiLding. (Haydock, 1966) The fotLowing year the plaza was offered to the City of Oxnard by the Colonia Improvement Company. The city hired Los Ange[es landscape architect WiLliam David Cook to design a beautification ptan for the park. In 1910 a pagoda was buitt in the park and functioned as a bandstand. County-wide Fourth of Juþ evenLs were hetd in Oxnard in 1910 and 1911. (Miedema, 1992)

The town of 0xnard grew rapid[y after 1898. By 1.91.2, J.R. Gabbert, Secretary of the Board of Trade, wrote, "Oxnard has a greater freight business over the Southern Pacific than atl the other cities combined between San Luis 0bispo and Los Angeles. In fact the receìpts from freight shipments at this LittLe city rank fifth

among a[L the coast shipping points." (Heit, 1978: 44) By 7972, $4 million worth of sugar beets were being processed each year, and nearly as much in [ima bean crops.

The construction of the sugar beet factory encouraged farmers to pLant sugar beets, and this crop, when rotated with tima beans and barley, remained the principal cash crop for farmers on the 0xnard Plain for ctose to fifty years. The sugar beet industry defined the town of Oxnard. which became the largest city in Ventura County in 1950, a position it has retained to the present day. The sugar beet factory was demolished in the late 1950s as the industry moved elsewhere, but growers transitioned to row crops and lemons. Agriculture remains a viabte industry on the Oxnard Ptain, with strawberries taking over as the current [ead- ing row crop.

Growth of Downtown (7920-1945)

Oxnard continued to grow rapidty during the 1920s from 4,400to 6,285 in 1930. However, the city did not sustain the rate of grov'rth it experienced during the prior two decades, or match the grovuth of Ventura or Santa Paula during the 1920s. Ventura's population nearty tripled and Santa Paula nearty doubled between 1920 and 1930.

The commerciaL district kept pace. Many previousþ vacant lots fitled in with new businesses during this time. Fifth Street remained the heart of the district, but the adjacent A and B streets also began to develop as the downtown expanded. The Roosevelt Highway was buitt in 1929, connecting the Oxnard ptain region with Los Angeles via the coast, passing through Oxnard on the city's main north-south arteriat, Saviers Road. The name ofSaviers Road was changed to 0xnard Boulevard, possibty in response to íts new role as part of the statewide highway system. The highway was designated as State Route 1 in 1,964.

During the Great Depression of the 1930s buitding construction stowed substantialty in 0xnard, as it did throughout most of the country. Pubtic ¿#- -":: ---,. works projects under Roose- -rri' ..1' : l*-,' velts New Dea[ provided work to some ìndividuats through the WPA and PWA programs. One of the most significant pubtic works projects was the Oxnard Post 0ffice constructed in 1939 on A and 4th streets. 0n the interior is a mural cre- corner of 5th and B streets, circa 1940. ated by Daniel Marcus Mende- lowitz in 1941 depicting Oxnard showing farmhouses, agriculture, the sugar beet factory and the town.

Other Depression-era pubtic works programs for Oxnard inctuded a new sewer system and the establishment of the 0xnard Airport.

In 7937 Oxnard's voters approved a $1,750,000.00 general obligation bond to establish a deep-water harbor at Port Hueneme. The 0xnard Harbor District inctuded the same boundaries as the Oxnard School District. The district attempted to obtain federal funds to heLp with the project but was turned down. The harbor dredging was compteted with a new transit shed and dockside facitities completed in 1940. It was in operation onty a short time before the harbor and surrounding lands were appropriated under wartime powers by the Chief of Naval Operations on March 9, 1.942 in order to establish the Naval Advanced Base Depot, later known as the Construction Battation Center. The base served as a staging area for the shipment of construction materials to the Pacific Theatre, and as a training center for the Seabees, buitders of bases in the Pa- cific Istands during wafime.

In 7946 the Naval Air Missi[e Test Center (now the Pacific Missite Test Center) was estabtished at Pojnt Mugu, one of the most important military fucitities in the West. The first live missile, the Loon, was launched in 7947. Atthough it faited, others that fotlowed proved successfut. The test center grew from a poputation of 612 in 7946to 4,800 mititary and civilian personnel by 1956.

The military's presence attracted many professionals jncluding engineers, scientists. mathematicians and physicisB. Private industry was stimulated and firms such as Raytheon, Bendix Aviation and others were established in Oxnard and elsewhere in the county. Coldwar-era mititary expansion continued with the estabtishment of the Oxnard Air Force Base at Camarillo in 7952, part of the West Coast Air Defense System Headquarters of the 414th Fighter Group.

Ventura County benefitted from the hiring of more than 10,000 civilian workers and 21,000 mi[itary person- net, thus providingjobs for [oca[ residents and reviving the economy following the Depression ofthe 1930s. Oxnard was to grow as a direct resutt of the military bases as its poputation more than doubled from 8,519 in 1940 lo 21,,567 by 1950. (Triem, 1985: 134-36)

City Government

With the tremendous growth occurring in Oxnard during the 1940s, the city decided that the Mayoy'City Council administration that had been in place since 1904 was outdated, and reptaced it with a city manager form of government. The first planning director was hired in 7949 and a Plannjng Commission established. A Master Plan for the city adopted in 1949 taid the foundation for change in the downtown business district. The decade ofthe 1950s woutd witness the execution ofthis new ptan, which was revised in 1952 and 1958.

Urban Renewaa (7945 to Present)

The post-war era marked a major period of transition for the downtown, reftecting not only the growth of the city as a whole, but its ambitions. Aggressive efforts were undertaken to improve the communi$s im-

age. Residential uses in the downtown district, primariLy south of Second Street and east of C Street, were

i;ir ìt.l, D0Ël5!l ifO'wb{ täN.ÅtÌÐ Þl!5Ì{.ltu{ RrÍ1r|j[iir( 5[liilrtuif ]]fi å1 1G,,0RT

steadily displaced by new commercial construction, eventually estabLishing A and B streets, aLong with Fifth Street, as the heart of the commerciaL district.

Roughty 500 buildings were demolished during the 1950s by order ofthe City of0xnard, thirty ofthem in the downtown commerciatdistrict. Many ofthese buildings were otder, ditapidated residences hastiþ constructed when the town was first established in order to provide worker housing.

Major new commercial anchors added to downtown during the 1950s included the J.C. Penney department store, located on A and Sixth streets, built in 1955 and the Generat Telephone Company office in 1952 on C Street. 0xnard Savings and Loan buitt a handsome new modern g[ass and brick oftice buitding at 560 South A Street in 1956. The Asahi Market, first established on Oxnard Boutevard in L907, moved into a new building at 660 South Oxnard Boulevard in 7957 to mark their fiftieth anniversary. Deine/s Men's Wear store, established in 1.913, opened a new store in 7957 at 534 South A Street.

After sixty years of dominating Oxnard's sþtine, in 1958, the sugar beet refinery ceased operations. The economic impacts of the ptanfs closure on emptoyment and tax base were substantial, but not devastating. Agriculture in the region had already diversified to more profitable cash crops, inctuding lemons and fresh vegetable truck farming, and the ci\t's economic base had widened substantialty during the postwar era to inctude food processing, the military, and Co[d War industries. During its finat years, the plant remained in operation mainLy by processing sugar beets transported in from other areas. The pl.ant was demolished in Juty 1959, and a new industrial park buitt on the factory site.

The 1960s and 1970s marked a period of intensive urban renewal efforts directed by the city. The city created the "need for" a Redevelopment Agency on Novembel 8, 1,960, under resolution number 2365, foltowed by the creation of the Redevelopment Agency in 7967. The first redevelopment project area in the downtown was formed in May, L968. Numerous downtown parcels were cleared of buitdings constructed during the firstthree decades ofthe city's growth and devetopment, some to be devetoped anew, but many to be redeveloped as parking tots. With the demotition ofvirtuatty aLL ofthe buiLdings on the streets bounding Ptaza Park completed by the early 1970s, the heart of downtown shifted towards the retativety newer sections of the commercial district, and the recentþ-devetoped pedestrian mall on A Street. The 7977 Sytmar Earthquake hastened this process, leading to the demolition of some of the remaining older, and now damaged, buitdings in the downtown.

The Esplanade Shopping Centeç constructed in the Wagon Wheel area in 1.969-71., marked a major shift in Oxnardt commercial center towards the northern edge of the cìty and away from downtown. The ma[[s [arge department stores hastened the demise of the smatter, famity-owned shops in downtown 0xnard. In response to the downtown's declining economic foftunes, the city converted A Street between Third and Sixth streets into a pedestrian matl in 1971. The street was ctosed to automobiles and ptantings with benches were added to provide an inviting atmosphere. Buitdings were removed to create additionaL parking for shoppers.

By the end of 7964, the three mititary facitities employed an average of 74,823 workers comprised of mititary, civilian and contract emptoyees. The city's poputation growih continued unabated, nearly doubling between 1960 and 1970, from 40,265 to 77,225.

Social History (1898-present)

As was the case throughout the West, the new town of 0xnard was peopled with immigrants, including Ger- mans, French, Irish, Mexicans, Chinese and Japanese, and also a sma[[ number of ltalians and Portuguese. This diverse population estabtished their own churches, fraternal organizations, ctubs, schoots and entertainment. Each of the dominant immignnt groups played an important rote in the grovrrth and development of Oxnard.

German ond Irish Immigrants

The first settters on the 0xnard Ptain during the late 1860s and ]-870s were German and Irish immigrants. Among the earliest were brothers GotLfried and Jacob Mauthardt, and Christian Borchard and his nephew Caspar Borchard. Many of these famities had known each other in Germany. Some had settted first in northern California, and had been successful in business or agriculture, enabting them to purchase land in Ven- tura County. It was through acquaintances and stories about the lush agricultural land for sa[e that these immigrants learned of La Colonia. They took up farming after purchasing large tracts of [and.

During this same time period, several Irish famities, including those of Dominick McGrath, Peter Don[on, James Mclaughlin and James Leonard arrived in the area. The majority of Germans and lrish were Rornan Catholics. Consequent[y, the first large substantiaLty-buitt church in the new town of Oxnard would be the Santa Clara Cathotic Church. For several years, masses were conducted in both German and English, with the German-speakers sitting on one side of the church and everyone etse on the other. In addition, a German Lutheran Church was founded. Some of the early fraternal groups and societies inctuded the Oxnard Lieder- kranz and the Sons of Herman.

French Immigrants

A number of famities immigrated to La Colonia from France, including Jews from the French province of A[- sace. Among the first were Achilte Levy, Leon Cerf, Moise L. Wotff and Samuel Weitt, who established merchandise stores in Hueneme. An agricuttural brokerage business established by Levy in 1882 eventuatly led him into the banking business. The Lehmann Brothers, Pau[, Leon and Edmond, arrived in Hueneme in the 1880s. Their firm uttimately became one of the largest retail and produce commission businesses in Ventura

County. These early brokerages helped the farmers by buying their products and shipping them to distant markets. Many of the farmers bartered agricultural products for credit that they could use to buy merchandise.

When the town of 0xnard was estabtished in 1898, many of these merchants retocated their business to the new boomtown. AchiLte Levy buiLt a bank on Fifth and B streets in the earty 1900s. In 1900 Lehman and Waterman opened a general merchandise store on Fifth dayat Best Maid Ba.kery,.7_61S._0xnard 9ne¡i¡-g Btvd. in 1928. Left Street, between A and B !o {Sht: Louise De Bo, Leonie and Roch Bordenave. (Irene Bordenave Grubãr) streets. Weilt and Murphy established a clothing store on Fifth Street. The Wolffsisters, Emilie, Marie, Leonie and Antoinette, immigrated to Oxnard from Lornine, France in 1898, and opened a combination dressmaking and restaurant business on C Street, conveting it to a bakery business in 1903.

Roch Bordenave, a native of the Pyrenees regìon of Southern France, came to 0xnard in the Late 1910s after apprenticing as a baker in San Francisco. He went to work at the Oxnard Bakery run by Desire Fauve, and eventuatly estabtished his own bakery on Oxnard Boulevard in 1928 known as Best Maid Bakery, specializing in French bread and pastries, and attracting customers from as far away as Los Angeles.

Chinese Immigrants

Between the late 1840s and late 1880s, over 370,000 Chinese emigrated to California and Hawaii. They were attracted by the discovery of gold in California and worked in the mines, buiLding the raitroads, and in or- chards, households, and finattyas merchants. As earty as'J.875, and through the 1920s, the U.S. government enacted a series of exclusionary laws against Asian immigrants, denying rights of citizenship, property ownership and finatty denying outright immigration to certain classes of citizens, especiaLty laborers. The immigrant groups to be effected most by the exctusionary laws were the Chinese in the 1880s and the Japanese in the 1920s (Chan, 1991).

Chinese immigrants, mainly single men, were among the earliest settLers in the new town of Oxnard, opening businesses and working as agricultural laborers. SeveraL relocated from Ventura, after most ofthe Chi-

nese district on Figueroa Street was abandoned and demolished by L905. By 1900, the first sma[[ Chinese setttement was established in Oxnard, on the.west side ofSaviers Road between Fifth and Sixth streets, comprised of sma[[ wooden dwetlings that served as both shops and housing, and a Chinese laundry.

By 1903 another smat[ Chinese setttement was estabtished along Saviers Road between Seventh and Eighth streets. In 1906 the Chinese qùafter expanded to include the entire block and the altey bounded by Saviers Road. A Street, and Seventh and Eighth streets. Interspersed were boarding houses forJapanese and women, a euphemism for houses of prostitution.By 7912, the Chinese appearto have abandoned the area between Fifth and Sixth streets and Oxnard's Chinatown became firmly established between Seventh and

Eighth streets, the aLLey, Saviers Road and A Street.

The earty 0xnard Chinese community was predominately mate, either singte, or with fumities in China. Most came to America to work with the intention of returning to their homes. Sucheng Chan, in his book,4sran Amerìcans: An Interpretíve History, identified seven areas of hostil.ity experienced by the Chinese: prejudice, sociaI and geographic segregation, economic discrimination, political disenfranchisement, immigration exclusion and physicatviolence. Because ofthese prevailing issues, the Chinese estabtished a comptex network of organizations to maintain social cohesion. (Chan, 1991)

Numerous Chinese social institutions were created. The Chinese Free Masons, also referred to as the Bing Kong Tong, bui[t a hatL at740 A Street around 1904. This group also served as the Chinese Benevolent Asso- ciation, which "organized the fire department, acted as a court in communit¡r disputes, and arranged funer- ats." (Jen ning s, 1.984: 25)

The Bing Kong Tong Ha[[ was moved to 743 S. 0xnard Boutevard by 1921. where it remained untit it was condemned in 7954. Prior to its demotition, an articte was written about the buiLding describing the interior of the second floor lodge. Paintings covered the wa[s with an altar at the rear, hoLding a large incense

burner and several vases dating back six[y-five years as we[[ as a collection of Chìnese newspapers and a guest book, written in Chinese, dating back to'J.925. Ha[[ Soo Hoo talked about the group in 7954: "In 7924 the Chinese Free Masons had about 75 members and the buil.ding was one of the most modern in Oxnard. We held meetings there once each month, at which time we discussed our problems and tried to help each other." (Oxnard Press Courier, 5/14/54) A new ha[[ was constructed at 753 S. 0xnard Boulevard by Hatl. Soo Hoo in 1956, where it remains today.

The Chinese residents of Oxnard also operated their own emptoyment agency, the Shang Wo Quong Company, with an office at 732 A Street in 1911.

The Chinese worked mainly as farm laborers and as cooks on [oca[ ranches. Some were merchants, owning shops catering primarity to Chinese residents, but were atso patronized by white chitdren buying candy and lichee nuts, and adults purchasing firecrackers forthe Fourth ofJu[y. Chinese [aundries were popular both inside and outside Chinatown, and restaunnts seMng Chinese cuisine spread outside Chinatown.

Located within the confines of the Chinese district during the 1910s were a [aundry, bitLiard hat[, restaurant, barber shop, grocery stores and the Chinese L Masonic haLt. The Oxnard City Business Directory for 1910-11 listed 12 Chinese and Japanese merchants located on Saviers Road and the 700 block of A Street. During this period, the a[[ey between Seventh and Eighth streets, Saviers Road and A Street became known as China Atley. The buildings fronting onto China Altey were primariLy smatt, one story woodframe residences. China Atley, possibty circa 1952. (Oxnard Pubtic Library) During this period, China Atley developed a somewhat notorious reputation. Gambting, narcotics and prostitution were commonplace. Two accounts iltustrate this side of Chinatown. Coletha Lehman reca[[s,

I had an older brother ... who took me down to (China ALtey) to show me those gambting ptaces. ... They had tittte fatse fronts on their stores. As you walked down it looked tike there was a nice little ptace to have some tea or buy a teapot ... but they were a[[ futl of dust so you guessed there wasn't much business there. So the night that my brother took me down we went into this ptace that Looked Like a LittLe tea shop, butin one corneras I looked up, there was a little square hole and there was an eye-tooking right at me. But if they knew you, then there was a sliding door that opened, and you went into a halt- way; you walked a littte ways in this hattway, and then there was another one ofthese eyes, and then another door opened until you got into where the lottery tabtes were. Then beyond that, where the big gambting was, there was a[[ kinds of gambling going on then you went down some steps to what was called the opium den, and there you saw atl there dereticts with their opium pipes. ... the ones that I saw were Orientals. In Oxnard there was a place to deal in opium; they say they did a big business between San Diego and San Francisco. (Jennings, 1.984:26)

WiLLiam P. Ctark, former U.S. Secretary of the Interior in the Reagan administration, recatts stories tol.d his father Robert Clark, County Sheriff from 7922 to 1933

During that time things ftourished in China A[tey as far as gambting and prostitution. 0f course, in those days, unfortunatety, things were let run pretty wide-open in Oxnard as far as those crimes were con- cerned. There's one occasion where Dad decided things had gone far enough, so he went to his friend, Los Angeles Sheriff Biscailuz, and had him send in some heLp. They raided China Altey, and they actuaLl.y fenced off a certain area in China AtLey and made over one hundred arrests. (Jennings, 7984: 27) UOHrrilïtWþi {.h;i{,,uiu ftiül'ltl'ilt. F;[5r¡lj,li',[q Í' ;lijiií illt¡iI HEI'illtl

Recent research into early Chinatowns in California offers a perspective on gambting from the point of view ofthe Chinese laborer. In an interview conducted in 7922 in connection with a survey on race relations, an elderly Chinese man stated:

Do you realize what our situation is here? We come over here a lot of young men, eager about [ife. and then we work most of the time. Whafs there to do when work is over? There is no family to go to. The Chinese are not welcome in the theaters. They have to live in Chinatowns . . . So, because there is no recreation, no way out, the Chinese go to the gambting houses. They are not necessari[y gambters at at[, but they want some place to go and they watch the excitement. That is why there are these gambling places. (Street, 2004: 302)

At its peak, the Chinese community in Oxnard numbered around 600 persons. In 1930 on[y one Chinese merchant was listed in China AU.ey, the Wing Chong Lung Company. By the end of the 1930s, the districfs residents were predominately Hispanic and China A[[ey persisted in name on[y. By 1951, about hatf of the smatl wooden buitdings fronting the al,tey had been removed, with the rest disappearing during the 1960s and 1970s.

A few Chinese residents remained in Oxnard. One early Chinese merchant, Hat[ Soo Hoo, who immignted to Oxnard in 7917 at the age of 14, became the owner of the Gotden Chicken Inn restaurant at 701 Oxnard Boutevard. Mama Soo Hoo's Oriental Restaurant was opened in 7948 at 730 0xnard Boutevard. The Bing Kong Tong Free Masons continues to meet at 751 S. Oxnard Boutevard.

Japanese Immigrants

Between 1880 and 19L0 around 400,000 Japanese immigrated to Hawaii and the Pacific Coast, working in the Hawaiian sugar cane fields before coming to the United States. In early 1900 a group of one thousand Japanese farm workers were brought to Oxnard by six labor contractors to harvest sugar beets. They lived in tents set up near the beet fietds, and when the beet season ended, they worked harvesting other crops. By 1903 Oxnard was an important center for the distribution of Japanese workers. San Francisco labor contractor Kusaburo Baba brought immigrants directly to Oxnard from Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan.

In 1903, both Japanese and Mexican workers struck the growers to protest low wages and poor working conditions. Baba helped to organize the strikes, calling the group, which totaled 500 Japanese and 200 Mexican workers, the Japanese-Mexican Labor Association (JMLA). According to professor Tomas Almaguer, this strike was an important event in labor history because "the JMLA was the first major agricultural work- e/s union in California comprised of different minority workers and the first to strike successfutty against capitalist interests." (Almaguer, 7984: 325)

The AFL refused to atlow Japanese membership, so the JMLA remained outside the labor federation, leading to the organization's demise a few years after the successful conclusion of the strike in April. 1903. The strong demand for stapte crops during Wortd War I provided Japanese immigrants with opportunities beyond working as hired [aborers. Some former agricuttural workers married and started famities, acquiring agricultural land of their own.

Japanese Merchant Class

Atthough they could not obtain U.S. citizenship as a consequence of discriminatory exclusionary [aws, Japa- nese residents were allowed to own property. The first Japanese businesses in Oxnard opened between 1900 and 1903. A two-story wood frame buiLding used as a Japanese boarding house and biLLiard parlor and a Japanese store were located in Chinatown, fronting the west side ofsaviers Road between Seventh and Eighth streets. By 1906, Japanese merchants had settted into a district on the east side of Saviers Road between Fifth and Seventh streets. One and two story wood frame buildings housed three bìttiard partors, a restaurant, a barbershop, fruit market, boarding houses, grocery, general merchandise store and Japanese baths. This area remained the primary location ofthe Japanese merchants throughout 0xnard's history, along with a scattering of businesses on Seventh and Sixth streets and a few stores in China A[tey.

As with the Chinese, the earliest Japanese immigrants were primarity s.ingle men, who during the first two decades ofimmigration, did not plan on remaining permanently in the United States. However, as opportunities for economic success widened, they would often send for their families or find a "picture bride" through a marriage broker, a common practice in Japan. Many women entered the country this way, untiL February 29,792'J., when exclusionary policies were expanded to deny entry visas to these women.

The first Japanese to arrive in the U.S. were referred to as -Issei, and the children were catted rVrssei. The latter were registered as citizens of both the U.S. and Japan. Despite the growing immigration restrictions. Japanese families in Oxnard gradualty began to feel more a part of the community. Many women worked alongside their husbands in their businesses. One exampte was Tamisuke Tokuyama, who operated a restaurant out of his house on Saviers Road in 1906. His wife Masa, who had come as a "picture bride," did the cooking, and her husband worked as a labor contractor before starting his own produce company. (Fu- kuyama, 1,994:12)

Japanese socia[ life centered around the Japanese Methodist EpiscopaL Mission, buitt in 1908 on A Street between Sixth and Seventh streets. Labor contractor Baba had approached the ministerJ.H. Avery ofSt. Pauls Methodist Episcopal Church upon its move to 0xnard in 1900. Baba sought more wholesome activi- ties, other than the bittiard hatts and saloons, for the young Japanese laborers. St. Pau[s contributed to the construction ofthe new church.

Like many Angto Christían leaders during the Progressive Era, Baba frowned on drinking, smoking and prostitution. He felt personalty responsibte for the young men, having recruited them himsetf from Japan. The workers were offered English [anguage classes in addition to religious ctasses. "The church became the heart of 0xnard's Japanese communiþr and a[[ the significant people in the Japanese communit¡r came together to discuss and take action on matters of common interest and concern" (Fukuyama, 1994: l).

Baba served several terms as minister and studied at Chicago's Moody BibLe Institute. He also became superintendent of the Sunday School and organized a day school for kindergarten children. The buitding was constructed in 1908 with funds from St. Pault Methodist Episcopal Church. The social role of the church was gradually reptaced by the Oxnard Japanese Association, which took over the handting of conflicts arising

-- !,t.^ Dflilllltiitli, li;ilijliiir tiili iUtÌri. [i:,:]iit{t5 5ìriìri::¡ í:iir¡i li¿i,r¡flt

between the Japanese communìty, the police, and other public officiaLs. Kamayo Asano was head of the Japanese Association for many years, which in 1928 was located at 658 Saviers Road.

In order to preserve their religious and cu[tural heritage, Oxnard Buddhist families opened a Japanese [anguage school in7927, with Sunday schootand church services hetd ìn members homes. Thirty-five Buddhist families supported the construction of a Buddhist Tempte, which was compteted in November 7929 at234 East Sixth Street. The new tempte became the center for Oxnard Bud- dhists, where the earlier c[asses and women's society were brought together. In addition the church hetd conferences and inter-church athletics with other Buddhist temples jn Southern Catifornia. The organization took on the responsibility of maintaining the Japanese Cemetery located on Pleasant Valley Road. (Fukuyarna, 1,994: 79)

By 7940 the Japanese poputation in Ventura County was 672, representing about 40 farms and 1,500 acres in agriculture. The Japanese community in 0xnard was the largest in Ventura County, and was a flourishing center when the U. S. dectared war on Japan fotLowing the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 7941.. In 1942 President Roosevelt authorized the detention of a[[ Japanese, who were rounded up and relocated to camps Many Japanese merchants in isotated areas in the West. lost their busi- Oxnard Buddhist Temple on nesses, farms and homes.

0f the sixteen Oxnard Boulevard Japanese merchants, onty two returned to Oxnard Boulevard at the end of the war.

Boulevard. The Asahi Company atso continued at its original location at 660 0xnard Boutevard. In 1950 the number ofJapanese residents numbered onty 362, about half ofthe pre-war population. Those who returned took up their pre-war occupations as farmers, gardeners, professionals and businessmen, continuing to make valuabte economic and cultural contributions to the communi\r.

When the Japanese returned to Oxnard, the Buddhist Church was converted to transitionaI housing for families and served as a home for elderty Japanese residents, some of whom remained there for over ten years. The last ofthe personatitems stored in the church were not removed until 1956. The Japanese Methodist Church at 632 South A Street became the Four Square Gospet Church during the war. Following the war about half of the origina[ 700 members returned. It remained a Japanese Methodist Church until at least 1965-

By 1990 the Japanese-American population in 0xnard had rebounded to over one thousand, including descendants of the earlier famities and new immigrants. Some became prominent in [oca[ potitics and were elected to city and state offices. Dr. Tsujio Kato, a former dentist, served as Oxnard mayor from 1.976 to 1982. Nao Takasugi, 0xnard mayor from 1982 to 1991, was etected to the California State Assembly for two terms beginningin 7992. Takasugi owned the Asahi Market, which his father had founded in 1907.

\texícan Immigrants

The first Mexican immigrants to settte in the new town of Oxnard arrived in 1900, mainly as single male farm [aborers. These laborers joined with the Japanese to form the Japanese-Mexican Farm Labor Associa- tion (JMLA) in 1903.

The 0xnard Sanborn Maps do not indicate any Mexican settlements in Oxnard untit 1912 when "cheap Mexi- can shanties" are noted on B Street between Seventh and Eight streets. However, some of the Mexican farm laborers lived in the thirty-six adobe houses built for them in L977 by the American Beet Sugar Company north of the factory.

The Mexican people had been part of California's colonial history. Fottowing the breakup of the ranchos, the Californios, forthe most part, were assimilated into the [oca[ cutture. However, those without means gener- atty took semi-skilled or farm laborjobs on the ranches owned by the Euro-Americans.

The Mexican population in 0xnard during the city's first decade was relativety smalt. However, with the Mexican Revolution of 7970, many Mexicans migrated north to Catifornia to escape the violence and to improve their economic situation. Like the Chinese and Japanese, the Mexican immigrants in early 1900s were mostly young singte men, who woutd eventuatly return to their homeland or whose immigration was cyclical, meaning they would earn money and return to their families in Mexico. Between 1910 and 1920, Mexicans became the largest immigrant group in California.

Mexican immigrants, like the Japanese and Chinese, formed support groups in the community. In 1910 the Uníon Patriotica y Beneficia Mexicana met at Maulhardfs Ha[t. For most Mexicans, the church dominated their lives. In 1.915 the Mexican Roman Catholic Church and school was estabtished on East Seventh Street

* i-it: jiliiLt 11;i; i1,1r;ir1. .,; i:¡i'1 irri¡¡ ,.tilii ii¡;rll,iÌ'{i$ Í .'ir:lfili i 1;i.,i. ¡i¡lil.i¡1¡

at the corner of Meta Street. The number of Mexican merchants in 1910 was small, mainly restaurants and grocery stores.

Restrictive immìgration laws were not as directed towards Mexicans as they were against the Japanese and Chinese. However, when jobs became scarce during the Depression, an AHen Labor Act was passed in Cati- fornia in 1931 prohibiting the hiring of atiens for public works projects. Repatriation was promoted by Los Angeles Coun\r and the Mexican Consulate, leading to thousands of Mexicans returning to Mexico by L935, resutting in the drop of the Mexican immigrant poputation in Los Angeles by one-third. It is uncertain what effect this law had on the Mexican poputation in Oxnard.

By the 1920s, the Mexican farm worker had become the predominate farm laborer in the region. Mexican families settled primarily in the area bounded by Fifth Street on the north, Wootey Road on the south, 0x- nard Boulevard on the west, and the fuctory grounds on the east, as we[[ as the "Colonia" area north of Fifth Street and east of 0xnard Boutevard. Mexjcan businesses in the area inctuded barber shops, biLljard hatls, grocery stores and hotets catering to Mexicans. During Wortd War II, when the Japanese were sent to detention camps, Mexican merchants expanded onto Oxnard Boutevard, and later, to the west of Oxnard Boutevard.

Fraternal 1rganizations and Clubs

By 1910 a large number of fraternal groups were established, meeting in lodges built t.-- atong Fifth Street. No less than six haLls had been constructed inctuding the Masonic

Auditorium Ha[[ on Fifth and C streets, the Chinese Masonic FE IH Hat[ on A Street, the Japanese ¡l ¡- YMCA Hal.l, on Saviers Road, the Knights of Columbus Hat[ on B Street, and Mauthardt's Hat[ on Fifth Street.

Within these hatts numerous fraternal groups met. Thev Masonic Hat[, C and W. Fifth streets, probabty tate 1950s. (Oxnard incLuded the F&AM O"nuj " Public Library) Lodge No. 341; the Fraternal Brotherhood 0xnard Lodge, No. t44; the Fraternal 0rder of Eagles; the IOES (Portuguese Order); the Im- proved order of Red Men; independent Order of 0ddfeU.ows; Knights of Columbus; Knights of Pythias; Modern Woodmen of America; RNA (Women's group); Royal Arch Masons; Sons of Herman; the Haymakers (SociaL Branch of IORM), the Union Patriotica y Beneficia Mexicana, and the Oxnard Liederkranz. lì¡rFlf+ti!"rnr 0:r¡¡4*'t +iiiTti[it( iisCItliR,i[s $[,flli[y F!þt.Å,l.lìËt,fiFiT

The fraternal organization that financed the construction of buildings often ptanned the meeting hatl or lodge room on the second floor with the first floor avaitabte for commercial use in order to create income. Many of the earþ fraternal groups also functioned as mutual benefit socjeties, estabtished notjust for fe[- lowship, butto provide financialsecuri\r to fumilies in event ofthe breadwinne/s death. The Modern Woodmen of America was one organization of this kind in Oxnard. With the advent of government social programs during the Depression, the mutual benefit societies faded, atthough the fraternal and service groups continued.

ALL of the sociaI hails constructed during Oxnard's first two decades were demo[ished duríng the 1960s and 1970s. The oldest remaining fraterna[ lodge in downtown Oxnard, the 8.P.0. El.ks CLub Lodge No. 7443 at807 South A Street built, was constructed in 1950.

Relí gí o u s 0 rga ni zati o n s

Churches were often among the first buìldings to be constructed in most new towns, and Oxnard was no exception. Within the first decade, eight churches had been buitt. They included the Baptist Church on Fifth Street; Christian Church at Second and D streets; First Presbyterian Church at Sixth and D streets; German Lutheran Church on C and Seventh streets; Grace Episcopal Church on C and Second streets; St. Paul's Meth- odist Episcopal Church at C and Second streets and the Santa Clara Church on E and Third streets; and the Japanese Methodist Episcopal Mission Church on A Street.

0n[y three churches remain from the first decade of development on the Oxnard townsite. They are the Santa Ctara Catholic Church, the Christian Church (moved to Heritage Square), and the Japanese Methodist Mission Church on A Street.

A number of religious societies formed as adjunct groups to the various churches, as we[[ as the St. Josephl Institute, a Catholic school. These societies were dominated by women. They provided an important opportunity for women to paticipate in the socia[ life of the community, as few if any women's ctubs existed during this period of 0xnard's development.

Entertainment

Entertainment played an imporÈant role early in the city's history. The earliest forms of entertainment were created primarily forthe working class. A large number of saloons and biltiard halls were builtin downtown 0xnard during the first decade of its existence. These businesses provided a ptace for the sugar beet factory workers and farm laborers to socialize after a [ong day at labor, and especiatþ on weekends. A count jndi- cates that 13 saloons and 74 biLtiard hatls operated in 1910, far outnumbering any other type of business in downtown.

Movie and vaudevilte theaters were also built in Oxnard. In 1910, they inctuded: the Aztec Theatre at Fifth and B streets; the Pa[m Theatre at 546 Saviers Road; and the Victory Theatre at C and Fifth streets. By the 1920s, the Oxnard Theatre at 519 S. A Street was constructed and the Boutevard Theater at 626 S. Saviers Road. Two concert halts were buitt by 1905, one at Pioneer HaL[ on B and Sixth streets and the other at the

Masonic Hal,L at Fifth and C streeLs. Between 1906 and 1916 an Opera House was built on C Street near Sixth Street. The last theater to be buitt in downtown Oxnard was the Vogue Theater at Sixth and B streets, completed in 1950. The on[y ear[y theaters remaining today are the Vogue Theatre (now converted to a retail buiLding) and the Boutevard Theatre (now, the Boutevard Teatro).

In 1906 the large Dreamtand Skating rink was opened on C Street, south of Fifth Street. Business was stow, so the following year the Petit Theatre was added, with roller skating reduced to two nights a week. The theatre lasted until 1909 when the owney'builder J.W. Hurst decided to convert the building into an Opera House, with a new sloping ftoor, seating for 1,000 peopte, a stage and orchestra pit.

Under the management of George P. Austin, the Opera House succeeded with a varie\r of entertainment from classicat, vaudeville, minstrel shows, musicals as we[[ as lecturers and [oca[ high school ptays. As projection equipment improved, movies became more popular and were also shown at the Opera House. By 1915, movies brought in most of the theatergoers. The 0pera House lasted until 1922, pnmanly because of iLs location on a main route between San Francisco and Los Angeles, and on[y 60 miles from Hottywood. That year the 0pera House was bad[y damaged by fire, betieved to be caused by an arsonist, and was demotished.

A new Carnegie Library buiLding was completed on C Street at Fifth in 1907. Richard Haydock, 0xnard's mayor and high school principal, wrote Andrew Carnegie to soHcit funds for the new tibrary. The city purchased three lots forthe building, with a portion ofthe cost donated by Henry T. 0xnard and Associates. The city also levied an annual assessment. Haydock soticited support from the Shakespeare C[ub and a Women's Civic League was formed to promote the library by opening a free public reading room in anticipa- tion of its construction.

Haydock selected Franklin P. Burnham, a Los Angeles architect specializing in library design, to draft plans for the new library. Carnegie donated $12,000 for the buil.ding, and the city paid for the remainder. Thomas Carrolt, locaI buitder, constructed the buitding. The final cost was $16,016 to buitd the ctassical Greek-styte buiLding, which was completed in May 1907.

The basement ofthe library housed the City Hat[ untiL 1949, when the city offices had outgrown the smatl space, and offices were moved to the Roosevelt Schoot. City offices woutd not have a purpose-buìtt home untiI the construction of the present city hatl. in 1969.

An addition to the east side ofthe library was completedin 7923, designed by architect Alfred Priest and buitt by Thomas Carro[[. The basement was remodeted in 7949 by R.A. Poltey, a [oca[ architect. With the poputation doubling from 20,000 in 1950 to 40,000 in 1960, a new library buiLding was needed, so in 1963 a new libnry was designed by Oxnard architects Miller and Crowe[[. In 1970 a sixty foot addition to the south end ofthe library was designed by architects Leach, Kehoe and Ticer. In7992 a new main library on A Street was buitt to replace the C Street library.

Between the tibrary and the opera house lay Plaza Park. The 0xnard Plaza was laid out by the Cotonia Im- provement Company in 1898 as part of the originaI ptan for the town. In 1908 the park was purchased by the city and the Los Angeles landscape architect WiLtiam David Cook was hired by the city to design a new

landscape ptan for the park. Cooks plans removed the eartier sidewatk pattern and trees and replaced it with a simpter sidewalk p[an, new trees and street lights. His pLan also called for a structure to be bujtt in the center of the park around the water tank that covered an artesian wet[. In addition, a plan for an irrigation system new walkways and trees was proposed. Architect Atfred Priest was hired to design a concrete pagoda with a tiLe roof and Thomas Carrotl was setected as contractor.

The first Pagoda covered the water system but did not have a bandstand. In 1910 the City of 0xnard approved funding to support an 0xnard band. In 1911 the city decided to raise the roof of the Pagoda and create an open bandstand underneath it. Atfred Priest made new drawings and contractor Carrotl carried out the plans. The pagoda was restored in the 1990s.

The building is rectilinear in plan and one story in height. The roof form is essentially flaL Erterior walls are constructed of concrete block. The primary façade is composed of two elements. As one faces the building, the left side of the wall is a solid wall of patterned concrete block, set in an alternating bond pattern to create a more Þrtured surface. To the right of this wall, a storefroil ertends across the remaining width of the buitding. A continuous band of single pane windows ertends out from the central glazed metal door. The windows and doors fill the entire height of the wall. A flat roof cantilevered canopy shelters the storefront windows. The canopy's height is slightly lower than the walls on either side, creating the effect of intersecting planes at the roofline. An additional half-story stucco structure is visible from the street. The condition and integrity of the building are good.

A new office building, measuring 50'by 76', was constructed in 1958 for owner Neal D. Heíly, and served as law offfices of Heily and Blase.

While this propefty is of sufficient age to be considered potentially eligible for the NRHP and CRHR, retains its design integrity, and is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, it does not appear to be related to, or representative of this theme to any notaÞle extent. This propefty ¡s a minimal example of a common architectural style, and is not associated with any significant indivídual in Oxnard's history. Therefore, this property does not currently appear to be potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP or CRHR, as a City Landmark, or as a contributor to the formation of local, NRHP or CBH4-eligible historic district.

A Neo-Regency style metal false front has been installed above the storefront, proÞably in the same year. The central por-tion projects stightty to create the effect of a mansard roof awning, with vertical standing seams and finiats at each corner, above the building's entrance. The remainder of the false front is decorated with horizontal standing seams. The building is in good condition but its integrity is poor.

Located on a corner parcel, the building has a rectangular plan, stucco walls, and a flat roof with short parapet walls. The street-facing elevations are dominated by the first tloor storefront that wraps the corner of the building. A band of vertical plate glass panes, divided by narrow metal mullions, covers much of the wall. The entrance, placed on a diagonal, is recessed behind the corner of the building. A structural p¡er provides support below the open corner. A frieze, with "Woolworth" signage, wraps the corner of the building above the storefront. On the second floor above the storefront, the stucco is scored with horizontal lines. A recessed band of windows further emphasizes the building's horizontality, ertending nearly the full width of each façade. Wíndows are paired , three-pane metal casements with horizontal muntins. Windows are placed at each end of the hoizontal band and the stucco belvveen the windows has decorative horizontal scoring. A second rear section of the building mimics the windows and storefront of the main porfion but the stucco has vertical scoring. The condition of the buildíng ís good.

Significance: Theme: IJrbanRenewal Area OxnardCBD Period of Significance 1945-1960 property Type: retail store i Applicable Criteria: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) This building was constructed for G.D. Hansen and leased to Diener's Men's Wear store in 1g57. The buitding was designed by Robert R. Jones and measured 40'by 100'.

Associated with an early business in Oxnard, Diener's was a father and son men's store that was started in lgl7 by Albert C. Diener and originally located at 114 W. Fifth Street. The success of the first store, led to the famity estabtishing a new larger store ¡n 1957 built and operated by the son Walter E. Diener.

While this propefty is of .sufficient age to be considered potentialty eligible for the NRHP and CBHR, retains its design integrity, and ¡s generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, it does not appear to be related to, or representative of this theme to any notable erteil. This property is a minimal example of a common architectura! style, and is not associated with any significant individual in Oxnard's history. Therefore, this property does not currenly appear to be potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP or CHHR, as a City Landmark, or as a contributor to the formation of local, NRHP or CRH4-eligible historic district. However, th¡s propefty appears to quatify for designation as a City Landmark as the location of one of the longest operating department stores in Oxnard, from 1gl3 to 1g72.

With a rectangular plan, the building stands two stories in height; however, the stories are not clearly articulated on the building's exter¡or. Erterior walls are a comþ¡nation of brick and glass. The roof is basically flat but the roofline is more complex as it forms a series of intersecting volumes and planes. A portion of the building rises slightly higher than the rest, creating the appearance of a clerestory monitor roof above the ertended eaves of the main roofline. These eaves are supported by a system of connected metal brackets. On the maín façade, Iarge plate glass windows create a partial wall of glass arranged in an irregular pattem of bicks and stucco. An entrance door is located at each end of this façade. Fenestration on the secondary street-facing elevation consr.sts of a series of narrow vertical single paned fixed windows, separated by the brick of the wall. The condition of the building is good. This building was built in two phases.The original 1955 building was expanded to the north in 1962. At that time the facade was unified with the addition of an attached metal screen supported by an open framework hung from a project¡ng soffit and the entry altered.The screen was subsequently removed with the frame and soffit still in place.The building does not reflect either its original 1955 design or its 1962 alteration.

Significance: Theme: Social History Area OmardCBD Period of Significance:. 1898-1960 Property Typei restaurant i Applicable Criteria: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) This building was constructed in 1947 by lzuto Otani as an auto repair shop, at a time when this area of town was occupied by Japanese immigrants. A Japanese Methodist Episcopal Church was constructed a few lots to the south and several Japanese-owned shops were located on Saviers Road on the other side of the block. A 20' by 29'addition was made to the building ¡n 1952, and in 1953 the Þuilding was convened ¡nto a fish market. lt has continued, with minor interior modifications, as a fish maket and restaurant until the present.

lzuto Otani was bom in 1910 to Torachi and Shina Otani. Torachi Otani opened a business on Oxnard Boulevard around 1908. lzuto Otani had operated a fruit market in downtown Oxnard and had just built a house for his family when war broke out in 1941. He and his mother, father, wife and two children were sent to a relocation camp near Casa Grande, Arizona. His mother died in the camp. After a year in the camp, he and his family were able to relocate to a dairy farm in lllinois where they remained until the war ended. After his return to Oxnard following the war, his business was gone, and like many other Jaoanese-Americans return¡ng from interment, he started over. He had a matt shopon Oxnard-Btvd. untit he opened the fish market ¡n 1952. The Otani Fish Market has been in continuous operation in this location for over 50 years. tzuto Otani died January 24, 1999, but the business is still operated by members of the Otani family.

AIso address integrity.) This church was started by Kusaburo Baba, a labor contractoÍ, in 1903 when he prevailed upon the new Methodist Episcopat minister in Oxnard to help organize a Japanese Christian Young Peoples' Society Íor the workers who had come to Oxnard to work ¡n the sugar beet fields. Baba serued several terms as m¡nister and studied at the Moody Bible tnstitute in Chicago. He also serued as superintendent of the Sunday school and organized a day school for kindergaften children. The buitding was dedicated in 1908 with funds from St. Paul's Methodist Church. The bell was added to the church steeple in 1910 and a two-story dormitory added. In 1940 the wooden church was moved to the rear of the lot, turned sideways, and a new sanctuary built in front.

The building was altered in 1960 and 1963 and in 1974-75 when an office addition was made to the rear of the buitding. In 1956 tvvo structures were demolished, perhaps the original church and dormitory building.

This church is significant as a place of worship and as a gathering place for the early Japanese community where they could meet and discuss matters of common interest and concern. During World War ll, the Four Square Gospel Church rented the building. Following the war and the return of Japanese families from interment camps, the church was reorganized and retumed to the Japanese Methodist Episcopal church, which it remained until at least 1965. lt was more recently the New Hope Baptist Church and is now the Church of Christ.

Parcel No. 202014426 P3. Description (Describe resource and its major elements. lnclude design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) This singte-family residence, now in commercial use, exhibits elements of the Craftsman style. The building has an essentially rectilinear plan, rises two stories in height, and is topped by a crossgable roof. Open eaves with exposed rafter tails and triangular knee brackets are typ¡cat oÍ the style. Exterior walls are clad with wooden clapboard; the roof is covered by wood or compos¡tion shingles. The main façade is dominated by tvvo front-facing gables, each with an ertended rafter end on one side. A short shed roof tinks the two cross gaÞles. Under the dominant (left) gable, a three-pañ window lights the interior of each floor. The window is composed of a wide center sash with wide mullions that separate it from flanking narrow double-hung sash. A splayed lintel caps the simple wood casing. The rectangular open entry is located at the center of the building, under the ertended slope of the left gable. A recessed porch with a brick balustrade and porch supporis extends from the entry across the partial width of the main façade's first floor. An identical three-part window is located on the main wall beneath the porch. A pair of double-hung sash windows is located on the second story; a fixed single pane sash rs located between the gables just below the shed roof. Windows throughout the building are likely composed of similar wood douþle-hung sash with wood casings. The condition and integrity of the building are excellent.

Wood. ln 1871 William Wood settled in Springville (a small farming community no¡th east of Oxnard that ceased to exist after 1940) and owned some 2,000 acres of farmland. Wood Road was named for the family. William Wood was also known as Pastor Wood having been ordained a Baptist minister. He preached throughout Ventura County and organized the Baptist Church in Springville in 1878.

Alonzo may have met his wife Sara in the Baptist Church where they both became deacons. lt is uncertain what year he came to Ventura County from Casper, California near Mendocino, but the couple were married in 1890 and are listed in an early directory as living in Springville in 1898. The family also owned a house on B Street in Oxnard. About 191 5 Alonzo and Sara buift a new house on their farmland on Wooley Road.

Representing both town and ranch buildings built between the 1870s and the 1910s, the Heritage Square buildings are significant for the variety of local architectural styles represented, including ltalianate, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Craftsman and Carpenter Gothic. Some were designed by prominent area architects, including Albe¡t C. Ma¡fin and Herman Anlauf. Some of the buildings are associated with individuals impoftant in Oxnard's past, including p¡oneer ranching families Justin Petit, Louis Pfeiler, Madin Laurent, Archie Connelly and W.P.

Significance: Theme: N/A Area Oxnard CBD Period of Significance: N/A Property Type= office : Applicable Criteria: (Discuss ¡mportance in lerms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) This building was an outbuilding on the Perkins Ranch and was moved to Heritage Square along with the main residence in 1990. lt was probably built in 1887, when the house was built for David Tod Perkins by Danish-born Jens Rasmussen, a locat carpenter, who had built a similar house for himself in 1883. Perkins had admired the house and asked him to build a similar house. Rasmussen also built the carriage barn that housed the horse surreys.

David Tod Perkins, member of a prosperous and prominent Ohio family, came to Hueneme in 1880 at the age of tvventy-eight. During the 1880s he directed sheep and farming operations for Thomas Bard. Perkins also served on the Board of Directors for the Union Oil Company after its incorporation in 1890 and later became president. Perkins followed Bard into politics and was elected to the State Assembly in 1904 by the largest majority ever given any candidate at the same time that Bard was being elected Ventura County's only U.S. Senator. Mrs. Perkins was a close girlhood friend of President McKnley's wife, and this contact prompted a social visit by the Perkins family and Bard to President McKinley and his wife shortly after Bard was seated as a junior Senator from California.

Parcel No. 202014425 P3. Descr¡pt¡on (Describe resource and its major elements. lnclude design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) This single-family residence, now in commercial use, is designed in the Queen Anne style. The one story house is constructed on a raised foundation. tts asymmetrical massing and complex roof plan are characteristic of the style. Erterior walls are clad primarily with horizontal wood board siding; the roof is sheathed with wood shingles. On the primary façade, the hipped roof is marked by three crossgables, a hipped ertension, an eyebrow dormer, and hipped conical roof. An open portico with a pedimented gable and spindtework frieze is located at the center of the main façade, up a half-flight of stairs with turned spindle Þallisters. A porch with spindtework balustrade and frieze extends to the Ieft from the portico. Chamfered column porch supports rise to the roof's cornice where they are embellished with eave brackets beneath the hipped roof ertension. The porch is now enclosed with divided light glazing. The crossgable peak above the porch is decorated with a sunburst design around a square window. A stout three-sided bay is located to the right of central portico. The walls of the bay are decorated with ornamental stickwork; the wall space between the timbering appears to be filled with stucco with stone aggregate. A single window fills each wall of the bay; each window has a single pane lower section and a multïlight upper element. The condition and integri| of the building are excellent.

By 1go5 the congregation stood at fifty members, which no doubt prompÍed the construction of a church buitding. The buitding was completed by 1906. About 1915 members of the First Church of Christ Screntrsf purchased the building from the Christian Church. Money for the purchase was donated by Mr. T. A. Rice, a member of the ranching commun¡ty. This building is the only wooden church remaining from the period of Oxnard's founding which retains its original architectural features. lt was designated Ventura County Landmark #70 in March 1982.

Some were designed by prominent area architects, inctuding Albeft C. Martin and Herman Anlauf. Some of the buildings are assoc¡ated with indivíduals important ln Oxnard's past, including pioneer ranching families Justin Petit, Louis Pfeiler, Martin Laurent, Archie Connelly and W.P. Snively; and David Tod Perkins, a Catifornia assemblyman. Two of the houses were among the earliest built in Oxnard by Abraham Fry and Anna Scarlett.

John Scarlett, a native of lreland, came to the Santa Clara Valley in the 1870s from Alameda County. He manied Anna Lester, an Australian, and they raised five children on their ranch. Scarlett grew corn and barley and raised horses, caftle and hogs. The house on C Street was bui[t for Anna after her husband John died in 1902. She moved from the ranch to the new house in 1903 and her daughter Elizabeth Scarlett Williams raised three children in the house.

The buitding has a complex rectilinear plan. The building is composed of both one and two-story elements. Erterior walls are ctad with a comb¡nation of brick and stucco. A flat roof is concealed Þy a short parapet walt. The primary entry to the building is tocated at the intersection of two one-stoty rectangular forms. A slightly lower form on the right is defined by a singte window opening on each watt of the corner; nearly the tull height and full width of each wall plane are covered by an enen grid of fixed windows. A ftat, cantilevered canopy extends from the wall between the top of the window and the bottom of the parapet. (A short masonry wall conceals much of this façade from view but it may not be original.) A stucco wing projects at a right angle to the windowed wall on each plane of the corner. These wings lack any fenestration other than a single, extra-tall door. A mural and the letters "B.P.O.E." have been painted on one street-facing wall plane. Behind and beside this portion of the building stand a two story adjoining brick buitding with simple pilasters. While two stor¡es in height, the erterior walls a¡ticulate a single wall plan without definition between floors.

While this property is of sufficient age to be considered potentially eligible for the NRHP and CRHR, reta¡ns its design integrity, and is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, it does nol appear to be related to, or representative of this theme to any notable extent, and ¡s not associated with any significant individual in Oxnard's history. While it is a good example of an architectural style, eligibility on this basis would require substantiat additional research on the significance the architect's work during this time period. Therefore, this property does not currently appear to be potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP or CRHB, or as a contributor to the formation of local, NRHP or CRH R-eligible historic district.

However, this property appears to qualify for designation as a City Landmark as the only remaining fraternal lodge in the downtown central business district. Fraternal lodges played an important role in the early social history of Oxnard. The lodge provided a place to relax from the daily stresses of work and to share common goals. ln some cases these organizations or groups were business oriented, in some cases their goals were charitable, and in others they brought individuals with similar ethnic backgrounds together. In 1910 these early meeting places included the Ch¡nese Masonic Hall on A Street, the Japanese YMCA Hall on Savier's Road, the Knights of Columbus Hall on B Street, the Masonic Hall on Sth Street, and Maulhardt's Hall on íth Street. Today, only the Elks Lodge remans.

Among his significant Ventura County commissions are the Ventura County Court House, St. Mary Magdelan Church in Camarillo and several Oxnard-area ranch houses. The firm remains in operation today, run by descendants of A.C. Martin.

Also address integrity.) The Vogue Theatre was built by Edmund Lehman in 1949-50 and designed by architect William Glenn Balch. By 1910, the city boasted three theaters, and during the 1920s two additional large theaters were built: the Boulevard Theatre and the Oxnard Theatre. The Vogue Theatre was built in 1949-50 in response to the huge inuease in Oxnard's population following World War ll. Today, only the Vogue Theatre and the Boulevard Theatre remain in the downtown business district. The Vogue is now a retail shopping outlet and the Boulevard Theater (later renamed the Boulevard Teatro) is presently vacant.

Architect William Glenn Balch designed a large number of drive-in theatres in communities throughout Southern California including lnglewood, Compto4 El Monte, Los Angeles, San Pedro, Van Nuys and North Hollywood. All ol these drive-ins have been demolished. Although not a drive-in, the Vogue Theatre may be one of the few remaining theatres designed by this productive movie theater designer of the post-War era.

N/A Property Type= commercialoffice Applicable Criteria: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) Built circa 1905 for John Roupe, manager of the Patterson Ranch Company, this turn-oflhe-century residence was one of several buildings on the huge 5,000 acre ranch owned by John D. Patterson southwest of Oxnard. Patterson was a wealthy New York farmer who purchased the land from Thomas Bard in 1868. He did not live on the ranch himself, but rather hired managers to operate the farm. Crops raised included barley, lima beans, grain, sugar beets, pumpkins and potatoes.

Peter Hartveld, a nat¡ve of Holland, came to Ventura County in 1904 and went to work for the Pafterson Ranch Company eventually becoming foreman. When the ranch was subdivided aþout 1917, Mr. Hartveld purchased the manager's house and the surrounding 153 acres. The Hartveld family lived in the house from 1917 until it was sold in 1987. Peter and Anna Hartveld raised six children in the house.

Representing both town and ranch buildings built between the 1870s and the 1910s, the Heritage Square buildings are significant for the variety of local architectural styles represented, including ltalianate, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Craftsman and Carpenter Gothic. Some were designed by prominent area architects, including Albert C. Martin and Herman Anlauf. Some of the buildíngs are associated with individuals important in Oxnard's past, including pioneer ranching families Justin Petit, Louis Pfeiler, Martin Laurent, Archie Connelly and W.P. Snively; and David Tod Perkins, a California assemblyman. Two of the houses were among the earliest built in Oxnard by Abraham Fry and Anna Scarleft.

The orignal buílding is significant for its connections to the Santa Clara Chapel, the first Catholic Church established south of the river in the Santa Clara valley in 1877. The brick building is believed to have served as a storage place for wine used in the church. lt was constructed adjacent to the residence of Gottfried Maulhardt, an active suppofter of the church and one of the early German settlers in the area.

Gottfried Maulhardt was one of three þrothers who came to the Colonia area in 1867 from Dutterstadt, Germany. Gottfried had learned the carpenter's trade from his father, so he may have built the winery building and his own residence. He purchased over a thousand acres of land with his brother Jacob and Johannes Borchard. The land was divided and Gottfried eventually owned 207 acres of land on which the house and winery are located. Upon his death ¡n 1898, the land went to his wife Sophie and eventually to his nephews and nieces. The family had no children of their own except for an adopted daughter Anna. Gottfried's strong ties to the Cathol¡c Church are apparent in his will where he left a large sum of money to be given to the Catholic Church to build a schooL

Descript¡on (Describe resource and its major elements. lnclude design, materials, condition, aherations, size, setting, and boundaries) This single-family residence is an excellent example of the Queen Anne style. The two-story buildíng is set on a raised foundation of rough-faced stone þlocks set in a random ashlar pattern. The building's asymmetrical massing is reflected in its complex roof plan that is composed of a primary hipped roof with a cross gable and pyramidal turret, all with boxed eaves. The exterior walls are clad with a combination of wooden clapboard and shingles; the roof is covered with wooden shingles. The main façade is essentially tuvo bays wide. As one faces the building, the left bay projects slightly from the main wall and is topped by a cross gable. The gable peak is decorated with wood shingle and spindle work that is characteristic of the style. Three one-over-one double hung windows are evenly placed along the wall of the first and second floors, wrapping slightly around the walls curved edges. Set in simple wooden casings, these windows define the height of each floor. Wooden shingles fill the wall space between the top of the first story windows and the bottom of the second story windows.

He leased land for farming until he was aþle to purchase his own, eventually acquiring over 1,200 acres throughout Ventura County. ln 1884 he married Frances Kaufman and they raised seven children. By 1896 Justin Petit's success atfarming enabled him to build a magnificent Queen Anne style residence.

The 1890s was an exuberant period - the height of the Victorian Era, and those with means were able to afford the lavishness that the Queen Anne style offered. Justin Petit asked Herman Anlauf, architect with Franklin Ward of the Camarillo and Faulkner residences, to design a house for his growing family. Anlauf responded with an equally picturesque residence that Íeatures a profusion of rich wood details that cover the surÍace of the house.

The building was designated Ventura County Landmark #100 in April 1986.

The walls flare slightly at the base of the second story; a wide wood beltcourse at the top of the first story encircles the entire building. A half-flight of steps rises to an open porch in the projecting bay. The porch has a solid balustrade and four Doric column porch support. A short open wooden railing is installed atop the balustrade but does not appear original. Windows throughout the building appear to be wooden fixed and douÞle-hung sash with simple wood casings, most flanked by decorative, vertical board shutters. On the main façade, a single window unit fills each bay. In the projecting bay, above the porch, a large single pane fixed sash window is topped by a transom with decorative muntins. In the other bay, a three-paft window fills nearly the full-width of the bay on both the first and second story. The window is composed of a central fixed sash and decorative transom with narrow flanking double-hung sash separated by thick mullions. The condition and integrity of the Þuilding are excellent.

In 1918 the family moved to Los Angeles where Stewaft opened his attorney's office in the Fírst National Bank Building. ln 1926 the house was occupied by Hugh Gritten, a salesman, and his wife Ora.

While this propedy is of sufficient age to be considered potentially eligible for the NRHP and CRHR, reta¡ns its design integrity, and is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, it does not appear to be related to, or representative of this theme to any notable ertenL This property is a minimal example of a common architectural style, and is not associated with any significant individual in Oxnard's h¡story. Therefore, this property does not currently appear to be potentially eligible Íor individual listing in the NRHP or CRHR, or as a contributor to the formation of local, NRHP or C BHR-elig ible historic district.

However, this property appears to qualify for designation as a City Landmark as the oldest residence remaining in the survey area, one of four similar residences built on adjacent parcels, probably in 1899, shortly after the city was established in 1898. This block was entirely residential until the 1950s when the area transitioned to commercial uses, with the single exception of this residence.

Exterior walls are clad with stucco. The building is topped by a low-pitch cross-gable roof. A pedimented, temple-front porch, supported by six fluted Doric columns, projects from each elevation. A wide staircase climbs to the porch height on the long façade. The decorative course of paterae wraps the building at the cornice line. Elaborate filigree ornaments the pediment. Acanthus finials stand atop each corner of the roof and atop the gable peaks. The main wall, behind the porch, is divided into narrow Þays Þy flat pilasters with unadorned bases and capitals. In each bay, a pair of vertical single-pane windows fiils the first story and a horizontal single pane window fills the second story- Some paired windows are recessed in the raised foundation. The condtion of the building is good.

Also address integrity.) The Carnegie Library building was completed on C Street at Fifth in 1907. Richard Haydock, Oxnard's mayor and high school principal, wrote Andrew Carnegie to solicit funds for the new library. The city purchased three lots for the building, with a portion of the cost donated by Henry T. Oxnard and Associates. The city also levied an annual assessment. Haydock solicited support from the Shakespeare Çlub and a Women's Civic League was formed to promote the library by opening a free public reading room in ant¡c¡pation of its construction.

Haydock selected Franklin P. Burnham, a Los Angeles architect specializing in library design, to draft plans for the new library. Carnegie donated $12,000 for the building, and the city paid for the remainder. Thomas Carroll, local builder, constructed the building. The final cost was $16,016 to build the Neoclassical Greek Revival style building, whích was completed in May 1907.

The þasement of the library housed the City Hall until 1949, when the city offices had outgrown the small space, and were moved to the former Boosevelt School buildings. City offices would not have a purpose-built home until the construction of the present city hall in 1969.

Significance An addition to the east side of the library was completed in 1923, designed by Los Angeles architect Alfred Priest and built by Thomas Carroll. With the relocation of the city oftices in 1949, the library basement was remodeled by local architect R.A. Polley.

With the populatíon of the city doubling between 1950 and 1960, a new liÞrary building was needed. In 1963 a new building was designed by Oxnard architects Miller and Crowell, and the old library occupied by the Oxnard Visitor's and Convention Bureau and Chamber of Commerce. The Carnegie Library building was restored and structurally improved and rededicated as the Carnegie Art Museum in 1980. The building was listed on the NRHP in 1971.

Birnbaum. Other occupants over the years were Herby the Hot Dog King (1956); Bodie's Drive-lnn (1963); Greta's Drive-lnn (1965); and The Munch Box (1980). The building was substant¡ally altered, probably in 2003, with the addition of a parapet and removal of a low pitched metal roof and alterations to the windows.

This property is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, but it lacks sufficient integrity of design, setting, workmanship and materials to be regarded as potent¡ally eligible for individual listing in the NRHP or CRHR or as a City Landmark, or as a contributor to the formation of local, NRHP or CRH4-eligiblq historic district.

The pagoda is Orientalist in style, a common idiom of the late nineteenth century. The building is hexagonal or octagonal in plan and stands upon a solid masonry pedestal. Two tiers rise above the Þase. The first tier is an open space, supporTed by a series of posts or columns. A low, open rail balustrade encircles the þase of the first tier; brackets support the pier as it extends out from the pedestal. A þrtured copper metal roof, also divided into a hexagonal or octagonal form, canopies the colonnaded open floor. As the roof nears its peak, it is broken by a short wall with clerestory windows. The clerestory window and the second hexagonal roof above it form the second tier of the building. Exposed rafter tails ornament the lower edge of the roofline; a finíal decorates the top of the roof. The condition of the building appears to be excellent.

Also address integrity.) The Ptaza was laid out by the Colonia lmprovement Company in 1898 as part of the original plan for the Oxnard townsite. ln 1908 the park was purchased by the City of Oxnard, and Los Angeles'landscape aftist" William David Cook hired by the city to design a new landscape plan. ln addition to the realignment of walkuays and the addition of new plantings, an irrigation system was proposed.

Cook's plan also called for a structure to be built in the center of the park around a water tank that covered an artesian well. Los Angeles architect Alfred Priest was hired to design the new centerpiece for the park, a concrete Pagoda with a tile roof. Thomas Carroll was selected as the contractor. The reasons behind the choice of an essentially Japanesque design for the Plaza Park structure are unknown, but may be a reflection of the popularity of exotic historical styles in the U.S. during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The first Pagoda, completed in 1910, covered the water system but performed no other function. The City of Oxnard approved funding that year to support an Oxnard band, and in 191 1 the city decided to raise the roof of the Pagoda to create an open bandstand underneath it. Alfred Priest made new drawings and contractor Carroll carried out the plans.

Significance Alfred Priest was born in Nebraska in 1888 and came to Los Angeles in 1906. His education consisted of night schoolclasses and work as a draftsman in an architectural firm. He eventually opened his own office in Los Angeles. His resídence was in Glendale. He designed numerous houses, schools, Þuslnesses and clubhouses in Ventura County, Glendale and Los Angeles County throughout his sho¡t career from circa 1908 to his untimely death in 1 931 . His notable buildings in the Los Angeles area include the Theodore Roosevelt lntermediate School in Los Angeles and the Hoover High School (1928), Elks Club (1918), and the Public Se¡vice Building (1929), allin Glendale.

Alfred Priest gained an early foothold in Ventura County, first working in Oxnard around 1909. He designed a number of brick buildings in downtown Oxnard and was then asked by the city in 1910 to design the pagoda for Plaza Park, one of his earliest commissions in a short but notable career.

Priest was responsible for at least twenty-two individual commissions in Ventura County between 1913 through 1930. They included numerous brick commercial buildings in Oxnard, movie theaters in Oxnard and Santa Paula, and many substantial ranch residences for Ventura County farmers during the 1910s. His styles ranged from A¡ts and Crafts to the various Period Revivals of the 1920s: Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean, Colonial Revival, and the Moderne of the 1930s. Perhaps among his most prominent Ventura County buildings are the Masonic Lodge in Ventura (1929), the E.P. Foster Library ft920s, ertensively altered in the 1950s) and the Oxnard Pagoda (1910). Of the many buildings Priest designed in downtown Oxnard, the Pagoda isthe only remaining example.

Over the years, the sidewalk layout and trees within the park have changed, but the pagoda has always remained at its physical and visual center. ln recent years the southeastern and southwestern corners of the park were removed to accommodate the rerouting of South Fifth Street. The pagoda was restored in the 1990s.

The Pagoda was designated Ventura County landmark No. 17 in 1971. Plaza Park and Pagoda, as a whole, also appear to be eligible for the NRHP and CRHR under Criterion A (history) for the role they played as the physical and social center of Oxnard since the city's establishment in 1898. Band concerts, speeches, sermons, festivals and parades have all been part of bringing the community together in one place, and most of the city's important commercial and institutional buildings were organized around the park. including City Hall, Library, Oxnard Hotel, banks, Post Office, and the Masonic Hall. The Park and Pagoda also appear to be eligible under Criterion C (design), as the only ertañ example within the city of the work of architect Alfred Priest.

Also address integrity.) This commercial building was constructed as two stores circa 1927. The original owner and architect are unknown. ln 1929 the building serued as an office and florist shop of J.M. Gast. The second story was probably residential. ln 1939, A.R. Robinson, chiropractor, occupied 513 S. C Street. ln 1948 the owner was Dr. N.A. Powell who hired architect Roy C. Wilson to make alterations to the building. The changes were primarily interior except for minor changes on the erterior front facade. These changes included the removal of shutters from the second floor, the addition of steel sash windows within the first floor window openings and new flush panel doors within the same openings.

The building was used as an office and clinic for Dr. Powell. ln 1954 a 27'by 21'foot garage and storage addition was designed by Robert R. Jones. Since thattime, only minor changes to the first floor store windows and entrances have been made.

While this property is of sufficient age to be considered potentially eligible for the NRHP and CRHR, retains its design integrity, and is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, it does not appear to be related to, or representative of this theme to any notable extent- This property is a typical example of a common architectural style, and is not associated with any significant individual in Oxnard's history. Therefore, this property does not currently appear to be potentially eligible for individual lísting in the NBHP or CRHR, or as a contributor to the formatíon of local, NRHP or C R H R-e I igible historic district.

While this propefty is of sufficient age to be considered potentially eligible for the NRHP and CRHB, reta¡ns most of its design integrity, and is generatly associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, it does not appear to be related to, or representat¡ve of this theme to any notable extent.

Therefore, this property does not currently appear to be potentialty eligible for individual listing in the NRHP or CBHR, or as a contributor to the formation of Iocal, NRHP or C4H4-eligible historic distrîct.

Pacific Telephone and Telegraph built this first two-story 100' by 62' building on this property in 1960. ln 1970 a 1,240 square foot addition was designed by Ventura architects, Hummel, Rasmussen and Love. ln 1996 Ward R. Hellman of Arcadia designed the two-story 3,200 square foot addition to the south of the existing building. The building now totals 6,400 square feet. Essentially, more than half of the building was constructed after 1960. While this property is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, it lacks sufficient integrity of design, workmanship and materials to be regarded as potentially eligible for indívidual listing in the NRHP or CRHR, as a City Landmark, or as a contributor to the formation of local, NRHP or C4HR-eligible historic district.

Appl¡cable Criteria: (Discuss importiance in terms of historical or architectural context as def¡ned by theme, period and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The Amerícan Beet Sugar Company was established by the Oxnard Brothers in 1898 when a factory was built, the adjacent town site laid out, and the Southern Pacific Railroad spur tine connected to the factory grounds. Immigrants arrived in Oxnard ready to work haruesting the sugar beets and in the factory. Company housing was built for the emptoyees on the factory grounds and nearby. By 1915 Donlon Avenue contained twenty-one houses for factory employees. Three of the houses were moved to 210, 235 and 237 W. Seventh Street and the rest were either moved elsewhere or demolished.

The construction of the sugar beet factory encouraged farmers to plant sugar beets, and this crop, when rotated with tima beans and barley, remained the principal cash crop for farmers on the Oxnard Ptain for close to fifty years. The sugar beet industry defined the town of Oxnard, which became the targest c¡ty in Ventura County in 1950, a position it has retained to the present day. The sugar beet factory was demolished in the tate 1950s as the industry moved elsewhere, but growers trans¡tioned to row crops and lemons.

With a rectil¡near plan, the building is one story in height with a short, stepped parapet wall. The erterior walls are clad with stucco. The building occupies a corner parcel, creating two streetfront elevations. These facades are dominated by the boxy massing of the corner bays which rises slightly taller than the rest of the building. Storefronts are located in nearly every bay of the building on both elevat¡ons, each divided by a pilaster. The structural corner column and the pilasters on each side of the storefront windows have a flat square base and shaft. A flat, stylized tile has been applied to the top of each pilaster and column to create the appearance of a classical capital. A simple molding runs above the storefronts of the corner sect¡on; molded coping runs the entire length of the parapet wall. Each storefront window is divided into three parts: a large center pane with mullions separating it from the more narrow flanking elements. Green glass tile covers the bulkhead Þelow the windows. Canvas awnings shade the corner windows. The condition of the building is good.

B9a. Architect: unknown b.

Also address integrity.) This courtyard housing complex was built during the mid-1920s as the Olive Court Apartments. One of the apartment units was converted to a beauty shop in 1938. By 1972, the owner Jacobson Healty, had convefted more of the resídential units to commercial uses.

While this property is of sufficient age to be considered potentially eligibte for the NRHP and CRHR, retains its design integrity, and is generally associated with the commercial and residential devetopment of Downtown Oxnard, it does not appear to be related to, or representative of th¡s theme to any notable extent. This property is a minimal example of a common architectural style, and is not associated with any significant individual in Oxnard's history. Therefore, this property does not currently appear to be potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP or CRHR, or as a contriþutor to the formation of local, NRHp or C RH R-elig i ble hi sto ric district.

However, this propeñy appears to qualify for designation as a City Landmark as a good unaltered example of courtyard housing and the only remaining example of th¡s type of housing in the commercial business district.

Also address integrity.) This commercial building was constructed circa 1925. The oiginal owner is unknown, but the store was occupied in 1926 by a tire store operated by M.F. Jones and a grocery store operated by Harry Kam. ln 1948 the owner was Pete Cooluris, who made an unknown $2,000 alteration to the building. The lessee at the time was William Kaplan who operated a liquor store and deli. The name "Hill Building" is found on the entry sidewalk tile.

This property does not currently appear to be potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP or CRHB, as a City Landmark, or as a contributor to the formation a NRHP or C4HR-eligible historic district. However, the property is a contibutor to a small district composed of buildings constructed during the 1920s along Fifth Street after the American Beet Sugar Company sold surplus land on the west side of the factory for private development. This is the most íntact remaining grouping of commercial buildings from the pre-World War Il period in Oxnard.

Also address integrity.) Two buildings are located on this parcel, at 124 and 128 E. Fifth Street. The building at 128 was constructed circa 1925 as a dry cleaning and pressing business, called Bell Dye Works. tn 1939 N.B. Yeto operated a cleaners on this property and in 1948 it was occupied by Oxnard Pearl Dry Cleaners.

This property does not currently appear to be potentially eligible for individual listíng in the NRHP or CRHH, as a City Landmark, or as a contributor to the formation a NRHP or CRHR-eligible historic district. However, the building at 128 E. Fifth Street is a contributor to a small district composed of buildings constructed during the 1920s along Fifth Street after the American Beet Sugar Company sold surplus land on the west side of the factory for private development. This is the most intact remaining grouping of commercial buildings from the pre-World War II period in Oxnard.

This building was constructed circa 1925 and housed a grocery store, candy and cigar shop in 1929. ln 1948 it was purchased by Tiofilo and Carmen Rodriguez who established La Central Bakery on the prem¡ses. The Rodríguez family started their bakery on Tenth Street in Santa Paula in 1929, moving it to Oxnard ¡n 1948. Descendants of the Hodriguez famity, Francisco M. Rodriguez, president of the company and Carlos P. Rodriguez, chief executive officer, have continued to manage the bakery that currently employs 22 people. An adjacent concrete block annex building was constructed to the south at 606 Meta Street at some point after 1950-

While this property is of sufficient age to be considered potentially eligible for the NRHP and CRHR, retains its design integrity, and is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, it does not appear to be related to, or representative of this theme to any notable extent. This property is a minimal example of a common architecturat style, and is not associated with any significant individual in Oxnard's history. Therefore, this property does not currently appear to be potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP or CRHB, or as a contributor to the formation of tocal, NRHP or CRH R-eligible historic district.

However, this property appears to qualify for designation as a City Landmark as the oldest continuously operating bakery in Oxnard, established at this location in 1948 Þy Tiofilo and Carmen Rodriguez. The bakery has become an institution in Oxnard, seruing the commun$ with Mexican breads and pastries and grinding their own com for to¡tillas.

In 1953 Oxnard businessman Pat Holden h¡red architect Robert B. Jones to design a tiquor store. Hotden had opened his first liquor store on Oxnard Boulevard in 1946. The new building was completed by contractor Ralph Viota in December 1953. A gift shop was added in 1962. The store was a family operation with all five children spending some of their time working as bottle sorters or cashiers. After 59 years in business, Pat Holden sold the store in 2005. The new owners wilt retain the Holden name.

While this properly is of sufficient age to be considered potentially eligible for the NRHP and CBHR, retains its design integrity, and is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, it does not appear to be related to, or representative of this theme to any notable ertent. This property is a minimal example of a common architectural style, and is not associated with any significant individual in Oxnard's history.

Also address integrity.) This building was constructed in 1958 for the Oxnard Press Courier by builder McLeod Construction. The new masonty building measured 109'by 145'with an 18'by 22'office. In 1964 a 30'by 74'storage building was constructed by Pascoe Steet Corporation and designed by W.A. Sontag of Pomona. A 18' by 35'office was added in 1964 and in 1966 a 20'by 142'addition designed by Gerard Dieger was built by Macleod Construction. ln 1971 a 38' by 75'concrete btock addition was designed by Leach-Kehoe-Tiler.

The Oxnard Press Courier was established circa 1910 as the Oxnard Couriei located at 514 B Street with John R. Gabbert as editor. ln 1928 the Oxnard Courier was located at 415 B Street, and J.J. Krouser was editor and publisher. In 1946 the Oxnard Press Courier had moved again to 338 S. A Street. In 1958 it moved to the present address where it remaíned until it went out of þusiness during the 1990s.

Although the property is significant as the final location of Oxnard's principal daily newspaper for over seventy years, the building was substantiallly altered and expanded in several phases between 1964 and 1971 and consequenily it tacks sufficient integr¡ty of design, setting, workmanship and materials to be regarded as potent¡alty etigibte for individual tisting in the NRHP or CRHR, for designation as a City Landmark, or as a contributor to the formation of local, NRHP or C1H1-etigible historic district.

Also address integrity.) This parcel consists of two buildings. The building at the rear of 201 (120 W. Second Street) was constructed by Howard Reno in 1959 as an auto repair and seruice building, designed by architect Carl Schwa¡tz and constructed by contactor Moline. The parl of the building that faces onto Oxnard Blvd. was probably constructed in 1969 as an office and sales building. lt was designed by architects Miller and Crowell.

The building on the southern end of the parcel (221 S. Oxnard Blvd) was apparently constructed in 1945 for Oxnard Auto Sales.

While this property is of sufficient age to be considered potentially eligible for the NRHP and CRHR, retains some of its design integrity, and is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, it does not appear to be related to, or representative of this theme to any notable extent. This propeñy is a minimal example of a common architectural style, and is not associated with any significant individual in Oxnard's history. Therefore, this properiy does not currently appear to be potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP or CRHR, as a City Landmark, or as a contributor to the formation of local, NBHP or CRH4-eligible historic district.

Lathrop owned the building and made an addition. ln 1980 the building was rehabilitated, and ¡n 1987 the barn doors replaced with glass and aluminum door and store front. The 1950 Sanbom map shows the use has changed from a warehouse to a store. From 1946 to 1957 an auto supply store run by Hubert Caiilin occupied the buitding.

A recessed storefront is located at the center of the main façade; a structural brick pier partially obscures it from view. The storefront has a Þrick bulkhead and plate glass windows. Two corrugated metal awnings shade the storefront. A scrolled fascia board has been applied to the façade just above the storefront level, on both the main façade and the first bay of the secondary facades. Scrolled cornice boards have been applied similarly just below the eaves. Narrow corner boards line the ve¡tical edges of the main façade. A neon sign reading "Gordon's Western Weaf'fills the space between the fascia and cornice boards. A hipped parapet covered with red clay tile conceals the flat roof þehind it. The condition of the building is fair.

Also address integrity.) This theater building is one of only two early theaters remaining in the downtown, and the oldest. lt appears to have been built in 1929. By 1910, the city was home to three theaters, and during the 1920s two additional large theaters were built, including the Boulevard Theatre and the Oxnard Theatre. Of these, only the Boulevard remains.

ln 1948 the theatq was owned by Sunderman Estate and by 1966 it was owned by Metropolitan Theatres of Los Angeles. ln 1966 four signs were erected and interior alterations were made. ln 1980 a new sign was added. The name was changed to Boulevard Teatro circa 1960, probably in recognition of the fact that it had beæme a primarily Spanish language film venue. The theater building has been used in more recent years as a church and a recnrding studio.

While this property is of sufficient age to be considered potentially eligible for the NRHP and CRHR, retains its design integrity, and is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, ¡t does not appear to be related to, or representative of this theme to any notable extent- This property is a minimal example of a common architectural style, and is not associated with any significant individual in Oxnard's history. Therefore, this propefty does not currently appear to be potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP or CRHR, or as a contributor to the formation of local, NRHP or CRHR-eligible historic district-

However, this propeny appears to qualify for designation as a City Landmark as a good and scarce example of the Moderne style in Oxnard, as well as the city's oldest extant movie theater.

The buitding has a rectangular plan and is one story tatt. The flat roof is concealed by a short corbelled parapet. Constructed of brick, most of the main façade has been coated with stucco. Although cunently in use as a single business, the building appears to have been divided originatty into three storefronts. Storefronts are visually divided by pilasters. The Ieft storefront is enclosed with brick. The center and right storefronts, stightty recessed within the main wall, form the entrance to the current business, a restaurant. The lower portion of the wall is covered with red tile. One glazed metal entrance door is located in the center storefront, a band of single-pane fixed metal windows extends to either side of the door to fill the wídth of the center and right storefronts. The transoms have been enclosed and covered with stucco and now holds signage for the restaurant. A recessed frieze extends across each of the three storefront bays on the watrl space above the storefront level and below the parapet. The condition of the building is fair to good.

The original owner is unknown. ln 1929 they housed a pool hall, restaurant, a grocery and a tailor shop. ln 1939 the occupants were M. Matsumoto, Southem Cafe (643); J.S. Okada, grocer (645); and Mandarin Chop Suey restaurant (649). The buildings were owned in 1947 by Frank Couste. These brick buildings replaced the earlier woodframe buildings on this property circa 1925. This area was occupied primarily by Japanese-owned businesses from the 1910s until World War ll, as well as some Chinese-owned businesses.

While this property is of sufficíent age to be considered potentially eligible for the NBHP and CBHR, reta¡ns its design integrity, and is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, it does not appear to be related to, or representative of this theme to any notable ertent.

Historic Name; Oxnard Chinatown D2. Common Name: 703-705 S. Oxnard Blvd D3. Detailed Description (Discuss overall coherence of the district, its setting, visual characteristics, and m¡nor features. List all elements of district.): The district represents a small grouping of two remaining commercial buildings associated with Oxnard's Chinatown.

The tvvo buildings, Iocated at 703 and 705 S. Oxnard Blvd, were constructed around 1928 and are two-story masonry buildings facing directly onto the street. Although two other buildings associated with Chinatown remain on the block, they are not considered part of the district because of adiacent non-contributing buildings existing on the block. These other two buitdings at 621 and 653 S. Oxnard Blvd., are listed as potential local landmarks.

Although none the buildings which formerly fronted onto the alley behind the buildings rema¡n, this portion of the "China Atty'' shoutd be considered paft of the district, as it was an important feature of the original Chinatown in Oxnard.

D4. Boundary Description (Describe limits of district and aüach map showing boundary and district elements.): The district is located on the west side of Oxnard Boulevard between Seventh and Eighth streets. The Þoundary inctudes just the two buildings at the southwest corner of Seventh and Oxnard Boulevard.

D5. Boundary Justification: The boundaries include a portion of the original Chinatown along the 700 block of Oxnard Btvd (west side) and China Attey. The entire original Chinatown was bounded by Oxnard Blvd. on the east; A Street on the west; Seventh Street on the north; and Eighth Street on the south. There are no longer enough buildings remain¡ng to include the remaining original Chinatown.

Also address the integrity of the disûict as a whole.) This small district of two buildings represents what remains of Oxnard's Chinatown, a once thriving district of residences and commercíal buildings that was established in the early l901s.Chinese immigrants, mainly single men, were among the earliest settlers in the new town of Oxnard, opening businesses and working as agricultural laþorers. Severa! relocated from Ventura, after most of the Chinese district on Figueroa Street was abandoned and demolished by 1905. By 1900, the first smatt Chinese settlement was established in Oxnard, on the west side of Saviers Road between Fifth and Sirth ilreets, comprised of small wooden dwellings that served as both shops and housing, and a Chinese laundry.

Signif icance By 1903 another small Chinese settlement was estaþlished along Saviers Road between Seventh and Eighth streets. In 1906 the Chinese quarler expanded to include the entire block and the alley bounded by Saviers Road, A Street, and Seventh and Eighth streets. lnterspersed were boarding houses for Japanese and women, a euphemism for houses of prostitution. By 1912, the Chinese appear to have abandoned the area betvveen Fifth and Sixth streets and Oxnard's Chinatown became firmly established between Seventh and Eighth streets, the alley, Saviers Road and A Street.

The early Oxnard Chinese commun¡U was predominately male, either single, or with families in China. Most came to America to work with the intention of returning to their homes. Chinese immigrants experienced seven areas of hostility: prejudice, social and geographic segregation, economic discrimination, political disenfranchisement, immigration exclusion and physical violence. Because of these prevailing issueg the Chinese established a complex network of organizations to maintain social cohesion. (Chan, 1991 )

Numerous Chinese social institutions were created. The Chinese Free Masons, also referred to as the Bing Kong Tong, built a hall at 740 A Street around 1904. This group also serued as the Chinese Benevolent Association, which "organized the fire department, acted as a court in community disputes, and arranged funerals." (Jennings, 1984: 25) The Chinese residents of Oxnard also operated their own employment agency, the Shang Wo Quong Company, with an office at 732 A Street in 1911.

The Chinese worked mainly as farm laborers and as cooks on local ranches. Some were merchants, owning shops catering primarily to Chinese residents, but were also patronized by white children buying candy and lichee nuts, and adults purchasing firecrackers for the Fourth of July. Chinese laundries were popular both inside and outside Chinatown, and restaurants serving Chinese cuisine spread outside Chinatown.

Located within the confines of the Chinese district during the 1910s were a laundry, billiard hall, restaurant, barber shop, grocery stores and the Chinese Masonic hall. The Oxnard City Business Directory for 1 910-1 1 listed 1 2 Chinese and Japanese merchants located on Saviers Road and the 700 block of A Street. During this period, the alley between Seventh and Eighth streets, Saviers Road and A Street became known as China Alley. The buildings fronting onto China Alley were primarily small, one story woodframe residences. During this period, China AIIey developed a somewhat notorious reputation. Gambling, narcotics and prostitution were commonplace.

At its peak, the Chinese community in Oxnard numbered around 600 persons. By 1930 only one Chinese merchant was listed in China Alley, the Wing Chong Lung Company. Many of the Chinese merchants opened businesses on Oxnard Boulevard during the 1920s to take advantage of this major thoroughfare. The flimsy wooden buildings were demolished in favor of substantial new brick buildings. By the end of the 1930s, China Alley's residents were predominately Hispanic, and China Alley persisted in name only. By 1951 , about half of the small wooden buildings fronting the alley had been removed, with the rest disappearing during the 1960s and 1970s.

A few Chinese residents remained in Oxnard. One early Chinese merchant, Hall Soo Hoo, who immigrated to Oxnard in 1917 at the age of 14, became the owner of the Golden Chicken Inn restaurant at 701 Oxnard Boulevard. Mama Soo Hoo's Oriental Restaurant was opened in 1948 at 730 Oxnard Boulevard. The Bing Kong Tong Free Masons continues to meet at 751 S. Oxnard Boulevard.

AIso address integrity.) This building was constructed circa 1928 for Hall Soo Hoo and six partners. A pool hall occupied the first floor and the Golden Chicken Inn restaurant was opened on the second floor. The undistinguished wooden buildings built in the early 19OOs by Asian immigrants were replaced by more substantial, though still modest, brick buildings along Oxnard Boulevard during the 1920s.

Hall Soo Hoo came to Oxnard from China in 1917 at the age of fourteen, and worked in a restaurant. Soo Hoo was a volunteer member of the Chinese Fire Company and constructed the Bing Kong Tong hall in 1956, a few doors south of his restaurant. ln 1959 Hall Soo Hoo demolished the rear building and erected an $1 1 ,000 addition. The builder was Louis Palmer. In 1 965 Soo Hoo retired from the restaurant business.

This property appears eligible for listing on the NRHP and the CRHR as part of a district under Criterion A for its association with Oxnard's Chinatown. This property also appears to qualify for designation as a City Landmark for its association with the Hall Soo Hoo family, and as possibly the longest continuously operating restaurant in Oxnard's Chinatown.

Parcel No. 201027206 P3. Description (Deæribe resource and its major elements. lnclude design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) This commercial building exhibits elements of the Modern style. The building has a rectangular plan, is one story tatt, and has a ftat roof with a short parapet wall. The erterior walls are clad primarily with stucco; the main façade also exhibits brick elements. The main façade dominated by a nearly full-width storefront window. A brick bulkhead provides a base beneath the storefront window. The window consists of a series of ten vertically-oriented panes of glass, separated by narrow metal muilions. The glazing is a blue-green hue. The glass slants outward from the recessed bulkhead to the base of the soffited parapet. A ve¡ticat brick pier, two courses wide, denotes the left edge of the main façade and breaks through the roofptane. The entrance door is perpendicular to the main façade, recessed slightly below the roofline, at the right end of the storefront window. The wide soffitted flat roof extends out over the storefront windows to serve as a canopy and a frieze for signage. Fenestratíon on the secondary facades are simple ve¡fical window openings; windows are obscured by metal security grilles. The condition of the buitding appears to be excellent.

Also address integrity.) The first buîlding on this propefty, used as a market, was built by the Asahi Company, which formed in 1907 with seven Japanese men from Oxnard and Santa Paula signing the incorporation papers. The company was established tor conducting business in Oxnard. The building that became the Asahi Market was constructed between 1903 and 1906. The original two story woodframe building had been operated as a Japanese Market continuously between 1903 and 1906.

During World War ll, when Japanese-Americans were sent to internment camps, the store continued to be run by friends. tn 1946 Alice Carmona was listed as operating the business. In 1956 the Asahi Corporation demolished the originat buitding and constructed the present building, designed by Carl Schwa¡tz and constructed by Alex Moline & Son. The Takasugi Famity has been active in operating the store over the years.

Carl Schwarz, AIA was one of a handful of architects based in Oxnard during the 1950s. He was born in Austria-Hungary in 1904, emigrated to the U.S. in 1924 and studied architecture at the University of Minnesota. He lived in Pasadena before moving to Oxnard during the mid-l950s, joining the office of Rudolf Polley. Among his local commissions was the Dolty Brigham School, the Colonia public housing project and school buildings at the Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, among several others in downtown Oxnard. He died in 1990.

The property owner in 1949 was Shunichi "Sam" Tokuyama who operated his doctor's office on the property. The undistinguished wooden Þuildings built in the early 1900s by Asian immigrants were replaced with more substantial, although modest, brick buildings along Oxnard Blvd. during the 1920s.

Dr. Sam Tokuyama, born on April 4, 1907 in Califomia, was raised on his parents 40-acre vegetable farm in south Oxnard. He graduated from USC Medical School and moved to Texas where he practiced medicine until returning to Oxnard with his wife Alice in 1955. He then established his practice in the building at 721 S. Oxnard Blvd. which he had owned since 1949 and perhaps earlier. He practiced until 1988 and died on August 24, 1994 at the age of 87.

It appears to have been designed by Santa Paula architect Roy C. Wilson in 1948 for Bush Metcalf.

Following World War ll, the auto industry boomed, leading to the modernization of the auto retailing industry. Prior to World War II, cars were retailed in storefronts, in a similar fashion to other retail products. ln the post-war era, car dealers were urged by the manufacturers to relocate to larger lots on major thoroughfares, where they could attract attention with prominent signage. The second important change was to the arrangement of buildings. New cars would now be displayed in modern glass-fronted buildings with a large car display window and an even larger seruice wing. Used cars would be displayed prominently along with new cars, but in open display areas located adjacent to a busy street. This is the automobile retailing arrangement still used today.

Significance: Theme: Social History Area OxnardCBD Period of Significance: 1898-1960 Property Type= hall/commetcial Applicable Criteria: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) This building was constructed by Hall and Nora Soo Hoo in 1956 to house the Bing Kong Benevolent Association. The Bing Kong Tong acted as an important social organization within the Chinese community by acting as a court in community disputes, arranging funerals, housing travelers and fighting fires.

The Bing Kong Tong was established in Oxnard around 1904 and was referred to as the Chinese "Masonic" Temple when it celebrated its dedication ceremony on September 4, 1904, festooned with dragon banners and hosting distinguished guests from Los Angeles and San Francisco. Chinese musicians from San Francisco peñormed in costume. ''Fhe lodge ... has about two hundred members and is considered a very influential organization in the Chinese economics of the valley. lts members are recruited from Santa Paula, Saticoy, Hueneme and other sections of the county which are not tributary to the lodge at Ventura." (Los Angeles Times, 9/4/1905)

The Bing Kong Tong Hall was first located at 740 A Street in 1906 then moved to 743 Oxnard BIvd by 1 921 . This building was condemned and demolished in 1954 and the third hall built in 1956 by Hall Soo Hoo at 753 S. Oxnard Blvd. The Bing Kong Tong continues to meet in the hall.

This property has been at the heart of Oxnard's Chinatown since the early 1900s. A row of one and two story wooden buitdings atong Savíers Road served as sfores and residences for Chinese residents. China AIIey was located between A Street and Saviers Road.

While this property is of sufficient age to be considered potentially eligible for the NRHP and CRHR, retains its design integrity, and is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, it does not appear to be related to, or representative of this theme to any notable ertenL This property is a minimal example of a common architectural styte, and is not associated with any significant individual in Oxnard's history. Therefore, this property does not currently appear to be potentiatty eligible for individual listing in the NRHP or CRHR, or as a contributor to the formation of local, NRHP or C1H4-eligible historic district. However, this Property appears to qualify for designat¡on as a City Landmark for the unique role it played in the social tife of Oxnard's Chinese community.

Denny's was founded in 1g53 in Lakewood, Catifornia as Danny's Donuts. ln 1959 the chain was renamed Denny's Restaurants, with 20 stores ¡n operation. By lg63 the chain had expanded to 78 locations. The Oxnard Denny's Coffee Shop opened in the midst of this expansion in lg6O. Other occupants have been Kozy Kitchen (1983) and the present occupant, Henri's Cafe.

The early Denny's restaurants were designed by the architectural firm of Armet and Davis, well-known exponents, and arguably the originators, of the modern roadside architectural styte which has come to be known as "Googie." Armet and Davis designed the prototype Denny's in 1958, which was utitized for dozens of Denny's restaurants during the chain's major expansion campaign of the late 1950s and early 1960s. lt was through the expansion of the Denny's restaurant chain during this period that this regional California style was exported to the rest of the nation. No architect of record could be found for this building; but the Oxnard Denny's appears to have been built according to the standard plan designed by the firm. The engineer was Richard N. Jasper and the builder was vandertund construction.

This commercial property is vernacular in design. The one story brick building has a ftat roof with a corbetled parapet watt. The storefront has two store windows flanking a recessed central entrance door. Brick piers flank the storefront. A wide transom ertends across the full width of the storefront window, stopping at the piers. A recessed frieze, with "Et Miramaf sign, is located above the transom. The brick is stuccoed. The storefront has been altered with the instatlation of shorter, single-pane store windows and the construction of a taller tile bulkhead below the windows. The condition of the buitding is good.

This building may have been constructed by K. Inadomi circa 1930 for use as pat't of his grocety store located at l 15 W. Seventh St.

This property is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, but ¡t lacks sufficient integrity of design, setting, workmanship and materials to be regarded as potentially eligibte for individuat tisting in the NRHp or CRHR or for designation as a City Landmark, or as a contr¡butor to the formation of local, NRHP or CqHR-eligible historic district.

Also address integrity.) This large ranch house was built circa 1912 for pioneer Archie Connelty and his family after their first house burned down. A native of County Monaghan, lreland, Connelly had come to the Colonia area circa 1868, joining several lrish families who had settled in the area. Connelly worked for several ranchers until he was able to purchase his own 264 acres.

Married in 1878 to Eliza Cloyne, the couple raised six children on the lima bean ranch. Sons Thomas and Ray continued to live in the ranch house and farm the land growing beets and vegetabtes. After Wortd War tl, the land was leased to Japanese farmers and continued to be owned by the Connelly famity untit it was sotd in the mid-l980s.

The house was designed by Albert C. Martin, a noted Los Angetes architect who designed several important buitdings in Ventura County in the early 1900s including the Ventura County Courthouse (1912) and the St. Mary Magdaten Chapel (1913) in Camarillo and St. Joseph's Hospital (ca 1915) in Oxnard. Martin had strong connections to Oxnard and Ventura Couníy having married the daughter of the pioneer John Borchard famity of Oxnard. In 1906 Martin opened his architectural office in Los Angeles and attained recognition in the Los Angeles region for his collaboration on the design of the Los Angetes City Halt and for Grauman's Millíon Dollar Theater. The firm is still in existence today in Los Angeles and run by the grandsons of Albert C. Maftin.

Significance: Theme: Social History Area OxnardCBD Period of Significancei 1898-1960 property Type: church i Applicable Criteria: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) This property has been the location of churches since shor-tly after the Oxnard townsite was laid out. The first church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church, was built on the property between 1900 and 1903. Between 1g2g and 1950, it became the Foursquare Gospel Church, probably in 1946 when alterations were made to the building. tn 1956 the Sunday School Annex was built and designed by Thomas Jewell. ln 1963 the old church building was apparently demolished and the present church building constructed.

The annex building is fifty years of age and is one of the few remaining church buitdings in downtown Oxnard which is stitt used for religious purposes. However, the bulk of the improvements on the propefty are of insufficient age to be regarded as potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP or CRHR, as a City Landmark, or as a contributor to the formation of local. NRHP or CRHR-eligible historic district.

Significance: Theme: Social History Area OxnardCBD Period of Significance: 1898-1960 property Type= restaurant/Bool halt Applicable Criteria: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period and geographic scope. Also address integrþ.) This building was constructed in 1945 for Amelia Murr and occupied by a pool hatt and restaurant. Beatriz C. Ramos was the lessee for the Mi Terra Cafe and pool hall. The pool hall is still in operation today and has serued for over fifty years as a place where primarily Mexican men socialíze. Ethic historian Richard Steven Street discusses pool hatts, "tmpoftant social havens, pool halls were places where men could renew old friendships. Because many of these establishments combined other functions as well - including barbershops, bathhouses, restaurants, and bars - they were places where field hands could forget their pains and troubles, sometimes by partaking of cheap wine and whiskey."

While this property is of sufficient age to be considered potentiatly eligibte for the NRHP and CRHR, retains its design integrity, and is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, it does not appear to be related to, or representative of this theme to any notable ertent. This property is a minimal example of a common architectura! style, and is not associated with any significant individual in Oxnard's history. Therefore, this property does not currenly appear to be potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP or CRHR, or as a contributor to the formation of tocat, NRHp or C R H R-el ig ible historic distri ct.

However, this property appears to qualify for designation as a City Landmark as apparently the oldest remaining, continuously operating pool hall in the city.

Also address inteSlty.) This residence was built circa 1928. The occupant, and perhaps the original owner in 1g28, were J. Refugio Vargas and Cresencia Vargas. Mr. Vargas owned Vargas and Jimenez, a men's furnishings store at SA2 S. Oxnard Boulevàrd. This property is one of the few remaining residences in the Mexican section of downtown Oxnard. This area of the city developed in the early 1900s with small residences and lodge houses for workers given its proximity to the American Sugar Beet ptant. By the 1920s, new business buildings and residences were built catering to Oxnard's ethnic mix.

While this property is of sufficient age to be considered potentiatty eligibte for the NRHP and CRHH, retains its design integrity, and is generally associated with the commercial and residential development of Downtown Oxnard, it does not ippear to be related to, or representative of this theme to any notable extent. This properTy is a minimal example of a common architectural style, and is not assoc¡ated with any significant individuat in Oxnard's hístory. Therefore, this property does not currently appear to be potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP or CBHR, as a City Landmark, or as a contributor to the formation of local, NRHP or CRHR-eligible historic district.

Significance: Theme: Social History Area OxnardCBD Period of Significance= 1898-1960 property Type: charitable rþission Applicable Criteria: (Discuss importance ¡n terms of h¡storical or arch¡tectural context as defined by theme, period and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) This building was the first Buddhist Temple constructed by Japanese immigrants to Oxnard in 1929-1930. Thirty-five Buddhist families supported the construction of the building, which was completed in May 1g30. The new temple became the center for Oxnard Buddhists, where the earlier classes and women's society were brought together. ln addition the church held conferences and interchurch athletics with other Buddhist temptes in Southern Catifornia. The organization took on the responsibility of maintaining the Japanese Cemetery located on Pleasant Valtey Road. When Japanese residents returned to Oxnard following their interment during World War It, the Buddhist Church was converted to transitionat housing for famities and served as a home for elderly Japanese residents, some of whom remained there for over ten years. The last of the personal items stored in the church were not removed until 1g56.

In 1966 the Oxnard Buddhist Temple was moved to a new building on H Street, and in 1972 the Oxnard Rescue Mission purchased the building and made interior alterations. Other additions were made in 1g76 and 1g84. The rear two-story Japanese dormitory was demolished and a new two-story building housing a dining room, store and office was buitt in lg!J-.

This property is closely associated with the Japanese community in Oxnard, but it tacks sufficient integrity of design, setting, workmanship and materials to be regarded as potentially eligibte for individuat listing in the NRHP or CRHR, or as a contributor to the formation of local, NRHP or C4HR-eligible historic district. However, due to the more generalized integrity standards applied to the local criteria for listing, and its association with a tocatty important historica! theme, this propefi appears to qualif for designation as a City Landmark or Point of tnterest.

The parapet wall was altered by owners Flesher and Lawrence in 1966 by the architectual firm of Witson, Stroh and Wilson. Ftesher and Lawrence had an insurance office at 214-220 W. Third Street, the western hatf of the building.

This property does not currently appear to be potentially eligibte for individuat tisting in the NRHp or CRHR, as a City Landmark, or as a contributor to the formation a NRHP or CRHR-eligible historic district. However, the property is a contributor to a potentially eligible local historic district representing the most intact remaining examples of post-war commercial development of downtown Oxnard.

This 50' by 1 1 5' building was built for owner Paul Bannon in 1953 by contractor A. Motine. ln 1 957 the occupants were Gordon G. Bennett, dentist at 330 W. Third Street and Owens and Hunt, lavvyers at 300 S. C Street. The occupant in 1961 was Davidson lnsurance Company. In 1980 Manuel Lopez became owner.

While this property is of sufficient age to be considered potentially eligible for the NRHP and CRHR, retains its design integrity, and is generally associated with the commercial and res¡dent¡al development of Downtown Oxnard, it does not appear to be related to, or representative of this theme to any notable extent. This property is a minimal example of a common architectural style, and is not associated with any significant individual in Oxnard's history. Therefore, this propefi does not currently appear to be potentially eligible for individual listing in the NBHP or CRHB, as a City Landmark, or as a contributor to the formation of local, NRHP or C4HR-eligible historíc district.
