CITY OF GLENDALE INTERDIVISIONAL COMMUNICATION STAFF REPORT
Date: July 18, 2019
To: Historic Preservation Commission
From: Jay Platt, Senior Urban Designer
Subject: Recommendation regarding Glendale Register of Historic Resources Nomination and Mills Act Contract for 1837 Sherer Lane
Property Owner: Ian and Jennifer Marks
Property Legal Description: ______
INTRODUCTION The owner of the single-family house at 1837 Sherer Lane has requested that the property be considered for local listing on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources. Based on a field visit to the property, information on the property obtained from City records, and the nomination and historical documentation submitted by the owner (Exhibit A), the property appears to meet the criteria for eligibility to the Glendale Register of Historic Resources under Criterion 3 provided certain altered features are returned to be closer to their original appearance as discussed in this staff report. Therefore, the Planning Division recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission recommend to the City Council that the property at 1837 Sherer Lane be designated as a local historic resource and be added to the Glendale Register of Historic Resources.
The property owner has also requested to enter into a Mills Act contract with the City of Glendale for the benefit of property tax savings in exchange for continued preservation of the property. The Planning Division additionally recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission recommend to the City Council that the City Manager be authorized to enter into a “Mills Act” historical property contract, with conditions to return altered features closer to their original appearance, with the property owners under the Section 15.20.070A of the Glendale Municipal Code.
Glendale’s Historic Preservation Ordinance establishes the process for designating historic properties locally and outlines the procedure for considering future alterations of those officially designated properties, which includes the review role of the Historic Preservation Commission.
HPC Staff Report Glendale Register Nomination: 1837 Sherer Lane Page 1 of 5 HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE AND ELIGIBILITY OF PROPERTY
Historical Background 1837 Sherer Drive is a two-story single-family residence located in the Verdugo Woodlands neighborhood. It was designed by the firm of Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury in the Mediterranean Revival style and built in 1926. It is an excellent and mostly intact example of its style and the work of a significant architectural firm that was based in Pasadena and designed a number of notable works throughout the region. It was built for businessman Charles H. Howland and his second wife Mary May Howland. Mr. Howland died in 1934 and his wife remained in the house until her death in 1942.
The nomination provides an excellent, thoroughly researched historical background regarding the Howlands and the work of Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury, which is attached to this report as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference.
The nomination suggests the property is eligible for Glendale Register listing under Criteria 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Staff believes it is eligible only under Criterion 3 for the quality of its architecture, presuming altered features are brought closer to their original appearance through conditions added by the Commission to any Mills Act contract it recommends for City Council approval. Staff’s position is detailed in the “Findings of Eligibility” section below.
Architectural Description 1837 Sherer Lane is a wood-frame, stucco clad structure with the blocky massing typical of its style. It is placed on an irregularly shaped lot that is the result of earlier, which took place, at least in part, in 1976. For this reason, its primary façade does not address the street and is instead oriented toward the views across Verdugo Canyon (its original address was 1750 Verdugo Road). The asymmetrical composition feature a main two-story volume set on a plinth above the level of the driveway and motor court. The front entry is accessed via a pair of staircases with stepped cheek wall that run parallel to the façade. The landing between the two stairways feature a stone plaque carved with the Howland family crest. The stairs open onto an entry terrace that extends across the main façade and widens toward the south, where it fronts onto a one-story loggia appended to the side of the two-story volume. The loggia features two simple round columns, masonry lattice railings, and a large arched opening that faces the street. At the north end of the house, the first story extends over a two-car garage, creating a lower two-story volume. The garage features arched openings and wood doors. All of these volumes feature tile-clad hipped roofs, which follow the various façade articulations and visually unify the overall composition. The arched entry door features a heavy stone surround and wrought iron grill work above the door. The door opening was partially infilled by a previous owner and the existing door dates to that work. Three tall arched openings front onto the entry terrace at the living room and feature French doors and arched transoms. The three window openings at the second floor above the entry terrace are separated by simple square pilasters, which give this area the appearance of a loggia. The front façade also features stucco lattice grills placed in front of windows at several locations, and a wrought iron window grill (reja) and balconet at two first floor windows. Most windows throughout the house have three-light, wood casement sash, although there are
HPC Staff Report Glendale Register Nomination: 1837 Sherer Lane Page 2 of 5 several replacement windows at both the front and rear facades. Two decorative chimneys project above the roof; a third chimney of simple design was added at the rear façade in 1993. The rear façade is more articulated than the front and is more Spanish Colonial Revival in style. It is relatively unadorned and features rectangular window and door openings. The first floor opens onto a relatively narrow rear terrace that is not landscaped. A stairway of relatively recent construction rises alongside the retaining wall that supports the upper yard, which is landscaped with grass. The stucco clad perimeter walls along the property line are not original and the original condition of this area is unknown openings. The decorative block retaining walls at the motor court and the ledgestone planter walls adjacent to the entry stairs are also not original.
Alterations and Integrity 1837 Sherer Lane retains a high degree of design and material integrity, though some alterations have been made in recent years. The most prominent changes occur at the front entry and various window openings. The original arched entry opening was reduced in size by the addition of a strip of recessed wall, clad in rough stucco, running along both jambs and the top arch. A single-leaf paneled wood door and solid arched wood transom are set within the new opening. This work was performed by a previous owner relatively recently. Real estate photographs depict an earlier double-leaf wood door, also with a solid wood transom. The provenance of the earlier door is unknown, but it does not appear original itself due to its style and crisp, patina-free appearance. Four window openings at the front façade contain non-original sash – two sliders and a casement above the garage and a multi-light, double-leaf casement at the second floor “loggia” area. Though these windows are constructed of wood, they do not reflect the appearance of the known original windows. Several windows at the rear façade are also not original and not appropriate to the style. The two garage doors are appropriate wood replacements that do fit the style and overall appearance of the house. A pair of French doors that open onto a garden tucked behind the first floor logia and a sliding door at the rear terrace off the kitchen are also later additions, but these appear to be more appropriate than the window change outs.
Finding of Eligibility After reviewing the nomination submitted by the current owner and its supporting documentation, as well as visiting the site, Planning Division staff concludes that the property appears to meet Criterion 3 of the eligibility criteria for listing on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources, particularly if the inappropriate entry door and window change outs are remedied through Mills Act conditions. The nomination suggests that the property’s association with Charles Howland, descendent of a prominent early American family and businessman associated with the Continuous Brick Kiln Building could make the property significant several criteria: Criterion 1 (association with important events or broad cultural patterns) for the early family members arrival to America on the Mayflower and participation in the whaling industry; Criterion 2 (association with persons important in local, state, or national history) for the same associations; Criterion 4 (archaeological potential) due to Howland’s sense of adventure; and Criterion 5 (early heritage – the incentive criterion, which applies only to properties not meeting any of Criteria 1 through 4) for its location on land once belonging to the Verdugo family. The nomination does not provide any information that Mr. Howland’s life or career rose to a level of significance in local, state, or national history
HPC Staff Report Glendale Register Nomination: 1837 Sherer Lane Page 3 of 5 despite his interesting history and family pedigree. Staff therefore does not believe the property to be eligible under any criteria other than Criterion 3, for its architectural merit.
Architectural Significance [Criterion 3] To meet Criterion 3, a property must “embody the distinctive and exemplary characteristics of an architectural style, architectural type, period, or method of construction; or represent a notable work of a master designer, builder or architect whose genius influenced his or her profession; or possess high artistic values.”
1837 Sherer is an excellent example of the Mediterranean Revival style, mixed with the influence of the Spanish Colonial, featuring many character defining features, such as its blocky massing, clay tile roofs, prominent entry surround, large French doors and multi-light casement windows, decorative chimneys, and stucco lattice and iron grill work. Unique features include the first floor loggia, the loggia-like treatment at the second floor, and the paired staircases and stepped cheek walls at the entry, the Howland family crest at the stair landing, and two fountains (one at wall below the entry terrace and another at the loggia). The altered front door and replaced windows diminish the significance to some degree, but appropriate replacements would help bring the house closer to its early appearance and enhance its overall eligibility under this criterion.
Staff Determination Pursuant to Section 15.20.050 of the Glendale Municipal Code, staff has determined that the property at 1837 Sherer Lane is eligible for listing in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources based on the above findings, particularly if the following conditions are included in a possible Mills Act contract: • Restore the front entry to its original size and install a new door and transom of appropriate design • Remove all inappropriate replacement windows and install new wood casement windows with divided lights (as appropriate to the size of the openings) • Remove the ledgestone planter walls below the entry and loggia terraces. Install appropriate new curbs as needed to control drainage or regrade to meet level of driveway
Recommended Action by the Historic Preservation Commission Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission recommend to the City Council that the property at 1837 Sherer Lane, to be called the “Howland House,” be designated as a historic resource in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources based on the findings identified in the staff determination.
Staff also suggests that the Historic Preservation Commission recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a Mills Act contract with the property owners for property tax savings with the conditions noted above.

18. CRITERIA FOR INCLUSION IN THE GLENDALE REGISTER In order to qualify for inclusion on the Glendale Register, the proposed resource must meet at least one of the following criteria. Please explain how the proposed resource meets one or more of the following criteria. A proposed resource does not need to meet all criteria in order to qualify for the Glendale Register. However, if the proposed resource meets more than one criterion, please include all information in this application. If a criterion is inapplicable, indicate “Not Applicable”. Attach additional pages, if necessary. Identify the source from where the information was obtained and provide copies of any supporting information and documentation with this application. CRITERION 1 IS THE PROPOSED HISTORIC RESOURCE IDENTIFIED WITH IMPORTANT EVENTS IN NATIONAL, STATE, OR CITY HISTORY, OR DOES IT EXEMPLIFY SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE BROAD CULTURAL, POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, OR HISTORIC HERITAGE OF THE NATION, STATE, OR CITY? IF SO, PLEASE DESCRIBE: Please see attachments regarding Howland family history and Southern California history below
CRITERION 2 IS THE PROPOSED HISTORIC RESOURCE ASSOCIATED WITH A PERSON, PERSONS, OR GROUPS WHO SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE HISTORY OF THE NATION, STATE, REGION, OR CITY? IF SO, PLEASE DESCRIBE: Charles H Howland who commissioned the building of the residence that is now 1837 Sherer Lane is the descendant of one of the earliest American families, the Howlands. The Howlands were a prominent English family (whose heraldic crest is proudly displayed at the entrance to this residence) who first came the Plymouth Colony on the Mayflower. Subsequently the Howland family left a prominent mark on American and world history through their involvement in the whaling industry. Note numerous place- names including Howland’s Ferry, sight of the Battle of Rhode Island in the American Revolution, Howland Island in the South Pacific (which was searched at length for Amelia Earhart’s remains), and Howland’s landing on Catalina island. Charles H Howland, original owner of this residence, is notable for his involvement in early cartography of Southern California as well as leadership in Continuous Brick Kiln Company of Inglewood (whose product was used in construction of well-know Los Angeles structures including the Bradbury Building). His first wife’s father was the founder of the city of Inglewood. CRITERION 3 DOES THE PROPOSED HISTORIC RESOURCE EMBODY THE DISTINCTIVE AND EXEMPLARY CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ARCHITECTURAL STYLE, ARCHITECTURAL TYPE, PERIOD, OR METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION; OR REPRESENT A NOTABLE WORK OF A MASTER DESIGNER, BUILDER OR ARCHITECT WHOSE GENIUS INFLUENCED HIS OR HER PROFESSION; OR POSSESS HIGH ARTISTIC VALUES? IF SO, PLEASE DESCRIBE: The Italianate/Mediterranean style of the house is notable and distinct from the more typical Spanish revival style commonly built in Glendale in the 1920s. Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury was a prominent architectural firm based in Pasadena. The firm custom- designed numerous homes, commercial buildings, and churches in Pasadena and surrounding communities. The partners were Sylvanus Marston (1883-1946), Garrett Van Pelt (1879-1972), and Edgar Maybury (1889-1969). Both Mr. Marston and Mr. Van Pelt became Fellows of the American Institute of Architects.

Howland House was originally designated as 1750 Verdugo Canyon Road. Verdugo Canyon Road later became part of North Verdugo Road. About 1949, Sherer Lane was created and was named after John Calvin Sherer (1852-1949), Glendale pioneer, early City official, unofficial Glendale historian, and a booster of all things Glendale.
Despite being on Sherer Lane, Howland House retained its Verdugo Road address until 1961, when it was designated 1827 Sherer Lane. In 1968, the street number was changed again, to 1837 Sherer Lane.
Howland House sits on a portion of Lot 8 of the Verdugo Estates tract, which was subdivided in 1907 by the Verdugo family heirs to Teodoro and Catalina Verdugo's portion of the Rancho San Rafael land grant. Dora Verdugo Bullock, noted Glenda Ii an, was one of the owners of the property at the time. Mrs. Bullock lived nearby, at what is now 1919 North Verdugo Road, from 1911 to 1936.
Before the current house was built, a three-room dwelling was erected on the property in 1922, and the structure was expanded in 1924.
An August 14, 1925 entry Southwest Builder and Contractor states that a 10-room, two-story residence was being constructed at 1750 Verdugo for Charles Howland based on plans drawn up by the arcnitecturai firm of Marston, Van P-eit & Maybury. The item noted.that CR. Greenougn nad been awarded the construction contract. The cost to build 1750 Verdugo in 1925 was $22,275, a substantial sum for a house in those days. The house was completed in early 1926.
The irregular shape of the lot on which Howland House sits, the location of the house on the lot, and the shape of the lot next door at 1861 Sherer Lane suggest that 1837 and 1861 Sherer were once a single lot. However, there is nothing in the permit records that indicates a subdivision of the two properties.

Originally from Oakland, California, Mr. Marston was a graduate of Cornell College. He returned to California after college and embarked on a career in architecture. In 1913, he formed a partnership with Mr. Van Pelt. Mr. Van Pelt was born in Wisconsin and came to southern California about 1910. Mr. Maybury was born in Minnesota and moved with his father to Seattle in the early 1900s. He attended the University of Washington and the University of California at Berkeley.

Greenough The builder of Howland House was C. (Carl) R. Greenough of San Gabriel. He was born in Michigan in 1876, and his family moved to Kansas before he was three. In the 1910s and early 1920s he worked as a carpenter/house builder in Tulare County CA. He moved to San Gabriel by 1924 and remained there until he died in 1952. Greenough built several houses near the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, at 1125 Armada Drive (1927, designed by Marston & Maybury), 655 Prospect Crescent (1928), and 560 Rosemont Avenue (1927). Original Owners: Charles H. and Mary May Howland The original owners of 1750 Verdugo were Charles Henry Howland and Mary May (Smith) Howland. Mr. Howland was born in Ontario, Canada on March 25, 1863. He came to the U.S. in 1884 and was naturalized in 1892. Mr. Howland was a civil engineer, but was retired when he lived at 1750 Verdugo Canyon. From 1881- 1882, Mr. Howland served as an assistant on astronomical surveys for the Canadian government and, from 1882-1884, as a land inspector with the Hudson Bay Company. In 1884, he moved to California and settled in Los Angeles where he became involved in surveying and civil engineering. He joined the California National Guard of California and rose to the rank of Major before retiring about 1916. In 1888, Mr. Howland married Grace Elisabeth Freeman in Los Angeles. Grace Howland was born in Ontario, Canada on January 31, 1870. Her family immigrated to the U.S. in approximately 1873. Grace Howland's father was Daniel Freeman, founder of Inglewood, California (he named Inglewood after his birthplace in Canada). Mr. Freeman became wealthy growing barley, citrus, and almonds on the Rancho Aguaje de la Centinela, and for a time the family lived in the Centinela Adobe on the ranch. Mr. Howland became a business partner of his father-in-law, and it would appear that Mr. Howland's wealth was a result of this family relationship. Together, they managed real estate investments, organized the Conservative Life Insurance Company of Los Angeles, and operated the Continuous Brick Kiln Company. The Howlands lived with Grace Howland's family in Inglewood and Los Angeles until at least 1910. Subsequently, they lived in the Centinela Adobe in Inglewood. Charles and Grace apparently divorced about 1924, and Mr. Howland married Mary May Smith shortly thereafter. Grace Howland remained in Inglewood until she passed away in 1956. {There is no record of Grace Howland having lived in Glendale or having any association with Howland House.) Mary May Smith was also born in Canada, in 1868. She immigrated in 1883 and also became a U.S. citizen. Charles and Mary May were married sometime before October 1924. Mr. Howland passed away in Los Angeles County on September 12, 1934. Mary May Howland remained at 1750 Verdugo until her death in 1942. They are interred at Angelus Rosebud Cemetery in Los Angeles. In 1930, the Howlands employed Harry S. Kamashita as a servant at 1750 Verdugo. Mr. Kamashita was born in Japan in 1882 and moved to the U.S. in 1900. In 1940, Gertrude Barrett lived in the house and served as a cook. Subsequent Owners Following the Howlands, Thorton G. and Irene B. (Cushing) Douglas resided at 1750 Verdugo. Mr. Douglas, who was born in Alabama in 1898, was a public accountant with Price Waterhouse.

The Douglas family lived at 1750 Verdugo for only a few years and departed by 1947. Mrs. Douglas died in 1966, and Mr. Douglas passed away in 1981. Arthur J. and Sybil M.

By 1930, he was married to the former Anna M. Gilbertson and living in Los Angeles, working as a salesman for an oil company. In 1940, the couple were living in San Francisco and Mr. Donnelly was the general manager for an oil company. Anna Donnelly died in December 1942 in San Francisco, at the age of 39. Arthur subsequently married Sybil Margaret Gibson, who was born in Pasadena in 1917. Sybil had a brief early marriage that ended in divorce. At the time he lived at 1750 Verdugo, Mr. Donnelly was employed by the General Petroleum Corpor-at1on (Mobil-Oil.). The Donne!lvs remained at 1750 Verdugo unt!! about August 1962, when they moved to 1458 Royal Boulevard in Glendale. Mr. Donnelly passed away in Indian Wells, California in 1983. Sybil Donnelly remarried, and she passed away in 2002, also in Indian Wells. There were no resident listings for the property in 1962, 1963, and 1964. In 1965, Ronald 0 . and Darlene K. Lex lived at 1827 Sherer. {As there are no listings for 1837 Sherer in that year, and the house currently at 1827 was not built until 1977, it appears the city directory did not update the address of the residence.) Born in Wisconsin in 1931, Mr. Lex worked for Trojan Masonry at the time he lived at the house. He passed away in 2016. No other information could be found on them. There was no resident listing for the property in 1967. Raymond J. and Jacquelyn M. (Pruner) Byrne lived at 1827 Sherer from 1968 to 1973. (Again, the city directory appears to have used the old address.) Mr. Byrne was born in 1928. He was a Golden Gloves boxer who became Midwest Middleweight champion. He served seven years in the U.S . Marine Corps and worked as an operating engineer and a teamster before attending Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. He was admitted to the California Bar in 1964 and worked in the Los Angeles District Attorney's office for almost 10 years. In 1973, he became a deputy district attorney in Sonoma County. In 1980, he was elected mun·idpai)udge ·in -S·onoma C::oun·ty. He iosfhis reeiection bid.in I !f8'6 and subsequeritiy ceased practicing law. He later moved to the Pacific Northwest. Mrs. Byrne was born about 1938, and the couple married in Los Angeles in 1960. No other information was discovered on Mrs. Byrne. There are no records of residents of 1837 Sherer from 1974 to 1976. From approximately 1977 until 2018, Howland House was owned by Edward J. and Joan Marie tBouroon"} "Gimey.

In early 1888, Daniel Freeman had discovered a deposit of brick clay on his property at Inglewood, Los Angeles County, California, and was interested in developing it. Freeman was born in Nissouri, Ontario, Canada, in 1837. In 1866, he married Catherine Christie and they raised three children. While traveling by train through the Southern States in 1873, wife Catherine was suffering from consumption. A newsboy gave Freeman a book entitled Nordhoffs California, and after reading it, Freeman decided to take his ailing wife to California. They first arrived in San Francisco and Freeman set out to look for property. In September 1873, he chose the Centinela rancho at Inglewood, comprising 25,000 acres, and leased it for 5 years with an option to purchase it. He purchased this and additional land in the area and became a major landowner. He raised sheep and later grew barley and wheat. Unfortunately, his wife died in 187 4 after they had settled on the rancho. · rrr.- I :, . C · ! r 8 # 8 f •~ I ' 3 <> • ~., •• 41 Map of part oflnglewood showing the location of the Continuous Brick Kiln Company yard on the far right as "Brick Yd Reserve." From Rueger, 1903. The clay deposit of interest was along a narrow strip of land on the north side of the Ballena branch of the California Central Railway (now Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway). The clay pit extended from La Brea Avenue on the west 3,500 feet to North Park Avenue on the east and was about 600 feet wide and over 30 feet deep. On March 23 , i888, Freeman and his partner Charies Siieni contracted with the Continuous Kiln Company of Omaha, Nebraska, to build the Boehncke patent continuous kiln on his property at Inglewood. Silent assigned all his interests to Freeman in May 1888. The patent rights for the kiln and drier cost $7,000. Max A. Boehncke, the inventor of the kiln, was the plant superintendent. Boehncke had formed his own company called the Centinela Brick-Kiln and Drier Company to promote his new kiln and drier. Boehncke began ordering the materials and equipment for the Inglewood yard in April 1888. The brickyard was completed by September 1889. The piant stood about where La Coiina Drive is currentiy iocated. Max A. Boehncke, Plant Superintendent. From The Clay-Worker, 1894. The continuous kiln was an oblong structure in plan view with a 130-foot tall round stack sitting beside it on one end connected to the kiln by an underground flue. The kiln contained 16 compartments and the whole structure was 93 feet long, 45 feet wide, and 12 feet high, and protected inside a wooden building. The 1-mus1-rnl featme of this permanent kiln was the use of green brick sandwiched between burnt brick in the walls. It's capacity was 10,000 bricks per day or 9 million per year. Coal screenings were used for fuel. There were three large drying sheds containing 100,000 pallets to set the green bricks upon for drying using waste heat from the kiln. This allowed the brickyard to manufacture bricks all year round. The brick plant consisted of two Creager crushing and grinding mills, two Quaker pug mills with a tf'\t!:11 r-,::,n,::,r-ih, f'lf7n hrir-lr ,:, 1, \ • '' , ' 4, 1"' \ In I •"'I I I, • p , 41# _,1 • r"ll J •' • '- • ,..,., ~' : Lp ,.'tr.'"l,i,•1 tl, ~' · ,I ,:r4:• , .t ~ .4" -., 4,·c , • !1' .. ,. 1 1•1 •o .. l ' · · ·~ n> O)p,.; • iTl'll -f ct.. llv t • , t.~r.. 1· ,; '!'I.-, 1 r l II· r ·t, ,, :1f r'!•u I ) 1 ;?Z ,44• " ' ,r1• \.l' t" r.1· r "' • .. ~ u,r.,; h( "l':,e.·~,1...11 .. , 'Ir a - • • '\1 t,JI d -.:i~.· 11.~:- ll:r s; ,l I "r1 -~ , ,1 , •,..~- It oi t:.r!1• 1, •,t, V 'tl I 'l f ,,, ', 1 , , • I• ~ • .a 'l Cl J • t \ AU.a ' I l • , I 4- 1 I j I• l r f , 1 l..' ._ r. ,, ,. l1 , 'J. ., JI ,.

CAL. CENTHIELI BRICK-IILI IND DRIER CO,, LO~ ANGELE'!. COUNTY, P. O. CENTINELA, CAL Advertisement showing the continuous kiln at Inglewood. From The Brickmaker, 1893. On June 13, 1888, the Continuous Brick Kiln Company oflnglewood was incorporated with a capital stock of $50,000, divided into 50 shares of$1,000 each. The directors were Daniel Freeman, president; Lionel A. Sheldon, vice-president; Charles H. Howland, secretary; A.C. Freeman, treasurer; and W.H. Bonsall. Archibald C. Freeman was the eldest son of Daniel Freeman and Charles H. Howland was married to Daniel's daughter Grace. On August 21 , 1890, the Southern California Continuous Kiln Company was incorporated to handle the patent rights assigned to Daniel Freeman and the business transactions with the Continuous Kiln Company of Omaha. The capital stock was $60,000, divided by 60 shares at $1 ,000 each. The directors were Daniel Freeman, Archibald C. Freeman, Charles Freeman, George Cochran, and Frank H. Suffel. Daniel Freeman was president and George Cochran was secretary and treasurer. The bricks produced were described as being uniform in color and quality. Hard bricks were the most desired but apparently soft bricks constituted about 20 percent of each burn. Common bricks were formed in sanded six-brick molds and pressed bricks were made in the repress machines. In June 1888, the California Central Railway ran a spur line into the brickyard and the brick company contracted with it to supply cars for shipping the bricks to Inglewood for 56 cents per 1,000 and to Los Angeles and Redondo Beach for $1.12 per 1,000 bricks. The first order for bricks came in September 1889 for the Los Angeles Orphan Asylum at Boyle Heights. In March 1890, 8,000 bricks were sent to the State Reform School at Whittier. In December 1890, 600,000 bricks went into the buildings at the Soldiers Home at Sawtelle. From December 1891 to May 1892, 3.5 million bricks were manufactured for the Bradbury Building afBroadway and Third streets in Los Angeles. These were used in the rear, side, and inner walls of the building and provide the examples of their common bricks shown below. In December 1892, 650,000 bricks went into the depot for the Southern California Railway in Los Angeles. In 1892 and 1893, nearly 3 million bricks were used in the sewer outfall line. In 1894, bricks were shipped to the Irvine Building on Broadway in Los Angeles. On December 20, 1894, the brick company was indebted to Daniel Freeman to the amount of $40,000. As a result the brick company filed a quit claim and assigned all its properties to Freeman. The Continuous Brick Kiln Company was dissolved. For many years afterwards, Daniel Freeman leased the brickyard to other parties. He died in 1918. Continuous Brick Kiln Company Brick Common brick is pale orange red, orange-red, and red and mostly uniform in color. The surface has a gritty feei due to the quartz-sand coating of mostiy subanguiar, orange-stained, transiucent quartz. The external surfaces of the sides contain pits as much as one inch across and exposed clasts of subrounded to subangular red sandstone, yellow clay, and white quartz and granite, as much as 3/4 inch in diameter. The percentage of clasts seen on the surface ranges from 4 percent to 10 percent, apparently increasing with higher degree of erosion. However, most of the bricks in the building are painted over so these numbers may not be representative and other features that may be present are hidden. On some bricks, irregular lip up to 1/4 inch thick is seen around the top edges of the brick, some with doubie iips. The form is good with siightiy unduiating and neariy sharp edges and neariy sharp corners. The edges are often chipped. Some bricks show stack indentations, some oriented at an angle to the sides. The lighter colored bricks, which are underfired, tend to spall easily, some turning to a soft powder that erodes easily. These may be the soft bricks that are usually rejected, but they were apparently used in the walls of the Bradbury Building. The top and bottom faces of the brick could not be observed. The interior clay body has quite a range of internal clasts. In some bricks, the clasts are 3 percent, while in others, they are as high as 15 percent, perhaps reflecting different types of material from the clay pit. The clasts are mostly subangular white quartz and granite, rounded yellow clay, and subrounded red sandstone, ranging up to 1/4 inch in diameter. Some bricks contain mostly fine white quartz and granite clasts, while others have mostly white granite and red sandstone. These are in a porous (5 percent) orange-red clay body. This brick was made using the soft-mud process. Length 8, width 3 3/4, height 2 1/4 inches.
