Everett Street Page 2 of 3 SUMMARY The Restovich House was built in Angelino Heights in 1905 for owner John Restovich, an immigrant from Croatia. The house may have been designed in the Neoclassical Revival style to emulate homes in the coastal Dalmatia region where he grew up. The architect and contractor for the house is unknown. John Restovich came to Los Angeles in the early 1880s and found work as a waiter. He eventually owned his own restaurant, earning him enough money to buy some land and build a house. Angelino Heights, one of the first suburbs of Los Angeles, was originally subdivided by William Stilson for the local elite in the construction boom of the 1880s, but development slowed soon after. When the economy picked back up after Stilson’s death, his wife, Mary, and son, Fielding, began selling the rest of the Angelino Heights lots. Although the land on Everett Street surrounding Everett Park is not part of the Angelino Heights HPOZ, it was part of the original Angeleno Heights subdivision. The street is named for William Stilson’s business partner Everett E. Hall. Around 1900, Mary Stilson sold the lot at 1001 Everett Street to Timothy S. Abbott; he then sold it to John Restovich, who built his home there in 1905. The property was held within the Restovich family until 2000. The two-story Neoclassical Revival house sits at the crest of a ridge and faces Everett Park, a large open space in the center of the cul de sac. The front façade is made up of a large full- length porch supported by three Tuscan columns with an arched opening on the interior of the porch that leads to the front door. This same arched opening is repeated in the sleeping porch on the second story. The sleeping porch is enclosed with two over one multi-light windows. Decorative corbels support the boxed eaves of the low pitched hipped roof. The house is clad in wood clapboard siding, which is wider on the front façade and narrower on the side and rear facades. Intact interior features include hardwood floors, original hardware, wainscoting, coved ceilings, a built-in buffet, and a fireplace mantle with Ionic columns. The citywide historic resources survey, SurveyLA, found the property eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Places and the National Register of Historic Places, as well as eligible for designation as a Historic-Cultural Monument as a rare intact example of early residential development in Angelino Heights and as a unique example of Neoclassical influences applied to a residential building. CRITERIA The criterion is the Cultural Heritage Ordinance which defines a historical or cultural monument as any site (including significant trees or other plant life located thereon) building or structure of particular historic or cultural significance to the City of Los Angeles, such as historic structures or sites in which the broad cultural, economic, or social history of the nation, State or community is reflected or exemplified, or which are identified with historic personages or with important events in the main currents of national, State or local history or which embody the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction, or a notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose individual genius influenced his age. CHC-2015-4006-HCM 1001 N. Everett Street Page 3 of 3 FINDINGS Based on the facts set forth in the summary and application, the Commission determines that the application is complete and that the property may be significant enough to warrant further investigation as a potential Historic-Cultural Monument. !"#%&'%(&)%*+,-(-) &``1HV%Q`%314 Q`1H%7V4Q%`HV4L!%C %`:C%3V`1 :$V%!QII1441QJ BC1>D9C5R5A>92A()D.)G.> +&?"+*#"&+%'&7? 8 #$%#&$')*+&,'*-*./'*%, !`Q]Q%VR()QJ%IVJ (.:IV7 Restovich House First Owner/Tenant 1 `VV (2RR`V%%7 1001 N.

  • Illyrian Religion and Nation As Zero Institution
    Studies in Visual Arts and Communication: an international journal Vol 3, No 1 (2016) on-line ISSN 2393 - 1221 Illyrian religion and nation as zero institution Josipa Lulić * Abstract The main theoretical and philosophical framework for this paper are Louis Althusser's writings on ideology, and ideological state apparatuses, as well as Rastko Močnik’s writings on ideology and on the nation as the zero institution. This theoretical framework is crucial for deconstructing some basic tenants in writing on the religious sculpture in Roman Dalmatia, and the implicit theoretical constructs that govern the possibilities of thought on this particular subject. This paper demonstrates how the ideological construct of nation that ensures the reproduction of relations of production of modern societies is often implicitly or explicitly projected into the past, as trans-historical construct, thus soliciting anachronistic interpretations of the material remains of past societies. This paper uses the interpretation of religious sculpture in Roman Dalmatia as a case study to stress the importance of the critique of ideology in the art history. The religious sculpture in Roman Dalmatia has been researched almost exclusively through the search for the presumed elements of Illyrian religion in visual representations; the formulation of the research hypothesis was firmly rooted into the idea of nation as zero institution, which served as the default framework for various interpretations. In this paper I try to offer some alternative interpretations, intending not to give definite answers, but to open new spaces for research. Keywords: Roman sculpture, province of Dalmatia, nation as zero institution, ideology, Rastko Močnik, Louis Althusser.

  • Framing Croatia's Politics of Memory and Identity
    Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER WORKSHOP: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Author: Taylor A. McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Title: “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Date: 3 April 2018 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Taylor McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Web: taylormcconnell.com | Twitter: @TMcConnell_SSPS | E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the development of Croatian memory politics and the construction of a new Croatian identity in the aftermath of the 1990s war for independence. Using the public “face” of memory – monuments, museums and commemorations – I contend that Croatia’s narrative of self and self- sacrifice (hence “KRVatska” – a portmanteau of “blood/krv” and “Croatia/Hrvatska”) is divided between praising “defenders”/“branitelji”, selectively remembering its victims/“žrtve”, and silencing the Serb minority. While this divide is partially dependent on geography and the various ways the Croatian War for Independence came to an end in Dalmatia and Slavonia, the “defender” narrative remains preeminent. As well, I discuss the division of Croatian civil society, particularly between veterans’ associations and regional minority bodies, which continues to disrupt amicable relations among the Yugoslav successor states and places Croatia in a generally undesired but unshakable space between “Europe” and the Balkans. 1 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................................................

The Marina has all the amenities and a large pool that shortens the time to check-in. If you start your holiday from our base Veruda, you should definitely make a short detour to Pula at the beginning or end of your journey. UNJE The small island of Unje is strikingly green and wildly overgrown with sage, rockro- se, laurel, lavender, rosemary and thyme. Especially in spring it smells wonderful. The few inhabitants live in the only town, their houses are aligned circularly towards the sea. Trails lead across the entire island and to the two lighthouses. Susak Susak is a small, gently rolling island with only 3.7 km². In Susak time seems to have stood still. The streets are lined with flowering shrubs and well maintained. The island has great sandy coves. It is best to anchor in Porat or to moor in the harbor of Susak.

    LINGUA MONTENEGRINA, god. XIII/1, br. 25, Cetinje, 2020. Fakultet za crnogorski jezik i književnost UDK 070:929Bettiza E. Izvorni naučni rad Josip MILETIĆ (Zadar) University of Zadar [email protected] Tea TEREZA VIDOVIĆ-SCHREIBER (Split) University of Split [email protected] DALMATIA – BETTIZA’S LOST HOMELAND The paper analyses the potential of Bettiza’s fiction for the deve- lopment of Croatian and Italian cultural relations as well as tourist promotion of the Croatian historical region of Dalmatia. Particular attention is focused on the novel Exile, in which the author writes a family chronicle by evoking his Split roots. At the same time, he describes the atmosphere, customs and picturesque figures of Dal- matian towns in the interwar period, the encounter of Slavic and Roman culture, as well as the destiny of the Italian population there who, due to the turmoil of war and socialist revolution, decided to leave their homeland. Reception of Bettiza’s work, as an account of an individual history that is completely different from the written (national), the collective history, can positively affect the Italian perception of Dalmatia as a tourist destination, and it can improve the distorted image of Croats living there, which has been created for decades in Italy, through the activist action of extreme groups, therefore it can be of multiple use. Proving that not all Italians for- cibly left their former homeland, but that a part of them left freely seeking a better life for themselves and their families not seeing any perspective in the upcoming communism, allows for the constructi- on of bridges between Slavic and Roman culture, and an even better and more effective tourism promotion of this Croatian region in the context of Italian tourist interests.

  • Vina Croatia
    Wines of CROATIA unique and exciting Croatia as a AUSTRIA modern country HUNGARY SLOVENIA CROATIA Croatia, having been eager to experience immediate changes, success and recognition, has, at the beginning of a new decade, totally altered its approach to life and business. A strong desire to earn quick money as well as rapid trade expansion have been replaced by more moderate, longer-term investment projects in the areas of viticulture, rural tourism, family hotels, fisheries, olive growing, ecological agriculture and superior restaurants. BOSNIA & The strong first impression of international brands has been replaced by turning to traditional HERZEGOVINA products, having their origins in a deep historic heritage. The expansion of fast-food chains was brought to a halt in the mid-1990’s as multinational companies understood that investment would not be returned as quickly as had been planned. More ambitious restaurants transformed into centres of hedonism, whereas small, thematic ones offering several fresh and well-prepared dishes are visited every day. Tradition and a return to nature are now popular ITALY Viticulture has been fully developed. Having superior technology at their disposal, a new generation of well-educated winemakers show firm personal convictions and aims with clear goals. The rapid growth of international wine varietals has been hindered while local varietals that were almost on the verge of extinction, have gradually gained in importance. Not only have the most prominent European regions shared their experience, but the world’s renowned wine experts have offered their consulting services. Biodynamic movement has been very brisk with every wine region bursting with life.

  • Influence of 1991-1995 War on Breast-Feeding in Croatia: Questionnaire Study
    41(2):186-190,2000 PUBLIC HEALTH Influence of 1991-1995 War on Breast-feeding in Croatia: Questionnaire Study Zora Zakanj, Giovana Armano1, Josip Grguriæ, Vesna Herceg-Èavrak Children’s Hospital Zagreb; and 1Private Pediatric Office, Zagreb, Croatia Aim. To investigate the influence of 1991-1995 war on the prevalence, duration, and practice of breast-feeding Croatian children up to 5 years of age. Method. In 1996, interviews were conducted in households with children up to 2 years of age (757 children) and 2-5 years of age (1,180 children). Data for war-free areas, war-affected areas, and areas liberated after several years of occupation were analyzed separately. Results. In 1996, 94.6% of mothers started breast-feeding, which lasted for an average of 3.4±2.9 months. The proportion of mothers who started breast-feeding did not vary with respect to either war-related or geographic areas of the country. Breast-feeding was significantly longer in war-free than in war-affected areas (3.7±3.1 vs. 2.7±2.1 months, respectively; p=0.015). The duration of breast-feeding in Croatia’s geographic regions, Istria, Hrvatsko Primorje, and Gorski Kotar, was significantly longer than in Slavonia (3.9±3.4 vs. 3.4±3.0, respec- tively; p=0.037). On the country level, 49.4% of babies were fed on demand and 43.3% according to a daily schedule. The percent of children who were not breast-fed was significantly higher (p=0.002) in the older age group (2-5 years of age, 9.3%) than in the younger age group (up to 2 years of age, 5.4%).
