It is a well-researched document that was carried out to professional standards and it will continue to be used by the City in conjunction with the updated material that follows. The themes outlined in the 1997 Historic Context Statement convey Carmel’s early development and the influences that shaped the City until 1940. In association with the thematic history, the 1997 Historic Context Statement identifies associated resource types and significance. The 1997 Historic Context Statement has been updated by Architectural Resources Group of San Francisco (ARG) to extend and incorporate the 25-year period, 1940-1965. In accordance with National Register Bulletin 24, this updated document, like the 1997 version, covers a broad pattern of historical development in this community. This document expands on those early patterns of the development of the City that continued through the 1940-1965 period. In some cases, but not all, the themes of the first half of the 20th century covered in the 1997 document are relevant through 1965. To update the Historic Context Statement, ARG’s methodology has been as follows: undertake extensive documentary research and some fieldwork to review resources that relate to the development of the City between 1940 and 1965; conduct research at local libraries, archives and repositories. Typically, relevant permits would be researched as part of the process; however, building and new construction permits from the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea for the period 1940- 1965 were not available for this project. Based on research and fieldwork, ARG developed applicable contexts relating to the 1940 to 1965 period. Rewriting the 1997 Historic Context Statement was not part of the scope of this update, though minor edits for clarity were made. The 1997 Historic Resources Survey and updated information relating to the 1940-1965 period is presented here as one volume. 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Historic Context Statement A historic context statement is a technical document containing specific sections mandated by the Secretary of the Interior in National Register Bulletin 16. The Bulletin defines a historic context as “a body of information about historic properties organized by theme, place, and time.” Historic context is linked with tangible historic resources through the concept of property type. A property type is a “grouping of individual properties based on shared physical or associative characteristics.” A historic context statement is one of many tools used by municipalities as part of a comprehensive preservation program. Its purpose is to provide a framework for identifying historic resources, determining their relative significance, and applying the criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The Historic Context Statement is to be used in conjunction with the City’s General Plan policies regarding historic preservation and the Preservation Ordinance found in Municipal Code chapter 17.32 to identify historic resources and is not a stand-alone document. 4 Throughout the Historic Context Statement specific place names, properties and individuals are included to clarify historical patterns and provide richer detail. Examples are included solely to illustrate physical and associative characteristics of each theme and/or property type. The specific reference to an existing property within the Historic Context Statement is not a determination of historic significance at the present time, rather it signifies that the property contributes to a particular historical theme. Designation of a property as a historic resource is determined on an individual basis following a survey and evaluation process and ultimately reflects a judgment by the City that the property is significant. The Context Statement is not meant to be all-inclusive, and exclusion from this report is not intended to diminish the significance of any individual historic resource or person. 1.2 Location and Boundaries of Carmel-by-the-Sea Carmel-by-the-Sea is located on the Monterey Peninsula. It is approximately one square mile in area and is generally bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, Highway One to the east, the community of Pebble Beach to the north, and the Carmel River to the south. 1.3 Community Character and Values When established in 1902, development in Carmel was greatly influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement. Much of the unique character of Carmel-by-the-Sea results from this Arts and Crafts influence coupled with an appreciation of the City’s natural environment. Elements of the natural environment such as topography, vegetation and climate, shaped the human response to the built environment. As the community developed, efforts were made to adapt the man-made elements to the underlying natural elements. In the residential districts, roads are typically narrow and curve and undulate to follow the topography and make room for trees. In the commercial districts, sidewalks curve and are frequently interrupted by trees and mini-parks. Most shops and businesses are built to face open sidewalks and interior or exterior courtyards in acknowledgment of the mild weather. The.

  • Coastal Resource Management Element
    Coastal Resource Management Element General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan Coastal Resource Management Element C OASTAL R ESOURCE M ANAGEMENT E LEMENT Introduction This element of the General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan includes policies for protection of the City’s coastal environmental resources including the character of its forest, beach and bluffs, water quality and Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHAs). As noted in the previous element (Access and Recreation), there is little private land located between the first public road and the shoreline. The City owns nearly the entire beach. This eliminates many of the potential conflicts that other communities face between development and resource preservation objectives along the immediate coastline. However, the City’s biological resources are found in a variety of other locations, and require protection under the Coastal Act. (LUP) Coastal Resource Management Background Environmental Setting The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea is located in a region of California’s central coast that is known for its diversity of plants and plant communities. The region surrounding the city supports several different climatic, topographic, and soil conditions, resulting in a wide variety of habitats. This diversity of conditions supports many native plants and wildlife species. As an example of this diversity, 146 plant species reach their most southern and 156 plant species reach their most northern distributional limits in Monterey County, and at least 34 plant species are found only in Monterey County. (LUP) Residential development occurs on almost all land in the city, except for seven parks, several mini-parks, a compact centralized commercial area and some privately owned parcels in Pescadero Canyon.

This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.

  • Constance Lindsay Skinner and the Birthright
    "VANCOUVER'S FIRST PLAYWRIGHT": Constance Lindsay Skinner and The Birthright JEAN BARMAN T CONSTANCE LINDSAY SKINNERS death in New York City in 1939, Time magazine described her as a "novelist, historian, Ajournalist" who "wrote mostly of frontier life."1 The assessment was apt and caught the essence of the woman. Born in 1877 in the Cariboo region of British Columbia, Constance worked for news­ papers in Vancouver, Los Angeles, and Chicago before moving to New York City in 1912. In making her living as a writer she drew repeatedly on the BC frontier of her childhood - never more so than in her play The Birthright. Constance Lindsay Skinner may have been Vancouver's, and possibly British Columbia's, first playwright to be professionally staged.2 In January 1912, her Biblical play David inaugurated the Forest Theater in the artists' colony of Carmel, California, whereupon the Vancouver Province newspaper dubbed her "Vancouver's First Playwright."3 Six 1 "Milestones," Time, 10 April 1939,72. On Constance Lindsay Skinner's life, see Jean Barman, Constance Lindsay Skinner: Writing on the Frontier (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2002). I am grateful to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for making possible the research upon which this essay and the book draw. Bob McDonald, Jerry Wasserman, Joan Bryans, and two insightful reviewers have shepherded the essay to publication, and I thank them. 2 Numerous persons living in British Columbia or identifying with the province wrote plays prior to Constance's entry into the genre in the 1890s.
