Refer to www.HistoricPlacesLA.org for information on designated resources associated with this context as well as those identified through SurveyLA and other surveys. CONTRIBUTOR Daniel Prosser is a historian and preservation architect. He holds an M.Arch. from Ohio State University and a Ph.D. in history from Northwestern University. Before retiring, Prosser was the Historic Sites Architect for the Kansas State Historical Society. INTRODUCTION The “Pre-Consolidation Communities of Los Angeles” context examines those communities that were at one time independent, self-governing cities. These include (presented here as themes): Wilmington, San Pedro, Hollywood, Sawtelle, Eagle Rock, Hyde Park, Venice, Watts, Barnes City, and Tujunga. This context traces the history of each of these cities (up to the point of consolidation with the City of Los Angeles), identifying important individuals and patterns of settlement and development, and then links the events and individuals to extant historic resources (individual resources and historic districts). -

Lemon Grove Bikeway Master Plan Update
LEMON GROVE BIKEWAY MASTER PLAN UPDATE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT GPA06-001 ADOPTED NOVEMBER 1, 2006 Prepared for: City of Lemon Grove Prepared by: Alta Planning + Design 1. INTRODUCTION The Lemon Grove Bikeway Master Plan provides a blueprint for making bicycling an integral part of daily life in Lemon Grove. After nearly a decade of bicycle facility development guided by the Bicycle Facilities Sub-Element of the General Plan, Lemon Grove now has a solid network of primary bikeways that provide connections to destinations throughout the city as well as links to the regional bikeway system. This Bikeway Master Plan seeks to build upon this foundation– to enhance and expand the existing bikeway network, connect gaps, address constrained areas, provide for greater local and regional connectivity, and encourage even more residents to bicycle. The Bikeway Plan provides for an updated system of bike lanes, bike routes and bike paths, identifies necessary support facilities such as bicycle parking, and recommends a variety of programs to allow for safe, efficient and convenient bicycle travel within Lemon Grove and connecting to regional destinations. The Plan covers the “4 E’s” of planning for bicyclists – Engineering, Education, Encouragement, and Enforcement – recognizing that an approach that draws from all 4 E’s will be the most successful in improving safety and increasing the number of Lemon Grove residents bicycling for work, shopping, school, and recreation. 1.1. WHY BICYCLING? The bicycle is a low-cost and effective means of transportation that is quiet, non- polluting, extremely energy-efficient, versatile, healthy, and fun. Bicycles also offer low-cost mobility to the non-driving public. -
The Watts Towers from Eyesore to Icon: Race and the Spaces of Outsider Art
The Watts Towers from Eyesore to Icon: Race and the Spaces of Outsider Art By Emma R. Silverman A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Julia Bryan-Wilson, Chair Professor Margaretta M. Lovell Professor Darcy Grimaldo Grigsby Professor Charles L. Briggs Summer 2018 Abstract The Watts Towers from Eyesore to Icon: Race and the Spaces of Outsider Art by Emma R. Silverman Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Julia Bryan-Wilson, Chair Starting around 1921, Sabato (Sam) Rodia (1879–1965) began to build an unusual environment in his backyard in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. Although he had no formal training in art or architecture, Rodia used concrete-covered steel embellished with intricate mosaics of tile, shell, and glass to create a series of elaborate sculptures, including three central towers that rise nearly one hundred feet in height. For over three decades Rodia’s creation received scant public recognition, and in 1954 Rodia left Los Angeles, never to return. The story of how a single individual worked alone to create such a monumental structure is awe-inspiring; however, the life the site took on after Rodia’s departure is equally remarkable. In the postwar period California’s perceived provinciality relegated it to the fringes of the New York-centered art world. -
