Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) (Continued): (See Attachment D, Photographs) The subject property at 2815 28th Street is a large hipped roof two-story home with an upper level full width front balcony and a cantilevered front entry porch roof. The roof displays wide extending enclosed eaves with cornice edge detail that wraps around the home on the upper level. The front entry porch and upper level balcony are both surrounded by a crenulated solid railing. The open porch is sheltered by cantilevered shed roof which is supported by decorative brackets seen below the enclosed eave. The house utilizes a rectangular form and is constructed of hollow clay tiles. The home is surfaced in stucco and features large window groupings to take advantage of the expansive Balboa Park view. It is a rare and unusual almost modern example of the Prairie style built in 1920. The home has undergone a recent extensive multi-year restoration. The subject resource features the character defining features indicative of the Prairie school architectural style while incorporating some elements of Mission Revival styles. The home utilizes a strong horizontal emphasis with wide projecting eaves with long banded eave fascia boards. The two-story house has a one-story porch and balcony which is another character defining feature of the Prairie style. The front porch roof cover extends out with matching enclosed eave supported by decorative brackets. It has an unattached rear garage with a long side driveway. Prairie Architectural Style. Prairie style architects and designers such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan began developing this influential and original, American architectural style in the suburban neighborhoods in the Midwest regions around Chicago, inspired by the horizontal plains of the region. The so-called Prairie School focused on letting the home or building's inherent structure and form serve as its design attraction rather than through the use of applied ornamentation and decoration. The style is also characterized by its strong expression of form. The architects and designers in this unique style explored relating homes to the surrounding environment and utilized simple natural materials with an emphasis on horizontal lines. One of the most important new concepts explored in the style was the opening up of the inside interior spaces with a new simplified open interior plans with rooms with living areas defined by built-in furniture and panels. Wright and others attempted to "break down the box" by opening up the small interior rooms which were largely used on residential designs up to that point. The style grew out of the Midwestern region with vernacular forms but was short lived, lasting only about twenty years from approximately 1900-1920, with Wright's famous Robie House being an influential example of the style. The style is recognized as one of the earliest modern styles and for being a truly American art form that was wildly influential to many other architectural styles, such as the European International style of the 1930's and the Ranch style of the 1950's. The subject resource represents this Prairie design and ethos with its square Cubist style massing and structure showing a clear expression of its form. The home shows limited use of added materials and ornamentation. The structure expresses its function without the use of extensive applied decoration. The wide horizontal hipped roof with banded cornice and solid balcony balustrade emphasize the horizontal lines of the home. Horizontal design lines are also emphasized with the use of the flat roof cantilevered porch roof with widely overhanging eaves, flat square chimney and wide horizontal windows and window bands which are simply framed with almost flush minimal window moldings. The stucco surfacing was the favored exterior material utilized on homes in the Prairie style. This North Park example of the style utilizes a low hipped roof and extending eaves and wide full width balcony. Irving Gill and Gill Inspired Designs. This home also reflects the distinctive original Southern California regional style based on the work of architect Irving J. Gill which predates the later European International and Art Moderne movements of the 1930's. The style derived inspiration from California's Mission Revival and Pueblo vernacular styles. These Spanish forms were often stripped down to the bare essentials and were free of the excessive ornamentation popular at the time. 5 State of California The Resources Agency Primary # DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial Page 5 of 26 *Resource Name or #: The Jesse and Dora Fleming House *Recorded by: Ronald V. May, RPA and Kiley Wallace *Date: January 2019 Continuation Update *P3a. Description (continued): This inspiration was sometimes combined with modern building methods and materials such as tilt up slab concrete or fireproof hollow clay tiles. These Irving Gill and Gill inspired designs are also associated with the San Diego Progressive and Arts and Crafts movements of the time period. Many designs feature communal housing, labor saving designs, natural lighting, cross ventilation and utilization of experimental lower cost building materials and methods.

  • The Balboa Theatre: a Preservation Project Completed
    The Balboa Theatre: A Preservation Project Completed Iris Engstrand “The seats are in. The season is set. The decades of hand-wringing and foot- dragging are done, and a new era for downtown’s Balboa Theatre is almost begun,” exclaimed James Hebert, Arts Writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune, as the historic Balboa Theatre prepared to open its doors for the first time in 22 years.1 The historic Spanish Colonial Revival theater designed by architect William H. Wheeler (1873-1956) and completed in 1924 has welcomed the public for the first time since 1986. Mayor Jerry Sanders used the new facility to deliver his State of the City address on January 10, 2008, and public performances began on January 11. Wheeler, who continued the Mediterranean style of Balboa Park, served for three years as an architectural atelier in his native Australia before emigrating to Vancouver, BC, at age 20. He moved to San Francisco in 1900 to study engineering at the University of California Berkeley and from there to Arizona to work on the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway. An association with John D. Spreckels and a visit to San Diego kept him in the southern city to design such well-known Original theater stage with a replica of the Nuñez de Balboa family’s Coat of Arms and a sketch of a Spanish sixteenth-century caravel featured on the curtain. ©SDHS Sensor #2363-A. 113 The Journal of San Diego History According to former employee Dan Whitehead, “The waterfalls would turn on when the title curtain closed at the end of the show and turn off when the show started.
