City of Huntington Beach Historic Context & Survey Report City of Huntington Beach Historic Context & Survey Report Prepared for: City of Huntington Beach Planning and Building Department 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Prepared by: Galvin Preservation Associates Inc. 231 California Street El Segundo, CA 90245 310.792.2690 * 310.792.2696 (fax) Updated 2014 This survey is a living document and as is the case with other historic research projects, while a vast array of sources was consulted in its preparation, these sources were limited by the scope of work and schedule. Additional information will most likely surface. This is especially true in determining association of a site with a significant person or event. This survey is not and should not be considered a finite list used as such in the future. i Executive Summary The City of Huntington Beach contracted Galvin Preservation Associates Inc. (GPA) in conjunction with Historic Resource Associates to conduct a citywide Historic Resources Survey to identify and evaluate potential historic resources in the city. The project team completed the studies on behalf of and under the guidance of the City of Huntington Beach’s Planning and Building Department with assistance from the Historic Resources Board of Huntington Beach. The historic context and the historical resource survey were developed in accordance with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Historic Preservation and National Register Bulletin 24, Guidelines for Local Survey: A Basis for Preservation Planning. The GPA project team consisted of several professionals that meet the Secretary of Interior’s Professional Qualifications for History and Architectural History. The survey and development of the draft historic context were conducted from September 2008 to October 2009. The final report was completed from November 2009 to May 2010, updated in November, 2012 and finalized in June, 2014. The purpose of the survey is to update and expand the City’s existing 1986 Historic Resources Survey Report and to update the 1996 Historic and Cultural Resources Element (HCRE) of the City’s General Plan. Since the adoption of the HCRE, there has been significant redevelopment in the downtown area where many old buildings are located. There have also been changes to the California Environmental Quality Act as it pertains to historic buildings. The combination of these changes has resulted in increasing conflict between redevelopment and the preservation of resources, and some of the buildings currently identified in the General Plan have since been demolished. The City of Huntington Beach Historic Resources survey included a reconnaissance level survey of all the buildings constructed prior to 1959 within the city limits, focusing on the historic core areas of the city as well as select buildings located outside the isolated core areas as identified on a GIS map provided by the Huntington Beach Planning and Building Department. The outlying areas were recommended by the Historic Resources Board and include Pirates Cove, Wintersburg, Liberty Park, Ocean View, Meadowlark, various farm house sites and the Bolsa Chica. The project included reviewing and updating the previously recorded 1986 survey; however, buildings that were previously identified or evaluated were not re-recorded or evaluated unless the building had undergone significant changes since the 1986 Historic Resources Survey. Updated continuation sheets were completed for buildings that were recorded in 1986 that have since undergone significant alterations. This Survey Report outlines the results (raw data and statistics) of the updated survey and provides recommendations to update the existing facts, figures, goals and policies in the HCRE of the City’s General Plan. The City’s key objective in undertaking this project is to identify historic buildings and possible candidates for historic districts as they pertain to the history and events that have contributed to the development of the City’s built environment and to align current development activity with the City’s policies and regulations that protect and preserve ii those resources for future generations. The recommendations section outlines the properties that the survey team recommends as historic district contributors as well as properties that would qualify as local landmarks within the city. There were a total of 2,403 buildings in the city that were constructed prior to 1959 according to GIS data received from the City. All 2,403 buildings were inventoried and notes were recorded on a spreadsheet and are included in an appendix to this report. In addition to the 2,403 properties provided by the City, GPA also identified additional buildings in the field that appeared to have been constructed prior to 1959 as well as a few properties constructed after 1959 that were recommended by the Historic Resources Board. These properties were added to the inventory list provided by the City. However due to the large number of properties in the city that were constructed prior to 1959, emphasis on recording buildings on individual inventory forms was limited to only those buildings with the highest potential for historical significance. Therefore, the project team triaged the large number of properties and prepared DPR 523 A (Primary Record) Forms for those buildings located within historic districts, select properties within the city’s historic core areas, and any individual building located outside the city core that had the potential for individual significance (i.e. properties that are more than 80 years old with high integrity, properties previously determined historically significant, properties known to be associated with significant individuals, properties less than 50 years old with exceptional significance, etc.). Additionally, the project team prepared a DPR 523B (Building Structure Object Record) for each building that has individual significance (for the National Register or California Register) or for buildings that have had a substantial change in their historical status since prior evaluation. There were several historic contexts that were defined after the preliminary historic research was completed. The historic contexts define how each property was evaluated for historic significance or will be evaluated in the future. The historic contexts are the broad patterns of historical development within the survey area that are represented by the built environment present. Each identified property was then evaluated within its historic context for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NR) or the California Register of Historical Resources (CR). The City of Huntington Beach does not currently have local register criteria; therefore the project team adopted the California Register criteria when evaluating properties for local significance. There were several different resource types that were identified within the area. These resources were broken down into four categories: 1) single-family residences; 2) multi-family residences; 3) commercial buildings; and 4) institutions such as churches, libraries and post offices. The buildings were designed in a wide variety of architectural styles that range in date from circa 1880 to the present. The previous 1986 survey identified three districts that appeared eligible for the National Register. However, since nearly 30 years have passed since the 1986 survey and many changes have occurred in these previously identified areas, the project team closely reviewed the previously identified districts to confirm the validity of the previous determinations and to note any modifications to the buildings or changes to the proposed district’s significance or iii boundaries (due to demolitions, alterations, changes in district boundaries, changes in overall integrity levels or significance levels). The project team then determined the current district boundaries for any intact districts previously identified or identified as part of this survey. During this process, contributing and non-contributing buildings located within the defined district boundaries were identified. The project team also closely studied the outlying areas of Pirates Cove, Wintersburg, Liberty Park, Ocean View, Meadowlark, and the Bolsa Chica to determine if any of these early settlement areas would constitute a historic district. After close study it was determined that none of these areas exhibited a sufficient concentration of extant historic buildings to qualify as historic districts; however there were some individual buildings identified as potentially significant within these areas. After reviewing the previously proposed districts from the 1986 survey, the project team determined the 9th Street, Wesley Park and the Main Street Historic Districts as defined by the 1986 district boundaries no longer maintain enough integrity to be considered historic districts according to national or state criteria. However, after studying the Wesley Park neighborhood, the project team did find a smaller concentration of buildings that would constitute a local historic district along Main Street and Crest Avenue. Although the Wesley Park district would not qualify as a historic district according to the 1986 district boundaries, GPA re-evaluated the neighborhood and has proposed new district boundaries that appear to meet the California Register Criteria. Additionally, since the concentration of buildings within this previously identified Wesley Park District is located along Main Street, GPA has re-named this district the Main

    Fernando Chueca Goitia and others The Alhambra Manifesto (1953) Translated by Jacob Moore Word Count: 2,171 Source: Manifiesto de la Alhambra (Madrid, Dirección General de Arquitectura, 1953). Republished as El Manifiesto de la Alhambra: 50 años después: el monumento y la arquitectura contemporánea, ed. Ángel Isac, (Granada: Patronato de la Alhambra y Generalife, Consejería de Cultura, Junta de Andalucía : Tf Editores, 2006) 356-375. We, the signers of this Manifesto, do not want to be pure iconoclasts, for we are already too weary of such abrupt and arbitrary turns. So people will say: “Why the need for a Manifesto, a term which, almost by definition, implies a text that is dogmatic and revolutionary, one that breaks from the past, a public declaration of a new credo?” Simply put, because reality, whose unequivocal signs leave no room for doubt, is showing us that the ultimate traditionalist posture, which architecture adopted after the war of Liberation, can already no longer be sustained and its tenets are beginning to fall apart. […] Today the moment of historical resurrections has passed. There is no use denying it; just as one cannot deny the existence of the Renaissance in its time or that of the nineteenth century archaeological revivals. The arts have tired of hackneyed academic models and of cold, lifeless copies, and seek new avenues of expression that, though lacking the perfection of those that are known, are more radical and authentic. But one must also not forget that the peculiar conditions implicit in all that is Spanish require that, within the global historical movement, we move forward, we would not say with a certain prudence, but yes, adjusting realities in our own way.

This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas.

  • Grace Rochfort
    Rochfort: Classicism and Anti-Classicism Agora Rochfort 1 Classicism and Anti-Classicism in the Quintessentially Romantic Grace Rochfort (Editor’s Note: The two Delacroix paintings mentioned in this essay are available through these two links: www.mystudios.com/.../delacroix-dante.htmland www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/delacroix/) At the turn of the nineteenth century, two different groups of idealists had formed; both were unhappy with the state of the world, but each had its own ideas about how to effect change. It was a battle between the head and the heart. Classicists chose to use intellect and had a responsibility toward civic duty, while Romantics opted to follow emotion and were individualistic. Washington Irving’sTales of the Alhambra is a quintessentially Romantic work that defies all Classicism. Contrasting this are Eugene Delacroix’s paintings, which are a combination of Romanticism and Neo-Classicism. When compared, the distinct themes of Classicism and anti-Classicism help to create a tension between the works and give them intrigue. Eugene Delacroix was an innovative and revolutionary Romantic painter who embellished his creations with imaginative detail. His earliest paintings were based on hearsay, legends, and the imagination of other writers and artists. In 1832, he traveled to Morocco, where the subjects and themes that he was seeking in many of his paintings came to life. In the same year, Irving publishedTales of the Alhambra, a short story that captures the exoticism of the palace in Granada, Spain. Irving got so caught up in the foreign culture that one evening, when Published by Digital Showcase @ University of Lynchburg, 2007 1 Agora, Vol.

  • La Alhambra in Granada, One of the Most Beautiful and Admired Monuments in the Wold
    La Alhambra in Granada, one of the most beautiful and admired monuments in the wold. An old legend says that the Alhambra was built by night, in the light of torches. Its reddish dawn did believe the people of Grenada that the color was like the strength of the blood. The Alhambra, a monument of Granada for Spain and the world. La Alhambra was so called because of its reddish walls (in Arabic, («qa'lat al-Hamra'» means Red Castle ). It is located on top of the hill al-Sabika, on the left bank of the river Darro, to the west of the city of Granada and in front of the neighbourhoods of the Albaicin and of the Alcazaba. The Alhambra is one of the most serenely sensual and beautiful buildings in the world, a place where Moorish art and architecture reached their pinnacle. A masterpiece for you to admire, and it is in Granada, a city full of culture and history. Experience the beauty and admire this marvel of our architectural heritage. Let it touch your heart. Granada is the Alhambra and the gardens, the Cathedral, the Royal Chapel, convents and monasteries, the old islamic district Albayzin where the sunset is famous in the world or the Sacromonte where the gypsies perform flamenco shows in the caves where they used to live...Granada is this and many more things. The Alhambra is located on a strategic point in Granada city, with a view over the whole city and the meadow ( la Vega ), and this fact leads to believe that other buildings were already on that site before the Muslims arrived.

  • Barcelona, Spain: Fall 2017
    Barcelona, Spain: Fall 2017 Course Descriptions (11/01/16 ht) Contra Costa Community College District (Diablo Valley College) HUM 105: Introduction to Humanities- Arts & Ideas 3 units Did you know that you can “read” gardens to determine what a culture thinks about power, death and beauty? Why are there so many references to nature in Barcelona’s architectural jewels? How did three Catalan artists change art forever? How do artists and writers respond to tragedies like WWI and the Spanish Civil War? If these questions intrigue you, or if you just love the idea of understanding the ideas and history behind the splendor of Barcelona, then take this fun interdisciplinary class. Through our unit on the cultural history of European gardens you’ll analyze the metaphysics inherent in places like Gaudi’s Park Güell, Granada’s Al Alhambra and Paris’ Versailles. We’ll study the philosophical roots of the Catalan Modernisme movement and see how Barcelona’s buildings were part of a larger trend of urban planning. You’ll learn the amazing story of how art was radically changed by Picasso, Miró and Dalí, three impoverished Catalan painters who saw “reality” a completely different way. Finally we’ll study the impact of WWI and the Spanish Civil War on the arts, from Picasso’s Guernica, to works by American writer Ernest Hemingway. This class will incorporate many field trips (maybe even an optional one to Paris), so be prepared to explore.
