Surveyd By E.T. Wright Stock#: 23059 Map Maker: Renshaw Litho Date: 1884 circa Place: Los Angeles Color: Uncolored Condition: VG Size: 23 x 17 inches Price: SOLD Description: One of the earliest obtainable printed tract maps showing a portion of the City of Los Angeles. The Park and Beaudry tracts were rather high end offerings from the holdings of the amazing Prudent Beaudry who bought up much of the land of Bunker Hill and acreage around the Central Library. These are parts of what was originally called Belvedere Gardens and were supposed to be high enough so that residents could have an ocean view (on a clear day). Park had 582 lots and was just 3/4 of a mile from the Plaza which could be reached by the Temple Street Car Pearl later became part of Figueroa. The tract contains two design anomalies with the circular Court St. and the rounded configuration of Bunker Hill Ave. which really is not the true Bunker Hill. Below the Park Tract was the woolen mill where the first industry began in LA, brought about by a dam and diversion created by Beaudry's water company. The Beaudry Tract was just half a mile from the Plaza, 148 parcels and again featured uphill lots with views of the Pacific Ocean. Both the Park and Beaudry tracts appear on several maps of the time including the 1887 Rowan map and the Stevenson map of 1884. Prudent Beaudry was one of Los Angeles' great early entrepenuers and civic minded Citizens. Born into a wealthy French Canadian family. After studying in Montreal, he went to New York City to pursue graduate studies in business school. In the aftermath of the Rebellions of 1837 that shook the province of Quebec, he travelled in the United States and promoted the idea of annexing Canada to the United States. Around 1840, he settled to New Orleans where he gained additional experience in commercial activities. In 1842, he returned to Montreal and created with his brothers an import-export business. Because he was responsible of buying stocks, Prudent Beaudry frequently needed to travel in Europe.

Surveyd By E.T. Wright His younger brother, Victor Beaudry, left to San Francisco during the California Gold Rush and convinced Prudent to join him in order to take advantage of the growing economic activities. After selling his Montreal business interests to his older brothers, Prudent Beaudry moved to San Franscisco and invested all $26.000 in various enterprises oriented to fulfill the needs of the Gold Rush minors, including retail store, transportation, and funeral company. After 2 fires and insufficient insurance left his retail enterprise on the brink of Bankruptcy, un 1853, Prudent moved to Los Angeles, and succeeded in creating back a respectful floating capital. In 1854, Prudent decided to invest in capital assets in addition to his retail store. He bought different parts of land and constituted the "Beaudry Blocks". The rents of his assets would yield him $1000 per month. In 1855, after Victor joined him in Los Angeles, Prudent Beaudry left to Europe in order to consult a Parisian oculist for health problems. He rested in Montreal for five years, limiting his activity. In 1861, Victor received a lucrative offer to furnish the Army of the Potomac during the American Civil War. This offer forced Prudent to return to Los Angeles and take charge again of his business. With his profits, Prudent Beaudry decided to invest in silver mine, but this investment failed when the mne was burned in an act of arson. Prudent Beaudry then decided to take all of his savings to buy vast lands in the cheap, desert hillside lots of Los Angeles, which had the quality of offering outstanding views of the ocean. He further bought lands near the Sierra Nevada, and built a self-made aqueduct in order to redirect several streams flowing from the mountain to his new lands. He owned a great deal of real estate in downtown Los Angeles mainly around Temple Street, Arcadia region, and on Bellevue road. Moreover, Beaudry got interested in architecture and urbanism, and so decided to get involved in town and country planning, notably by planting many new trees and making plans of luxurious mansions as well as humble homes. The quality of his work is rapidly recognized, and the upgraded lands are sold with very large profit. In 1873, he became the first president of the Board of Trades of Los Angeles. In 1874, he became mayor of Los Angeles, during which times, his brother Jean-Louis Beaudry was also the mayor of Montreal. Later in his life, Beaudry decided to get involved in exporting water, but a bankruptcy of the partner bank ruined the project. Beaudry also invested in "cable cars" (tramways) for the people moving up and down around the surrounding hills of Los Angeles. But most of his free time was dedicated to architecture. He died in 1893, at Los Angeles. The L.A. Times praised him as one of the most visionary men of Los Angeles. Following his will, his body was brought back and buried in Montreal. The Los Angeles County made the following praise of Prudent Beaudry: Drawer Ref: California Stock#: 23059 Page 2 of 3 Barry Lawrence Ruderman Antique Maps Inc. 7407 La Jolla Boulevard www.raremaps.com (858) 551-8500 La Jolla, CA 92037 [email protected] Map of Park Tract [and] Map of That Portion of the Beaudry Tract No. 2 Lying East of Pearl Street Los Angeles City Cal. Surveyd By E.T. Wright Prudent Beaudry has the record of having made in different lines five large fortunes, four of which, through the act of God, or by the duplicity of man, in whom he had trusted, have been lost; but even then he was not discouraged, but faced the world, even at an advanced age, like a lion at bay, and his reward he now enjoys in the shape of a large and assured fortune. Of such stuff are the men who fill great places, and who develop and make a country. To such men we of this later day owe much of the beauty and comfort that surround us, and to such we should look with admiration as models upon which to form rules of action in trying times. Robert Renshaw was one of the earliest lithographers working in Los Angeles. He worked from the Downey Building in Los Angeles. His name appears on 3 other regional maps of California, published between 1880 and 1889. The Schmidt Label Company puchased Robert Renshaw & Company in 1887, suggesting that this map was published in or before 1887. E.T. Wright was the Surveyor of the County of Los Angeles from 1880-1882,1885-1886,1895-1898. Detailed Condition: Drawer Ref: California Stock#: 23059 Page 3 of 3.

Yet within dominant urban design paradigms, many of these per- ceptions never make it into the public meeting, nor onto the abstract maps and renderings that planners and - designers frequently employ. This thesis seeks to show that cinematic practice, or the production of subjec tive, immersive film narratives, can incorporate highly differentiated perceptions into the design process.

GRAVES PREFACE Time flies so swiftly, that I can hardly realize so many years have elapsed since I, a child five years of age, passed through the Golden Gate, to become a resident of California. I have always enjoyed reading of the experiences of California pioneers, who came here either before or after I did. The thought came to me, that possibly other people would enjoy an account of the experiences of my seventy years in the State, during which I participated in the occurrences of a very interesting period of the State's development. As, during all of my life, to think has been to act, this is the only excuse or apology I can offer for this book. J. A. GRAVES. ix CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE I FAMILY HISTORY. MARYSVILLE IN 1857. COL.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES Government and Water
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES Government and Water: A Study of the Influence of Water upon Governmental Institutions and Practices in the Development of Los Angeles A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Vincent A. Ostrom June, 1950 ii In Memory of CLARENCE A. DYKSTRA who gave so freely of time and effort during the last months of his life to guide this study to its completion. iii Control of water to secure maximum supply at costs determined by the economic situation is the engineering problem, and that problem is solvable. Ahead of the engineering accomplishment is the engineering of men. The decision of the community at large must be made. For accomplishment, its public body, its semipublic water organizations, and its individuals must unite in team work to pool, rearrange and compromise existing interests, to legislate and to create a competent organization to carry out the engineering solution. California, Department of Public Works, Division of Engineering and Irrigation, Santa Ana Investigation, p. 32. iv PREFACE The motivation for this study is rooted in personal experience. During my first stay of several years in the Los Angeles area, I had been relatively oblivious to the existence of a water problem. An unlimited quantity of water was always available at the water tap and seemingly no critical problem of water shortage existed for any of the water consumers of the area. After leaving the Los Angeles area, I became a resident of a small city in Wyoming where the problem of an adequate water supply was a daily concern to the community.

  • West Adams Matters
    December 2013 Number 297 West Adams Matters A Holiday Gift to All of Us: Landmark Golden State Mutual Murals Will Remain in West Adams West Adams will remain the home of the historic Golden State Mutual Life Insurance murals, which along with the building itself were designated as Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument 1000 after being threatened with removal two years ago. WAHA and other preservationists advocated to retain these murals, part of the original concept of the Paul Williams-designed iconic building, after the State Insurance Department became the financial receiver of Golden State Mutual’s assets when the insurance company failed. WAHA strongly supported the Los Angeles Conservancy’s nomination of the property, and we provided additional information that helped lead to the murals themselves being specifically designated as part of that process. WAHA then showcased the murals during two tour events in 2011, to build community awareness of the threats to the murals. The murals, the GSM building, and Paul Williams’ legacy were the inspiration for WAHA’s publishing of our popular West Adams’ Landmarks of African American History, to help in the advocacy effort to retain these important cultural assets in our community. The building and the murals are featured prominently on the cover and in its pages. We give thanks this season as well for several other preservation success stories, including the designation as Historic Cultural Monuments of a dozen USC-owned buildings, all in one fell swoop, and the pending designation of a grand French Norman Eclectic apartment building in the West Adams Avenues neighborhood.
