Haskell Avenue CHC-2009-3525-HCM Page 2 of 4 FINDINGS The building "embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction" as an example of Modern style ecclesiastic architecture. CRITERIA The criterion is the Cultural Heritage Ordinance which defines a historical or cultural monument as any site (including significant trees or other plant life located thereon) building or structure of particular historic or cultural significance to the City of Los Angeles, such as historic structures or sites in which the broad cultural, economic, or social history of the nation, State or community is reflected or exemplified, or which are identified with historic personages or with important events in the main currents of national, State or local history or which embody the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction, or a notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose individual genius influenced his age. SUMMARY Built in 1964 and located in the North Hills area, this one-story church sanctuary exhibits character-defining features of the Modern style. The subject building is circular in shape and plan and located on a rectangular lot. The dome-shaped structure is supported by glue laminated timber beams with an exterior finish of composition shingles. The roofing material continues down the entire length of the sanctuary from the roof to the foundation. The roof tapers into a flat point at the highest peak, resulting in an onion-like form. The entrance consists of wooden double doors with an overhang extending over the entrance. Adjacent to the entrance are two casement windows set in between three sets of glass double doors also beneath the overhang. Interior spaces include the main sanctuary as well as a small sound room. Inside the subject building, the floor steps down to three seating levels creating a sunken circle in the center. The interior finish includes horizontal wood cladding and glue laminated timber beams. Secondary buildings on the property include adjoining buildings consisting of administrative offices and meeting rooms. The landscape features consist of a large grassy lawn with shrubs and trees surrounding around the subject building. The proposed Sepulveda Unitarian Universalist Society Sanctuary ("The Onion") historic monument was designed by architect Frank Ehrenthal. Frank Ehrenthal was a Unitarian himself and studied under master architect Richard Neutra in Europe. Ehrenthal also designed the First Unitarian Church in San Francisco and the chapel at Starr King School for the Ministry in Berkeley. The Sepulveda Unitarian Universalist Society Sanctuary was built in 1964 as the home of the Sepulveda Unitarian Universalist Society on land that had once been a ranch. The space held several political events concerning the Vietnam War, which the congregation opposed. Controversial anti-war activist William Kunstler spoke at the sanctuary in 1970. By then "The Onion" had become known as a safe haven and headquarters for protesters. Later, Vietnam Veterans used the chapel as their headquarters for protests in 1983. The Sepulveda Unitarian Universalist Society Sanctuary appears significant as a well­ preserved example of the Modernist style, retaining most of its original features and fixtures. 9550 N. Haskell Avenue CHC-2009-3525-HCM Page 3 of4 Alterations include the replacement of the original wooden shake shingles due to fire code regulations as well as the addition of interior acoustical panels. DISCUSSION The Sepulveda Unitarian Universalist Society Sanctuary ("The Onion") property successfully meets one of the specified Historic-Cultural Monument criteria: "embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction." As an ecclesiastic building designed in the Modern style, the property qualifies for designation as a Historic-Cultural Monument based on these criteria.

Kesey is a young, talented novelist who has just seen his first book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nestpublished, and who is consequently on the receiving end of a great deal of fame and fortune. While living in Palo Alto and attending Stanford's creative writing program, Kesey signs up to participate in a drug study sponsored by the CIA. The drug they give him is a new experimental drug called LSD. Under the influence of LSD, Kesey begins to attract a band of followers. They are drawn to the transcendent states they can achieve while on the drug, but they are also drawn to Kesey, who is a charismatic leader. They call themselves the "Merry Pranksters" and begin to participate in wild experiments at Kesey's house in the woods of La Honda, California. These experiments, with lights and noise, are all engineered to create a wild psychedelic experience while on LSD. They paint everything in neon Day-Glo colors, and though the residents and authorities of La Honda are worried, there is little they can do, since LSD is not an illegal substance. The Pranksters first venture into the wider world by taking a trip east, to New York, for the publication of Kesey's newest novel.

While America was economically wealthy after the war, it still had to deal with extremely difficult social and cultural challenges. Due to these new aspects of life, there were increasing differences in both the interests and values of children and their parents, what we have learned to call the "generation gap". The "generational gap" between the youth culture and their parents meant a polarizing society, each hating and completely misunderstanding the other.. This eventually resulted in a highly political youth culture that was laterally opposed to the government. Through isolation, the counterculture began to develop new philosophies and new ways of thinking, and a huge part of that philosophy was the pursuit of a "Good Society", a utopian dream for world peace.

Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE presents A TESTAMENT TO THE SHEER JOY OF LIVING A LIFE OF SERVICE TO HUMANKIND AND OUR PLANET THE WAVY GRAVY MOVIE: SAINT MISBEHAVIN' RELEASES NOVEMBER 15 ON DIGITAL AND DVD An unforgettable trip through the extraordinary life of a poet, clown, activist and FUNdraiser “’Saint Misbehavin’’ is an unabashed love letter to the world that defies the cynicism of our age.” – The New York Times September 19, 2011 – “Some people tell me I’m a saint, I tell them I’m Saint Misbehavin’.” Poet, activist, entertainer, clown. These are a few ways to describe Wavy Gravy, an activist and prominent figure during the Woodstock era who continues to spread a message that we can make a difference in the world and have fun doing it! THE WAVY GRAVY MOVIE paints a moving and surprising portrait of his lifelong passion for peace, justice and understanding. The film features extensive verité footage and interviews with Wavy telling his own stories: from communal life with The Hog Farm, to his circus and performing arts camp, Camp Winnarainbow, to the epic cross-continent bus trip through Europe and South Asia that led to the founding of the Seva Foundation. Award-winning director Michelle Esrick weaves together this compelling film with rare footage from key events: Greenwich Village beat poets and folk music, Woodstock, non- violent protests, and many seminal moments of the ‘60s and ‘70s, and Wavy’s present day life. The Gaslight Café The year was 1958. The Vietnam War had just begun. Born as Hugh Romney, Wavy commanded the stage as a poet, comedian “tongue dancer,” and MC at The Gaslight Café in New York City’s Greenwich Village.

    Altered States: the American Psychedelic Aesthetic

    ALTERED STATES: THE AMERICAN PSYCHEDELIC AESTHETIC A Dissertation Presented by Lana Cook to The Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April, 2014 1 © Copyright by Lana Cook All Rights Reserved 2 ALTERED STATES: THE AMERICAN PSYCHEDELIC AESTHETIC by Lana Cook ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University, April, 2014 3 ABSTRACT This dissertation traces the development of the American psychedelic aesthetic alongside mid-twentieth century American aesthetic practices and postmodern philosophies. Psychedelic aesthetics are the varied creative practices used to represent altered states of consciousness and perception achieved via psychedelic drug use. Thematically, these works are concerned with transcendental states of subjectivity, psychic evolution of humankind, awakenings of global consciousness, and the perceptual and affective nature of reality in relation to social constructions of the self. Formally, these works strategically blend realist and fantastic languages, invent new language, experimental typography and visual form, disrupt Western narrative conventions of space, time, and causality, mix genres and combine disparate aesthetic and cultural traditions such as romanticism, surrealism, the medieval, magical realism, science fiction, documentary, and scientific reportage. This project attends to early exemplars of the psychedelic aesthetic, as in the case of Aldous Huxley’s early landmark text The Doors of Perception (1954), forgotten pioneers such as Jane Dunlap’s Exploring Inner Space (1961), Constance Newland’s My Self and I (1962), and Storm de Hirsch’s Peyote Queen (1965), cult classics such as Tom Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (1968), and ends with the psychedelic aesthetics’ popularization in films like Roger Corman’s The Trip (1967).
