In a three-block stretch of West Fourth Street alone, there are twelve distinct nineteenth-century sales on display, a remarkable and valuable attribute. Tn response to requests, the Lycoming County Historical Society, 4 with the help of intern Michele Miller, has beenputting together walking tours of' A/Hlionaires' Row and the [)owntown area. ]n this year's issue of ZZeJozf//za/, we present the Millionaires' Row tour and invite you to stroll along tale avenuelined with the homes of Williamsport's formerly rich and f'amous. In addition to the tour, this issue alsofeatures "The Attack of the Killer Oatmeal," an account based on an oral history. Written bX Becky Day, the story of a trip to the Williamsport Growers' Association Market was told by her mother and is part of' a collec- tion of family storiesabout the Bakersof Bastress.Becky, proprietor of' the Bastress Mountain Food Company, also collects recipes that often accompany her "tales ol' Nippenose Valley. The third feature is a history of the Vallamont Land Company's planned community by Elizabeth Yoder. A development on the former f'arm of Hezekiah Packer, the Vallamont neighborhood, offering G'eshair and elevation above threatening flood water, was origi- nally bounded by Market Street, Rural Avenueand Fifth Avenuelust north of the Williamsport city limits in a country setting on the streetcar line. The articles in this issueare basedon historical sourcesof every kind, including post- cards, photographs, maps, newspapers, interviews, and oral histories. I would especially like to thank Vice President Robert Kane, Jr. for his help in identil)nng styles and fea- tures. For further information, you may enjoy reading the following local histories that served as reference materials for these articles. Historical architecture buffs will find the handbook, /?en/ &&zy '4//zrrha/z .,{rcflfecfzzrp indispensable. Accompanied by that book, ama- teur historians can roam the city at large to explore the wealth of styles around us.

    VIEW 2019 VIEW from the Director’s Office Dear Friends of LALH, This year’s VIEW reflects our recent sharpening focus on California, from the Bay Area to San Diego. We open with an article by JC Miller about Robert Royston’s final project, the Harris garden in Palm Springs, which he worked on personally and continues to develop with the owners. A forthcoming LALH book on Royston by Miller and Reuben M. Rainey, the fourth volume in our Masters of Modern Landscape Design series, will be released early next year at Modernism Week in Palm Springs. Both article and book feature new photographs by the stellar landscape photographer Millicent Harvey. Next up, Kenneth I. Helphand explores Lawrence Halprin’s extraordinary drawings and their role in his de- sign process. “I find that I think most effectively graphically,” Halprin explained, and Helphand’s look at Halprin’s prolific notebook sketches and drawings vividly illuminates the creative symbiosis that led to the built works. The California theme continues with an introduction to Paul Thiene, the German-born landscape architect who super- vised the landscape development of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego and went on to establish a thriving practice in the Southland. Next, the renowned architect Marc Appleton writes about his own Santa Barbara garden, Villa Corbeau, inspired—as were so many of Thiene’s designs—by Italy. The influence of Italy was also major in the career of Lockwood de Forest Jr. Here, Ann de Forest remembers her grandparents and their Santa Barbara home as the family archives, recently donated by LALH, are moved to the Architecture & Design Collections at UC Santa Barbara.
