2017-015491Coa Certificate of Appropriateness Case Report HEARING DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 2018 Filing Date: December 5, 2017 Case No.: 2017-015491COA Project Address: Fulton Street Right-Of-Way Historic Landmark: Civic Center Landmark District Zoning: P (Public) 80-X Height and Bulk District Block/Lot: Between Blocks 0353 and 0354 Applicant: Allison Cummings San Francisco Arts Commission 401 Van Ness Ave., Suite 325 San Francisco, CA 94102 [email protected] Staff Contact Eiliesh Tuffy - (415) 575-9191 [email protected] Reviewed By Tim Frye – (415) 575-6822 [email protected] PROPERTY DESCRIPTION PIONEER MONUMENT - FULTON STREET right-of-way, between Hyde and Larkin Streets, between Assessor’s Block 0353 and Block 0354. Dedicated in 1894 and sculpted by the artist Frank H. Happersberger, the Pioneer Monument is a sculptural installation that was originally installed at the intersection of Hyde and Grove Streets, but was relocated in 1993 to its present location in the Fulton Street right-of-way on axis with City Hall. The monument consists of 5 separate freestanding bronze sculptures: a large central figure and 4 surrounding figural sculptures, each of which is mounted onto an ornamental granite base. Bronze lettering identifies the names of the four figural sculptures surrounding the central figure. The monument is surrounded by a low metal fence on a landscaped island in the center of Fulton Street. The monument is located in a P (Public) Zoning District and an 80-X Height and Bulk District. It is within the boundaries of the Civic Center Landmark District, which is listed as a National Historic Landmark. The monument was determined to be a character-defining feature of the district as part of the Civic Center Historic District Cultural Landscape Inventory that was adopted by the Historic Preservation Commission on September 16, 2015. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The San Francisco Arts Commission is seeking a Certificate of Appropriateness for alteration to the Pioneer Monument. Specifically, the project proposes removal of the bronze sculptural grouping at the east end of the monument and titled “Early Days” from its granite base. The sculpture will be placed in www.sfplanning.org Certificate of Appropriateness Case Number 2017-015491COA February 21, 2018 Pioneer Monument - Fulton Street R.O.W. long-term storage and the abandoned anchor points in the granite base will be patched in accordance with approved treatments of historic materials. OTHER ACTIONS REQUIRED None. COMPLIANCE WITH THE PLANNING CODE PROVISIONS The proposed project is in compliance with all other provisions of the Planning Code. APPLICABLE PRESERVATION STANDARDS ARTICLE 10 A Certificate of Appropriateness is required for any construction, alteration, removal, or demolition of a designated Landmark for which a City permit is required. In appraising a proposal for a Certificate of Appropriateness, the Historic Preservation Commission should consider the factors of architectural style, design, arrangement, texture, materials, color, and other pertinent factors. Section 1006.7 of the Planning Code provides in relevant part as follows: The proposed work shall be appropriate for and consistent with the effectuation of the purposes of Article 10. The proposed work shall be compatible with the historic structure in terms of design, materials, form, scale, and location. The proposed project will not detract from the site’s architectural character as described in the designating ordinance. For all of the exterior and interior work proposed, reasonable efforts have been made to preserve, enhance or restore, and not to damage or destroy, the exterior architectural features of the subject property which contribute to its significance. ARTICLE 10 – Appendix J – Civic Center Landmark District In reviewing an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness, the Historic Preservation Commission must consider whether the proposed work would be compatible with the character of the Civic Center Landmark District as described in Appendix J of Article 10 of the Planning Code and the character‐defining features specifically outlined in the designating ordinance. THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR’S STANDARDS Rehabilitation is the act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features that convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values. The Rehabilitation Standards provide, in relevant part(s): Standard 1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. The ornamental granite base that supports the “Early Days’ bronze sculpture, along with the remainder of the monument, will remain in place. The footprint and arrangement of the monument’s five components will be unchanged, preserving its site and spatial relationship within the Civic Center Landmark District. 2 Certificate of Appropriateness Case Number 2017-015491COA February 21, 2018 Pioneer Monument - Fulton Street R.O.W. The current arrangement and use of Fulton Street within the district will remain unchanged. Therefore, the Project conforms to Standard 1. Standard 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. The spatial relations of the monument and the district will not be altered, as the overall monument will remain in its present location, along the east-west axis of Fulton Street with historic City Hall. The removal of the ‘Early Days” sculptural group will not alter character-defining spaces within the Civic Center. Therefore, the Project conforms to Standard 2. Standard 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. No conjectural elements will be added to either the monument or the surrounding Civic Center Landmark District. Therefore, the Project conforms to Standard 3. Standard 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. Not applicable Standard 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. The bronze statue will be preserved through storage off-site and the granite base that currently serves as an anchoring point for the artwork, will be patched to protect the historic stone from damage and weathering. The footprint of the monument’s five components, as well as the remainder of the monument itself, will be preserved in situ with no resulting change to the landmark district. Therefore, the Project conforms to Standard 5. Standard 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. The bronze sculpture is not proposed for replacement, but rather for preservation through off-site storage. Where historic granite stone at the supporting base is damaged or in need of repair, the existing material will be left intact, and areas of damage or deterioration appropriately cleaned and patched using historically appropriate cleaning and patching products. Therefore, the Project conforms to Standard 6. 3 Certificate of Appropriateness Case Number 2017-015491COA February 21, 2018 Pioneer Monument - Fulton Street R.O.W. Standard 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Upon removal of the bronze sculpture, should cleaning be required the sponsor outlines that it shall be undertaken by conservation professionals using the gentlest means possible and according to methods endorsed by the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works. Therefore, the Project conforms to Standard 7. Standard 8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. Soil disturbance is not part of the scope of work for the project and no known archeological resources are housed within the monument. Therefore, the Project conforms to Standard 8. Standard 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. No new work is proposed for the site. The removal of the ‘Early Days’ sculptural group, while an alteration to the monument’s existing condition, will not destroy historic materials. Rather, the removed sculpture will be retained and preserved through off-site storage. The footprint of the monument’s five separate components, along with its axial relationship

    THE GARGOYLES OF SAN FRANCISCO: MEDIEVALIST ARCHITECTURE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA 1900-1940 A thesis submitted to the faculty of San Francisco State University A5 In partial fulfillment of The Requirements for The Degree Mi ST Master of Arts . Y\5$ In History by James Harvey Mitchell, Jr. San Francisco, California May, 2016 Copyright by James Harvey Mitchell, Jr. 2016 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read The Gargoyles of San Francisco: Medievalist Architecture in Northern California 1900-1940 by James Harvey Mitchell, Jr., and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in History at San Francisco State University. <2 . d. rbel Rodriguez, lessor of History Philip Dreyfus Professor of History THE GARGOYLES OF SAN FRANCISCO: MEDIEVALIST ARCHITECTURE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA 1900-1940 James Harvey Mitchell, Jr. San Francisco, California 2016 After the fire and earthquake of 1906, the reconstruction of San Francisco initiated a profusion of neo-Gothic churches, public buildings and residential architecture. This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.

  • California Modernism After World War Ii
    1 CALIFORNIA MODERNISM AFTER WORLD WAR II So in America when the sun goes down and I sit on the old broken-down river pier watching the long, long skies over New Jersey and sense all that raw land that rolls in one unbelievable huge bulge over to the West Coast, and all that road going, and all the people dreaming in the immensity of it, and in Iowa I know by now the children must be crying in the land where they let the children cry, and tonight the stars’ll be out, and don’t you know that God is Pooh Bear? The evening star must be drooping and shedding her sparkler dims on the prairie, which is just before the coming of complete night that blesses the earth, darkens all the rivers, cups the peaks and folds the final shore in, and nobody, nobody knows what’s going to happen to anybody besides the forlorn rags of growing old, I think of Dean Moriarty, I even think of Old Dean Moriarty the father we never found, I think of Dean Moriarty. JACK KEROUAC, ON THE ROAD POSTWAR EXCHANGES Most historical accounts of cultural and artistic developments in the United States after World War II have offered little information about trends affecting artists across the country. In the rush to figure out who did what first and to locate it geographically—usu - ally in New York— the historians have ignored the fluid interchanges between the two coasts, and cultural opportunities offered on either of them in these postwar years.

  • 1969 Budget Analysis: Capital Outlay
    Capital Outlay CAP IT At. OUTLAY Summary 1968 Program The Budget Act of 1968 as signed by the Governor contained ap­ proximately $146,046,000 for capital outlay. Of this, $71,620,000 was from the General ]'und and the balance from (1) various special funds ($50,775,000), excluding water and highways, and (2) bond funds in the areas of recreation, parks and junior college state construction as­ sistance ($23,651,000). There are a number of observations pertinent to the amount and nature of this 1968 outlay total. First, it was the smallest capital outlay appropriation since the fiscal year 1962-63. Second, the amount of bond funds was relatively minor for the first time in ten years. Third, it contained an item of some $3,340,000 for purposes which had been treated as local assistance in previous budget acts. Fourth, overall it represented essentially a "pay-as-you-go" construction program. In addition to the $71,620,000 directly appropriated from the Gen­ eral Fund, it should be noted that of the special funds amount, $37,- 730,000 was from the Capital Outlay Fund for Public Higher Educa­ tion. This fund is fed by tidelands oil reveneus which otherwise would have accrued to the General Fund. Therefore, as a practical matter, approximately 75 percent of the total 1968 capital outlay appropria­ tion had its origin in the General Fund. The limited bond funds that were allocated by the 1968 Budget Act were largely directed to higher education (junior colleges). All of the balance of $3 million remaining in the Higher Education Bond Act Fund was allocated to augment projects previously funded from it for the purpose of financing increased costs attributable to a sharp rise in the construction cost index.

    WHAT Architect WHERE Notes Zone 1: Fisherman’s Warf and the Piers + North Beach Pier 39 is a shopping center and popular tourist attraction built in 1978. The marina is also home to the floating Forbes Island restaurant. The sea lions at Pier 39 have become a tourist attraction in their own right. Although the reason for their migration to the pier *** Pier 39 Warren Simmons Pier 39 is unclear, the refurbishing of the docks in September 1989 required the removal of all boats from that area, leaving large open spaces for the sea lions to move into. Once the project was completed, boat owners returned, but did their best to navigate around the sea lions; no efforts were made to encourage the new guests to leave. Aquarium of the Bay was built in 1996 as an aquarium. It added additional attractions to the original building and has 273 species and more than 60,000 fish.
