  • Regionl Connector Transit Corridor Draft DEIS/DEIR
    Regional Connector Transit Corridor Cultural Resources – Built Environment Technical Memorandum were designed to legally and financially assist cities to address problems of decay and neglect within their communities. In response to this new legislation, the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA) was established in 1948, in part to cure economic "blight" by funding and overseeing redevelopment. As its first major project, the CRA sought to improve the Bunker Hill area, which had been one of the more exclusive residential neighborhoods at the turn of the twentieth century but had deteriorated and fallen out of fashion. Despite many proposals, plans to redevelop Bunker Hill were rejected, and ultimately not begun until the 1960s, when large hotels and Victorian-era homes were bulldozed and the landforms were rearranged. Slowly, over the past 50 years, a community of high-rises has been constructed in their place (Kawaratani 2008). When the Harbor Freeway (Interstate-110) was completed in 1952, it was hopefully called “downtown’s new Main Street” by noted local architect A. C. Martin, Jr. (Los Angeles Times 1967). Construction of the freeway and the repeal of the building height ordinance in 1954 created a significant new concentration of high- and midrise buildings, eventually concentrated on Figueroa and 7th Streets. The downtown civic center began to take shape in the post-war era. As discussed in California: A Land of Contrast: Business blocks of the late nineteenth century have been replaced by the Civic Center, whose buildings, most of contemporary design, are flanked by multi-acre parking lots. The Civic Center has encroached westward upon Bunker Hill, once occupied by the city’s wealthier residents and now experiencing impressive [redevelopment] (Lantis, et al.

The Future of Historic Preservation in Blighted Areas: Effects of the Abolishment of Redevelopment Agencies in California Abstract Redevelopment agencies play a major role in the preservation or destruction of historic buildings. When considering the benefits of preservation, we not only consider the protection of buildings for history's sake; but its usage has become more evident as a form of economic growth. During 2011, in efforts to balance the budget in the state of California, Governor Brown proposed abolishing

  • A Guide to Historic Santa Monica City Hall
    A G U I D E T O Historic Santa Monica City Hall The city seal, measuring 79 inches in diameter, was created with the same “Petrachrome” method and a palette of colors, textures and elements similar to those used in the Macdonald-Wright murals. Encircled by the words, “City of Santa Monica, California. Founded 1875,” the seal features a mermaid and Spanish galleon on the bay, with sun, mountains, clouds and airplanes behind. A ribbon near the base of the seal carries the city’s motto, Populus Felix en Urbe Felice, translated from the Latin as “Fortunate People in a Fortunate Land.” The seal is inlaid in the center of the foyer floor, surrounded by color tiles that run along the east-west axis of the foyer and halls. A serrated pattern of yellow triangles running against a brown field, bordered by black stripes, echoes the chevron pattern on the tiled wainscoting found nearby. T he Overview With a nautical quality befitting its seaside locale, Santa Monica City Hall reflects the character of its surroundings, making it a civic building truly connected to its constituency. Designed by two prominent Los Angeles architects, it is rec- ognized as an outstanding example of the Public Works Administration (PWA) Moderne style of architecture popularized by Depression-era architects. With original Gladding, McBean ceramic tiles found around the west entrance doorway and throughout the building, and historic Stanton Macdonald-Wright murals in the entry foyer that document the city’s and the state’s history, the building’s architecture has earned it a place in the California Register of Historical Resources (1996), designation as a city landmark and eligibility for listing in the federal Register of Historic Places.

World War I, before Adams Boulevard was supplanted by Beyerjy Hills as the city's most exclusive neighborhood. That tradition has largely faded away, except for occasional concerts at the Doheny mansion, former home of oil millionaire Edward D.oheny, on the Mount Saint Mary's college campus, and the "Chamber Music at the Clark" series held at the Clark Library, built by mining heir William Andrews Clark. Lately, we have re-created some of the old ambiance. Visitors partook of a genial day of chamber music in a setting out of that past or. June 3rd, at WAHA's Treasures Tour: Chamber Music in Architecture. And then, on July 4th, we will again enjoythe jazzy song stylings of the trio Voice Over at our , . annual summertime picnic on the lawns of the Stearns-Dockweiler mansion in J r'V* /i' U'^ l^ir I University Park.
