Giessinger, Preservation Architect Office of Historic Resources Office of Historic Resources [SIGNED ORIGINAL IN FILE] Melissa Jones, Planning Assistant Office of Historic Resources Attachment: Historic-Cultural Monument Application CHC-2018-1033-HCM 1547-1549 North McCadden Place Page 2 of 3 SUMMARY Fritz Cottage is a one-story single-family residence located on McCadden Place between Sunset Boulevard and Selma Avenue in Hollywood. Although the original building permit could not be located, according to the Los Angeles County Office of the Assessor’s records, the property was constructed in 1907. The parcel was originally purchased by contractor and property owner Godfrey Fritz, who most likely constructed the subject property in the Transitional Craftsman architectural style. It was originally occupied by Fritz’s daughter and son-in-law, Nellie and Raymond Vosderbosch, who resided at the property until at least 1918. The subject property was converted into a school in 2002. Rectangular in plan, the subject property is of wood frame construction with wood clapboard and wood shingle cladding. The steeply-pitched composition shingle roof is hipped, with a front-facing gable over a raised porch on the primary east-facing elevation, and a small side-facing gable on the south-facing elevation. The gable topping the porch has a single knee brace, a double wood vent, and a flattened pyramidal front with dentils, and is supported by three square columns with decorative knee braces. The primary, east-facing elevation also features a centered single wood panel door and vinyl sliding door accessed off the porch as well as a bay window with vinyl windows. The south elevation features a bay window centered on the façade, a multi-lite vinyl picture window flanked by one-over-one vinyl windows, and three wood frame windows. There is a handicap ramp off the rear, west-facing elevation. A brick chimney is centered atop the western portion of the roof. A non-original two-story building with a shed roof is located at the western property edge. The subject property has undergone multiple alterations over the years that include the construction of an 800-square foot storage building in 2000, a kitchen remodel in 2012, as well as two additions at the rear, the installation of a handicamp ramp, the conversion of the original windows on the primary, east-facing façade to a vinyl sliding door, the replacement of the original front entry door, and the replacement of many of the original wood windows with vinyl windows, all at unknown dates. The subject property was identified as individually eligible for listing at the state level as an excellent example of a single-family residence from the pre-annexation period of Hollywood, illustrative of Hollywood’s early development as an independent city, in the March 2009 Community Redevelopment Agency Historic Resources Survey of the Hollywood Redevelopment Area prepared by Chattel Architecture, Planning & Preservation, Inc. in collaboration with PCR Services Corporation and LSA Associates, Inc. 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. CHC-2018-1033-HCM 1547-1549 North McCadden Place Page 3 of 3 FINDINGS Based on the facts set forth in the summary and application, the Commission determines that the application is complete and that the property may be significant enough to warrant further investigation as a potential Historic-Cultural Monument.

Description of Potential Monument The construction year of the Vernacular Gabled/Hipped Cottage known as the Fritz Cottage is not known. The City of Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles both set it at 1907. It was not erected in time to make the 1907 Hollywood Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, but is shown on the 1913 Hollywood Sanborn Map. The original building permit is not extant which indicates that it was built in Pre- Consolidation Hollywood. We know that the cottage was built by Godfrey Fritz, a well-known builder of larger buildings in downtown Los Angeles, for his daughter Nellie who married Raymond H. Vondenbosch in 1907 as they were the original residents. Vosdenbosch

  • Communication with the Divine in Ancient Egypt: Hearing Deities, Intermediary Statues and Sistrophores
    COMMUNICATION WITH THE DIVINE IN ANCIENT EGYPT: HEARING DEITIES, INTERMEDIARY STATUES AND SISTROPHORES by ELEANOR BETH SIMMANCE A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the desire for contact with deities in Egypt, the artistic and textual expression of which can be viewed as characteristic of ‘personal piety’. The attribution of hearing abilities to deities through epithets and phrases is evocative of human attempts to communicate with the divine sphere, and the Egyptian evidence is presented. A case study of so-called ‘intermediary statues’, which claim to facilitate communication between human and god, offers an opportunity to investigate how some members of the elite adapted their artistic output to take advantage of popular beliefs, furthering their own commemoration. Sistrophorous statues (bearing a naos-sistrum) are well-represented in the intermediary corpus, and their symbolism is explored alongside the significance of statue form and temple location in the context of communication with gods.

  • Reconstructing the Pre-Meroitic Indigenous Pantheon of Kush
    Journal of Journal of Ancient near Ancient Near Eastern Eastern Religions 18 (2018) 167–189 Religions brill.com/jane Reconstructing the Pre-Meroitic Indigenous Pantheon of Kush M. Victoria Almansa-Villatoro Brown University [email protected] Abstract This article sets out to address questions concerning local religious traditions in an- cient Nubia. Data concerning Egyptian gods in the Sudan are introduced, then the existence of unattested local pre-Meroitic gods is reconstructed using mainly exter- nal literary sources and an analysis of divine names. A review of other archaeological evidence from an iconographic point of view is also attempted, concluding with the presentation of Meroitic gods and their relation with earlier traditions. This study pro- poses that Egyptian religious beliefs were well integrated in both official and popular cults in Nubia. The Egyptian and the Sudanese cultures were constantly in contact in the border area and this nexus eased the transmission of traditions and iconographi- cal elements in a bidirectional way. The Meroitic gods are directly reminiscent of the reconstructed indigenous Kushite pantheon in many aspects, and this fact attests to an attempt by the Meroitic rulers to recover their Nubian cultural identity. Keywords Nubia – Egypt – local religion – Meroitic Gods – Dedwen – Miket – Apedemak – Rahes 1 Introduction During the 25th Dynasty, the Kushite world was significantly influenced by Egyptian gods who entered the Nubian pantheon and were worshipped throughout various different

She Montu is known mainly as the divine consort of god Montu and a dweller in Iunit his chief cult centers, especially at Tod, Armant, and Medamoud. She Rettway is often represented anthropomorphically crowned either with two Tod cow’s horns with an integrated sun disk, or with a Bicornuate uterus. Armant Considering that her worship extended over nearly three thousand Medamoud. years, it seems inevitable that her iconography has seen some changes. This paper aims to shed light on the principal development moments of the iconography of goddess Tjenenet by responding to the following inquiries: how far is the possibility to recognize goddess Tjenenet despite the absence of her legends? Could the various aspects of her character influence her iconography? Does the form of this goddess vary according to the role she plays or the period in which she was depicted? Is it possible to consider the representations of Tjenenet as a measure of dating? Therefore, this paper tries to present and clarify the personality of Tjenenet by highlighting her iconography ©2021 Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Fayoum University All rights reserved 1.

Each committee member has helped me grow as a researcher, professional academic, and adult during my time at Michigan. My committee let me do my thing and let me do it my way. Yet, they always showed up when I needed them to steer me in the right direction. John has been singularly instrumental in helping me hone and improve my research, particularly Chapter 1. I knew I had something once John was on board. There were times when he was the only person who really understood what I was trying to do, and there were times when he was the only one who could save me from what I was trying to do. I will miss our meetings dearly and thank him for his invaluable advising. Dean has been a constant source of help and advice throughout graduate school. He managed to make me feel like a peer, even as he taught me how to cut through the noise and write a good paper.
