The context was initially developed in 2011 and partially funded with a 2010-2011 Certified Local Government grant from the California Office of Historic Preservation. Following completion of SurveyLA field surveys in 2016, the context was subsequently revised by the City Office of Historic Resources (OHR) to further refine themes and associated property types and to incorporate specific findings from SurveyLA. Refer to www.HistoricPlacesLA.org for information on both designated resources associated and with this context as well as those identified through SurveyLA and other surveys. CONTRIBUTORS LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA) worked under contract to the OHR to complete the Industrial Development historic context statement (20110 version). LSA contracted portions of the context to Chattel Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (Chattel) and worked with OHR volunteers and interns. Individuals who contributed to the context are listed below.1 • Tanya Sorrell, LSA (project manager) • Jenna Snow, Chattel • Shane Swerdlow, Chattel • Marissa Moshier, Chattel • Kathryn McGee, Chattel • Sylvia Schweri, Chattel • April Sommer Rabnera, Intern (Chattel) • Jennifer Thornton, Intern (LSA) • Mary Ringhoff, Intern (Office of Historic Resources) INTRODUCTION Los Angeles’ industrial legacy is rich and diverse and represents a wide range of industries. From its early agricultural roots, Los Angeles became known nationwide in the twentieth century for its oil, aviation, entertainment, garment, and aerospace industries. The city remains the largest manufacturing center in the West and has one of the world’s busiest shipping ports and airports. Industrial property types include both individual buildings and historic districts located primarily north and south of Downtown, in the San Pedro/Wilmington areas, and scattered throughout the San Fernando Valley. Even though Los Angeles has some of the most remarkably intact industrial areas in the country, only a handful of individual industrial resources are designated under local, state, or federal programs and there are no designated industrial historic districts in the city. Industrial development in Los Angeles over the 19th and 20th centuries had a profound and wide- ranging impact on the form and character of the city. From its agrarian birth in the Rancho and early 1 All team members have subsequently moved on to other positions. Page | 1 SurveyLA Citywide Historic Context Statement Industrial Development, 1850-1980 agricultural economy, to its rise as an important industrial port city, to its prominence on the national stage in post-World War II manufacturing, Los Angeles has experienced several waves of industrial expansion over time. The inherent diversity of the city’s industrial activity is reflected in the built environment through many important historic industrial sites, factories, and infrastructure. The industrial context includes themes relating to key industries, industrial firms, and industrialists that shaped Los Angeles as well as industrial building types and architectural styles. While some of the resources are utilitarian, deriving their importance from the expression of the technology employed in their construction, others are high style and designed by some of the city’s most prominent architects and architectural firms. RECORDING AND EVALUATING INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES Resource Types: Individual Resources and Historic Districts Property types range from single buildings to large industrial districts. Historic districts are generally located in industrial-zoned areas of the city and include with multiple contributing and non- contributing resource representing a variety of industries, industrial functions, and building types.

    Harvesting Floral Greens in Western Washington As Value-Addition: Labor Issues and Globalization Heidi Ballard1*, Don Collins2, Antonio Lopez2 , James Freed3

    Meeting of the International Association for the Study of Common Property June 17-21, 2002 Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe Harvesting Floral Greens in Western Washington as Value-Addition: Labor Issues and Globalization Heidi Ballard1*, Don Collins2, Antonio Lopez2 , James Freed3 Paper submitted for Panel entitled: “Turning Forests into Economic Assets: Local Value-Addition and Globalization” ABSTRACT: One of the ways that communities can use value-added activities to transform their forests into economic assets is to add their labor to the resource. To this end, ethnically diverse communities of interest in western Washington and Oregon are increasingly harvesting wild non-timber forest products (NTFP’s), particularly floral greens, from both private and public lands. Harvesters, primarily from Latin American countries, hand-pick a variety of species, often using very little in the way of technology or initial capital investment. However, with new access to refrigeration containers and global markets, these floral greens are shipped primarily to Western Europe, competing directly with other floral greens species grown on plantations in the tropics. Rules of access to the land vary from landowner to landowner, and may or may not require documentation, contracts, and permitting fees that are difficult to obtain for many harvesters. Floral greens harvesters in the Pacific Northwest therefore face a variety of challenges in the face of globalization, and have developed a number of ways to approach their unique labor context. Though harvesters work primarily as individuals or small groups in their negotiations with landowners and wholesalers, recently, one group has formed an association that can collectively bargain with landowners and wholesalers for better land access and better prices for their product.
  • Eternal Lies Addendum – Local Newspapers

    Eternal Lies Addendum – Local Newspapers

    ETERNAL LIES ADDENDUM – LOCAL NEWSPAPERS This addendum to the Alexandrian Remix of Eternal Lies adds historically-sourced local newspapers to all of the major locations of the campaign. I have not researched papers for New York (the PCs spend so little time there; and, if in doubt, use the New York Times) or Thibet (the PCs are in such an isolated location that newspapers are unlikely to be available, except perhaps for an international edition of a paper like the Paris Herald Tribune, as described under Bangkok newspapers). Hitting up the morgues of local papers for leads has become such a standard procedural element for Cthulhu-esque investigators that I probably don’t need to pontificate upon it at any great length here. It should be noted that the original campaign references a number of specific newspapers in which specific articles of note are published; those are generally not mentioned here (although obviously they also exist). The purpose of this resource is to provide a firm foundation for the GM to improvise from when the PCs go off the beaten path and begin performing unanticipated background research. When I originally ran the campaign, I also found that it was not particularly uncommon for the globetrotting PCs to specifically request a local newspaper upon checking into a new hotel. Being able to reference specific papers (with a few personalizing factoids to distinguish one broadsheet from another) proved to be a remarkably effective and immersive technique that can contribute greatly to the meaningful sensation of the campaign moving through space and culture.

    Historic-Era Domestic Refuse Deposits Are a Commonly Encountered Resource Type but Do Not Always Yield Important Information Through Archaeological Data Alone

    DOMESTIC LIFE IN TURN-OF-THE-CENTURY LOS ANGELES: CONTEXTUALIZING A HISTORIC-PERIOD ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE MADELEINE T. BRAY AND MONICA STRAUSS ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATES, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Historic-era domestic refuse deposits are a commonly encountered resource type but do not always yield important information through archaeological data alone. Historical records can enhance and complement archaeological data. In 2013-2014, 25 historic-period refuse deposit features were documented during construction monitoring in downtown Los Angeles. The features were associated with a brief period of residential development between the 1880s and 1920s. Review of historical materials helped to identify and interpret the nature and duration of occupation and the demography, socioeconomic status, and cultural background of the people associated with the features. Domestic refuse deposits are a frequently encountered type of historic-era archaeological feature, particularly in an environment such as downtown Los Angeles, which has been occupied by Euro- Americans since the late eighteenth century. In particular, such features are common in areas inhabited prior to the advent of municipal garbage collection in the late nineteenth century, when residents would often dispose of garbage in pits or as sheet refuse on their properties. In 2013-2014, 25 refuse deposit features were recorded during the course of construction monitoring in downtown Los Angeles in advance of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) La Kretz Innovation Campus project. The archaeological features were recorded as a single site under the trinomial CA-LAN-4460H. The site is located within the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles and encompasses a 3.16-acre city block, surrounded by Palmetto Street on the south, Colyton Street on the west, Fifth Street on the north, and Hewitt Street (historically Carolina Street) on the east (Figure 1).
