Description: The subject house is a "Folk Victorian" style single family residence, with the original structure built in 1904. It is a one story cross-gabled house with concrete block foundation, 3 tab shingle composition roof on the original roof gables, and "torch-down" composition material on a large flat-roof addition. The house is covered with 7" wide wood tongue and groove siding. There are no fish-scale shingles present on the upper walls at the gables. A 45% increase in building footprint occurred before 1930 with the addition of a massive flat-roofed addition in the back yard. The style of the house, as originally built, would best be classified as "Folk Victorian", but of a simple vernacular-built variety. Research revealed no recorded architect or builder. Comparison of home styles of the era in "A Field Guide To American Houses" (Virginia Savage McAlester, 2013) shows Folk Victorian to be the best style fit, being a one story cross-gabled residential house with tall and narrow 1/1 double hung windows, and remaining door and window trim consistent with Victorian detailing. The street address is 2528 Island Ave in San Diego, California. Block 272, lots 33, 34, and half of lot 35. It lies on the North side of Island Avenue, between 25 th and 26th Streets. It is identified as Tax Assessor's Parcel Number 535-272-26-00. The neighborhood is largely residential, located in the Grant Hill area, and as would be expected is hilly in nature. Windows consist of an assortment of sizes and styles. Only two original Victorian tall and narrow 1/1 double hung windows remain, both on the west fac;:ade. These have heavy headers and detailed trim boards. Cut marks in the tongue and groove siding show that many other original windows have been either replaced with simpler windows of different proportions, or converted into a doorway, or completely removed and patched over. All replacement windows are wider, and not as tall as the original. All doors have been removed and replaced with hollow-core doors, all of which are in bad condition. The original front door location is on the east fac;:ade, and is now a "side door". The frame around this door contains the Victorian heavy header and elaborate trim. A new front door was added to the south fac;:ade, replacing an original window there. The window next to it was also replaced with a shorter, wider window. So the apparent front door of the house was originally not a door at all. There are two doors into the back of the house, on the north fac;:ade. Trim around these doors is simple. One of the door, to the east under a gable, may be in an original location. But the door to the flat-roofed addition would not have been original to the structure. Trim, fascia, and corner boards are largely intact and are useful for determining original footprint and identifying additions. These boards are all simple, with the exception of the handrail "half-posts" set against the wall.

  • Section 4.5 – Cultural and Paleontological Resources
    4.5 Cultural and Paleontological Resources 4.5 CULTURAL AND PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section evaluates the cultural and paleontological resources impacts of the proposed Plan. The information presented was compiled from multiple sources as noted throughout the section. 4.5.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS 4.5.1.1 CULTURAL SETTING Prehistoric Setting The discussion below briefly summarizes the major cultural developments in the region before the arrival of Spanish colonists in 1769. It draws mainly from several decades of archaeological research, which generally recognizes three major periods (Paleoindian, or Paleoamerican; Archaic; and Late Prehistoric), each marked by certain changes in the archaeological record. These archaeological changes appear to reflect a variety of shifts in technology, settlement, and land use. Of the 109 federally recognized Indian tribes in California, 18 are located in San Diego County. The tribal members of today's bands represent four Indian cultural/linguistic groups who have populated this entire region for more than 10,000 years, taking advantage of its abundant natural resources and diverse ecological system for their livelihoods. As described in proposed Plan Appendix G, the four nations are: the Luiseno, Cahuilla, Cupeno, and Kumeyaay. Paleoamerican Period (12,000 to 7,000 Years Before Present [B.P.]) Despite decades of research, the early prehistory of coastal southern California remains poorly understood. The archaeological record does reveal that humans had appeared by about 13,000 years ago on the Channel Islands, where they lived primarily by fishing and shellfishing. These early island components are of interest in that they seem to reflect fully developed maritime economies that were distinct from, but roughly contemporaneous with, the Clovis tradition represented throughout much of interior North America.

  • Inspired by Mexico: Architect Bertram Goodhue Introduces Spanish Colonial Revival Into Balboa Park
    Inspired by Mexico: Architect Bertram Goodhue Introduces Spanish Colonial Revival into Balboa Park By Iris H.W. Engstrand G. Aubrey Davidson’s laudatory address to an excited crowd attending the opening of the Panama-California Exposition on January 1, 1915, gave no inkling that the Spanish Colonial architectural legacy that is so familiar to San Diegans today was ever in doubt. The buildings of this exposition have not been thrown up with the careless unconcern that characterizes a transient pleasure resort. They are part of the surroundings, with the aspect of permanence and far-seeing design...Here is pictured this happy combination of splendid temples, the story of the friars, the thrilling tale of the pioneers, the orderly conquest of commerce, coupled with the hopes of an El Dorado where life 1 can expand in this fragrant land of opportunity. G Aubrey Davidson, ca. 1915. ©SDHC #UT: 9112.1. As early as 1909, Davidson, then president of the Chamber of Commerce, had suggested that San Diego hold an exposition in 1915 to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal. When City Park was selected as the site in 1910, it seemed appropriate to rename the park for Spanish explorer Vasco Nuñez de Balboa, who had discovered the Pacific Ocean and claimed the Iris H. W.

  • The Making of the Panama-California Exposition, 1909-1915 by Richard W
    The Journal of San Diego History SAN DIEGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY Winter 1990, Volume 36, Number 1 Thomas L. Scharf, Editor The Making of the Panama-California Exposition, 1909-1915 by Richard W. Amero Researcher and Writer on the history of Balboa Park Images from this article On July 9, 1901, G. Aubrey Davidson, founder of the Southern Trust and Commerce Bank and Commerce Bank and president of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, said San Diego should stage an exposition in 1915 to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal. He told his fellow Chamber of Commerce members that San Diego would be the first American port of call north of the Panama Canal on the Pacific Coast. An exposition would call attention to the city and bolster an economy still shaky from the Wall Street panic of 1907. The Chamber of Commerce authorized Davidson to appoint a committee to look into his idea.1 Because the idea began with him, Davidson is called "the father of the exposition."2 On September 3, 1909, a special Chamber of Commerce committee formed the Panama- California Exposition Company and sent articles of incorporation to the Secretary of State in Sacramento.3 In 1910 San Diego had a population of 39,578, San Diego County 61,665, Los Angeles 319,198 and San Francisco 416,912. San Diego's meager population, the smallest of any city ever to attempt holding an international exposition, testifies to the city's extraordinary pluck and vitality.4 The Board of Directors of the Panama-California Exposition Company, on September 10, 1909, elected Ulysses S.

    ‘Bodega’ Bear Flag Revolt The untold story of how Captain (Bodega Corners) Smith was the primary supporter of the Revolt Major Dates in California (and West County) History During this tumultuous time, the1840’s are when everything happened at once. This was the climax to America’s Manifest Destiney (when the US expansion to the western shore was uninvited, but inevitable).

Alta California was always an after thought to Spain, but now even less control or direction came out of Mexico City, so the Californios were left on their own.

  • Restoration of a San Diego Landmark Casa De Bandini, Lot 1, Block 451
    1 Restoration of a San Diego Landmark BY VICTOR A. WALSH Casa de Bandini, Lot 1, Block 451, 2600 Calhoun Street, Old Town SHP [California Historical Landmark #72, (1932); listed on National Register of Historic Places (Sept. 3, 1971) as a contributing building] From the far side of the old plaza, the two-story, colonnaded stucco building stands in the soft morning light—a sentinel to history. Originally built 1827-1829 by Don Juan Bandini as a family residence and later converted into a hotel, boarding house, olive pickling factory, and tourist hotel and restaurant, the Casa de Bandini is one of the most significant historic buildings in the state.1 In April 2007, California State Parks and the new concessionaire, Delaware North & Co., embarked on a multi-million dollar rehabilitation and restoration of this historic landmark to return it to its appearance as the Cosmopolitan Hotel of the early 1870s. This is an unprecedented historic restoration, perhaps the most important one currently in progress in California. Few other buildings in the state rival the building’s scale or size (over 10,000 square feet) and blending of 19th-century Mexican adobe and American wood-framing construction techniques. It boasts a rich and storied history—a history that is buried in the material fabric and written and oral accounts left behind by previous generations. The Casa and the Don Bandini would become one of the most prominent men of his day in California. Born and educated in Lima, Peru and the son of a Spanish master trader, he arrived in San Diego around 1822.2 In 1827, Governor José María Echeandia granted him and, José Antonio Estudillo, his future father-in-law, adjoining house lots on the plaza, measuring “…100 varas square (or 277.5 x 277.5’) in common,….”3 Through his marriage to Dolores Estudillo and, after her death in 1833, to Refugio Argüello, the daughter of another influential Spanish Californio family, Bandini carved out an illustrious career as a politician, civic leader, and rancher.
