Description: (continued) The two-car garage is attached to the south rear bedroom, but is accessed by a short cobblestone staircase to the side garage door. Only the living room windows face Norma Drive, as the remainder of the windows are screened by the stucco wall, gate, and garage. The interior is open beam ceiling, hand­ applied wall plaster with sculpted beehive fireplace, built-in bookshelves and niches, and all the original hand-made cabinetry with the original painted floral designs and cabinet coloration. The original tile and hardwood floors exist. The original paneled front door, wood framed screen doors, wooden window grills, wood framed casement windows, and wood framed French doors all survive. A small fish pond and fire box are tucked inside the stucco wall and are not visible from the street. The landscape is defined by a white stucco wall that spans the length of the sidewalk along the majority of the lot, but ending as the road curves towards Constance Drive. The wall is draped with bougainvillea and other ornamental vines. The south/southwest elevation is a long stucco wall with the living room on the north and garage on the south. The south end of the wall exhibits a small window with yellow-painted vertical wood grills. The north end is the living room that faces a large tree and cacti and succulent ground cover separated by stepping stones. The lawnstrip out front exhibits several tall palm trees separated by clumps of fountain grass. Hedges with orange flowers hug the stucco wall, as it turns away from the house toward the sidewalk. A large pair of salmon-orange colored gates are set in the center of the wall. Just opposite is a concrete lamp post. Further south is a small window and double sliding garage doors.

    DATE ISSUED: April 10, 2014 REPORT NO. HRB-14-031 ATTENTION: Historical Resources Board Agenda of April 24, 2014 SUBJECT: ITEM #9 – Cliff May House APPLICANT: Dampier Family Trust represented by Marie Burke Lia LOCATION: 4338 Adams Avenue, Kensington-Talmadge Community, Council District 9 DESCRIPTION: Consider the designation of the Cliff May House located at 4338 Adams Avenue as a historical resource. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Designate the Cliff May House located at 4338 Adams Avenue as a historical resource with a period of significance of 1935 under HRB Criteria A, C and D. The designation excludes the 691 square foot second story addition constructed in 1967. This recommendation is based on the following findings: 1. The resource is a special element of the City’s architectural and aesthetic development and retains integrity. Specifically, the resource, designed by Master Architect Cliff May as his personal residence, is one of his seminal designs in which he explored his personal Hispanic heritage and its influence on his design philosophy. Through experimenting in the design of his own home, he developed his California Rancheria style and marketed the subject property as the embodiment of this new style that blended the romance and charm of early California design with modern living in an affordable package. 2. The resource embodies the distinctive characteristics through the retention of character defining features of the California Rancheria style and retains a good level of architectural integrity from its period of significance.

  • Gallegos 1 Laura Gallegos Dr. L. Jones History
    Gallegos 1 Laura Gallegos Dr. L. Jones History 184 28 April 2005 Cliff May and the California Ranch House “A ranch house, because of its name alone, borrows friendliness, implicitly, informality, and gaiety from the men and women who, in the past, found those pleasures in ranch- house living.” –Cliff May 19461 It is no secret that the weather in California is one of the most sought after in the United States. When the Rose Bowl is televised throughout the United States on New Year’s Day, inquires by potential homebuyers from out of state increase dramatically. Thus it comes as no surprise why Cliff May created the modern California ranch house that was made specifically to embrace the sunny and warm California days and nights. There is no doubt that Cliff May should be included in this architectural book that celebrates California’s most talented architects. May’s ability to modernize the California ranch house to fit the contemporary American family and making it available to the masses is how he earned his place in this book. To understand Cliff May and his designs, one must first understand the origins of the ranch house. The original California ranch house began when the Spaniards inhabited the state. Their homes were unique to the area in their methods of construction. In order to properly support the heavy roof, the adobe walls had to be at least three feet wide and because the house had no foundation, it had to be close to the ground, therefore restricting its height. Low roofs allowed for a deep overhang which would protect the 1 Faragher, John Mack.

  • 3 Term—Day—Time: Spring 2021—Tuesdays—10:00Am-12:50
    TOPICS IN MODERN ARCHITECTURE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ARCH 404 Units: 3 Term—Day—Time: Spring 2021—Tuesdays—10:00am-12:50pm Location: ZOOM Instructor: Kenneth Breisch Office Hours: Tuesdays—2-3pm or by appointment Contact Info: [email protected] (I will respond to emails/voicemails within 24 hours Monday-Friday, and on the Monday following a weekend or holiday break) Class Assistant: Ani Mnatsakanyan Contact Info: [email protected] COURSE DESCRIPTION There are few regions in the world where it is more exciting to explore the scope of twentieth-century architecture than in Southern California. It is here that European and Asian influences combined with the local environment, culture, politics and vernacular traditions to create an entirely new vocabulary of regional architecture and urban form. Lecture topics range from the stylistic influences of the Arts and Crafts Movement and European Modernism to the impact on architecture and planning of the automobile, World War II, or the USC School of Architecture during the 1950s. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By the end of this course, students will be able to: 1. read and interpret architectural plans, sections and elevations 2. Identify major periods of development and architects in the history of Southern California architecture, planning and landscape design from prehistory to the present day 3. Critically analyze the relationship between architectural or landscape forms (sometimes identified with the idea of style) and the cultural, political and economic forces that shaped them PREREQUISITE(S): Students in this class come from a broad range of disciplines, some of whom will have a background in architecture, but this is not necessary to take this class.
