In 1974, my cousin Jonathan and I were house-sitting four blocks away at Pine and Buchanan, in a majestic, decaying Victorian with a big psychedelic mandala painted in an alcove. We didn’t know it at the time, but our building was a weird precursor to the Summer of Love. In 1965, that stretch of Pine Street had been a pre- Haight hippie scene, with half a dozen houses fi lled with longhairs and deal- ers. Th e downstairs unit had been home to the legendary hippie newspaper the Oracle. Across the street, at 2111 Pine, a rooming house once stood; some of the itinerant musicians there played in a vanished after-hours jazz club three blocks away called Bop City. Th e room- ing house was managed by a guy named Bill Ham, who invented psychedelic light shows. Our block was mostly black and pretty run-down. We used to walk down to Kim’s Market at Pine and Fillmore (now a Kiehl’s, which sells $50 bottles David Johnson’s classic 1946 photograph captured the intersection of the Fillmore and Japantown at Fillmore and Post Streets. of shampoo) to buy our daily $2 ration of sausages, carrots and potatoes.

  • Historic and Conservation Districts in San Francisco
    SAN FRANCISCO PRESERVATION BULLETIN NO. 10 HISTORIC AND CONSERVATION DISTRICTS IN SAN FRANCISCO HISTORIC DISTRICTS -- INTRODUCTION Over the past thirty-five years, the City and County of San Francisco has designated eleven historic districts and six conservation districts and has recognized approximately 30 districts included in the California Register of Historical Resources, the National Register of Historic Places, or named as National Historic Landmark districts. These districts encompass nationally significant areas such as Civic Center and the Presidio National Park; the City’s first commercial center in Jackson Square; warehouse districts such as the Northeast Waterfront and the South End; and residential areas such as Telegraph Hill, Liberty Hill, Alamo Square, Bush Street-Cottage Row and Webster Street. In general, an historic district is a collection of resources (buildings, structures, sites or objects) that are historically, architecturally and/or culturally significant. As an ensemble, resources in an historic district are worthy of protection because of what they collectively tell us about the past. Often, a limited number of architectural styles and types are represented because an historic district is typically developed around a central theme or period of significance. For instance, the theme for a proposed historic district might be “Late 19th century Victorian housing, designed in the Queen Anne style.” Period of significance refers to the span of time during which significant events and activities occurred within the historic district. Events and associations with historic properties are finite; most resources within an historic district have a clearly definable period of significance. A high percentage of buildings located within districts contribute to the understanding of a neighborhood’s or area’s evolution and development through integrity.

  • THE BRILL BUILDING, 1619 Broadway (Aka 1613-23 Broadway, 207-213 West 49Th Street), Manhattan Built 1930-31; Architect, Victor A
    Landmarks Preservation Commission March 23, 2010, Designation List 427 LP-2387 THE BRILL BUILDING, 1619 Broadway (aka 1613-23 Broadway, 207-213 West 49th Street), Manhattan Built 1930-31; architect, Victor A. Bark, Jr. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1021, Lot 19 On October 27, 2009 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the Brill Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark site. The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Three people spoke in support of designation, including representatives of the owner, New York State Assembly Member Richard N. Gottfried, and the Historic Districts Council. There were no speakers in opposition to designation.1 Summary Since its construction in 1930-31, the 11-story Brill Building has been synonymous with American music – from the last days of Tin Pan Alley to the emergence of rock and roll. Occupying the northwest corner of Broadway and West 49th Street, it was commissioned by real estate developer Abraham Lefcourt who briefly planned to erect the world’s tallest structure on the site, which was leased from the Brill Brothers, owners of a men’s clothing store. When Lefcourt failed to meet the terms of their agreement, the Brills foreclosed on the property and the name of the nearly-complete structure was changed from the Alan E. Lefcourt Building to the, arguably more melodious sounding, Brill Building. Designed in the Art Deco style by architect Victor A. Bark, Jr., the white brick elevations feature handsome terra-cotta reliefs, as well as two niches that prominently display stone and brass portrait busts that most likely portray the developer’s son, Alan, who died as the building was being planned.

  • The Bebop Revolution in Jazz by Satyajit Roychaudhury
    The Bebop Revolution in Jazz by Satyajit Roychaudhury The bebop style of jazz is a pivotal invention in twentieth-century American popular music - an outgrowth of the rhythmic and harmonic experiments of young African-American jazz musicians. At first a source of controversy because of its unorthodox approach, bebop eventually gained widespread acceptance as the foundation of "modern" jazz, and it continues to influence jazz musicians. The process of its creation was solidly grounded in New York City. Because of its emphasis on improvisation, jazz has maintained a strong tradition of creative invention throughout its history. This tradition has encouraged jazz musicians to cultivate new musical ideas, based on innovative uses of harmony, rhythm, timbre and instrumentation. Jazz has thus encompassed a continually evolving diversity of individual and collective styles over the past century. The emphasis on improvisation has made live performance a crucial element of the innovation process. During the 1st half of the 20th century the available technology limited the length of the improvisations and live performance served as the primary showcase for jazz musicians' talents. Because performance opportunities for the most talented musicians were concentrated in the entertainment districts of major cities, the creation of new jazz styles became strongly associated with places, such as New Orleans, Chicago, Kansas City, and New York City. Bebop emerged during the 1940s as a reaction “Swing” and as an expression of artistic innovation within a community of younger African-American jazz musicians. Certain jazz clubs in Harlem provided a setting for experimentation that culminated in the bebop style. The style's subsequent popularization occurred in jazz clubs in midtown Manhattan, at first along 52nd Street and later on nearby sections of Broadway.

  • Short Range Transit Plan
    SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN SFMTA.COM Fiscal Year 2017 - Fiscal Year 2030 2 Federal transportation statutes require that the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), in partnership with state and local agencies, develop and periodically update a long-range Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), and a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) which implements the RTP by programming federal funds to transportation projects contained in the RTP. In order to effectively execute these planning and programming responsibilities, MTC requires that each transit operator in its region which receives federal funding through the TIP, prepare, adopt and submit to MTC a Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP). The preparation of this report has been funded in part by a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) through section 5303 of the Federal Transit Act.
