Giessinger, Preservation Architect Office of Historic Resources Office of Historic Resources [SIGNED ORIGINAL IN FILE] Melissa Jones, Planning Assistant Office of Historic Resources Attachments: Historic-Cultural Monument Application CHC-2016-3731-HCM 6111 North Monterey Road; 6112 North Toltec Way; 6117 North Monterey Road Page 2 of 2 SUMMARY The 1938 Lee Residence is a two-story, East Asian Eclectic single-family dwelling with a detached two car garage located at 6111 North Monterey Road between Hardison Way and South Avenue 60 in the Hermon Community. It was constructed by Foss Construction Company for Edgar K. Lee and his family. Edgar Lee (originally Coon Lin Lee) was born in China in 1896 and immigrated to the United States in 1912. Shortly after, in 1917, Lee married an American woman, Alice Stuart, with whom he raised three children. East Asian Eclectic architecture, a derivative and referential style that borrowed forms and ornament directly from ancient buildings in East Asia, emerged as part of the larger Exotic Revival trend in Los Angeles in the 1920s and proliferated on a large (if geographically isolated) scale with the construction of Los Angeles’ New Chinatown in 1938. East Asian communities continued to use the style to define neighborhoods with ethnic associations. The Lee Residence retains many of its original features including multi-lite bay and steel casement windows, decorative half-timbering, a rounded, recessed entryway, decorative terracotta grilles, carved rafter tails, a clay tile roof, and sloped roof corners. Square in plan, the dwelling is clad in textured stucco and has a hipped roof with a distinctive decorative detail at its peak. On the rear façade, there is a one-story enclosed living space with a roof deck. The exterior of the house is mostly intact. The limited alterations include the construction of an addition along the south façade, a pool built in 1980, and recent partial removal of the roof. The Lee Residence was identified in the draft findings of the citywide historic resources survey, SurveyLA, as eligible for designation at the state and local levels as an excellent example of East Asian Eclectic architecture. 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. 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.

    The Gilded Age The Organization of Labor Labor Unions • Although labor unions began forming in the early 1800s, they did not gain any significant member- ship base or bargaining power until the 1860s and 1870s. The harsh, even hazardous, working conditions arising from industrialization drove laborers to organize into unions.

The Knights successfully supported a number of politicians for election and forced laws favorable to workers through Congress.

We chose to capitalize “Black” in order to reflect that we are discussing a group of people and to be consistent with the capitalization of “African American.” Introduction and summary Homeownership and high-quality affordable rental housing are critical tools for wealth building and financial well-being in the United States.1 Knowing this, American lawmakers have long sought to secure land for, reduce barriers to, and expand the wealth-building capacity of property ownership and affordable rental housing. But these efforts have almost exclusively benefited white households; often, they have removed people of color from their homes, denied them access to wealth- building opportunities, and relocated them to isolated communities. Across the country, historic and ongoing displacement, exclusion, and segregation continue to prevent people of color from obtaining and retaining their own homes and accessing safe, affordable housing.

  • Timothy Dean Draper Department: History
    ABSTRACT Name: Timothy Dean Draper Department: History Title: "A Little Kingdom of Mixed Nationalities": Race, Ethnicity, and Class in a Western Urban Community—Rock Springs, Wyoming, 1869-1929 Major: History Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Approved by: Date: Dissertation Director NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. ABSTRACT In 1885, the mining settlement of Rock Springs, Wyoming, witnessed one of the worst episodes of ethnocentric violence in the urban West as Euroamerican miners massacred Chinese laborers and burned Chinatown to the ground. Less than four decades later, in 1926, inhabitants of Rock Springs, including immigrants and natives, Asian Americans and Euroamericans, came together at a time of heightened national ethnic tensions to celebrate the diversity of their municipal community in the first of four annual "International Night" festivals. This study explores the apparently dichotomous reality of Rock Springs from its establishment as a mining camp during the building of the Union Pacific Railroad in the late 1860s to the conclusion of the International Night movement in the mid- to late 1920s The focus of this dissertation centers upon the role of immigrants and their descendents in constructing diverse community networks and how they syncretized those varied networks into a unifying ethos of "municipal community," an identity expressed through their sense of ethno-racial boundaries, western heritage, inter-class cooperation, and negotiation with monopoly capitalism. By focusing on ethnicity, race, class, and region, I address how the inhabitants of Rock Springs negotiated the cultural and material challenges to construction of a community identity posed by a hegemonically inclined Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

  • Knowledge Is Power: the Knights of Labor in South Dakota
    Copyright © 1993 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Knowledge Is Power: The Knights of Labor in South Dakota ERLING N. SANNES South Dakota's first statewide labor organization was the Knights of Labor. Although active for only a few years, it enjoyed remarkable success. Its members helped establish the Australian ballot, child labor legislation, the state Department of Labor, and the Office of Mine Inspector. Yet, the paucity of research on the early organiza- tion of South Dakota labor has made it difficult to recognize these contributions.' Doane Robinson, in his monumental history of South Dakota, made only an indirect reference to the Knights of Labor. Herbert S. Schell mentioned that the organization had locals throughout the state but did not indicate where they were located, A shorter version of this essay was read at the Northern Creat Plains History Con- ference in Mankato, Minn., on 3 Oct. 1991. 1. My research on the Knights of Labor began as a part oí a broader study of organ- ized labor in South Dakota. I had hoped to examine ideological connections and continuity, if any, between organized workers during the later part of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century, but I found it impossible to do so because the primary research had not yet been done. In his ground-breaking study of the knights at the national level, Jonathan Garlock found that many of the stan- dard works on the principal labor and agrarian organizations could not be accepted as a base for a collective history oí labor because little attention had been given to the role of such organizations at the grass-roots level.

  • Anti-Asian Discrimination Is a Public Health Crisis
    Statement Anti-Asian Discrimination is a Public Health Crisis March 4, 2021 (Washington, DC) – The American Academy of Nursing (Academy) strongly condemns the recent rise of anti-Asian attacks and discourse. Hate incidents, such as violence, discrimination, and racism, directly contribute to poor mental health, instill trauma, and exacerbate health inequities. Anti- Asian hate can further perpetuate generational health and impede healing within impacted communities. As leaders of the nursing profession, the Academy strongly reinforces its vision of healthy lives for all people. Since the beginning of the pandemic, racially-motivated violence against Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPI) has increased drastically. In 2019, the FBI found that of the 4,784 hate crime offenses identified to be motivated by race or ethnic bias, “4.3% resulted from anti-Asian bias,” which translates to roughly 206 anti-Asian hate crimes.1 This year, the Stop AAPI Hate coalition reported that they received over 2,808 firsthand accounts of anti-Asian hate between March and December 2020.2 That represents an over 1200% increase in anti-Asian violence in under a single year. Discrimination against AAPI individuals unfortunately not a new phenomenon in the United States. This has persisted since at least the mid-19th century – from hate crimes such as the Chinese Massacre of 18713 and Rock Springs Massacre of 1885,4 to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 18825 which banned Chinese immigrants from becoming citizens, effectively until the passage of the Immigration Act of 1965.6 And February 19th marked the anniversary of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066, which authorized the relocation of over 100,000 individuals of Japanese ancestry to internment camps during World War II.7 It is important to remember this history of violence and racism to provide further context to the events of today.
