Chapter 1: Architectural and Social Background HAIGHT-ASHBURY AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO THE COUNTERCULTURE MOVEMENT A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Historic Preservation and Planning by Ethan James Potter August 2020 i © 2020 Ethan James Potter i ABSTRACT The City of San Francisco, specifically the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, was the epicenter of the American Counterculture Movement in the mid to late sixties. The social, cultural, and political impact of this movement is vast and widely known. This thesis provides a themed historical narrative of the Haight-Ashbury, specifically about its role in the Counterculture Movement. There are three major themes that explore the history of both the Counterculture Movement and Haight-Ashbury. Significant planning and preservation efforts for Haight-Ashbury, since the sixties, are also surveyed. Subjects such as intangible culture, history, city planning, and architecture are examined as they pertain to Haight-Ashbury and the Counterculture Movement. ii BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Ethan Potter is, above all, passionate for history. He grew up in Sammamish Washington, playing baseball and football. He studied history, English, and anthropology at Washington State University graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in History. He then worked in education as a tutor and a docent. Ethan decided to pursue a degree in Historic Preservation for its ability to educate the public about history. Ethan was inspired to pursue history after reading Carl L. Becker’s 1930 speech, “Every Man A Historian,” which demonstrates how historical research is conducted by nearly everyone, every day. Historic Preservation proved to be a great medium to pursue both of his interests. More specific research interests include vernacular cultural landscapes, American sports and music history, rural communities, architectural history, castrametation, and geography of the American West. Ethan enjoys reading, cycling, and golf. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I thank Professor Michael A. Tomlan for his constant support and guidance throughout my two years at Cornell University. In his role as Committee Chair, Professor Tomlan assisted me at all stages on this thesis and provided invaluable advice. Our weekly discussions about topics of all sorts helped to guide, inspire, and satiate my increasing interest in all things historic preservation. Professor Tomlan’s breadth and depth of knowledge is second to none, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from him. Professor Jeff Chusid, my second committee member, has helped my growth as a student of historic preservation substantially. Professor Chusid imparted his knowledge of California history, cultural landscapes, architecture, and materials to me. His passion for preservation emanates and inspires. It has been a true honor to study under both of these scholars. I also wish to thank Donna Graves, Pilar LaValley from San Francisco Planning, William Beutner from San Francisco Heritage and Brian Turner from the National Trust for Historic Preservation for giving their generous help to my research. Lastly, I thank my family, specifically, my parents, Ted and Adriana. Without their unconditional and constant love and support, none of what I have accomplished would have been possible. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................... ii BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH ......................................................................................... iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ............................................................................................. iv LIST OF FIGURES ....................................................................................................... vi INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................................... 1 CHAPTER 1: ARCHITECTURAL AND SOCIAL BACKGROUND ...................... 10 CHAPTER 2: HEALTH AND WELLNESS ............................................................... 46 CHAPTER 3: POLITICS THROUGH ART ................................................................ 73 CHAPTER 4: ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT, COMMERCE ...................................... 104 CHAPTER 5: HAIGHT-ASHBURY’S CONTINUED EVOLUTION ..................... 155 CHAPTER 6: PRESERVATION IN THE HAIGHT-ASHBURY ............................ 173 CONCLUSION .......................................................................................................... 200 BIBLIOGRAPHY ...................................................................................................... 206 APPENDIX ................................................................................................................ 215 v LIST OF FIGURES 1.1: The Cole Valley Lange Dairy, Ca. 1870. http://www.outsidelands.org/almshouse-road.php 1.2: Stanyan Park Hotel after rehabilitation. https://noehill.com/sf/landmarks/nat1983001235.asp 1.3: View from the top of the Chutes. http://www.foundsf.org/index.php?title=The_Chutes 1.4: Real Estate Map Ca. 1880. http://www.outsidelands.org/podcast/WNP291_Baird_Estate 1.5: The Dudley Stone School. https://opensfhistory.org/Download/wnp37.01893.jpg 1.6: 1779 Haight, Oldest building on Haight Street in Upper Haight. https://goo.gl/maps/oiTxmGo7eAgy6qVAA 1.7 Building Density in the Haight 1919-1970. https://ia801306.us.archive.org/14/items/haightashburybri00sanf/haightashburybri 00sanf.pdf. 1.8 SF Heritage 1987 Haight-Ashbury Tour Map Scanned by Author in The Haight: History and Architecture, Heritage Newsletter Vol. XV No. I, April 1987, I-VIII. 1.9 1937 San Francisco Residential Security Map https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/7b1886a2c3594db9b4076f1a063cb49f 1.10: Coexistence Bagel Shop in North Beach. https://ids.si.edu/ids/deliveryService?max=800&id=AAA-AAA_greemark_28241 vi 1.11: Map of North Beach in a café located in the Tea Room and Coffee Gallery. https://ids.si.edu/ids/deliveryService?max=800&id=AAA-AAA_greemark_29350 1.12: Muir Beach Acid Test Poster. https://woodstockwhisperer.info/page/201/ 2.1: Timothy Leary at the Human Be-In. https://americanhistory.si.edu/lisalaw/photoind.htm 2.2: 558 Clayton, Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic. https://goo.gl/maps/HUEYsbMdngWJ6jBf6 2.3: 1915 Page, formerly Far-Fetched Foods. https://goo.gl/maps/VPn2Uz6JuJBPhFCm8 3.1: 924 Howard, Calliope Warehouse Loft. https://goo.gl/maps/MDTsEWNb37ui9EXT8 3.2: ALF Meeting. https://americanhistory.si.edu/lisalaw/photoind.htm 3.3: Dutch Provos with their famous White Bicycle. https://bicycletrax.wordpress.com/2014/04/03/provoking-the-birth-of-bike- sharing/ 3.4: 50 Green Street, former KMPX studios.

BACKGROUND BMC/LPO Section 3.24.190 allows the Council to review any action of the Commission in granting or denying Landmark, Structure of Merit or Historic District status. In order for Council to review the decision on its merits, Council must appeal the NOD. To do so, a Councilmember must move this Information Item to Action and then move to “certify” the decision. Such action must be taken within 15 days from the mailing of the NOD or by December 1, 2020. Such certification to Council shall stay all proceedings in the same manner as the filing of an appeal.

Senza le visioni di questi fotografi, non avremmo occhi per guardare la musica. Si può ascoltare e “ca- pire” Jimi Hendrix senza vedere la sua Stratocaster in fiamme sul palco di Monterey, fissata per sempre da Ed Caraeff? O intuire fino in fondo la deriva amara di Janis Joplin senza il crudo bianco e nero di Jim Marshall che ce la mostra affranta con l’inseparabile bottiglia di Southern Comfort in mano? Nasce così l’immaginario collettivo del rock, legato anche a centinaia di co- pertine di dischi. In questa mostra sfilano almeno una dozzina di classici: dagli album d’esordio di Crosby Stills & Nash e di Stephen Stills in solitario a Morrison Hotel dei Doors, The Kids Are Alright degli Who, al primo disco americano dei Beatles per l’etichetta VeeJay, Hejira di Joni Mitchell, Surre- alistic Pillow dei Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead di Jerry Garcia e compa- gni, Genius Loves Company di Ray Charles, Stage Fright della Band di Robbie Robertson, Desperado degli Eagles e Hotter Than Hell dei Kiss. Il tempismo è tutto. Soprattutto trovarsi come per miracolo all’inizio di qualcosa, ad una magica intersezione col destino che può cambiare la vita di entrambi, fotografo e fotografato. Questo è successo ad astrid Kirchherr con i Beatles ancora giovanissimi ad Amburgo, o a Herb Greene immerso nella ribollente “scena” musicale di San Francisco.

Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

Born in New York City in 1940, David grew up in a Jewish family in Brooklyn. David recounts how an interest in Native American cultures originally brought him to the drums and tells the story of how he acquired his first drum kit at the age of 15. David explains that as an adolescent he aspired to be an artist and consequently attended Cooper Union after graduating from high school. David recounts his decision to leave New York in 1960 and drive out to California, where he immediately enrolled at the San Francisco Art Institute and soon after started playing music with fellow artists. David explains how he became the drummer for Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1966 and reminisces about the legendary Monterey Pop Festival they performed at the following year. He shares numerous stories about Janis Joplin and speaks movingly about his grief upon hearing the news of her death. David discusses the various bands he played in after the dissolution of Big Brother and the Holding Company, as well as the many places he performed over the years in Marin County. He concludes his oral history with a discussion of his family: his daughters Alarza and Liz, both of whom are singer- songwriters, and his wife Joan Payne, an actress and singer.

  • The Orkustra
    THE ORKUSTRA This day-by-day diary of The Orkustra's live, studio, broadcasting and private activities is the result of two decades of research and interview work by Bruno Ceriotti, but without the significant contributions by other kindred spirits this diary would not have been possible. So, I would like to thank all the people who, in one form or another, contributed to this timeline: Jaime Leopold (RIP), Bobby Beausoleil, David LaFlamme, Henry Rasof, Nathan Zakheim, Stephen Hannah, Jesse Barish, Steve LaRosa, Rod Harper (RIP), Colin Hill, Ross Hannan, Corry Arnold, William Hjortsberg, Aldo Pedron, Klemen Breznikar, Reg E. Williams, Charles Perry, Penny DeVries, Claire Hamilton, Lessley Anderson, Ralph J. Gleason (RIP), Craig Fenton, Alec Palao, Johnny Echols, 'Cousin Robert' Resner, Roman Garcia Albertos, James Marshall, Chester Kessler, Gene Anthony, Christopher Newton, Loren Means, The San Francisco Examiner, San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Oracle, and Berkeley Barb. September 1966 Undoubtedly the most experimental and ecletically diverse band of the so-called 'San Francisco Sound', The Orkustra were put together by the infamous Bobby Beausoleil. A larger than life character with a mixed reputation ("He was like Bugs Bunny," says Orkustra's bandmate Nathan Zakheim. "Very in your face, enthuastic."), Robert Kenneth Beausoleil, aka 'Cupid', aka 'Bummer Bob', aka 'Bobby Snofox', was born on Thursday, November 6, 1947, in Santa Barbara, California. After dropping out of high school and let his hair grow out, Bobby moved to Los Angeles in search of fame and fortune in 1965. There, over the summer, he played a six-string rhythm guitar with The Grass Roots, a folk- rock band later known as LOVE, for only three weeks, and also made a cameo appearance (as 'Cupid') in the famous underground documentary movie Mondo Hollywood.

  • Introduction in Their Thirty Years Together, the Grateful Dead Forever
    Introduction In their thirty years together, the Grateful Dead forever altered the way in which popular music is performed, recorded, heard, marketed, and shared. Founding members Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, and Bob Weir took the name Grateful Dead in 1965, after incarnations as Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions and The Warlocks. Despite significant changes in the band’s lineup, including the addition of Mickey Hart and the death of Ron McKernan, the band played together until Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. From the beginning, the Grateful Dead distinguished themselves by their preference for live performance, musical and business creativity, and an unprecedented dedication to their fans. Working musicians rather than rock stars, the Dead developed a distinctive sound while performing as latter-day American troubadours, bringing audio precision to their live performances and the spontaneity of live performances to their studio work. Side-stepping the established rules of the recording industry, the Dead took control of the production and distribution of their music. With a similar business savvy, they introduced strategic marketing innovations that strengthened the bond with their fans. This exhibition, the first extensive presentation of materials from the Grateful Dead Archive housed at the University of California, Santa Cruz, testifies to the enduring impact of the Grateful Dead and provides a glimpse into the social upheavals and awakenings of the late twentieth century—a transformative period that profoundly shaped our present cultural landscape.
