For the past 13 years, Lummis Day has highlighted the diverse and vibrant community of Highland Park through art and history, bringing the community together for a shared experience, and providing a platform for cooperation among people of all ages and backgrounds. I commend the Lummis Day Community Foundation for its commitment to education, advocacy and preservation projects for the benefit of present and future generations. Thank you for bringing this exciting event to Highland Park. Best wishes for a memorable event and continued success. Sincerely, ERIC GARCETTI Mayor Charles Fletcher Inside 200 N.

  • GC 1323 Historic Sites Surveys Repository
    GC 1323 Historic Sites Surveys Repository: Seaver Center for Western History Research, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Span Dates: 1974-1996, bulk 1974-1978 Conditions Governing Use: Permission to publish, quote or reproduce must be secured from the repository and the copyright holder Conditions Governing Access: Research is by appointment only Source: Surveys were compiled by Tom Sitton, former Head of History Department, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Background: In 1973, the History Department of the Natural History Museum was selected to conduct surveys of Los Angeles County historic sites as part of a statewide project funded through the National Preservation Act of 1966. Tom Sitton was appointed project facilitator in 1974 and worked with various historical societies to complete survey forms. From 1976 to 1977, the museum project operated through a grant awarded by the state Office of Historic Preservation, which allowed the hiring of three graduate students for the completion of 500 surveys, taking site photographs, as well as to help write eighteen nominations for the National Register of Historic Places (three of which were historic districts). The project concluded in 1978. Preferred Citation: Historic Sites Surveys, Seaver Center for Western History Research, Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Special Formats: Photographs Scope and Content: The Los Angeles County historic site surveys were conducted from 1974 through 1978. Compilation of data for historic sites continued beyond 1978 until approximately 1996, by way of Sitton's efforts to add application sheets prepared for National Register of Historic Places nominations. These application forms provide a breadth of information to supplement the data found on the original survey forms.

  • Occidental College Response to Lummis Home
    Response to the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks RFP for the Operation and Maintenance of the Lummis Home OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE June 10, 2014 Response to the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks RFP for the Operation and Maintenance of the Lummis Home OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE June 10, 2014 INTRODUCTION El Alisal, the Charles Lummis House, is a historic treasure. But it is currently in need of a substantial amount of repair and restoration. Despite this deterioration, the historic structure retains the potential to become more than what it was even in its heyday. Beyond serving as a reminder of a rich history and an architectural amenity for the neighborhood, it could become a catalyst for local residents of Northeast Los Angeles to reclaim their history and heritage and, in the process, hone their own abilities to project their voices and visions for the future of our metropolis. The Lummis House could become a vital new civic institution for Los Angeles, dedicated to helping residents of Northeast Los Angeles, and throughout the city and the region, recover their own shared past. It is with this vision in mind that Occidental College respectfully offers here a deliberately unconventional response to the Department’s Dec. 3, 2013 Request for Proposals. We believe that an unconventional approach is appropriate to both the opportunity, and the challenges, raised by this nationally significant Historic-Cultural Monument. Careful study has led us to conclude that the terms of the RFP as currently drafted aren’t sufficient to bring about the kind of transformation that the Department clearly has in mind and which we wholeheartedly support.

Nourished by our City’s multicultural population, the creative spirit of Northeast Los Angeles remains vital in its music and dance, its art and its cuisine. Northeast L.A.’s cultural resources are unmatched in Southern California. The Southwest Museum of the American Indian, the city’s oldest museum, towers above the Arroyo. Some of Los Angeles’ architectural treasures, saved from the wrecking ball, are now located a few blocks away, collected at Heritage Square Museum. Also near- by are some of its most historically significant landmarks: Lummis Home and Casa De Adobe. The community is home to the 200 acre Debs Park, the Audubon Center edu- cational facility, the River Center of Cypress Park, Sycamore Grove Park and the sprawling campus of Occidental College. Lummis Day, named for author, adventurer and early advocate of multicultur- alism, Charles Fletcher Lummis, was created to serve as a precedent for future coop- erative efforts among the community groups of Northeast Los Angeles by strengthening ties among the cultural, commercial and community resources that have come together today.

  • West Adams Matters a Spate of Landmark Nominations West Adams Already Is Home to More Individual Historic Landmarks Than Any Other District in Los Angeles
    W^HA West Adams Heritage Association Winter 2007 Number 238 West Adams Matters A Spate of Landmark Nominations West Adams already is home to more individual historic landmarks than any other District in Los Angeles. Even so, there are probably hundreds more West Adams homes and properties eligible for landmark designation. So it should be no surprise to learn that nine West Adams-area properties are currently in the process of potentially becoming City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments (HCM). In January, two endangered properties-the Raphael Soriano-designed Glen Lukens Residence at 3524 West 27th Street, and the Jasper Newton Preston-designed Joseph Starr Farmhouse, 2801 Arlington - both received crucial support from the Glenn Lukins residence designed by City's Cultural Heritage Commission, which voted them to grant them landmark HCM Raphael Soriano status. Both properties will be going forward sometime this Spring to the City Council's Planning and Land Use Committee, and City Council itself for final vote. In the meantime, there have been a spate of nominations in the West Adams area - one from WAHA itself, and others from WAHA members. West Adams Heritage Association has nominated the Waters-Shaw residence located at 2700 Severance Street, between Adams and 28th Street, just off Fraternity Row. It is one of the last substantial residences in the USC area (continued on page 8) Chester Place Book Signing and Stroll Saturday, March 24 2-5 p.m. Mount St. Mary's Doheny Campus, Building 10 WAHA is sponsoring a reception, book signing and author talk with Don Sloper, writer of the new Arcadia Press book, "Los Angeles's Chester Place," at the historic William Bayly Residence ("Building 10," at 10 Chester Place) on the Mount St.
