City Landmark Assessment and Evaluation Report City Landmark Assessment and Evaluation Report Santa Monica Municipal Bus Lines Garage (Santa Monica Antique Market, Inc.) 1613 Lincoln Boulevard (APN: 4283-001-002) Santa Monica, California Prepared for City of Santa Monica Planning Division Prepared by Margarita Wuellner, Ph.D. Amanda Kainer, M.S. Jon Wilson, M.A., M.Arch. PCR Services Corporation Santa Monica, California October 2012 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The subject property, 1613 Lincoln Boulevard, is situated on the east side of Lincoln Boulevard between Colorado Avenue to the north, Olympic Boulevard to the south, Ninth Street to the east, and Seventh Street to the west. The legal description of the property is the Standard Tract, Lot 15. Based on Los Angeles County Tax Assessor records and Santa Monica building permits, it appears that the original improvements to the property, a 18,890 square foot Municipal Bus Garage, were made in 1933. Regulatory Setting The subject property has been identified and assessed under the City’s ongoing survey process on two previous occasions. The Municipal Bus Garage was first identified and recorded as part of the Phase 3 Survey in 1994.1 The subject property was recommended eligible as a Santa Monica Local Landmark and given a California Historic Resources Status Code of 5S1. The subject property was found eligible for its significant historical association with the economic development and transportation industry in Santa Monica, with the period of significance being 1875-1943: This property is significant for its association with the transportation industry in Santa Monica. By the late 19th century, Santa Monica had several trolley lines within the town and was connected to Los Angeles by the Pacific Electric Company. By the late 1920s, however, it was apparent that the automobile would be the dominant form of transportation in the future. Two bus lines were established, one private, one city-owned. This bus barn was built to service the municipal line in 1933. In 1951, the Santa Monica Municipal Bus Lines bought out Bay City Transit, forming the company which still provides service in the City today. The subject property was later reassessed during the 2006-07 Citywide Historic Resources Inventory Update.2 According to the survey, the subject property retained the prior recommendation (appears to be individually eligible for local listing or designation through survey evaluation) and was assigned a California Historic Resources Status Code of 5S3. Records Review PCR Services conducted a review of previous surveys conducted in Santa Monica and the larger Los Angeles Metropolitan Area for pertinent reports on the history of early bus transportation. A Determination of Eligibility Report for the Metro Division 2 Bus Repair Garage (Los Angeles Railway (LARy) 16th Street Bus Repair Garage), constructed in 1927, recommended the Los Angeles Railway (LARy) 16th Street Bus Repair Garage eligible for National Register listing under Criterion A for its association with the transportation history 1 City of Santa Monica Phase 3 Survey (1994). The property was recorded with the address of 1607 Lincoln Boulevard. 2 Historic Resources Inventory Update for the City of Santa Monica (September 30, 1995). City Landmark Assessment and Evaluation Report 1613 Lincoln Boulevard (APN: 4283-001-002) October 2012 Page 1 of Los Angeles and under Criterion C as an example of an important property type, an early bus repair facility.3 PCR also reviewed designated landmarks in Santa Monica and Los Angeles for related mass transit property types. In Los Angeles, there are number of Historic Cultural Monuments related to transportation including, Angel’s Flight, 4th Street and Hill (LAHCM# 4); Palms - Southern Pacific Railroad Depot, 3800 Homer Street (LAHCM# 22); Ivy Substation (LAHCM# 182); Watts Station, 1686-1690 E. 103rd Street, (LAHCM# 36); River Station Area, 1231 N. Spring Street, (LAHCM# 82); Los Angeles Union Station Passenger Terminal and Grounds, 800-850 N. Alameda Street (LAHCM# 101); Mount Washington Cable Car Station, 200-202 W. Avenue 43 (LAHCM# 269); Los Angeles Railway Huron Substation, 2640 N. Huron Street (LAHCM# 404); Canoga Park (original Owensmouth Southern Pacific R.R. Station, 21355 Sherman Way (LAHCM# 488); and Belmont Tunnel / Toluca Substation Yard, 1304 W 2nd St (LAHCM# 790). However, it appears that there are no bus garages designated as Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monuments or Santa Monica Landmarks. ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION The Santa Monica Municipal Bus Lines Garage was designed by architect Charles Burke and constructed by the City of Santa Monica in 1933.4 The floor plan of the building is trapezoidal and the building has scored concrete-slab floors. Structurally, the primary street- fronting elevation has reinforced masonry exterior walls (stuccoed) with engaged masonry piers and the secondary walls are masonry with reinforced, engaged brick piers on the interior supporting the wide-spanning steel trusses. The arched roof with skylights is of built- up wood frame construction and is covered by composite asphalt roofing. The primary façade (Figure 1) is covered in stucco and is structurally divided into five bays by six engaged wall piers topped by stylized pyramidal finials. There is an arched parapet over the large center bay between the engaged wall piers. The parapet was designed to hide the large arched roof behind the parapet and therefore mirrors the shape of roof. While in their original location, the windows and doors in the openings on the front elevation are later replacements. The window openings on the secondary elevations (Figure 2) have been filled with brick or concrete block and are stuccoed. The rear elevation has a reinforced concrete addition (stuccoed). There is a small parking lot in front and a parking lot at the rear of the building. Photographs documenting existing conditions are provided in the attached exhibit. 3 Determination of Eligibility Report for the Metro Division 2 Bus Repair Garage, Los Angeles, California, prepared by ICF Jones & Stokes, September 2009; Historic Property Survey Report for the California Incline, Santa Monica, California, prepared by ICF Jones & Stokes, August, 2010. 4 Research in the historical Los Angeles Times, AIA Historical Directory of American Architects, Avery Index, California Index, Biographical Dictionary of American Architects (Deceased), Imagine Santa Monica, and Santa Monica Historical Resources Inventory Phase 2 Final Report (1985-1986) did not reveal other projects designed by Charles Burke. Charles Burke is listed as the architect on the Santa Monica “Application for Building Permit” Number 5004 for the construction of the Municipal Bus Garage. His address is listed as 2332 5th Street and no state license number is listed. City Landmark Assessment and Evaluation Report 1613 Lincoln Boulevard (APN: 4283-001-002) October 2012 Page 2 Alterations Several alterations and additions have occurred since 1933. On the primary façade, the original bus-sized garage door openings were in-filled with replacement windows and doors and arched awnings were inserted over the openings at an unknown date, most likely during the occupation of the Santa Monica Antique Market, about 1991. During the 1950s, a rear addition was constructed. In 1959, the front elevation was sandblasted and later recoated with a thin layer of stucco. From the comparison of historic photographs with existing conditions, it appears the exterior was originally painted or finished with stucco. In 1965, a building alteration permit records that three windows along the north elevation were in-filled with brick or concrete block. Subsequently all of the windows on the north elevation were in- filled with brick or concrete block. In 1970, Otto Zipper Alfa installed signage on the primary elevation. In 1991, the Santa Monica Antique Market occupied the building and earlier tenant improvements were removed and the interior of the building remodeled. Although the large, open-plan utilitarian garage space now accommodates partitioned commercial uses, the original exposed wide-spanning steel trusses supporting the roof remain extant. The intact arched roof system is still supported by the original steel-reinforced, exposed structural masonry exterior wall system. There are nineteen building permits on record with the City of Santa Monica for the property between 1933 and 1991 (see Table 1 below).

By November of that year, studies by the Local Agency Formation Commission confirmed that incorporation was indeed economically feasible. Tenants led by the Coalition for Economic Survival, homeowners concerned with planning issues and the gay community were among the leading advocates of cityhoog. Formal application was made on April 4, 1984. On November 4, 1984, by a 4:1 favorable margin, the voters approved incorporation . One of the new city's first tasks was to begin to draft a General Plan , the land use policy document for the municipality required· by State law. In January of 1985, the city began the process of preparing the Plan, noting that the physical environment, social character and quality of life within the City would be influenced by the General Plan. It was a stated goal to link land use and urban design, emphasizing the relationship between parcels and uses throughout the city. A reduction of density from those outlined in the West Hollywood Community Plan, .---- prepared before incorporated by the County of Los Angeles, was planned. As an i ntegral part of this planning process. the city of West Hollywood applied for c survey grant from the State Off ice of Historic Preservation in November of 1985 . 1.2 DEVELOPMENT HISTORY The area now known as West Hollywood has played a key role in t h e development of Los Angeles County west of Los Angeles .

Refer to www.HistoricPlacesLA.org for information on designated resources associated with this context as well as those identified through SurveyLA and other surveys. CONTRIBUTOR Daniel Prosser is a historian and preservation architect. He holds an M.Arch. from Ohio State University and a Ph.D. in history from Northwestern University. Before retiring, Prosser was the Historic Sites Architect for the Kansas State Historical Society. INTRODUCTION The “Pre-Consolidation Communities of Los Angeles” context examines those communities that were at one time independent, self-governing cities. These include (presented here as themes): Wilmington, San Pedro, Hollywood, Sawtelle, Eagle Rock, Hyde Park, Venice, Watts, Barnes City, and Tujunga. This context traces the history of each of these cities (up to the point of consolidation with the City of Los Angeles), identifying important individuals and patterns of settlement and development, and then links the events and individuals to extant historic resources (individual resources and historic districts).
