Executive Summary Introduction The Ole Hansen Beach Club, completed in 1928, is a significant historic resource and an important community facility for the City of San Clemente. The building and pool have been in continued public use since that time. The City recognized the need for functional, structural and code-related improvements and in November 2011, a design team led by Architectural Resources Group (ARG) was contracted to undertake an assessment of the building and site and development of conceptual design alternatives. Project Goals The goals for the project are to attain the most cost effective approach for: • Immediate and long-term repair of the building • Space programming for the pool and for public and private events and activities • Repair and rehabilitation of historic features • Structural and system upgrades for accessibility and public safety Methodology ARG and VCA (civil), Korn-Randolph (landscape), Structural Focus (structural), Budlong Associates (mechanical-electrical-plumbing), Rowley International (aquatics) and Cumming (cost) consultants investigated the Ole Hanson Beach Club (OHBC) on Wednesday, December 14, and Thursday December 15, 2011. On March 7, 2012, the City maintenance department assisted by providing openings in the building into walls, ceilings and other spaces for a selective demolition investigation conducted by ARG and Structural Focus. Earlier sets of drawings including the original plans and other remodel projects were referenced during the investigations. The team had full access to the building and pool, but did not go up on the top portion of the roof. The team took photographs and notes of their observations for this assessment report. The design team and City also met with the San Clemente Historical Society to review the goals of the project at its early stage, and the Society kindly contributed historical photographs and other background information to assist in our research. Assessment and Recommendations The Ole Hansen Beach Club exterior remains much as when it was constructed. Its interior has been substantially altered and little historic fabric remains. The use of the building for pool related functions has led to significant deterioration due to moisture. Problems due to previous work, particularly replacement of the roof decks, have also contributed to ongoing deterioration of the building. There are numerous accessibility and other code-related deficiencies, most significantly, a lack of disabled access to the upper floor, where the primary event spaces are located. ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES GROUP, INC. Architects, Planners & Conservators Ole Hanson Beach Club Preliminary Design Report San Clemente, CA Draft - July 16, 2012 Based upon the assessments and the input from the City, ARG developed a series of treatment recommendations for the Beach Club including the following: • Preservation and rehabilitation of the Beach Club exterior • Reorganization and rehabilitation of the interior to meet the City’s program for the building • Code compliance • ADA compliance of building and site (based on 2010 Accessibility Survey) • Structural/seismic retrofit • Mechanical, electrical and plumbing system upgrades • Pool and pool-related improvements Concept Development • The program for the Beach Club presented many challenges due to its dual use for both pool-related functions and public and private events. A number of conceptual designs were developed; these were refined during discussions with City staff, to arrive at the three options included in this report. Concurrently, cost estimates for each option are being developed. • This draft report will be presented for public and City review, after which a final concept design will be selected for implementation.

Historical Overview and Assessment Ole Hanson Beach Club The Ole Hanson Beach Club was designed in 1927 and opened in 1928 as a public pool and community clubhouse. The building’s Spanish Colonial Revival style architecture was meant to express San Clemente’s self-styling as a “Spanish Village by the Sea,” with design by architect Virgil Westbrook and construction by Strang Brothers, both local firms. The Beach Club’s proximity to the ocean at the northern entry point of San Clemente just off of El Camino Real (Pacific Coast Highway) placed it as the signature building that would greet motorists arriving in the City. The building was set on a rise for visual prominence with the backdrop of a high bluff behind it to the south and the ocean and beach to the west, from which it was also visible. Approximately one mile further along El Camino Real in a southerly direction, one would enter the central business district where similar architecture further carried out the theme. The developer of San Clemente, Ole Hanson, was a former mayor of Seattle and a real estate developer. His vision for San Clemente, which he developed beginning in 1925-1926, was inspired by a visit to Santa Barbara as he made his way south through California. He apparently witnessed Santa Barbara’s redevelopment in the Spanish Colonial Revival style following the earthquake of June 29, 1925. Even before the destruction that the earthquake caused, the City of Santa Barbara had decided to pursue the style as the signature of the town, invoking a romanticized version of early California history to build on the presence of the missions and adobes in the town. Hanson’s announcement of his “Spanish Village” in the newspapers came within six months of the Santa Barbara earthquake. While San Clemente had no such historical link present, it was not far from Mission San Juan Capistrano, and the oceanside bluffs, beaches, gentle hills, and verdant canyons of the site that Hanson

    © Copyright 2015 Alexander James Morrow i Laboring for the Day: The Pacific Coast and the Casual Labor Economy, 1919-1933 Alexander James Morrow A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: James N. Gregory, Chair Moon-Ho Jung Ileana Rodriguez Silva Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of History ii University of Washington Abstract Laboring for the Day: The Pacific Coast and the Casual Labor Economy, 1919-1933 Alexander James Morrow Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor James Gregory Department of History This dissertation explores the economic and cultural (re)definition of labor and laborers. It traces the growing reliance upon contingent work as the foundation for industrial capitalism along the Pacific Coast; the shaping of urban space according to the demands of workers and capital; the formation of a working class subject through the discourse and social practices of both laborers and intellectuals; and workers’ struggles to improve their circumstances in the face of coercive and onerous conditions. Woven together, these strands reveal the consequences of a regional economy built upon contingent and migratory forms of labor. This workforce was hardly new to the American West, but the Pacific Coast’s reliance upon contingent labor reached its apogee after World War I, drawing hundreds of thousands of young men through far flung circuits of migration that stretched across the Pacific and into Latin America, transforming its largest urban centers and working class demography in the process. The presence of this substantial workforce (itinerant, unattached, and racially heterogeneous) was out step with the expectations of the modern American worker (stable, married, and white), and became the warrant for social investigators, employers, the state, and other workers to sharpen the lines of solidarity and exclusion.

  • The Industrial Workers of the World in the Seattle General Strike - Colin M
    The Industrial Workers of the World in the Seattle general strike - Colin M. Anderson An attempt to find out the IWW's actual involvement in the Seattle General Strike of 1919, which has been hampered by myths caused by the capitalist press and AFL union leaders of the time. The Seattle General Strike is an event very important in the history of the Pacific Northwest. On February 6, 1919 Seattle workers became the first workers in United States history to participate in an official general strike. Many people know little, if anything, about the strike, however. Perhaps the momentousness of the event is lost in the fact that the strike took place without violence, or perhaps it is because there was no apparent visible change in the city following the event. But the strike is a landmark for the U.S. labor movement, and is very important, if for no there reason, for what it stands for. Workers expressed their power through a massive action of solidarity, and demonstrated to the nation the potential power of organized labor. This was at a time when labor was generally divided over ideological lines that prevented them from achieving such mass action very often. For many at the time, however, the strike represented something else: something more sinister and extreme. To many of the locals in Seattle the strike was the beginning of an attempted revolution by the Industrial Workers of the World and others with similar radical tendencies. These people saw the putting down of the strike was the triumph of patriotism in the face of radicalism gone too far.

  • Legacy, Memory, and the Seattle General Strike Of
    “I’VE TRIED SO HARD TO MAKE GOOD AMERICANS OUT OF YOU”: LEGACY, MEMORY, AND THE SEATTLE GENERAL STRIKE OF 1919 by KATHRYN GREY AMMON Submitted to the Department of History of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for departmental honors Approved by: ________________ Dr. Jonathan Hagel Thesis Adviser ________________ Dr. David Farber Committee Member ________________ Dr. David Roediger Committee Member _________________________ Date Defended Abstract: This historical project explores competing legacies and formation of memory within the Seattle General Strike of 1919 both in its after effects on the Seattle Labor Movement and the nation as a whole through the First Red Scare. This paper is divided into three chapters, an examination of the strike, national and local media coverage of the strike, and an examination of national and local repercussions from the strike. The Seattle General Strike of 1919 existed within an intersection of many disparate movements—and truly has been memorialized as more than the sum of its parts. The Seattle General Strike has not been evaluated within the context of differing pro-capitalist and pro-worker solidarity viewpoints and how these two stories split, which this thesis will do. 1 Introduction It was ten in the morning of February 6, 1919 when the church bells in Seattle, Washington rang out their usual chimes. Several schoolchildren, likely as young as nine years old stood up, quietly packed their bags, and walked out of their school room. As they walked out the double doors of the school, one teacher yelled after them. “There you go,” said the teacher, “to join those Bolsheviki, when I’ve tried so hard to make good Americans out of you.”1 These children were not just school pupils—they were workers with a union job, specifically, they were members of the newsboys’ union.
