  • Arciiltecture
    · BALBOA PARK· CENTRAL MESA PRECISE PLAN Precise Plan • Architecture ARCIIlTECTURE The goal of this section is to rehabilitate and modify the architecture of the Central Mesa ina manner which preserves its historic and aesthetic significance while providing for functional needs. The existing structures built for the 1915 and the 1935 Expositions are both historically and architecturally significant and should be reconstructed or rehabilitated. Not only should the individual structures be preserved, but the entire ensemble in its original composition should be preserved and restored wherever possible. It is the historic relationship between the built and the outdoor environment that is the hallmark of the two Expositions. Because each structure affects its site context to such a great degree, it is vital to the preservation of the historic district that every effort be made to preserve and restore original Exposition building footprints and elevations wherever possible. For this reason, emphasis has been placed on minimizing architectural additions unless they are reconstructions of significant historical features. Five major types of architectural modifications are recommended for the Central Mesa and are briefly described below. 1. Preservation and maintenance of existing structures. In the case of historically significant architecture, this involves preserving the historical significance of the structure and restoring lost historical features wherever possible. Buildings which are not historically significant should be preserved and maintained in good condition. 2. Reconstructions . This type of modification involves the reconstruction of historic buildings that have deteriorated to a point that prevents rehabilitation of the existing structure. This type of modification also includes the reconstruction of historically significant architectural features that have been lost.

  • Alcazar Garden Sign
    Alcázar Garden - Balboa Park Richard Smith Requa 1881 - 1941 Seventy years later, the Moorish tiles were beginning to show their age. Tiles were cracked, chipped, and had chunks missing. In 2008, the garden was reconstructed to replicate the 1935 design by San Diego architect Richard Requa. During the restoration they found that moisture had seeped through, as tiles are porous and grout isn't perfect. With $50,000 in donations, the Committee of One Hundred, a nonprofit group dedicated to the park's Spanish Colonial architecture, replaced the damaged tiles and renovated the water fountains to their original grace and glory. The group commissioned 1,800 tiles that replicate the originals. Richard Smith Requa was an American architect, largely During the 1915 Panama-California Exhibition, this garden was T h e y e x p e c t t h i s known for his work in San Diego, California.

  • 1935 California Pacific International Exposition Excerpts from San Diego’S Balboa Park by David Marshall, AIA February 17, 2009
    1935 California Pacific International Exposition Excerpts from San Diego’s Balboa Park by David Marshall, AIA February 17, 2009 ■ Summary Still feeling the effects from the Great Depression in 1933, San Diego’s civic boosters be lieved that another expo sition in Balboa Park would help the economy and promote the city as a business and tourist destination. The 1935 California Pacific International Exposition, also known as America’s Exposition, was born. The new buildings were paid for in part by the first WPA funds allocated to an American city. Balboa Park was re-configured by San Diego architect Richard S. Requa who also oversaw the design and construction of many new buildings. The second exposition left behind a legacy of colorful stories with its odd and controversial exhibits and sideshow entertainment. America’s Exposition also provided visitors with early glimpses of a walking silver robo t and a strange electrical device known as a “television.” Only two years after it was first conceived, the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition opened on May 29, 1935. Like the first exposition, the 1935 fair was so successful it was extended for a second year. Opening ceremonies for the second season began when President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a gold t elegraph ke y in the White House to turn on the exposition’s lights. When the final numbers were tallied, the 1935-1936 event counted 6.7 million visitors – almost double the total of the 1915-1916 exposition. ■ Buildings Constructed for the 1935 Exposition House of Hospitality Courtyard. For this popular patio, architect Richard Requa literally carved o ut the center of the hangar-like 1915 Foreign Arts Building and opened it to the sky.

He be­ lieved a southwestern cultural history could become an agent for national civil rights and cultural pluralism.! In this intriguing statement, McWilliams referred to the public culture in southern California and the Southwest, a regional tradition he defined as the Spanish "fantasy heritage." That cul­ tural construction was the myth created by White Californians to interpret the historical legacy of Indians, Spaniards, and Mexicans in the Southwest. Mostly inaccurate, ahistorical, and suffused with excessive sentimentality and romanticism, the fantasy heritage was the cultural gloss for the eco­ nomic development and promotion of southern California.

  • San Diego Invites the World to Balboa Park a Second Time by Richard W
    The Journal of San Diego History SAN DIEGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY Fall 1985, Volume 31, Number 4 Thomas L. Scharf, Editor San Diego Invites the World to Balboa Park a Second Time by Richard W. Amero First Prize, Copley Award San Diego History Center 1985 Institute of History Images from this article THE California-Pacific International Exposition, held in Balboa Park in 1935-36, was a milepost in San Diego's history. Of the people who backed the exposition, architect-in-charge Richard Requa did the most to determine its final shape.1 Talk of holding a second exposition had begun before the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition had closed. Instead of being torn down, as the exposition's master architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue had advised, the temporary buildings on Balboa Park's main avenue, El Prado, had been patched up in 1922 and again in 1933.2 In August 1933, Frank Drugan, former field representative for the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain, visited the renovated El Prado, admired its appearance, and suggested to San Diego businessmen that they use the buildings as the nucleus for a second exposition.3 As dynamic promoter for the second exposition, Drugan assumed the role Colonel "Charlie" Collier had taken for the first. Chicago's 1933-34 Century of Progress Exposition was in its final year. Many of its exhibits could be transported easily to San Diego. The exposition's promise of a happy and prosperous future had appealed to people beleaguered by the Great Depression.4 Frank G. Belcher, assistant cashier and vice president of the First National Trust and Savings Bank of San Diego, became the second exposition's president, the office G.

It is also the intent of the element to improve the quality of the built environment, encourage appreciation for the City’s history and culture, maintain the character and identity of communities, and contribute to the City’s economic vitality through historic preservation.

The Uptown Historic Preservation Element contains specific goals and recommendations to address the history and cultural resources unique to Uptown in order to encourage appreciation of the community’s history and culture. These policies along with the General Plan policies provide a comprehensive historic preservation strategy for Uptown. The Uptown Historic Preservation Element was developed utilizing technical studies prepared by qualified experts, as well as extensive outreach and collaboration with Native American Tribes, community planning groups and preservation groups. The Archaeological Study describes the pre‐history of the Uptown Area; identifies known significant archaeological resources; provides guidance on the identification of possible new resources; and includes recommendations for proper treatment.
