The house exhibits a colonnade of three mission style arches along the front fa~de and a distinctive flat topped cathedral front window. This distinctive shape is echoed as a theme throughout the house in the fireplace niche, room entries, and doorways and is found on Americo Pete and Stephna Rotta's own house at 5036 Marlborough. The Rotta-built house exhibits low-pitched, front and side gabled roofs with shed porch facades that fronted flat pueblo style roofs over most of the house. Rotta favored Mission style colonnades of arches along the front porch or along interior patios. He applied roughened stucco surfaces to emulate primitive buildings associated with the old Mexican Southwest. The house retains the original character defining features of a Spanish Eclectic house. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) (HP2)-Single family property *P4.

Construction History: (Construction date, alterations, and date of alterations) The Robb I Rotta House is a one-story, Spanish Eclectic house that was built in 1930 and is located at the intersection of Marlborough and Lymer Drives in the community of Kensington Manor Unit 1. Analysis of the Tax Assessor's Residential Building Record for 4958 Marlborough substantiates the 1930 house construction date. There are no subsequent building permits listed on the "construction record." The house is 1, 620 square feet with 171 square feet of covered porch, 324 square feet of garage, and 550 square feet of concrete deck. The Tax Assessor rated the house as standard construction on a concrete foundation, stucco on wood frame, double-hung and casement windows with screens, flat and gabled roof, three bedroom, and hardwood floors throughout. The living room has exposed wood beams and the dining room has a sculpted cove ceiling. Of significance to this document is the lack of permits for modifications to the house. *87.

Significance: Theme: Residential Architecture Area: Kensington Period of Significance: 1930-1954 Property Type: single-family dwelling Applicable Criteria: c (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The house is significant as an example of 1930 Spanish architecture, which exhibits a colonnade of three mission style arches along the front far,:ade and a distinctive flat topped cathedral front window. It is also significant as the first known speculation house designed and built by America Pete Rotta and his wife, Stephna. The distinctive "Rotta window" shape is echoed as a theme throughout the house in the fireplace niche, room entries, and doorways. The house is in a style that met the strict architectural review standards for good design and construction that were mandatory for residences in the expensive estate community. As such, it embodies the characteristics of Kensington Manor Unit 1' s approved version of the Spanish Eclectic, hacienda subtype architectural style as required by the Kensington Park Land Company. The house exhibits a low­ pitched roof wi1h a short eave overhanging the wall and slightly ornamented rafter tails, four porch arches, stucco walls, and a Spanish fired red clay tile roof. This house is cross-gabled with a low valley centered over the arched entrance. Behind the Spanish tile is a low stucco parapet masking a flat, tarred roof. A stucco chimney is attached to the south side. The windows are wood, double-hung and painted a rusty red. Small wire crawlspace vents are located low on the roughened stucco walls. Not visible from the street is a shed porch patio with Spanish fired clay roof tiles that overlooks a small landscaped backyard. (See Continuation Sheet.) B11 .

Rotta designed a geometric arch for his cathedral front window, which is visible from Marlborough and the sidewalk out front. This design is repeated on the fireplace surround, and room entries. He sculpted rusticated stucco around the fireplace to appear like carved stone blocks. For the hearth in front of the firebox, he installed a subtie pattern of bisque yellow and red tiles that appear very much like Batchelder products. He also sculpted vauKed ceilings in the living room, embedded open beam ceilings, and installed interior French Doors to separate the breakfast nook from the dining area. The paneled dark wood door leading into the hallway was left natural with a clear coating, rather than painting.

Mackie ’61, for her exceptional contributions to the field of historic textiles from Islamic lands. Louise Mackie received her bachelor of arts in art history from Wells College and with Carol Gaines Ruckle ’61 after graduation enjoyed visiting her Wells professor, Hannelore Glasser, in Florence, Italy, during two enlightening years of traveling, studying and working in Europe and the Middle East.

She recently retired as curator of textiles and Islamic art at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio. During her impressive curatorial career of 45 years, Mackie held positions at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, The Textile Museum in Washington, D.C., and taught at the University of Toronto.

    In the Particular Player, and the General Intran- Sigence and Unpredictability of Just What It Sounds Like

    Apart from drums, the electric bass is perhaps the most difficult instrument to re- cord, because of its tonal range, the variables in the particular player, and the general intran- sigence and unpredictability of just what it sounds like. Some nights your bass sound is there, an others it's not, having to do (man) have said with whether the spirits are happy or not. Most would agree that on those nights when it's not there, there isn't a whole lot you can do about it. Cherokee's Dee Robb, Davlen's Leonard Kovner, and independent engineer Ron Malo (though he works a lot at Devonshire), talked about the way they approach and execute recording the electric bass.

It is reassuring in “this day of changing concepts, of families dividing, of the tearing up of roots to be able to live beside history. It makes us proud of our heritage, it encourages us to live up to it and it bespeaks an earthly immortality in future generations. Few spots in the United States can boast these steadying influences and no place can show a complete city of them.” All quotes are from the typescript of New Orleans, Then and Now, a speech given by Mary Morrison several times during the 1970s (MSS 553).
