HISTORIC RESOURCES GROUP 4
INTRODUCTION
As part of the City of South Pasadena's ongoing efforts to identify and evaluate potential historic resources, the City received a State of California Certified Local Government (CLG) grant for the period 2013-2014 to prepare an updated Citywide Historic Context Statement.' As a follow-up to that effort, in 2015 South Pasadena commissioned a Citywide Historic Resources Survey and Inventory of Addresses Survey Update of all properties constructed through 1970. The survey project is divided into three phases:
• Phase 1 : Caltrans State Route 71 0 North Area of Potential Effects (APE) as identified in the Draft Environmental Impact Report.' (Phase 1 was completed in july 2015.)
• Phase 2: Survey of modern resources constructed between 1935 and 1970.
• Phase 3: Update the City Inventory of Addresses.
The principal goals of the 20 15 historic resources survey are:
(1) to update the City's out-of-date surveys and the Inventory of Addresses in accordance with applicable criteria and the Multiple-Property Documentation (MPD) framework provided in the 2014 City of South Pasadena Historic Context Statement;
(2) to conduct surveys of all mid-century-era properties and resources in the City, in light of the themes of significance and property types identified in the Historic Context Statement;
(3) to carry forward documentation on a select number of outstanding mid-century era historic districts and individually eligible resources; and
(4) to create and provide an efficient, user-friendly method for accessing and sharing survey data with the public, stakeholders, Cultural Heritage Commission (CHC), and City staff through the use of state-of-the-art survey techniques and creation of a searchable database and/or Arc-CIS data/shape files easily adapted to the City's Arc-CIS and mapping system.

This report addresses work to date on Phase 2 of the survey project. The project was conducted by Christine Lazzaretto, Principal; Molly Iker, Associate Architectural Historian; and Robby Aranguren, Planning Associate. All staff meet the Secretary of the Interior's qualifications for professionals in historic preservation.' The project was overseen by john Mayer, Senior Planner, City of South Pasadena, and the Cultural Heritage Commission.
The Phase 2 survey includes the review of all properties and neighborhoods developed between 1935 and 1970 in South Pasadena. Properties from this period are identified in the map in Figure 1. In consultation with the City, a subset of up to six historic districts and 30 individual resources from this period will be documented on the appropriate State of California Department of Parks and Recreation forms for historic resources (DPR forms). Building, Structure, and Object Records (DPR 5238 forms) will include the appropriate context and theme based on the South Pasadena Historic Context Statement, along with a summary statement of significance. Properties will be evaluated for eligibility for federal, state, and local listing. Individual properties, potential historic districts, and potential planning districts will be considered.

Legend c:JsR710APE C.::.]CdJ.Sound c:JAlloso.Monleroy -D""'I.IOO PROGRESS REPORT" FOR INTERNAL REVIEW City of South Pasadena Historic Resources Survey Phase 2: Mid-century Era Resources HISTORIC RESOURCES GROUP 7 METHODOLOGY At the outset of the projec~ HRG reviewed all previous evaluations for properties constructed between 193 5 and 1970, including designated properties; properties identified in the City Inventory of Addresses; properties identified by previous survey efforts on behalf of the City of South Pasadena; and properties listed in the California Historical Resources Inventory (HRJ). In August and September, 2015, HRG conducted background research on properties constructed during this period. This included reviewing the citywide historic context statement, the American Institute of Architects' online resources, and other primary and secondary sources. Based on this research, a preliminary study list was developed to inform the reconnaissance survey and further research efforts. Using the preliminary study list and the map of the city coded to identify properties constructed between 1 93 5 and 1970, HRG conducted a citywide reconnaissance survey to review properties in the field. The field team identified properties that appeared eligible for individual designation, as well as geographically-definable areas that appeared eligible for designation as historic districts or planning districts. All fieldwork was conducted from the public right-of-way. Following the reconnaissance survey, additional research was conducted on neighborhoods and individual properties. This included primary source research at the South Pasadena Public Library, including issues of the Foothill Review and South Pasadena Reviewfrom 1934 to 1975, historic photographs, South Pasadena lease agreements, City directories, and job cards, along with additional follow-up research on tract development and architects from the period. HRG met with City staff on October 19, 2015 to discuss progress of Phase 2 of the survey and the outreach plan. Based on the results of the reconnaissance survey and follow-up research, a revised study list was compiled for review and discussion with the City. A meeting was held with City staff and members of the sub-committee on November 5, 2015. At that meeting, the survey methodology and preliminary survey recommendations were discussed. This included a review and discussion of potential historic districts and planning districts, and a discussion of potentially significant individual resources. It was determined at the meeting that the 30 DPR forms should, to the extent possible, cover a range of property types and geographic areas within the city. A Community Outreach Meeting was conducted on November 16, 20 15 to inform the public of the survey process and solicit feedback and input on the overall survey methodology and any potentially significant properties or neighborhoods. On November 6, 2015, HRG submitted the study list to City staff for permit research. Because the modern era has not been previously studied in detail in South Pasadena, PROGRESS REPORT "FOR INTERNAL REVIEW City of South Pasadena Historic Resources Survey Phase 2: Mid-century Era Resources HISTORIC RESOURCES GROUP 8 permit research is essential to identify important architects, designers, and builders working in the city during the period; permits are also used to confirm construction dates and identify alterations. It was agreed that the final recommendation for those properties to be documented on DPR forms was pending the completion of permit research. On December 31, 2015, HRG received building permits and related materials from the South Pasadena Planning and Building department. In January 20 16, all relevant data from the permit files was used to update the study list and complete the preliminary recommendations for those properties to be documented on DPR forms as part of the Phase 2 survey. Updated information included the identification of original owners, architects, and builders, along with a documentation of alterations to each property. Recommendations included with this memo incorporate all research efforts to date, findings of the reconnaissance survey, and additional data derived from permit records. The following recommendations are included for review and discussion with the City: • Neighborhoods and/or geographically-related resources to be documented as historic districts or planning districts (maximum of 6 districts required) • Individually significant properties to be documented on DPR forms as part of the Phase 2 survey (maximum of 30 DPR forms required) • Individual properties that have potential significance that will comprise a study list for future survey efforts of resources from this period • Individual properties constructed between 1935 and 1970 that are currently included on the City's Inventory of Addresses that will be updated during the Phase 3 survey At this time, all property-specific information has been compiled into an Excel table for reference and review. A map identifying all properties in the above categories has also been compiled for reference purposes. The final survey data will be provided to the City in an Access-based database. NEXT STEPS • City staff and Cultural Heritage Commission Sub-committee review the recommendations for individually-eligible properties and potential historic districts and planning districts • Meeting with City and the project team to discuss the findings and the recommendations (date and time to be determined) PROGRESS REPORT ·FOR INTERNAL REVIEW City of South Pasadena Historic Resources Survey Phase 2: Mid-century Era Resources HISTORIC RESOURCES GROUP 9 • City to approve the 30 properties and 6 districts to be documented • Project team finalizes the DPR forms for each property and district, and submits the forms and the database records to the City PROGRESS REPORT- FOR INTERNAL REVIEW City of South Pasadena Historic Resources Survey Phase 2: Mid-century Era Resources HISTORIC RESOURCES GROUP 10 POTENTIAL INDIVIDUALLY -SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES Included with this memo is a list of 79 individual properties constructed between 193 5 and 1970 that appear eligible for designation at the federal, state, and/or local levels (Appendix A). From this list, 30 properties will be documented on DPR 523A and B forms. Properties not documented as part of this project will remain on the study list for future survey efforts. (The complete study list is included as Appendix B.) The list was compiled based on results of research, including permits, the reconnaissance survey, and preliminary evaluations using the contexts and themes developed in the 2014 South Pasadena Historic Context statement. The list includes single- and multi family properties, commercial buildings, and institutional properties. The list of single family properties includes individually significant properties that are located within historic or planning districts. A large selection of multi-family residential properties is included in order to provide a comparative analysis of these properties and determine those that will be documented as part of this effort. Properties that are already included on the City Inventory of Addresses (CIOA) and the State Historical Resources Inventory (HRI) are noted on the list with the appropriate status code. PROGRESS REPORT- FOR INTERNAL REVIEW City of South Pasadena Historic Resources Survey Phase 2: Mid-century Era Resources HISTORIC RESOURCES GROUP 11 RECOMMENDED HISTORIC DISTRICTS AND PLANNING DISTRICTS Minimal Traditional Residential District The Minimal Traditional Single-Family Residential District is located in the southwest section of South Pasadena, and consists of the 1400 and 1500 blocks of Maple Street, Beech Street, and Oneonta Knoll Street. The district is composed of single-family residences that were constructed in the 1930s and I 940s in the Minimal Traditional style. The residences are one-story in height, typically rectangular or L-shaped in plan, and set on uniform lots with consistent setbacks. The district is laid out on a grid pattern, with mature landscaping. The district represents a rare collection of Minimal Traditional single-family residences in South Pasadena, and conveys a strong sense of time and place. In 193 6, California Subdividers, Ltd., subdivided this 20-acre tract as a "high class residential area."• The property was subdivided into ninety lots, most of which were for single family homes, with the exception of the Huntington Drive frontage, which was reserved for apartment houses. One of the platted streets was originally named Poplar Street, but was later re named Oneonta Knoll Street to avoid confusion with a street of the same name in neighboring Alhambra.'

The contributors are modestly sized, two-story apartment homes, rectangular in plan, set on irregular lots. The district is laid out along curvilinear streets, with mature landscaping. In response to the overall need for postwar housing in Southern California, well-known developer Paul Trousdale acquired a tract of land on Raymond Hill (the former site of the Raymond Hotel) for a large multi-family residential development. In 1945, Trousdale subdivided the land into 36 lots along streets arranged in a circular pattern to take advantages of the natural contours of the land and create a bucolic environment.' Four-unit buildings of similar design were constructed on each of the 3 6 lots and the development became known as the "Raymond Hill Apartments." Advertisements from the 1950s touted the development for the "de-luxe views" and "curved streets and palm tree environment just fifteen minutes from downtown Los Angeles."' The one- and two bedroom units featured fireplaces, appliances, and garages. They were to be sold instead of rented - a cooperative buying plan, the first of its kind in South Pasadena. Instead of paying rent, residents of the one- and two-bedroom apartments would purchase stock in the corporation. Down payments would range from $3 800 to $5000, followed by monthly payments of about $55 or $60 until the mortgage was paid.' Paul Whitney Trousdale ( 1915-1990) was a second-generation developer. Trousdale was responsible for the development and creation of more than 25,000 homes throughout Southern California.' Born near Gallatin, Tennessee, he attended Los Angeles High School and completed one year at the University of Southern California. A born salesman, he dabbled in advertising, selling gum and other products, then switched to real estate. During World War II, he built large estates for movie stars and executives, and approximately 3,000 single-family houses, including seven large housing projects. A 1949 Los Angeles Times ad for Trousdale and Associates featured the South Pasadena development with a valuation at $1,152,000, which was the smallest of the organization's holdings. At the same time, Trousdale was about to embark on two of his best-known developments: Baldwin Hills Estates and later, Trousdale Estates in Beverly Hills. 6 Based on a Los Angeles Times article, the last available site for apartments was under construction in August of 1967.

The district is composed of multi story apartment buildings and complexes, primarily rectangular in plan, set on irregular lots. The buildings are primarily Mid-century Modem in style. The district is laid out along curvilinear streets, with mature landscaping. Adjacent to the Raymond Hill Apartments was land that had been the former site of the Raymond Hotel golf course. In 194 7-1948, developers proposed a $500,000 development including four-and six-story apartment buildings housing 1,500 rental units.u Developers Frank A. Murphy and Harrison R. Baker (a.k.a., Parkway-Fairoaks, Inc.) developed the largest subdivision in the history of the City to that point: 72 large lots of 15,000 square feet each. Mirroring the circular plan of the adjacent Trousdale development, Baker and Murphy laid out a system of curving streets. Harrison R. Baker was a long-time Pasadena real estate broker and land developer who also served several terms on the California Highway Commission and was instrumental in furthering the area's freeway system. He was known as the "Father of the Pasadena Freeway."" Developer Merton H. Baker" quickly planned to build 40 buildings in the tract in his $2,000,000 Fireside Manor de-luxe apartment project. By fall of I 952, the developer had erected eight buildings-mostly one-and two-story six-unit buildings in the minimal traditional style.« One year later, he had created a total of 16 buildings." In 1954, Baker engaged architect Edward H. Fickett, FAIA to design one of the most upscale apartment buildings in the development, the Fireside Lanai. An architect who worked almost exclusively for developers, Fickett understood how to blend modern post-and-beam construction techniques and aesthetics into efficient single-family and multi-family residential projects that would maximize a developer's return on investment." The 40- unit Fireside Manor Lanai (I 633 Amberwood Drive) exemplified Fickett's modern design aesthetic with its large expanses of glass and long, low-pitched roofline. "Fireside Manor" was a "branded" line of apartment hotel rental properties for Baker, with 11 Apostol, 132. 12 "HR.

Phase one was an 85 unit, three-story apartment building at 400 Raymondale Drive. Phase two was constructed in 1960 on the property to the south along State Street. Baker engaged architects Rochlin & Baran and the project featured modem design and broad eaves for shading the private lanais and pool area. Fred Rochlin ( 1923-2002), AlA and Ephraim Baran, AlA (! 921-) joined forces in 1953 and their commissions primarily included multi-family residential and commercial (medical/hospital) architecture."

The district comprises the only large-scale, comprehensive residential development from the post World War II period in South Pasadena. It consists of single-family residences unified aesthetically by plan, physical development, and architectural quality, representing post World War II planning principles. It consists of Via Del Rey, Camino Del Sol Los Laureles Street, Los Alisos, Camino Verde, La Terraza Street, Camino Lindo, La Fremontia Street, La Portada Street, the 1800 and I 900 blocks of Alpha Street, and the 1600 block oflndiana Avenue. Residences are primarily designed in the Mid-century Modem, Ranch, and Late Modern styles; there is a combination of tract houses and unique designs. There are generous front yards with mature vegetation including hedges, trees, and grassy lawns. The district is defined by its notable lack of front fences, which allows the rolling hills, curvilinear streets, and unified landscaping to maintain the visual continuity and cohesiveness of the district. In 19 50, City officials in South Pasadena turned their attention to Monterey Hills, the last undeveloped parcel within the City limits. The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA; established 1953) worked to secure a loan from the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) to fund the development of the area. Repayment would come from the proceeds of the property sales. In 1958, the CRA was granted a federal loan of $4.5 million to finance the construction of Altos de Monterey, a 63 !-parcel, single-family residential subdivision. The project garnered national attention as the country's first open-land, straight-loan residential development project and one of the largest undertaken by the Urban Renewal Agency." The 309-acre site (approximately one-fifth of the City of South Pasadena) was graded, street improvements constructed, and all utilities buried underground. The first house was completed in September of 1964." By 1965, twenty-two model homes in a wide range of styles were open for inspection by builders such as Halo Homes, Rudnick Homes, Shanahan Homes, Throp and Hoyt Homes, and Wencon Homes."' Each builder carved out his own price point and featured amenities. Homes were produced in a range of architectural styles with builders preferring "rustic contemporary design ... because sixty percent of the market seems to want this style with thick shake roofs, wood siding and plenty of masonry."" 19 Apostol, 14 7. 20 "First House 'Sprouts' in Development Area," Los Angeles Times, April23, 1964 and" Altos de Monterey Progress Report, 1965" published by the CRA 21 "22 Model Homes Hold Open House," Los Angeles Times, June 13, 1965.14. 22 "First Open-Land Renewal is Well Under Way," Los Angeles Times, August 29, 1965, MI.

It consists of a cul-de-sac containing the 200-300 block of Grace Drive. All residences are one-stoty in height, and rectangular or L-shaped in plan. The subdivision originally comprised a single property that was demolished sometime after 1930.•, Following demolition of the original property, the area was re-zoned to accommodate duplexes. In 1953, architect Bob Ray Offenhauser and his father bought two of the lots that had been re-zoned. The duplexes sold immediately "reaping handsome profits," and Offenhauser was commissioned to design 12 more on the street>' All of the duplexes were constructed between 1953 and 1958. The remainder of the parcels were developed with single-family residences. A proponent of Regional Modernism, Bob Ray Offenhauser (b. 1927) graduated from the USC School of Architecture in 1952. His first commission was from his parents, in lieu of a graduation trip to Europe." In partnership with his father, who had recently retired and had previous experience in the building trade, Offenhauser designed a small garden apartment complex in Arcadia that was intended as the family home.'" The complex quickly sold, however, and Offenhauser designed a second home for the family in San Marino in 1955, which was photographed by julius Shulman and published in House and Carden in 1957.•' A notable commission during this time was from artist Millard Sheets, who asked Offenhauser to design a pavilion for the Pomona Valley Fair. Over the course of his career, upscale single family homes became the hallmark of Offenhauser' s work, although he continued to design multi-family housing as well as commercial and institutional projects, including the Botanical Center and the Chinese Garden at the Huntington libraty in San Marino. In 1978, Offenhauser settled in South Pasadena, where he constructed a home on Columbia Avenue.

In particular, there is residential development clustered in the hillside neighborhoods in the western part of the city, representing advances in technology in the postwar period that allowed for development on previously unbuildable Jots. Despite the limited opportunities for growth in the City, South Pasadena has an excellent collection of single- and multi-family residences from this period, many of which were designed by prominent local practitioners. There is a prevalent design culture in South Pasadena and a tradition of first-rate architecture dating to the City's earliest periods of development that continued into the postwar era. The concentration ofresidenccs in the hillside streets between Kolle Avenue and Alpha Street, including the streets winding through the neighborhood (St. Albans, Alta Vista Avenue, etc.) likely represent the highest concentration of Modem design in South Pasadena. Architecture in the postwar period exemplified a wide range of design philosophies. Architects in Southern California during this period developed iterations of a new, regional style that was influenced by the surrounding landscape, as wei! as modem architectural trends and planning principles that have roots in the prewar era. This Regional Modernism combined elements of the International Style with the palette and emphasis on natural materials seen in Arts and Crafts architecture. The local modem aesthetic used an organic palette, and emphasized a visual connection between indoor and outdoor space. Mid-century Modern is a term used to describe the post-World War II iteration of the International Style in both residential and cotmnercial design. The International Style was characterized by geometric fonns, smooth wall surfaces, and an absence of exterior decoration. Mid-century Modem represents the adaptation of these elements to the local climate and topography, as well as to the postwar need for efficiently-built, moderately-priced homes. In Southern California, this often meantthe use of wood post-and-beam construction. Mid-century Modernism is often characterized by a clear expression of structure and materials, large expanses of glass, and open interior plans. The style gained popularity because its use of standardized, prefabricated materials permitted quick and economical construction. It became the predominant architectural style in the postwar years and is represented in almost every property type, from single-family residences to commercial buildings to gas stations. 511 Alta Vista Avenue is significant as an example ofpost-World War II single-family residential development in the hills of South Pasadena; and as an excellent example of Mid century Modern residential architecture. It exhibits quality of design and distinctive features including the double shed roof with ballasted roofing, expressed post-and-beam construction with a continuous covered walkway supported on "spider legs," and horizontal massing.

By fall of 1952, the developer had erected eight buildings-mostly one-and two-story six unit buildings in the Minimal Traditional style. In 1953, he had created a total of 16 buildings. In 1954, Merton H. Baker engaged architect Edward H. Fickett, FAIA to design one of the most upscale apartment buildings in the development, the Fireside Lanai. An architect who worked almost exclusively for developers, Fickett llllderstood how to blend modem post-and-beam construction techniques and aesthetics into efficient single-family and multi-family residential projects that would maximize a developer's return on investment. 1l1e 40-llllitFireside Manor Lanai exemplified Fickett's modem design aesthetic with its large expanses of glass and long, low-pitched roofline. "Fireside Manor" was a "branded" line of apartment hotel rental properties for Baker, with opportunities to rent by the day or month. Edward H. Fickett, FAIA, was an innovative Los Angeles architect who established a highly successful practice, primarily designing moderate-income houses for large-scale builder clients in postwar Southern California. He designed some 60,000 homes and many other buildings over the course of his career and participated in developing housing guidelines for the Federal Housing Administration, Veterans Administration, and the Department ofHousing and Urban Development. From the late 1940s through the 1960s, Fickett's house designs evolved from 'lhditional Ranch to Contemporary Ranch, using simple fonns that were clearly modern and designed for efficient and economical construction. In 1949, Fickett designed the 1,000-residencc Shennan Park tract in the San Fernando Valley, considered the first large-scale tract of contemporary design in the Los Angeles area. A typical Fickett design features traditional ranch-style exterior detailing, an open interior plan, and a "wall of glass" that looked out onto the rear patio. Fickett a! so designed many elaborate residences in Bel Air, Brentwood, and Malibu, as well as bank buildings, libraries, schools, commercial and industrial developments, and government buildings. Fireside Manor Lanai is significant as an example ofpost~World War II multi-tamily residential development in South Pasadena. It reflects Merton Baker's vision for the Fireside Manor multi-family residential development on Raymond Hill. It is also significant as an excellent example of :Mid-century Modern multi-family residential architecture by master architect Edward H. Fickett. It exhibits quality of design and distinctive features, and exemplifies Fickett's modem design aesthetic with its large expanses of glass and long, low-pitched roofline. It retains all seven aspects of integrity. 811. Additional Resource Attributes: (Ust attributes and codes) *B12. References: City of South Pasadena, Building Pennits. Apostol, Jane.

Also address integrity.) Aside from the land comprising the Raymond Hill and Altos de Monterey developments, there was little undeveloped land within the city limits after World War II. Instead, noteworthy examples of Mid-century Modem single- and multi-family residences are located in established neighborhoods throughout the city. Despite the limited opportunities for growth in the City, South Pasadena has an excellent collection of single- and multi-family residences from this period, many of which were designed by prominent local practitioners. There is a prevalent design culture in South Pasadena and a tradition of first-rate architecture dating to the City's earliest periods of development that continued into the postwar era. Architecture in the postwar period exemplified a wide range of design philosophies. Architects in Southern California during this period developed iterations of a new, regional style that was influenced by the surrounding landscape, as well as modern architectural trends and planning principles that have roots in the prewar era. This Regional Modernism combined elements of the International Style with the palette and emphasis on natural materials seen in Arts and Crafts architecture. The local modem aesthetic used an organic palette, and emphasized a visual connection between indoor and outdoor space. Mid-century Modern is a term used to describe the post-World War Il iteration of the International Style in both residential and commercial design. The International Style was characterized by geometric forms, smooth wall surfaces, and an absence of exterior decoration. Mid-century Modem represents the adaptation of these elements to the local climate and topography, as well as to the postwar need for efficiently-built, moderately-priced homes. In Southern California, this often meant the use of wood post-and-beam construction. Mid-century Modernism is often characterized by a clear expression of structure and materials, large expanses of glass, and open interior plans. The style gained popularity because its use of standardized, prefabricated materials permitted quick and economical construction. John Galbraith (b.1923) studied architecture after serving as a Captain in the United States Army Air Corps from 1942 to I 947; he received his bachelor's degree from the University ofWashington in 1949. After graduation, Galbraith moved to Pasadena. His first professional position was as a designer-draftsman in the office of well-known local architect Harold J. Bissner. Galbraith opened his OVI'll office in Pasadena in 1952. He designed a number of commercial and institutional structures, but was best-known for his residential designs. The Cox House is one of Galbraith's finest designs. 534 Arroyo Drive is significant as an excellent example of the Mid-century Modem residential architecture by noted architectJolm Galbraith. It is knoVI'll as one of the architect's best works. It exhibits quality of design and distinctive features including the recessed entrance atrium, flat roof, stone veneer exterior wall cladding, and flush-mounted metal frame windows. The simple geometric forms and wide expanses of glass reflect the influence of the Miesian Modernist tradition, while the use of natural materials represents Southern California Regional Modernism. It retains all seven aspects of integrity. 811. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *812. References: City of South Pasadena: Building Pennits B13. Remarks *814.

In the Los Angeles area, much of the available flat land from which one could easily commute to downtown and new industrial centers via the expanding freeway system was developed by the 1950s. In response, builders (and enterprising city leaders) began looking to the previously undeveloped hills for new housing tracts. Given the higher costs associated with grading, hillside developments necessitated higher prices and offered amenities such as underground utilities. In 1950, City officials in South Pasadena turned their attention to Monterey Hills, the last undeveloped parcel within the City limits. Following the establishment of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in 1953, the CRA worked to secure a loan from the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) to fund the development of the area. Repayment would come from the proceeds of the property sales. In 1958, the CRA was granted a federal loan o£$4.5 million to fmance the construction of Altos de Monterey, a 631-parcel, single-family residential subdivision. The project garnered national attention as the country's first open-land, straight-loan residential development project and one of the largest undertaken by the Urban Renewal Agency. The 309~acre site was graded, street improvements constructed, and all utilities buried underground. The first auction was held in January 1964, with final lots sales believed to have been completed by 1969-1970. Parcels could be purchased by individuals or by builder/developers for resale. Roughly 63% of the lots were sold to builders and 37% to individual owners. As a result, residences within Altos de Monterey comprise a combination of tract homes and individual, site-specific designs. There are a nwnber of architecturally significant homes in the development, many designed by prominent architects of the period.

Late Modernism is the evolution of Modern architecture from the rnid-1950s through the 1970s. Unlike the straightforward, functionalist simplicity ofintemational Style and Mid-century Modernism, Late Modem buildings exhibit a more deliberate sculptural quality with bold geometric volumes, uniform surfaces such as glass skin or concrete, and a sometimes exaggerated expression of structure and systems. 550 Camino Verde is significant as an example of post-World Warll residential developmentin South Pasadena, representing Altos de Monterey, the largest postwar housing development in the city, \Vhich gained national attention as the country's first open-land, straight-loan residential development project and one of the largest undertaken by the Urban Renewal Agency.

In the 1930s, the commercial corridor extended t\vo blocks along Fair Oaks Avenue south of Oxley, and 16 new buildings were constructed. Brick construction was the method of choice for commercial structures, with 13 of the 16 early 1930s buildings constructed in brick. Many of South Pasadena's most significant existing commercial operations, such as the Raymond Hotel and the Cawston Ostrich Fann, were demolished for subdivision by the mid-1930s. In 1935, buses replaced the trolleys along .'Mission Street, and by 1940 pedestrian-oriented commercial centers, like those along Meridian and Mission Streets, began to decline as the growing popularity of the automobile created a demand for further commercial development along Fair Oaks A venue, which served as the primary vehicular thoroughfare. 1016 Fair Oaks A venue is significant as a rare example of a commercial development dating from the Great Depression era in South Pasadena, and representing the growth of Fair Oaks A venue as a commercial center during this period. It retains significant character-defining features of its original design, including b1ick cement plaster exterior wall cladding with cement plaster pillars, and tripartite steel casement windows with divided lights and transoms. It retains all seven aspects of integrity. 811. Additional Resource Attributes: (Ust attributes and codes) *812. References: City of South Pasadena, Building Permits. California Archives. B13.

Also address integrity.) Commercial development in South Pasadena in the postwar period reflects the need for additional services for the growing population, the importance of the automobile, and the continued growth of the commercial district beyond the original commercial core. Following World War II, Route 66 became a major tourist attraction, creating the ultimate road trip for automobile tourists and helping to support the smaller communities along the way. Route 66 was originally created in 1926 by the board of the American Association of Highway officials, and championed by Oklahoman Cyrus Avery. It runs 2,448 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica, linking the commercial streets of small towns along the route. Avery dubbed the route the "Main Street of America" and established the U.S. Highway 66 Association to promote it as the best route to California. During the postwar years, mom~and-pop businesses sprang up along Route 66 to service travelers along the route, including diners, gas stations, drive~ in movie theaters, and motels. Route 66 traveled through South Pasadena along Fair Oaks Avenue. Googie has been described as Modernism for the masses. With its swooping lines and organic shapes, the style attempted to capture the playful exuberance of postwar America. Named for the John Lautner~designed Googie's Restaurant in Los Angeles, the style was widely employed in roadside commercial architecture of the 1950s, including coffee shops, bowling alleys, and car washes. Character~defming features include expressive rooflines; organic, abstract, and parabolic shapes; clear expression of materials; large expanses of plate glass; thematic ornamentation; and primacy of signage.

Armet (1914-1981), AlA, moved to Los Angeles when he was 13. After graduating from Los Angeles High School and Loyola University, he went to architecture school at the University of Southern California and graduated in 1939. Armet worked for the Navy Department of Design at Pearl Harbor from May 1941 to February 1943, where he designed warehouses and buildings for ship repair. He worked from 1943 to 1946 for the Scabees. Armet became a licensed architecdn 1946. Eldon C. Davis, AIA, graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in architecture. Davis worked with Army engineers, Phelps~ Dodge Mines in Arizona, and Navy Design Office on Tenninal Island. Arm6t and Davis met while the two of them were working at the architecture finn of Spaulding and Rex. They founded Atm6t & Davis in 1947. They worked together until1972 designing churches, banks, bowling alleys, schools, and more. They are best known for their many Googie-style coffee shops including Clock's in Inglewood (1951), Norm's on South Figueroa in Los Angeles (1954), Huddle's Cloverfield in Santa Monica (1955), Pann's in Westchester (1956), and the Holiday Bowl and Coffee Shop in Los Angeles (1957). 601 Fair Oaks Avenue is significant as an example of commercial development from the post~ World War II period, representing continued commercial grmvth in the city of South Pasadena along the automobile thoroughfare of Fair Oaks A venue. It is also significant as South Pasadena1s only example of Googie architecture. It was designed by master architects Ann6t and Davis. It exhibits quality of design and distinctive features including its expressive 11tortoise shel1 11 roof with prominent fascia and pyramidal light fixture housings, large expanses of plate glass, and concrete block, cement plaster, and stone exterior wall cladding. Although it has been altered over time, it retains integrity oflocation, design, setting, feeling, and association.

The local modern aesthetic used an organic palette, and emphasized a visual connection between indoor and outdoor space. Despite the limited opportunities for growth in the city, South Pasadena has an excellent collection of single- and multi-family residences from this period, many of which were designed by prominent local practitioners.

Tbe Intemational Style was characterized by geometric forms, smooth wall surfaces, and an absence of exterior decoration. .Mid-centlU'y Modem represents the adaptation of these elements to the local climate and topography, as well as to the postwar need for efficiently-built, moderately-priced homes. In Southem California, this often meant the use of wood post-and-beam construction. Mid-century Modernism is often characterized by a clear expression of structure and materials, large expanses of glass, and open interior plans. The style gained popularity because its use of standardized, prefabricated materials permitted quick and economical construction. It became the predominant architectural style in the postwar years and is represented in ahnost every property type, from single-family residences to commercial buildings to gas stations. Theodore Pietsch (1901-1990), AlA, was born in Iowa Falls, Iowa. He moved with his family to Pasadena when he was eleven years old, and graduated from Pasadena High School in 1920. In 1925, Pietsch received his B.Arch from the University of Southern California. He is credited with designing over 1,300 buildings; notable projects include the San Marino Tribune building. The Paulson Building is significant as an example of post-World War II commercial development in South Pasadena, representing continued commercial growth outside the original commercial core; and as a good example of a Mid-century Modern commercial architecture by noted local architect Theodore Pietsch. It exhibits quality of design and distinctive features including the flat roof with parapet, unadorned wall surfaces, perforated concrete block decorative screen, and cement plaster veneer at exterior walls with wood battens and exposed aggregate tiles.

Little is known about his education or early career. Herbert Powell (1898-1996), F AlA, was born in Chicago. He received his A.B. from the University of Redlands in 1920, and his A.M. from Harvard University in 1921. He received his license in 1928. In 1927, Smith and Powell entered a partnership with Norman Foote Marsh. The most significant contributions to South Pasadena's architectural landscape from the early 2Qlh century are arguably from the firm Marsh, Smith & Powell. Marsh designed nearly all of the important civic and institutional buildings constructed in South Pasadena during this period. Through the 1930s and early 1940s, Marsh, Smith & Powell designed numerous school commissions that gamered national attention. Their work brought together the latest ideas in functional site plans and child-centered buildings and classrooms, with the all-impmtant indoor-outdoor spaces and connections. The finn served as the University Architect for the University of Southern Califomia, and employed a number of USC architecture alumni, including Thornton M. Abell, William F. Cody, and Whitney R. Smith. Howard Henry Morgridge (1919-2001), FAIA, was bam in Pasadena. He received his B.Archfrom USC in 1942. After World War II, he joined Marsh, Smith & Powell as a designer. After Norman Marsh's death in 1955, Morgridge became a named partner in Smith, Powell & Morgridge. In 1966, this partnership dissolved and Morgridge formed his own practice, but the firm continued in several different iterations. The South Pasadena San Marino YMCA is significant as a rare example of post-World War II institutional development in South Pasadena. It is also significant as a good example of Mid-century Modem institutional architecture by noted local architects Smith, Powell & Morgridge, who are responsible for the design of numerous civic and institutional buildings throughout the city. It exhibits quality of design and distinctive features, including its expressed stack bond brick and wood post-and-beam construction, flat roof with false mansard, and zig-zag CMU patio wall. It retains all seven aspects of integrity.

Instead, single- and multi-family residences from this period are located in established neighborhoods throughout the city. South Pasadena has a good collection of postwar multi-family development, including apartment houses and one- and two-story courtyard apartments. The courtyard housing type evolved in the 1940s, in part as a natural outgro-wth of the bungalow court form of the early 20u, century, and in part in response to the principles of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Government regulations for construction controlled price, size, financing, permits, and materials, which curbed the expression of earlier architectural forms and channeled building toward small houses and apartment houses. At the same time, the postwar population boom necessitated a sudden and substantial need for housing. Developers of courtyard apartment complexes during this period responded by moving away from the 0-shaped plan and adopting other plan types which allowed for the construction of a greater number of units. Garages were no longer incorporated into the plan for the apartment complex itself, and instead were often detached and situated at the rear of the property. Styles, too, evolved during this period, and many reflected features of American Colonial Revival or Minimal Traditional architecture. The Minimal Traditional style is defined by a single-story configuration, simple exterior forms, and a restrained use of traditional architectural detailing. The style had its origins in the principles of the Modem movement and the requirements of the FHA and other Federal programs of the 1930s. Its open plan reflected the developer's desire for greater efficiency. Modem construction methods addressed the builder's need to reduce costs and keep homes affordable to the middle class. Conventional detailing appealed to conservative home buyers and mortgage companies. In Southern California, the style is closely associated with large scale residential developments of the World War II and postwar periods. Though primarily associated with the detached single family house, Minimal Traditional detailing as also applied to apartment buildings of the same period. 821 Grevelia Street is significant as an example of post-World War II multi-family residential development, and as an excellent example of the Minimal Traditional courtyard apartment property type. It retains significant character-defining features of its style and type, including the orientation around central open space, low pitched hipped roofs with overhanging, boxed eaves, smooth cement plaster exterior wall cladding, and projecting entry porches with flat roofs and angled metal pipe supports. It retains all seven aspects of integrity. B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *812. References: City of South Pasadena, Building Pennits. B13. Remarks: "814.

Instead, single and multi-family residences from this period are located in established neighborhoods throughout the city. South Pasadena has a good collection of postwar multi family residential development, including apartment houses and one- and two-slory courtyard apartments. The one-story, mid-century court offered a more modest, lower-density alternative to the typical courtyard housing developments. The one-story court, which was developed beginning in the 1930s through the 1950s, more closely resembled the bungalow courts from which it originated than the courtyard complexes. The one-story courts typically share common walls and are arranged in a linear plan. Buildings were frequently developed in pairs, creating a minimal common area between the two structures, which were most often designed in modest interpretations of popular styles, such as the Minimal Traditional, Traditional Ranch, and Mid-century Modem styles. Additionally, unlike multi-story apartment buildings, mid-century one-story courts often offered each dwelling lUlit direct access to a landscaped courtyard, replicating the relationship of the single family house to its private yard. There is a prevalent design culture in South Pasadena and a tradition of first-rate architecture dating to the city's earliest periods of development that continued into the postwar era. Architects in Southern California during this period developed iterations of a new, regional style that was influenced by the surrounding landscape, as well as modern architectural trends and platming principles that have roots in the prewar era. T11is Regional Modernism combined elements of the International Style with the palette and emphasis on natural materials seen in Arts and Crafts architechrre. The local modern aesthetic used an organic palette, and emphasized a visual connection between indoor and outdoor space. Mid-century Modem is a term used to describe the post-World War II iteration of the International Style in both residential and commercial design. The International Style was characterized by geometric forms, smooth wall surfaces, and an absence of exterior decoration. Mid-century Modem represents the adaptation of these elements to the local climate and topography, as well as to the postwar need for efficiently-built, moderately-priced homes. In Southern California, this often meant the use of wood post-and-beam construction. Mid-century Modernism is often characterized by a clear expression of structure and materials, large expanses of glass, and open interior plans. The style gained popularity because its use of standardized, prefabricated materials permitted quick and economical construction. It became the predominant architectural style in the postwar years and is represented in almost every property type, from single-fatnily residences to commercial buildings to gas stations. Roland A. Ettinger (b. 1932) was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He received his B.Arch from the University of Southern California in 1958. 1777 Grevelia Street is significant as an example of post-World War II multi-family residential development, and an excellent example of the one-story court property type. It is also significant as an excellent exmnple of Mid-century Modem multi-family residential architecture. It exhibits quality of design and distinctive details including the one-story, linear configuration, flat roof with wide overhanging eaves and cantilevered canopies, unadorned wall swfaces, and vertical wood siding exterior wall cladding. It retains all seven aspects of integrity. 911. Additional Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) *812. References: City of South Pasadena, Building Pennits. Scott, Quinta. Along Route 66.

Also address integrity.) There is a prevalent design culture in South Pasadena and a tradition of first-rate architecture dating to the City's earliest periods of development that continued into the postwar era. Architecture in the postwar period exemplified a wide range of design philosophies. Architects in Southern California during this period developed iterations of a new, regional style that was influenced by the surrounding landscape, as well as modern architectural trends and planning principles that have roots in the prewar era. This Regional Modernism combined elements of the International Style with the palette and emphasis on natural materials seen in Arts and Crafts architecture. The local modem aesthetic used an organic palette, and emphasized a visual connection between indoor and outdoor space. Despite the limited opportunities for gro\Vlh in the city, South Pasadena has an excellent collection of single- and multi-family residences from this period, many of which were designed by prominent local practitioners. The Ranch style emerged from the 1930s designs of Southern Califom.ia architect CliffMay, who merged modemist ideas with traditional notions of the working ranches of the American West and in particular, the rustic adobe houses of California's Spanish- and Mexican-era ranchos. The resulting architectural style, characterized by its low horizontal massing, sprawling interior plan, and wood exterior detailing, embodied the mid-20th century ideal of"California living." TI1e Ranch style enjoyed enonnous popularity throughout the United States from the 1940s to 1970s. It epitomized unpretentious architecture and dominated the suburbs of the post-World War II period. It was more conservative than other modern residential architecture of the period, often using decorative elements based on historical forms and capitalizing on the national fascination with the "Old West." The underlying philosophy of the Ranch house was informality, outdoor living, gracious entertaining, and natural materials. The most common style ofRanch house is the California Ranch, characterized by its one-story height; asymmetrical massing~ and low-pitched hipped or gabled roofs with wide overhanging eaves. Another variation on the Ranch house is the Modem Ranch, influenced by Mid-century Modernism. Modem Ranches emphasized horizontal planes more than the California Ranch, and included modern instead of traditional stylistic details. Character-defming features included prominent rectangular chimneys, recessed entryways, and wood or concrete block privacy screens. Other stylistic elements resulted in Asian variations. 220 Hillside Road is significant as an excellent and rare example of Ranch-style residential architecture with Asian influences in South Pasadena. It was designed by local architect H.D. Byles, who worked for master architects Smith & Williams. It exhibits quality of design and distinctive details including its horizontal massing and rambling plan, moderately-pitched cross gable roof with "Wide overhanging eaves and prominent metal-clad ridge beams and outriggers, and prominent exterior brick chimney with pagoda-style chimney cap. It retains all seven aspects of integrity. 811. Additional Resource Attributes: (Ust attributes and codes) "812, References: City of South Pasadena, Building Permits. 813. Remarks: *814.

Cotmnercial development in South Pasadena in the post-World War II period reflects the need for additional services for the growing population, the importance of the automobile, and the continued growth of the commercial district beyond the original commercial core. Commercial property types associated with the postwar commercial growth include retail storefronts, supermarkets, restaurants, automobile-related commercial enterprises, banks, and office buildings. In the postwar era, the nwnber of banks in Southern California grew exponentially as financial institutions followed their customers to the suburbs. Services provided by branch banks included cash withdrawals and deposits with a bank teller, financial advice from a specialist such as a loan officer, and safe deposit box rentals. Many branches also offered drive-through services. There is a prevalent design culture in South Pasadena and a tradition of first-rate architecture dating to the City's earliest periods of development that continued into the postwar era. New Formalism is a sub-type of Late Modern architecture that developed in the mid-1950s as a reaction to the International Style's strict vocabulary and total rejection of historical precedent. New Formalist buildings are monumental in appearance, and reference and abstract classical forms such as full-height columns, projecting cornices, and arcades. Traditional materials such as travertine, marble, or granite were used, but in a panelized, non-traditional form. In Southern California, the style was applied mainly to public and institutional buildings. On a larger urban design scale, grand axes and symmetry were used to achieve a modern monumentality. Ragnar C. Qvale (1915-2001) was born in Trondheim, Norway.

Civic and institutional improvements in South Pasadena were somewhat limited in the decades following World War IT, as development efforts were primarily focused on providing housing for returning Gis and their families. However, there were new institutional facilities constructed during this period, including school buildings, churches, civic buildings, and facilities for community organizations. Architecture in the postwar period exemplified a wide range of design philosophies. Architects in Southern California during this period developed iterations of a new, regional style that was influenced by the surrounding landscape, as well as modem architectural trends and planning principles that have roots in the prewar era. The local modem aesthetic used an organic palette, and emphasized a visual connection between indoor and outdoor space. There is a prevalent design culture in South Pasadena and a tradition offirst~rate architecture dating to the City's earliest periods of development that continued into the postwar era. Mid-century Modem is a tenn used to describe the post-World War II iteration of the International Style in both residential and commercial design. The International Style was characterized by geometric forms, smooth wall surfaces, and an absence of exterior decoration. Mid-century Modern represents the adaptation of these elements to the local climate and topography, as well as to the postwar need for efficiently-built, moderately-priced homes. In Southern California, this often meant the use of wood post-and-beam construction. Mid~century Modernism is often characterized by a clear expression of structure and materials, large expanses of glass, and open interior plans. The style gained popularity because its use of standardized, prefabricated materials permitted quick and economical construction. It became the predominant architectural style in the postwar years and is represented in almost every property type, from single-family residences to commercial buildings to gas stations. Little & Lav.:rence designed several churches for the Church or Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; other kno'Wll examples in Southern California are located in Riverside and Los Angeles. The Church of Jesus Christ ofLatter-Day Saints is significant as an example of post~ World War ll institutional development in South Pasadena, and as an excellent example ofMid~century Modern institutional architecture.

Instead, noteworthy examples ofMid~century Modem single- and multi-family residences are located in established neighborhoods throughout the city. In particular, there is residential development clustered in the hillside neighborhoods in the western part of the city, representing advances in technology in the postwar period that allowed for development on previously unbuildable lots. Architecture in the postwar period exemplified a wide range of design philosophies. Architects in Southern Califom.ia during this period developed iterations of anew, regional style that was influenced by the surrounding landscape, as well as modem architectural trends and planning principles that have roots in the prewar era. This Regional Modernism combined elements of the International Style with the palette and emphasis on natural materials seen in Arts and Crafts architecture. The local modem aesthetic used an organic palette, and emphasized a visual connection between indoor and outdoor space. Despite the limited opportunities for growth in the city, South Pasadena has an excellent collection of single- and multi-fbmily residences from this period, many of\ovhich were designed by prominent local practitioners. There is a prevalent design culture in South Pasadena and a tradition of first-rate architecture dating to the city's earliest periods of development that continued into the postwar era. Mid-century Modern represents the adaptation of these elements to the local climate and topography, as well as to the post\.var need for efficiently-built, moderately-priced homes. In Southem California, this often meant the use of wood post-and-beam construction. Mid-century Modernism is often characterized by a clear expression of structure and materials, large expanses of glass, and open interior plans. The style gained popularity because its use of standardized, prefabricated materials permitted quick and economical construction. It became the predominant architectural style in the postvvar years and is represented in almost every property type, from single-family residences to commercial buildings to gas stations. Architect Gilbert Hershberger was born in Ventura, CAin 1927. He received his B.Arch from the University of Southern California in 1956, and began his architectural practice in 1962. He is one of several architects and designers from the period to live and work in South Pasadena. Several of Hershberger's residential designs were published in House & Home and the Los Angeles Times, including his "Garden House" designed for the Los Angeles Home Show in 1961. 1501 Indiana Avenue is significant as an example of post-World War II single-family residential development in the hills of South Pasadena; and as an excellent example of Mid century Modem residential architecture by Gilbert Hershberger. It exhibits quality of design and distinctive features including its expressed post-and beam construction, flat and folded plate roof with wide overhanging eaves, wood board-and-batten siding, and stilts to accommodate the hillside site.

Also address integrity.) 1619 Indiana Avenue is located in the Altos de Monterey single-family residential development Altos de Monterey is the largest post-war single-family residential housing development in South Pasadena, and it is emblematic of the "close-in'' communities which became highly desirable in the Los Angeles area during the late 1950s and 1960s. In the Los Angeles area, much of the available flat land from which one could easily commute to downtown and new industrial centers via the expanding freeway system was developed by the 1950s. In response, builders (and enterprising city leaders) began looking to the previously undeveloped hills for new housing tracts. Given the higher costs associated with grading, hillside developments necessitated higher prices and offered amenities such as underground utilities. In 1950, City officials in South Pasadena turned their attention to Monterey Hills, the last nndeveloped parcel within the City limits. Following the establishment of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in 1953, the CRA worked to secure a loan from the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) to fund the development of the area. Repayment would come from the proceeds of the property sales. In 1958, the CRA was granted a federal loan of$4.5 million to finance the construction of Altos de Monterey, a 631-parcel, single-family residential subdivision. The project garnered national attention as the conntry's first open-land, straight-loan residential development project and one of the largest undertaken by the Urban Renewal Agency. The 309-acre site was graded, street improvements constructed, and all utilities buried underground. The first auction was held in January 1964, with final lots sales believed to have been completed by 1969-1970. Parcels could be purchased by individuals or by builder/developers for resale. Roughly 63% of the lots were sold to builders and 37% to individual owners. As a result, residences within Altos de Monterey comprise a combination of tract homes and individual, site-specific designs. There are a number of architecturally significant homes in the development, many designed by prominent architects of the period. All residential designs were subject to approval of the architectural control committee that included local architect Whitney R Smith. Architecture in the postwar period exemplified a wide range of design philosophies. Architects in Southern California during this period developed iterations of a new, regional style that was influenced by the surrounding landscape, as well as modern architectural trends and planning principles that have roots in the prewar era This Regional Modernism combined elements of the International Style with the palette and emphasis on natural materials seen in Arts and Crafts architecture. The local modem aesthetic used an organic palette, and emphasized a visual connection between indoor and outdoor space. Despite the limited opportunities for growth in the city, South Pasadena has an excellent collection of single- and multi-family residences from this period, many of which were desi~orned by prominent local practitioners. There is a prevalent design culture in South Pasadena and a tradition offust-rate architecture dating to the City's earliest periods of development that continued into the postwar era. Late Modernism is the evolution ofModern architecture from the mid-1950s through the 1970s. Unlike the straightforward, functionalist simplicity of International Style and Mid-century Modernism, Late Modern buildings exhibit a more deliberate sculptural quality with bold geometric volumes, uniform surfaces such as glass skin or concrete, and a sometimes exaggerated expression of structure and systems. 1619 Indiana Avenue is significant as an example of post-World War II residential development in South Pasadena, representing Altos de Monterey, the largest postwarhous.ing development in the city, which gained national attention as the country's first open-land, straight-loan residential development project and one ofthe largest undertaken by the Urban Renewal Agency. It is also significant as an excellent example ofLate Modem residential architecture in South Pasadena It exhibits quality of design and distinctive features including its composition of a series of geometric volumes, cement plaster veneer at exierior walls, and metal floating stair with cement plaster screen wall It retains all seven aspects of integrity. 811.

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) Aside from the land comprising the Raymond Hill and Altos de Monterey developments, there was little undeveloped land within the city limits. Instead, single and multi-family residences from this period arc located in established neighborhoods throughout the city. South Pasadena has a good collection of postwar multi family residential development, including apartment houses and one- and two-story courtyard apartments. The one-story, mid-century court offered a more modest, lower-density alternative to the typical courtyard housing developments. The one-story court, which was developed beginning in the 1930s through the 1950s, more closely resembled the bungalow courts from ·which it originated than the courtyard complexes. The one-story courts typically share common walls and are arranged in a linear plan. Buildings were frequently developed in pairs, creating a minimal common area between the t\vo structures, which were most often designed in modest interpretations of popular styles, such as the Minimal Traditional, Traditional Ranch, and Mid-century Modern styles. Additionally, unlike multi-story apartment buildings, mid-century one-story courts often offered each dwelling unit direct access to a landscaped courtyard, replicating the relationship of the single family house to its private yard. The Minimal Traditional style is defmed by a single-story configuration, simple ex1:erior forms, and a restrained use of traditional architectural detailing. The style had its origins in the principles of the Modem movement and the requirements oftbe FHA and other Federal programs of the 1930s. Its open plan reflected the developer's desire for greater efficiency. Modem construction methods addressed the builder's need to reduce costs and keep homes affordable to the middle class. Conventional detailing appealed to conservative home buyers and mortgage companies. In Southern Califomia, the style is closely associated with large scale residential developments of the World War II and postwar periods. Though primarily associated with the detached single family house, Minimal Traditional detailing as also applied to apartment buildings of the same period. 1014 Kendall Avenue is significant an example of post-World War II multi-family residential development in South Pasadena, and an excellent example of the one story court property type. It retains significant character-defining features of its style and type, including the configuration oftwo one-story volumes organized around a central driveway, low-pitched, hipped roof with wide, overhanging, open eaves, and steel sash, divided light casement, composite, comer, and £xed windows. It retains all seven aspects of integrity. 811. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *812. References: 813. Remarks: '814.

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) Aside from the land comprising the Raymond Hill and Altos de Monterey developments, there was little undeveloped land within the city limits after World War II. Instead, single- and multi-family residences from this period are located in established neighborhoods throughout the city. South Pasadena has a good collection of postwar multi-family development, including apartment houses and one- and two-story courtyard apartments. The courtyard housing type evolved in the 1940s, in part as a natural outgrowth of the blU1galow court fonn of the early 20u' century, and in part in response to the principles of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Government regulations for construction controlled price, size, financing, permits, and materials, which curbed the expression of earlier architectural forms and chmmeled building toward small houses and apartment houses. At the same time, the postwar population boom necessitated a sudden and substantial need for housing. Developers of courtyard apartment complexes during this period responded by moving away from the 0-shapcd plan and adopting other plan types which allowed for the construction of a greater number of units. Garages were no longer incorporated into the plan for the apartment complex itself, and instead were often detached and situated at the rear of the property. Styles, too, evolved during this period, and many reflected features of American Colonial Revival or Minimal Traditional architecture. The Minimal Traditional style is defined by a single-story configuration, simple exterior fonns, and a restrained use of traditional architectural detailing. The style had its origins in the principles of the Modern movement and the requirements of the FHA and other Federal programs of the 1930s. Its open plan reflected the developer's desire for greater efficiency. Modern construction methods addressed the builder's need to reduce costs and keep homes affordable to the middle class. Conventional detailing appealed to conservative home buyers and mortgage companies. In Southern California, the style is closely associated with large scale residential developments of the World War II and postwar periods. Though primarily associated with the detached single family house, Minimal Traditional detailing as also applied to apartment buildings of the smne period. 421 Mission Street is significant as an example ofpost-World War II multi-family residential development in South Pasadena, and as an excellent example of the Minimal Traditional courtyard apartment property type. It retains significant character-de:frning features of its original style and type, including the configuration of two, two-story buildings around a central courtyard, the low-pitched hipped roof with overhanging boxed eaves, smooth cement plaster veneer at exterior walls with decorative paired angled fins framing raised plaster squares, and steel sash, divided light windows. It retains all seven aspects of integrity. 611. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *812. References: City of South Pasadena, Building Permits. 613. Remarks: *814.

Instead, noteworthy examples of Mid-century Modem single- and multi-family residences are located in established neighborhoods throughout the city. In particular, there is residential development clustered in the hillside neighborhoods in the western part of the city, representing advances in teclmology in the postwar period that allowed for development on previously unbuildable lots. Architecture in the postwar period exemplified a wide range of design philosophies. Architects in Southcm California during this period developed iterations of a new, regional style that was influenced by the surrounding landscape, as well as modem architectural trends and planning principles that have roots in the prewar era. This Regional Modernism combined elements of the International Style with the palette and emphasis on natural materials seen in Arts and Crafts architecture. The local modem aesthetic used an organic palette, and emphasized a visual connection between indoor and outdoor space. Despite the limited opportunities for growth in the city, South Pasadena has an excellent collection of single- and multi-family residences from this period, many of which were designed by prominent local practitioners. There is a prevalent design culture in South Pasadena and a tradition of first-rate architecture dating to the City's earliest periods of development that continued into the postwar era. Mid-century Modern is a term used to describe the post-World War II iteration of the Intemational Style in both residential and commercial design. The International Style was characterized by geometric forms, smooth wall surfaces, and an absence of exterior decoration. Mid-century Modern represents the adaptation of these elements to the local climate and topography, as well as to the postwar need for efficiently-built, moderately-priced homes. In Southern California, tl1is often meant the use of wood post-and-beam construction. Mid-century Modernism is often characterized by a clear expression of structure and materials, large expanses of glass, and open interior plans. The style gained popularity because its use of standardized, prefabricated materials permitted quick and economical construction. It became the predominant architectural style in the postwar years and is represented in almost every property type, from single-family residences to commercial buildings to gas stations. 1260 Oak Hill is significant as an example ofpost-World War IT single-family residential development in the hills of South Pasadena; and as an excellent example of Mid-century Modem residential architecture. It occupies a prominent hillside site, and exhibits quality of design and distinctive features including the expressed post and-beam construction, flat roof with overhanging eaves, and Wladomed wall surfaces.

There is a prevalent design culture in South Pasadena and a tradition of first-rate architecture dating to the City's earliest periods of development that continued into the postwar era. The Tiki style is a themed architecture, loosely inspired by Polynesian precedents. It was first popularized in California the 1930s with the founding of two successful Polynesian themed restaurants, Don the Beachcomber in Hollywood and Trader Vic's in Oakland, both of which featured exotic rum-based cocktails, flaming torches, and carved wood statues. In the years after World War II the fad ±br Polynesian-themed kitsch >vas fueled in part by the stories and souvenirs of soldiers returning from service in the Pacific. It was disseminated on a much wider level by Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl's sensational 1947 voyage from South America to Polynesia on a raft called Kon-Tiki, and by Tales ofthe South Pacific, James Michener's 1948 Pulitzer Prize winning collection of short stories that was adapted into the hit Broadway musical South Pacific. In the 1950s and 1960s the romanticized exoticism of Tiki design found its way into restaurants, bars, motels, apartment buildings, and even private homes with towering A-frame roofiines, carved wood beams, lava rock walls, and bamboo trim. 1133 Pine Street is significant as an example of post-World War II multi-family residential development in South Pasadena, and as an excellent example of the courtyard property type. It is also significant as a rare local example ofTiki-style multi-family residential architecture.

Altos de Monterey was the largest post-war single-family residential housing development in South Pasadena, and it was emblematic of the "close-in" communities which became highly desirable in the Los Angeles area during the late 1950s and 1960s. In the Los Angeles area, much of the available flat land from which one could easily commute to downtown and new industrial centers via the expanding freeway system was developed by the 1950s. In response, builders (and enterprising city leaders) began looking to the previously undeveloped hills for new housing tracts. Given the higher costs associated with grading, hillside developments necessitated higher prices and offered amenities such as underground utilities. In 1950, City officials in South Pasadena turned their attention to Monterey Hills, the last undeveloped parcel within the City limits. Following the establishment of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in 1953, the CRA worked to secure a loan from the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) to fund the development of the area. Repayment would come from the proceeds of the property sales. In 1958, the CRA was granted a federal loan of $4.5 million to finance the construction of Altos de Monterey, a 631-parcel, single-family residential subdivision. The project garnered national attention as the country's first open-land, straight-loan residential development project and one of the largest undertaken by the Urban Renewal Agency. The 309-acre site was graded, street improvements constructed, and all utilities buried underground. The first auction was held in January 1964, with final lots sales believed to have been completed by 1969-1970. Parcels could be purchased by individuals or by builder/developers for resale. Roughly 63% of the lots were sold to builders and 37% to individual owners. As a result, residences within Altos de Monterey comprise a combination of tract homes and individual, site-specific designs. There are a number of architecturally significant homes in the development, many designed by prominent architects of the period. All residential designs were subject to approval of the architectural control committee that included local architect \Vhitney R. Smith. See Continuation Sheet. 811.

Architects in Southern California during this period developed iterations of a new, regional style that was influenced by the surrounding landscape, as well as modem architectural trends and planning principles that have roots in the prewar era. This Regional Modernism combined elements of the International Style with the palette and emphasis on natural materials seen in Arts and Crafts architecture. The local modem aesthetic used an organic palette, and emphasized a visual connection between indoor and outdoor space. Despite the limited opportunities for gro-wth in the city, South Pasadena has an excellent collection of single- and multi-family residences from this period, many of which were designed by prominent local practitioners. There is a prevalent design culture in South Pasadena and a tradition of first-rate architecture dating to the City's earliest periods of development that continued into the postwar era. Mid-century Modem is a term used to describe the post-World War II iteration of the International Style in both residential and commercial design. The International Style was characterized by geomettic forms, smooth wall surfaces, and an absence of exterior decoration. Mid-cen1uty Modem represents the adaptation of these elements to the local climate and topography, as well as to the postwar need for efficiently-built, moderately-priced homes. In Southern California, this often meant the use of wood post-and-beam construction. Mid-century Modemism is often characterized by a clear expression of stTUcture and matetials, large expanses of glass, and open interior plans. The style gained popularity because its use of standardized, prefabricated materials permitted quick and economical construction. It became the predominant architectural style in the postwar years and is represented in almost every property type, from single-family residences to commercial buildings to gas stations. Miller Pong (b. 194 I), AlA, was born in Los Angeles. He received his B.Arch. from the University of Southern California in 1964. He worked for Neptune & Thomas Associates in 1965, the Bechtel Corporation from 1965 to 1969, and, after receiving his license in 1968, formed his ovm practice in 1970. He is a senior lecturer at the University of Southern Califomia School of Architecture. In addition to his architectural practice, Pong was the principal designer for Pong Brother Co., his family's fumiture business, manufacturing rattan and wicker furniture for the hospitality industry. His architecture and furniture designs have been published in numerous magazines and newspapers, and his Zen-inspired Lotus chair (1968), is in the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. 1746 Las Palmitas Street is significant as an example of post-World War II residential development in South Pasadena, representing Altos de Monterey, the largest postwar housing development in the city, which gained national attention as the country's frrst open-land, straight-loan residential development project and one of the largest undertaken by the Urban Renewal Agency. It is also significant as an excellent example of Mid-century Modem residential architecture in South Pasadena by noted architect Miller Pong. It exhibits quality of design and distinctive features, including the horizontal massing, flat roof, cement plaster veneer and vertical wood siding at exterior walls, and recessed entry with flat canopy and pair of wood doors. It retains all seven aspects of integrity.

Instead, single- and multi-family residences from this period are located in established neighborhoods throughout the city. South Pasadena has a good collection of postwar multi-family development, including apartment houses and one- and two-sto:ry courtyard apartments. The courtyard housing type evolved in the 1940s, in part as a natural outgrowth of the bungalow court form of the early 201h century, and in part in response to the principles of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). At the same time, the postwar population boom necessitated a sudden and substantial need for housing. Developers of courtyard apartment complexes during this period responded by moving away from the 0-shaped plan and adopting other plan types which allowed for the construction of a greater number of units. Garages were no longer incorporated into the plan for the apartment complex itself, and instead were often detached and situated at the rear ofthe property.

In the Los Angeles area, much of the available flat land from which one could easily commute to downtown and new industrial centers via the expanding freeway system was developed by the 1950s. In response, builders (and enterprising city leaders) began looking to the previously undeveloped hills for new housing tracts. Given the higher costs associated with grading, hillside developments necessitated higher prices and offered amenities such as underground utilities. In 1950, City officials in South Pasadena turned their attention to Monterey Hills, the last undeveloped parcel within the City limits. Following the establishment of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in 1953, the CRA worked to secure a loan from the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) to fund the development of the area. Repayment would come from the proceeds ofthe property sales. In 1958, the CRA was granted a federal loan of $4.5 million to fmance the construction of Altos de Monterey, a 631-parcel, single-family residential subdivision. The project garnered national attention as the country's first open-land, straight-loan residential development project and one of the largest undertaken by the Urban Renewal Agency. The 309-acre site was graded, street improvements constructed, and all utilities buried underground. The first auction was held in January 1964, with final lots sales believed to have been completed by 1969-1970. Parcels could be purchased by individuals or by builder/developers for resale. Roughly 63% of the lots were sold to builders and 37% to individual owners. As a result, residences within Altos de Monterey comprise a combination of tract homes and individual, site-specific designs. There are a number of architecturally significant homes in the development, many designed by prominent architects of the period. All residential designs were subject to approval of the architectural control committee that included local architect Whitney R. Smith. Architecture in the postwar period exemplified a wide range of design philosophies. Architects in Southern California during this period developed iterations of a new, regional style that was influenced by the surrounding landscape, as well as modem architectural trends and planning principles that have roots in the prewar era. This Regional Modernism combined elements of the International Style with the palette and emphasis on natural materials seen in Arts and Crafts architecture. The local modem aesthetic used an organic palette, and emphasized a visual connection between indoor and outdoor space. Despite the limited opportunities for growth in the city, South Pasadena has an excellent collection of single~ and multi-family residences from this period, many of which were designed by prominent local practitioners. There is a prevalent design culture in South Pasadena and a tradition of first-rate architecture dating to the City's earliest periods of development that continued into the postwar era. Mid-century Modem is a term used to describe the post-World War II iteration of the International Style in both residential and commercial design. The International Style was characterized by geometric forms, smooth wall surfaces, and an absence of exterior decoration. Mid-century Modem represents the adaptation of these elements to the local climate and topography, as well as to the postwar need for efficiently-built, moderately-priced homes. In Southern California, this often meant the use of wood post and-beam construction. :Mid-century Modernism is often characterized by a clear expression of structure and materials, large expanses of glass, and open interior plans. The style gained popularity because its use of standardized, prefabricated materials pennitted quick and economical construction. 1231 Via Del Rey was the Los Angeles Times Model House of 1964. The modern-style residence by architect Robert H. Skinner was featured prominently in the Los Ange/e Times Home Magazine. It was published in ATchitectural Record as one of the ''Record Houses of 1965." Hemy Soto was the landscape architect, and Roger P. Wood led the interior design. 1231 Via Del Rey is significant as an example of post-World War ll residential development in South Pasadena, representing Altos de Monterey, the largest postwar housing development in the city, which gained national attention as the country's first open-land, straight~loan residential development project and one of the largest undertaken by the Urban Renewal Agency. It is also significant as an excellent example ofMid-century Modem residential architecture by architect Robert Skinner. It exhibits quality of design and distinctive features including the flat roo( unadorned wall surfaces, and projecting portico with flat roof on slender posts. It retains all seven as_rects of integrity. 811. Additional Resource Attributes: (Ust elttributes and codes) *812. References: City of South Pasadena, Building Pennits. 813. Remarks: *814.

This was the site of the Altos de Monterey Information Pavilion during the sale of lots within the development (South Pasadena Rwiew, January 5, 1966). Altos de Monterey is emblematic ofthe "close-in" commW1ities which became highly desirable in the Los Angeles area during the late 1950s and 1960s. In the Los Angeles area, much of the available flat land from which one could easily commute to downtown and new industrial centers via the expanding freeway system was developed by the 1950s. In response, builders (and enterprising city leaders) began looking to the previously undeveloped hills for new housing tracts. Given the higher costs associated with grading, hillside developments necessitated higher prices and offered amenities such as underground utilities. In 1950, City officials in South Pasadena turned their attention to Monterey Hills, the last undeveloped parcel within the City limits. Following the establishment of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in 1953, the CRA worked to secure a loan from the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) to fund the development of the area. Repayment would come from the proceeds of the property sales.

It is located on the southern portion of the original property associated with the Raymond Hotel which was demolished in 1934; this portion of the grounds -was subdivided for residential development in 1941. The district follows the original subdivision boundaries, which extended east from Brent Avenue to the Southern Pacific· right-of-way, and was bounded on the north by Grevelia Street, and on the south by Hope Street A new street paralleling Brent was added and named Park Avenue. The terrain is generally flat, with a slight upward slope toward the northern portions of Raymond HilL The streets are arranged in a traditional grid pattern, with consistent lot sizes along Brent Avenue and the west side of Park Avenue. Most lots are 50xl50, with 25-foot setbacks. The east side ofBrent Avenue has a standard five-foot parkway in front of a five-foot sidewalk. On Park Avenue there was originally a planting easement between the property lines. lbe multi-family residences are primarily one- and two-story courtyard apartments, with the only exceptions being those constructed outside the period of significance. The buildings are all Minimal Traditional in style, some with Ranch-style influences. In general, there are only minimal alterations (including some window replacements) to individual residences throughout the district. Building footprints are generally rectangular or L-shaped around a central courtyard; in many cases buildings on two parcels are oriented around a central landscaped space, creating a courtyard configuration. Paved paths (usually concrete) lead from the sidewalks to entrances on entrances to the individual units. Front yard and courtyard landscaping is generally mature with hedges, trees, and grassy lawns. Parking for the properties along Brent Avenue and the west side of Park Avenue is located at the rear of the property, and accessed via Palermo Lane. There are 28 contributors and 1 non-contributor out of a possible 29 buildings. *04.

Also address the integrity of the district as a whole.) The 1940s Courtyard Apartment Historic District is a subdivision that originally comprised the southern portion of the grounds of the Raymond Hotel. The Raymond Hotel vvas demolished in 1934 after closing due to the economic effects of the Great Depression. This portion of the property was proposed for multi-family residential development, and a subdivision map was accepted by the South Pasadena City Council in January 1941. The Prentiss Schafer Company was the exclusive selling agent for the property. The first buildings under construction in this subdivision were two five-unit apartment houses at 716 and 718 Brent Avenue, built by the Empire Building Company of Los Angeles. The Empire Building Company also built 633 Park Avenue and 701 Park Avenue. 705-719 Park and 722-728 Brent were built by Bain-Young Construction Company for Thomas A. Young and John M. Bain, owners. Plans were drawn by Robert Ashton and William Chadwick. 620-622 Brent and 631-732 Park (nine four-unit apartments) were built by Bain and Young, Co. The 1940s Courtyard Apartment Historic District is significant as an excellent and intact example of multi-family residential development in South Pasadena, spanning the years during and immediately after World War II. It consists of one- and two-story courtyard apartments oriented around open space. There are only minimal alterations to individual residences in the district, and the district overall retains all seven aspects of integrity and a strong sense of time and place. The period of significance is from 1941 to 1950, which encompasses the earliest contributing multi-family residence to the latest. 97% of the buildings within the district boundary are contributing. *07.

List all elements of district.): Altos de Monterey is located in the southwest section of South Pasadena. The district comprises the only large-scale, comprehensive residential development from the post-World War II period in South Pasadena. It consists of single-family residences unified aesthetically by plan, physical development, and architectural quality, representing post-World War II planning principles. It consists of Via Del Rey, Camino Del Sol Los Laureles Street, Los Alisos, Camino Verde, La Terraza Street, Camino Lindo, La Fremontia Street, La Portada Street, the 1800 and 1900 blocks of Alpha Street, and the 1600 block of Indiana Avenue. There is a curvilinear street pattern confonningthat confonns to the natural topography, with a series of cui-de sacs throughout the district. There are concrete curbs and sidewalks, along with landscaped parkways. Residences within Altos de Monterey comprise a combination of tract homes and individual, site-specific designs in the Mid-Century Modem, Ranch, and Late Modem architectural styles. There are a number of architecturally significant homes in the development, many designed by prominent architects of the period. The residences are one- and two stories in height, and generally rectangular in plan. Homes in Altos de Monterey are generally accessed from the street via concrete or asphalt driveways. There are integrated or prominent detached multi-car carports or garages in various configurations that are set either perpendicular or parallel to the street. Setbacks are generally consistent, with ample front lawns and mature trees and other landscaping throughout the district. The district is defmed by its notable lack of front fences, which allows the rolling hills, curvilinear streets, and unified landscaping to maintain the visual continuity and cohesiveness of the district. Amenities for the residents include the Monterey Hills School, completed in 1967 and located near the center of the development. There are approximately 634 properties within the district boundary. *D4.

The 309-acre site (approximately one-fifth of the City of South Pasadena) was graded, street improvements constructed, and all utilities buried lU1derground. The fust house was completed in September of 1964. By 1965, twenty~two model homes in a wide range of styles were open for inspection by builders such as Halo Homes, Rudnick Homes, Shanahan Homes, Throp and Hoyt Homes, and Wencon Homes. Each builder carved out his own price point and featured amenities. Homes were produced in a range of architectural styles with builders preferring "rustic contemporary design ... because sixty percent of the market seems to want this style with thick shake roofs, wood siding and plenty of masonry." By December 31, 1965 a total of 441 lots had been sold (13 lots were set aside for an elementary school site and six lots were purchased by the City of South Pasadena). By the end of that year, 160 homes had been completed, 105 families had moved in, and another 101 homes were in various phases of construction. In 1967, Monterey Hills School was completed in the center of the development as an additional amenity. (See continuation sheet) *D7.

Chaix, FAlA, Earl Kasten bach & Associates, Temstrom & Skinner, and Howard Gewertz. Altos de Monterey was the largest post-war single-family residential housing development in South Pasadena, and it was emblematic of the "close-in" communities which became highly desirable in the Los Angeles area during the late 1950s and 1960s. The period of significance for this district is from 1953 to 1972. There are numerous alterations to individual residents throughout the district and new inftll construction within the district boundary.

Also address the integrity of the district as a whole.} The subdivision that becan1e the Grace Drive Residential Planning District was originally a single property that was demolished sometime after 1930. Following demolition ofthe original property, the area was re-zoned to accommodate duplexes. In 1953, architect Bob Ray Offenhauser and his father bought two of the lots that had been re-zoned. The duplexes sold immediately "reaping handsome profits," and Offenhauser was commissioned to design 12 more on the street. All of the duplexes were constructed between 1953 and 1958. The remainder of the parcels were developed with single-family residences. A proponent of Regional Modernism, Bob Ray Offenhauser (b.1927) graduated from the USC School of Architecture in 1952. His first commission was from his parents, in lieu of a graduation trip to Europe. In partnership with his father, who had recently retired and had previous experience in the building trade, Offenhauser designed a small garden apartment complex in Arcadia that was intended as the family home. The complex quickly sold, however, and Offenhauser designed a second home for the family in San Marino in 1955, which was photographed by Julius Shulman and published in House and Garden in 1957. A notable commission during this time was from artist Millard Sheets, who asked Offenhauser to design a pavilion for the Pomona Valley Fair. Over the course of his career, upscale single-family homes became the hallmark ofOffenhauser's work, although he continued to design multi-familyhousing as well as commercial and institutional projects, including the Botanical Center and the Chinese Garden at the Huntington Library in San Marino. In 1978, Offenhauser settled in South Pasadena, where he constructed a home on Columbia Avenue. Grace Drive is the only example of a cohesively-designed Ranch style single- and multi-family residential development in South Pasadena. Its period of significance is from 1953 to 1958, which encompasses the earliest residence to the latest. There are numerous alterations to individual residence and Grace Drive does not retain sufficient integrity for listing as a historic district. However, the district retains a strong sense of time and place and reflects important development patterns of the mid-20th century.

State Street It is composed of multi-story multi-family residences and apartment complexes which are generously proportioned, typically rectangular in plan, and set on irregular lots. The multi-family residences are constructed in the Mid-century Modern and Minimal Traditional architectural styles. The topography is hilly, and the district is laid out along curvilinear streets, with mature landscaping. Apartment complexes feature large parking areas, a series of carports, or subterranean parking to accommodate the increasingly automobile-oriented nature of postwar Southern California. *D4.

Also address th~ integrity of the district as a whole.) Fireside Manor is located on Raymond Hill, on golf course for the Raymond Hotel, which was demolished in 1934. It is located immediately adjacent to Paul Trousdale's Raymond Hill Apartments. In 1947-1948, developers proposed a $500,000 development including four-and six-story apartment buildings housing 1,500 rental units. Developers Frank A. Murphy and Harrison R. Baker (a.k.a., Parkway-Fairoaks, Inc.) developed the largest subdivision in the history of the city to that point: 72 large lots of 15,000 square feet each. Mirroring the circular plan of the adjacent Trousdale development, Baker and Murphy laid out a system of curving streets. Harrison R. Baker was a long-time Pasadena real estate broker and land developer who also served several terms on the California Highway Commission and was instrumental in furthering the area's freevvay system. He was known as the "Father of the Pasadena Freeway." Developer Merton H. Baker planned to build 40 buildings in the tract as part ofllls $2,000,000 Fireside Manor de-luxe apartment project. By fall of 1952, the developer had erected eight buildings- mostly one-and two-story six-unit buildings in the Minimal Traditional style. One year later, he had created a total of 16 buildings. In 1954, Baker engaged architect Edward H. Fickett, FAIA to design one of the most upscale apartment buildings in the development, the Fireside Lanai. An architect who worked almost exclusively for developers, Fickett understood how to blend modem post-and-beam construction techniques and aesthetics into efficient single-family and multi-family residential projects that would maximize a developer's return on investment. The 40-unit Fireside Manor Lanai (1633 Amberwood Drive) exemplified Fickett's modem design aesthetic with its large expanses of glass and long, low-pitched roof1ine. "Fireside Manor" was a "branded" line of apartment hotel rental properties for Baker, with opportunities to rent by the day or month. Baker owned similarly named holdings in Hollywood, Monterey Park, and Inglewood. (See continuation sheet) *D7.

Phase one was an 85- unit, three-story apartment building at 400 Raymondale Drive. Phase two was constructed in 1960 on the property to the south along State Street, and designed by architects Rochlin & Baran. The project featured modem design and broad eaves for shading the private lanais and pool area. Baker was not the only developer to erect buildings in the development. The last multi-family residential unit was constructed at the comer of Raymondale Drive and Amberwood Drive by Albert and Maury Abrams in 1967.

Also address the integrity of the district as a whole.) The Minimal Traditional Single-Family Residential Planning District is a collection ofMinimal Traditional-style residences in South Pasadena constructed in the late 1930s and 1940s. In the 1936, California Subdividers, Ltd., subdivided this 20-acre tract as a "high class residential area." The property was subdivided into ninety lots, most of which were for single-family homes, with the exception of the Huntington Drive frontage, which was reserved for apartment houses. One of the platted streets was originally named Poplar Street, but was later re-named Oneonta Knoll Street to avoid confusion with a street of the same name in neighboring Alhambra. The Minimal Traditional style is defmed by a single-story configuration, simple exterior forms, and a restrained use of traditional architectural detailing. The Minimal Traditional house was immensely popular in large suburban residential developments throughout the United States during the 1940s and early 1950s, but it has its origins in the principles of the Modern movement and the requirements of the FHA and other Federal programs of the 1930s. Primarily associated with the detached single family house, Minimal Traditional detailing may also be applied to apartment buildings from this period. The Minimal Traditional Single-Family Residential Planning District represents a neighborhood of moderately scaled, Minimal Traditional dwellings. It does not retain sufficient integrity for listing as a historic district. However, the district retains a strong sense of time and place, and reflects development patterns of the 1930s and 1940s. Therefore, it should be given special consideration for local planning purposes. *07.

It is located on the northern portion of the original property associated with the Raymond Hotel which was demolished in 1934; this portion of the Raymond Hotel property was subdivided for multi-family residential development in 1945 and all of the residences were constructed in 1946. The district consists of the 100 block of Cedar Crest Avenue, the 1600 and 1700 blocks of Raymond Hill Road, and the 100 and 200 blocks of Mockingbird Lane. The terrain is hilly, and the configuration of each building on its lot is in response to the topography. The district is composed exclusively of two-story, Minimal Traditional apartment houses. The buildings are rectangular in plan, with hipped roofs, cement plaster exterior wall cladding, and divided light wood casement windows. Multi-car detached garages are situated beside or behind the apartment buildings. 1b.e district is laid out along curvilinear streets, with lush landscaping and numerous mature trees.

Significance: Theme: Post-World War II Subdivisions & Tract Development Area: Raymond Hill Period of Significance: 1946 Applicable Criteria: A, C (Discuss district's importance in terms of its historical context as defined by theme, period of significance, and geographic scope. Also address the integrity of the district as a whole.) In response to the overall need for postwar housing in Southern California, well-known developer Paul Trousdale acquired a tract ofland on Raymond Hill (the fanner site of the Raymond Hotel, which was demolished in 1934) for a large multi-family residential development. In 1945, Trousdale subdivided the land into 36 lots along streets arranged in a circular pattern to take advantages ofthe natural contours of the land and create a bucolic environment. Four-unit buildings of similar design were constructed on each of the 36 lots and the development became kno\Vll as the "Raymond Hill Apartments." Advertisements from the 1950s touted the development for the "de-luxe views" and "curved streets and palm tree envirmmwnt just fifteen minutes from downtown Los Angeles." The one- and two-bedroom units featured :frreplaces, appliances, and garages. They were to be sold instead of rented - a cooperative buying plan, the first of its kind in South Pasadena. Instead of paying rent, residents of the one- and two-bedroom apartments would purchase stock in the corporation. Down payments ranged from $3 800 to $5000, followed by monthly payments of about $55 or $60 until the mortgage was paid. In 1951, the "investor syndicate" owners of the Raymond Hill Apartments offered the buildings for individual sale to purchasers. By 1953, all thirty-six buildings had sold. Several buyers bought two or more buildings. Paul Whitney Trousdale (1915-1990) was a second-generation developer. Trousdale was responsible for the development and creation of more than 25,000 homes throughout Southern California. Born near Gallatin, Tennessee, he attended Los Angeles High School and completed one year at the University of Southern California. A born salesman, he dabbled in advertising, selling gum and other products, then switched to real estate. During World War II, he built large estates for movie stars and executives, and approximately 3,000 single-family houses, including seven large housing projects. A 1949 Los Angeles Times ad for Trousdale and Associates featured the South Pasadena development with a valuation at $1,152,000, which was the smallest of the organization's holdings. Trousdale would later embark on two of his best-known developments: Baldwin Hills Estates and later, Trousdale Estates in Beverly Hills. The Raymond Hill Apartments Multi-Family Residential District is significant as an excellent and intact example of multi-family residential development in South Pasadena, associated with prominent development Paul Trousdale. It consists of similarly-designed Minimal Traditional style apartment houses set in a hilly topography with lush, mature landscaping and a curvilinear street pattern. Although there have been minor alterations to individual properties, the district overall retains all seven aspects of integrity and a strong sense of time and place. The period of significance is 1946, when all of the apartment houses were built. 100% of the buildings within the district boundary are contributing. *07.

Attached is an e-mail from Commissioner Howell-Ardila regarding this discussion. Also attached is a map of the potential and designated historic districts in the City. 1 John Mayer Subject: Item for CHC March agenda From: Debi Howe\1-Ardi\a Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2016 12:25 PM To: John Mayer; James P Mclane III Subject: Item for CHC March agenda Dear John, Jim and I have put together the following CHC agenda item, for our March meeting. Please add this to the agenda. This item serves to expand upon/refine the item we agendized at our February meeting on garages in historic districts. CHC Discussion Item: South Pas Preservation Policy and Direction This discussion item will cover preservation questions and issues that have recently arisen in South Pasadena, for CHC and public vetting, clarification, and consensus building. This discussion item was prompted by an item introduced at the February CHC meeting by City Councihnember and CHC liaison Rick Schneider. Councilmember Scheider inquired about recent new construction within an eligible historic district that was not forwarded by Staff to the CHC for review. There was concern on the City Council and in the community that the new construction was not compatible in scale, massing, or overall character with the surrounding historic district. The CHC has not yet discussed or reviewed the character of the new construction. The National Park Service Secretary of the Interior's Standards include provisions for adjacent new construction to historic properties that consider overall scale, massing, and compatibility; these Standards, as well as any district-specific design guidelines, would generally inform CHC review of such an in-fill project with an eligible or designated historic district. The discussion will touch upon the following issues, in order to vet CHC and public input and seek consensus on the appropriate path going forward: (l) New construction within eligible and listed historic districts: - In cases involving new construction within an eligible or designated historic district, what is the appropriate process for review and entitlements? (Best practices in preservation call for ensuring that in-fill within historic districts and conservation overlay zones is compatible in scale, massing, and overall architectural character in order to avoid indirect adverse impacts to the setting and feeling of the historic district.) -Should the HP ordinance be updated to reflect CHC consensus for project review of in-fill within eligible and designated historic districts? -In cases where a demolition permit is pulled for a property not included on the inventory (but of age), clarify Staff process and steps for completing a historic resource evaluation (per the updated ordinance) prior to the issuance of a demolition permit. 1 (2) Understanding the Contributing Elements of Historic Districts and Conservation Overlay Zones - Discuss the contributing components of historic districts and conservation districts (in terms of site plan design and features, landscaping and hardscaping, planning elements, secondary buildings and structures) in order to develop a better understanding and context for the review applications for major alterations to contributing features of historic districts. - Historic contributing garages within eligible and designated historic districts have been lost at an increasing rate over the last decade. CHC and the public will discuss the role of historic garages in contributing to overall character and integrity of historic districts. The goal is to vet ideas and reach overall consensus for the CHC approach to vetting permits for demolition or alteration of contributing garages (among other features), in light of recent applications and cases before the CHC and City Council. Please feel free to contact me or Jim if you have any questions. Thanks, Debi 2
