The brick in the front façade has a more finished look than that on the remaining sides and rear of the building. Raised brick blocks trim the window jambs and rise above stepped brick aprons. The front windows are in sets of two with double-hung wood sash; the upper sash is dog-eared. At the first level along the street, three sets of tripartite wood windows and an offset entry with segmental arched tops embellish the building at the sidewalk. The three window sets rest on a continuous solid base of marble with gap at the front door entry. The window units have a three-layer vertical composition, with solid panels at the bottom separated by a ledger, main window with side-lites, and a three-part arched clear transom. The windows are recessed into the walls about a foot, and the brick facings between the windows and above wrap into the windows and provide depth to the façade. The brick facings themselves have a recessed course every sixth brick presenting the illusion of monumental blocks forming the base of the building. The brick courses and the recesses are angled upward, radiating above the windows framing large keystones centered above the headers. The brick walls along the side and rear of the building have recessed wood windows consisting mostly of doubled sets; single double-hung windows can be found at the outer corners and in the recessed light well on the east elevation of the building.

Significance: Theme Commerce and Architecture Area Downtown Berkeley Period of Significance Property Type Residential Applicable Criteria A (1), C (3) (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The Heywood Apartments building, built for Charles D. Heywood, is a City of Berkeley Landmark designated in 2003. The local significance of the building is based on its architecture and its value as a contributing feature to Downtown Berkeley. It is valued because of its association with James Plachek, the architect responsible for the 1917 remodeling, and is considered a distinguished example of early twentieth-century multi- family residential architecture with classical details, particularly its ornate cornice and lower facade. It is also important due to its association with Charles D. Heywood, a merchant and Berkeley mayor. The Heywood Apartments building was constructed just after the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. It is one of a few buildings today that signify the transition of the early Berkeley downtown from a mostly wooden-built commercial setting to the masonry and concrete “fireproof” environment that began to evolve during the early twentieth century. The site had a proximity to the railway terminus on Shattuck Avenue, and provided both commercial and residential support to the university population. (Continued on next page) B11.

  • Ancient Greek the Studiowith Architecture, Pottery & Sculpture ART HIST RY KIDS
    Ancient Greek The Studiowith Architecture, Pottery & Sculpture ART HIST RY KIDS LET’S LOOK AGAIN It’s best to study architecture when you can actually visit the places and see things up close. It’s fun to look at things up high and down low... to see things from lots of different perspectives. Since we are looking at photographs of the architecture, we’ll need to pay especially close attention to what we see in the pictures. Here are a few different angles from the three build- ings we’re learning about this month. Do you notice anything new? Architecture offers us so much to look at and learn about. We’ll be focusing on one thing this week: columns. Make sure to look at the columns in each building, then write down or chat about your observations.

The word arete is often used when art historians talk about Ancient Greek art and architecture, and it means: excellence.

  • Evidence for West Greek Influence on Mainland Greek Roof Construction and the Creation of the Truss in the Archaic Period
    EVIDENCE FOR WEST GREEK INFLUENCE ON MAINLAND GREEK ROOF CONSTRUCTION AND THE CREATION OF THE TRUSS IN THE ARCHAIC PERIOD T HE DETERMINATION OF REGIONAL STYLES is a recognized part of Greek archi- tectural studies.1 Such discussionshave focused on ground plans, use of refinements,or ways in which architects solved specific problems common to all buildings.2 This study introduces roof design as another means of recognizing regional building practices, as expressed in the form and function of the geison. Because of the geison's position at the top of the entablature and the edge of the roof geison design reflects both the technical and the decorative aspects of the building and provides positive evidence concerning roof construction. Since wood from ancient Greek buildings is not commonly preserved, the woodwork of the ceiling and roof must be reconstructed from indirect evidence, such as the cuttings in stone members of the entablature and tympanum. In particular,the rafter beams generally came into contact with the lateral geison3 (Fig. 1). The most thorough study of this subject is Trevor Hodge's book, The Woodworkof GreekRoofs (1960). On the basis of his own survey of extant geison blocks, Hodge recognized two basic forms, the flat- topped and the sloping-topped geison, each with severalsubtypes. But while Hodge acknowledged the diversity of forms, he maintained that the distribution of types of geison blocks revealed no chronological or geographical pattern.4 The present study reexamines preserved geison forms from the Greek mainland and Sicily and brings new observations to bear on two specific areas of Greek architecture:the identificationof a West Greek style of roof design and the role of Sicilian architectsin the creation of a tie-beam truss.

  • Two Temples of Commodus at Corinth
    TWO TEMPLESOF COMMODUS AT CORINTH The two temples to be discussed here are situated in the middle of the row of foundations across the West Terrace of the lower Corinthian Agora,' and have hitherto been known as Temples H and J (see planA.J.A., XLIII, 1939, p. 256, fig. 1). They were almost completely cleared in the spring of 1935, and are described briefly in the excavation report of that year; 2 the clearing was completed in 1938, and during the same campaign a great number of architectural members belonging to the two structures were brought to light.3 The remains of the two buildings, in situ (Figs. 1, 2, 3),4 consist of the concrete beddings for the walls, and the cores intended to support the heavy floors, both made of rubble-concrete, a few blocks of poros from the foundation courses along the western ends and four blocks along the northern wall of Temple J. The front part of the foundations has been considerably cut up by mediaeval construction, including tombs; and other mediaeval excavations have to some extent mutilated even the rubble- concrete in the other parts of the building. However, this destruction is not serious except in the front, where it is difficult, if not impossible, to determine the original edges of the structures, and hence the total length. But in general the foundation masses cover an area approximately 16.50 m. square. Although there are obviously two buildings represented. the concrete of one is poured against that of the other so tightly that it has been impossible to trace a line of distinction.

  • No Stone Left Unturned Preliminary/Interim Rapport of the Doctoral Thesis of Jesper Vestergaard Jensen, Per November 2020
    No stone left unturned Preliminary/interim rapport of the doctoral thesis of Jesper Vestergaard Jensen, per November 2020 The working title of the thesis is 'Building decor on the Forum of Ostia: For the allocation and reconstruction of the marble furnishing elements of the forum buildings in their original context', and is focused on the vast amounts of architectural marble fragment uncovered by the Ostia Forum Project (OFP) in the period between 2010-2019. As the title suggests the main aim of the subject is to try and ascertain the original context of these fragments, and thereby contribute to our overall knowledge of the buildings surrounding the Forum of Ostia. I began my work in February 2020, but due to the corona pandemic and the necessary restrictions it imposed, the conditions for research has been far from ideal. This includes having to wait a long time before being able to see the material firsthand as well as having restricted access to literature. However, I have managed to reach some very preliminary results based on the available literature, the existing photographic material from the previous campaigns of the OFP, and a 3-week research campaign in the late summer of 20201. These results mainly consist of attributing fragments with some of the major forum buildings as well as identifying fragments which could prove to be of major interest going forward. The material The marble fragments in question were found in several deposits/piles around the area of the forum and were explored by the OFP between 2014-2019. The majority of these deposits date to the excavations of the forum of the late 19th and early 20th century, where excavated marble fragments were stored in these deposits for later study, which in most cases never happened.
