The subject property is significant under Criterion B: Person, for its association with noted mathematician and humanist, Jacob Bronowski. The home was his primary residence during the later years of his life, but important aspects of his career occurred during this period. The residence has some of the character defining features of the 20th Century Modern International style, but it is not a good example of that style sufficient to be deemed architecturally significant under Criterion C: Architecture. The building is not considered to be a good example of the work of Russell Forester under Criterion D. Better examples of his design philosophy exist in La Jolla and the San Diego area. The building does not meet the criteria for significance under any of the other criteria. See the Continuation Sheets for further significance discussion.

P3a. Building Description

The resource is a one-story, basically rectangular shaped, asymmetrical, 20th Century Modern, International style, single family residence. The structure is located on a large lot in an upscale residential community in La Jolla. The building is sited on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The front portion of the property contains a long driveway leading to the structure but little formal landscaping. The building has a concrete foundation, stucco exterior and a flat roof.

East Fa~ade

The east fa~ade contains the main entrance to the structure and faces the street. The fa~ade is painted stucco. The dominant feature of the facades is a painted wood framework that is projected one foot from the wall and attached to the structure. The framework is a regular series of vertical posts attached to a horizontal section that stretches across the fa~ade at the edge of the roofline. This framework steps forward from the main mass of the building, leaving a space between it and the wall of the house. The framework is attached to the building by curved brackets. This pattern is repeated on the east, south and north facades of the residence, where in some parts it is in relief, so that the framework is completely attached to the face of the stucco. The west fa!;ade contains this detailing but in a slightly different format. The main entra nee is recessed into the main mass of the structure, at the center of this facade and includes a pair of painted wood doors. No other openings occur on this fac;ade.

South Fac;ade

The south fac;ade contains the entrance to the garage. The two-car garage is part of the overall structure and does not stand alone. The garage has a double, wood lift-up style door with vertical incised detailing. The rest of the fac;ade is blank with no door or window openings. The wood framework detailing is present along the length of the fa~ade, in some parts projected about one foot as on the west fac;ade, and in other parts fully attached in an ornamental relief.

West Fac;ade

The west fa~ade has the most interesting design elements of the structure. The entire west fac;ade contains large walls of floor to ceiling windows that provide unobstructed views to the Pacific Ocean. The fa~ade contains two bays that project forward from the main mass of the structure, around a central open terrace. Large terraces surround the rear fac;ade, providing outdoor living space. The terraces include a free~standing wood framework that matches the framework detailing on the other three facades. This framework extends across the length of the rear fac;ade, reaching from the south projecting bay, across the open recessed space, and terminating at the north end of the building. The terraces and rear area of the house face the ocean and planted garden areas.

The interior of the home can be viewed from the rear fa!;ade only. The interior has sparse detailing and features smooth surfaces, paneled wood walls and built-in bookcases.

North Fa~ade

The north fac;ade is a blank wall with no window or door openings. The wall is painted stucco and includes the wood framework detailing as the only decorative element on the otherwise blank fac;ade, in some parts this framework is projected about one foot as on the west fac;ade, and in other parts fully attached.

Property History

Background Of The La Jolla Area

The village of La Jolla began in the 1880s during the "boom" period of San Diego's history as a small coastal community. Prior to 1887, there was no development of the land on that is now referred to as La Jolla, it was known as a popular picnic and bathing attraction for residents and visitors to San Diego. One of the first Ia nd tracts in the a rea was named La Jolla Park in 1887. This tract contained a road that ran from the present downtown La Jolla area out along Torrey Pines Road to the intersection of Ardath Road.

In 1887, hundreds of ships carrying immigrants inundated San Diego harbor. Similarly, the Santa Fe railroad line brought passengers to San Diego. Those who first purchased property in La Jolla came directly or indirectly from or through San Diego. People slowly moved into the beautiful seaside area to enjoy the health benefits of the climate and live a rural lifestyle along the cliffs and beaches of La Jolla.

Prior to 1887, portions of Mexican land grants in and around San Diego had been sold, divided, and resold. The first sale of Pueblo land owned by the City of San Diego, that included land now referred to a La Jolla, went to Samuel Sizer on February 27, 1869, specified as Pueblo lot #1261. It sold for $1.25 an acre, and Sizer purchased 80 acres. Between 1869 and 1887, approximately 14 other purchasers bought La Jolla land, culminating with the Pacific Coast Land Bureau's survey and subdivision of La Jolla for new development. Such property was advertised for sale at the Land Auction on April 30, 1887. By the turn of the century, the small community of La Jolla totaled approximately 350 residents and had approximately 100 buildings.

Between 1902 and 1920, the community of La Jolla began to experience sophisticated growth. In 1902, La Jolla held its first election. In 1907, La Jolla's first bank, the Southern Trust Savings Bank, was established. In 1908, the "Red Devil" train, a gas engine, began serving La Jolla, and in 1909, natural gas was made available. Pioneering members of the community included Ellen Browning Scripps, and other local entrepreneurs.

Despite all this documented change, in 1910, La Jolla was still a community of dirt roads without electricity (electricity was made available in 1911). La Jolla's population at this time was approximately 850, more than double its 1900 figure. In 1912, motion pictures were shown in La Jolla for the first time, and in 1913, the La Jolla Journal, later renamed the La Jolla light, came into existence. In 1918, the first paving of La Jolla occurred on Prospect Street. Paving the road from La Jolla to San Diego was ultimately completed in 1920.

After the First World War, the San Diego economy began to experience growth and development. La Jolla real estate increased in demand and value from 1920 until the unpredicted real estate bust between 1925 and 1926. Nonetheless, La Jolla continued to grow and expand as a community. Numerous speculative real estate tracts were laid out in the general La Jolla area. These included La Jolla Hermosa and the Barber tract in the south, the Muirlands on the western slopes of Mt. Soledad, and the northeastern La Jolla Shores tract.

Property History continued

The stock market crash of 1929 ushered in the Great Depression of the 1930s and few speculative ventures succeeded during this time. little construction took place in the La Jolla area during these difficult years. Those individuals whose investments had not been devalued by the nation's crisis, however, were able to afford building projects. Federal and State government assistance and low material costs encouraged some people to venture out and risk investing in construction during the Depression. Real estate investors sought to increase their sales by building charming "Spanish" style homes that would attract buyers who desired a home in a California style. Combined with modern features and up-to-date appliances and conveniences, there was limited market for these homes, primarily available to those who had not become financially insolvent due to the Depression.

The country was brought out of the Great Depression by the development of the economy during the Second World War and the subsequent post-war prosperity. When the war ended, many war-time servicemen and workers relocated to La Jolla. Between 1946 and 1955, new subdivisions in La Jolla sprang up. At the end of the 1940s, the population of La Jolla was approximately 8,500. Expansion was directed south toward Pacific Beach, east up the La Jolla Hills, and north to the La Jolla Shores area.

Keeping pace with the economy, the development of La Jolla continued to grow, slowly but steadily. New highways began to crisscross the area, allowing greater business connections with the coastal community and the larger San Diego business infrastructure. These new highways drew traffic away from the coastal sections, leaving them quiet, peaceful and ultimately more desirable as residential areas.

The University of California, San Diego was constructed in the early 1960s. The development of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Salk Institute, among others, became important additions to the local scientific community, conducting research applicable globally. The area in the La Jolla Farms subdivision facing the ocean became an enclave for persons associated with the University, Scripps, Salk and the other scientific centers in La Jolla.

Jacob Bronowski

Jacob Bronowski (1908-1974) was a Polish-born mathematician and humanist and a naturalized British citizen. He was born in Lodz, Poland in 1908, one of three children of Abram and Celia Bronowski. During the Russian occupation of Poland in World War I, the family moved to Germany. When he was 12, the Bronowski family moved to London, England. Bronowski won a mathematics scholarship to Jesus College, Cambridge. He was a Wrangler {First Class) in Part I of the mathematical tripes in 1928 and Senior in Part II of the mathematical tripos in 1930. In 1933 he became a British citizen and received his Ph. D. from the University of Cambridge in 1933. In 1941, he married Rita Cobblentz, a sculptor, and the couple became the parents of four daughters. He taught mathematics at University College, Hull, until1942 when he entered the service of the British Government to undertake such assignments as the evaluation of the bomb damage and the development of operational research methods. As a scientific deputy to the British Chiefs of Staff Mission to Japan in 1945, he wrote the classical British Report: "The Effects of the Atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki." Dr. Bronowski served as head of projects with UNESCO in 1948 and in 1953 came to the United States as Carnegie Visiting Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1950 he became Director of Great Britain's Coal Research Establishment and, later, Director·General of Process Development in the National Coal Board. His work in recent years has been in the philosophy of science and with the place which science should occupy in a modern culture. This problem is discussed in his book The Common Sense of Science. It is also the theme of a series of lectures published under the title Science and Human Values. His other books include: William Blake: A Man Without a Mask and The Western Intellectual Tradition (co-author).

Property History continued

In the 1950s, Bronowski began his career as a broadcaster, frequently appearing on the BBC program, The Brains Trust. In the early 1960s, he presented a series for BBC television called Insight. His last major project was to write and narrate the BBC television series The Ascent of Man. The series was broadcast in Britain in 1973 and also published in book form in that year. The series appeared on U.S. television in 1974.

In 1964, Jacob Bronowski and his wife and their two youngest children moved to San Diego. He had been recruited by Jonas Salk to be one of the founding fellows of the Salk Institute of Biological Sciences. At the time of his death in 1974, he was a Research Professor and Fellow at the Salk Institute and Director of the Council for Biology in Human Affairs there. During this time his field of research was 'human specificity', that is, the analysis of those functions which characterize man and make him unique among animal species.

He published the following seventeen books during his career: The Poet's Defence (1939), William Blake: A Man Without a Mask (1943, The Common Sense of Science (1951), The Face of Violence (1954), Science and Human Values (1956, rev 1965), William Blake: The Penguin Poets Series (1958), The Western Intellectual Tradition, From Leonardo to Hegel (1960)- with Bruce Mazlish, Biography of an Atom (1963)- with Millicent Selsam, (1964), The Identity of Man (1965}, Nature and Knowledge: The Philosophy of Contemporary Science (1969), William Blake and the Age of Revolution (1965, rev 1972), The Ascent of Man (1974), A Sense of the Future (1977}, Magic, Science & Civilization (1978), The Origins of Knowledge and Imagination (1978), The Visionary Eye: Essays in the Arts, Literature and Science (1979}- edited by Piero Ariotti and Rita Bronowski.

Rita Bronowski

The following information was provided by the daughter, Clare Bronowski. During the time of her residence at the home, and until her death in 2010, Rita Bronowski served as a Trustee of the La Jolla Playhouse, and was involved in the revitalization of the La Jolla Playhouse. She was also known as a sculptor, but her serious artistic work was done in Britain and she did not continue to sculpt at this property. For the most part, the Bronowskis used the home for social gatherings and typical family living purposes. Designation of the home for its association with her mother would not, in her opinion, be warranted.

The International Style of Modern Architecture

The International Style was identified by Walter Gropius in lnternationale Architektur (1924), and then further defined in The International Style (1932), a book by Henry-Russell Hitchcock and Philip Johnson. The purpose of this book was to record the 1932 International Exhibition of Modern Architecture at the New York Museum of Modern Art. This volume has become a reference for the origins and principles of the International Style.

Important examples of the International Style include The Bauhaus {1925-26) in Dessau, Germany by Walter Gropius and the Villa Savoye (1929-30), Poissy-sur-Seine, France by Le Corbusier.

The definition of the International Style is to find a new style that is not a revival or an "imposed" style, which will then be recognizable throughout the world as valid, since it will follow basic rules of composition.

"This contemporary style, which exists throughout the world, is unified and inclusive, not fragmentary and contradictory like so much of the production of the first generation of this century." {The International Style: 35)

The goal is to create a truly lnternationa I Style that is understood and appreciated by people from any part of the world. This will create the essential architecture that serves the common needs of all humanity, without regional styles or interpretation.

To achieve this International Style, there are three principles that must be followed:

• First Principle: Architecture as Volume o The architecture is most importantly the volume created, rather than the physical forms that enclose the volume. o The architect must be concerned with and emphasize the design, composition, and uses of the spaces that are created. Further, the relation between spaces affects their use, comfort, circulation, and the overall appreciation of the quality of the spaces and therefore the overall composition of the structure. o The structural mechanics of enclosure are important, but they can no longer be used to define the volumes that will be seen in this style. The freedom of the space from the surrounding structure is seen in the Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier. o By doing this, the International Style will create spaces that have a quality that is recognized by a viewer from any part of the world, without requiring an understanding of a local style or decoration (ornament}.

• Second Principle: Concerning Regularity o The use of regular forms and elements can be beneficial on one hand and a tedious repetition on the other. Good architecture will embrace the economies and scale that regular elements of structure and other proportioning elements will provide, and will avoid monotony and small elements that are irrelevant to the appreciation of the space. o These restrictions include the 1Style' elements that do not serve any structural function. o Expression of structure is the most common area where regularity is needed. • Structural elements will be presented in their structural location and configuration, and in proportion to the forces acting upon them, and will not be hidden beneath finishes or stylistic elements. • This is frequently called an 'honest' or 1Simple' presentation of the structure, as the elements presented are only those that are functioning for their intended structural purpose, in the location of the structural force, and acting in alignment with the actual forces. • Application of decoration (ornament) is the opposite of this expression, as it clouds the perception of the structure. o The various other elements of the architecture will be placed in a well-considered location that is both appropriate for the overall design, balance, and proportion of the entire composition. Each of these various elements will also be placed in a location in which their size and mass are appropriate. o When all elements are expressing their purpose and their function in the larger structure, they are also achieving an economy and simplicity of composition that is both elegant and functional.

Property History continued

• Third Principle: Avoidance of Applied Decoration (Ornament) o More than any other facet of architecture, the history of style is more a history of applied decoration. • "The revived 'styles' were but a decorative garment to architecture, not the interior principles according to which it lived and grew." {The International Style: 34) o Various regions have developed their own styles, which are agreed methods by which decoration and ornament are to be applied. • These decoration and ornament are the opposite of the first two principles of 'Architecture as Volume' and the essential application of 'Regularity'. o If the International Style is to be comprehensible and usable by any visitor or user from any part of the world, the Ia nguage of the style must transcend local application of styles and decoration. o lightening of mass is part of this principle • It is desired to achieve an economical and direct use of elements, both to support the structure and to define the spaces within the structure. • Like the principle of the honest structure, this principle requires that these other building elements will be in proportion to their required use and need, and similarly located with careful consideration of the overall composition and the required uses. • The lightening of the mass is at first an economy of materials and form, and is sought to achieve these economies as well as to provide for the optimum space. o In this way, the economy of the physical definitions of the space achieves both a true definition of the spaces that the users occupy, and the appearance and definition of the space is an ideal as well.

Summary:

In a II of these three principles, the common themes are the understanding and appreciation of this new architecture by peoples from all parts of the world. Local features like ornament, decoration, and local interpretations of style are contrary to this notion, and will interfere with the appreciation of a space by a person from another part of the world.

The first appreciation is of the architectural volume that is created, then it is defined by its functioning elements such as the structure, and the final com position is legible and understandable by a viewer from any part of the world: this is the International Style.

Using the above principles, it is clear that the International Style rejects ornament (referred to as decoration in the book referenced above), to a greater degree than any other style, before or since. Applied ornament will interfere with the appreciation of the Volume and will make the perception of the structure more difficult. Further, applied ornament or decoration are a local or regiona I construct of style, and would greatly confound the appreciation of the architecture by any viewer from a different part of the world.

Russell Forester

The following information regarding Russell Forester and his career was taken from SanDiegoModern.com.

Arriving from Salmon, Idaho at age 5 (in 1925), Russell went on to graduate from La Jolla High School in 1938. Russell served in the Army Corps of Engineers {1943-46) where he worked as a draftsman with noted San Diego architect Lloyd Ruocco and sketched in his free time away from the drafting table.

Property History continued

Eleanor Forester (born December 11, 1924, to Eva Lucille Puckett and George Albert Hedenberg) moved to San Diego with her mother and stepfather, Kenneth J. Darrell, in 1939. After graduating from Hoover High School she worked as a draftsman for Concrete Shipyards in San Diego designing barges for the war effort. At Concrete Shipyards, she met her future husband, Russell Isley Forester. They immediately hit it off, forcing the head of the draftsmen, Lloyd Ruocco, to move their desks apart since Russell spent too much time turning around to talk to her.

After the war, Eleanor and Russell married on April13, 1946, in La Jolla. In 1948 Russell opened his first office as a freelance architectural designer. Formal study began at the urging of lloyd Ruocco in 1950 at the Institute of Design (later liT) in Chicago where Mies VanDer Rohe was spreading the International Style gospel. The young couple returned to San Diego when Russell's mother became very ill.

Eleanor built three houses with Russell (they divorced after 20 years of marriage); their first house at 724 Rushville Street in April1948, a house on Hillside Drive in 1952 and a spec house in the upper Shores area in the early 1960s. Eleanor and Russell spent a year in Spain in 1955-56 while he 'worked for a firm of engineers and architects on U.S. bases in Spain' as designer and supervising architect. After two years he returned stateside 'as a designer on the Los Angeles airport for the firm Pereira and Luckman.'

Forester's wife, Eleanor was an accomplished and successful interior designer, based in downtown La Jolla. Her work included both commercial as well as residential jobs.

Russell opened his first office at 633 Pearl Street at the time his Rushville Street home was chosen by a distinguished jury as one of the top residences in the United States for Progressive Architecture magazine. Forester's second home at 7595 Hillside Drive was 'displayed in an international architecture exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1952. By the time he obtained his architectural license in 1960, Russell had already completed a wealth of modernist structures including his second home at 7595 Hillside Drive in La Jolla.

Known for not compromising his designs for clients, Russell was among the first wave of practicing architects to push Mies VanDer Rohe's brand of steel & glass modernism on commercial and residential clients across San Diego. From his La Jolla practice Mr. Forester is credited with many high profile commissions for local art patrons lynn and Danah Fayman as well as restaurateurs like Bob Peterson. For Peterson (Foodmaker CEO), Russell put Miesian modernism into pop culture by designing the first Jack in the Box restaurant in 1951. As Jack in the Box "Machines for dispensing food" (Forester, 2001) grew to well over 200 drive-thrus inside 20 years, Peterson would also have Russell design the Family Tree, a more elegant setting for dining in San Diego, as well as his personal residence.

In 1962, San Diego & Point described his artwork as arresting, constructivist, severe, functionalist, and mainstream all in the same article. Of the second home he designed for the Russell family, the magazine stated "the house .... has a quiet elegance and air of privacy. The feeling, both inside and out, is one of discipline without rigidity, elegance without opulence."

"Had it been up to him, he would have gone directly into the arts (rather than architecture). He liked the Bauhaus ideology of diverse disciplines,'' remarked widow Christine Forester. "Had he been an artist since his 20s he may have not been as productive. Russell was often discouraged from pursuing his art. By the time he devoted himself full-time to art in his 50s, there was a sense of urgency. By this time his hand was very secure and there was little waste and few mistakes," said Mrs. Forester.

Russell Forester spent three decades juggling his passion and vision for fine arts and architecture only to give up the latter for the former in 1976. With the aid of his second wife and architectural firm partner, Christine, Russell began his full-time career as a painter and sculptor when many of his contemporaries were retiring or at least retiring their modernist principles for safer ground.

Russell Forester defined architecture as problem solving.

From his Philosophy of Practice:

We believe that good architecture grows out of a thoughtful, direct and imaginative approach to each owner's individual problem. Our unique systems approach to the total project from the feasibility studies through design and finished construction gives us an economic and functional solution. Our understanding of the complexity of each client's problems and the professional and artful solution to his needs is our concern. In our practice all functions (architecture, feasibility studies, planning, interiors, color or graphics) are based on a systems approach to the total concept. We know the broad scope ofthinking and the individual talent that is brought to bear on each commission. It is unsurpassed.

We are entering a new age of building. An age in which a new set of ideas is taking hold. These ideas are not solely technological in nature: they are also philosophical. Relating first to larger questions of environmental planning and then concern for the isolated technical details.

Russell Forester's career melding art and architecture was honored by his unusual FAIA recognition. Rather than his career of progressive building designs being honored, Mr. Forester was recognized by his AlA colleagues for his contribution to art and architecture aesthetics. Russell believed the central tenet to integrity of design was his residential client's lifestyle. Some of his clients would later become patrons of his artwork- filling their Forester-designed homes with Forester-designed artwork. Clients like Lloyd Russell, Danah Fayman and Bob Peterson commissioned Russell time and again. Clients may have understood him better than his colleagues in architecture.

Russell's architectural designs varied in material and style over the decades (1948-1976) while always retaining central design principles- the problems the client needed solving; and how the whole project was vastly more than the sum of its parts. Clients of Russell Forester I Associates Inc. grew to expect a variety of things, central to which was his unquestionable integrity of his designs, passion and vision.

architectural career, San Diego's mid-century design aesthetic was comprised of a "lack of homogeneity in materials and approach to reflecting the region. People continued to come (to San Diego) from other elsewhere and clients wanted styles (reminding them of) from where they were from, "Mrs. Forester summarized. She continued, 11He was a brilliant man, extremely talented, cut to the chase, detail oriented, never lost track of detail within content/context of project, whole was definitely the sum of the details."

Summary of Property History

The unimproved property was purchased by Jacob and Rita Bronowski in 1963. The Bronowskis hired San Diego architect Russell Forester to design a home for them. The home was designed in the 20th Century International Style but was a poor example of that style as discussed below in this Report. It remained in the Bronowski family from construction in 1963 until its recent sale to the Roberts family.

810. Significance Evaluations

Integrity

In addition to determining the significance of a property under local, state and federal criteria, it is necessary to assess whether the property has integrity. Integrity is the ability of a property to convey and maintain its significance. A property must not only be shown to be significant under the established criteria, it must also have integrity. In order to retain historic integrity, a property must possess several, and usually most, of the seven key aspects of integrity, which are location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association.

Application of the City's Guidelines for finding Integrity:

According to the City's Guidelines for the Application of the Historical Resources Board Designation Criteria, 1 there are two important principles for understanding Integrity:

1. Integrity is the authenticity of a historical resource's physical integrity clearly indicated by the retention of characteristics that existed during the resource's period of significance.

Integrity continued

2. Integrity relates to the presence or absence of historic materials and character defining features.

As indicated in Section 86 Alterations above, this building was originally constructed as a single family residence in 1963 by Jacob and Rita Bronowski. The building was designed by Russell Forester in the International style. The building has not been altered in any substantive way and has retained its original design concepts as created by Russell Forester.

Application of the seven aspects of integrity:

Location: Location is the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred. The building remains at its original location.

Design: Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property. The building retains the main features of its original form, plan, space, structure and International style.

Setting: Setting is the physical environment of a historic property. As indicated by aerial photographs, the site and the surrounding neighborhood were dominated by single family residences. The area is still a neighborhood of single family homes, set on large, heavily landscaped lots with ocean views. The property maintains its historic physical environment and, therefore, its setting.

Materials: Materials are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property. While the integrity of the original materials has not been reduced by any major alterations or changes, the wood, stucco and concrete surfaces have deteriorated.

Workmanship: Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory. The quality of the original workmanship has been maintained from the original construction.

Feeling: Feeling is a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. The single family residence has maintained the original feeling of the property and its expression of the aesthetic and historic elements.

Association: Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property. The property has been determined to be directly linked to an important historic person in local, state or national history, therefore, it has an associative element. The property was the home of Jacob Bronowski, noted mathematician and humanist.

Integrity Conclusion: Of the seven aspects of integrity, the building has retained all seven.

Application of the San Diego Historical Resources Board Designation Criteria

According to the City of San Diego Land Development Code, Historical Resource Guidelines (Adopted September 28, 1999; Amended June 6, 2000; April 30, 2001), a building, structure, sign, interior element and fixture, feature, site, place, district, area or object may be designated as historic by the City of San Diego Historical Resources Board if it meets any of the following criteria.

Application of Designation Criteria continued

Criterion A: Community Development: If it exemplifies or reflects special elements of a City's, a community's or a neighborhood's historical, archaeological, cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, landscaping or architectural development. (Emphasis added.)

No historical evidence was identified that would support the determination that the Property exemplifies or reflects special elements of La Jolla's historical, archaeological, cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, landscaping or architectural development as those determinations are to be made under the Guidelines for the Application of Historical Resources Boord Designation Criteria, as follows:

• Historical development: The subject property does not exemplify or reflect a special or unique aspect of the City's, the community's or the La Jolla Farms area's genera I historica I development. • Archaeological development: The subject property does not exemplify archaeological development through sub-surface deposits or associated surface features. • Cultural development: The subject property does not exemplify or reflect development that is associated with a group of people linked together by shared values, beliefs, and historical associations, nor is it associated with significant achievement in the visual and fine arts, or any of the disciplines that are commonly associated with public and private institutions of higher learning and/or academic inquiry. • Social development: The subject property does not exemplify or reflect development that is associated with relations and interactions with others. • Economic development: The subject property does not exemplify or reflect development associated with the local, regional, state or national economy or economics, including manufacturing, labor and agriculture, maritime and transportation industries. • Political development: The subject property does not exemplify or reflect development associated with politics or the political atmosphere in any manner. • Aesthetic development: The subject property does not exemplify or reflect development associated with an artistic arrangement in theory or practice. • Engineering development: The subject property does not exemplify or reflect development associated with engineering, such as professionally applied standards or design ingenuity within engineering disciplines. • Landscape Development: The subject property does not exemplify or reflect development associated with garden and park design, subdivision design, or ecosystem/habitat restoration. • Architectural Development: The subject property does not exemplify or reflect development associated with the city's built-environment, especially that designed and constructed by non-architects, including real estate developers, contractors, and others associated with the building industry.

As further explained in the Designation Guidelines, special elements of development refer to a resource that is distinct among other examples of its kind or that surpasses the usual in significance. The subject property has neither quality. Therefore, it is not eligible for designation under Criterion A.

Criterion 8: Person: Is identified with persons or events significant in local, state, or national history;

Historical evidence was identified that would support the determination that the Property was identified or associated with persons significant in local, state or national history.

Application of Designation Criteria continued mathematician and humanist Jacob Bronowski, whose career and works are discussed more extensively in the Property History section above.

• The subject property is not significant under Criterion B: Event for its association with a significant event or events in the history of San Diego, the state or the nation. • The subject property is significant under Criterion B: Person for its association with Jacob Bronowski, a person who has made demonstrable achievements and contributions to the history of San Diego, the state, and the nation. • While the subject property was not associated with Dr. Bronowski during the primary period when his significant achievements and contributions occurred, properties associated with the person's later years may qualify for recognition under this Criterion if these later activities were significant and if no properties from the person's productive years survive elsewhere. • Overall, the productive period of his life may be considered to run from time he received his Doctorate and published his first article (1933) to his death (1974) at the age of 66. • This home was the primary residence of Jacob Bronowski during the last nine years of his life when he was associated with the Salk Institute as a Research Professor and Fellow of the Salk Institute, and Director of the Council for Biology in Human Affairs there. • Of the seventeen books that he published, six books were published during his time at the house, of which one was a revision of a book previously published on William Blake, and two of which were compilations of lectures and essays. Various lectures and essays were prepared and published during this time as well. • During this time, he worked on the critically-acclaimed BBC series The Ascent of Man (1973), an account of science, art, and philosophy in human history. • According to his family, no other properties from his productive years survive elsewhere.

To summarize the contributions of this prolific writer and thinker at Salk Institute it could be said that he had a long and distinguished career in which he lectured and published, including books on a variety of subjects, that this career extended over 41 years, and that the last quarter of that time, while at the Salk Institute and while working on the acclaimed Ascent of Man television special, he lived at the house at 9438 La Jolla Farms Road. The property is clearly associated with a person significant in local, state, national and international history and is therefore significant under Criterion B.

Criterion C: Architecture: Embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of construction or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or 20th Century craftsmanship;

The subject property located at 9438 La Jolla Farms Road, San Diego, CA 92037 was identified as having been constructed in the 20th Century International Style and the building was evaluated as an example of this style.

According to the San Diego Modernism Historic Context Statement, the International style was a major world-wide architectural trend of the 1920s and 30s and reflects the formative decades of Modernism prior to World War II. The style quickly migrated to the United States as architects from Europe fled prior to World War II. The International style is characterized by radical simplification of form and a complete rejection of ornament. Common features of the International style architecture include square and rectangular building footprints, simple cubic or extruded rectangular State of California-The Resources Agency Primary# ____ DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# _____ RESIDENCE, STRUCTURE, AND OBJECT RECORD NRHP Status Code _ill

Application of Designation Criteria continued forms, horizontal bands of windows, and strong right angles. Predominant building materials include concrete, smooth stucco, brick and glass. The Primary character-defining features of the International Style are flat roofs, lack of applied ornament, horizontal bands of flush windows and asymmetrical facades. The Secondary character-defining features of the style are square corners, common exterior materials including concrete, brick and stucco, steel sash windows and corner windows. (Context Statement: 58-59}

1 • The subject property is not a good example of 20 h Century International Style residential development in La Jolla from the 1960s because the primary fa~ade facing the street is dominated by an orthogonal frame that is clearly in contradiction to the International Style, as it is a purely ornamental element. • The primary fa~ade facing the street is composed of two blank walls separated by the entrance to the house. This simplistic approach is not consistent with the International Style, which would have provided a counterpoint of extensive glass bands, variations in materials, and projecting structural elements. • Further, a more mature example of the International Style would have these elements composed in a clearly asymmetrical way. • Other features of the house are greatly simplified, as the roof line is minimally detailed and limited in the composition, and the structural elements are not exposed or expressed in the interior or exterior of the building. • The subject property is an undistinguished and limited example of the International Style.

According to The International Style, the architecture is most importantly the volume created rather than the physical forms that enclose the volume and the style will create spaces that have a quality that is recognized by a viewer from any part of the world, without regard to an understanding of a local style or decoration. Applied ornament will interfere with the appreciation of the volume and will make the perception of the structure more difficult.

• In the subject property, it is noted that the exterior fa~ade facing the street is composed of two blank walls, symmetrically balanced around the entrance element, with an orthogonal frame that crosses the entire fa~ade. This orthogonal frame serves no structural or space-defining purpose, and it is concluded that this is ornamental. • The International Style rejects ornamentation to a greater degree than any other architectural style, before or since. • The applied ornament interferes with the appreciation of the architectural volume and clouds the perception of the structure itself in direct contradiction with the principles of this style. • The applied ornament also contradicts the intention of the style to create spaces that that have a quality that is recognized by viewers from any part of the world without requiring an understanding of a local style or decoration {ornament). • Although the broad language of Forester's Philosophy of Practice might be interpreted to include this curious ornament, it is clearly not a feature that is to be applied in the International Style, nor is it consistent with other, more mature examples of Forester's work. • The subject property does not possess the distinctive characteristics of the style, type, period or method of the 20th Century International construction and it does not possess indigenous materials or craftsmanship.

Application of Designation Criteria continued

Criterion D: Master Architect: Is representative of the notable work of a master builder, designer, architect, engineer, landscape architect, interior designer, artist, or 20th Century Modern;

Pursuant to the HRB Designation Guidelines, in order to merit designation under this Criterion, the resource must express a particular phase in the development of the master's career, an aspect of his/her work, or a particular theme in their craft. Not all examples of a master's work are eligible only notable examples. The subject property, which has been identified as an example of the International style, was designed by Master Architect Russell Forester but it does not express a particular phase in his career, an aspect of his work or a particular theme of his craft as required by these Guidelines and it is not a notable work.

As noted in the November 2, 201lletter from Forester's friend and contemporary architect, Robert Mosher, FAIAE, the building is not a superior example of the principles of Modern design, it is not one of Forester's more successful projects, and it does not merit designation because of its design. This letter is included in Attachment E.l.

There are many other examples of the work of this master architect that are notable, such as the two more extensively discussed below in this Report:

• 800 Prospect Street in La Jolla, 'Park Prospect Condominiums' (San Diego Historic landmark No. 992), an apartment building that makes a far more masterful use of an orthogonal frame at the exterior, and which is also derivative of a building at Loyola Marymount University, and

• 2323 Camino del Oro in La Jolla, a residence that starts with similar blank walls and a central entrance element, but which uses a far greater range of materials and applies these elements into a more coherent composition in the International Style.

Also included in Attachment E.l to this Report is a diagrammatic map of the San Diego region which identifies the far more successful examples of Russell Forester's work that remain. {Note that this is not a complete exhibit, but is based upon a brief search of www.modernsandiego.com/Forester.)

The following study was prepared by Architect Paul Benton, of Alcorn & Benton Architects, to compare the subject property with three other San Diego examples of Forester's work in the International style.

Forester's work in general adapted the International Style with the slender walls and structural elements, abrupt transitions between interior spaces and transitions from the interior to the exterior that may be marked only by a curtain wall or glass panel, consistent with the spare use of materials. In his more successful projects these were used to define uniform, large, and orthogonal volumes. His work also made use of grand scale elements such as glazing, extensive textures of walls, and the sense that elements were extruded and compact parts of compositions.

The International Style and most of Forester's work provide a sense of structural clarity, in which the various functioning structural elements do more: these structural elements are composed to define interior and exterior spaces; and they provide an aesthetic for the detailing and the overall composition of the structure.

"The International Style is characterized by a radical simplification of form and a complete rejection of ornament. Common features of International Style architecture include square and rectangular building footprints, simple cubic or extruded rectangular forms, horizontal bands of windows, and strong right angles. Predominant building materials include concrete, smooth stucco, brick, and glass." (Page 58)

All buildings in this study and comparison are described as International Style.

9438 La Jolla Farms Road

This house, the subject property, is a one-story, rectangular shaped, single-family residence, set over 100 feet back from the street. The front fa~ade is composed of two rectangular stucco walls, separated by the double­ width entrance door. Across the entire frontage is an "orthogonal frame" which is a description of the way the post and beam elements are all at right angles and are intended to appear as a coherent assembly. This orthogonal frame consists of columns at a regular spacing that support a continuous horizontal beam at the same height as the building, and of the same width as the columns. The white color of this frame contrasts with the gray exterior color of the rest of the house. The distance from the orthogonal frame to the exterior wall of the house varies: it ranges from an applied treatment at most of the north and south elevations, to 12 inches at the remainder of the north and south elevations and the entire east elevation fronting the street, to 6 feet at the west elevation. The orthogonal frame is also composed with radiused fillets at each connection, both where each column meets the overhead beam, and where the braces from the stucco wall connect to the overhead beam. The appearance of this fat;ade is remarkable because of its complete closure from the street, preserving a complete sense of privacy with the exception of the entrance door.

The orthogonal frame may be described as presenting some sense of scale, order, or ornament to the austere exterior walls of the house. The orthogonal frame provides no support to any part of the house, and there are no projecting roof or beam elements from the house that are supported by or connected to the orthogonal frame, the exception to this is the occasional horizontal projection from the wall of the house that goes to the back of the frame; this is where the wall of the house clearly braces the orthogonal frame.

The uniform exterior of the house is a clear definition of the scale of the house, and it provides a sense of privacy. The application of the orthogonal frame clearly serves no structural purpose relating to the support of the house or the exterior walls of the house. The orthogonal frame defines an exterior plane and therefore a volume at the exterior of the house, but that volume varies from about one foot from the exterior wall of the house, to the flat applied surfaces at two sides of the house. The orthogonal frame defines an exterior plane and volume that are extremely small scale and applied ornament, and is not useful to any understanding of the scale or providing a structural or other purpose, and it is therefore concluded that this use of the orthogonal frame is ornament.

Summary of this composition: This building is a poor example of the International Style, as follows:

• Although there is a clear definition of interior and exterior spaces by the use of the exterior wall plane that is broken only by the entrance, this is not developed by other counterpoint elements in the house such as a contrasting material or texture, or the use of expansive glazing.

Application of Designation Criteria continued

• Due to the small scale of the separation of the orthogonal frame from the exterior wall of the house, any definition of an exterior spaces or zone is quite limited, to the point that it serves much more as ornament, rather than the definition of a useful volume. • Detailing of the orthogonal frame is limited to the small radius fillet where the columns meet the beam. There is no projection or surface treatment that defines the frame further. • While an exterior frame is a common element in this style, in this case it is nonstructural, small scale, and serves no structural purpose, and is better described as ornament, which is not at all consistent with this style. • By the simplified definition of interior and exterior spaces by the use of the abrupt transition at the exterior wall plane only.

Consistent with the International Style, however, this building does include:

• Consistent and exclusive use of orthogonal elements and corners in the entire composition, with the one exception at the top of the exterior columns. • Uniform and regular frames at all exterior walls.

800 Prospect Street

This 5-story building is composed of flat exterior walls at a II sides that are recessed from the exterior building to allow for the width of the exterior balconies. The central occupied core is a uniform vertically-extruded shape, with uniform windows and recesses at all levels. The balconies have uniform depth, extending from the core to a uniform row of exterior columns that, with the uniform rows of balcony edges, define an outer vertical pia ne. The flat roof plane extends away from the enclosed building wall beyond meet the outer plane of the balconies. The primary com position here is the centra I extruded solid shape of the building, with the perimeter volume defined by the rigid outer plane of the balconies and outer columns, all in an orthogonal composition.

The outer edge of the balconies is supported by slender steel columns, minimally detailed, which extend from the ground level to the roof plane. These columns continue uniformly past all levels, and at the top level they meet the extended roof plane. At this level the columns expand to circular arcs in all four directions to touch the extended roof at their uppermost tangent. A photograph of this property is included in Attachment E.l.

Summary of this composition: This building exemplifies the International Style, as follows:

• By the clear definition of interior and exterior spaces by the use of two exterior wall planes, one of which is the solid and uniformly extruded central core, and the second of which is quite open, defined by the uniform outer edges of the balconies with the columns. • By the further definition of the exterior balcony spaces as the zone between these inner and outer planes. • By the use of uniform bands of glazing at all sides of the core. • By the use of the columns for structural support of the balconies. • By the transformation of the column supports as they reach to top roof plane. The minimal arcs at the top of each column are an ornament that is in scale with the overall composition, connecting the structural columns and recalling the capita Is of traditional columns.

• By the consistent and exclusive use of orthogonal elements and corners in the entire composition, with the one exception at the top of the exterior columns.

This example at 800 Prospect Street is a far more detailed and coherent presentation of the principles of the International Style than the house at 9438 La Jolla Farms Road, through the masterful gradation in the use of the perimeter columns, both to define a usable exterior volume and to provide for the variations in structural support of the various elements of the building.

One Derivation of the Orthogonal Framework

The orthogonal framework speaks first of the simplest form of construction, seen in the post-and-beam systems that are commonly used and are visible in other projects by Russell Forester.

It is interesting to note that, at this time, there were other examples where orthogonal frameworks were used, and a case where the columns have a similar arc. The Edward Foley Center (1963) at Loyola Marymount University by Edward Durell Stone, is similar to 800 Prospect Street but a much more simple composition. A photograph of this property is included in Attachment E.l.

The heritage of both 800 Prospect Street and, to a much lesser degree 9438 La Jolla Farms Road, can be traced to this project at Loyola Marymount University.

This approach at 800 Prospect Street, however, is a far more extensive, detailed, and comprehensive application, and more consistent with the principles of the International Style, and Russell Forester's history of the use of these elements in other projects.

2323 Camino Del Oro

This one-story residence is composed of flat exterior walls, arranged in a large square that has interior courtyards and open spaces. The primary exterior wall facing the street is composed of highly textured rough stone wall panels set within a regular framework that is smooth, projected from the face of the exterior wall, and a contrasting color. At most of this perimeter, there are no openings and the stone panels are uniform scale. At the few entrances, the wall panels are deleted and the framework continues.

Slightly smaller than the outer wall is a central core that is extruded upward, with a deep overhanging roof that is supported by the uniform perimeter columns that recall the outer frame. This central core is an extruded element that rises above the outer walls, with a much smoother wall. The vertical grooves in the siding of the central core emphasize the sense that this is a vertically extruded element. Large scale windows occur at this central core.

At other sides, the exterior rough stone panels are replaced with the smoother siding that is used at the central core. At all sides the orthogonal framework continues. In this framework, the columns are projected farther from the face of the wall than the horizontal beam overhead, so there is a small passing connection there, and State of California -The Resources Agency Primary# ____ DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# _____ RESIDENCE, STRUCTURE, AND OBJECT RECORD NRHP Status Code 552

Application of Designation Criteria continued

the horizontal beam is noticeably larger in depth than the width of the columns. A photograph of this property is included in Attachment E.l.

Summary of this composition: This building exemplifies the lnternationa I Style, as follows:

• By the clear definition of interior and exterior spaces by the use of two exterior wall planes, one of which is the solid and uniformly extruded central core, and the second of which is the very rough stone exterior. Both of these are defined by the uniform and contrasting frames. • By the further definition of the interior core by the horizontal glazing. • By the use of uniform and regular frames at all exterior walls. • By the clear use of the exposed columns for structural support of the frameworks. • By the transformation of the column supports as they reach to top roofs, with the horizontal elements roughly 4 times the width as the columns, and with the slight projection of the columns beyond the plane of the perimeter beam. • By the consistent and exclusive use of orthogonal elements and corners in the entire composition.

It must also be noted that this house presents a striking sense of security and privacy from the street, much more so than does the house at 9438 La Jolla Farms Road, and combines that with a masterful treatment of the wall textures and materials and windows, with a bold and balanced gradation of materials and scale from the perimeter to the interior walls. In this case there is also a greatly increased sense of the extruded elements, orthogonal frames, and the expansive treatment of the windows.

This house at 2323 Camino Del Oro is a far better example of Russell Forester's work, with the use of structural elements to define spaces and volume, the use of large scale elements, and the extruded volumes. This project uses the orthogonal frame first as a structural element, and makes it serve other purposes, rather than as an applied ornament as is the case in the house at 9438 La Jolla Farms Road.

Application of Designation Criteria Conclusion:

While the property does not meet Criterion A, CorD, it does meet Criterion Band is eligible for listing on the local register under that Criterion only.

Historic Context

According to the Guidelines for the Application of Historical Resources Board Designation Criteria, the significance of a historic property can be judged and explained only when it is evaluated in its historic context. Historic contexts are those patterns or trends in history by which a specific occurrence, property or site is understood and its meaning {and ultimately its significance) within history is made clear. In order to decide whether a property is significant within its historic context, the following things must be determined. 2

Historic Context continued

1. Identify the themes, geographical limits and chronological period that the property represents:

The building was constructed as a single family residence in 1963, in an upscale La Jolla neighborhood of single family homes, for the family of Jacob Bronowski. Dr. Bronowski was an internationally known mathematician and humanist associated with the Salk Institute during his years in residence here, which was not uncommon in this vicinity. The neighborhood is situated in a mesa type of landscape with steep coastal canyons that lead to views to the Pacific Ocean. The subject residence is located on a large flat lot, with heavy vegetation and was designed to ensure privacy. This is a typical lot for this a rea, and the placement of the residence at the rear of the lot near the ocean was not unusual for this particular neighborhood. The building is part of the pattern of residential development in La Jolla in the 1960s. The building was designed in the 20th Century International style by Master Architect Russell Forester, but it is not a notable example of his work. The International style was an early example of Modernism and a major world-wide trend of the 1920s to 1940s. The International style is characterized by radical simplification of form and a complete rejection of ornament. Common features of the International style architecture include square and rectangular building footprints, simple cubic or extruded rectangular forms, horizontal bands of windows1 strong right angles and asymmetrical facades. As discussed more extensively above, the subject property is considered a poor example of the style because it is dominated by an ornamental orthogonal frame and lacks the horizontal bands of windows and asymmetrical facades, among other features. The International style was very popular in the 1960s in this area and other examples were constructed in La Jolla during this period. The theme of the property is 20th Century International Style residences, owned by persons of significance, the geographical limits are La Jolla and the chronological period is the 1960s.

2. Determine how the theme of the context is significant in the history of the local area:

La Jolla was first developed in the late 1800's as a small beachside community. Tourism and seaside living attracted many summer visitors and slowly the population grew with permanent residents. Gradually the city grew, the streetcar line was extended to the area, city services began to be developed, schools were built, and the population expanded with new homes under construction that reflected the architectural trends of the period. By the 1920s and 1930s, La Jolla had moved beyond its small beach community and cottage architecture, becoming a prime location for homes and businesses. The sloping hillsides that led down to the beaches offered prime lots with ocean views which became very desirable as home sites. The University of California, San Diego was constructed in the early 1960s. The development of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Salk Institute, among others, became important additions to the local scientific community, conducting research applicable globally. The area in the La Jolla Farms subdivision facing the ocean became an enclave for persons associated with the University, Scripps, Salk and the other scientific centers in La Jolla.

The subject property was developed as part of the overall process of growth and expansion in La Jolla in the 1960s. The single family residence was an example of not only the residential development of La Jolla during this decade but it also is an example of the popular 20th Century International style for homes on the hills of La Jolla1 some of which were occupied by persons of significance to the scientific community.

3. Determine what the property type is and whether it is important in Illustrating the historic context:

The property type is a single family residence and is a poor example of a 20th Century International Style home. The home is a typical example of the style, type, and location of architect-designed luxury single family homes in La Jolla in State of California- The Resources Agency Primary# _ ___ DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# _____ RESIDENCE, STRUCTURE, AND OBJECT RECORD NRHP Status Code 552

Historic Context continued the 1960s. The building is not important in illustrating the historic context, as it is one of many architect-designed luxury homes in this area and many of those homes are much more indicative of the 20th Century International design concepts. Although the subject property is not important to illustrating all aspects of its historic context, it is important in illustrating the area as an enclave for persons associated with the University, Scripps, Salk and the other scientific centers in La Jolla.

4. Determine how the property represents the context through HRB Criteria:

Criterion A: An evaluation of how the subject property does or does not exemplify or reflect special elements of the City's, community's or neighborhood's development under Criterion A is as follows:

The property does not exemplify or reflect special elements of the City's, community's or neighborhood's historical development, archaeological development, cultural development, social development, economic development, political development, aesthetic, engineering, landscaping or architectural development as is more extensively discussed above under the HRB Designation Criteria. Therefore, the property does not represent the context through Criterion A.

Criterion B: An evaluation of how the subject property is or is not identified with persons or events significant in local, state or national history under Criterion B is as follows:

The subject property is not significant under Criterion B: Event for its association with a significant event or events in the history of San Diego, the state or the nation, but it is significant under Criterion B: Person for its association with Jacob Bronowski, a person who has made demonstrable achievements and contributions to the history of San Diego, the state, and the nation. The home was associated with Dr. Bronowski, a noted mathematician and humanist, as his primary residence during the last nine years of his life, when he was associated with the Salk Institute as a Research Professor and Fellow of the Salk Institute, and Director of the Council for Biology in Human Affairs there. Therefore, the property does represent the context through Criterion B.

Criterion C: An evaluation of whether the subject property includes the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of 20th Century International construction, or indigenous materials or craftsmanship under Criterion C, is as follows:

The subject property is a poor example of 20th Century International Style residential development in La Jolla from the 1960s because the primary fa~ade facing the street is dominated by an orthogonal frame that is clearly in contradiction to the International Style, as it is a purely ornamental element. The primary fa~ade facing the street is composed of two blank walls separated by the entrance to the house. This simplistic approach is not consistent with the International Style, which would have provided a counterpoint of extensive glass bands, variations in materials, and projecting structural elements. Further, a more mature example of the International Style would have these elements composed in a clearly asymmetrical way. As is more extensively discussed above under the HRB Designation Criteria, the subject property does not represent the context through Criterion C.

Criterion D: An evaluation of whether the subject property is representative of a notable work of a master architect, Russell Forester, under Criterion D, is as follows: State of California-The Resources Agency Primary# ____ DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# _____ RESIDENCE, STRUCTURE, AND OBJECT RECORD NRHP Status Code SS2

Historic Context continued

The property is not a notable of the work of Master Architect Russell Forester as is more extensively discussed above under the HRB Designation Criteria. There are other, more notable examples of Forester's work in the International style including 800 Prospect Street in La Jolla, that makes a far more masterful use of an orthogonal frame at the exterior, and 2323 Camino del Oro in La Jolla, a residence that starts with similar blank walls and a central entrance element, but which uses a far greater range of materials and applies these elements into a more coherent composition in the International Style. The subject property does not represent the context through Criterion D.

5. Determine what physical features the property must possess in order for it to reflect the significance of the historic context:

The property represents the significance of the historic context as an example under Criterion B: Person for its association with Jacob Bronowski, a person who has made demonstrable achievements and contributions to the history of San Diego, the state, and the nation. The theme of the property is 20tn Century International Style residences owned by persons of significance, the geographical limits are La Jolla and the chronological period is the 1960s. The presence or absence of physical features at the property is not relevant when a property is significant for its association with a significant person in our history.

Historic Context Conclusion: The property represents the significance of the historic context as an example under Criterion B: Person, for its association with Jacob Bronowski, but not under any other aspect.

Ms. Marie Burke Lia Attorney at Law 427 C Street, Suite 416, San Diego, CA, 92101

Re: Residence at 9438 La Jolla Farms Road

Dear Ms Lia:

I have carefully inspected the subject property and have the following observations to make relative to its design and present condition.

The house is designed generally in accordance with Modernist principles and is the verified work of the architect, Russell Forester. It is, however, not one of his more successful projects.

Forester's best work does not utilize spurious details -- in this case, the application of the meaningless four-by-four columns, which surround the house on three sides and which provide no useful purpose.

In analyzing the design, one could speculate that Forester included the columns to compensate for the unyielding plainness of the front and side fa9ades of the house, designed without either doors or windows, to satisfy the owner's requirement for strict privacy.

To accomplish this, the bedrooms open onto an inner courtyard and the living/dining room opens to the rear terrace and garden. This arrangement insures privacy from the neighbors, the street, and side-yards, but deprives the otherwise very plain fa9ades of the n~lief normally provided by doors and windows. The present condition of these columns is that, if they are to be retained, most will require serious repair or be entirely replaced.

In conclusion, it is my judgment that, although this building is by a Master Architect, it does not merit recognition because of its design, but only possibly because of the prominence of its owner.

Sincerely yours, /n ~£ of-11}1~J~~ Ro'b
