    Payne-Douglass House HABS Ho- CA-2128 Valparaiso Avenue Menlo Park San Mateo County California Hte PHOTOGRAPHS WRITTEN HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE DATA Historic American Buildings Survey National Park Service Department of the Interior Washington, D.C. 20240 HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY m-m^.HP PAYNE-DOUGLASS BOUSE CA-2128 Location: Valparaiso Avenue, Campus of Menlo School and College/ Menlo Park, San Mateo County, California. Present Ctoner: Menlo School and College. Present Use: Administrative offices, study halls, and bachelor faculty apartments. Significance; This house, one of the first in California to be constructed entirely of reinforced concrete, was designed by the prominent California architect, William Curlett, for the mining heiress Mary O'Brien Payne and her wealthy husband, Theodore F. Payne. The house was subsequently owned by the inventor Leon F. Douglass. PART I. HISTORICAL INFORMATION A Physical History 1. Date of erection: 1909-1914. The house was commissioned in 1906 and construction was probably delayed by Mr. Payne's death in 1907. 2. Architect: William Curlett (1845-1914). Curlett came to San Francisco from Ireland in 1871. Initially he worked as a draftsman for Thomas J. Johnston; they established a firm of Johnston & Curlett in 1873. In 1877 he joined Augustus Laver in the firm of Laver & Curlett, and thus was partially responsible for the 1879 design of Linden Towers for James C. Flood. They designed the William S. O'Brien mausoleum, which Oscar Lewis described as "long unrivaled (despite stiff competition) for sheer ugliness in the field of cemetery architecture." After 1880 Curlett was associated with several different architects: Theodore A.

  • Staff Report #18-225-CC
    AGENDA ITEM I-4 Public Works STAFF REPORT City Council Meeting Date: 12/4/2018 Staff Report Number: 18-225-CC Informational Item: Update on the citywide Safe Routes to School program Recommendation This is an informational item and does not require City Council action. Policy Issues The development of a Citywide Safe Routes to School program (Program) is included as one of the top-six priority projects in the City Council’s adopted 2018 work plan. The program is also an implementation program included in the 2016 general plan circulation element. Background On February 6, 2018, the City Council adopted its 2018 work plan, including the Citywide Safe Routes to school program and further prioritized it as one of the city’s top-six priority projects. Accordingly, staff reprioritized work efforts and prepared a draft request for proposals for the program. The Safe Routes to School subcommittee of the Complete Streets Commission and advocates from Parents for Safe Routes reviewed the draft request for proposals. Staff incorporated this feedback and released the request for proposals May 2, 2018. Six proposals were received by the May 23, 2018, due date. A team of seven people comprised of City staff and Complete Streets Commission subcommittee members reviewed proposals and recommended Alta Planning + Design to initiate the program. Authorization for entering into an agreement with Alta Planning + Design was approved at the City Council meeting June 19, 2018. A notice to proceed was given in July 2018, and this report serves as an update to the work that has been performed over the last five months.

  • Project Description
    PROJECT DESCRIPTION < ORACLE EDUCATIONAL FACITITY, REDWOOD CITY, CA Formal Planning Submittal – 9.11.2015 Oracle Education Foundation – Proposed Public High School PROJECT OVERVIEW The proposed project will be a partnership between Oracle, Oracle Education Foundation, and Design Tech High School. Oracle Oracle is a Fortune 100 corporation headquartered in Redwood Shores. Oracle engineers hardware and software to work together in the cloud and in your data center. Oracle Education Foundation Oracle Education Foundation (OEF) is a nonprofit organization funded by Oracle. It is a private foundation as defined in IRC Section 509(a). It engages Oracle employees as volunteer instructors, coaching high school students in multiday projects at the intersection of science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math (STEAM) disciplines. All OEF projects combine skill building with design challenges. Students learn coding and electrical engineering, and then apply these skills to problem solving. The problem-solving approach is Design Thinking, which promotes empathy with the user, creativity in generating solutions, the value of failure as necessary to learning and innovation, and rationality in fitting solutions to the context of the problem. OEF projects are fun and teach creative confidence, as well as persistence, resiliency, and grit. Many projects are designed to demystify the basic science underlying today's technologies and tomorrow's innovations. They use open hardware to introduce students to the most fundamental building blocks of engineering and show that technology is not magic—it’s accessible science that students can learn and use to author amazing, previously unimagined solutions. While inclusive, OEF's program pays particular attention to girls and other populations historically under-represented in STEAM careers.
