  • Historic Resources Survey, Hollywood Redevelopment Project Area Historic Districts, Planning Districts, and Multi‐Property Resources – 01/28/20
    Historic Resources Survey, Hollywood Redevelopment Project Area Historic Districts, Planning Districts, and Multi‐Property Resources – 01/28/20 Districts Name: De Longpre Park Residential Historic District Description: The De Longpre Park Residential Historic District is a concentration of pre‐World War II residences in central Hollywood. The district is flat and moderate in size. It encompasses an irregularly shaped area that is generally bounded by Leland Way on the north, Fountain Avenue and Homewood Avenue on the south, Hudson and Wilcox avenues on the east, and Cherokee Avenue on the west. The district is primarily composed of small, modest, single‐family residences that were built between the very early 20th century and the 1920s. These houses are sited on deep, narrow lots, and are one (and occasionally two) stories in height. They are designed in a variety of architectural styles that were popular at the time; the American Colonial Revival, Craftsman, and Spanish Colonial Revival styles are the most common, though some of the earlier houses exhibit characteristics of Late Victorian era styles. Common architectural features include flat or moderately pitched roofs with projecting eaves, exposed rafters, and eave returns; clay tile trim and coping (on Spanish Colonial Revival houses); front porches with articulated supports; wood clapboard and stucco wall cladding; and multi‐light wood windows. Many houses feature a detached garage or ancillary building at the rear of the lot. Common alterations include the replacement of original doors, windows, and wall cladding, and the addition of security bars and perimeter fences. Interspersed between these houses are a handful of multi‐family dwellings that generally complement the neighborhood’s scale and character, as well as a few examples of larger‐scale multi‐family properties – mostly apartment houses – that were built after World War II and do not contribute to the district.

  • Cities As Entertainment Centers: Can Transformative Projects Create Place?
    NOT FOR CITATION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE AUTHORS “Cities as Entertainment Centers: Can Transformative Projects Create Place? Lynne B. Sagalyn and Amanda G. Johnson Paper Prepared for “Explaining Metropolitan Transformation: Politics, Functions and Symbols” Special Master Class University of Amsterdam Amsterdam, The Netherlands January 25-26, 2013 Cities have long been identified as centers for entertainment. By historical evolution or deliberate public policy, across the globe the core of the entertainment industry has lodged itself in the city center. Times Square in New York and the West End of London may be the most iconic centers, but Toronto’s Entertainment Center and Cleveland’s Playhouse Square derive from a similar centralizing root, as did Potsdamer Platz before the Berlin Wall divided that city. City life itself is often considered theater, a place of real-time performance, street dance, and impromptu staccato of entertainment. Akin to this informal, popular side of city entertainment, amusement parks first found vibrant, if temporary, expression in the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, whereas by the turn of the century the People’s Playground of Coney Island had become the uncontested epicenter of America’s emerging mass culture. As an idea to shape and promote city identity and draw large numbers of tourists and residents, arts districts fashioned out of whole cloth and invented by public policy began to spring into being in Dallas, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Kansas City and numerous other urban centers in the 1980s. Whether for live- theater performance, mass amusement, or arts entertainment, as a location of centrality, cities have 1 C:\Users\lbs4\Documents\Papers\Amsterdam_2013\FINAL DRAFT FILES\Cities as Entertainment Centers_Sagalyn_Johnson_012413.docx long had a competitive advantage, and this has been no less the case as evolving cultural notions of entertainment increasingly have shifted to sports events and produced new large-format entertainment centers such as London’s O2, L.A.

  • LYTTON SAVINGS 8150 SUNSET BOULEVARD Historic-Cultural Monument Application
    LYTTON SAVINGS 8150 SUNSET BOULEVARD Historic-Cultural Monument Application Dale: I &/1. <"/ I /- Submitted in fl.wt1 ~Commi ttee Council File No: I(, - I o1 y Item No. I '1 Deputy:.------- Pamela Deuel Meyer 2702 Westshire Drive, los Angeles, CA 90068 August4, 2016 To: Commissioners, Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission Re: Lytton Savings Building, 8150 Sunset Blvd. Good morning; Commissioners. My name is Pamela Meyer. My husband was Kurt Meyer, the architect of the Lyttons Savings building, and I've come here today in support of the application to preserve it by including it into the overall project. Since the present Gehry design is not as monolithic as the previous one, it could more easily integrate an existing low rise structure -Kurt's bulding-· amid the jumble of his signature low rise volumes along Sunset. I don't know if people realize the unique stained glass walls made by Basque artist Roger Derricarrere, who ts known for inventing the technique of dalle de verre. He cast each glass slab individually, with their vtvid, fiery colors. Born and educated in Zurich, Switzerland, Kurt came to Los Angeles in 1949 as a young architect, inspired most of all by Le Corbusier. In 1959 Bart Lytton asked Kurt to design the headquarters building for Lytton Savings and Loan.
