Supplemental Item Land Use Planning Received February 7, 2019 Marti MacGibbon Dear Fatema Crane: I support designating the Symmes Garden at 1440 & 1450 Hawthorne Terrace with Landmark status. I have visited there and really enjoy the garden and its atmosphere. Marion McNiven has given me an account of its history and described the considerable work she and the late Sylvia McLaughlin have done over the years to maintain the character of the place. I also enjoyed talking with Sylvia there and becoming familiar with her conservation work. She was a phenomenal, inspirational person, and I hope her home, especially the outdoor environment, is preserved. One feature particularly stands out to me: the common open expanse of lawn and garden with its accompanying partially covered shared patio area. With its access to both houses, room for tables and chairs and barbecue equipment etc., it is great for ambiance and outdoor meals. I have heard of proposals to put a fence or wall to divide the common area. I would advise against it. It would negatively impact at least one of the houses (1440 Hawthorne Terrace) and reduce the quality of life of its residents. For many decades, Donald McLaughlin and Hugh McNiven, both engineers, had the skills and opportunity to modify the original design of the garden-shared patio. But they decided that the original (current) layout was the highest and best use of the property. To protect the degradation of the property and the reduction of Marion McNiven, Sylvia McLaughlin and Mabel Symmes’ legacies, I urge the board to designate Landmark status on the Symmes Garden at 1440-1450 Hawthorne Terrace. Sincerely, Marti MacGibbon [email protected] 5531 Cannes Way Fair Oaks, CA 95628 P.O. Box 255, Orangevale, CA 95662 T 310 210 4674 W: http://martimacgibbon.com Crane, Fatema From: chris fitzhugh <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2019 10:28 AM To: Crane, Fatema Cc: Landmarks Preservation Commission Subject: Mabel Symmes Garden on Hawthorne Terrace [email protected] Dear Fatema Crane: I am writing to support granting Landmark protection status to the Symmes gardens and exteriors of 1440 and 1450 Hawthorne Terrace (Berkeley). In addition to displaying appropriate respect for the work of Henry H. Gutterson and Mabel Symmes, protecting the properties would preserve the legacy of Marion McNiven and Sylvia McLaughlin, who worked together for sixty years maintaining the vision of the houses’ and garden’s creators. Radically transforming the 1450 landscaping would ruin the character of the common garden. Separating the properties with a barrier would be like introducing a Berlin Wall and would detract from the 1440 property. Given the obvious age and design of the established backyard gardens and the common outdoor seating area of the houses, it should have been obvious to any potential buyer performing due diligence, i.e. simply looking at the manner in which the properties were connected, that proposed radical modifications would be objectionable. Please grant Landmark status to the Symmes garden. Sincerely, Chris Fitzhugh [email protected] P.O. Box 255 Orangevale, CA 95662 1 [44A HAWIIF{OR.NIE 1T]ER.R.,ACIE BIER.KEN.]EY" CA 94VA8 Land Use Planning February 6,2018 Received February 6, 2019 Landmarks Preservation Commission c/o Fatema Crane Senior Planner and Secretary Planning and Development Department 1947 Second Street,2nd Floor Berkeley, CA 94704 Re: Landmarks Designation for Sperry-Mclaughlin House and Gardens Dear Commissioners: I write to augment the excellent report and draft findings prepared by staff with respect to the Speny-Mclaughlin House and Gardens landmark applications and to respond to the January 3I,2019letter from the Dreyfuses's legal counsel. Regarding that letter, the Dreyfuses (through their attorney) now assert that "The gardens and grounds should not be designated either independently as a landmark or as contributing in any way as to the historic significance of the home itself." This is extraordinary because Stacy Kozakavich, the expert for the Dreyfuses who evaluated the landmark application for the 1450 Hawthorne Terrace property, stated (under oath), "My opinion is that any landmark status afforded to this property should include 1450 Hawthorne, 1440 Hawthorne, and the entire garden." (Ex. A.) The property's neighbors and over 6o Berkeley citizens who signed the petitions to preserve the house and gardens likewise believe the gardens are worthy of protection as do the landscape architecture authorities who wrote in support of the landmark designation for the garden designed by Mabel Symmes, including Janet Gracyk, Chris Pattillo, and Profs. Elizabeth Macdonald and Joe McBride. The owners' counsel now contends, erroneously, that the City does not have the authority to designate areas outside the public view as landmarks. Here, the gardens at issue - particularly the gardens of 1450 Hawthome Terrace -- ure generally visible from the public streets, namely Hawthorne Terrace and Vine Lane. The front yard and front arbor, for example, are fully visible from the public sidewalks on Hawthorne Terrace. Even if the garden was not visible to the public, the LPC has the authority to protect areas of architectural, historic and cultural merit. Counsel's th reliance on Francis Martin ttt v. Ctty and County of San Francisco (2005), 135 Cal.App. 392, is misplaced. That case arose out of San Francisco's attempt to preserve a V/illis Polk designed room with redwood paneling. The court of appeals held that the city could not dictate to property owners what they could do to interior rooms, and as such has nothing whatsoever to do with the authority of a city to designate grounds and landscapes as landmarks. Significantly the relevant Page2 of 4 state statute authorizing local landmarking, California Government Code $ 37361(b), contains no such restriction. In short, they do not have a leg to stand on. Their late-breaking contention that the garden is not worthy of preservation is based upon the faulty premise that a female landscape architect who practiced in the early 20th Century is somehow less worthy than better known male practitioners. That misconception was addressed in my last missive to the Commission and has been soundly rebutted by eminent landscape architecture historians such as Professor Thaisa Way, author of Unbounded Practice: Women and Landscape Architecture in the Early Twentieth Century (2009), and Janet Gracyk who personally inspected the garden and authored the HALs designation for the White House grounds. Notwithstanding the attempts to portray Mabel Symmes as insignificant, she is not; her garden design for Blake House has influenced generations of students and her other masterwork, the garden of the Charles Menill House in Orinda, has been recognized on the national register of historic sites by the US Park Service. The Hawthorne Terrace garden under consideration by the LPC is in substantially the same condition as it was when originally designed by Symmes. As the landscape architectural experts, including the owners' own expert, agree, the gardens have integrity and are worthy oi preservation. As Prof. McBride states, "It is a model of early 20th Century design that should be preserved for future students of landscape architecture and others interested in the design history of Berkeley and the Bay Area." Ignoring the importance of the landscaping to the overall design of the property would be a disservice to the citizens of Berkeley as well as Sylvia Mclaughlin who loved and preserved the garden that Symmes designed. V/ith respect to the Draft Findings, we agree with findings#2,3 and 4, and respectfully recommend as follows: o Finding #2be revised to reflect that Sylvia Mclaughlin lived at 1450 Hawthorne Terrace (the Speny-Mclaughlin House) from 1955 until her death in20l6; o Finding #2 be revised to reflect that meetings of the UC Board of Regents took place at the 1450 House during the 1960s (Free Speech Movement); o The last sentence of Finding #3 be revised as follows: ". , within a family compound setting that was integrated with a designed landscape by Henrv Gutterson and landscape architect Mabel Svmmes." (underlined text to be added) The Report should also be revised to reflect that the pond and fountain on the 1450 property were original features designed by Gutterson and Symmes as reflected on the blueprints. The frieze of Sylvia and her brothers dates from approximately l92I (when Sylvia was 5 years old). Prior to being mounted in the patio area of the 1450 Hawthome Terrace home circa 1960, it resided at Sylvia's parents'home ("Cramner House") at200 Cheny Street in Denver, Colorado, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. With respect to the "Features to Be Preserved" listed in Staff s draft findings, we write to request that the following clarifications and revisions be made: o The description after the numeral 1 appears to reference the Sperry-Mclaughlin House and a portion of the "sperry Marsh House." As written the scope is confusing, which is further compounded by the fact that the bulleted list includes numerous hardscaping features. The recommendation should be revised as Page 3 of4 follows: "The designation shall apply to the building and hardscape features of the subject property ("the Speny Mclaughlin House and Gardens") and the distinguishing features thereof, namely (a) the primary residential building on the 1450 Hawthorne Terrace property, (b) that portion of the adjacent garage structure sitting on the 1450

I started my horticultural career later in life and following some volunteer work in historic gardens and completing my RHS level 2 Diploma, I was fortunate enough to secure a place on the Historic and Botanic Garden training scheme. I spent a year at Kensington Palace Gardens as part of the scheme. Following this I attended the Kew Specialist Certificate in Ornamental Horticulture which gave me the opportunity to deepen my plant knowledge and develop my interest in working in historic gardens. While on the course I was able to attend a series of lectures in garden history. My interest was drawn to the renaissance gardens of Italy, which have had a significant influence on European garden design and in particular on English Gardens. It seems significant that in order to understand many of the most important historic gardens in the UK one must understand the design principles and forms, and the classical references and structures of the Italian renaissance.

  • Italian Villas and Their Gardens
    Italian Villas and Their Gardens By Edith Wharton INTRODUCTION ITALIAN GARDEN-MAGIC Though it is an exaggeration to say that there are no flowers in Italian gardens, yet to enjoy and appreciate the Italian garden-craft one must always bear in mind that it is independent of floriculture. The Italian garden does not exist for its flowers; its flowers exist for it: they are a late and infrequent adjunct to its beauties, a parenthetical grace counting only as one more touch in the general effect of enchantment. This is no doubt partly explained by the difficulty of cultivating any but spring flowers in so hot and dry a climate, and the result has been a wonderful development of the more permanent effects to be obtained from the three other factors in garden-composition—marble, water and perennial verdure—and the achievement, by their skilful blending, of a charm independent of the seasons. It is hard to explain to the modern garden-lover, whose whole conception of the charm of gardens is formed of successive pictures of flower-loveliness, how this effect of enchantment can be produced by anything so dull and monotonous as a mere combination of clipped green and stonework. The traveller returning from Italy, with his eyes and imagination full of the ineffable Italian garden-magic, knows vaguely that the enchantment exists; that he has been under its spell, and that it is more potent, more enduring, more intoxicating to every sense than the most elaborate and glowing effects of modern horticulture; but he may not have found the key to the mystery.

  • Geoffrey Jellicoe Collection AR
    University Museums and Special Collections Service Geoffrey Jellicoe collection AR JEL 1960s-1990s 349 items Jellicoe, Sir Geoffrey Geoffrey Jellicoe was a founder member of the Institute of Landscape Architects, an architect, town planner, landscape architect and writer. He played a pivotal role shaping the Institute into an identifiable and viable organisation. He was visionary and determined in his approach, a man of phenomenal energy, broad interest and charisma, evident in his involvement both with the institute and in his own practice. He was elected president of the ILA in 1939 soon after the outbreak of WW2, but in his case, the usual two year office lasted for 10 years. During this time the Institute operated from his office and shared his secretary. So between Jellicoe, Ellen Heckford and especially Mrs Douglas [Gwen] Browne, communication lines were kept open with members: he produced occasional war time editions of the journal following the collapse of Landscape and Garden, and continued to run Council and committees. In addition to all this he subsidised the running of the Institute both during his term as president and for several decades after, and he diverted fees from one of his jobs to help establish the landscape course at Newcastle. In 1948 he became founding president of the International Federation of Landscape Architects. Although his training was in architecture, from the beginning of his time in practice in the 1920s, his work included garden and landscape design as well as architecture and town planning. He was to become one of the most celebrated landscape architects during his lifetime.

There have been a number of major garden restorations that have added to the understanding of the past and delighted visitors. Developments in refining historic landscape characterisation, designing contemporary heritage gardens and regenerating public parks have far-reaching implications This issue of Conservation Bulletin focuses on historic gardens and landscape. The Mori Poll undertaken as part of the consultation for the historic environment review shows that people value places, not just as a series of individual sites and buildings but as part of a familiar and much-loved environment – a landscape. As the Black Environment Network has commented in response to the poll: ‘People need to understand the components of their locality – street names, elements of their home, cultural memory, places of worship, green spaces – they all have stories’. It is the whole place, not any individual feature, which speaks to them of their history and which is why we have called the review Power of Place .

Traditionally, sites identified during archaeological survey are characterized by relatively large quantities of datable items, architectural remains, food bone, and other tangible artifacts. Such a strategy of site identification in the field can not locate or will totally ignore more intangible aspects of the plantation landscape such as gardens, fence lines, and possibly many utility buildings. Field strategies must change if we are to learn more about actual garden layouts and construction details. In addition, archaeologists should begin formulating research questions which can be addressed at the data recovery level in a compliance setting. crowfield i~ located in Berkley County, south Carolina near the town of Goose Creek, about 12 miles northwest of the city of Charleston. The plantation is situated on a terrace overlooking Huckhole swamp where inland swamp rice was cultivated in the eighteenth century.

  • Topic No. 15 Shade Gardens, Sunken Gardens, Roof Gardens, Terrace Garden
    Topic no. 15 Shade gardens, sunken gardens, roof gardens, terrace garden (A) SHADE GARDEN Shade gardening refers to growing of shade loving plants under shady conditions. The shady conditions may be natural tree shades or artificial shade created using protected structures such as conservatories, shade net houses, etc., The plants suitable for shade gardens are listed below. Ferns : Nephrolepis, Asplenium, Pteris Foliage plants : Caladium, Alocasia Bulbs : Daffodil, crocus, hyacinth Cut flowers : Fox glove (Digitalis) Perennials : Hydrangea (B) SUNKEN GARDEN It is formed taking advantage of a natural depression. The depression is made into different tiers over which ground covers, edges, flower beds and small herbs may be grown. At the center of the depression, a pond or pool is formed to grow water plants. A sunken garden can be laid out in an already existing depression of land or a portion of the garden may be modified to lay out such a garden. Since a sunken ground is likely to collect water, adequate drainage arrangement should be made. The simplest method willbe to have one or two drainage outlets and connect them to the sewage system. It is not advisable to have a sunken garden in a very heavy soil because of the drainage problem. If the garden is likely to be flooded rapidly, special arrangements may have to be made to drain out the excess of water accumulated. Some drainage materials such as stones, rubbles, etc., may be placed below the surface of the sunken garden at a depth of about 1 metre from the surface. The thickness of these materials may be about 60 cm.
