    EUCLID AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT AERIAL & MAP OF The Euclid Avenue Historic District contains the portion of the Avenue which is north of G and south of the I-10. All properties which front Euclid Avenue in this portion have been included within the Historic District boundaries. HISTORY Euclid Avenue was designed and laid out in 1882 by EUCLID AVENUE MEDIAN IS LISTED ON THE George & William Chaffey to be the backbone and NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES centerpiece for the “Model Irrigation Colony”. The brothers designed the avenue to be a thing of functionality and lasting beauty. Euclid Avenue had provisions for an electric railway, water rights for each landowner, electric lights, and long distance telephone lines, and a local educational institution. All of these components were integral to the growth and development that occurred along the avenue. The avenue was designed to run from San Antonio Heights at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains at the north end of the colony to the southern edge of the colony at the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks. Construction of the avenue began that same year under the Chaffey brother’s direct supervision and, by 1884, four miles of the avenue had been graded. The median was landscaped with Palm trees and faster growing Pepper trees. The curbs and streets were made of granite cobblestone. The cobblestone streets have been paved over with asphalt several times over the years and are no longer visible. In 1886, the Chaffey’s sold their interest in Ontario to Charles Frankish who then formed the Ontario Land and Improvement Company.

  • 4.0 ARCHITECTURAL SUMMARY and RECOMMENDATIONS
    Intensive Level Historic Resources Survey Town of Clarence 4.0 ARCHITECTURAL SUMMARY and RECOMMENDATIONS CBCA PN 05-012A May 2009 Intensive Level Historic Resources Survey Town of Clarence 4.0 ARCHITECTURAL SUMMARY and RECOMMENDATIONS This section provides a brief academic description and generalized viewing context for architectural styles and forms found to be represented in the Town of Clarence. 4.1 Residential Architectural Styles and Forms: 4.1.1 Colonial Houses (1600-1820) 1 The early colonists of America brought with them the prevailing architectural styles and building practices of their native lands. In the early 1700s, the English colonists of the successful eastern seaboard colonies imported from their mother country the Renaissance-inspired Georgian style, which was quickly adopted and adapted. Nearly a century later, this then-dominant style was replaced by the related Adam style. Both styles are marked by a simple box-like plan, strict symmetry and distinct, even ornamentation emphasizing the entrances and fenestration. Figure 20. – Rice Sinclair House, Main Street Local Historic Designated Landmark Remaining, original examples of Colonial homes are relatively rare. Much more common are later “revivals.” It is often difficult to distinguish these “revivals” from the originals. Two points may be help in this determination: the location, as each Colonial style was built in a rather limited area of the country; and a significant element of hand-crafting evident in the construction and detailing of the dwelling, as Colonials were built before the era of industrialization. Based on dates, location, and local history, the Town of Clarence may have a small handful of remaining Colonial houses of later Adam influenced styling, albeit with later period adaptation and modification; further investigation will yield conclusive determination.

    II ARCHITECTS IN SCHOOLS CURRICULUM II SECTION 3 3.1 ARCHITECTURAL PERIODS AND STYLES “ In most parts of the West, a child is likely to learn little in school about the geography and history of the region that is shaping him. He gets them through the pores if he gets them at all. Many never get them, some get them late: it is not uncommon for grown men and women to develop a mono- maniac interest in local history that as children they never heard of. The discovery that it has been around them all the time, and they deprived of it, forever shatters their ability to take it for granted as inheritors of a stabler tradition might do.” Wallace Stegner “The Sound of Mountain Water” ACTIVITY CHECKLIST FOR PAGES 3.7-3.168 II ARCHITECTS IN SCHOOLS CURRICULUM II Architectural Periods and Styles 3.2 Section 3 Activities in the seven periods of architecture These activities contain the following Content Standards in The Arts: n AESTHETICS AND ART CRITICISM • Explain, analyze works of art, applying knowledge of technical, organizational, and aesthetic elements. • Respond to works of art, giving reasons for preferences. n HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES • Relate to works of art from various time periods and cultures. • Describe how historical and cultural contents influence works of art. n CREATE, PRESENT, AND PERFORM • Apply artistic elements and technical skills to create, present and/or perform works of art for a variety of audiences and purposes. • Communicate verbally and in writing about one’s own art work.
