    CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Gene Itogawa October 28, 2004 (916) 653-8936 Woodland, November 5, 2004 State Historical Resources Commission To Meet In their final meeting of the year, the State Historical Resources Commission will meet Friday, November 5 at the Yolo County Administration Building, (Erwin Meier Administrative Center), 625 Court St., Board of Supervisors Chambers, Room 206. It will consider the following nominations for the National Register of Historic Places: Avenel Cooperative Housing Project, comprised of 10 units located in Los Angeles, was designed in 1947 by Gregory Ain for a group of motion picture cartoonists and their families in the Silver Lake Area. Ain, who saw architecture as a means toward social ends, was one of several early Los Angeles Modernist architects who helped define Los Angeles as the center of the Modernist movement in American domestic architecture. Webster Schoolhouse, Markleeville, Alpine County, is a one-room schoolhouse built in 1882 and in use until 1928. It will join 11 other one-room schools in California currently listed on the National Register. Long considered the backbone of American education, the country school was attended by one-half of the country’s schoolchildren as late as 1913. Storrier-Stearns Japanese Garden in Pasadena, Los Angeles County, designed by master Japanese landscape designer Kinzuchi Fujii. Construction began in 1937 and was almost complete when Fujii was relocated to an internment camp soon after the outbreak of WWII. It is a rare extant pre-war garden still retaining its original design and many of its architectural and ornamental features.

  • 4.4 Cultural Resources
    Zone 2 Landslide Moratorium Ordinance Revisions EIR Section 4.4 Cultural Resources 4.4 CULTURAL RESOURCES This section analyzes potential impacts to archaeological, paleontological, and historical resources. The discussion is based on the findings of a Cultural Resources Records Search Summary performed by Historical, Environmental, Archaeological, Research Team (H.E.A.R.T.) (H.E.A.R.T., April 2010) and supplemented by a paleontological study conducted by Rincon Consultants (January 2011) as well as consultation with the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation. The records search was conducted at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) at California State University Fullerton, and included a historical map database search with the Geography Department at California State University Northridge, and a consultation with the Native American Heritage Commission. The paleontological resources study consists of a records review of California Geological Survey maps. To ensure the protection of known cultural resources sites identified in the study, the cultural resources report is available for review by qualified personnel at the City’s Community Development Department offices. There is no evidence to suggest the cultural or paleontological resource conditions have changed in the project area since the preparation of the 2010/2011 studies. 4.4.1 Setting a. Archaeological Overview. The overall Los Angeles region has been occupied for over 20,000 years, based on investigations in the Ballona Creek area of the Los Angeles Basin, the La Brea Tar Pits, and Malaga Cove. Chronologies for southern California indicate a generalized hunting and gathering economy in existence at a very early time. The Millingstone Period dates to over 6,000 years ago, and suggests a generalized plant collecting economy, supplemented by hunting and fishing.

    OPEN SPACES Volume 17, Number 1 Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy First Quarter, 2005 Jim Scharffenberger and Wayne Sharp lead fundraising efforts to preserve Portuguese Bend. PVE Councilman Jim Goodhart, Mike Gin representing LA County Supervisor Don Knabe, RHE Councilman Frank Zerunyan, RPV Mayor Larry Clark, Assemblywoman Betty Karnette, RPV Councilman Doug Stern, RPV Councilman Tom Long, Manhattan Beach Councilman Jim Aldinger, RH Mayor Tom Heinsheimer, RH Councilman Allen Lay, and PVE Mayor Dwight Abbott. Portuguese Bend Pony Club was one of 70 groups who cut ribbons at Del Conservancy Launches Cerro Park. Fundraising Campaign to Fulfill the Dream On Sunday, March 20th the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy and the City of Rancho Palos Verdes gathered with residents and elected officials to launch a $6 million community fundraising campaign to “Fulfill the Dream” of purchasing land that will complete the 1500-acre Portuguese Bend Nature Preserve. A ribbon-cutting ceremony, hosted by Bill Ailor and RPV Mayor Larry Clark, was held at the top of Del Cerro Park, overlook- ing the magnificent slopes of Portuguese Bend with Catalina Island in the distance. This location is especially meaningful because a donor recognition site for the preserve will be created on this spectacular overlook. An estimated 500 Peninsula residents and over 70 community groups cut ribbons and showed their support for the Preserve. As part of the campaign, the Land Conservancy announced a Legacy Stakeholder program that would allow people to contribute by purchasing an honorary deed representing a portion of the preserve. Patrons who donate $37,000 or more for an honorary deed for a full acre, will be honored with permanent recognition at the Del Cerro site as a lasting tribute and legacy.

  • Allaback National Historic Landmark Final Report
    ESSAYS ON MODERN ARCHITECTURE For the National Historic Landmark Program Introduction Chronology Essays 1. The Skyscraper 2. The Modern House 3. Modern Religious Architecture 4. The Modern College Campus and Modern Buildings on Campus 5. Modern Art Museums Architect Lists Sarah Allaback, Ph.D. Amherst, Massachusetts April 2, 2003 INTRODUCTION The following essays and lists of architects are intended to further the study of modern buildings that may qualify as National Historic Landmarks. The buildings are organized by type and evaluated in terms of architectural significance. American architects began to experiment with styles beyond the traditional neoclassical in the early nineteenth century. Styles were chosen for their historical associations and the buildings were considered architecturally pure versions of the past. By the end of the century, architects felt free to combine styles in an “eclectic” manner, without such concern for stylistic origins. New technologies and building materials encouraged this emerging experimentation. If this was all modern, however, it was certainly not “modernism.” When European modernism arrived in the United States in the 1920s no one could mistake it for anything that went before. Historians quickly labeled this early phase of modern architecture the International Style. It was short-lived. The white, geometric forms were too bleak for Americans, especially since they came without the social meaning of their European counterparts. The International Style was imported to the United States, but its early development was not without American influence. As European architects began experimenting in wild new forms of architecture, materials and forms, they studied the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright, whose work had been published in portfolios by 1910.
