Historic Buildings in the Future Development Area of the Salinas Lincoln Avenue Corridor Development Project INFORMATIONAL REPORT ON HISTORIC BUILDINGS LOCATED WITHIN THE "SALINAS LINCOLN AVENUE CORRIDOR" RECOMMENDATION OF THE HISTORIC RESOURCES BOARD OF SALINAS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The Historic Resources Board has been tasked by City Council "to protect Salinas' architectural heritage assets for education, community revitalization and the promotion of heritage tourism." An important role of the Board is to "Provide guidance to property owners on the restoration, alteration and maintenance of Salinas' historic resources." • To fulfill this role, the Historic Resource Board is providing the City Council information on the historic buildings in the future development area of the Salinas Lincoln Avenue Corridor Development project. • The purpose of this informational report is to address the revitalization project of the City's historic downtown “Salinas Lincoln Avenue Corridor.“ This is part of and complimentary to the Salinas Downtown Vibrancy Plan. THE HISTORIC RESOURCES BOARD • The Historic Resources Board (HRB) was created on April 27, 2010, by the City Council’s adoption of ordinance # 2505. The HRB was tasked by council to protect Salinas’ architectural heritage assets for education, community revitalization and the promotion of heritage tourism. The Board works to protect Salinas’ historic assets listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the State Historic Landmark Register, and the California Register of Historic Resources. The HRB also identifies historic and cultural heritage sites in Salinas which can be featured as visitor or local attractions. • Communities that protect their architectural heritage show higher property values and attract visitors who stay longer and spend more. • In 2012, the Board was successful in obtaining state designation as a certified local government; such designation can facilitate the receipt of federal and state resources available to encourage historic preservation. • In June 2016, the City adopted a five-year Mills Act property tax savings program for designated historic properties. This program grants tax savings to owners of designated historic properties who contract for 10 years to maintain their property's historic characteristics according to the Secretary of Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. • As set out in the enabling ordinance, the Board makes recommendations to staff and to the planning commission and City Council regarding the designation, preservation, alteration, and demolition of local historic resources. THE HISTORIC RESOURCES BOARD Serving this role the Board: • Implements City policies pertaining to historic resources located in the City. • Promotes public education pertaining to historic resources. • Considers the use of economic incentives encouraging investment in local historic resources and promoting heritage tourism. • Provides guidance to property owners on the restoration, alteration and maintenance of Salinas’ historic resources, e.g. Mills Act. • Some members of the seven-member Board are qualified historians with professional qualifications or credentials in Prehistoric Archeology, Historic Architecture, or Architectural History. • All members of the Board have demonstrated interest, competence, or knowledge in historic preservation, heritage preservation, or heritage tourism. BACKGROUND The City of Salinas proclaims it's “Rich in Land, Rich in Values”—it too is rich in history. Over time, development of the City has too often failed to value the architecture and landmarks that reflect our local history. The historical architecture reflects Salinas' history, residents and their stories—and is an important link to their collective past. The properties discussed in this report should be thoughtfully preserved as critical pieces of Salinas' story. HISTORIC BUILDINGS IN THE "SALINAS LINCOLN AVENUE CORRIDOR" REPORT INCLUDE: • Armory, 100 Howard Street • Salinas Women's Club, 215 Lincoln Avenue • City Hall Rotunda, 200 Lincoln Avenue • Recreation Center Gym, 320 Lincoln Avenue • John Steinbeck Library, 350 Lincoln Avenue All these buildings were identified in the Cultural Resource Survey completed in 1989 and qualify for listing in the California Register of Historic Resources. Buildings listed are eligible for listing in the California Register and are subject to CEQA review (Title 14, Chapter 3.15064.5(2). Properties eligible for listing in the California Register must meet one of the following criteria and retain integrity: • Criterion 1: Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage. • Criterion 2: Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past. 1 • Criterion 3: Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values. 2 • Criterion 4: Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. 3 4 THE NEW CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY BUILDING October 15, 1896, the day that Troop C Cavalry first occupied the new Armory at the corner of Alisal and Salinas streets. PRESERVED AND RESTORED FOR COMMERICAL USE THE NEW CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY BUILDING On August 5, 1895, ninety-three locals join to form the third Cavalry troop in California (hence the letter “C”), the National Guard of California, Troop C, Cavalry, Salinas. The original Armory was their home and training center. The troop’s first officers were: Captain M. J. Burke; First Lieutenants, John L. Mathews, Frederick William Winham; Second Lieutenant, Frank M. Vierra. Other than training, their only action before 1916 was during the San Francisco earthquake on April 18, 1906. In this 1908-1909 photograph, "Troop C" training at nearby Santa Cruz. THE NEW CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY BUILDING The Salinas National Guard Armory was built at 100 Howard Street, between Salinas Street and Lincoln Avenue. Construction of the Armory began in 1932 to replace the old Armory which still stands at the corner of Alisal and Salinas Streets. The first Armory had insufficient space to house personnel and the armored vehicles and tanks required by the 40th National Guard Tank Company, requiring the construction of a larger facility and the move to the current Howard Street location. The 1932 ground breaking ceremonies were attended by Governor James “Sunny Jim” Rolph, Jr. of California. Pictured right: Salinas Mayor, Dr. Edmund James Leach (left); the Governor (center); and Ray Joseph Duddy, Fox Theater manager and president of the Chamber of Commerce. THE NEW CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY BUILDING Salinas City purchased the land using city funds of $40,000 and $10,000 in cash from the community, then gifted the four lots of land to the state. The federal government and the state provided the balance of funds to construct the building. A total of $250,000. The Howard Street Armory was one of four Works Progress Administation (WPA) construction projects undertaken by the National Guard. The first plan was drafted by Campbell & Koepp and was designed by Moderne Architect, Guy Koepp. It is an Art Deco style building that is unique for pre-World War II armories. Its' steel framed reinforced concrete structure is supported by massive steel trusses. These add visual interest from the center area of the Armory. The two-story ceremonial section features a wooden (shock absorbing) gymnasium floor, a stage, and a balcony with eight rows of wooden theatre style seating. Wings on either side of the center area were constructed for offices, restrooms, and ammunition storage. After World War II, a sally port tank garage was constructed at the rear of the Armory. CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY Significant Functions: Pre-World War II In 1895, The California National Guard established Troop C Cavalry with Salinas as its headquarters. By 1916, the Troop was merged into the 1st Squadron of the California Cavalry and were involved in the fight against the famous Francisco “Pancho” Villa. The Salinas 40th Tank Company was called into service in 1906 to support the civilian needs created by the San Francisco earthquake. The Troop fought in World War I and during that time were reorganized to become Company B, 145th Machine Gun Battalion of the 40th Infantry Division. In 1917, Troop C saw action in France during World War I, post-World War I, the Troop again reorganized and became the 40th Tank Company. Throughout the pre-World War II years, the 149th Armored Unit from Salinas, played an important role in assisting during times of natural disasters and riots in California. On Thanksgiving Day in 1927, the 184th Infantry and the 149th Armored Battalion from Salinas was dispatched to Folsom Prison to put down an inmate riot that involved hostages, injuries to correctional staff and inmates and significant facility damage. In 1934, the 40th Tank Company was called into service by the California Governor to help quell the violent longshoreman's strike at the San Francisco docks. CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY World War II With the onset of World War II, Salinas became a military hub in part due to the proximity of the 2,000 acre Camp Ord (named for Union Army Major General Edward Otho Cresap Ord) and its importance as a troop training grounds for the Pacific campaigns. Named Camp Ord in 1933 and renamed Fort Ord in 1940. The community rallied around the war effort. In September of 1941, the 194th Tank Battalion left Salinas for

Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Peter Paul Hoogendoorn PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE Liberating Urban Architecture (The Merging of the Virtual and the Real) Peter Pran Visionary creativity and innovative thinking in architecture and engineering are liberating us and allowing us to develop outstanding new solutions for buildings and urban design. Our close architect-engineer-developer collaboration and trust makes everything possible. Our work and design visions are on the edge, celebrating complexity, layered meanings and instability ushered in by the 21st century. Today, the real and virtual worlds are rapidly crossing paths, exploding our perceptions of where and how we live and work. Boundaries of all kinds are breaking down, providing opportunities for change in a tectonic realization of existentialist architecture. The job of predicting and charting a course for the future while striving to re-invent reality is destined to become a global struggle. Our goal should be to move aside whatever stands in the way of innovative thought, to articulate liberated buildings and spaces that make lives richer and more mean- ingful, and to define a vision for everyone as individuals. Based on progressive social, cultural and political ideals, we are in a position to take advantage of interaction across all media, and to express the full complexity and equality of all people.

  • War Crimes in the Philippines During WWII Cecilia Gaerlan
    War Crimes in the Philippines during WWII Cecilia Gaerlan When one talks about war crimes in the Pacific, the Rape of Nanking instantly comes to mind.Although Japan signed the 1929 Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War, it did not ratify it, partly due to the political turmoil going on in Japan during that time period.1 The massacre of prisoners-of-war and civilians took place all over countries occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army long before the outbreak of WWII using the same methodology of terror and bestiality. The war crimes during WWII in the Philippines described in this paper include those that occurred during the administration of General Masaharu Homma (December 22, 1941, to August 1942) and General Tomoyuki Yamashita (October 8, 1944, to September 3, 1945). Both commanders were executed in the Philippines in 1946. Origins of Methodology After the inauguration of the state of Manchukuo (Manchuria) on March 9, 1932, steps were made to counter the resistance by the Chinese Volunteer Armies that were active in areas around Mukden, Haisheng, and Yingkow.2 After fighting broke in Mukden on August 8, 1932, Imperial Japanese Army Vice Minister of War General Kumiaki Koiso (later convicted as a war criminal) was appointed Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army (previously Chief of Military Affairs Bureau from January 8, 1930, to February 29, 1932).3 Shortly thereafter, General Koiso issued a directive on the treatment of Chinese troops as well as inhabitants of cities and towns in retaliation for actual or supposed aid rendered to Chinese troops.4 This directive came under the plan for the economic “Co-existence and co-prosperity” of Japan and Manchukuo.5 The two countries would form one economic bloc.

  • Bankers Life Fieldhouse
    BANKERS LIFE FIELDHOUSE “Retro” was the name of the game when architect Ellerbe Becket designed plans in 1999 for Bankers Life Fieldhouse – the 18,000+ seat, $180 million home to the Indiana Pacers in downtown Indianapolis. A celebration of Indiana basketball tradition with a tribute to the state’s most memorable high school and collegiate fieldhouses was the inspiration behind the development, which boasts of being the “first fully themed arena in the world.” Tnemec coatings were specified for the interior and exterior structural steel at the fieldhouse, formerly known as Conseco Fieldhouse. The exterior steel was shop primed with Series 90- 97 Tneme-Zinc, a zinc-rich, aromatic urethane. Once in the field, an intermediate coat of Series 161 Tneme-Fascure, a corrosion- resistant, fast-cure epoxy was brush- and roller-applied, followed by a dark green coat of Series 73 Endura-Shield, an aliphatic acrylic polyurethane. A topcoat of Series 76 Endura-Clear, a unique aliphatic polyurethane clearcoat, was applied to complete the coating system. “Series 76 was used on the exterior steel to protect and enhance the color coat of Series 73,” said Tnemec coating consultant Jeff Parish. “With a structure that’s one hundred feet in the air, you PROJECT INFORMATION want to ensure that it won’t have to be recoated anytime in the near future. This coating system worked perfectly.” Project Location The interior structural steel was prepared in accordance with Indianapolis, Indiana SSPC-SP6/NACE No. 3 Commercial Blast Cleaning and arrived on Project Completion Date site after having been primed with Series 161.

  • The Bastards of Bataan: General Douglas Macarthur's Role
    The Bastards of Bataan: General Douglas MacArthur’s Role in the Fall of the Philippines during World War II By: Lahia Marie Ellingson Senior Seminar: History 499 Professor Bau-Hwa Hsieh Western Oregon University June 8, 2007 Readers Professor Kimberly Jensen Professor John L. Rector Copyright © Lahia Ellingson, 2007 On December 8, 1941, just hours after having attacked the United States’ fleet on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese army turned their attention toward another American stronghold, the forces stationed on the Philippines. Here the Japanese attacked Clark Field, an American airbase on the island of Luzon.1 The subsequent battle and surrender that ensued has become known as “…the worst defeat yet suffered by the United States, a source of national humiliation.”2 With all of the confusion and horror that happened to the men in the Philippines it is hard to understand where blame should be placed. Was it General Douglas MacArthur, the Commanding General in the Philippines at the time? Or were there other factors such as war in Europe and conflicting beliefs on how best to defend the Philippines that led to the defeat? Historians have debated MacArthur’s role in the Philippines for some time. There are those who believe that MacArthur should be held accountable for the fall of the Philippines and those who see him as a commanding general who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. In this paper it will be argued that MacArthur’s actions in the Philippines prior to his escape to Australia hastened the fall of the Philippines, which led to more death and brutality at the hands of the Japanese.
