Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) (continued): The subject property at 3244 Dumas Street is a Spanish Colonial/Eclectic style single family residence. The home has an asymmetrical façade and a compound rectangular floor plan. The mixture of varying heights and roof types along with the varied front façade break up the massing of this single family home. The home has a red clay mission tile roof with wooden rafter tails seen just beneath the eaves. An inset central porch entryway is visible on the front façade. The lot has a slight grade change of approximately 2-3 feet from the front sidewalk down to the rear portion of the home. An attached double garage wing with a flat roof and balcony sits at the rear of the corner of the lot is original as seen on Sanborn maps. The front façade gable is topped by a deep inset round attic vent, sometimes called a roundel, which is matched on the rear facing gable. Decorative wooden shutters and wrought iron pot holders are seen on the upper level. Projecting upper level rooms are seen on the front (southwest) and side (southeast) elevations supported by decorative wooden brackets. The central inset covered front porch entry has matching decorative wooden brackets and a flared stucco door reveal. A large segmented arched window opening focal window is also seen on the front elevation. Various decorative window grilles are seen around the home on the primary and secondary elevations and utilize wooden spindles and stucco privacy grille work openings. A large stucco end chimney is seen on the secondary elevation. Sets of three pane wood casement are the main windows seen around the home. Some windows have been replaced in-kind in 2002 as part of the Quieter Home Program (see Attachment A.4). Unless noted, all windows and doors retain the original soft inset stucco reveal. The one story resource features a cross gabled front façade and low pitched mission red fired tile roof with minimal eave overhang and decorative rafter tails. The rear two car garage is covered by a flat roof with parapet and wrought iron pot holders matching those seen on the front façade. The home features stucco wall surfacing and blue painted wood detailing throughout. The home has the characteristic defining architectural features of the Spanish Colonial / Eclectic style, including the asymmetrical façade, low pitched red tile roof, eaves with minimal overhangs, stucco surfacing, and use of arches, especially the large arched focal window. The home has a hand troweled irregular stucco exterior surfacing seen on all façades. Windows and doors are blue painted wood unless otherwise noted. The resource is positioned squarely on a rectangular corner lot on Dumas Street which runs diagonally from northwest down to southeast. This Spanish Eclectic, also known as the Spanish Colonial Revival style, became popular in 1915 with the creation of the California pavilion and other buildings for the Panama California Exposition in San Diego. At the Exposition, architect Bertram Goodhue built upon earlier Mission Revival styles and added a more varied and accurate representation of original 16th century Spanish buildings. This romantic, sophisticated style borrowed from a broader rich vocabulary of Moorish, Spanish Baroque, Renaissance and Mediterranean architectural traditions with detailing often based on actual prototypes in Spain. Bertram Goodhue also designed the Naval Training Center and Marine Corps Recruit Depot in 1922- 1923 in Loma Portal which greatly influenced the housing designs and styles of Point Loma. The San Diego Exposition, NTC designs along with Goodhue and other designers, publicized and promoted the style's popularity. It would grow to became a craze in California in around 1925. Southwest (Front) Elevation – Visible on the right, just below the second floor front facing gable roofline, is the recessed round attic vent. This decorative metal vent is deeply inset into the stucco to give it the wall the appearance of thick adobe style construction. This deep reveal attic vent is sometimes called a roundel and was a favored architectural detail used by Pasadena based builder the Bathrick Brothers and other Spanish Eclectic builders and architects which simulated thick masonry construction. 5 State of California The Resources Agency Primary # DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial Page 5 of 55 *Resource Name or #: #: The Minnie Scheibe / Bathrick Brothers Speculation House *Recorded by: Ronald V.

The majority of the development planned at NTC appears to be generally consistent with •• the Chapter 3 policies of the Coastal Act. However, as proposed, the LCP lacks explicit policies that ensure that future development on the site, in whatever form is eventually approved, will conform with the resource protection, public access, visual protection, public recreation and visitor-serving policies of the Coastal Act. Therefore, staff is recommending substantial revisions to the plan to add detailed, specific policy language and goals regarding the protection of natural resources, visual resources, and public access and recreation. Suggested modifications address the provision and protection of view corridors, impose limitations on the height of new development in the office/research and development portion of the planning area, require the provision of adequate parking areas, a parking management plan, and transit provisions, increase plan provisions regarding pedestrian orientation and public access to the boat channel, limit uses in biological sensitive areas, and require the provision of additional public.

  • Casa Del Prado in Balboa Park
    Chapter 19 HISTORY OF THE CASA DEL PRADO IN BALBOA PARK Of buildings remaining from the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, exhibit buildings north of El Prado in the agricultural section survived for many years. They were eventually absorbed by the San Diego Zoo. Buildings south of El Prado were gone by 1933, except for the New Mexico and Kansas Buildings. These survive today as the Balboa Park Club and the House of Italy. This left intact the Spanish-Colonial complex along El Prado, the main east-west avenue that separated north from south sections The Sacramento Valley Building, at the head of the Plaza de Panama in the approximate center of El Prado, was demolished in 1923 to make way for the Fine Arts Gallery. The Southern California Counties Building burned down in 1925. The San Joaquin Valley and the Kern-Tulare Counties Building, on the promenade south of the Plaza de Panama, were torn down in 1933. When the Science and Education and Home Economy buildings were razed in 1962, the only 1915 Exposition buildings on El Prado were the California Building and its annexes, the House of Charm, the House of Hospitality, the Botanical Building, the Electric Building, and the Food and Beverage Building. This paper will describe the ups and downs of the 1915 Varied Industries and Food Products Building (1935 Food and Beverage Building), today the Casa del Prado. When first conceived the Varied Industries and Food Products Building was called the Agriculture and Horticulture Building. The name was changed to conform to exhibits inside the building.

  • Inspired by Mexico: Architect Bertram Goodhue Introduces Spanish Colonial Revival Into Balboa Park
    Inspired by Mexico: Architect Bertram Goodhue Introduces Spanish Colonial Revival into Balboa Park By Iris H.W. Engstrand G. Aubrey Davidson’s laudatory address to an excited crowd attending the opening of the Panama-California Exposition on January 1, 1915, gave no inkling that the Spanish Colonial architectural legacy that is so familiar to San Diegans today was ever in doubt. The buildings of this exposition have not been thrown up with the careless unconcern that characterizes a transient pleasure resort. They are part of the surroundings, with the aspect of permanence and far-seeing design...Here is pictured this happy combination of splendid temples, the story of the friars, the thrilling tale of the pioneers, the orderly conquest of commerce, coupled with the hopes of an El Dorado where life 1 can expand in this fragrant land of opportunity. G Aubrey Davidson, ca. 1915. ©SDHC #UT: 9112.1. As early as 1909, Davidson, then president of the Chamber of Commerce, had suggested that San Diego hold an exposition in 1915 to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal. When City Park was selected as the site in 1910, it seemed appropriate to rename the park for Spanish explorer Vasco Nuñez de Balboa, who had discovered the Pacific Ocean and claimed the Iris H. W.

    The Journal of San Diego History SAN DIEGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY Winter 1990, Volume 36, Number 1 Thomas L. Scharf, Editor The Making of the Panama-California Exposition, 1909-1915 by Richard W. Amero Researcher and Writer on the history of Balboa Park Images from this article On July 9, 1901, G. Aubrey Davidson, founder of the Southern Trust and Commerce Bank and Commerce Bank and president of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, said San Diego should stage an exposition in 1915 to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal. He told his fellow Chamber of Commerce members that San Diego would be the first American port of call north of the Panama Canal on the Pacific Coast. An exposition would call attention to the city and bolster an economy still shaky from the Wall Street panic of 1907. The Chamber of Commerce authorized Davidson to appoint a committee to look into his idea.1 Because the idea began with him, Davidson is called "the father of the exposition."2 On September 3, 1909, a special Chamber of Commerce committee formed the Panama- California Exposition Company and sent articles of incorporation to the Secretary of State in Sacramento.3 In 1910 San Diego had a population of 39,578, San Diego County 61,665, Los Angeles 319,198 and San Francisco 416,912. San Diego's meager population, the smallest of any city ever to attempt holding an international exposition, testifies to the city's extraordinary pluck and vitality.4 The Board of Directors of the Panama-California Exposition Company, on September 10, 1909, elected Ulysses S.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission February 28, 1967, Number 4 LP-0416 CHURCH OF ST. VINCENT FERRER, 869 Lexington Avenue, Borough of Manhattan. Completed 1918; architect Bertram G. Goodhue. Landnark"Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1400, Lot 20 in part, consisting of the land on which the described building is situated. On November 10, 1966 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Church of st. Vincent Ferrer and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site. (Item No. 35). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. One witness spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Impressively monumental in scale, this outstanding architectural achievement was considered by Bertram Goodhue, the architect, to be his best work in the ecclesiastical field. st. Vincent Ferrer is designed on a Latin Cross plan in the Gothic Style and built of random ashlar and dressed limestone. Its architectural detail and sculpture, particularly the Crucifixion panel over the entrance portal by sculptor Lee Lawrie, are equal to comparable work found on European cathedrals. The Great Rose window at the west end of the nave is composed of intricate stone tracery, a series of conjoined trefoils. It displays some of the most beautiful stained glass· in this country. Above the great arch of the rose window connecting the two octagonal towers which rise above the massive buttresses flanking the entrance portal, the Apostle Arcade,bere called the Great Galler~ is a handsome crowning feature.
