Giessinger, Preservation Architect Office of Historic Resources Office of Historic Resources [SIGNED ORIGINAL IN FILE] Shannon Ryan, City Planning Associate Office of Historic Resources Attachments: Historic-Cultural Monument Application CHC-2016-84-HCM 81 Fremont Place Page 2 of 3 SUMMARY The subject property is part of the Fremont Place residential park that was developed in 1911 on the western side of Los Angeles. Developers Charles Ingram, David Barry, and George Briggs envisioned an exclusive neighborhood filled with grand estates for those seeking privacy and/or status. The 50 acres were divided into expansive 200 foot by 200 foot lots. An advertisement for Fremont Place noted that no house would cost less than $7,500. At the time of the subdivision, this stretch of Los Angeles was considered far removed from the center of activity in downtown. The subject property was designed by Frank L. Meline in the Mediterranean style and built in 1919 for Colonel Louis Martin Koehler (1865-1924) of the U.S. Military and his wife Maude Anthony Koehler. Colonel Koehler was the second owner of the lot (the first was Ygnacio Ramon del Valle Jr.), but he was the first to build on it. The 4,912 square-foot, two-story house cost $20,000 to build in 1919. The subject property is associated with a second serviceman, Admiral Howard Fithian Kingman (1890-1968) of the U.S. Navy, who bought the property from Mrs. Koehler in 1950. Both men had long and impressive careers. The house appears very proportionate from the front with rectangular massing and slightly off- centered entry. The house is clad in smooth stucco and has a low pitched hipped roof with Mission tile. The fenestration includes wood double casement windows, double hung windows, and French doors. The front entrance is demarcated by a decorative cast stone surround that includes a military eagle, a likely nod to Colonel Koehler and his military career. A stucco chimney is visible emerging from the center of the house. An original flagpole remains extant in the front yard. While the front of the house appears very rectangular, the plan of the house is irregular with a rear portion extending out into the back yard. A garage with a chauffeur’s apartment above sits at the end of the driveway. Alterations include the addition of a porte-cochere and reconfiguration of the front walkway in 1950. More recent work from 2002 include combining what were the maid’s quarters into a family room, remodeling and expanding the kitchen, and adding square footage to the first floor of the north and rear facades. Frank L. Meline (1875-1944) was a contractor, designer, and real estate developer. Meline had experience working with architect Stiles O. Clements. Architect Wallace Neff worked under Meline for several years before he formed his own practice Some of Meline’s clients included P.G. Winnett, King Gillette, John Barrymore, and Dolores Costello. Meline is known for his designs for the Hollywood Fox Theater and Ruskin Art Club (HCM #639), as well as the development of Castellamare in Pacific Palisades. He worked in a variety of period revival styles and his company had multiple offices throughout greater Los Angeles. The citywide historic resources survey, SurveyLA, was unable to survey the gated community, but identified the development as likely to be significant as a streetcar suburb that was one of the earliest single-family residential developments in the Wilshire area. CRITERIA The criterion is the Cultural Heritage Ordinance which defines a historical or cultural monument as any site (including significant trees or other plant life located thereon) building or structure of particular historic or cultural significance to the City of Los Angeles, such as historic structures or sites in which the broad cultural, economic, or social history of the nation, State or community is reflected or exemplified, or which are identified with historic personages or with important CHC-2016-84-HCM 81 Fremont Place Page 3 of 3 events in the main currents of national, State or local history or which embody the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction, or a notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose individual genius influenced his age. FINDINGS Based on the facts set forth in the summary and application, the Commission determines that the application is complete and that the property may be significant enough to warrant further investigation as a potential Historic-Cultural Monument.

    Encased Quick Reference Maverick Index Provided by Bob Perdue with permission to post on the TokenCatalog.com website Users of the site are welcome to use this reference Permission has NOT been given for users to download or otherwise redistribute. Contact Bob Perdue with questions or requests for alternate uses. February 26, 2016 Introduction Back in the fall of 1995 Jerry Binsfeld began the Associated Collectors of Encased (ACE). One objective of ACE was to catalog all of the known encased in each state. When these state listings were completed there was to be a book printed containing these listings. ACE folded before this project was completed, but in its existence did manage to make public the known encased in many states. As with most other exonumia clubs a regular column was dedicated to the identification of maverick encased. It was thought that it would be most beneficial to have an index of maverick encased to correspond with the actual books of encased listings. The user then could refer to the index to find a maverick encased and then go to the appropriate state catalog to get complete listing information. I volunteered to catalog the maverick encased and this continued effort is a result of that initial project. Though ACE did cease to exist, the hobby of identifying maverick encased has been one that I have retained. There has been much added to the first published edition of this index. Many people have contributed in various ways, and you can find that information in acknowledgments. Using The Maverick Index This work will deal exclusively with the subject of encased maverick coins and so at the outset it might be a good idea to consider exactly what a maverick is.
