  • Historic Resources Survey, Hollywood Redevelopment Project Area Historic Districts, Planning Districts, and Multi‐Property Resources – 01/28/20
    Historic Resources Survey, Hollywood Redevelopment Project Area Historic Districts, Planning Districts, and Multi‐Property Resources – 01/28/20 Districts Name: De Longpre Park Residential Historic District Description: The De Longpre Park Residential Historic District is a concentration of pre‐World War II residences in central Hollywood. The district is flat and moderate in size. It encompasses an irregularly shaped area that is generally bounded by Leland Way on the north, Fountain Avenue and Homewood Avenue on the south, Hudson and Wilcox avenues on the east, and Cherokee Avenue on the west. The district is primarily composed of small, modest, single‐family residences that were built between the very early 20th century and the 1920s. These houses are sited on deep, narrow lots, and are one (and occasionally two) stories in height. They are designed in a variety of architectural styles that were popular at the time; the American Colonial Revival, Craftsman, and Spanish Colonial Revival styles are the most common, though some of the earlier houses exhibit characteristics of Late Victorian era styles. Common architectural features include flat or moderately pitched roofs with projecting eaves, exposed rafters, and eave returns; clay tile trim and coping (on Spanish Colonial Revival houses); front porches with articulated supports; wood clapboard and stucco wall cladding; and multi‐light wood windows. Many houses feature a detached garage or ancillary building at the rear of the lot. Common alterations include the replacement of original doors, windows, and wall cladding, and the addition of security bars and perimeter fences. Interspersed between these houses are a handful of multi‐family dwellings that generally complement the neighborhood’s scale and character, as well as a few examples of larger‐scale multi‐family properties – mostly apartment houses – that were built after World War II and do not contribute to the district.

  • Regionl Connector Transit Corridor Draft DEIS/DEIR
    Regional Connector Transit Corridor Cultural Resources – Built Environment Technical Memorandum were designed to legally and financially assist cities to address problems of decay and neglect within their communities. In response to this new legislation, the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA) was established in 1948, in part to cure economic "blight" by funding and overseeing redevelopment. As its first major project, the CRA sought to improve the Bunker Hill area, which had been one of the more exclusive residential neighborhoods at the turn of the twentieth century but had deteriorated and fallen out of fashion. Despite many proposals, plans to redevelop Bunker Hill were rejected, and ultimately not begun until the 1960s, when large hotels and Victorian-era homes were bulldozed and the landforms were rearranged. Slowly, over the past 50 years, a community of high-rises has been constructed in their place (Kawaratani 2008). When the Harbor Freeway (Interstate-110) was completed in 1952, it was hopefully called “downtown’s new Main Street” by noted local architect A. C. Martin, Jr. (Los Angeles Times 1967). Construction of the freeway and the repeal of the building height ordinance in 1954 created a significant new concentration of high- and midrise buildings, eventually concentrated on Figueroa and 7th Streets. The downtown civic center began to take shape in the post-war era. As discussed in California: A Land of Contrast: Business blocks of the late nineteenth century have been replaced by the Civic Center, whose buildings, most of contemporary design, are flanked by multi-acre parking lots. The Civic Center has encroached westward upon Bunker Hill, once occupied by the city’s wealthier residents and now experiencing impressive [redevelopment] (Lantis, et al.

  • The Artist Creating a 150-Foot-Long Glass Rainbow
    The Artist Creating a 150-Foot-Long Glass Rainbow nytimes.com/2019/02/07/t-magazine/sarah-cain-san-francisco-airport.html By Alice Newell-Hanson February 6, 2019 The first paintings that Sarah Cain remembers admiring as a teenager were works by Joan Mitchell, Philip Guston and Robert Motherwell which, thanks to a public arts fund, lined the walls of an otherwise dismal underground mall in Albany, N.Y., not far from where she grew up, in Kinderhook. “My parents didn’t really take me to museums, so that is where I saw the first real art, mixed in with shops and a McDonald’s,” says Cain, who is now 40 and an established artist herself. In July, she will unveil a major public work of her own, a 150-foot-long series of 37 vividly colorful stained-glass windows, funded by the San Francisco Arts Commission, which she hopes will inspire passers-by in an equally unlikely setting: the new AirTrain terminal at the city’s international airport. Cain lived in San Francisco for 10 years in the late 1990s and early 2000s; she studied art at the San Francisco Art Institute, and later Berkeley, then stayed in the area, making ephemeral large-scale paintings inside the abandoned buildings where her artist friends squatted. The San Francisco airport installation, her first permanent public work, channels the outsider ethos of 1/3 those early pieces as well as the rainbow-colored prismatic compositions of her more recent paintings and drawings, but stained glass is a relatively new medium for her.

It is located between the planning communities of Harbor Gateway, San Pedro, and the Port of Los Angeles, and adjacent to the cities of Torrance, Lomita, Rancho Palos Verdes, Carson, Long Beach, and an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County. The Wilmington-Harbor City CPA is generally bounded by the Sepulveda Boulevard, Normandie Avenue, Lomita Boulevard, the Los Angeles City boundary, Los Angeles Harbor, Harry Bridges Boulevard, John Gibson Boulevard, Taper Avenue, and Western Avenue. The Wilmington-Harbor City CPA contains approximately 6,481 net acres. Most of the topography is level except for a small amount of varied, hillside terrain located in the southwest portion of the Plan area, adjacent to Rancho Palos Verdes. The land use consists primarily of low to low-medium density residential, with commercial uses concentrated near the transit corridors of Pacific Coast Highway, Anaheim Street, and Avalon Boulevard.

  • Located in the Heart of Beverly Hills As the Cornerstone of the Golden
    Located in the heart of Beverly Hills as the cornerstone of the golden triangle, the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (The Wallis) officially opens its doors to the public on October 15-18, 2013 with a dedication ceremony and a series of Galas, followed by programming beginning November 8 with the Martha Graham Dance Company. This new venue transforms a Beverly Hills city block, facing Santa Monica Boulevard, between Crescent and Canon Drives, into the first performing arts center to be built there: a vibrant arts destination and a major cultural and education hub for audiences of every age, with two distinct, elegant buildings: the renovated historic 1934 Italianate-style Beverly Hills Post Office and the new, contemporary 500-seat, state-of-the-art Bram Goldsmith Theater. Together these two structures embrace the city’s history and future, creating a new artistic and visual landmark, and an entryway into Beverly Hills’ fabled shopping district. Within the treasured Post Office, existing spaces are transformed into the 150-seat Lovelace Studio Theater, a theater school for young people (opening in 2014), a café and gift shop. For its Inaugural Season, The Wallis will produce and present theater, music and dance, as well as programming for the family audience, with the participation of established stage artists Mark Brokaw, Leonard Foglia, Ricky Ian Gordon, Frederica von Stade, Maurice Hines, Marsha Norman, Jason Robert Brown, Emma Rice, Harry Gregson- Williams, and the Kneehigh Theater. The Wallis will enhance the live theatre experience through special exhibitions that will reveal another layer meaning to a show or presentation.
