Bundy House, 401 25Th Street Landmark Assessment Report Bundy House, 401 25th Street Landmark Assessment Report Santa Monica, CA 90402 Prepared for: City of Santa Monica Planning & Community Development Department 1685 Main Street, Room 212 Santa Monica, CA 90401 Prepared by: Architectural Resources Group, Inc. Architects, Planners & Conservators 8 Mills Place, Suite 300 Pasadena, CA 91105 April 23, 2014 Bundy House, 401 25th Street Landmark Assessment Report Page 2 1. Introduction At the request of the City of Santa Monica’s Planning and Community Development Department, Architectural Resources Group, Inc. (ARG) has prepared this Landmark Assessment Report for 401 25th Street (Bundy House) in Santa Monica, Los Angeles County. Constructed in 1913, the two‐story American Colonial Revival style residence was built for and originally occupied by husband‐and‐wife Thomas Clark Bundy and May Sutton Bundy. Thomas C. Bundy was a champion tennis player‐turned‐developer whose ventures in real estate helped shape portions of the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles’ Westside; May S. Bundy was also a champion tennis player who broke numerous records and was a female sports celebrity for several decades in the 20th century. ARG evaluated the residence to determine whether it satisfies one or more of the six statutory criteria associated with City of Santa Monica Landmark eligibility, pursuant to Chapter 9.36 (Landmarks and Historic Districts Ordinance) of the Santa Monica Municipal Code. Completion of this assessment involved a site visit and visual inspection of the building’s exterior on April 10, 2014; compilation and review of historical building permits obtained from the City’s Planning and Community Development Department; archival research conducted at the Santa Monica Public Library and various online repositories; development of applicable historic contexts and themes; and evaluation of eligibility under Santa Monica Landmark criteria. This report was prepared by ARG staff Katie E. Horak, Senior Associate and Architectural Historian and Preservation Planner, and Andrew Goodrich, Architectural Historian and Preservation Planner, both of whom meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for Architectural History and History. In summary, ARG finds that 401 25th Street appears to satisfy three of the six eligibility criteria due to its association with the developmental and architectural history of Santa Monica; its association with historically‐significant individuals; and as a well‐articulated and highly‐representative example of American Colonial Revival residential architecture. The following sections provide a contextual basis for analysis and a detailed discussion of how this determination was made. 2. Architectural Description 2.1 Site and Setting 401 25th Street is located in northeast Santa Monica at the southeast corner of 25th Street and Carlyle (originally Loomis) Avenue, one block from Santa Monica’s eastern city boundary. The subject property is in an established residential neighborhood composed of one and two‐story single‐family residences, most of which are designed in one of several Period Revival styles and were constructed prior to World War II. Interspersed between these older homes are several single family residences that are of more recent construction and thereby embody a more contemporary aesthetic; most of these newer residences are compatible with adjacent older homes in terms of massing and scale. With few exceptions, homes within the neighborhood are uniformly set back from the public‐right‐of‐way and are buffered from the street by broad landscaped parkways, which are planted with mature shade trees Architectural Resources Group, Inc. Architects, Planners, & Conservators Bundy House, 401 25th Street Landmark Assessment Report Page 3 spaced at regular intervals. The neighborhood adheres to Santa Monica’s skewed orthogonal street network and is divided into a series of rectilinear blocks that are roughly uniform in size and shape. One of the earliest properties to be constructed in the vicinity, 401 25th Street is situated on a large corner parcel, which measures twice the width of adjacent parcels and is one of the largest single lots in the neighborhood. Perimeter and retaining walls span the front and back yards and delineate the parcel’s north and west boundaries from the public‐right‐of‐way. Other single‐family residences are located to the immediate south and east of the property. Site map. The subject property, 401 25th Street, is outlined in red. Aerial imagery courtesy maps.google.com 2.2 Building Exterior Positioned at the center of the subject parcel is a 4,584‐square‐foot single‐family residence that was constructed in 1913 and designed in the American Colonial Revival style, a popular choice for residential architecture in the first half of the twentieth century. The two‐story residence is oriented to the west and faces 25th Street. Originally L‐shaped in plan, the house now features an irregular footprint due to additions that were appended to its secondary elevations. The residence is constructed of wood frame and sits on a concrete foundation. Exterior walls are clad with horizontal wood siding of alternating widths. The residence is capped by a medium‐pitched hipped roof that is clad with composition shingles and features boxed eaves, a vented soffit, a simple frieze board, and a dentilled cornice. Projecting from the roof are two exterior chimneys: the first is located on the side (south) elevation and is clad with the Architectural Resources Group, Inc. Architects, Planners, & Conservators Bundy House, 401 25th Street Landmark Assessment Report Page 4 same wood siding that sheathes the house’s exterior walls, and the second is located on the rear (east) elevation and is clad with smooth stucco. The building’s primary (west) façade is balanced and symmetrical. Positioned at its center is an accentuated portico that is framed by paneled pilasters and crowned with a molded entablature and triangular pediment. Set within an arched opening is a single paneled wood door that is flanked on either side by a pair of multi‐light wood casement windows, which function as sidelights. Both the door and adjacent casement windows are encompassed by a paneled surround. In front of the portico is a partial‐width porch that is partially enclosed by a low wall clad with horizontal wood siding. Both the porch and portico are accessed by a central walkway that bisects the front lawn and is composed of slate pavers. This walkway is punctuated by two sets of steps, both of which are also clad with slate and flanked by simple wrought iron handrails. Fenestration on the primary façade is symmetrically composed. Located on either side of the primary entrance on the ground story is a single fixed wood window that is topped by a multi‐light transom and features a decorative wood surround that emulates the appearance of shutters. On the second story, positioned directly above each fixed ground story window, is a single double‐hung wood window with a multi‐light upper sash, a decorative wood surround, and a projecting sill that is supported by brackets. Between these two upper‐story windows is a band of five casement windows with leaded glass and a continuous sill. Side (north and south) elevations include a combination of casement and double‐hung wood windows, most of which are symmetrically composed. On the ground story of the north elevation is a projecting squared bay, which features three pairs of multi‐light wood casement windows and a single multi‐light fixed wood window on either side. Positioned above the bay are five adjacent double‐hung wood windows with multi‐light upper sashes and decorative wood surrounds. On the ground story of the south elevation is an offset canted bay composed of three double‐hung wood windows with multi‐light upper sashes. To the west of the canted bay is a single multi‐light wood casement window set within a recessed opening. On the second story of the south elevation are four multi‐light wood casement windows. The rear (east) side of the south elevation jogs inward and is not visible from the public‐right‐ of‐way. The rear (east) elevation features a single‐story projection that is capped by a gently‐pitched hipped roof clad with composition shingles. A portion of this projection is capped by a second‐story balcony that is accessed by multi‐light wood doors. On the north side of the rear elevation is a wood trellis supported by simple wood posts. Fenestration on the rear elevation appears to consist of a combination of French doors and multi‐light wood casement windows; however, visibility of this elevation from the public‐ right‐of‐way was largely obscured by mature foliage and a perimeter wall. Near the southeast corner of the subject property is a two‐story ancillary building that houses a garage on the ground story and residential space on the upper story. This building is set far back from the street and is attached to the rear elevation of the main residence. Constructed in 1989, the ancillary building emulates the architectural vocabulary of the main residence through its simple, symmetrical massing; horizontal wood siding; composition shingle‐clad pyramidal hipped roof with boxed eaves; and dentilled cornice. The ground story is occupied by a two‐car garage bay with a metal roll‐up door; symmetrically Architectural Resources Group, Inc. Architects, Planners, & Conservators Bundy House, 401 25th Street Landmark Assessment Report Page 5 positioned above the garage bay are three adjacent double‐hung wood windows with multi‐light upper sashes. The ancillary building is approached by a narrow driveway clad with pavers. Landscape features of note include a gently‐sloping front lawn that is slightly elevated from the public right of way and supported by a concrete retaining wall, mature shade trees, and a variety of flowering plants and shrubs. Spanning the north edge of the property is a concrete perimeter wall that is almost entirely covered by vines.

British claims to have played the predominant role in the origins and growth of lawn tennis rested on four main pillars. This quartet of general factors has been widely discussed in accounts of the early history of the game, but each is sufficiently important to merit brief attention before turning the spotlight on the individual trailblazers, the men and women who became the sport’s first star performers. In the first place, while there are differing views as to who should be credited with ‘inventing’ lawn tennis, there is common agreement that it emerged among the affluent sections of British society in the mid- to late- Victorian period. A game known as pelota emerged in the Midlands at the behest of Major Harry Gem and his Spanish-born friend Augurio Pereira, both keen players of the ancient sport of rackets, though even after they formed a lawn rackets club at Royal Leamington Spa the game appeared to spread little beyond its immediate environs. The chief pioneer of the modern variant of lawn tennis, meanwhile, is widely considered to be Walter Clopton Wingfield, a retired army officer who served in India and China.

  • Introduction All Available Tennis History
    Introduction All available tennis history books tackle tennis history unevenly in two main respects. They usually give very little information on the pre-1919 years and do not give enough weight to professional tennis before 1968. I decided to overcome these limitations in my book by devoting one page for each year starting from 1877. Each page contains a short summary of the major events in that particular year, with scores of classic matches given in detail; and year-end rankings in tabulated form that show the performance of the top players at the major events. As the greatest novelty of this work I have provided year-end rankings for the whole course of tennis history. These include each year the Top 8 players (with their nationality and age indicated) and (separated by a dividing line) additional winners of the listed major events. Although from 1973 and 1975 there are official computer rankings by the ATP and WTA, respectively, their main purpose is to have an order of admittance to tournaments and facilitate seeding. Opinions differ as to the credibility of such computer lists for other purposes. The calculation methods often changed during their history, and they did not take into account important tournaments (like the year-ending championships till 1990) and team competitions (like Davis Cup till 2009). Prior to the use of the computer, rankings were a matter of judgement made by tennis journalists. I feel that even after the introduction of computer lists, the opinion of leading journalists represent a better guide to the future historian of how the players stood in relation to each other.
