The Grether & Grether Building is an exceptional example of architect John Montgomery Cooper's design work, incorporating the office and retail requirements of a mercantile building at its front with the industrial aesthetic of a manufacturing building at its rear. Constructed for the Grether & Grether dry goods wholesale merchant company, the building is significant for its association with Walter Grether, whose work as president and founder of the Wholesale Institute helped establish Los Angeles as a major center of manufacturing in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s. Additionally, the building is significant for its association with Gilbert Stanley Underwood and Daniel Hull, whose office in the building served as de-facto National Park Service regional headquarters during the pivotal period of planning and development for the buildings and landscape of several National Parks, including the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite (1927). While simultaneously working for concessionaire firms, railroads, and the National Park Service, Hull and Underwood set the precedent of subordinating man-made elements to the natural material and topography, arriving at the apex of the Rustic style with their designs. Working from their office in Los Angeles, where fantasy architectural styles flourished, Hull and Underwood defined the romanticist National Park aesthetic. Therefore, the building meets the criteria of the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Ordinance and should be recoqnlzed as a Historic-Cultural Monument.

Present physical description For the purposes of this description, the northeast will be treated as north, the southeast will be treated as east, the southwest will be treated as south, and the northwest will be treated as west. Exterior The Grether & Grether Building is located at 730 S. Los Angeles Street in Los Angeles, California. The building sits on a parallelogram-shaped parcel located on the east side of Los Angeles Street, 1h between E. yth Street to the north and E. 8 Street to the south. Designed in a simplified interpretation of the Chicago School style, the six-story, reinforced concrete building is rectangular at its ground floor, occupying the entirety of its lot, and T-shaped from the second through sixth floors. At the primary west facade, the top of the T reaches the lot lines to touch buildings at 724 S. Los Angeles Street to the north and 738 S. Los Angeles Street to the south. Brass letters embedded in the concrete sidewalk mark the frontage of the building along S. Los Angeles Street (see photo 15). The base of the T forms light wells along the lot lines, extending to an alley-like private open space (alley) along the rear, eastern side of the parcel. The building reaches the edges of its lot at the ground level along the rear alley. The primary facade is organized in a typical Chicago School base-shalt-capital arrangement (see photos 1 and 2). The facade is symmetrical and divided into five bays. At the "base" level, comprising the ground and second floors, it is sheathed in cast stone painted a cream color to mimic terra cotta or natural stone. The primary entrance is located in the center bay and features a decorative painted cast stone door surround with segmental arch framing a transom opening above a contemporary storefront The transom is boarded over, and fixed wood frame windows are extant behind the boarding. Flat, painted cast stone pilasters without capitals articulate each bay at the base. Four storefronts with brick bulkheads and metal roll-up doors occupy the outer bays of the ground floor. The storefront at the southernmost bay features an older wood frame glazed storefront with angled inset and brick bulkheads. Other storefronts have contemporary aluminum-frame, fully glazed surrounds. Above the storefronts are vertically oriented transoms, divided into four hopper, wood sash windows; transoms in the two southernmost bays are covered with board. A decorative frieze running between the ground and second floors features bas-relief balusters in each bay above a stringcourse of roses set in circles. Square panels with roses demarcate each bay between the balusters. A narrow cast stone stringcourse delineates the second floor from the third and the fifth floor from the sixth, framing the "shaft" of the Chicago School column arrangement. Facing at the upper floors is light brown unpainted brick. A metal fire escape extends from second floor to the roof at the southernmost bay. From the second through sixth floors, fenestration is wood sash Chicago windows with a fixed center pane flanked by single light, double-hung outer panes. The "capital" of the facade is a painted cast stone cornice with shallow acanthus-leave brackets spanning the top of the sixth floor. A cast stone sign with incised letters reading "GRETHER & GRETHER INC" interrupts the cornice and spans the entire center bay. The cornice is capped with a triangular parapet rising above the center bay. The secondary north, east, and south elevations are board-form concrete.

  • Conservationists and the Battles to Keep Dams out of Yellowstone: Hetch Hetchy Overturned
    Conservationists and the Battles to Keep Dams Out of Yellowstone: Hetch Hetchy Overturned Michael J. Yochim Abstract Between 1919 and 1938 irrigation interests in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming repeatedly tried to construct reservoirs in Yellowstone National Park by damming several large park lakes and Bechler Meadows. Conservationists of the time joined forces with Horace Albright and Steven Mather of the National Park Service to oppose the dams. Ultimately successful in all their efforts, their key victory came in 1923 when they defeated an attempt to dam Yellowstone Lake. This victory reversed the loss of protected status for national parks that had occurred just ten years earlier at Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park. By chronicling the protracted conflict over dams in Yellowstone, I illustrate that the conservationists (including Mather and Albright) reestablished the funda- mental preservation policy of the national parks and empowered the newly cre- ated National Park Service to carry out its mission of park protection. This effort was the key battle in proving national parks and wilderness to be inviolate to industrial, exploitive uses. Conservationists both defined and tested the inviolate policy in Yellowstone; their battles in Dinosaur National Monument and the Grand Canyon cemented it into place. Introduction Far off, there lies a lovely lake Which rests in beauty, there to take Swift pictures of the changing sky, Ethereal blues, and clouds piled high. When black the sky, when fall the rains, When blow fierce winds, her face remains Still beautiful, but agitate, Nor mirrors back their troubled state. Within a park this treasure lies, — Such region ne’er did man devise — The hand of Mighty God, alone, Could form the Park of Yellowstone.
