First, the majority of the themes and property types significant in military history in Los Angeles are covered under other contexts and themes of the citywide historic context statement as indicated in the “Introduction” below. Second, many of the city’s military resources are already designated City Historic-Cultural Monuments and/or are listed in the National Register.1 Finally, with the exception of air raid sirens, a small number of military-related resources were identified as part of SurveyLA and, as such, did not merit development of full narrative themes and eligibility standards.

  • FRED F. FRENCH BUILDING, 551 Fifth Avenue, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission March 18, 1986; Designation List 184 LP-1415 FRED F. FRENCH BUILDING, 551 Fifth Avenue, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1926-27; architects: H. Douglas Ives and Sloan & Robertson. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1281, Lot 1 On January 11, 1983, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Fred F. French Building ann the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 10). The hearing was continued to February 8, 1983 (Item No. 5) Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A total of seven witnesses spoke in favor of designation. The Commission has received several letters ann other expressions of support in favor of this designation. One letter was written in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Located on the northeast corner of 45th Street and Fifth Avenue, the Fred F. French Building was constructed in 1926-27 as corporate headquarters for the prominent real estate firm of the same name. A proto­ Art Deco design, with strong Near Eastern influences, it represents the stylistic compromise between lingering historicism and the modernistic trends that typified the architecture of the late 1920s. The Near Eastern allusion is enhanced by a dramatic series of setbacks. Although mandated by the Building Code of 1916, these wedding cake-like tiers found a romantic corollary in Assyrian ziggurats. The setbacks taper off to a lofty terraced tower which enriches the midtown skyline with iconographic bas-reliefs, Mesopota~ian in both their imagery and execution in richly colored faience.

    GC 1323 Historic Sites Surveys Repository: Seaver Center for Western History Research, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Span Dates: 1974-1996, bulk 1974-1978 Conditions Governing Use: Permission to publish, quote or reproduce must be secured from the repository and the copyright holder Conditions Governing Access: Research is by appointment only Source: Surveys were compiled by Tom Sitton, former Head of History Department, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Background: In 1973, the History Department of the Natural History Museum was selected to conduct surveys of Los Angeles County historic sites as part of a statewide project funded through the National Preservation Act of 1966. Tom Sitton was appointed project facilitator in 1974 and worked with various historical societies to complete survey forms. From 1976 to 1977, the museum project operated through a grant awarded by the state Office of Historic Preservation, which allowed the hiring of three graduate students for the completion of 500 surveys, taking site photographs, as well as to help write eighteen nominations for the National Register of Historic Places (three of which were historic districts). The project concluded in 1978. Preferred Citation: Historic Sites Surveys, Seaver Center for Western History Research, Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Special Formats: Photographs Scope and Content: The Los Angeles County historic site surveys were conducted from 1974 through 1978. Compilation of data for historic sites continued beyond 1978 until approximately 1996, by way of Sitton's efforts to add application sheets prepared for National Register of Historic Places nominations. These application forms provide a breadth of information to supplement the data found on the original survey forms.

  • Request for Evaluation
    REQUEST FOR EVALUATION Address: 445 PARK AVENUE Location: Block 1311 Lot 1 Name: 445 Park Avenue Architect: Kahn & Jacobs Constructed: 1946-1947 Summary: The first post-war office building on Park Avenue – and the first fully air-conditioned commercial structure in New York City – 445 Park Avenue set the stage for future development along Park Avenue. The prominent architecture firm Kahn & Jacobs, architects of the Landmarked Municipal Asphalt Plant (1941-44), designed this building. The rectilinear glass and limestone structure, with its dark granite base, is composed of four setbacks, adhering to the 1916 zoning law. Continuous ribbon windows and limestone spandrel panels give the building a sleekness in stark contrast to its contemporary buildings. Lever Brothers Company, Schweppes, Ford Motor Company, Monsanto Chemical Company, and Universal Pictures Corporation all leased space in the structure in the 1940s. 1 REQUEST FOR EVALUATION Address: 450 PARK AVENUE Location: Block 1292 Lot 37 Name: former Franklin National Bank Building Architect: Emery Roth & Sons Constructed: 1968-1972 Summary: This 33-story skyscraper has been called “the handsomest black skyscraper in the city.” 450 Park Avenue served as the headquarters of the Franklin National Bank from 1972-74, and its sleek black façade and dark glass set it apart from other structures on Park Avenue, especially those designed by Emery Roth & Sons in the previous decades.
