Construction History: (Construction date, alteration, and date of alterations)

Although building permits related to the subject site are limited, the following construction history is informed by available aerial photographs. The original oil terminal on this site, the Rio Grande Oil Terminal, was constructed in 1929, and included nine oil tanks, a wharf facility, and a series of gabled brick buildings both south and east of the tank grouping that supported the terminal’s operations. Aerial photographs reveal that between 1953 and 1956, four additional tanks were constructed within the fenced tank grouping. The original volume of the administration building on the site, near the current-day Pier B Street, and the gabled support building at the southern edge of the site were also constructed during this period. A second building along the southern edge of the site was built between 1972 and 1980, as was a metal- clad building south of the tank grouping. Building alterations associated with the c.1970-era expansion of the administration building appear to have included an eastern addition to the building, and extensions of the north and south façades to accommodate a new entrance and windows. Based on visual analysis, most of the original windows on the c.1929 brick building appear to have been replaced with non-original windows; however, the date of replacement is unknown. Security bars have been added to the north door at an unknown date. The roof appears to have been replaced at an unknown date. Between 2005 and 2009, domes were added on top of the original 1930s-era tanks within the site. The property contains other infrastructural elements that include a surface parking lot, fencing, lighting, pipelines, and associated elements that were constructed after 1972.

Historic Context The Port of Long Beach was dedicated in 1911. Occupying the area now known as the inner harbor, it offered an entry channel, three inner channels, a 1,400-foot turning basin, a single municipal pier, and limited water frontage (Queenan 1986:63-68; Port of Long Beach n.d.). Its fortuitous location adjacent to the Port of allowed Long Beach to develop a complementary facility with an early economy based on shipbuilding and repair, lumber transport, fishing and canning, and service to the . The Port’s development accelerated with the discovery of oil at Signal Hill in 1921 and at the Wilmington Oil Field in 1932, along with the Navy’s siting of the entire Pacific Fleet at Long Beach in 1932. Oil provided ongoing revenue for construction of a world-class harbor and established the city of Long Beach as a major oil and shipping center. Factories for Ford Motor Company and Proctor and Gamble opened at the Port in 1930. The Navy developed Terminal Island as a in 1940, and subsequently took command of the Port for the duration of World War II (Queenan 1986:82-116; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

*P3a. Description (continued):

The tanks store oil that is unloaded from tankers at adjacent wharf facilities (now known as Berth 76) in Channel No. 2, immediately to the south. Located between the tank farm and the wharf is an area of oil fueling infrastructure and two buildings: one small brick building that dates to the original construction of the site in 1929, and a corrugated metal-clad support building constructed between 1972 and 1980.

The one-story administration building (Figure 2) is a Mid-Century Modern-style building with a rectangular footprint and is approximately 100 feet wide and 110 feet long. The building is oriented parallel to the eastern edge of Channel 2. The primary façade faces north and contains two styles of brick: the majority of the façade is clad in red brick with a stretcher bond, while the northeast corner, which projects ahead of the primary façade plane, is clad in a variegated dark-colored brick with a soldier pattern. The main entrance is centered on the north façade and features fully glazed, double pedestrian doors, located in the center of architectural bays of fixed metal-frame windows that span the ground floor to a stucco band near the roof line. Fenestration consists of fixed windows. The east façade (Figure 3) and south façade have central rows of fixed windows rising half the height of the building. The west (rear) façade could not be inspected from the public right-of- way. The building’s roof is mostly flat; however, it contains a setback that aligns with the row of windows along the southern and eastern façades with wide overhangs. The address “1300-1350 Pier B St.” is located on the exterior of the stucco beam above the main entrance. Four shallow concrete steps lead to the main entrance. Security lighting is attached to the northwest corner of the building. A row of canopy trees aligns with the east façade, and minimal foundation plantings flank the primary entrance within brick-edged garden beds.

The two one-story buildings located at the southern edge of the parking lot (Figure 4), south of the administration building, were constructed prior to 1972; these buildings are obscured by a fence along Pier B Street. The eastern of these two buildings is side-gabled, rectangular in plan, and clad in stucco; it features a utilitarian architectural style. The roof, which is covered in composition asphalt shingles, extends over two entrances on the primary (north) façade; additional windows are sheltered by metal awnings. The western building in this location has an ‘L’ plan and flat roof. It appears utilitarian in architectural style and features a series of attached canopies and awnings. The function of these buildings within the oil terminal has not been determined.

The one and one-half-story c.1929 building located at the northeast corner of the site (Figure 5) was constructed in a restrained Classical Revival architectural style with a rectangular footprint and is approximately 30 feet wide and 50 feet long. The gabled roof is clad in non- original standing seam metal panels. Exterior walls are clad in red brick with an English bond. The primary façade faces south and features four brick pilasters: two form the corners of the façade, and two are evenly spaced within the center. The pilasters divide the façade into three bays. A parapet includes brick detailing. A circular opening is located within the gable and features a recessed pattern of brick laid with alternating air gaps, which appears to allow ventilation (Figure 6). This pattern is repeated on the north façade, although air conditioning units currently obscure the characteristics of the opening in the gable. Fenestration includes various fixed windows with mullions, and some appear to be original multi-lite windows. Some window openings on the east façade have been filled in with air conditioning units. Pipelines and associated infrastructure have been attached to and wrap around the central portion of the building.

14 cylindrical petroleum storage tanks comprise a tank farm within a fenced area at Berth 76, located on the north side of Channel 2. Two additional groupings of tanks lie to the west and are outside of the APE for the current study. The seven largest tanks, as well as two small tanks, appear to date to the original Rio Grande Oil Terminal in this location and were constructed c.1929. Four more tanks were in place by 1956. The final tank currently on the site was constructed c.1994. The tanks appear to represent standardized designs and are constructed of welded steel panels. The majority of the tanks feature domed roofs that were constructed between 2005 and 2009.

Between the tank grouping and the Channel No. 2 wharf are two buildings that support oil cargo loading and unloading (Figure 7). The eastern of these is a one-story, side-gabled brick building with rectangular plan. The building cannot be accessed from the public right-of- way for close inspection but appears to be constructed of brick and feature stylistic characteristics that are similar to the c.1929 brick building located to the east of the tank grouping. The western building adjacent to the wharf was constructed between 1972 and 1980 and features a rectangular plan and low-slope gabled roof. This utilitarian-style building is clad in corrugated metal panels and features a canopy spanning the front façade above the first story.

*B10. Significance (continued):

A booming postwar economy allowed Long Beach to enter world markets and remake its facilities to modern standards. The City effectively built a new port over the old between the late 1940s and the early 1970s, enabling Long Beach to serve the trends toward larger ships and containerization. As trade shifted to emerging markets on the Pacific Rim in the 1980s and 1990s, the Port expanded again, dredging to deepen the harbor while building new container terminals and using fill to create open land for movement and storage of containers and trucks. Additional rail facilities were introduced to serve a new land bridge system, allowing goods arriving by ship to be transferred onto

Since 2000, the Port has built a next generation of mega-piers and terminals to serve ever larger container vessels and the continually enlarging volume of cargo (Queenan 1986:123-155; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

Site History Prior to the construction of 1300-1350 Pier B Street as a marine oil terminal, the site appears to have remained largely undeveloped, as indicated by topographic maps dating to 1925 (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC. 1925). In 1929, the Rio Grande Oil Company began constructing a new $2 million marine oil terminal facility in the Port of Long Beach, comprising over 12 acres with capacity to store 500,000 barrels of oil—which reportedly would double the Port’s petroleum handling capacity. Dredging in Channel No. 2 during early 1929 marked the initial phase of the terminal’s construction (San Pedro News Pilot 1929a:5), and Rio Grande’s marine oil terminal on Channel No. 2 appears to have been operational by 1930. Construction of the oil terminal at Channel No. 2 occurred simultaneously with efforts to develop a separate such terminal at Channel No. 3 (San Pedro News Pilot 1928:16). The Rio Grande Oil Company’s oil terminals were not the first within the Port of Long Beach, and were constructed subsequent to the Richfield Oil Company’s $6,000,000 terminal constructed at Channel No. 3 beginning in 1925 (Madera Tribune 1925:3).

An early photograph of the terminal (Figure 8) shows the facility serving the oil Torres. North of the wharf was a grouping of brick support buildings, which include two brick buildings still extant; however, research did not reveal the extant buildings’ precise functions supporting the operations of the terminal. The core of the terminal facilities were the oil tanks located behind a fire wall so that they are physically separated from the brick support buildings.

The facilities were to serve both receiving and loading functions. That is, the terminal was constructed to store crude oil unloaded from tankers (primarily coming from the Ellwood Oil Field near Goleta) prior to being conveyed via pipelines out of the Port of Long Beach for processing in the Rio Grande’s refinery in Vinvale. Additionally, the marine oil terminal was equipped to load tankers with processed petroleum products for shipment to markets on the East Coast and abroad. The terminal contained one 118,000-gallon tank for each gasoline, fuel oil, and crude oil, along with four tanks designated for diesel oil and a series of smaller tanks. A 20-foot-high fire wall surrounded the tanks. (National Petroleum News 1929:33; San Pedro News Pilot 1929a:5; San Pedro News Pilot 1929b:3)

The marine oil terminal at Channel No. 2 operated under the auspices of the Rio Grande Oil Company until 1936, when the Rio Grande merged with the Richfield Oil Company. Richfield administered the terminal for the following three decades (Figure 9 and Figure 10). The company’s Long Beach facilities (including its terminal on Channel No. 3) are reported to have handled the greatest volume of oil for military uses of all similar terminals in the country during World War II (Long Beach Independent Press-Telegram 1964:4). Despite this frenzy of activity, aerial photographs indicate that the Channel No. 2 terminal did not undergo substantial improvements until the early 1950s, when the Port of Long Beach expanded its North Harbor area to include land located immediately west of the Richfield facility (Figure 11). Richfield subsequently leased an additional 18 acres from the Port, constructed a series of new oil storage tanks to the west, and began operating from Berths 77 to 80 in Channel No. 2 (Port of Long Beach 2005:38). (The 1950s-era storage tanks west of the 1300-1350 Pier B Street site are located on a separate legal parcel and are not within the APE of the current study.) The original volume of the administration building at 1300-1350 Pier B Street was constructed at approximately this time, likely intended to support the expanded operations of the terminal.

In 1957, the Richfield Oil Company discovered new oil sources in Alaska, which dramatically changed the trajectory of the company. At this time the company’s expanded Channel No. 2 facility comprised a total 2,400 feet of channel frontage, “the largest single stretch of dockage by any private concern” in the Port of Long Beach (Long Beach Independent Press-Telegram 1959:16). However, Richfield’s continued success fueled the need for additional physical growth in the Port. In 1961, the company completed a new marine oil terminal at Pier E (now Pier T), which offered modern loading and unloading equipment and a channel depth that accommodated the world’s largest oil supertankers (Port of Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners 1960:n.p.). In 1964, the company reported that its terminals in the Port of Long Beach handled a combined 3,700,000 barrels of crude oil each month and shipped the highest volume of petroleum-based products of all similar terminals in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Crude oil came not only from California and Alaska oil fields, but also from sources in the Middle East. Richfield’s harborside loading operations supported the company’s large Watson Refinery adjacent to Long Beach’s northwestern boundary (Long Beach Independent Press-Telegram 1964:4).

In 1966, the Richfield Oil Company merged with the Atlantic Refining Company, and the combined entity was named the Atlantic Richfield Company, or ARCO. A 1967 map of the Port identifies the oil terminal at Channel No. 2 as the Atlantic Richfield Company Marine Department (Port of Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners 1967:25). During the last quarter of the twentieth century, ARCO underwent a series of ownership changes; in 2013, the company was sold to Tesoro Logistics, which was renamed Andeavor in 2017. Andeavor was subsequently sold to Marathon Petroleum. Marathon operates the nearby Los Angeles Refinery (located west of the Dominguez Channel), which currently is the largest oil refinery on the West Coast. 1300-1350 Pier B Street continues to serve as a marine oil terminal for Marathon, although current signage identifies the site as the Tesoro Marine Terminal 2. The terminal is capable of loading and discharging up to 15,000 barrels of oil per hour and can accommodate three vessels at a time (Port of Long Beach 2019).

NRHP Evaluation of 1300-1350 Pier B Street The following section evaluates the subject property to determine whether it meets the eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as an individual resource. To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, a property must demonstrate significance under one or more of the following criteria:

• Criterion A (Events): Resources that are associated with events that have made a significance contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. • Criterion B (Persons): Resources that are associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history. • Criterion C (Design/Construction): Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values. • Criterion D (Information Potential): Resources that have yielded, or have the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.

Under NRHP Criterion A, the property at 1300-1350 Pier B Street is not associated with any event(s) significant in history. The Rio Grande Oil Company does not appear to have made specific significant contributions to the economy and development of the City of Long Beach or Port of Long Beach. At the time it operated the subject property between 1929 and 1936, the Rio Grande Oil Company was not the sole, or earliest, oil company operating a marine terminal in the Port of Long Beach; the Richfield Oil Company had constructed its own terminal at Channel No. 3 beginning in 1925, at considerably higher of an investment than the Rio Grande’s. Research did not reveal that the Rio Grande Oil Company’s oil terminal at Channel No. 2, the subject property, was a distinguished facility at the Port of Long Beach relative to other dockside facilities throughout the port. Although the property was notable for increasing the Rio Grande’s trade capacity to the eastern United States, this alone does not bestow significance because the Rio Grande Oil Company does not appear to have been an innovative or dominant player in the oil industry during this era. The terminal was incorporated into the Richfield Oil Company’s Port facilities following the companies’ 1936 merger, after which the subject property contributed to Richfield’s large-scale trade and military-related operations. Although the Channel No. 2 oil terminal was expanded during the 1950s, the property represents the continuation of its company’s operations rather than significant developments in the field of oil transportation. (Such significant developments may include the construction of new facilities to accommodate oil supertankers, which the Richfield Oil Company built in a separate terminal at Pier E in 1961.) As a result, it does not appear that the subject property is associated with events important to local, state, or national history. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion A.

Under NRHP Criterion B, the property at 1300-1350 Pier B Street lacks associative value with significant persons. The site has been used for oil cargo loading and unloading since its initial construction in 1929, during which time it has been owned and operated by a series of petroleum companies—including the Rio Grande Oil Company, Richfield Oil Company, and Atlantic Richfield Company. Although it is possible that individuals involved in the broad operations of these companies made important professional contributions to the petroleum industry, it does not appear that any such individual had a close association with the operations of the subject site. The marine oil terminal has furthermore been the place of employment for countless employees of the tenant companies, but no person working at the site appears to have made important contributions to local, state, or national history that is directly related to the operations of the marine oil terminal. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion B.

Under NRHP Criterion C, the property at 1300-1350 Pier B Street lacks distinctive architectural character and engineering value. The site contains buildings, structures, and other features that represent a range of construction dates and designs. The two oldest buildings on the site date to the terminal’s original construction c.1929: both have minimal elements of the Classical Revival architectural style (including symmetrical façade composition and pilasters), and neither is architecturally distinguished nor represents a noteworthy application of the style for industrial support buildings. Additionally, the 14 storage tanks on the site constructed between 1929 and 1990s feature welded steel construction and a standardized cylindrical design that is consistent with many other tanks built in numerous locations during the same period, such that the tanks do not appear to be early or influential examples of their type, or represent a notable advance in construction methods. The brick administration building, built in the mid-1950s and expanded in the 1970s, features some general aspects of the Mid- Century Modern style, including flat roof, cubic form with horizontal orientation, absence of applied ornamentation, and large window expanses. However, the incorporation of these basics aspects of the style does not equate to architectural significance, as the building is a typical expression of the style for a small-scale office building. The designer of the building has not been identified, but it does not appear to represent the work of a master or express high artistic value. The additional support buildings on within the site are utilitarian and lack identifiable architectural styles and distinctive characteristics that would represent high artistic values. Furthermore, due to the varying construction dates and designs of the built environment elements across 1300-1350 Pier B Street, the site lacks a unified and distinguished architectural character. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion C.

The property at 1300-1350 Pier B Street does not have the potential to provide significant information to support an understanding of prehistory or history, which most commonly applies to archaeological resources. The subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion D.

In conclusion, the subject property at 1300-1350 Pier B Street is not eligible for listing in the NRHP due to its lack of historical and architectural significance.

The subject building is a one-story, utilitarian warehouse with generally rectangular plan measuring approximately 250’ x 90’, which was constructed in three phases between 1967 and 1973. The rear of the westernmost third of the building, constructed last in 1973, angles slightly to accommodate the diagonal orientation of the rear alley. The building is located across two adjacent parcels and is constructed of tilt-up concrete and features a flat roof and a limited number of exterior openings. The primary façade, which faces north toward W. 11th Street, has five vehicular entrances featuring overhead roll-up metal doors. Located between the easternmost two vehicular entrances at this façade are three metal slab pedestrian doors and four horizontal multi-lite windows, which contain wire glass and are covered in metal grating. The expanse of the primary façade is punctuated by sets of vertical score lines in the exterior concrete. Downspouts are also affixed to this façade. Painted signage at this façade announces the building’s current tenant and use: LAN LOGISTICS FREIGHT HANDLING STATION BONDED WAREHOUSE.

A building permit was issued in 1967 for the construction of a 90’ x 80’ tilt-up concrete warehouse at 1520 W. 11th Street; construction costs were estimated to be $22,500 (City of Long Beach 1967). The permit identified the architect as Paul Stone, and the contractor as Gregory Construction Company. The volume of the building permitted in 1967 appears to be the easternmost third of the building. No permit was found to date the middle third of the building, although aerial photographs indicate it had been constructed by 1972 (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 1972).The western third of the building, addressed 1550 W. 11th Street, was permitted in 1973; construction costs were $31,000. Stone again served as architect, and A. Grubb was contractor (City of Long Beach 1973). A permit issued in 1989 authorized the construction of a loading dock at the property (City of Long Beach 1989). The canopy at the east façade of the building remains undated.

Historic Context The Port of Long Beach was dedicated in 1911. Occupying the area now known as the inner harbor, it offered an entry channel, three inner channels, a 1,400-foot turning basin, a single municipal pier, and limited water frontage (Queenan 1986:63-68; Port of Long Beach n.d.). Its fortuitous location adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles allowed Long Beach to develop a complementary facility with an early economy based on shipbuilding and repair, lumber transport, fishing and canning, and service to the United States Navy. The Port’s development accelerated with the discovery of oil at Signal Hill in 1921 and at the Wilmington Oil Field in 1932, along with the Navy’s siting of the entire Pacific Fleet at Long Beach in 1932. Oil provided ongoing revenue for construction of a world-class harbor and established the city of Long Beach as a major oil and shipping center. Factories for Ford Motor Company and Proctor and Gamble opened at the Port in 1930. The Navy developed Terminal Island as a shipyard in 1940, and subsequently took command of the Port for the duration of World War II (Queenan 1986:82-116; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

The warehouse’s east façade faces a fenced storage yard used by the building’s tenant and features a wood-frame canopy structure attached to the warehouse. The rear façade features two vehicular entrances with overhead roll-up metal doors. The west façade features no openings and abuts the neighboring one-story building, which is addressed 1556 W. 11th Street and contains Jon’s Auto Shop.

*B10. Significance (continued):

A booming postwar economy allowed Long Beach to enter world markets and remake its facilities to modern standards. The City effectively built a new port over the old between the late 1940s and the early 1970s, enabling Long Beach to serve the trends toward larger ships and containerization. As trade shifted to emerging markets on the Pacific Rim in the 1980s and 1990s, the Port expanded again, dredging to deepen the harbor while building new container terminals and using fill to create open land for movement and storage of containers and trucks. Additional rail facilities were introduced to serve a new land bridge system, allowing goods arriving by ship to be transferred onto truck and rail transit for shipping nationwide. Since 2000, the Port has built a next generation of mega-piers and terminals to serve ever larger container vessels and the continually enlarging volume of cargo (Queenan 1986:123-155; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

Site History The location of the subject building is within the Long Beach Harbor Tract and stands north of the historic North Harbor area of the Port of Long Beach. Topographic maps reveal that in the first decades of the twentieth century, this area was traversed by one primary east-west thoroughfare, the current-day Anaheim Street, as well as the diagonal alignment of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s Long Beach Branch line, which crossed tidal areas lying near Long Beach’s inner harbor. A grid of city streets was laid through this area of northwestern Long Beach during the 1920s, and the small settlement of Gaspur sprang up along the Pacific Electric’s Long Beach Line. W. 9th Street first appears on available topographic maps in 1942, aligned at a diagonal parallel to the adjacent Southern Pacific rail line, and formed a wedge-shaped district of small blocks located south of Anaheim Street. This district was bisected by the Pacific Electric rail line (in the current-day alignment of 12th Street) until the 1960s, when the tracks were pulled up. The surrounding area grew more industrial in character following the end of World War II as new small-scale industrial plants filled in the parcels along thoroughfares such as West Anaheim Street and East I Street (which closely followed the alignment of the Long Beach Line) (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 1923-2014). Industrial processing and shipment-oriented businesses in the area have benefited from their close proximity to numerous transportation routes— specifically active rail lines, elevated freeways, and the expanding Port of Long Beach—and continue to support the processing and movement of goods that drives the Port’s operations.

The subject building appears to have been constructed as a warehouse in three phases between 1967 and 1973: in the first phase, the easternmost third of the building was constructed in 1967; the middle third followed by 1972, and the western third was built in 1973. The owners of the building listed on early building permits were Sheldon Beeson and Harold Wilson (City of Long Beach 1967, 1973). The 1969 city directory identified the building’s tenant as Trans World Van Lines Moving and Storage; research did not uncover whether Beeson and Wilson were directly involved in the commercial/industrial operations of the warehouse. Beeson was a Long Beach school teacher and principal who was frequently mentioned in Southern California newspapers during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s due to the fact that he was the first cousin of United States congressperson, vice president, and ultimately president Richard Nixon (Epley 1952:64). The building at 1520 W. 11th Street is currently occupied by LAN Logistics, Inc., a firm specializing in freight handling such as crating/packing, hoisting, storage/warehousing, and drayage (LAN Logistics, Inc. 2019).

NRHP Evaluation of 1520 W. 11th Street The following section evaluates the subject property to determine whether it meets the eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as an individual resource. To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, a property must demonstrate significance under one or more of the following criteria:

• Criterion A (Events): Resources that are associated with events that have made a significance contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. • Criterion B (Persons): Resources that are associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history. • Criterion C (Design/Construction): Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values. • Criterion D (Information Potential): Resources that have yielded, or have the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.

Under NRHP Criterion A, the property at 1520 W. 11th Street does not appear to be associated with any event(s) significant in history. The building was constructed as a warehouse in phases between 1967 and 1973 and appears to have provided ancillary storage services related

*Recorded by Jon Rusch, ICF *Date November 15, 2019  Continuation  Update to the shipment of goods facilitated through the Port of Long Beach. The building was constructed during a period when numerous similarly scaled industrial and commercial facilities were built in close proximity to the Port of Long Beach and associated transportation infrastructure, and individually it did not serve a significant role in Port operations. Research did not yield any evidence that the property is associated with any events important to local, state, or national history. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion A.

Under NRHP Criterion B, the property at 1520 W. 11th Street appears to lack associative value with significant persons. Research uncovered no substantial information on Harold Wilson, one of the original owners of the property; the second original owner, Sheldon Beeson, received some local publicity due to his family relationship with Richard Nixon but does not appear to have made significant contributions to history through his own accomplishments. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion B.

Under NRHP Criterion C, the property at 1520 11th Street lacks distinctive architectural character. The building is utilitarian in design, featuring tilt-up concrete construction and relatively few openings for windows and doors. Vertical score lines provide a limited amount of visual interest to the primary façade, but overall the warehouse reflects an undistinguished building design and common construction methods and does not embody a noteworthy type, period, region, or method of construction. No information was located on the architect listed on original building permits, Paul M. Stone, and the building does not appear to be the work of a master design professional or builder. As a result, the building does not have high architectural value and is not significant under NRHP Criterion C.

The property at 1520 W. 11th Street does not have the potential to provide significant information to support an understanding of prehistory or history, which most commonly applies to archaeological resources. The building is a common example of a post-World War II industrial building that would not yield information important to prehistory or history. The subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion D.

In conclusion, the subject property at 1520 W. 11th Street is evaluated as ineligible for listing in the NRHP due to its lack of historical and architectural significance.

Constructed beginning in c.1927 and later expanded, the industrial building at 1220-1230 W. 9th Street combines minimal Moorish Revival- style elements on a largely utilitarian-style building (Figure 1). The 7,200-square-foot building, which resides on a 19,236-square-foot lot, is one story in height and has an irregular plan that is composed of a primary rectangular building volume with two building projections along its north (primary) façade that create a modified ‘U’ footprint. One projection is located at the northwest corner of the building, and the other is located near the northeast corner of the building (Figure 2). The building’s exterior façades are clad in a mix of corrugated metal panels and stucco. The building’s primary rectangular mass is capped with a side-gabled roof. The northwest projection is clad in corrugated sheet metal with a square metal roll-up door and has a flat roof. The northeast projection includes a Moorish Revival-style volume, with a shed roof covered in clay tiles.

No original building permit for the subject building is available. While tax assessor data notes the building was built in 1928, a historic aerial photograph from 1927 indicates that the following extant building volumes existed at that time: the eastern portion of the side gabled primary building volume; the northeast projection of the building, composed of two primary components which include a Moorish Revival-style volume to the west, and the adjacent flat roof building segment to the east; and the front gabled roof immediately south of the northeast projection (Figure 8). That year, the building had an eastern wing (no longer extant) that was perpendicular to the building’s primary volume. This wing is clearly visible in a 1928 historic aerial (Figure 9). The primary building volume was subsequently extended to the west prior to 1939. A 1943 building permit states the building underwent an alteration relating to the addition of brick and sheet metal building materials, although it is unclear where on the building this occurred (City of Long Beach 1943-2000). Lastly, the east wing that was perpendicular to the building’s current rectangular massing was removed between the years 1953-1963 (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 1953-1963). A 1947 permit shows the subject building was altered from its use as a store to a restaurant, including adding interior partitions and doors. A 1962 building permit for adding a loading platform is mostly illegible. In 2000, a compliance permit was filed with few additional details (City of Long Beach 1943-2000). The aluminum-frame slider windows were installed on the c.1927 building volume at an unknown date.

*P3a. Description (continued):

The building’s architectural character is concentrated at its primary façade, specifically the volume of the northeast projection with Morris Revival elements (Figure 2). This volume includes the building’s main entrance, consisting of a single pedestrian door recessed within a Moorish Revival-style arched entryway. Single aluminum-frame slider windows flank the entryway. The west corner of this volume contains an engaged turret (Figure 3). Adjacent to the northeast projection is an additional building volume with a flat roof and stucco cladding. The flat-roofed volume features one double pedestrian door and aluminum-frame slider windows (Figure 4).

The building’s east façade contains a double pedestrian door; at the northeast projection, the east façade also contains a single window, possibly with aluminum frames, that is located behind security bars (Figure 5). The building contains four roll-up vehicular entrances, two on the primary façade and the remaining two on the building’s south (rear) façade. The building’s west façade lacks fenestration. The rear façade contains minimal fenestration apart from the vehicular entrances (Figure 6).

*B10. Significance (continued):

A booming postwar economy allowed Long Beach to enter world markets and remake its facilities to modern standards. The City effectively built a new port over the old between the late 1940s and the early 1970s, enabling Long Beach to serve the trends toward larger ships and containerization. As trade shifted to emerging markets on the Pacific Rim in the 1980s and 1990s, the Port expanded again, dredging to deepen the harbor while building new container terminals and using fill to create open land for movement and storage of containers and trucks. Additional rail facilities were introduced to serve a new land bridge system, allowing goods arriving by ship to be transferred onto truck and rail transit for shipping nationwide. Since 2000, the Port has built a next generation of mega-piers and terminals to serve ever larger container vessels and the continually enlarging volume of cargo (Queenan 1986:123-155; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

Pacific Southwest Exposition The earliest portions of the subject building were constructed c.1927, just before Long Beach held the Pacific Southwest Exposition. “The Great Exposition,” as it was known by locals, opened on July 27, 1928 (Independent Press Telegram 1977:38). The Pacific Southwest Exposition was located on a former sandpit, at the south end of today’s Pier C, between Channels 2 and 3 (Figure 7). Sprawling across 60 acres, it was “the biggest exposition the Southland yet had seen,” and it was estimated that almost 2 million visitors attended the event (Independent Press Telegram 1977:38). Many exposition goers rode the Pacific Electric Co.’s “Big Red Cars” directly into the site. 26 nations, as well as most states in the western U.S., were represented in the exposition.

Given that Long Beach’s Mediterranean climate is similar to that in the city of Tunis, the exposition’s architectural theme followed guidelines for a Tunisian city. Moorish architecture, including towers and domes, was fashioned throughout the exposition. Hugh R. Davies held the position as the exposition’s chief architect, and civil engineer James F. Collins, along with Walter R. Fleming, director of the Department of Public Service, prepare the grounds (Independent Press Telegram 1963a:13). An Independent Press Telegram newspaper article noted how Davis “achieved the miracle of erecting a ‘Tunisian city’ on sand dunes with 10 ½ weeks notice” (Independent Press Telegram 1963a:13). While Moorish architecture fit the desired theme, its style also provided a practical benefit as “the buildings were hardly more than stage sets, Masonry walls were out of question, so the buildings were of plaster-board with an outer coating of stucco, the interiors supported by studding. Roofs were of canvas stretched like tents” (Independent Press Telegram 1963a:13). The exposition lasted 39 days, ending on September 2, 1928 (Independent Press Telegram 1963a:13).

Site History The original volumes of the subject building were constructed in c.1927 adjacent to a larger rail freight loading station that originally served the Southern Pacific, Salt Lake, and Pacific Electric railroads. In 1920, the rail lines announced they planned to build a freight station “on the west side of the flood control channel between Seventh and Anaheim streets” (San Pedro News Pilot 1920), which generally aligns with the current location of the subject building. The freight station was intended to serve as a “union” facility serving all three rail lines and was estimated as exceeding $1,000,000 in cost. A 500-foot-long freight house and “extensive yards” were proposed at that time (San Pedro News Pilot 1920). Research did not reveal whether the subject building directly supported the operations of this freight station when it was first built.

The construction of the building’s original volumes occurred prior to the opening of the Pacific Southwest Exposition. However, it remains unclear precisely how the building was related to that larger event. A local newspaper article published in the 1970s states, “There are still two [buildings from the Long Beach Pacific Southwest Exposition] standing and in use today [including] a smaller structure turned into storage space at 1220 W. 9th Street.” This description matches the present use and address of the subject building (Independent Press Telegram 1977:39). Additionally, the stucco-clad, tile-roofed projection of the subject building, which contains Moorish Revival-style elements, matches the architectural style utilized throughout the Pacific Southwest Exposition. However, the present location of the subject

*Recorded by Andrea Dumovich, ICF *Date November 15, 2019  Continuation  Update building is north of the exposition site, which was held between Channels 2 and 3. Because the projection is confirmed to have been located at its current location by 1927, it is not possible that it was salvaged from the exposition and moved to its present location. Additionally, none of the buildings shown on the Sanborn fire insurance map of the 1928 Pacific Southwest Exposition match the footprint of the tile-roofed volume at 1220-1230 W. 9th Street (Sanborn Fire Insurance Company 1928). It is possible that the subject building’s c.1927 northeast projection served an auxiliary function, although it was located outside the formal exposition grounds. The rail lines and rail depot adjacent to the subject building can also be viewed in both the 1927 and 1928 historic aerial images of the subject parcel (Figure 8 and Figure 9). A large structure that appears to have been a part of the freight loading station was located directly south of the subject building (Figure 10). Historic aerials indicate this building was demolished sometime between 1964 and 1971.

Research did not identify the tenants of the building earlier than 1940. City directory research reveals that in 1940, the building served as an industrial service yard and gas station, with tenants Butler Sump & Tank Service Inc (yard) (listed at 1220 W. 9th Street) and Hamberger E W Gas Station (listed at 1200 W. 9th Street). According to a 1943 building permit, E. W. Hamberger owned the building, which served as a tire store at that time (City of Long Beach 1943-2000). Hamberger continued to own the building through 1947, as indicated by a building permit to alter the subject building from its use as a store to a restaurant (City of Long Beach 1943-2000). In 1948, the building housed a variety of uses including a restaurant, storage space, beer distributor, and delivery company, under the names Richards TL restaurant, Merrick JP storage, Reardon Distribution beer, United Package Delivery. In 1951-1952 the building was occupied by City Transfer Co/City Warehouse & Storage, and in 1960 it housed Pacific Intermountain Exp. Co. A 1962 building permit lists the owner as CC Willenberg. From 1965 to 1969, Royal Products Co. Waterproofing occupied the building. (City of Long Beach 1943-2000)

Historic newspaper research also uncovered that in 1947, the building was used as a warehouse for R.E. Spriggs Co.’s wholesale Kingsbury Beer, with Bert Johannes listed as the manager (Long Beach Independent 1947:46).

NRHP Evaluation of 1220-1230 W. 9th Street The following section evaluates the subject property to determine whether it meets the eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as an individual resource. To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, a property must demonstrate significance under one or more of the following criteria:

• Criterion A (Events): Resources that are associated with events that have made a significance contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. • Criterion B (Persons): Resources that are associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history. • Criterion C (Design/Construction): Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values. • Criterion D (Information Potential): Resources that have yielded, or have the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.

Under NRHP Criterion A, the property at 1220-1230 W. 9th Street does not appear to be directly associated with any event(s) significant in history. Research did not reveal a firm connection between the building and the 1928 Pacific Southwest Exposition, an event that was notable in the history of the City of Long Beach. However, it appears possible that the building was constructed to support the exposition, based on its date of construction in addition to the unusual Moorish Revival architectural style of its northeast projection, which matches the larger architectural theme of the exposition. If the building was constructed in association with the 1928 exposition, it appears to have served an auxiliary, possibly railroad-related function (such as the receiving and storage of goods) due to its location immediately adjacent to an active rail alignment. Given its utilitarian use and location separate from the primary exposition grounds, the subject building lacks a direct association with the activities and facilities of primary significance that occurred during the 1928 exposition. Additionally, the earliest identified tenants of the building following the exposition include a gas station in 1940; a restaurant, storage space, beer distribution center, and delivery company in 1948; a warehouse/storage space in 1951-1952; a wholesale company in 1960; and a waterproofing company between 1965-1969. The building served these industrial and commercial purposes during a period when numerous similarly scaled industrial and commercial facilities were built in close proximity to the Port of Long Beach. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion A.

Under NRHP Criterion B, the property at 1220-1230 W. 9th Street appears to lack associative value with significant persons. Research uncovered no substantial information on any identified owners or occupants of the parcel throughout its history that would indicate they made substantial contributions to local, state, or national history. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion B.

Under NRHP Criterion C, the property at 1220-1230 W. 9th Street lacks distinctive architectural character. The largely utilitarian-style industrial building has minimal Moorish Revival-style elements at a portion of its c.1927 northeast projection, which is characterized by stucco cladding, clay tiled roof, arched entryway, and a single turret. The rest of the building lacks distinctive stylistic elements that would

*Recorded by Andrea Dumovich, ICF *Date November 15, 2019  Continuation  Update imbue it with significance. Although the subject building may have been constructed in association with the 1928 Pacific Southwest Exposition, the current building does not fully embody the Moorish-style characteristics that defined the event’s grand architecture. The exposition is best known for its lavish Moorish Revival-style buildings composed mostly of large-scale buildings, including ornate towers and domes. While some of the Moorish Revival details remain on the northwest project of the subject building, it is a subdued expression of the style that has experienced alterations to its window and central, arched entrance, such that the building is not a significant and intact example of the Moorish Revival style. The subject building as a whole reflects an undistinguished building design and construction methods, and does not embody a noteworthy type, period, region, or method of construction. As a result, the building does not have high artistic value and is not significant under NRHP Criterion C.

The property at 1220-1230 W. 9th Street does not have the potential to provide significant information to support an understanding of prehistory or history, which most commonly applies to archaeological resources. The building was constructed as a common, temporary exposition building that would not yield information important to prehistory or history. The subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion D.

In conclusion, the subject property at 1220-1230 W. 9th Street is not eligible for listing in the NRHP due to its lack of historical and architectural significance.

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The property at 1700 W. Anaheim Street is located on the southeastern corner of Santa Fe and Anaheim Streets and includes two large attached concrete buildings and a small attached concrete rear building designed in the Streamline Moderne style. The buildings are all one story in height and form a rectangular volume. A painted water table runs the perimeter of the buildings’ elevations. The eastern building also features horizontal grooves and a number of curved chamfered corners run along the perimeter of its elevations.

The eastern building was constructed in 1941 with concrete walls and a flat roof. Its primary (north) elevation is symmetrical, highlighting a broad central component and entry, flanking walls, and chamfered corners. The broad central component protrudes slightly and features layers of ornamentation: a thin scalloped cornice, rectangular scoring, horizontal scoring, and a water table. The recessed and elevated entrance features a stainless-steel door set in a steel and plate glass wall. Flanking the entrance are horizontally configured metal frame windows. Above the entrance is an elaborate sign with a curved, shallow, protruding marquee reading “superior electrical advertising” and large contemporary arrows mounted above. The flanking walls have vertical scoring that terminates in circular elements at the cornice level. At the ends of the façade are two curved chamfered corners with pedestals, where two large reinforced concrete Coca-Cola bottle replicas originally stood. (See continuation sheet.)

In 1941, the Coca-Cola Bottling Company filed for building permits for a 49’ x 30’ building originally intended for use as a repair shop and wash rack for cleaning equipment, as well as a detached 139’-11” x 119’9” reinforced concrete building originally intended for use as a warehouse. The larger building was the result of a collaboration between Robert V. Derrah, architect, and Noel Calhoun, contractor. In 1950, an addition was constructed to connect to its western wall. Stephen Goosson Associates/Eugene M. Layman, architect, S.B. Barnes, engineer, and Wohl-Calhoun Co., contractor, teamed up for this 119’-9” x 60’ portion, originally intended for use as a warehouse. In 1950, the wash rack received two new doors, with G.R. Brooks listed as the engineer/architect. (See continuation sheet.)

Historic Context The Port of Long Beach was dedicated in 1911. Occupying the area now known as the inner harbor, it offered an entry channel, three inner channels, a 1,400-foot turning basin, a single municipal pier, and limited water frontage (Queenan 1986:63-68; Port of Long Beach n.d.). Its fortuitous location adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles allowed Long Beach to develop a complementary facility with an early economy based on shipbuilding and repair, lumber transport, fishing and canning, and service to the United States Navy. The Port’s development accelerated with the discovery of oil at Signal Hill in 1921 and at the Wilmington Oil Field in 1932, along with the Navy’s siting of the entire Pacific Fleet at Long Beach in 1932. Oil provided ongoing revenue for construction of a world-class harbor and established the city of Long Beach as a major oil and shipping center. Factories for Ford Motor Company and Proctor and Gamble opened at the Port in 1930. The Navy developed Terminal Island as a shipyard in 1940, and subsequently took command of the Port for the duration of World War II (Queenan 1986:82-116; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

*P3a. Description (continued):

The western building is L-shaped and has a plain primary (north) elevation devoid of ornamentation. Facing north onto W. Anaheim Street, a 119’-9” blank façade is punched with eight evenly spaced porthole windows and is crowned with a modestly curved parapet toward the center. Constructed in 1950, it features two barrel-vaulted roofs, each with a shed roof . Each monitor is composed of twelve two- by-three metal sash pivot windows. A 49’ x 30’ volume is currently set in the ell of the western building at the rear (south) elevation.

At the western elevation along Jackson Avenue are three metal window configurations: with multi-lite fixed arrangements with additional operable sashes. This elevation also features a metal sliding garage door and an extended canopy. A rectangular sign is mounted along this elevation near the Anaheim Street corner. At the eastern elevation along Santa Fe Avenue, vehicular door openings that were original to the building, containing sectional overhead wood doors, have been infilled. The buildings are surrounds by fenced parking areas and to the south and west.

*B6. Construction History (continued):

In 1951, the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. removed fire walls and installed a sprinkler system at the eastern building. In 1955, the company constructed a new detached 50’ x 145’ plaster, wood, and steel building along Jackson Street that would function as another warehouse. In June 1958, a fire destroyed a building reportedly measuring 50’ x 200’ (Long Beach Independent 1958:1). It appears that this was a detached building located on the southeastern corner of the parcel (City of Long Beach Development Services 1958; Long Beach Independent 1958:1). Later that year, the company replaced the building with Neil P. Richards as the Engineer at a $16,000 valuation (City of Long Beach Development Services 1958). By 1994, this warehouse had been removed from the property (NETR 1994). In 1971, Superior Outdoor Display, a manufacturing company, applied for a permit to add roofed storage space to the exterior of an existing building.

*B10. Significance (continued):

A booming postwar economy allowed Long Beach to enter world markets and remake its facilities to modern standards. The City effectively built a new port over the old between the late 1940s and the early 1970s, enabling Long Beach to serve the trends toward larger ships and containerization. As trade shifted to emerging markets on the Pacific Rim in the 1980s and 1990s, the Port expanded again, dredging to deepen the harbor while building new container terminals and using fill to create open land for movement and storage of containers and trucks. Additional rail facilities were introduced to serve a new land bridge system, allowing goods arriving by ship to be transferred onto truck and rail transit for shipping nationwide. Since 2000, the Port has built a next generation of mega-piers and terminals to serve ever larger container vessels and the continually enlarging volume of cargo (Queenan 1986:123-155; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

The location of the subject building is within the Long Beach Harbor Tract, and stands north of the historic North Harbor area of the Port of Long Beach. Topographic maps reveal that in the first decades of the twentieth century, this area was traversed by one primary east-west thoroughfare, the current-day Anaheim Street, as well as the diagonal alignment of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s Long Beach Branch line, which crossed tidal areas lying near Long Beach’s inner harbor. A grid of city streets was laid through this area of northwestern Long Beach during the 1920s, and the small settlement of Gaspur sprang up along the Pacific Electric’s Long Beach Line. W. 9th Street first appears on available topographic maps in 1942, aligned at a diagonal parallel to the adjacent Southern Pacific rail line, and formed a wedge-shaped district of small blocks located south of Anaheim Street. This district was bisected by the Pacific Electric rail line (in the current-day alignment of 12th Street) until the 1960s, when the tracks were pulled up. The surrounding area grew more industrial in character following the end of World War II as new small-scale industrial plants filled in the parcels along thoroughfares such as West Anaheim Street and East I Street (which closely followed the alignment of the Long Beach Line) (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 1923-2014). Industrial processing and shipment-oriented businesses in the area have benefited from their close proximity to numerous transportation routes— specifically active rail lines, elevated freeways, and the expanding Port of Long Beach—and continue to support the processing and movement of goods that drives the Port’s operations. The area is currently accessible from the Port of Long Beach for overweight freight traffic via designated overweight street routes on 9th Street, West Anaheim Street, and Santa Fe Avenue (Port of Long Beach 2019).

The Coca-Cola Company & the Coca-Cola Bottling Company In the early 1880s, John Pemberton formulated French Wine Cola, a “direct imitation” of Angelo Mariani’s 1863 Vin Mariani (Pendergrast 2013:21). In 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia, the Pemberton Chemical Company was granted a trademark patent for Pemberton’s new and improved Coca-Cola formula (Pendergrast 2013:26-31). Local businessman Asa Candler gradually took ownership of the product’s direction in 1888 and officially filed for incorporation of The Coca-Cola Company in 1892 (Pendergrast 2013:37-39). He had intended for the drink’s consumption at a soda fountain but in 1899 sold the rights to bottling the product to Benjamin Thomas and Joseph Whitehead, who incorporated the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. shortly thereafter in Chattanooga, Tennessee (Pendergrast 2013:68-70). To Candler’s surprise, the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. amassed a remarkable amount of bottlers within and beyond American borders.

Robert Woodruff became the president of The Coca-Cola Company in 1923. While the majority of American companies suffered during the Great Depression (1929-1939), The Coca-Cola Company grew in leaps and bounds—“by 1936, it was clear that Robert Woodruff and his men had managed to turn the Depression on its head by deliberate, determined, multiple attacks on consumers,” especially through its imaging as a “pleasant, inexpensive time-out from an increasingly difficult reality…a temporary escape” at the cost of a nickel (Pendergrast 2013:164-165). In 1936—amidst the Depression—twins Stanley and Al Barbee and their older brother Cecil opened the Los Angeles branch of the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. at 1334 S. Central Avenue. Robert V. Derrah, the architect, applied a Streamline Moderne vernacular and designed a cruise line replica to consume four older buildings on the site (Pendergrast 2013:165).

The Coca-Cola Bottling Co. constructed two buildings on the property at 1700 W. Anaheim Street in 1941, adding to its portfolio of bottling plants. By 1942, 44 countries were bottling Coca-Cola (The Coca-Cola Company n.d.). Shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Woodruff issued an order: “We will see that every man in uniform gets a bottle of Coca-Cola for five cents, wherever he is and whatever it costs our company” as well as orders to supply American troops with the product (Pendergrast 2013:184-185). During World War II, the company built 64 additional plants in order to supply the troops (The Coca-Cola Company n.d.).

In 1948, the company decided to expand the Long Beach plant farther west and commissioned Eugene M. Layman of Stephen Goosson Associates to design the annex. Robert V. Derrah, who had designed two other buildings on the property as well as the company’s Los Angeles plant, had passed away in 1946. The company continued to grow—by 1956, The Coca-Cola Company had amassed over 1,000 bottling plants in the United States, including Ventura, Santa Barbara, Bakersfield, San Bernardino, San Diego, and El Centro, in addition to its foreign plants, including China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Cairo (Long Beach Independent 1956:4).

In 1958, a fire destroyed a warehouse used for storing and repairing bottle-dispensing machines as well as over 20 machines and 3 large trucks, resulting in roughly $75,000 in damages (Independent 1958:1; Sanders 1958:9). Based on building permits and news articles, it appears that this was a detached building located on the southeastern corner of the parcel. Later that year, the building was replaced. In 1965, the company decided to ship 100,000 pounds of machinery from the Long Beach plant to an Australian plant in New Lambton (Press- Telegram 1965:13). The Coca-Cola Bottling Co. continued to operate the facility as a warehouse and distribution center, vacating the site by 1969 (Polk Directories 1965-1969). The company operated at 1700 W. Anaheim Street for 28 years.

City directories from 1969 list Crown Auto Body Auto Repair as the primary tenant. From 1970 to 1979, Superior Outdoor Display was located at the property. According to city directories, the current tenant, Superior Electrical Advertising, has occupied the property since 1980.

Robert V. Derrah AIA (1895-1946) Robert V. Derrah designed the original 1941 warehouse as well as the 1941 repair and wash shop. Derrah is closely associated with the Streamline Moderne architectural style, highly evident in his designs for the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. on 1334 S. Central Avenue; Crossroads of the World (1936) at 6671 Sunset Boulevard; and Southern California Gas Company Building (1939-1940) at 820 S. Flower Street. The Coca-Cola Los Angeles building, as it was dubbed, is located southeast of downtown Los Angeles. It takes a ship-like form and encircles a complex of older buildings, and incorporates nautical elements such as porthole windows, ship doors, and pipe railings (Herr 2002:432). The building became City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #138 in 1975.

Streamline Moderne Style Following the vertically oriented building design of Art Deco, Streamline Moderne evolved from this style and celebrated horizontal emphasis reflecting a “fascination with the aerodynamic speed of ships, airplanes, trains, and automobiles” (Sapphos 2009:222-224). Architects achieved this through ornamenting buildings with long horizontal grooved speed lines or string courses and bands of steel casement windows making their way around curved building corners. In Long Beach, the Streamline Moderne style was commonly used for car dealerships along Anaheim Street after Art Deco fell out of mode in the mid-1930s (Sapphos Environmental, Inc. 2009:103). Streamline Moderne style buildings often feature clean and simple lines, porthole windows, and pipe railings influenced by nautical design.

NRHP Evaluation of 1700 W. Anaheim Street The following section evaluates the subject property to determine whether it meets the eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as an individual resource. To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, a property must demonstrate significance under one or more of the following criteria:

• Criterion A (Events): Resources that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. • Criterion B (Persons): Resources that are associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history.

• Criterion C (Design/Construction): Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values. • Criterion D (Information Potential): Resources that have yielded, or have the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.

Under NRHP Criterion A, the property at 1700 W. Anaheim Street does not appear to be associated with any event(s) significant in history. This complex was one of many Coca-Cola bottling plants constructed in anticipation of World War II. This property’s early history reflects The Coca-Cola Company’s rapid expansion of its facilities through the Great Depression and into World War II and is not a distinctive example within this context. Newspaper research did not yield any evidence that the property is associated with any events important to local, state, or national history. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion A.

Under NRHP Criterion B, the property at 1700 W. Anaheim Street appears to lack associative value with significant persons. The architects and builders are the only individuals clearly associated with the building—their associative value will be evaluated below under Criterion C. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion B.

Under NRHP Criterion C, the property at 1700 W. Anaheim Street incorporates Streamline Moderne elements such as portholes and sweeping lines and curves, but lacks distinctive architectural character and aesthetic value. The iterative design of the complex did not successfully combine two warehouse facades—the 1941 façade is a pedestrian example of Streamline Moderne and the 1950 building extends this façade in a haphazard manner. The property reflects undistinguished building design, especially when compared to other local and regional examples of the style. The 1950 building addition references the original Los Angeles Coca-Cola bottling complex’s maritime theme; however, its architectural flourish is limited to minimal portholes that continue across a blank façade—composing more than half of the entire building frontage along Anaheim Street. In addition, the property at 1700 W. Anaheim Street does not appear to be a significant work of a master architect or builder. Robert V. Derrah designed the original 1941 warehouse as well as the 1941 repair and wash shop. His body of work demonstrates his capacity to deliver high-style Streamline Moderne architecture, highly evident in his nautical Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Los Angeles as well as other local examples. The subject building, however, does not possess artistic values at par with Derrah’s other works. The permit for the property’s 1950 western annex identifies Eugene M. Layman and Stephen Goosson Associates as the architect; however, research did not uncover other works by either architect, and their names do not appear in the AIA Historical Directory from 1956. As a result, the building does not have high architectural value and is not significant under NRHP Criterion C.

The property at 1700 W. Anaheim Street does not have the potential to provide significant information to support an understanding of prehistory or history, which most commonly applies to archaeological resources. The building is a common example of an industrial building that would not yield information important to prehistory or history. The subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion D.

In conclusion, the subject property at 1700 W. Anaheim Street is evaluated as ineligible for listing in the NRHP due to its lack of historical and architectural significance.

1119 Canal Avenue is a two-story, side-gabled, utilitarian industrial warehouse with a rectangular plan. The building is located on the west side of Canal Avenue and is located within a fenced storage and equipment yard used by the building’s current tenant, Kair Harbor Express LLC. The warehouse building, constructed in 1964, is clad in corrugated metal panels. The primary façade, facing east toward Canal Avenue, features two double-height vehicular entrances at its outer ends. Each opening has been infilled with corrugated metal and contains one pedestrian door. The primary façade also features three pairings of sliding metal-frame windows at the second story.

The south façade features two double-height, corrugated metal sliding doors that hang from tracks mounted above the door openings. At the center of the façade are two pairings of metal-frame windows identical to those at the primary façade. A metal canopy structure is attached to the west (rear) façade of the building, which shelters a loading area. The north façade features one corrugated metal sliding door, one pair of metal-frame sliding windows, and one metal pedestrian door.

No building permits were located for the subject building. Data available at the Los Angeles County Office of the Assessor states the warehouse building was constructed in 1964. Available aerial photographs corroborate this date of construction and the canopy structure at the west end of the site appears in aerial photographs by 1972. At that time, it appears that the warehouse was twice as large as its current dimensions, and extended to the west via a second gable-roofed volume. That volume was demolished by 1994.

Historic Context The Port of Long Beach was dedicated in 1911. Occupying the area now known as the inner harbor, it offered an entry channel, three inner channels, a 1,400-foot turning basin, a single municipal pier, and limited water frontage (Queenan 1986:63-68; Port of Long Beach n.d.). Its fortuitous location adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles allowed Long Beach to develop a complementary facility with an early economy based on shipbuilding and repair, lumber transport, fishing and canning, and service to the United States Navy. The Port’s development accelerated with the discovery of oil at Signal Hill in 1921 and at the Wilmington Oil Field in 1932, along with the Navy’s siting of the entire Pacific Fleet at Long Beach in 1932. Oil provided ongoing revenue for construction of a world-class harbor and established the city of Long Beach as a major oil and shipping center. Factories for Ford Motor Company and Proctor and Gamble opened at the Port in 1930. The Navy developed Terminal Island as a shipyard in 1940, and subsequently took command of the Port for the duration of World War II (Queenan 1986:82-116; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

*P3a. Description (continued):

The warehouse is the primary building within a multi-parcel site that also houses the storage and parking yard of the building’s tenant, Kair Harbor Express. The site is surrounded by metal chain-link perimeter fencing. Vehicular access to the yard is provided through rolling gates at Canal Avenue (south of the warehouse) and a mid-block alley at the north edge of the site. An unenclosed, wood-frame canopy structure, constructed between 1963 and 1972, is located along the western edge of the site, featuring post-and-beam construction with a corrugated metal roof. The storage yard, particularly along its southern fence, currently contains numerous piles of construction materials.

*B10. Significance (continued):

A booming postwar economy allowed Long Beach to enter world markets and remake its facilities to modern standards. The City effectively built a new port over the old between the late 1940s and the early 1970s, enabling Long Beach to serve the trends toward larger ships and containerization. As trade shifted to emerging markets on the Pacific Rim in the 1980s and 1990s, the Port expanded again, dredging to deepen the harbor while building new container terminals and using fill to create open land for movement and storage of containers and trucks. Additional rail facilities were introduced to serve a new land bridge system, allowing goods arriving by ship to be transferred onto truck and rail transit for shipping nationwide. Since 2000, the Port has built a next generation of mega-piers and terminals to serve ever larger container vessels and the continually enlarging volume of cargo (Queenan 1986:123-155; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

Site History The location of the subject building is within the Long Beach Harbor Tract, and stands north of the historic North Harbor area of the Port of Long Beach. Topographic maps reveal that in the first decades of the twentieth century, this area was traversed by one primary east-west thoroughfare, the current-day Anaheim Street, as well as the diagonal alignment of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s Long Beach Branch line, which crossed tidal areas lying near Long Beach’s inner harbor. A grid of city streets was laid through this area of northwestern Long Beach during the 1920s, and the small settlement of Gaspur sprang up along the Pacific Electric’s Long Beach Line. W. 9th Street first appears on available topographic maps in 1942, aligned at a diagonal parallel to the adjacent Southern Pacific rail line, and formed a wedge-shaped district of small blocks located south of Anaheim Street. This district was bisected by the Pacific Electric rail line (in the current-day alignment of 12th Street) until the 1960s, when the tracks were pulled up. The surrounding area grew more industrial in character following the end of World War II as new small-scale industrial plants filled in the parcels along thoroughfares such as West Anaheim Street and East I Street (which closely followed the alignment of the Long Beach Line) (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 1923-2014). Industrial processing and shipment-oriented businesses in the area have benefited from their close proximity to numerous transportation routes— specifically active rail lines, elevated freeways, and the expanding Port of Long Beach—and continue to support the processing and movement of goods that drives the Port’s operations. The area is currently accessible from the Port of Long Beach for overweight freight traffic via designated overweight street routes on 9th Street, West Anaheim Street, and Santa Fe Avenue (Port of Long Beach 2019).

The warehouse within the subject property appears to have been constructed in 1964, based on available assessor’s data. Research did not uncover the building’s original owner or tenants; the current address was not included in available City of Long Beach city directories between the 1960s and 1980s, and the building’s address does not appear in local newspapers following its construction. The current tenant is Kair Harbor Express, a facility that handles overweight shipping container loading and unloading, alfalfa hay transloading, and storage for container-handing trucks and other equipment. Kair Harbor Express has occupied the warehouse and storage yard since 2015 (Kair Harbor Express 2019).

NRHP Evaluation of 1119 Canal Avenue The following section evaluates the subject property to determine whether it meets the eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as an individual resource. To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, a property must demonstrate significance under one or more of the following criteria:

• Criterion A (Events): Resources that are associated with events that have made a significance contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. • Criterion B (Persons): Resources that are associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history. • Criterion C (Design/Construction): Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values. • Criterion D (Information Potential): Resources that have yielded, or have the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.

Under NRHP Criterion A, the property at 1119 Canal Avenue does not appear to be associated with any event(s) significant in history. The original use, tenant, and owner of the warehouse have not been identified through research in city directories and local newspapers. The

*Recorded by Jon Rusch, ICF *Date November 15, 2019  Continuation  Update warehouse is not of a scale commensurate with a significant or influential commercial firm, and the building was constructed during a period when numerous similarly scaled industrial and commercial facilities were built in close proximity to the Port of Long Beach and associated transportation infrastructure. Research did not yield any evidence that the property is associated with any events important to local, state, or national history. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion A.

Under NRHP Criterion B, the property at 1119 Canal Avenue appears to lack associative value with significant persons. Research in permit records, city directories, and local newspapers did not uncover information on the resource’s connection to any specific owners or occupants. As a utilitarian warehouse and storage yard, the resource is not a property type that would be anticipated to be associated with important industrialists, commercial figures, or other individuals who may have made significant contributions to the development of the Port of Long Beach. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion B.

Under NRHP Criterion C, the property at 1119 Canal Avenue lacks distinctive architectural character. The building is utilitarian in design, characterized by a simple plan, form, and materials that are common for industrial buildings constructed in the post-World War II period. It reflects an undistinguished building design and construction methods and does not embody a noteworthy type, period, region, or method of construction. Its designer is not known, and the building does not appear to be the work of a master design professional or builder. As a result, the resource does not have high architectural value and is not significant under NRHP Criterion C.

The property at 1119 Canal Avenue does not have the potential to provide significant information to support an understanding of prehistory or history, which most commonly applies to archaeological resources. The building is a common example of a post-World War II industrial building that would not yield information important to prehistory or history. The subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion D.

In conclusion, the subject property at 1119 Canal Avenue is not eligible for listing in the NRHP due to its lack of historical and architectural significance.

In 2012, Parsons prepared the Identification and Evaluation of Smokehouses, Port of Long Beach, a cultural resources study that inventoried and evaluated 28 portable office/multi-use buildings, referred to as smokehouses, spread across numerous parcels within the Port of Long Beach. The buildings evaluated in the 2012 study included buildings that were constructed in 1929 and 1952, and are located on various Port pier facilities. The 2012 study reported that in 2006, a reconnaissance survey was undertaken in the Port by CH2M Hill that recommended the smokehouses as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) based on limited research. The 2006 survey findings, which were not located during the preparation of the current study, supported the final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report of the Middle Harbor Redevelopment Project.

*P3a. Description (continued):

The APE contains nine one-story portable office buildings, known as smokehouses, located on three parcels. ICF field checked these nine smokehouses in July 2019. Six of the smokehouses are currently located on two adjacent parcels, APNs 7436004917 and 7436004918, at 1335 W. 11th Street. The remaining three smokehouses in the APE are located on APN 7436013903, at 555 Pico Avenue. (The 2012 Parsons study identified the address of these three smokehouses as 1250 7th Street.)

The six smokehouses at 1335 W. 11th Street are generally similar to one another in design, featuring rectangular footprints, utilitarian architectural style, wood channel siding, corner boards, and exposed rafter tails. The smokehouses have windows and doors with wood surrounds, and are currently elevated off the ground and sit on skids. The two northernmost of the six smokehouses in this grouping date to 1929 and have somewhat smaller dimensions than the surrounding buildings. One 1929 smokehouse features a gabled roof, while the other features a hipped roof; both are approximately 18’ by 12’ in plan. The remaining four smokehouses at 1335 W. 11th Street were constructed in 1952 and feature hipped roofs. When field surveyed in 2012 by Parsons, five of the smokehouses were fully or partially wrapped in protective plastic covering; the covering appears to have been removed since the previous recordation. Additionally, the window and door openings of four of the smokehouses have been covered with plywood boards to prevent unauthorized intrusion since the field survey was conducted for the 2012 Parsons study. The six smokehouses at 1335 W. 11th Street are located within a fenced lot that is otherwise vacant apart from stacked construction materials.

The three smokehouses located at 555 Pico Avenue are arranged as a row within a surface parking lot for the Queens Wharf Restaurant. The three smokehouses, which were constructed in 1952, feature similar designs: each has a rectangular plan and hipped roof covered in asphalt composition shingles and featuring boxed eaves. All three buildings are clad in wood channel siding and appear to be placed on concrete foundations. The smokehouses at this site vary in window and door arrangement, but generally have wood-sash windows in addition to wood door and window surrounds. At the time of the previous recordation in 2012, this collection of smokehouses included a fourth building that has since been removed from the site.

*B10. Significance (continued):

As a component of the 2012 smokehouse study, Parsons conducted an intensive-level built environment survey of the 28 extant smokehouses located in Port of Long Beach, in addition to more extensive research than was undertaken by CH2M Hill in 2006. Parsons then completed a Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523D (District Record) form for all 28 smokehouses, which provided an evaluation of NRHP and CRHR eligibility. The 2012 523D form disagreed with the 2006 NRHP/CRHR evaluation and, rather, found that the collection of smokehouses in the Port of Long Beach did not appear to meet the eligibility criteria of the NRHP and CRHR. The 2012 Parsons study recommended a California Historical Resource Status Code of 6Z (found ineligible for NRHP, CRHR, or local designation through survey evaluation). The 2012 Parsons study also included DPR 523A (Primary Record) forms prepared for each individual smokehouse within the study area, which included brief building descriptions. It does not appear that either the 2006 CH2M Hill finding of NRHP/CRHR eligibility, or the 2012 Parsons finding of NRHP/CRHR ineligibility, has been provided to the State Historic Preservation Office for formal review and concurrence, and the Port of Long Beach smokehouses do not have an associated status code recorded in the California Historical Resources Inventory.

Historic Context The Port of Long Beach was dedicated in 1911. Occupying the area now known as the inner harbor, it offered an entry channel, three inner channels, a 1,400-foot turning basin, a single municipal pier, and limited water frontage (Queenan 1986:63-68; Port of Long Beach n.d.). Its fortuitous location adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles allowed Long Beach to develop a complementary facility with an early economy based on shipbuilding and repair, lumber transport, fishing and canning, and service to the United States Navy. The Port’s development accelerated with the discovery of oil at Signal Hill in 1921 and at the Wilmington Oil Field in 1932, along with the Navy’s siting of the entire Pacific Fleet at Long Beach in 1932. Oil provided ongoing revenue for construction of a world-class harbor and established the city of Long Beach as a major oil and shipping center. Factories for Ford Motor Company and Proctor and Gamble opened at the Port in 1930. The Navy developed Terminal Island as a shipyard in 1940, and subsequently took command of the Port for the duration of World War II (Queenan 1986:82-116; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

A booming postwar economy allowed Long Beach to enter world markets and remake its facilities to modern standards. The City effectively built a new port over the old between the late 1940s and the early 1970s, enabling Long Beach to serve the trends toward larger ships and containerization. As trade shifted to emerging markets on the Pacific Rim in the 1980s and 1990s, the Port expanded again, dredging to deepen the harbor while building new container terminals and using fill to create open land for movement and storage of containers and trucks. Additional rail facilities were introduced to serve a new land bridge system, allowing goods arriving by ship to be transferred onto

Since 2000, the Port has built a next generation of mega-piers and terminals to serve ever larger container vessels and the continually enlarging volume of cargo (Queenan 1986:123-155; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

Site History The earliest of the Port of Long Beach portable office buildings, known as “smokehouses” or port rest buildings, were constructed in 1929 during a period of expansion for the Port. A master plan completed in the late 1920s laid out a number of facilities improvements for the Port, including warehouses and other support structures, that were implemented at a cost of $2.7 million. The master plan appears to have involved the construction of the first smokehouses, which were placed on skids and were intended to be relocated throughout the Port as necessary to support the conducting of financial transactions (such as handling shipping tariffs). Each of these early smokehouses measured 18’ by 12’, following a design developed by the Port’s construction engineer, Burt L. Craig (Parsons 2012:14). Research did not reveal how many of the 1929 smokehouses were constructed and used in the Port.

The smokehouses constructed in 1952 were differentiated from the 1929 smokehouses through their hipped roofs and larger dimensions (24’ by 30’). The 2012 Parsons study stated that the 1952 smokehouses were likely designed and constructed in response to Assembly Bill (AB) 2737 of 1951, which required that port facilities provide “clean, ventilated, wash room facilities with hot water provided” as a means to improve working conditions and set safety standards for Port employees (Parsons 2012:21). Designed by Port staff, the smokehouses appear to have also functioned as de facto social spaces for longshoremen at the Port. In 1953, the smokehouses received a small amount of local notoriety after nine longshoremen were arrested for gambling in a smokehouse on Pier A, after being caught playing blackjack by a police vice squad (Long Beach Press Telegram 1953:15).

NRHP Evaluation of the Port of Long Beach Smokehouses The following section evaluates the subject property to determine whether it meets the eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as an individual resource. To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, a property must demonstrate significance under one or more of the following criteria:

• Criterion A (Events): Resources that are associated with events that have made a significance contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. • Criterion B (Persons): Resources that are associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history. • Criterion C (Design/Construction): Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values. • Criterion D (Information Potential): Resources that have yielded, or have the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.

ICF affirms Parsons’ 2012 evaluation that the Port of Long Beach smokehouses appear ineligible under NRHP Criterion A. The buildings are not associated with any event(s) of historical significance. The earliest smokehouses documented in the APE, constructed in 1929 and now located at 1335 W. 11th Street, appear to have been constructed in the Port of Long Beach to serve an administrative function related to the handling of tariffs and fees. The smokehouses constructed in 1952 appear to have been the result of state legislation to improve the working conditions of, and provide better facilities for, dockworkers and other Port employees. While these buildings supported the overall operations of the Port at their respective dates of construction by providing space for administrative/financial functions (1929) and employee amenities (1952), the smokehouses did not directly play a supporting role in any significant developments in the economic growth of the Port. Rather, these support buildings were related to daily operations of the Port, reflecting typical financial practices as well as state labor laws that influenced numerous ports in California and were not specific to the historical development of the Port of Long Beach. As such, the Port of Long Beach smokehouses are not significant under NRHP Criterion A.

ICF affirms Parsons’ 2012 evaluation that the Port of Long Beach smokehouses appear to lack associative value with significant persons under NRHP Criterion B. The buildings supported Port operations and were likely used by numerous Port employees over the course of decades, but no individual would have had a sustained association with the smokehouses to the extent necessary to imbue significance under Criterion B. As the buildings do not have significance within the context of the Port of Long Beach’s economic development and labor relations, individuals affiliated with the buildings would not have contributed substantially to local, California, or national history through their day-to-day involvement in the buildings’ functions. As such, the Port of Long Beach smokehouses are not significant under NRHP Criterion B.

ICF affirms Parsons’ 2012 evaluation that the Port of Long Beach smokehouses appear ineligible under NRHP Criterion C. The buildings are modest in scale and architectural features, and exhibit basic characteristics that include wood channel siding, wood window and door surrounds, and exposed rafter tails, which are reminiscent of early-twentieth-century Craftsman-style residential architecture. Two smokehouses at 1335 W. 11th Street, constructed in 1929, are the earliest of the nine smokehouses within the APE and are the most

*Recorded by Jon Rusch, ICF *Date November 15, 2019  Continuation  Update modest in design: apart from wood channel siding and exposed rafter tails, they lack distinguishing architectural characteristics. The remaining Port of Long Beach smokehouses located within the APE were designed and constructed during the early 1950s and are somewhat more detailed in their window and door treatments; however, these buildings were designed and constructed over two decades after their general characteristics had been prevalent in American residential architecture. Furthermore, the three smokehouses located at 555 Pico Avenue appear to have been modified heavily since their construction and through changes to their window and door openings, and now stand on concrete foundations such that they are no longer portable buildings as they were originally intended. The smokehouses do not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction. The nine smokehouses under evaluation reflect an undistinguished building design and construction methods appearing to have been designed by Port staff, such that the buildings do not appear to be the work of a master design professional or builder or have high architectural value. As such, the Port of Long Beach smokehouses are not significant under NRHP Criterion C.

The Port of Long Beach smokehouses do not have the potential to provide significant information to support an understanding of prehistory or history, which most commonly applies to archaeological resources. The buildings are common examples of relatively simple twentieth- century construction that would not yield information important to prehistory or history. The subject buildings are not significant under NRHP Criterion D.

In conclusion, the nine Port of Long Beach smokehouses within the APE, located at 1335 W. 11th Street and 555 Pico Avenue, are evaluated as ineligible for listing in the NRHP due to their lack of historical and architectural significance.

Detailed Description (Discuss overall coherence of the district, its setting, visual characteristics, and minor features. List all elements of district.):

The 28 extant smokehouses are located throughout the Port of Long Beach (Port or POLB). The total number of smokehouses constructed is not known but is estimated to be around 30 based upon Port records. The smokehouses were constructed during two periods: 1929 and 1952. The 1929 buildings were constructed as office buildings presumably to house the tariff collectors. The 1952 buildings were constructed to provide state mandated rest rooms on the docks for the longshoremen. Of the 28 extant smokehouses, six date to 1929, and 22 date to 1952. The buildings were designed to be moved around the Port as needs changed. The buildings have been used to support Port operations since their construction. The buildings conditions vary based upon maintenance and exposure to the harsh marine environment in which they are located.

*D4. Boundary Description (Describe limits of district and attach map showing boundary and district elements.):

The project study area is the current boundary of the Port property. The Port is bordered by the Long Beach Harbor to the south and southwest, the City of Long Beach/City of Los Angeles boundary to the southwest and west, Anaheim Street to the north, and the Los Angeles River and Queensway Bay to the east. Some privately owned land is located within the Port Planning areas known as Northeast and North Harbors (roughly bounded by 10th Street to the south, 9th Street to the southwest and west, Anaheim Street to the north, and Interstate 710 to the east), but the Port is the largest landowner in this sub-area. The smokehouses are randomly scattered throughout the Port property including the North Harbor; however, the buildings are largely not extant in modern multi-modal container terminals

*D5. Boundary Justification: The buildings were constructed by the Port for use throughout its facility as described above.

National Register Criterion A; California Register Criterion 1: Event The smokehouses are located throughout the Port, and were constructed in 1929 and 1952. Research was conducted to determine if historically important events occurred at the Port. No historically significant events on the federal, state, or local level are known to have occurred at the Port. The 1929-era smokehouses were likely constructed to house Port agents collecting tariffs, which was a common practice at that time throughout all U.S. ports. The 1952-era smokehouses were likely constructed as a result of AB 2737; however, similar facilities would have been constructed at all ports in California as a result of this legislation, which does not appear to represent a historically (see continuation sheets 2 and 3)

significant event. The smokehouses do not appear to be associated with a specific event marking an important moment in American history, and the buildings do not appear to be associated with a pattern of events or historic trends that made a significant contribution to the development of a community, a state, or the nation. Therefore, the smokehouses do not appear eligible for listing in the National Register or the California Register under Criterion A or 1, respectively.

National Register Criterion B; California Register Criterion 2: Person The smokehouses were designed, constructed, and used by Port employees. Research was conducted to determine if the buildings are associated with individuals who specific contributions to history can be identified and documented. The 1930s appear to be the apex of longshoremen’s union activities, in terms of defining and establishing their roles at ports throughout the nation, and Harry Bridges appears to be the most noteworthy person of this movement on the west coast. Harry Bridges worked primarily in the San Francisco port, until the ILWU established itself as a national union. Because no persons associated with these historic events are known to be directly associated with these buildings, the buildings do not appear eligible for the National Register or the California Register under Criterion B or 2, respectively.

National Register Criterion C; California Register Criterion 3: Design/Construction The buildings are low-style examples of residential-inspired architecture, and were constructed using common building materials and methods. Therefore, the buildings do not embody distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction. The buildings do not exhibit high artistic values, because they are unadorned, and were designed and constructed in a utilitarian manner. The as-built drawings for the smokehouses indicate the buildings were designed by Port staff, who are not known to be masters. Therefore the buildings do not appear eligible for listing in the National Register or the California Register under Criterion C or 3, respectively.

Integrity Generally, the smokehouses possess the seven aspects of integrity: setting, location, design, materials, feeling, association, and workmanship. The smokehouses were designed to be moved throughout the Port on an as-needed basis, and are still located within the Port boundary. Therefore, the smokehouses retain integrity of setting, location, and association. Of the 28 extant smokehouses at the Port, 11 have been altered and four are in poor condition due to deferred maintenance. Common alterations include window opening reconfigurations and replacement windows. Therefore, the smokehouses generally retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling. 4.2 Application of City of Long Beach Criteria

The City of Long Beach Historic Context Statement in 2009 (Sapphos Environmental Inc.). provides a framework for the investigation of the City of Long Beach’s historic resources; serve as a tool for preservation planning; and provide historic preservation specialists, planners, and the public with guidance in assessing the significance of Long Beach’s built environment.” The following criteria were established in order evaluate the significance of buildings and structures associated with the Port:

To qualify for the NRHP, CRHR, or local listing under this theme, a resource must have been constructed between circa 1900 and 1965 and should retain sufficient integrity such that the resource continues to convey its original use. To qualify for the NRHP, any resource associated with the history of the [Port] must possess an exceptionally high level of historic integrity to qualify under Criterion A (association with a particular historical theme).

(See Continuation Sheet 3)

The smokehouses were constructed in 1929 and 1952, and therefore, meet the age criterion identified in the Long Beach Historic Context Statement (Sapphos Environmental Inc. 2009). The smokehouses also possess sufficient integrity to convey their original use. As demonstrated in Section 4.1.1, the smokehouses are not associated with a particular historical theme. Furthermore, the smokehouses do not possess an exceptionally high level of historic integrity to qualify under Criterion A for listing in the National Register (see Section 4.1.4).

To qualify for the CRHR, a property may be individually eligible according to Criterion 1 (association with “events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States”).

As demonstrated in Section 4.1.1, the smokehouses are not associated with “events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. Therefore, the smokehouses do not qualify for the California Register under Criterion 1.

For local eligibility as an individual resource, a resource associated with the history of harbor development in Long Beach may be eligible under Criterion A (“possesses a significant character, interest, or value attributable to the development, heritage or cultural characteristics of the city, the Southern California region, the state or the nation”), Criterion D (“portrays . . . an era of history characterized by a distinctive architectural style”), Criterion H (“is part of or related to a distinctive area and should be developed or preserved according to a specific historical, cultural or architectural motif”), or Criterion K (“one of the few remaining examples in the city, region, state or nation possessing distinguishing characteristics of an architectural or historical type”) (Sapphos Environmental, Inc. 2009).

As demonstrated in Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, the smokehouses do not possess a significant character, interest, or value attributable to the development, heritage, or cultural characteristics of the city, the southern California region, the state, or the nation.

As demonstrated in Section 4.1.3, the smokehouses do not portray an era of history characterized by a distinctive architectural style. The smokehouses were designed to be moved throughout the Port; therefore, the buildings are not part of or related to a distinctive area and should not be developed or preserved according to a specific historic, cultural or architectural motif. The smokehouses are utilitarian examples of residential-inspired architecture, which do not possess distinguishing characteristics of an architectural or historical type. Therefore, the smokehouses do not meet the criteria for local eligibility.

* P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) The one-story smokehouse has a rectangular footprint, and is 12-feet wide and 18 feet long. The front-gabled roof is, with exposed rafter tails, is clad in compositions shingles. The primary façade is asymmetrical with a single wood door flanked by a wood one- over-one window. Fenestration on the long facades consists of a pair of one-over-one wood windows and a single one-over-one wood window. The door and window openings are accented with wood surrounds. The exterior walls are clad in clapboard siding. The interior cladding materials were not identified on the original plan for Standard Portable Office Buildings, and are unknown (City of Long Beach, Office of the Harbor Engineer, 1929, Standards for Portable Office Bldg.). The building was constructed on two 6 X 8 skids for ease of transport within the Port of Long Beach (Port or POLB). Alterations include window reconfiguations and removal.

The building is located within the Port, which is its original setting. The boundary of the building is its footprint because it was designed to moved throughout the Port as needed. The building has been altered, but has been maintained and is in good condition.

* P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) The one-story smokehouse has a rectangular footprint, and is 12-feet wide and 18 feet long. The front-gabled roof is, with exposed rafter tails, is clad in compositions shingles. The primary façade is asymmetrical with a single wood door flanked by a wood one- over-one window. Fenestration on the long facades consists of a pair of one-over-one wood windows and a single one-over-one wood window. The door and window openings are accented with wood surrounds. The exterior walls are clad in clapboard siding. The interior cladding materials were not identified on the original plan for Standard Portable Office Buildings, and are unknown (City of Long Beach, Office of the Harbor Engineer, 1929, Standards for Portable Office Bldg.). The building was constructed on two 6 X 8 skids for ease of transport within the Port of Long Beach (Port or POLB). The building appears to be unaltered.

The building is located within the Port, which is its original setting. The boundary of the building is its footprint because it was designed to moved throughout the Port as needed. The building appears to be unaltered, well maintained, and in good condition.

* P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) The one-story smokehouse has a rectangular footprint, and is 24-feet wide and 30-feet long. The hipped roof, with exposed rafter tails, is clad in composition shingles. A metal vent is located near the apex of the roof on the primary façade. The primary façade is symmetrical with a centrally located wood door flanked on both sides with two-over-two wood sash windows. A second entry is centrally located on the rear façade. The windows and doorway are accented with wood surrounds. Paired two-over-two wood sash windows are centrally located on the remaining three facades. The exterior walls are clad in 1 X 6 wood clapboard siding. The interior cladding materials were not identified on the original plan, elevation, and details drawing, and therefore, are unknown (City of Long Beach, Harbor Department 1952, Drawing No. 10517). The building was constructed on three skids for ease of transport within the Port of Long Beach (Port or POLB). This smokehouse appears to be unaltered, however the design varies from the original in that the second set of paired windows does not flank the door (left of frame).

The building is located within the Port, which is its original setting. The boundary of the building is its footprint because it was designed to moved throughout the Port as needed. The building appears to be unaltered and is in good condition.

* P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) The one-story smokehouse has a rectangular footprint, and is 24-feet wide and 30-feet long. The hipped roof, with exposed rafter tails, is clad in composition shingles. A metal vent is located near the apex of the roof on the primary façade. The primary façade is symmetrical with a centrally located wood door flanked on both sides with two-over-two wood sash windows. A second entry is centrally located on the rear façade. The windows and doorway are accented with wood surrounds. Paired two-over-two wood sash windows are centrally located on the remaining three facades. The exterior walls are clad in 1 X 6 wood clapboard siding. The interior cladding materials were not identified on the original plan, elevation, and details drawing, and therefore, are unknown (City of Long Beach, Harbor Department 1952, Drawing No. 10517). The building was constructed on three skids for ease of transport within the Port of Long Beach (Port or POLB). Alterations include: rough texture stucco, window reconfigurations and replacements, and the primary entry door has been moved.

The building is located within the Port, which is its original setting. The boundary of the building is its footprint because it was designed to moved throughout the Port as needed. The building has been drastically altered, but is maintained and is good condition.

* P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) The Connolly Pacific Company building consists of two 1952 smokehouses joined by an addition. Each smokehouse historically is one-story with a rectangular footprint, and is 24-feet wide and 30-feet long. The hipped roof, with exposed rafter tails, is clad in composition shingles. A metal eyebrown vent is located near the apex of the roof on each bay of the primary façade. The primary façade historically is symmetrical with a centrally located wood door flanked on both sides with two-over-two wood sash windows. A second entry is centrally located on the rear façade. The windows and doorway are accented with wood surrounds. Paired two-over-two wood sash windows are centrally located on the remaining three facades. In this case, the northerly smokehouse is oriented so the rear façade joins the central bay, and the southerly smokehouse is oriented so the primary façade faces the parking lot. The exterior walls are clad in 1 X 6 wood clapboard siding. The smokehouse buildings were constructed on three skids for ease of transport within the Port of Long Beach (Port or POLB). The interior cladding materials were not identified on the original plan, elevation, and details drawing, and therefore, are unknown (City of Long Beach, Harbor Department 1952, Drawing No. 10517). The central bay addition is of similar materials and design and houses a fire-proof safe and offices.

P3a. Description continued:

A metal vent is located near the apex of the roof on the primary façade. The primary façade is symmetrical with a centrally located wood door flanked on both sides with two-over-two wood sash windows. A second entry is centrally located on the rear façade. The windows and doorway are accented with wood surrounds. Paired one-over-one wood sash windows are centrally located on the remaining three facades. The exterior walls are clad in 1 X 6 wood clapboard siding. The interior cladding materials were not identified on the original plan, elevation, and details drawing, and therefore, are unknown (City of Long Beach, Harbor Department 1952, Drawing No. 10517). The building was constructed on three skids for ease of transport within the Port of Long Beach (Port or POLB). Alterations include the facades of the buildings have been removed or altered as necessary to create a functioning interior circulation system.

The buildings are located within the Port, which is the original setting. The boundary of the buildings are the original footprint because it was designed to moved throughout the Port as needed. The buildings have been altered, but are maintained and in good condition.

Construction History: (Construction date, alteration, and date of alterations)

A building permit was issued in 1949 for the construction of a new building, with a plan measuring 40’ x 40’ and a height of 18’. The building would serve as a “marine services and repair” facility. The construction materials were listed as aluminum and concrete; construction costs were $6,000. A site plan included with the building permit indicates that the permitted construction would occur set back from W. 11th Street, so that the permit appears to relate to the concrete-block volume that currently forms the central volume of the resource. A second permit from 1949 authorized the construction of partition walls (City of Long Beach 1949). A 1958 permit identifies the owner of the building at that time as Environmental & Development Laboratories, Inc., which planned to “install interior partitions and ceilings for dust protection in lab building” (City of Long Beach 1958). Environmental & Development Laboratories also received a permit the following year to “construct a dust-protecting cover on edge of property for equipment which is now exposed to the weather” (City of Long Beach 1959). The final available building permit indicates that the “warehouse” (likely the corrugated-metal volume at the rear of the property, which was originally a separate building) had experienced fire damage and would be repaired. Aerial photographs indicate the front stucco-clad volume had been constructed by 1980. The date the rear warehouse was joined with the front volumes is not known.

Historic Context The Port of Long Beach was dedicated in 1911. Occupying the area now known as the inner harbor, it offered an entry channel, three inner channels, a 1,400-foot turning basin, a single municipal pier, and limited water frontage (Queenan 1986:63-68; Port of Long Beach n.d.). Its fortuitous location adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles allowed Long Beach to develop a complementary facility with an early economy based on shipbuilding and repair, lumber transport, fishing and canning, and service to the United States Navy. The Port’s development accelerated with the discovery of oil at Signal Hill in 1921 and at the Wilmington Oil Field in 1932, along with the Navy’s siting of the entire Pacific Fleet at Long Beach in 1932. Oil provided ongoing revenue for construction of a world-class harbor and established the city of Long Beach as a major oil and shipping center. Factories for Ford Motor Company and Proctor and Gamble opened at the Port in 1930. The Navy developed Terminal Island as a shipyard in 1940, and subsequently took command of the Port for the duration of World War II (Queenan 1986:82-116; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

*P3a. Description (continued):

The front volume of 1368 W. 11th Street is attached to a slightly lower, flat-roofed volume constructed of concrete block. This volume, which appears to be the original component of the building constructed in 1949, is visible from the public right-of-way only at Harbor Avenue and contains no openings. A portable shipping container is placed adjacent to this volume. A rear volume projects to the south and is clad in corrugated metal panels. This volume was originally built as a separate warehouse and later joined to the rest of the building. The roof of the rear warehouse volume is slightly pitched, and the volume features a vehicular entrance with a metal overhead roll-up door. The rear façade of the rear volume faces a mid-block alley and features one door behind a metal security grate.

The eastern parcel (APN 7436004908), addressed 1360 W. 11th Street, contains a storage yard surrounded by a perimeter fence constructed of corrugated metal and metal chain link. The primary vehicular entrance to the yard is a rolling metal gate located at W. 11th Street. The storage yard appears to contain three shed-roofed storage canopies, as well as stacked portable shipping containers, arranged around a central drive.

*B10. Significance (continued):

A booming postwar economy allowed Long Beach to enter world markets and remake its facilities to modern standards. The City effectively built a new port over the old between the late 1940s and the early 1970s, enabling Long Beach to serve the trends toward larger ships and containerization. As trade shifted to emerging markets on the Pacific Rim in the 1980s and 1990s, the Port expanded again, dredging to deepen the harbor while building new container terminals and using fill to create open land for movement and storage of containers and trucks. Additional rail facilities were introduced to serve a new land bridge system, allowing goods arriving by ship to be transferred onto truck and rail transit for shipping nationwide. Since 2000, the Port has built a next generation of mega-piers and terminals to serve ever larger container vessels and the continually enlarging volume of cargo (Queenan 1986:123-155; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

Site History The location of the subject building is within the Long Beach Harbor Tract and stands north of the historic North Harbor area of the Port of Long Beach. Topographic maps reveal that in the first decades of the twentieth century, this area was traversed by one primary east-west thoroughfare, the current-day Anaheim Street, as well as the diagonal alignment of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s Long Beach Branch line, which crossed tidal areas lying near Long Beach’s inner harbor. A grid of city streets was laid through this area of northwestern Long Beach during the 1920s, and the small settlement of Gaspur sprang up along the Pacific Electric’s Long Beach Line. W. 9th Street first appears on available topographic maps in 1942, aligned at a diagonal parallel to the adjacent Southern Pacific rail line, and formed a wedge-shaped district of small blocks located south of Anaheim Street. This district was bisected by the Pacific Electric rail line (in the current-day alignment of 12th Street) until the 1960s, when the tracks were pulled up. The surrounding area grew more industrial in character following the end of World War II as new small-scale industrial plants filled in the parcels along thoroughfares such as West Anaheim Street and East I Street (which closely followed the alignment of the Long Beach Line) (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 1923-2014). Industrial processing and shipment-oriented businesses in the area have benefited from their proximity to numerous transportation routes—specifically active rail lines, elevated freeways, and the expanding Port of Long Beach—and continue to support the processing and movement of goods that drives the Port’s operations. The area is currently accessible from the Port of Long Beach for overweight freight traffic via designated overweight street routes on 9th Street, West Anaheim Street, and Santa Fe Avenue (Port of Long Beach 2019).

The first section of the subject building at 1368 W. 11th Street was built in 1948 as a small marine service and repair facility. The original volume was set back from W. 11th Street. The original building permit, which identified the owner of the property as Swain and Knowles (City of Long Beach 1949), and city directories in the early 1950s listed its tenant as Swain’s Industrial Engine Service. The owner during the late 1950s, as listed on building permits, was Environmental & Development Laboratories, Inc., which appears to have adapted the property for laboratory research. Research did not uncover any additional information on the original owner or Environmental & Development Laboratories, Inc. Available aerial photographs indicate the front stucco-clad volume was constructed by 1980, possibly to provide additional office space. At that time, the rear corrugated-metal volume was a separate building and was later joined to the front volumes through a shed-roofed extension. The current tenant of the building and storage yard is Biltmore Metal Fabricators.

NRHP Evaluation of 1360-1368 W. 11th Street The following section evaluates the subject property to determine whether it meets the eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as an individual resource.

The building was constructed in phases beginning in 1949, first as a marine service and repair shop, Swain’s Industrial Engine Service; it appears to have been converted to a laboratory in the 1950s and expanded through the construction of new building volumes that supported its tenants’ operations. No information has been located on Swain’s Industrial Engine Service, the tenant identified in 1950s building permits, Environmental & Development Laboratories, Inc., or the current tenant, Biltmore Metal Fabricators. No tenant of the building appears to have made significant contributions to their industries. The building was constructed during a period when numerous similarly scaled industrial and commercial facilities were built in proximity to the Port of Long Beach North Harbor and associated transportation infrastructure. Research did not yield any evidence that the property is associated with any events important to local, state, or national history. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion A.

Under NRHP Criterion B, the property at 1360-1368 W. 11th Street appears to lack associative value with significant persons. Research uncovered no substantial information on the 1971 owner of the parcel, Swain and Knowles; no other individual owners or occupants of the building have been identified. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion B.

Under NRHP Criterion C, the property at 1360-1368 W. 11th Street lacks distinctive architectural character. The building expresses a utilitarian design; the oldest volume, built in 1949, is constructed of concrete block and does not have any noteworthy architectural features. Other components of the building constructed later include the front stucco-clad volume, rear corrugated-metal warehouse, and adjacent storage yard with metal canopy structures. The resource has an undistinguished building design and construction methods and does not embody a noteworthy type, period, region, or method of construction. The designer of the original building volume, J.T. Wilson, and the original contractor do not appear to be master design professionals/builders. As a result, the building does not have high architectural value and is not significant under NRHP Criterion C.

The property at 1360-1368 W. 11th Street does not have the potential to provide significant information to support an understanding of prehistory or history, which most commonly applies to archaeological resources. The building is a common example of a post-World War II industrial complex that would not yield information important to prehistory or history. The subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion D.

In conclusion, the subject property at 1360-1368 W. 11th Street is evaluated as ineligible for listing in the NRHP due to its lack of historical and architectural significance.

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)

Constructed in 1947, the utilitarian commercial building at 1130 Santa Fe Avenue is one story in height with 20-foot-tall ceilings and has a rectangular plan. The building’s roof is flat, and its exterior walls are concrete block covered in 2-inch solid stucco. The building displays a minimal amount of architectural character. The primary façade, which today faces north, has been painted with the words “DJ Auto Body Parts Inc.” and the company’s phone number. It appears this was historically the rear of the building. A garage door with a rolling door provides the primary access, and a multi-pane window has been filled in and painted over. Another garage door of the same style is on the south side of the building. The east façade of the building is largely obscured by a storage yard located within the adjacent parcel but does not appear to feature any openings. It appears that the two bays originally featured mirror-image arrangements of windows and doors, although the door in the eastern bay has been infilled. Above the entrance and windows, a projecting canopy with grooved fascia profile spans the width of the façade. Two sets of large picture windows are located on the southwest corner of the building covered by a metal awning that wraps around the building’s corner. It appears the set of corner windows with awning was used as a storefront. On either side of the window unit is a single door, one on the west façade, and one on the south façade. All doors and windows are covered by metal security bars, including four other windows on the west and south facades.

A building permit was issued in 1947 for the construction of a 20-foot-tall soft drink bottling and distribution warehouse, with 2-inch solid stucco exterior walls and a composition roof. The dimensions of the building were 40’ wide x 100’ long, and the building was sited on the west side of the parcel. The permit listed the cost of construction at $13,000 (City of Long Beach 1947). The engineer listed on the permit was Vern D. Hedden. A second permit was issued in 1948 for a 30’ x 100’ addition to the east side of the building. The permit listed the cost of construction at $7,589. Paul Poltz was listed as the contractor and Vern D Hedden was listed as the engineer. The permit listed the use of the addition for “bottling works” (City of Long Beach 1948). A third permit was issued in 1963 for work related to windows for an office, however due to the handwriting on the building permit being illegible, no other information can be understood (City of Long Beach 1963). Additional alterations identified by visual inspection include the filling in of a window on the north façade; this change is undated.

Historic Context The Port of Long Beach was dedicated in 1911. Occupying the area now known as the inner harbor, it offered an entry channel, three inner channels, a 1,400-foot turning basin, a single municipal pier, and limited water frontage (Queenan 1986:63-68; Port of Long Beach n.d.). Its fortuitous location adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles allowed Long Beach to develop a complementary facility with an early economy based on shipbuilding and repair, lumber transport, fishing and canning, and service to the United States Navy. The Port’s development accelerated with the discovery of oil at Signal Hill in 1921 and at the Wilmington Oil Field in 1932, along with the Navy’s siting of the entire Pacific Fleet at Long Beach in 1932. Oil provided ongoing revenue for construction of a world-class harbor and established the city of Long Beach as a major oil and shipping center. Factories for Ford Motor Company and Proctor and Gamble opened at the Port in 1930. The Navy developed Terminal Island as a shipyard in 1940, and subsequently took command of the Port for the duration of World War II (Queenan 1986:82-116; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

*B10. Significance (continued):

A booming postwar economy allowed Long Beach to enter world markets and remake its facilities to modern standards. The City effectively built a new port over the old between the late 1940s and the early 1970s, enabling Long Beach to serve the trends toward larger ships and containerization. As trade shifted to emerging markets on the Pacific Rim in the 1980s and 1990s, the Port expanded again, dredging to deepen the harbor while building new container terminals and using fill to create open land for movement and storage of containers and trucks. Additional rail facilities were introduced to serve a new land bridge system, allowing goods arriving by ship to be transferred onto truck and rail transit for shipping nationwide. Since 2000, the Port has built a next generation of mega-piers and terminals to serve ever larger container vessels and the continually enlarging volume of cargo (Queenan 1986:123-155; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

Site History The location of the subject building is north of the historic North Harbor area of the Port of Long Beach. Topographic maps reveal that in the first decades of the twentieth century, this area was traversed by one primary east-west thoroughfare, the current-day Anaheim Street, as well as the diagonal alignment of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s Long Beach Branch line, which crossed tidal areas lying near Long Beach’s inner harbor. A grid of city streets was laid through this area of northwestern Long Beach during the 1920s, and the small settlement of Gaspur sprang up along the Pacific Electric’s Long Beach Line. W. 9th Street first appears on available topographic maps in 1942, aligned at a diagonal parallel to the adjacent Southern Pacific rail line, and formed a wedge-shaped district of small blocks located south of Anaheim Street. This district was bisected by the Pacific Electric rail line (in the current-day alignment of 12th Street) until the 1960s, when the tracks were pulled up. The surrounding area grew more industrial in character following the end of World War II as new small-scale industrial plants filled in the parcels along thoroughfares such as West Anaheim Street and East I Street (which closely followed the alignment of the Long Beach Line) (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 1923-2014). Industrial processing and shipment-oriented businesses in the area have benefited from their close proximity to numerous transportation routes—specifically active rail lines, elevated freeways, and the expanding Port of Long Beach—and continue to support the processing and movement of goods that drives the Port’s operations. The area is currently accessible from the Port of Long Beach for overweight freight traffic via designated overweight street routes on 9th Street, West Anaheim Street, and Santa Fe Avenue (Port of Long Beach 2019).

The subject building was constructed in 1947 by Henry E White and an additional was constructed in 1948 that nearly doubled its size. The building permit listed the engineer of both the original construction and addition as Vern D Hedden. The building was built for soda bottling and distribution. Hedden was a well-known engineer in southern California and had written the new Long Beach building code following the 1933 earthquake (Press Telegram 1966). Newspaper articles and building permits indicate that bottling was not the building’s only use. The building is listed in rental ads in 1955 and 1957 (Press Telegram 1955; Press Telegram 1957). By 1958, a Metropolitan Plywood Material store occupied the building (Press Telegram 1958). A building permit from 1963 created office space in the industrial building. Since 1991, the building has been occupied by DJ Auto Body Parts, Inc., and houses their corporate office and headquarters. The company sells aftermarket auto body parts (DJ Auto Body Parts, Inc. 2019).

NRHP Evaluation of 1130 Santa Fe Avenue The following section evaluates the subject property to determine whether it meets the eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as an individual resource. To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, a property must demonstrate significance under one or more of the following criteria:

• Criterion A (Events): Resources that are associated with events that have made a significance contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. • Criterion B (Persons): Resources that are associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history. • Criterion C (Design/Construction): Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values. • Criterion D (Information Potential): Resources that have yielded, or have the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.

Under NRHP Criterion A, the property at 1130 Santa Fe Avenue does not appear to be associated with any event(s) significant in history. The building was constructed in 1947 for an industrial use as a bottling and distribution warehouse. Over the next few decades, newspaper articles and building permits reveal the building changed ownership and use several times, with use as a Metropolitan Plywood Material store in 1958 and use as an industrial warehouse for “bagging minerals’ in 1978. Since 1991, the building has housed the corporate office and headquarters of DJ Auto Body Parts. The building was constructed during a period when numerous similarly scaled industrial and commercial facilities were built near the Wilmington and Long Beach border, in close proximity to the Port of Long Beach and associated transportation infrastructure. Research did not yield any evidence that the property is associated with any events important to local, state, or national history. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion A.

Under NRHP Criterion B, the property at 1130 Santa Fe Avenue appears to lack associative value with significant persons. Henry E White was the original owner of the parcel. White was a member of the Long Beach Mounted Police Patrol and elected secretary-treasurer in 1948, yet no substantial information on White was uncovered through research. The Metropolitan Plywood Material store occupied the property in 1958. Theodore T Viokette was the owner of the property in 1978, and since 1991, DJ Auto Body Parts has occupied the property. No other owners or occupants of the building have been identified. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion B.

Under NRHP Criterion C, the property at 1130 Santa Fe Avenue lacks distinctive architectural character. The building is utilitarian in design, characterized by stucco cladding and a corner window with a metal awning. It reflects an undistinguished building design and construction methods and does not embody a noteworthy type, period, region, or method of construction. Vern D Hedden was the engineer of the original 1947 construction and the 1948 addition. Hedden wrote the new Long Beach building code after the 1933 earthquake and was instrumental in the reconstruction of many downtown buildings after the disaster. Although the property at 1130 Santa Fe Avenue was constructed by a master builder, it is not among one of his well-known works. As a result, the building does not have high architectural value and is not significant under NRHP Criterion C.

The property at 1130 Santa Fe Avenue does not have the potential to provide significant information to support an understanding of prehistory or history, which most commonly applies to archaeological resources. The building is a common example of a post-World War II industrial building that would not yield information important to prehistory or history. The subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion D.

In conclusion, the subject property at 1130 Santa Fe Avenue is evaluated as ineligible for listing in the NRHP due to its lack of historical and architectural significance.

The property at 1342 W. 11th Street is a utilitarian commercial building constructed in 1958. The one-story, rectangular-plan, flat-roofed building with flush roof was built as a commercial office support building for the Bilt-Rite Sailmakers, Inc., who had built a warehouse/shop on the south end of the parcel in 1946. The building’s exterior facades are covered with stucco and feature a minimal amount of architectural character. The primary façade (facing north toward W. 11th Street) features a pedestrian door with a security gate and an adjacent metal- frame window. An awning covers both the primary door and adjacent window. The address “1342” is applied over the stucco in bold numbers and flood lights are attached to the building above the numbers. A concrete apron with brick border extends from the main door. The south façade features a central, large sliding-track door, and the east façade features three metal-frame windows with security bars. The fenced site contains what appears to be vehicular storage.

A building permit was issued in 1946 for the construction of an 18-foot tall building located on the south side of the subject parcel, to serve as a “warehouse or small shop.” The owner listed for the 20’ x 50’ building was Harold Coon and the engineer was Victor E Sicket (City of Long Beach 1946). No additional building permits are available, yet historic aerial imagery and assessor data reveals the building located on the north of the subject parcel was added in 1958 (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 1958). The 1946 building was demolished between 2014 and 2016 (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 2016).

Topographic maps reveal that in the first decades of the twentieth century, this area was traversed by one primary east-west thoroughfare, the current-day Anaheim Street, as well as the diagonal alignment of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s Long Beach Branch line, which crossed tidal areas lying near Long Beach’s inner harbor. A grid of city streets was laid through this area of northwestern Long Beach during the 1920s, and the small settlement of Gaspur sprang up along the Pacific Electric’s Long Beach Line. W. 9th Street first appears on available topographic maps in 1942, aligned at a diagonal parallel to the adjacent Southern Pacific rail line, and formed a wedge-shaped district of small blocks located south of Anaheim Street. This district was bisected by the Pacific Electric rail line (in the current-day alignment of 12th Street) until the 1960s, when the tracks were pulled up. The surrounding area grew more industrial in character following the end of World War II as new small-scale industrial plants filled in the parcels along thoroughfares such as West Anaheim Street and East I Street (which closely followed the alignment of the Long Beach Line) (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 1923-2014). Industrial processing and shipment-oriented businesses in the area have benefited from their close proximity to numerous transportation routes—specifically active rail lines, elevated freeways, and the expanding Port of Long Beach—and continue to support the processing and movement of goods that drives the Port’s operations. The area is currently accessible from the Port of Long Beach for overweight freight traffic via designated overweight street routes on 9th Street, West Anaheim Street, and Santa Fe Avenue (Port of Long Beach 2019).

The subject building was constructed in 1958 by Harold Coon as an administrative building for the Bilt-Rite Sailmakers, Inc. on the north end of the subject parcel. A decade earlier, Coon had built a warehouse on the south end of the parcel when he had started the company in 1946. Harold Coon was one of the original members of the Independent Press Telegram staff in 1939 and had a successful career in journalism and advertising before he devoted his full attention to sailing and the Bilt-Rite Sailmakers, Inc. (Press Telegram 1953). Newspaper articles and city directories indicate that the Bilt-Rite Sailmakers, Inc. occupied the subject parcel from 1946 through at least 1975. The company rented, sold, and repaired marine and commercial canvas such as tents and sails. Research did not identify tenants following the Bilt-Rite Sailmakers, Inc., including the present occupant. The 1946 warehouse building was demolished between 2014 and 2016. Since that time, the parcel seems to be shared with the adjacent parcel to the east (7436-004-023) for use as vehicle storage. The present owners of the parcel are ADL Transport LLC, a professional trucking company.

NRHP Evaluation of 1342 W. 11th Street The following section evaluates the subject property to determine whether it meets the eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as an individual resource. To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, a property must demonstrate significance under one or more of the following criteria:

• Criterion A (Events): Resources that are associated with events that have made a significance contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. • Criterion B (Persons): Resources that are associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history. • Criterion C (Design/Construction): Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values. • Criterion D (Information Potential): Resources that have yielded, or have the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.

Under NRHP Criterion A, the property at 1342 W. 11th Street does not appear to be associated with any event(s) significant in history. Although constructed in 1958 as a small administrative office building north of the 1946 warehouse for the Bilt-Rite Sailmakers, Inc., the property is not known to be associated with events relating to manufacturing or the sailing industry that have made a significant contributing to the broad patterns of history. The building was constructed during a period when numerous similarly scaled industrial and commercial facilities were built near the Wilmington and Long Beach border, in close proximity to the Port of Long Beach and associated transportation infrastructure. Research did not yield any evidence that the property is associated with any events important to local, state, or national history. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion A.

*Recorded by Shannon Sawyer, ICF *Date November 15, 2019  Continuation  Update

Under NRHP Criterion B, the property at 1342 W. 11th Street appears to lack associative value with significant persons. Harold Coon was the owner of the original 1946 building on the south end of the parcel and owned the property during the construction of the 1958 building located on the north end of the parcel. Coon was an original member of the Independent Press Telegram staff in 1939 who later changed careers from journalism and advertising to sailing. Although Coon was the owner of 1342 W. 11th Street property, research did not yield information that his life was significant to our past. ADL Transport LLC is the current occupant of the property. No other owners or occupants of the building have been identified. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion B.

Under NRHP Criterion C, the property at 1342 W. 11th Street lacks distinctive architectural character. The building is utilitarian in design, characterized by stucco cladding and an awning over the main door and adjacent window. It reflects an undistinguished building design and construction methods and does not embody a noteworthy type, period, region, or method of construction. Its designer is not known, and the building does not appear to be the work of a master design professional or builder. As a result, the building does not have high architectural value and is not significant under NRHP Criterion C.

The property at 1342 W. 11th Street does not have the potential to provide significant information to support an understanding of prehistory or history, which most commonly applies to archaeological resources. The building is a common example of a post-World War II commercial administrative building that would not yield information important to prehistory or history. The subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion D.

In conclusion, the subject property at 1342 W. 11th Street is evaluated as ineligible for listing in the NRHP due to its lack of historical and architectural significance.

Constructed in c. 1946-1955, the utilitarian commercial building at 1556 W. 11th Street is one story in height and has a generally rectangular plan on a concrete slab foundation (Figure 1). The building has a sawtooth roof comprising two shed roof forms with a small, rectangular extension with a flat roof to the south (rear) of the building. Its exterior façades are clad in smooth stucco. The primary façade faces north and features a single automobile entry located east of center, which is composed of a large corrugated metal slider door. A large temporary metal-framed canopy is affixed to a portion of the north façade. A small temporary shed clad in vertical-groove T1-11 composite wood siding resides west of the canopy, along the primary façade. A single aluminum slider window is located on the west façade, along with a sign for Jon’s Body Shop, the building’s current tenant. The south (rear) façade is mostly blocked from view from the public right-of-way but appears to contain minimal fenestration.

Tax Assessor data indicates that the subject building was constructed in 1946; however, an original building permit with that date was not uncovered. Furthermore, historic aerial photographs dated 1953 do not show the subject building in its current location (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC. 1953-1963). 1963 is the earliest historic aerial to show the subject building (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC. 1953-1963). A 1955 building permit for 1556 W. 11th Street notes that a portion of the building (or another building) was to be moved, with a note reading “1557 W. 9th Street to be moved to 1556 W. 11th Street” (City of Long Beach 1955, 1956, and 1971). It is unclear if the subject building was constructed in 1955 or if it was constructed in 1946, and then moved to its current location. Research on the address 1557 W. 9th Street reveals that in 1951 the property was an auto body repair shop, which is the same use of the subject property (Long Beach Independent 1951: 39-A). In 1956, a permit was issued to add a 10-foot by 14-foot addition to the rear of the building (City of Long Beach 1955, 1956, and 1971). The permit also notes the existing building use relating to auto repair. A 1971 permit reveals that fire damage occurred to the subject building’s roof (City of Long Beach 1955, 1956, and 1971). Alterations identified by visual inspection include a non-original vehicular entrance at the primary façade and potentially an unoriginal aluminum slider window on the west façade; these changes are undated.

*B10. Significance (continued):

Historic Context The Port of Long Beach was dedicated in 1911. Occupying the area now known as the inner harbor, it offered an entry channel, three inner channels, a 1,400-foot turning basin, a single municipal pier, and limited water frontage (Queenan 1986:63-68; Port of Long Beach n.d.). Its fortuitous location adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles allowed Long Beach to develop a complementary facility with an early economy based on shipbuilding and repair, lumber transport, fishing and canning, and service to the United States Navy. The Port’s development accelerated with the discovery of oil at Signal Hill in 1921 and at the Wilmington Oil Field in 1932, along with the Navy’s siting of the entire Pacific Fleet at Long Beach in 1932. Oil provided ongoing revenue for construction of a world-class harbor and established the city of Long Beach as a major oil and shipping center. Factories for Ford Motor Company and Proctor and Gamble opened at the Port in 1930. The Navy developed Terminal Island as a shipyard in 1940, and subsequently took command of the Port for the duration of World War II (Queenan 1986:82-116; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

A booming postwar economy allowed Long Beach to enter world markets and remake its facilities to modern standards. The City effectively built a new port over the old between the late 1940s and the early 1970s, enabling Long Beach to serve the trends toward larger ships and containerization. As trade shifted to emerging markets on the Pacific Rim in the 1980s and 1990s, the Port expanded again, dredging to deepen the harbor while building new container terminals and using fill to create open land for movement and storage of containers and trucks. Additional rail facilities were introduced to serve a new land bridge system, allowing goods arriving by ship to be transferred onto truck and rail transit for shipping nationwide. Since 2000, the Port has built a next generation of mega-piers and terminals to serve ever larger container vessels and the continually enlarging volume of cargo (Queenan 1986:123-155; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

Site History The location of the subject building is north of the historic North Harbor area of the Port of Long Beach. Topographic maps reveal that in the first decades of the twentieth century, this area was traversed by one primary east-west thoroughfare, the current-day Anaheim Street, as well as the diagonal alignment of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s Long Beach Branch line, which crossed tidal areas lying near Long Beach’s inner harbor. A grid of city streets was laid through this area of northwestern Long Beach during the 1920s, and the small settlement of Gaspur sprang up along the Pacific Electric’s Long Beach Line. W. 9th Street first appears on available topographic maps in 1942, aligned at a diagonal parallel to the adjacent Southern Pacific rail line, and formed a wedge-shaped district of small blocks located south of Anaheim Street. This district was bisected by the Pacific Electric rail line (in the current-day alignment of 12th Street) until the 1960s, when the tracks were pulled up. The surrounding area grew more industrial in character following the end of World War II as new small-scale industrial plants filled in the parcels along thoroughfares such as West Anaheim Street and East I Street (which closely followed the alignment of the Long Beach Line) (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 1923-2014). Industrial processing and shipment-oriented businesses in the area have benefited from their close proximity to numerous transportation routes—specifically active rail lines, elevated freeways, and the expanding Port of Long Beach—and continue to support the processing and movement of goods that drives the Port’s operations. The area is currently accessible from the Port of Long Beach for overweight freight traffic via designated overweight street routes on 9th Street, West Anaheim Street, and Santa Fe Avenue (Port of Long Beach 2019).

The subject building was constructed c.1946-1955. It was potentially constructed in 1946 at a different location and moved in the early 1950s to its current address at 1556 W. 11th Street. A building permit issued in 1955 indicates the owner of the property was P.M. Watt; the building was valued at $1,600 (City of Long Beach 1955, 1956, and 1971). A 1971 building permit shows the building housed an auto body repair shop with the owner as M.F. McCallen (City of Long Beach 1955, 1956, and 1971). Historic newspaper research indicates the property has a served a long-term use as an auto body repair shop, with an ad stating, “BODY – Fender Shop & Paint booth for rent, $125 mo. 1556 W. 11th St” (Long Beach Independent 1957:36). Per city directory research, early building tenants include Payton’s Auto Body Shop in 1960, Eleventh Street Auto Body Service in 1965, Bill’s 11th Street Auto Body Service in 1969, and M.F. McCallen-Auto Repair in 1971. It is likely that the building was built as an auto body repair shop and has remained as such through its entire existence. Current signage indicates that the building is presently occupied by Jon’s Body Shop.

NRHP Evaluation of 1556 W. 11th Street The following section evaluates the subject property to determine whether it meets the eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as an individual resource. To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, a property must demonstrate significance under one or more of the following criteria:

• Criterion A (Events): Resources that are associated with events that have made a significance contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. • Criterion B (Persons): Resources that are associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history.

• Criterion C (Design/Construction): Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values. • Criterion D (Information Potential): Resources that have yielded, or have the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.

Under NRHP Criterion A, the property at 1556 W. 11th Street does not appear to be associated with any event(s) significant in history. The commercial auto body repair building was possibly moved from 1557 W. 9th Street to its current location in the early 1950s; its original use and exact age have not been determined through research, however it is likely that it was originally constructed as an auto body repair shop as its use has remained the same from the 1950s to the 1970s and remains as such today. While the first tenants of the building in its current location have not been identified, the building does not appear to have served as a significant or influential commercial establishment, and the building was constructed during a period when numerous similarly scaled industrial and commercial facilities were built in close proximity to the Port of Long Beach and associated transportation infrastructure. Research did not yield any evidence that the property is associated with any events important to local, state, or national history. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion A.

Under NRHP Criterion B, the property at 1556 W. 11th Street appears to lack associative value with significant persons. Research uncovered no substantial information on the 1955 owner of the parcel, P.M. Watt, the 1971 owner of the parcel, M.F. McCallen, or later tenants of the building. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion B.

Under NRHP Criterion C, the property at 1556 W. 11th Street lacks distinctive architectural character. The building is utilitarian in design, characterized by its sawtooth roof and stucco cladding. It reflects an undistinguished building design and construction methods and does not embody a noteworthy type, period, region, or method of construction. Its designer is not known, and the building does not appear to be the work of a master design professional or builder. As a result, the building does not have high architectural value and is not significant under NRHP Criterion C.

The property at 1556 W. 11th Street does not have the potential to provide significant information to support an understanding of prehistory or history, which most commonly applies to archaeological resources. The building is a common example of a post-World War II commercial office building that would not yield information important to prehistory or history. The subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion D.

In conclusion, the subject property at 1556 W. 11th Street is not eligible for listing in the NRHP due to its lack of historical and architectural significance.

Factories for Ford Motor Company and Proctor and Gamble opened at the Port in 1930. The Navy developed Terminal Island as a shipyard in 1940, and subsequently took command of the Port for the duration of World War II (Queenan 1986:82-116; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

*B10. Significance (continued):

A booming postwar economy allowed Long Beach to enter world markets and remake its facilities to modern standards. The City effectively built a new port over the old between the late 1940s and the early 1970s, enabling Long Beach to serve the trends toward larger ships and containerization. As trade shifted to emerging markets on the Pacific Rim in the 1980s and 1990s, the Port expanded again, dredging to deepen the harbor while building new container terminals and using fill to create open land for movement and storage of containers and trucks. Additional rail facilities were introduced to serve a new land bridge system, allowing goods arriving by ship to be transferred onto truck and rail transit for shipping nationwide. Since 2000, the Port has built a next generation of mega-piers and terminals to serve ever larger container vessels and the continually enlarging volume of cargo (Queenan 1986:123-155; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

Site History The location of the subject building is within the Long Beach Harbor Tract, and stands north of the historic North Harbor area of the Port of Long Beach. Topographic maps reveal that in the first decades of the twentieth century, this area was traversed by one primary east-west thoroughfare, the current-day Anaheim Street, as well as the diagonal alignment of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s Long Beach Branch line, which crossed tidal areas lying near Long Beach’s inner harbor. A grid of city streets was laid through this area of northwestern Long Beach during the 1920s, and the small settlement of Gaspur sprang up along the Pacific Electric’s Long Beach Line. W. 9th Street first appears on available topographic maps in 1942, aligned at a diagonal parallel to the adjacent Southern Pacific rail line, and formed a wedge-shaped district of small blocks located south of Anaheim Street. This district was bisected by the Pacific Electric rail line (in the current-day alignment of 12th Street) until the 1960s, when the tracks were pulled up. The surrounding area grew more industrial in character following the end of World War II as new small-scale industrial plants filled in the parcels along thoroughfares such as West Anaheim Street and East I Street (which closely followed the alignment of the Long Beach Line) (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 1923-2014). Industrial processing and shipment-oriented businesses in the area have benefited from their close proximity to numerous transportation routes— specifically active rail lines, elevated freeways, and the expanding Port of Long Beach—and continue to support the processing and movement of goods that drives the Port’s operations. The area is currently accessible from the Port of Long Beach for overweight freight traffic via designated overweight street routes on 9th Street, West Anaheim Street, and Santa Fe Avenue (Port of Long Beach 2019).

The subject building was constructed in 1971 for Triangle Service, Inc. a company specializing in electronics for oil well instruments (Los Angeles Times 1972:302). As indicated on the building permit, the parcel was vacant before the construction of the subject building. As listed on the building permit, the building was designed by Paul Stone and constructed by Carl Brooks, Inc. Carl Brooks constructed a number of industrial buildings in Los Angeles including an auto service building at the Port of Long Beach (Independent 1976:14) and the Westwings Center (Independent Press-Telegram 1977:153). Known for low-cost construction methods, Carl Brooks, Inc. was responsible for the construction of a number of metal industrial buildings, and received accolades from the Soule’ Steel Company, for which it was a key sales agent (Independent Press-Telegram 1974:26). Soule’ Steel was a San Francisco-based company that provided the footings for the Golden Gate Bridge, the Grand Coulee Dam, UC Berkeley Stadium, and a number of high rise buildings in San Francisco (SFGATE 2003). No information was found on the architect Paul Stone, and research did not identity other historic tenants of the building besides the Triangle Service, Inc. The current tenant is Pacific Crane Maintenance Co LP, a transportation and logistics company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida (Bloomberg, 2019).

Current activity at the subject property indicates the building is presently occupied, although no information was found on the current tenant.

NRHP Evaluation of 1430 W. 9th Street The following section evaluates the subject property to determine whether it meets the eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as an individual resource. To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, a property must demonstrate significance under one or more of the following criteria:

• Criterion A (Events): Resources that are associated with events that have made a significance contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. • Criterion B (Persons): Resources that are associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history. • Criterion C (Design/Construction): Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values. • Criterion D (Information Potential): Resources that have yielded, or have the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.

Under NRHP Criterion A, the property at 1430 W. 9th Street does not appear to be associated with any event(s) significant in history. The industrial building was constructed for the use of Triangle Service, Inc., which performed electronic and mechanical work on oil well machinery. No subsequent tenants have been identified. The building was constructed to service the oil industry, which emerged in the area

Research did not yield any evidence that the property is associated with any events important to local, state, or national history. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion A.

Under NRHP Criterion B, the property at 1430 W. 9th Street appears to lack associative value with significant persons. Research uncovered no substantial information on Triangle Service, Inc., or any other owner or occupant or person associated with the subject building. As such, the subject property is not significant under NHP Criterion B.

Under NRHP Criterion C, the property at 1430 W. 9th Street lacks distinctive architectural character. The building is utilitarian in design, characterized by brick cladding and a flat roof. It reflects an undistinguished building design and construction methods and does not embody a noteworthy type, period, region, or method of construction. Research did not uncover any information about the architect Paul Stone, and the building does not appear to be the work of a master design professional or builder. As a result, the building does not have a high architectural value and is not significant under NRHP Criterion C.

The property at 1430 W. 9th Street does not have the potential to provide significant information to support an understanding of prehistory or history, which most commonly applies to archaeological resources. The building is a common example of an industrial warehouse building that would not yield information important to prehistory or history. The subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion D.

In conclusion, the subject property at 1430 W. 9th Street is evaluated as ineligible for listing in the NRHP due to its lack of historical and architectural significance.

Constructed in 1965, the industrial building at 1300-1312 W. 11th Street is one story in height on a concrete slab foundation and has a generally rectangular plan. The building’s roof is flat, and its exterior walls are masonry concrete block. The building features a minimal amount of architectural character, which is concentrated at its north (primary) façade and expresses a restrained Midcentury Modern style. The façade features six bays: the westernmost bay includes a wooden three-panel-wide by seven-panel-tall vehicle access door opening to the sidewalk along W. 11th Street. The second bay is an entrance with recessed metal industrial pedestrian door neighboring a single fixed window with sashes of undetermined materials. A two-lite diagonal muntin transom window surmounts the door. The entrance is crowned with an area of recessed vertical shiplap wood paneling. A single downspout is mounted to the east of the entrance. The third and fourth bays, as well as the fifth and sixth bays, mirror this two-bay configuration. The third and fifth bays contain metal roll-top vehicle access doors. The fourth and sixth bay entrance areas feature metal security bars on the windows, and metal security doors obscure the pedestrian entrances. All three entrance areas are currently affixed with metal security screens to deter public access.

Historic Context The Port of Long Beach was dedicated in 1911. Occupying the area now known as the inner harbor, it offered an entry channel, three inner channels, a 1,400-foot turning basin, a single municipal pier, and limited water frontage (Queenan 1986:63-68; Port of Long Beach n.d.). Its fortuitous location adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles allowed Long Beach to develop a complementary facility with an early economy based on shipbuilding and repair, lumber transport, fishing and canning, and service to the United States Navy. The Port’s development accelerated with the discovery of oil at Signal Hill in 1921 and at the Wilmington Oil Field in 1932, along with the Navy’s siting of the entire Pacific Fleet at Long Beach in 1932. Oil provided ongoing revenue for construction of a world-class harbor and established the city of Long Beach as a major oil and shipping center. Factories for Ford Motor Company and Proctor and Gamble opened at the Port in 1930. The Navy developed Terminal Island as a shipyard in 1940, and subsequently took command of the Port for the duration of World War II (Queenan 1986:82-116; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

Site History The location of the subject building is north of the historic North Harbor area of the Port of Long Beach. Topographic maps reveal that in the first decades of the twentieth century, this area was traversed by one primary east-west thoroughfare, the current-day Anaheim Street, as well as the diagonal alignment of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s Long Beach Branch line, which crossed tidal areas lying near Long Beach’s inner harbor. A grid of city streets was laid through this area of northwestern Long Beach during the 1920s, and the small settlement of Gaspur sprang up along the Pacific Electric’s Long Beach Line. W. 9th Street first appears on available topographic maps in 1942, aligned at a diagonal parallel to the adjacent Southern Pacific rail line, and formed a wedge-shaped district of small blocks located south of Anaheim Street. This district was bisected by the Pacific Electric rail line (in the current-day alignment of 12th Street) until the 1960s, when the tracks were pulled up. The surrounding area grew more industrial in character following the end of World War II as new small-scale industrial plants filled in the parcels along thoroughfares such as West Anaheim Street and East I Street (which closely followed the alignment of the Long Beach Line) (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 1923-2014). Industrial processing and shipment-oriented businesses in the area have benefited from their close proximity to numerous transportation routes—specifically active rail lines, elevated freeways, and the expanding Port of Long Beach—and continue to support the processing and movement of goods that drives the Port’s operations. The area is currently accessible from the Port of Long Beach for overweight freight traffic via designated overweight street routes on 9th Street, West Anaheim Street, and Santa Fe Avenue (Port of Long Beach 2019).

The subject building was constructed in 1965 at its present location. As listed on the building permit, the owner and contractor for the subject building was A.E. Taylor; the building was valued at $31,500 and was utilized as a warehouse. Prior to the work authorized in 1965, the permit indicates the parcel was vacant (City of Long Beach 1965). This is confirmed by a review of historic aerial images from 1953 and 1963 showing a vacant parcel (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 1953, 1963). Research indicated that in 1974 1300 W. 11th Street was occupied by Neo Enterprises, who fulfilled a contract request for industrial kitchen equipment at a local school (Press Telegram 1974:9). Research did not identify any other early tenants of the building; present visual inspection indicates that the building is either unoccupied or is not utilized for public-facing activities, as there is no visible signage indicating public access. The City of Long Beach is listed as the current owner of the parcel.

NRHP Evaluation of 1300-1312 W. 11th Street The following section evaluates the subject property to determine whether it meets the eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as an individual resource. To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, a property must demonstrate significance under one or more of the following criteria:

• Criterion A (Events): Resources that are associated with events that have made a significance contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. • Criterion B (Persons): Resources that are associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history. • Criterion C (Design/Construction): Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values. • Criterion D (Information Potential): Resources that have yielded, or have the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.

Under NRHP Criterion A, the property at 1300-1312 W. 11th Street does not appear to be associated with any event(s) significant in history. According to the building’s original construction permit the industrial building was built for use as a warehouse. Research uncovered no subsequent use that diverged from this initial purpose. While one later occupant of the building, Neo Enterprises, was identified, research into its occupancy and business did not indicate it was a significant or influential firm, and the building was constructed during a period when numerous similarly scaled industrial and commercial facilities were built in regions of close proximity to the Port of Long Beach and associated transportation infrastructure. Research did not yield any evidence that the property is associated with any events important to local, state, or national history. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion A.

Under NRHP Criterion B, the property at 1300-1312 W. 11th Street appears to lack associative value with significant persons. Research uncovered no substantial information on the 1965 owner and builder of the parcel, A.E. Taylor, nor the architect Paul Stone; no other individual owners or occupants of the building have been identified and/or present significance or notoriety. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion B.

Under NRHP Criterion C, the property at 1300-1312 W. 11th Street lacks distinctive architectural character. The building is relatively utilitarian in design, characterized by scored masonry walls and clapboard wood siding. The building minimally expresses some tenets of Midcentury Modern architecture, such as deliberate façade composition using repeated geometric forms. The building reflects an undistinguished building design and construction methods and does not embody a noteworthy type, period, region, or method of construction. Its architect, Paul Stone, was not found or identified as a master architect, and the building’s first owner and contractor, A.E. Taylor, does not appear to be a master builder. As a result, the building does not have high architectural value and is not significant under NRHP Criterion C.

The property at 1300-1312 W. 11th Street does not have the potential to provide significant information to support an understanding of prehistory or history, which most commonly applies to archaeological resources. The building is a common example of a post-World War II industrial building that would not yield information important to prehistory or history. The subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion D.

In conclusion, the subject property at 1300-1312 W. 11th Street is evaluated as ineligible for listing in the NRHP due to its lack of historical and architectural significance.

1800 W. 9th Street is a rectangular-shaped, one-story utilitarian industrial warehouse located south of W. 9th Street. The 4,000-square-foot wood-frame building has a rectangular footprint occupying the majority of the 6,967-square-foot parcel, with its primary façade facing north toward W. 9th Street. The City of Long Beach records a 1968 construction date on the original building permit. 1800 W. 9th Street is clad in stucco and has a flat roof with a simple metal parapet. The primary (north) façade contains an aluminum overhead roll-up door at its west end, and downspouts are attached at both ends of the façade. The business name of the current tenant, SPUN PRODUCTS, INC., is painted on the façade east of the rollup door.

The east façade of the building is clad in stucco and does not include any fenestration. The business name is again painted on the northern side of the façade. The south façade is not visible from the pubic right-of way but appears to mirror the north façade and contain a similarly placed aluminum overhead roll-up door and no other fenestration. The west façade is clad in stucco and contains no fenestration or lettering.

Historic Context The Port of Long Beach was dedicated in 1911. Occupying the area now known as the inner harbor, it offered an entry channel, three inner channels, a 1,400-foot turning basin, a single municipal pier, and limited water frontage (Queenan 1986:63-68; Port of Long Beach n.d.). Its fortuitous location adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles allowed Long Beach to develop a complementary facility with an early economy based on shipbuilding and repair, lumber transport, fishing and canning, and service to the United States Navy. The Port’s development accelerated with the discovery of oil at Signal Hill in 1921 and at the Wilmington Oil Field in 1932, along with the Navy’s siting of the entire Pacific Fleet at Long Beach in 1932. Oil provided ongoing revenue for construction of a world-class harbor and established the city of Long Beach as a major oil and shipping center. Factories for Ford Motor Company and Proctor and Gamble opened at the Port in 1930. The Navy developed Terminal Island as a shipyard in 1940, and subsequently took command of the Port for the duration of World War II (Queenan 1986:82-116; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

*B10. Significance (continued):

A booming postwar economy allowed Long Beach to enter world markets and remake its facilities to modern standards. The City effectively built a new port over the old between the late 1940s and the early 1970s, enabling Long Beach to serve the trends toward larger ships and containerization. As trade shifted to emerging markets on the Pacific Rim in the 1980s and 1990s, the Port expanded again, dredging to deepen the harbor while building new container terminals and using fill to create open land for movement and storage of containers and trucks. Additional rail facilities were introduced to serve a new land bridge system, allowing goods arriving by ship to be transferred onto truck and rail transit for shipping nationwide. Since 2000, the Port has built a next generation of mega-piers and terminals to serve ever larger container vessels and the continually enlarging volume of cargo (Queenan 1986:123-155; Port of Long Beach n.d.).

Site History The location of the subject building is within the Long Beach Harbor Tract, and stands north of the historic North Harbor area of the Port of Long Beach. Topographic maps reveal that in the first decades of the twentieth century, this area was traversed by one primary east-west thoroughfare, the current-day Anaheim Street, as well as the diagonal alignment of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s Long Beach Branch line, which crossed tidal areas lying near Long Beach’s inner harbor. A grid of city streets was laid through this area of northwestern Long Beach during the 1920s, and the small settlement of Gaspur sprang up along the Pacific Electric’s Long Beach Line. W. 9th Street first appears on available topographic maps in 1942, aligned at a diagonal parallel to the adjacent Southern Pacific rail line, and formed a wedge-shaped district of small blocks located south of Anaheim Street. This district was bisected by the Pacific Electric rail line (in the current-day alignment of 12th Street) until the 1960s, when the tracks were pulled up. The surrounding area grew more industrial in character following the end of World War II as new small-scale industrial plants filled in the parcels along thoroughfares such as West Anaheim Street and East I Street (which closely followed the alignment of the Long Beach Line) (Nationwide Environmental Title Research, LLC 1923-2014). Industrial processing and shipment-oriented businesses in the area have benefited from their close proximity to numerous transportation routes— specifically active rail lines, elevated freeways, and the expanding Port of Long Beach—and continue to support the processing and movement of goods that drives the Port’s operations. The area is currently accessible from the Port of Long Beach for overweight freight traffic via designated overweight street routes on 9th Street, West Anaheim Street, and Santa Fe Avenue (Port of Long Beach 2019).

The subject building was constructed in 1968 for George H. Lovell of the Monterey Oil Company. Spun Products began operating out of the subject building beginning in 1973, producing wheels for the automotive and racing industry, as well as parts for the aerospace industry. At its height, Spun Products was producing up to 500 wheels per week. In the late 1970s, Spun Products had accounts with McDonnell Douglas, manufacturing parts for airplanes including the models MD 80, MD 90, and MD 11. The building continues to house Spun Products (now Spun Products MLZ, Inc.), and the company continues to serve the aerospace industry (Spun Products, 2019).

The building was designed by Philip R. Weary, a structural engineer who was noted for introducing reinforced concrete masonry bearing wall construction to Pakistan with the construction of residence halls for the Karachi YMCA (Los Angeles Times, 1968:133). Weary was later noted for designing a unique vault in the Gibraltar Savings and Loan Building in Beverly Hills for the storage of safe deposit boxes (Los Angeles Times 1974:110).

NRHP Evaluation of 1800 W. 9th Street The following section evaluates the subject property to determine whether it meets the eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as an individual resource. To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, a property must demonstrate significance under one or more of the following criteria:

• Criterion A (Events): Resources that are associated with events that have made a significance contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. • Criterion B (Persons): Resources that are associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history. • Criterion C (Design/Construction): Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values. • Criterion D (Information Potential): Resources that have yielded, or have the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.

Under NRHP Criterion A, the property at 1800 W. 9th Street does not appear to be associated with any event(s) significant in history. The building is a product of the industrial development related to the oil industry in Long Beach. The building was originally constructed in 1968 to service the oil industry, which emerged in the area with the discovery of oil in Rancho San Pedro in 1920, Signal Hill in 1921, and the Wilmington Oil Field in 1932. The Monterey Oil Company was purchased by Standard Oil of New Jersey in 1960 (Thompson n.d.) during a wave of mergers resulting from low prices and restricted production within the oil industry (Olien n.d.). It does not appear that the subject building served a major role in the development of the Monterey Oil Company. The building has continued to serve industrial uses as the

*Recorded by Patrick Maley, ICF *Date November 15, 2019  Continuation  Update location for Spun Products, Inc., which began operations at the subject building in 1973. Research conducted on these occupants did not reveal that the building fostered early or remarkable business growth for any of its tenants, or for the Port of Long Beach, nor did it yield any evidence that the property is associated with events important to local, state, or national history. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion A.

Under NRHP Criterion B, the property at 1800 W. 9th Street appears to lack associative value with significant persons. Research uncovered no substantial information on the 1968 owner of the parcel George H. Lovell, the Monterey Oil Company, Philip R. Weary, or Spun Products, Inc. which would rise to the level of significance necessary for this criterion. As such, the subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion B.

Under NRHP Criterion C, the property at 1800 W. 9th Street lacks distinctive architectural character. The building is relatively utilitarian in design, characterized by stucco cladding and a minimal cornice. It reflects an undistinguished building design and construction methods and does not embody a noteworthy type, period, region, or method of construction. Philip R. Weary is not considered a master architect and the subject building does not represent a significant example of a particular architectural style. As a result, the building does not have high architectural value and is not significant under NRHP Criterion C.

The property at 1800 W. 9th Street does not have the potential to provide significant information to support an understanding of prehistory or history, which most commonly applies to archaeological resources. The building is a common example of an industrial warehouse building that would not yield information important to prehistory or history. The subject property is not significant under NRHP Criterion D.

In conclusion, the subject property at 1800 W. 9th Street is evaluated as ineligible for listing in the NRHP due to its lack of historical and architectural significance.
