FINDINGS

The. property embodies "the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction" as a notable example of the Mid-Century Modern style supermarket property type.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT ("CEQA") FINDINGS

The Commission hereby recommends that Council find the proposed designation of the Shopper's Market Building property as a Historic-Cultural Monument to be exempt from further analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Sections 15308 (Class 8) and 15331 (Class 31).

SUMMARY

Built in 1960 and located in the Highland Park community, this one-story rectangular-planned commercial building exhibits character-defining features of the Mid-Century Modern style. Built as a supermarket, the subject building is set back from N. Figueroa Street and fronts a 195 car parking lot. Symmetrically composed, the flat-roofed building features a central bay with a distinctive multi-hexagonal shaped overhang. Large plate glass windows bisected by a centrally located sign board are flanked by concrete block walls decorated with a geometric pattern. A low concrete block bulkhead stretches along the base of the central glass facade. Two off- center entrances are located on the main facade. A large lettered neon sign which spells the word "Superior" sits at the front edge of the roof. Secondary and back elevations are unadorned. The large parking lot occupies half of the subject property and includes planters with trees and palm trees. A concrete block wall containing panels of vertical metal bars on its upper half surrounds the parking lot. The auto entrance from N. Figueroa features a pole sign reading "Superior." Secondary buildings include a small detached commercial walk up building located on the corner of the subject property.

The proposed Shoppers Market historic monument was designed by architect Ronald Cleveland and built by the firm of Conant & Lieberman. The supermarket opened in 1960 for the Shoppers chain. Shoppers was bought out by Lucky's Markets in 1965, later becoming Albertsons in 1999. The building was acquired by Superior Markets in 2006.

Alterations to the subject building include the addition of a detached front-facing canopy, removal of original signboard and transparent glass, and replacement of "Lucky's" roof top sign with "Superior" in 2006.

The subject building is listed as a non-contributor to the Highland Park-Garvanza Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ), being built outside the period of significance.

CRITERIA

The criterion is the Cultural Heritage Ordinance which defines a historical or cultural monument as any site (including significant trees or other plant life located thereon) building or structure of particular historic or cultural significance to the City of Los Angeles, such as historic structures or sites in which the broad cultural, economic, or social history of the nation, State or community is reflected or exemplified, or which are identified with historic personages or with important events in the main currents of national, State or local history or which embody the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style 4511 N. Figueroa St. CHC-2013-1563-HCM Page 3 of4

or method of construction, or a notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose individual genius influenced his age.

DISCUSSION

The building successfully "embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction" as an example of a Mid-Century Modern style supermarket property type. As one of the first large- scale supermarkets in the residential Arroyo communities of Northeast Los Angeles, the building is a significant contributor to the post-WWII suburban landscape of Los Angeles. Its distinctive diamond-shaped overhang, decorative concrete walls, and glass curtain facade successfully . exemplify the Mid-Century Modern architectural style.

The subject building was designed by architect Ronald Cleveland, who 'specialized in commercial buildings such as.larqe-scale supermarkets and shopping centers under the prolific architectural firm, Leach, Cleveland & Associates. The firm also designed Vicente Foods in Brentwood, identified by SurveyLA as an example of the mid-century neighborhood market property type. The subject building shares many architectural features with Vicente Foods, such as large plate glass windows and decorative concrete walls. As a property type of the mid- zo" century neighborhood market, Shoppers Market Building embodies the broad history of suburban development in Los Angeles.

BACKGROUND

At its meeting on May 24, 2013, the City Council initiated consideration of the site as a Historic- Cultural Monument. The staff of the Office of Historic Resources conducted a site visit on July 9, 2013. On July 18, 2013, a subcommittee of the Cultural Heritage Commission toured the site.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT ("CEQA") REVIEW

State of California CEOA Guidelines, Article 19, Section 15308, Class 8 "consists of actions taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by state or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment."

State of California CEOA Guidelines Article 19, Section 15331, Class 31 "consists of projects limited to maintenance, repair, stabilization, rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, conservation or reconstruction of historical resources in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic buildings."

The designation of the Shoppers Market Building as a Historic-Cultural Monument in accordance with Chapter 9, Article 1, of The City of Los Angeles Administrative Code ("LAAC") will ensure that future construction activities involving the subject property are regulated in accordance with Section 22.171.14 of the LAAC. The purpose of the designation is to prevent significant impacts to a Historic-Cultural Monument through the application of the standards set forth in the LAAC. Without the regulation imposed by way of the pending designation, the historic significance and integrity of the subject property could be lost through incompatible alterations and new construction and the demolition of irreplaceable historic structures. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards of Rehabilitation are expressly incorporated into the LAAC 4511 N. Figueroa st. CHC-2013-1563-HCM Page 4 of4 and provide standards concerning the historically appropriate construction activities which will ensure the continued preservation of the subject property. the use of Categorical Exemption Class 8 in connection with the proposed designation is consistent with the goals of maintaining, restoring, enhancing, and protecting the environment through the imposition of regulations designed to prevent the degradation of Historic-Cultural Monuments.

The use of Categorical Exemption Class 31 in connection with the proposed designation is consistent with the goals relating to the preservation, rehabilitation, restoration and reconstruction of Historic buildings in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings.

MOTION

Section 22.171.10 of the Administrative Code provides that the Council, the Cultural Heritage Commission, or the Director of Planning, may initiate consideration of a proposed site, building, or structure as a Historical-Cultural Monument. The Cultural Heritage Commission, after reviewing and investigating any such Council-initiated designation, shall approve or disapprove in whole or in part the proposed inclusion and submit a report upon such action to the Counci 1.

The former Shoppers Market Building located at 133 W. Avenue 45, in Highland Park, is one of the few surviving intact examples of Googie Style architecture supermarkets left in Southern California, as virtually all of its contemporaries have been remodeled into other styles or demolished. Superior Markets, the current operator of this market is planning on remodeling it into a Nee-Craftsman design, in spite of the wishes of many in the community and the Highland Park Heritage Trust, that the historic facade be retained and restored. Both the land use committee of the Historic Highland Park Neighborhood Council and the Highland Park Historic Preservation Overlay Zone Board have asked Superior to retain the original d,

The architect for the building was Ronald Cleveland, whose firm. designed many shopping centers in Southern California. The Googie Style, sometimes referred to historically as Space Age design, was one of the most prominent commercial styles for restaurants, theaters and supermarkets in the Mid 20th Century. However, this style is being lost at a rapid rate and this building presently has an intact Googie exterior that it is important to preserve.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council initiate consideration of the Shoppers Market Building located at 133 W. Avenue 45, Los Angeles, CA 90065, as a City Historic-Cultural Monument under the procedures of Sec. 22.171.10 of the Administrative Code, and instruct the Planning Department to prepare a report utilizing the application submitted by the Highland Park Heritage Trust, and to submit the report and application to the Cultural Heritage Commission for review and consideration.

I FURTHER MOVE that after reviewing the application, the Cultural Heritage Commission submit its report and recommendation to the Council regarding the inclusion of the Shoppers Market Building in the City's list of Historic-Cultural Monuments.

FOR OVER 30 YEARS. OFTEN REFERRED TO AS "SPACE AGE" STYLING DURING THE 1 950s AND 60s, THE GOOGIE STYLE

ORIGINATED IN 1949, WHEN THE ARCHITECT JOHN LAUTNER DESIGNED A FANCIFUL MODERNIST BUILDING FOR A

RESTAURANT OF THAT NAME IN WEST HOLLYWOOD. THE NAME "GOOGIE" HAD BEEN A FAMILY NICKNAME OF LILLIAN K.

BURTON, THE WIFE OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER. MORTIMER C. BURTON. GOOGIES WAS LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF

SUNSET BOULEVARD AND CRESCENT HEIGHTS BUT WAS DEMOLISHED IN 1989. THE STYLE BECAME A MAINSTAY WITH

MANY OF THE COFFEEHOUSE RESTAURANTS OF THE ERA, AS WELL AS SOME GAS STATIONS AND MOTELS. SUPERMARKETS

OF THE ERA WERE JUST BEGINNING TO EXPERIMENT IN THE NEW DESIGNS AND THE SHOPPERS MARKET WAS ONE OF A

NUMBER DESIGNED USING THE GOOGIE INFLUENCE. MOST OF THEM, BEING BIG BOXES IN EXECUTION, COUNTED ON A

STYLISTIC FACADE TO CALL OUT TO THE CONSUMER, BUT AS TASTES CHANGED AND MANY OF THE MARKET CHAINS WERE

BOUGHT OUT AND THEIR SUCCESSORS WANTED THEIR OWN MARK ON THE BUILDING, THE BUILDINGS WERE DRASTICALLY

REMODELED OR, SIMPLY REPLACED.

DEVELOPMENT OF Los ANGELES BECAUSE CLEVELAND WAS A SIGNIFICANT DESIGNER OF SHOPPING

CENTERS DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE 20TH CENTURY THAT COINCIDED WITH THE GROWTH OF SOUTHERN

CALIFORNIA DURING THE YEARS THAT FOLLOWED THE SECOND WORLD WAR. HIS WORK CONSISTED MOSTLY

OF SHOPPING CENTERS, INCLUDING THE FOOTHILL-RoSEMEAD SEARS COMPLEX IN PASADENA. MOST OF THE

FORMER MARKET BASKET BUILDINGS AFTER 1955 AS WELL AS SOME GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS, SUCH AS THE

CALIFORNIA STATE OFFICE BUILDING IN SAN BERNARDINO AS THE PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT FOR HIS FIRM,

LEACH, CLEVELAND AND ASSOCIATES, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1957 WITH STERLING LEACH. PRIOR TO

THAT, CLEVELAND HAD WORKED WITH KEM WEBER AS AN INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER (1937-38), AS AN

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER FOR GORDAN KAUFMAN (1938-41), DURING WORLD WAR II AS THE CHIEF

DESIGNER FOR BASIC MAGNESIUM, IN LAs VEGAS (1941-44), RAYMOND LOEWRY AND ASSOCIATES (1944-

48) AND WAS THEN THE WEST COAST REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR BRANDON CORPORATION (1948-57).

BESIDES ARCHITECTURE, CLEVELAND IS WELL REMEMBERED FOR HIS FASCINATION WITH SAILING SHIPS AND

THE ACCURATE MODELS THAT HE CREATED OF THEM. BORN IN MCCLEARY, WASHINGTON, ON JUME 28,

1913, CLEVELAND RECEIVED IS BA FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, IN SEATTLE (1929-33) AND

THEN CAME TO Los ANGELES TO ATTEND THE ART CENTER SCHOOL OF DESIGN, WHERE HE RECEIVED HIS

ARCHITECTURAL DEGREE (1 933-37) AFTER WHICH HE RECIEVED HIS ARCHITECTURAL LICENCE AND WORK

FOR A TIME AS A SKETCH ARTIST FOR THE FILM INDUSTRY. HIS FIRM DESIGNED OVER 100 SHOPPING CENTERS

IN THE Los ANGELES AREA. INCLUDING SIX J. W. ROBINSON STORES. IN DESIGNING THE SHOPPERS MARKET,

CLEVELAND BROUGHT IN WHAT WAS THEN KNOWN AS "SPACE-AGE" ARCHITECTURE THAT WAS LOOKED UPON

AS THE ULTIMATE CELEBRATION OF THE ASPIRATIONS TO REACH TO THE STARS THAT CONSUMED SO MANY AT

THAT TIME. THE NAME GOOGIE WAS ADOPTED FOR THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE WHEN EDITOR DOUGLAS

HASKELL OF "HOUSE AND HOME" MAGAZINE AND ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHER JULIUS SHULMAN WERE

DRIVING THROUGH Los ANGELES ONE DAY. HASKELL INSISTED ON STOPPING THE CAR UPON SEEING

LAUNTNER'S GOOGIES COFFEE SHOP AND PROCLAIMED. "THIS IS GOOGIE ARCHITECTURE." HE POPULARIZED

THE NAME AFTER AN ARTICLE HE WROTE APPEARED IN A 1952 EDITION OF "HOUSE AND HOME" MAGAZINE

GOOGIE'S BEGINNINGS. HOWEVER, ARE WITH THE STREAMLINE MODERNE ARCHITECTURE OF THE 1930s.

ALAN HESS, ONE OF THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE WRITERS ON THE SUBJECT. WRITES IN "GOOGIE: ULTRA

MODERN ROAD SIDE ARCHITECTURE" THAT MOBILITY IN Los ANGELES DURING THE 1 930s WAS

CHARACTERIZED BY THE INITIAL INFLUX OF THE AUTOMOBILE AND THE SERVICE INDUSTRY THAT EVOLVED TO

CATER TO IT. WITH CAR OWNERSHIP INCREASING. CITIES NO LONGER HAD TO BE CENTERED ON A CENTRAL

DOWNTOWN BUT COULD SPREAD OUT TO THE SUBURBS. WHERE BUSINESS HUBS COULD BE INTERSPERSED

WITH RESIDENTIAL AREAS. THE SUBURBS OFFERED LESS CONGESTION BY OFFERING THE SAME BUSINESSES,

BUT ACCESSIBLE BY CAR. INSTEAD OF ONE MAIN STORE DOWNTOWN. BUSINESSES NOW HAD MULTIPLE

STORES IN SUBURBAN AREAS. THIS NEW TREND REQUIRED OWNERS AND ARCHITECTS TO DEVELOP A VISUAL

IMAGERY SO CUSTOMERS WOULD RECOGNIZE IT FROM THE ROAD." THE HIGHLAND PARK AREA WAS NOT

CONSIDERED THE SUBURBS BY THE 1950s. RATHER IT WAS LOOKED UPON AS A FADING INNER CITY AREA AS

THE NEW DEVELOPMENT WAS CONCENTRATED IN THE MORE OUTLYING AREAS. HOWEVER, MOUNT

WASHINGTON, IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE SITE AND MONTECITO HEIGHTS, ACROSS THE

ARROYO SECO TO THE SOUTHEAST. THESE GROWING HILLSIDE NEIGHBORHOODS REPRESENTED A PRIME

CUSTOMER BASE FOR A MODERN FULL SERVICE SUPERMARKET. THE FIRST CHALLENGE WAS TO FIND OR

ASSEMBLE A LARGE ENOUGH PARCEL OF LAND TO ACCOMMODATE THE DEVELOPMENT. THE SITE CHOSEN

WAS THE FORMER LOCATION OF THE PAGE SCHOOL FOR GIRLS, WHICH HAD BEEN RUN ON THE 3 ACRE SITE

FROM 1912 UNTIL 1943 BY EMMA PAGE. THE SITE CONSISTS OF 5 LOTS. LOTS 1 THROUGH 4, WHICH FACE

AVENUE 45, WERE USED BY THE ORIGINAL SUBDIVIDER, GEORGE W. MORGAN. TO BUILD A VICTORIAN HOME IN

1887. DESIGNED BY THE ARCHITECT W. R. NORTON, THE HOUSE WAS MOVED ACROSS AVENUE 45 TO THE

CORNER OF THAT STREET AND PASADENA AVENUE (N. FIGUEROA STREET) IN 1900 AND IS NOW KNOWN AS

THE "HALE HOUSE" (HCM 40), WHICH WAS MOVED A SECOND TIME TO HERITAGE SQUARE (HCM 1009) IN

BOUGHT UP BY LUCKY'S MARKETS IN 1965 AND THE "SHOPPER'S" ROOF SIGN WAS QUICKLY REPLACED WITH

ONE THAT READ "LUCKYS" IN RED SCRIPT. EVENTUALLY THE DRUG STORE. WHICH WAS IN THE

SOUTHWESTERN END OF THE STORE. WITH A SEPARATE ENTRANCE. WAS CLOSED AND LUCKY'S EXPANDED

INTO THE AREA. OPENING A CLOTHING SECTION THAT ONE LONG TIME RESIDENT REFERRED TO AS "LUCKYS

BOUTIQUE". A SMALL BUILDING WAS BUILT AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE LOT IN 1966 TO HOUSE A

TACO STAND AND A DONUT SHOP. "TACO FIESTA" WAS THE FIRST BUSINESS TO OPEN THERE AND REMAINS

THERE TODAY. "WINCHELL'S DONUTS" CAME IN TO THE OTHER BAY JUST AFTER THAT BUT HAVE SINCE BEEN

Shopping Center Architect Ronald Cleveland; Master Builder of Model Ships BURT A. FOLKART. Los Angeles Times Jun 6, 1987. pg. 31

Ronald Cleveland, an architect who built mammoth shopping centers but whose more lasting legacy may be the handful of meticulously detailed models of old barkentines and barges he constructed throughout his lifetime, has died.

The master model-ship builder died in Irvine where he and his wife moved from their Beverly Hills home after his retirement in 1985. He was 75 and had been battling cancer.

Cleveland, who died May 23, traced his fascination with ships to his boyhood on Washington's seacoast. After graduating from the University of Washington, he attended Art Center School in Los Angeles, was licensed as an architect and worked as a sketch artist in the film industry.

He worked for famed designer Raymond Loewy for four years and then, in 1947, formed his own architectural firm. Later, he and Sterling Leach became partners in Leach, Cleveland & Associates.

Supermarkets, Shopping Centers Between them they planned and designed more than 100 supermarkets in and around Los Angeles, built the Pomona Valley Center and the Buena Park Shopping Center and six J. W. Robinson's stores.

Their other centers ranged from Honolulu to Salt Lake City.

As his architecture firm prospered, Cleveland began to make his lifelong romance with the world of wooden ships powered solely by square-rigged canvas sails bloom.

He converted a spare bathroom in his home into a library where 700 volumes devoted to ships and sailing were stored. Many had been published in the 1700s. He filled his garage with the exotic and rare woods needed for his miniature armada and the precision tools required to build the ships.

He traveled the world doing research and spent 15 years corresponding with an old salt who had once commanded a sister ship of the barkentine Kohala which Cleveland was replicating in his home.

When the old sailor, Capt. Fred Klebingat, then 94, saw the finished product in 1984', he allowed that "if I could shrink my body to one-inch size, I could walk up the gangway, go to the wheel house and sail her out to sea."

Kohala in San Francisco

The miniature Kohala never made it to sea but rests instead at the Maritime Museum in San Francisco after Cleveland declined a similar acceptance offer from the Smithsonian Institution in order to keep the miniature on the West Coast.

He spent weeks in London and then took four years to duplicate the spritsail barge Kathleen, a flat- bottomed sailing ship which once plied England's Thames River. That model, where miniature helms actually move tiny rudders and winches barely visible to the naked eye up and down, was donated to Great Britain's National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.

All his vessels were labors of love; he turned down many offers to sell them.

Cleveland, who spent countless thousands of dollars in travel and research and countless more hours actually planking dowels onto the frames of his tiny fleet as shipbuilding was done long ago, was never interested in changing the time concept of his avocation.

"For me, the big slab-sided buckets carrying oil (today) are no longer things of beauty," he said in a 1972 interview with The Times.

"What I've attempted to do is show the great influence ships have had upon the happenings of mankind beginning at 10,000 BC through the dawn of the 20th Century.

Cleveland is survived by his wife, Jo Dee, two sons, a daughter and two grandchildren who ask donations in his name to the American Cancer SOCiety.
