The conservation and improvement of our existing built resources, including re-use of historic and older buildings, greening tbe existing building stock, and reinvestment in older and historic communities, is crucial to combating climate change. To celebrate National Historic Preservation month, the Mayor will present awards selected by tbe Landmarks Advisory Commission to two property owners at tbe June 9, 2010, City Council meeting for their good stewardship and taking pride in preserving their historic buildings. The Mayor will also give awards to the winners of the kids coloring contest of historic homes drawn by local artist Gwen Marchese. ale U:\Community Development\PlarminglJfistoric\2010Iccmemolune9.docx 1 TO: Albany City Council VIA: Wes Hare, City Manager .

Refer to www.HistoricPlacesLA.org for information on designated resources associated with this context as well as those identified through SurveyLA and other surveys. CONTRIBUTOR Daniel Prosser is a historian and preservation architect. He holds an M.Arch. from Ohio State University and a Ph.D. in history from Northwestern University. Before retiring, Prosser was the Historic Sites Architect for the Kansas State Historical Society. INTRODUCTION The “Pre-Consolidation Communities of Los Angeles” context examines those communities that were at one time independent, self-governing cities. These include (presented here as themes): Wilmington, San Pedro, Hollywood, Sawtelle, Eagle Rock, Hyde Park, Venice, Watts, Barnes City, and Tujunga. This context traces the history of each of these cities (up to the point of consolidation with the City of Los Angeles), identifying important individuals and patterns of settlement and development, and then links the events and individuals to extant historic resources (individual resources and historic districts).

After a brief three day journey he had reached the next stop in his travels: Albany. “Next to the town of New York,” he wrote, “…Albany is the principal town, or at least the most wealthy, in the province of New York.” 1 On his trip up the unpredictable Hudson River, Kalm had encountered the sheer cliffs, forests, and rolling, fertile plains that characterized the Hudson Valley before it leveled out on the cultivated and carefully tended fields of Albany. Canoes, yachts, and bateaux had passed him along the way, shuttling travelers and commodities between Albany and New York City. 2 Albany was just as busy as the Hudson River itself. Farmers planted peas, corn, and fruit trees in their fields and kept kitchen gardens for their families. Homes, built both in Dutch and English fashions, lined the broad streets and featured small benches on their front steps.
