ATTACHMENT 5 - Administrative Record Page 2391 of 6596 FIGURE 3: In this drawing, specifically entitled “Planting Scheme, West Elevation of California Hall, Boalt Hall, and Philosophy Building”, John Galen Howard illustrated his landscape concept for Campanile Way and environs. The base of the shaft of the Campanile is visible at center / top. Campanile Way descends below it. The Way is now flanked with regular, orb-shaped, trees similar in form to the pollarded London Planes that would be planted. These are the tallest trees. The “foundation plantings” of the buildings are low. (source: John Galen Howard Collection, Environmental Design Archives, UC Berkeley.) FIGURE 4: This is a detail from a circa 1916-18 Howard drawing showing Wheeler Hall (then under construction) with the Campanile at upper right. This is largely the same view obtained today when a visitor enters the campus across Sather Gate bridge. Doe Library is at left, and Campanile Way is the narrow slot between Doe and Wheeler. Note, as in the previous photograph, the large, round, London Plane trees along the roadways and the low lawns and foundation plantings by the buildings. (Source: Study for Wheeler Hall, c. 1916-18, John Galen Howard Collection, Environmental Design Archives, UC Berkeley.) 354 ATTACHMENT 5 - Administrative Record Page 2392 of 6596 FIGURE 5: This undated postcard view of Wheeler Hall, looking southeast from the intersection of Sather Road (foreground) and Campanile Way (with pedestrian, to the left) was probably taken within a few years of 1918, when Wheeler Hall opened to use. It is very useful to illustrate how John Galen Howard and John Gregg planted Campanile Way and intended the plantings to evolve. The original plantings are visible. Note how they almost exactly replicate the planting plan shown in the previous drawing. They include: lawn panels; low shrubs at the corners and adjacent to the roadway; pollarded London Plane trees spaced evenly as “street trees” along both roadways; foundation plantings of shrubs adjacent to the building façade; small trees used as architectural accents on the building facades. Note the Wheeler Hall staircase and arched doorway visible along Campanile Way. Historically, this was visible down Campanile Way. It is primarily the overgrowth of the foundation shrubs in recent decades that have filled in much of the space between roadway and building façade with foliage. 355 ATTACHMENT 5 - Administrative Record Page 2393 of 6596 FIGURE 6: This detail from John Galen Howard’s 1914 plan for the campus, adopted by the Regents, shows Doe Library and Wheeler Hall as the large “hollow” squares at upper center, and the Campanile as the square dot near the top of the picture. Campanile way descends from top to bottom, through the center of the image. The five buildings at lower left are on the footprint of the future Life Sciences Building. Note along Campanile Way—and, indeed, all the other formal, adjacent, roadways—the double rows of evenly spaced plane trees, and the lawns and other plantings between the roadways and the building facades.

From the top, the curved building is Bacon Library. The Campanile is just below it. The large, square, buildings at center left and center right are Doe Library and Wheeler Hall. Campanile Way runs between them, down to the bottom of the photograph adjacent to West Field, where the Valley Life Sciences Building would be constructed soon after this photograph was taken. Note: the linear roadway; the lines of small, round, regular London Plane trees now planted along the length of Campanile Way; the formal landscape arrangements and entrances to buildings between the roadway and the buildings.

Wheeler Hall at left, doe Library at right. Durant Hall (left) and California Hall (right) beyond. Note the low plantings on either side of the central roadway between the buildings, as well as the low, horizontal, band of trees in the distance. Those are oak and riparian trees along Strawberry Creek in the vicinity of the 1908 Bridge, and they rise no higher than the lower building masses from this viewpoint. The view of the Bay—invisible in the haze in this photograph—would have been a panorama as wide as Campanile Way. (Private collection). FIGURE 9: A view of similar vintage and orientation to the one above, but without automobiles on South Hall Road. Caption reads, “looking down the center path from the base of the Campanile.” This view clearly shows the Golden Gate, San Francisco shore and Marin Headlands, all as part of the original visual partee planned by Howard. The narrow, low, band of riparian trees along Strawberry Creek in the middle distance lies below the water of the Bay from this viewpoint. 358 ATTACHMENT 5 - Administrative Record Page 2396 of 6596 FIGURE 10: This excellent, and rare, early 20th century aerial photograph of the campus illustrates a number of important features of the evolution of the campus and Campanile Way. The view is from after 1911 (when the first unit of Doe Library was completed) but before construction of the Campanile began in summer, 1913. At center, the large white building is Doe Library. Above it is North Hall, a narrow, dark building, and beyond that can be seen the dark, towered, Bacon Library and the adjacent flagpole—both just at right center of the photograph. Running west from the flagpole down to the lower right hand corner of the photograph is the Center Street Path, that will become Campanile Way. At left center of the photograph there is a long, linear, pathway running down through the campus parallel to Campanile Way. This pathway marks the center line of the “University Axis” that followed Frederick Law Olmsted’s suggestion of a main axis in the vale that bisected the campus east to west. That is the second “view corridor”, along with the Center Street Path, towards the Golden Gate. It would later be compromised by the construction of Evans Hall and Moffitt Library in the 1960s. (Source: Blue and Gold yearbook). 359 ATTACHMENT 5 - Administrative Record Page 2397 of 6596 FIGURE 11: This photograph from the 1916 Blue and Gold yearbook would have been taken no later than spring, 1915. It shows in unusual detail the pathway of Campanile Way, between Doe Library (at right) and the site of Wheeler Hall (left). The slightly crowned, hard-surface, road with slight gutters to either side runs west and downhill in this view towards the Strawberry Creek corridor at the top of the photo. The blurry figure in the center is standing just above the point where Sather Road crosses Campanile Way. This photograph would have been taken before Howard cleared the miscellaneous shrubs, small trees, and ivy ground cover from along the Way and formalized the plantings with the London Plane Trees, lawns, and foundation plantings. (Source: 1916 Blue and Gold yearbook. Note that the yearbooks in this era were numbered by the graduation year of the Junior Class. Thus, 1916 was published in Spring, 1915 and covered the 1914/15 academic year.) 360 ATTACHMENT 5 - Administrative Record Page 2398 of 6596 FIGURE 12: Another view from the 1916 Blue and Gold, showing Boalt (now Durant) Hall. Campanile Way is in the lower right, with Sather Road crossing it from left to right. The tree at extreme right is one of those Howard would soon remove to regularize the landscape of Campanile Way. 361 ATTACHMENT 5 - Administrative Record Page 2399 of 6596 FIGURE 13: An undated postcard view of the Berkeley campus, from the late 1920s (Stephens Union, built in 1923, is visible but Moses Hall, completed in 1930, is not yet constructed). Note the features of Campanile Way, including the formal roadway, plane trees at regular intervals, low plantings between roadway and buildings, and Sather Road—at center, bottom—crossing Campanile Way at right angles. This is also a good view of the balanced massing of Doe Library (left) and Wheeler Hall (right) on either side of Campanile Way. Private collection. 362 ATTACHMENT 5 - Administrative Record Page 2400 of 6596 FIGURE 14: A mid-1920s aerial view centered on Campanile Way. This image shows the grouping of four neoclassical buildings around the intersection of Campanile Way and Sather Road (center), with Campanile Way extending further west in a straight line until in disappears into the oaks and riparian landscape along Strawberry Creek. Note the absence of tall trees between the neoclassical buildings. (Source: photo by Aerograph Company. Private collection). 363 ATTACHMENT 5 - Administrative Record Page 2401 of 6596 FIGURE 15: Taken around 1930, this photograph depicts the upper end of Campanile Way where it joins South Hall Road. The car is parked on South Hall Road. Doe Library is in the center, California Hall faintly visible at far center left. Campanile Way is where the pedestrians are walking up at left. Note the pollarded London Plane trees at left and center, lining the way, the low shrubbery adjacent to the line of the road, and the lack of tall trees adjacent to the buildings. The Doe Annex / Bancroft Library would be built in the space at right two decades after this photograph.
