Whittier Public Library, Whittier CA. Senior Architectural Historian. Alison was the lead author of the Historic Resources Assessment which determined that the library is significant as an individual resource under National Register Criteria A and C. Constructed in 1958, the property is significant for its association with MidCentury Modernism, postwar period institutional properties, and architect William Henry Harrison. Alison assembled the construction history for the library and the Whittier Civic Center. She created a detailed character-defining features analysis identifying significant and contributing features at the property’s interior, exterior, and site. Alison coordinated with the project architect to ensure that the project met the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (SOI) in order to meet community’s contemporary needs while respecting the building’s historic character. Alison authored and oversaw the production of a HABS report to document the library building prior to selective demolition and project construction.

Benjamin Franklin Elementary School Historic Resource Evaluation and Mitigated Negative Declaration, San Diego, CA. Senior Architectural Historian.

Alison conducted an HRA for the 1930s, 40s, and 50s-designed elementary school campus. The property was found to be a historic district eligible for its association with the post-war development of the Kensington neighborhood, and for its association with two master San Diego architects. The proposed project was reviewed for compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, and a CEQA analysis was performed, resulting in the Mitigation Measures and design considerations for future construction within the district. Alison authored and oversaw the production of a HABS report to document the campus and its buildings prior to project construction.
1202 3rd Street Promenade Preservation Consulting, Santa Monica, CA. Senior Architectural Historian. Constructed in 1949 as a JC Penny department store, the commercial building was designed in the Late Moderne style. ESA previously worked to produce a Landmark Assessment Report, and today, the property is recognized as a City of Santa Monica Landmark. Alison conducted a SOI Standards conformance review of a proposed tenant improvement project for a Certificate of Appropriateness.
1221 Hermosa Avenue Preservation Consulting, Hermosa Beach, CA. Senior Architectural Historian. ESA serves as a historic preservation consultant to the City of Hermosa Beach, and has a longstanding relationship with the building at 1221 Hermosa Boulevard, known as the Bijou Building. The building is a former historic theatre and bank designed in the NeoClassical Revival style, constructed in 1923.

Alison evaluated proposed tenant improvement modifications including the removal of non-original features and the retention of original features related to original theatre and bank uses. Alison has conducted design reviews which included an understanding of all modifications to the space over time, characterdefining features analyses, and reviews of proposed plans against CEQA thresholds and the SOI Standards for compliance. Alison is currently participating with overseeing the construction monitoring efforts for the theatre space as part of this ongoing project.

Universal Hilton Historic Resources Technical Report and Environmental Impacts Report for 555 W Universal Terrace Parkway, Los Angeles, CA. Senior Architectural Historian. The Universal Hilton Hotel was designed by master architect, William L. Pereira in 1983 in the Postmodern style. As one of Pereira’s final commissions, the hotel building was originally part of a master plan and was designed to accommodate visitors to the expanding Universal Theme Parks.

Alison conducted in-depth architect and postmodern style research, and evaluated the property for historic significance as part of the Historic Resources Technical Report.

Los Cerritos Wetlands Restoration Plan Program, Cultural Resource Assessment, Seal Beach, CA. Senior Architectural Historian. The Los Cerritos Wetlands Restoration EIR project will reinstate historic wetlands to a previously developed oil rig/production site that has been in operation since the early 20th century. As part of the larger restoration plan program, ESA was hired to conduct a cultural resources study to observe, document, and prepare preliminary mitigation measures related to identified built environment resources. Alison collaborated with the archeology team during a field visit to identify potential sites for later investigative studies. She reviewed historic aerial photographs, and conducted research to determine the companies and general ages of oil-industry related infrastructure including oil rigs, operations sheds, and decommissioned tank farms. Mitigation recommendations presented for the structures included Historic Resource Assessment reports to be conducted in the future. 3325 Monterey Road CEQA Impacts Analysis and Design Review, San Marino, California. Senior Architectural Historian. A two-story Art Deco style single-family residence, constructed in 1927 in San Marino, California was determined to be a historic resource. Proposed modifications to the residence included a two-story rear addition and building rehabilitation. Alison assisted with preservation design consultation and conducted a plan review for conformance with the SOI Standards for the proposed project. She coordinated with the project architect to better convey preservation components of the proposed work into the drawing set for city review. The review required a character-defining features analysis to determine the level of significance of the remaining features.

Golden Gate Village Historic Resource Evaluation, Marin City, CA. Architectural Historian. The highly-intact Golden Gate Village low-income housing complex was constructed in 1958 to house many of the former Marinship workers and their families. Designed by prominent mid-century designers including Aaron G. Green, John Carl Warnecke, and Lawrence Halprin, the property serves as an example of a well-designed housing complex, significant as a product of post-war urban development and for its prominent mid-century designers. Alison performed the site visit and conducted research through local and private archival repositories, plan analysis, and interviews, to produce the report narrative and historic evaluation for the property. Today, the property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Built in the early 20th century, the building was formerly a YMCA hotel used by young navy men and is currently a hotel along the waterfront with an adjacent YMCA recreational center. The hotel was proposing modifications which included rehabilitation work and reconfiguring the interior lobby space. Alison researched and documented the interior evolution by reviewing old plans, movies filmed on-location, post cards, and existing fabric. She established the building’s construction chronology with a focus on the building’s public spaces at the interior, overseeing the entire production of the report and created recommendations to update the client’s proposed plans which included acceptable sensitive modifications to historic features and recommendations for potential future demolition.

To: Mark Odell, City of Beverly Hills Date: 01/12/2022
From: Jan Ostashay, Principal OAC
Re: PEER REVIEW ASSESSMENT: Historical Resources Assessment - 1001 North Roxbury Drive Overview
At the request of the City of Beverly Hills Community Development Department, Planning Division, Ostashay & Associates Consulting (OAC) conducted a peer review of a historic resources assessment report prepared for the property referenced above. The assessment report entitled “1001 North Roxbury Drive, Historical Resources Assessment” is dated October 2021 and was prepared as a draft document by Environmental Science Associates (ESA) of Los Angeles, California. The ESA report is intended to provide an historic assessment of the subject property to support a “Certificate of Ineligibility” application submitted by the applicant (property owner/owner representative).

This peer review performed by OAC is conducted on behalf of the City to help consider the processing of the “Certificate of Ineligibility” application for the subject property. It addresses the overall adequacy of the ESA assessment report; the development of appropriate historic contexts for the property; application and interpretation of local City of Beverly Hills Landmark Designation Criteria; and the evaluators’ findings and conclusions for local landmark eligibility. The consideration of a property’s eligibility for potential National Register of Historic Places (National Register) and California Register of Historic Resources (California Register) eligibility are irrelevant in the processing of a “Certificate of Ineligibility” application.

Our processin conducting the peer review included an examination of the ESA report and observation of the project site. We also performed additional archival research and reviewed building permits, Sanborn fire insurance maps, historic aerial photographs, prior survey assessments of the area (as applicable), and other primary and secondary sources were collected and reviewed relevant to the property and associated historic contexts and themes.

As stipulated in the City’s Municipal Code, Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 32, Historic Preservation (BHMC 10-3-3212, herein cited as Ordinance), the designation (significance) criteria for recognizing potential landmark eligibility consists of two parts, Part A and Part B, each with their own subset of significance criteria. A property must satisfy all four criteria requirements under Part A and must satisfy at least one of the six criteria under Part B. The ESA report concludes that the 1001 North Roxbury Drive property is ineligible for City of Beverly Hills Landmark designation due to the fact that it does not satisfy Landmark Designation Criteria A.2, A.3, A.4 and B.1, B.2, B.3. B.4, B.5, and B.6.

PEER REVIEW ASSESSMENT: Historical Resources Assessment – 1001 North Roxbury Drive 2 Introduction
Generally, peer reviews of historic resources assessment reports are conducted to reassure lead agencies requesting the assessments that the identification and evaluation efforts performed are adequate, that the eligibility determinations made are logical and well supported, and that the document will, if necessary, facilitate regulatory compliance under the provisions of CEQA and the local municipal code. Review of historic resources documents for quality control is an essential part of the environmental review process.

As a primer, historic resources fall within the jurisdiction of several levels of government. Federal laws provide the framework for the identification, evaluation, designation, and in certain instances, protection of historic resources. States and local jurisdictions play active roles in the identification, recordation, landmarking, and protection of such resources within their communities primarily through their regulatory codes and policies.

The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, promulgated standardized practices and guidelines for identifying, evaluating, and documenting historic properties (Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines [Preservation Planning, Identification, and Evaluation]). The State Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) and most local governments in California recognize these practices and guidelines and recommend their use in order to maintain objectivity and consistency in the preparation of historic preservation documents and survey assessments.

Methodology
To complete this peer review memo, Ms. Ostashay completed the following tasks:
• Reviewed the “Certificate of Ineligibility” application (November 18, 2021) and also reviewed the “draft” historic resources assessment report prepared for the subject property by ESA dated October 2021.
• Reviewed the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance (BHMC 10-03-32) and prior citysponsored historic resources surveys, survey updates, and historic context statements. As applicable, OAC also reviewed other related survey material prepared in association with SurveyLA, which was a City of Los Angeles sponsored project. • Conducted additional archival research on the history of the subject property; its original owner and builder; physical alterations; past owners and occupants, and immediate the neighborhood. The extent of the research conducted by OAC was limited to what was necessary to assess the validity of the historic context developed and evaluation findings presented in the ESA assessment report. Background research performed included a review of many on-line resources locally and globally from a multitude of diverse research, archival, library, museum, and academic repositories and collections, including the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals.
• Reviewed relevant National Park Service (NPS) guidance documents on evaluating the significance of potential historic properties. Also searched the National Register online database, the City’s online sources, and OAC’s in-house library for any properties with similar contexts or evaluated under similar criteria as those discussed in the ESA assessment report PEER REVIEW ASSESSMENT: Historical Resources Assessment – 1001 North Roxbury Drive 3 (i.e. association with single-family residential development patterns, architecture and aesthetics, listing in the City’s List of Local Master Architects, etc.). • Considered and analyzed the assessment findings and research presented in the submitted assessment report for validity, clarity, and conformance with the basic professional principles and best practices for identifying and evaluating the significance of potential historic properties.
• Summarized the results of all of the tasks listed above within this memo.

Peer Review Assessment
This peer review performed by OAC was conducted to ensure that the current identification and evaluation efforts of the subject property for potential local landmark eligibility are adequate and that the findings are sound and well justified. The recommended approaches to the identification and evaluation of historic resources as discussed above have also been considered and utilized in conducting this peer review.

General Content and Format
In addition to reviewing and assessing evaluation findings, an important element of peer reviews is the assessment of the clarity of presentation, the adequacy of the research and context development, the understanding and application of significance criteria, and the consideration of historical integrity for which the report findings are based.

OAC found the report to be rather clear and logically organized despite some narrative inadequacies and contextual misinterpretation of research data, discrepancies with the site-specific assessment of historical integrity, and the non-relevant application of National Register and California Register criteria and consideration of the property as a historical resource under the California Environmental Quality Act (not applicable for consideration of an Ineligibility Certificate Application). Nonetheless, much of the overall format and presentation of the material in the report are professionally sound, technically correct, and well organized.

Analysis of Integrity Findings
It is standard practice to assess a property’s integrity as part of a historic evaluation. Integrity is a property’s ability to convey its historic significance through its physical features. The NPS publication entitled National Register Bulletin 15 defines seven aspects of integrity: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. Integrity is the authenticity of a property’s physical identity which is clearly indicated by the retention of characteristics (character-defining features) that existed during the property’s period of significance. The aspects of integrity that are essential vary depending on the significance of the property. However, in assessing a property’s integrity, the National Register criteria does recognize that properties change over time, therefore, it is not necessary for a property to retain all its historic physical features or characteristics. The property must retain, however, the essential physical features that enable it to convey its historic identity.

PEER REVIEW ASSESSMENT: Historical Resources Assessment – 1001 North Roxbury Drive 4 OAC has assessed the subject property’s historic integrity as follows:

Location: The place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred.

The property remains at its original location and, therefore, retains this aspect of integrity.

Design: The combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property.

The single-family residence has experienced minimal exterior alterations along those primarily elevations visible from the public right-of-way (its front facade). The modifications made to the rear of the structure and within the backyard area, which are considered secondary elevations and features, have not compromised the overall Regency Revival design, style, and aesthetics of the dwelling. The ESA report also states that “most of the changes have occurred on the rear of the subject property, which is not visible from the public right-of-way. The home’s primary elevation has undergone minimal changes over time and original materials and character-defining features of the home remain largely intact.”1 Those character-defining features that define its historic character, function, aesthetics, style and design, which are primarily located on the front façade, remain substantially intact. Therefore, OAC finds the property retains sufficient integrity of design.

Setting: The physical environment of a historic property.

As seen from the public right-of-way (along Roxbury Drive), the single-family residence under review maintains the original topographic features and spatial relationships between the residence, garage, driveway, front yard landscape, and open spaces as evident from its period of significance (date of completion, 1942). Despite changes to the backyard and rear of the building, which are not visible from the public right-of-way, the basic physical conditions under which the house was built and the functions it was intended to serve remain sufficiently evident. OAC contends the property retains sufficient integrity of setting.

As considered within in its neighborhood surroundings, the property’s residential setting adjacent large affluent single-family homes has been retained. The property’s historic setting within the neighborhood has been moderately altered over time by the demolition of older housing stock for the construction of new larger homes. Nonetheless, the majority of residences that infill the parcels along this block of Roxbury have construction dates prior to World War II, despite some being altered over the years. The overall neighborhood character of the thoroughfare along this tree lined portion of Roxbury share consistent setbacks, landscaped easements and sidewalks, circulation patterns, and varying architectural styles that were established and consistent with the early years of development.

OAC, therefore, believesthe surrounding neighborhood setting is relatively retained.

Materials: The physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property.

As the ESA report notes “the home’s primary elevation has undergone minimal changes over time and original materials and character-defining features of the home remain largely intact.”2 They also
note that the window panes of the house have been replaced with dual pane glass, the roof has been replaced (re-roofed), some additional chimneys have been added to the multi-gable roofing system, 1 1001 North Roxbury Drive, Historical Resources Assessment, ESA, October 2021, p. 94. 2 Ibid, p. 94.

PEER REVIEW ASSESSMENT: Historical Resources Assessment – 1001 North Roxbury Drive 5 and the brick veneer has been painted. The window panes were replaced within the original metal window frames, which maintained the visual profile and depth of read of the original framing and glazing system. For safety and general maintenance needs it is common to have the roof replaced and such work was done in-kind and per code. The addition of chimneys occurred primarily along the back half of the house and do not adversely compromise those important characteristics that define the Regency Revival architectural style of the house. The noted concern regarding the painting of the brick veneer is also questionable as it is unknown at this time whether the brick was originally painted white or not (as was also typical of the period and style). These modifications, many of which are rehabilitation or on-going general maintenance items, appear to have been conducted in-kind as to avoid adversely impacting the overall architectural quality and signature character-defining features of the residence. Those character-defining features including the recessed wood paneled front entrance door with rectilinear transom window, arched shaped window openings and associated wood louvered shutters, broken pediments over the entry and window openings, gable roof with a series of wall and roof dormers, polygonal projecting bay windows with standing seam metal roofs, multi-pane fenestration, balconettes with iron railings, and mixed cladding of brick, horizontal wood siding, and smooth plaster sheathing from its period of significance that identify as a Regency Revival style property are still visually and physically evident from the public right-of-way. Therefore, OAC finds the property retains integrity of materials.

Workmanship: The physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory.

Due to the retention of notable historic fabric and associated character-defining features, the property visually and physical retains sufficient integrity of workmanship. Its period craftsmanship, stylistic expression, and 1940s construction techniques continue to be conveyed through intact architectural features, as noted above.

Feeling: A property’s expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time.

As a readily recognizable example of Regency Revival architecture, the subject property is a direct expression of the moneyed architectural aesthetic of the idiom that defined the residential development of Beverly Hills, particularly in the area north of Sunset Boulevard, prior to World War II.

The dwelling has experienced few inappropriate alterations to its main, front elevation, which is highly visible from the public right-of-way, and continues to express the original aesthetic and historic sense from its period of significance. Thus, OAC finds the property retains this element of integrity.

Association: The direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property.

According to NPS guidance, a property possesses integrity of association if it retains the essential physical features that made up its character or appearance during the period of association with an important event or person. While a number of noted individuals owned and occupied the subject property over the years, it was not directly associated with their productive lives when they achieved prominence or significance. The property has sufficient physical and historical integrity; however, it was not found to be significant for its association with historic events or personages, so integrity of association does not apply.

In conclusion, OAC does not concur with the findings made in the ESA report that the property lacks integrity of workmanship, materials, and setting; and that it does not retain integrity to convey the appearance of its original construction intact. In assessing the subject property’s construction history, PEER REVIEW ASSESSMENT: Historical Resources Assessment – 1001 North Roxbury Drive 6 permit history, and historical integrity, it is OAC’s professional opinion that the residence retains the essential physical features (character-defining) that visually and physically conveys the property’s historic character and well-executed Regency Revival architectural style from its period of significance.

Therefore, it retains integrity of location, design, materials, workmanship, association, feeling, and setting.

Evaluation Findings
The City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance establishes historic significance criteria and the process for evaluating (and designating) properties as local landmarks for listing in the City of Beverly Hills Register of Historic Properties (BHMC 10-3-3212). As stipulated in the Ordinance, the significance designation criteria for recognizing potential landmark eligibility consists of two parts, Part A and Part B, each with their own subset of significance criteria. A property must satisfy all four criteria requirements under Part A and must satisfy at least one of the six criteria under Part B. The local City of Beverly Hills Landmark Designation Criteria requirements consist of the following:

A. A landmark must satisfy all of the following requirements:

1. It is at least 45 years (45) years of age, or is a property of extraordinary significance;

2. It possesses high artistic or aesthetic value, and embodies the distinctive characteristics of an architectural style or architectural type or architectural period;

3. It retains substantial integrity3 from its period of significance; and

4. It has continued historic value to the community such that its designation as a landmark is reasonable and necessary to promote and further the purposes of this article.

B. In addition to the requirements set forth in Paragraph A above, a landmark must satisfy at least one of the following requirements:

1. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places;

2. It is an exceptional work4 by a master architect;5

3. It is an exceptional work that was owned and occupied by a person of great importance, and was directly connected to a momentous event in the person’s endeavors or the 3 In BHMC 10-3-3202, the Ordinance defines “substantial integrity” as “integrity that is considerable in importance, value, degree, amount, or extent, and that continues to exist, or would have continued to exist, but for work done without appropriate permits after the enactment of this architect.” 4 In BHMC 10-3-3202, the Ordinance defines “exceptional work” as “a remarkably superior example of architectural work that has been recognized as such by members of the architectural community. At a minimum, the work’s exceptional quality shall have been documented by at least one of the following: a) it was the subject of a major architectural award; b) it was substantially discussed (i.e. not just mentioned) and photographically depicted in at least two (2) publications (e.g. a book, treatise, trade magazine article, film, or set of photographs made available to the public by an institutional archive) authored by acknowledged experts in the field of architecture. A monograph or publication made available to the public solely in electronic form and without any reasonable expectation of compensation to the author, or substantially authored by the architect of the work, shall not count toward this minimum.”
5 In BHMC 10-3-3202, the Ordinance defines “master architect” as “an architect of widely recognized greatness in the field of architecture whose individual genius influenced his or her age.” BHMC 10-3-3202, the Ordinance also defines “List of Local Master Architects,” as “a list maintained by the city that includes master architects as defined in this article who have designed properties in the city.” PEER REVIEW ASSESSMENT: Historical Resources Assessment – 1001 North Roxbury Drive 7 history of the nation. For purposes of this paragraph, personal events such as birth, death, marriage, social interaction, and the like shall not be deemed to be momentous;

4. It is an exceptional property that was owned and occupied by a person of great local prominence;

5. It is an iconic property;6 or

6. The landmark designation procedure is initiated, or expressly agreed to, by the owner(s) of the property.

The ESA report evaluated the subject property against City of Beverly Hills Landmark Designation Criteria to establish historical significance or lack thereof sufficient enough in processing a “Certificate of Ineligibility” application. ESA found the property ineligible for designation as a City of Beverly Hills landmark as it failed to satisfy all of the requirements under Landmark Designation Criteria part A and any one of the requirements under part B (BHMC 10-3-3212). OAC’s peer review of the evaluation findings for local landmark eligibility is as follows:

A. A landmark must satisfy all of the following requirements:

Criterion A.1. It is at least 45 years (45) years of age, or is a property of extraordinary significance.

OAC concurs with ESA’s finding that the subject property is over 45 years of age and satisfies Landmark Criteria A.1.

Criterion A.2. It possesses high artistic or aesthetic value, and embodies the distinctive characteristics of an architectural style or architectural type or architectural period.

OAC does not concur with ESA’s finding that the subject property does not satisfy Landmark Criteria A.2. The ESA report states the residence is a large example of the Regency Revival style, but otherwise is a non-distinct, fair example of the idiom. The ESA report also states that the property lacks integrity to convey its original construction appearance because of the alterations made to the rear (south secondary, non-visible elevation) of the building. The report goes on to argue that because the window panes within the existing window frames along the primary (front) elevation have been replaced (with dual pane, in-kind glazing) and the roof has been re-roofed (for maintenance purposes), as well as the brick veneer being painted white (which we do not know if it was originally painted white or not) the property sufficient lacks integrity to satisfy this criterion.

As discussed above under Analysis of Integrity Findings herein this memo, the subject property retains the essential physical features that enable it to convey its historic identity. The 1001 North Roxbury Drive residence is a very good, classic example of Regency Revival architecture. It embodies the distinctive characteristics of the idiom through its retention of associated character-defining features, including the recessed wood paneled front entrance door with transom window, arched shaped window openings and associated wood louvered shutters, broken pediments over the front entry and window openings, gable roof with a series of wall and roof dormers, polygonal projecting bay windows with standing seam metal roofs, multi-pane fenestration, balconettes with iron railings, and 6 In BHMC 10-3-3202, the Ordinance defines “iconic property” as “a property that has been visited and photographed so often by residents and visitors to the city that it has become inextricably associated with Beverly Hills in the popular culture and forms part of the city’s identity to the world at large.” PEER REVIEW ASSESSMENT: Historical Resources Assessment – 1001 North Roxbury Drive 8 mixed cladding of brick, horizontal wood siding, and smooth plaster sheathing from its period of significance (1942). In reviewing the permit history, construction of the property began in October 1941 and was completed in early 1942. Those architectural elements that identify the dwelling as a Regency Revival designed structure from the early 1940s are still clearly visually and physically evident from the public right-of-way. It is OAC’s professional opinion that the property satisfies this criterion.

Criterion A.3. It retains substantial integrity7 from its period of significance.

The ESA report states that the property lacks integrity for inappropriate changes made to the rear of the dwelling and its backyard space as well as because of minor maintenance changes to the front facade. OAC does not concur with ESA’s interpretation and analysis of integrity and their finding that the subject property does not satisfy Landmark Criteria A.3. Over the years, the subject property has experienced modifications to its rear elevation and within the enclosed backyard area of the very large parcel. Nonetheless, those elevations that are visually and physically evident from the public right-of-way retain the classic character-defining features of the original design intent and Regency Revival architectural style as envisioned by its designer Carlton Burgess, who is included in the City’s List of Local Master Architects. As discussed in the above paragraphs for Criterion A.2 and under the Analysis of Integrity Findings section of this memo, as seen from the street the property retains the quintessential form, plan, space, and style of Regency Revival residential architecture dating from the early 1940s. Therefore, OAC concludes that subject property sufficiently satisfies Landmark Criterion A.3, as defined in the Ordinance (BHMC 10-3-3202).

Criterion A.4. It has continued historic value to the community such that its designation as a landmark is reasonable and necessary to promote and further the purposes of this article.

OAC does not concur with ESA’s finding that the subject property does not satisfy Landmark Criterion A.4. Despite changes made to the subject property along its rear (secondary) elevation and within the backyard area, those elevations visually and physically evident from the public right-of-way are still intact and continue to convey the property’s historic character from the pre-World II era, distinctive Regency Revival style, and magnitude of design and form. Because of its notable corner location, large deep parcel (double lot), association with master builder and designer Carlton Burgess, and placement along a broad gracefully curved street within in a highly affluent Beverly Hills neighborhood north of Sunset Boulevard the property reflects the rich varied architectural heritage so closely tied to the history of the community. Therefore, it is OAC’s professional opinion that the 1001 North Roxbury Drive property has continued historic value and meets this requirement.

B. In addition to the requirements set forth in Paragraph A above, a landmark must satisfy at least one of the following requirements:

Criterion B.1. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

OAC concurs with ESA’s finding that the subject does not satisfy Landmark Criterion B.1.

Criterion B.2. It is an exceptional work8 by a master architect. 7 In BHMC 10-3-3202, the Ordinance defines “substantial integrity” as “integrity that is considerable in importance, value, degree, amount, or extent, and that continues to exist, or would have continued to exist, but for work done without appropriate permits after the enactment of this architect.” PEER REVIEW ASSESSMENT: Historical Resources Assessment – 1001 North Roxbury Drive 9 OAC does not concur with ESA’s reasoning that the subject property does not satisfy Landmark Criterion B.2. OAC, however, does conclude that the 1001 North Roxbury Drive property does not satisfy this particular criterion as it is not considered an “exceptional work,” as defined in the Ordinance. While Carlton L. Burgess is currently included in the City’s List of Local Master Architects and is considered a master builder who also designed many of his own projects, research undertaken for this peer review, including a review of the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals, has not found evidence that the property was ever the subject of a major architectural award or was substantially discussed or photographically depicted in a monograph or any other known publications.

Criterion B.3. It is an exceptional work that was owned and occupied by a person of great importance, and was directly connected to a momentous event in the person’s endeavors or the history of the nation. For purposes of this paragraph, personal events such as birth, death, marriage, social interaction, and the like shall not be deemed to be momentous.

OAC concurs with ESA’s finding that the subject does not satisfy Landmark Criterion B.3. To clarify, the property does not satisfy this criterion because it is not considered an “exceptional work,” as defined in the Ordinance. In addition, the property does not qualify under this criterion as it does not satisfy the definition of “person of great importance,” as defined in the Ordinance. The research conducted as part of this peer review did not identify any individuals associated with the property whose activities had a substantial impact on the history of the nation, whose name and exploits were widely known across America during his/her lifetime, and whose fame continues through to the present day.

Criterion B.4. It is an exceptional property that was owned and occupied by a person of great local prominence.

OAC concurs with ESA’s finding that the subject does not satisfy Landmark Criterion B.4. To clarify, the property does not satisfy this criterion because it does not meet the definition of “person of great local prominence,” as defined in the Ordinance. No documentation was found to indicate that any of the owners and occupants of the 1001 North Roxbury Drive property had a substantial impact on the City, and none of them have public streets or parks named after them.

Criterion B.5. It is an iconic property.

OAC concurs with ESA’s finding that the subject does not satisfy this criterion. 8 In BHMC 10-3-3202, the Ordinance defines “exceptional work” as “a remarkably superior example of architectural work that has been recognized as such by members of the architectural community. At a minimum, the work’s exceptional quality shall have been documented by at least one of the following: a) it was the subject of a major architectural award; b) it was substantially discussed (i.e. not just mentioned) and photographically depicted in at least two (2) publications (e.g. a book, treatise, trade magazine article, film, or set of photographs made available to the public by an institutional archive) authored by acknowledged experts in the field of architecture. A monograph or publication made available to the public solely in electronic form and without any reasonable expectation of compensation to the author, or substantially authored by the architect of the work, shall not count toward this minimum.”
PEER REVIEW ASSESSMENT: Historical Resources Assessment – 1001 North Roxbury Drive 10 Criterion B.6. The landmark designation procedure is initiated, or expressly agreed to, by the owner(s) of the property.

OAC concurs with ESA’s finding that the subject does not satisfy Landmark Criterion B.6.

The ESA assessment report also evaluated the subject property for National Register and California Register eligibility. As the consideration of the property’s National Register and California Register eligibility are irrelevant in the processing of the “Certificate of Ineligibility” application, they were not addressed or assessed as part of this peer review.

Conclusion
OAC has completed a professional peer review of a (draft) historic resources landmark assessment report prepared by ESA for the 1001 North Roxbury Drive property. The peer review was conducted by OAC to ensure that the current identification and evaluation findings of the subject property for City of Beverly Hills Landmark eligibility or ineligibility are adequate and that the findings of the ESA report are sound and well justified.

Despite some narrative discrepancies, limited in-depth contextual research on some subject matters, and the misinterpretation and application of historic integrity and the City’s Landmark Designation Criteria, OAC ultimately concurs with the report’s conclusion that the residence located at 1001 North Roxbury Drive does not satisfy the required mandates of the City of Beverly Hills’ Landmark Designation Criteria (BHMC 10-3-3212).

Based on our review of the ESA report and consideration of the additional research material collected and reviewed on the subject property, designer/builder, past and present owners and occupants, and associated historic contexts and themes, OAC findsthe subject property satisfies all four requirements of Beverly Hills Landmark Designation Criteria part A. However, under part B of the Landmark Designation Criteria it is not considered an “exceptional work” by master builder/designer Carlton Burgess (as defined in BHMC 10-3-3202). While Burgess is included in the City’s List of Local Master Architects, the property itself has not been photographically depicted or featured in at least two scholarly works on architecture (or popular journals) nor has it been recognized or won any type of architectural award. The property is also ineligible under Landmark Designation Criteria B.3 and B.4 as it is does not meet the definition of an “exceptional work” and was not owned and occupied by a person of great national or local importance/prominence. In addition, the subject property under review does not satisfy the definition of an “iconic property” (Landmark Designation Criterion B.5) and the property owner has not initiated or expressly agreed to designate the improvement (Landmark Designation Criterion B.6). Please keep in mind that OAC has not considered or evaluated the property for National Register and California Register eligibility. In addition, OAC has not assessed the property for CEQA compliance. Such evaluation assessments are irrelevant to the processing of a “Certificate of Ineligibility” application.

p. 16 EOITOR"S LETTER
Russian designers who make
interesting furniture can be
counted on the fingers of one
hand. And we have already
written about them. Russian
decorators who can create European grade interiors use -foreign material": both the furniture
and the ideas behind all good
Russian designs are imported.

How, in this case, is one to put
together a -Russian· issue?
In our Russian consciousness,
the touchstone for design quality
is similarity to anything foreign.

In this sense. Peter the Great,
with his kowtowing to the West,
was a trailblazer. On the other
hand, we love to complain that
our designers lack independence.

But let us try again lo remember
that the historical high points of
the Russian interior were not the
work of Russians: our baroque,
our Empire, all our great palaces
are stylizations - western design
idioms adapted for Russian
tastes. The same is true today.

So what is the problem? We are
merely maintaining a national
tradition.

In this issue there is an apartment designed under the influence of the Belgian style. Yet just look at those gray walls, at
the stove, at the light that could
not exist anywhere else - this is
a Moscow apartment. Then tell
me. what difference does it make
where a person finds inspiration,
if the result Is unique? I know
the answer: inspiration has no
nationality. I proudly put decorator
Ekaterina Kotova·s apartment on
the cover of AD. And by the way,
this is the first time in the history
of our magazine that a Russian
issue has a Russian apartment
on the cover.

In this idyllic setting Stephen

floors, ceilings, and walls of the
house. And in order not to wound
the earth by digging a foundation,
the building was put on piles. The
interior accentuates the pre-fabricated, dismountable construction:

Stephen did not cover the joints

wood looks like wood, metal
like metal. The furniture is also
restrained, be it 'design classics·
from the 1960s or custom-made
pieces. The main thing is that the
colors inside do not clash with
the natural environment outside.

As a result, the aim of building

the form of smart, subtle, and
absolutely grown-up architecture.

146. Turn At the Gate. Architect Mark Rios helped an owner of the Beverly Hills house to return to the 1960s.

Decorator Ekaterina Kotova decided that gray is the best color for her central Moscow apartment. English architect Quinlan Terry built a mansion in London, that you cannot tell from authentic buildings of XVIII century. Businessman David Bonett and his architect Mark Rios transformed a house in Beverly Hills into a nature reserve of 1960s style.

French-American family with two kids moved into a restored XI century French castle.

Architect Olga Freiman showed AD interior design of her Moscow apartment, that she’s been working on for 12 years. American architect Steven Kiran decided to get harmonious with nature by building an adult version of a kids treehouse. *There are two longer paragraphs on this page but they do not seem to be relevant to this house.

…”Our summer house turned out to be modest. Total 180 sq. meters with siding made of pine planks. “These are reasonable people, they understand that you do not need a mansion’, says project designer. And adds that technical requirements were written on a small piece of paper, only a list of necessary rooms. Clients did not interfere with a style requests.” “I love Frank Lloyd-Wright, but pseudo-Wright that everyone is building – everyone is sick of it, declares Oleg.-That is why I tried not to copy anything, but to create something unique, more of a simple and vacation house style”. At the end, the only thing that reminds us of Wright is the wide fences of balconies, that emphasize horizontal built.

Color palette is muted, black and white. “I love bright colors only in small additions, confesses Oleg. –And then I wanted to re-create an atmosphere of old soviet vacation homes. Certainly, not from an architectural stand point. But a mood of colorlessness was also present”.

Page 10 ends

But mood is not an architecture, and not even a color solution, which is being dictated by designer. In this case the house is really arranged in old-fashioned style. Here, for example, you are not going to spend much time in a kitchen as was the custom during Soviet Period of Stagnation (1970s) custom, which flowed into a new life. Prep kitchen is moved into a pass-through room where you cannot even sit down. Architect built a dining room in an opposite side of the house. “I love that people interact by sitting down at the table. But informal kitchen gathering is a bad tradition”, Oleg thinks. A dining room wall behind the table is finished with toned oak panels. Sounds simple, but it’s a lot of work.

House has a lot of custom built-in subjects: mantelpiece fireplace, doors and built-in closets. “Hand-made work in Russia is more expensive than in Europe, but you are saving on delivery fees”, says Klodt. “And as a result, for the same money you are getting a custom thing”. But savings aside, you would not call this design cheap. Even if you remove all the designer furniture from the house, a feeling of comfort and attention to detail will remain. And that in itself is very precious, reveals Oleg. And then…(cuts off). 1001 North Roxbury Drive

I designed the house. "The cottage turned out to be modest. The area is only 180 square meters, the facade is sheathed with pine boards. "These are sane people, they understand that there is no need to build mansions in the country," says the author of the project. And he adds that the technical task drawn up by the customers fit on a tiny piece of paper - just a list of necessary requirements. Clients did not interfere with style issues. "I love Frank Lloyd Wright very much, but the pseudo-rightist that everyone is building in the Moscow region has already filled his teeth," Oleg says. "That's why I tried not to copy anything, but to make something of my own - a simpler and more suburban look." As a result, the Wright here is only reminded of the wide railings of the balconies, emphasizing the horizontal of the building. The color scheme in the house is restrained, black and white. "I like bright colors only in the form of small inclusions," Oleg admits. - And then I wanted to recreate the atmosphere of the old Soviet summer houses. Of course, not from the point of view of architecture. But the feeling of colorlessness was also present there." By the way, the atmosphere is not architecture or even a color solution, but a way of life that dictates the interior. In this sense, the house is really old-fashioned. Here, for example, it is not customary to spend time in the kitchen according to a stagnant custom that has passed into a new life.

The cooking area is taken out into a walk-through room, where there is nowhere to sit down. And the architect deliberately arranged the dining room at the other end of the house. "I love it when people talk while sitting at the table. But kitchen gatherings are a bad tradition," Oleg believes. The wall against which the dining table stands is covered with tinted oak panels. It seems to be simple, but it is quite timeconsuming. There are a lot of custom-made items in the house in general: a fireplace portal, doors, builtin wardrobes. "Handmade in Russia is more expensive than in Europe. But you save on delivery," says Klodt. - And as a result, you get a piece thing for the same money." But saving is saving, and you can't call this interior a penny. Even if you take all the designer furniture out of the house, the feeling of comfort and attention to detail will still remain here. And that in itself is worth a lot. Oleg admits. - And then… [Article cuts off].

Subject: Historical Resource Assessment Research Methodology for 1001 North Roxbury Drive, Beverly Hills and Review of Additional Articles
Dear Mr. Murray Fischer, Esquire,
In October 2021, ESA prepared a Historical Resources Assessment (HRA) for the single-family residence at 1001 North Roxbury Drive (subject property), Beverly Hills, California (City). The evaluation found that the 1942 Regency Revival style residence built by contractor, real estate developer, and builder Carleton Lyle Burgess is ineligible as a City of Beverly Hills Landmark. The report found that the subject property was not the subject of a substantive written or photographic discussion in any major architectural periodicals nor was it discussed in a monograph or other publication.

ESA’s report was peer reviewed by the City of Beverly Hills historic consultant Jan Ostashay, who also found the home ineligible as a Beverly Hills Landmark. While the peer review found that “OAC ultimately concurs with the report’s conclusion that the residence located at 1001 North Roxbury Drive does not satisfy the required mandates of the City of Beverly Hills’ Landmark Designation Criteria (BHMC 10-3-3212),” OAC's evaluation of the residence under Beverly Hills Criteria A and B differed from ESA's. ESA's report and the peer review were circulated to the Beverly Hills Cultural Heritage Commission before the Director of Community Development made the final determination to issue the Certificate of Eligibility for the property. This determination was based on the finding that the property does not “satisfy the definition of an ‘exceptional work’ by the Master Architect…as it was not the subject of any publications or architectural awards discussing or honoring the property for its design and merit.”1
The decision to grant a Certificate of Ineligibility was called up for review by a Beverly Hills City Councilmember at a City Council meeting in March 2022. At this meeting, a Cultural Heritage Commission (CHC) commissioner also presented the City Council with two magazine articles written about the property. The CHC commissioner asserted that the discovery of these articles show that the property might qualify as an exceptional work as defined by the City's preservation ordinance. 2 Two specific articles that feature the subject
property were cited:

1. "A Transitional Beverly Hills Residence with an Old Hollywood Feel," Luxe Interiors + Design, June 2, 2015.
1 Samuel Braslow, "City Council Resumes In-Person Meetings," Beverly Hills Courier, March 17, 2022, https://beverlyhillscourier.com/2022/03/17/city-council-resumes-in-person-meetings/. 2 Ibid.

March 30, 2022

Page 2 ends

2. An article in Russian published in an international edition of Architectural Digest from an unspecified date.3
The City’s preservation ordinance defines an “exceptional work” as follows:

A remarkably superior example of architectural work that has been recognized as such by members of the architectural community. At a minimum, the work's exceptional quality shall have been documented by at least one of the following: a) it was the subject of a major architectural award; b) it was substantively discussed (i.e., not just mentioned) and photographically depicted in a monograph on a master architect's career; or c) it was substantively discussed or photographically depicted in at least two (2) publications (e.g., a book, treatise, trade magazine article, film, or set of photographs made available to the public by an institutional archive) authored by acknowledged experts in the field of architecture. A monograph or publication made available to the public solely in electronic form and without any reasonable expectation of compensation to the author, or substantially authored by the architect of the work, shall not count toward this minimum.4
This memorandum provides a further information about ESA’s research methodology and sources used when conducting the original HRA for 1001 North Roxbury Drive and an assessment of the two identified articles listed above in conjunction with the City’s definition of an exceptional property as defined in its preservation ordinance.

Professional Qualifications
ESA’s October 2021 HRA and this memorandum were prepared by a team of ESA’s architectural historians— including Margarita Jerabek-Bray, Ph.D., Director of Historical Resources; Alison Garcia Kellar, M.S., Senior Architectural Historian; and Claire Cancilla, M.S., Architectural Historian—all of whom meet and exceed the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards in history and architectural history. Professional qualifications are provided in Attachment A.

HRA Research Methodology
ESA conducted research to ascertain whether the subject property has been substantively discussed or photographed in a recognized architectural periodical or other publication, or if the property was discussed in the context of the work of builder Carleton Lyle Burgess.

Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals at Columbia University To conduct this research, ESA utilized standard research techniques and repositories for architectural history, including searches of the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals at Columbia University. The Avery Index, updated weekly, is the industry standard for identifying articles about architects and architecture published in architectural monographs, periodicals, and other publications. It offers a “comprehensive listing of journal articles published worldwide on architecture and design, archaeology, city planning, interior design, landscape 3 Ibid.

architecture, and historic preservation.”5 The Avery Index includes articles from the 1930s to the present, with some coverage going back as far as the 1740s.

To conduct research on 1001 North Roxbury Drive, ESA utilized various search terms in the Avery Index. First, ESA searched for the home’s address and iterations thereof.6 These searches included the home’s address; its address in combination with all configurations Carleton Lyle Burgess’ name; only searching “Roxbury Drive” or “Roxbury”; the full address with Beverly Hills; only Roxbury and Beverly Hills; Roxbury and Carleton Burgess; Beverly Hills and Carleton Lyle Burgess; and other combinations with these various search terms.

City of Beverly Hills Historic Consultant Jan Ostashay also conducted an Avery Index search to verify ESA’s findings. She stated in her peer review of ESA’s report that: “research undertaken for this peer review, including a review of the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals, has not found evidence that the property was ever the subject of a major architectural award or was substantially discussed or photographically depicted in a monograph or any other known publications.”7
While preparing this memorandum, ESA conducted an additional Avery Index search with the above discussed search terms to verify the accuracy of the initial research. This confirmed the results of ESA’s original research; no additional articles about the subject property were identified. Neither the Luxe Interiors + Design article nor any article about the subject property in international editions of Architectural Digest or any other publication appeared in these additional Avery Index search results.

Additional Research Methods
In addition to searching the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals, ESA utilized additional repositories and search engines to identify any articles or publications about the subject property as part of the original HRA research effort. Search engines consulted for ESA’s report included Newspapers.com; Google and Google Books; the City of Beverly Hills Department of Planning documents8; Calisphere, which allows users to simultaneously search the online archives of hundreds of documents from many academic institutions, museums, and other repositories such as the Los Angeles Public Library and the University of Southern California; the Online Archive of California, which allows uses to search finding aids for archival collections for repositories throughout California; the City of Beverly Hills’ 1984-1985 historic resources survey and 2004 update; the Beverly Hills 5Avery Architecture and Fine Arts Library at Columbia University, "Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals," N.D., https://library.columbia.edu/libraries/avery/avery-index.html. 6 These include spelling out “North” or abbreviating as “N”; spelling out “Drive” and abbreviating to “Dr”; and only searching “1001 Roxbury,” among other combinations.
7 Jan Ostashay, Ostashay & Associates, "Peer Review Assessment: Historical Resources Assessment - 1001 North Roxbury,” prepared for the City of Beverly Hills Department of Planning, January 2022, 7. 8 This was done via Google, through the following technique: “[search term]” Site: http://beverlyhills.granicus.com.

Search terms used included iterations of the home’s address, Carleton Burgess, and combinations therein. This type of search specifically searches the website entered rather than gathering general results from across the web as is the case with a typical Google search. This allowed ESA to identify published City of Beverly Hills documents that mention the subject property that may otherwise have been buried in typical Google search.

March 30, 2022

Historical Society’s website; and myriad books and online sources.9 In addition, ESA conducted site specific research on the development of the residence and surrounding area through sources such as aerial photographs and Sanborn Maps.10
ESA further conducted extensive research on Burgess’ life and career, which involved utilizing the research repositories listed above, as well as building permit research on other properties designed by Burgess; Burgess' 1919 high school yearbook; the historical directory of the American Institute of Architects; the California Architects Board; and Burgess’ census and voter registration records. None of this research identified any monographs or architectural publications covering Burgess’ career or covering 1001 North Roxbury Drive.

The sources consulted by ESA in preparation of the October 2021 HRA are industry standard and are consulted for due diligence when conducting historical architectural research and historic resource evaluations. They are reliable means of identifying significant published articles about a property.

Additional Article
While writing this memorandum, ESA also identified and analyzed an article that discusses the 900 and 1000 blocks of North Roxbury Drive. The article is entitled “The Street Where They Lived” and was written by Todd Purdum for Vanity Fair in 1999 (a copy of the article is included as Attachment B). 11 This article describes the
lives and experiences of notable occupants of the 900 and 1000 blocks of North Roxbury over time, calling out specific homes in which celebrities such as Ira Gershwin, Lucille Ball, Rosemary Clooney, and others lived.

While this article does provide information on the neighborhood at large, it does not mention 1001 North Roxbury at all, does not include images of the property, and does not substantively discuss its architecture.

Review of Luxe Interiors + Design Article
The first article identified during the March 2022 City Council meeting about the subject property is a piece published in Luxe Interiors + Design, which is not an academic journal or publication about architecture or design; it is a popular magazine primarily devoted to interior design. A copy of the article is included as Attachment C. The brief 8-paragraph article on the subject property discusses the remodel project completed by Mark Rios of Rios Clementi Hale Studios for owners David Bohnett and Tom Gregory. The article is focused on the remodel and the interior design by Rios. According to the article, Rios stated, “It was a beautifully proportioned, elegant house, but none of the details were particularly spectacular. David wanted to make it 9 Additional online sources consulted include: digitally available Beverly Hills and Los Angeles landmark nominations; The Real Deal; Time Magazine; Beverly Press; Beverly Hills Courier; Los Angeles Business Journal; City of Los Angeles Historic Context Statements (for background and architectural style information, as well as to identify any potential references to Burgess); and books such as Forgotten Modern and A Field Guide to American Houses. 10 Site-specific research also included building permits, historic City directories, historical photographs as available, and Ancestry.com records.

unique.”12 The kitchen was modernized, baths and powder rooms rebuilt, and a large terrace added along the second-floor master bedroom.

The piece also includes comments from George Peper, president of Fort Hill Construction, the contractor who stated, “The house was visually in good condition, but that view was a bit misleading.”13 He noted that while the design changes were made, the house was also brought up to current structural standards. The article goes on to discuss the simplified landscape improvements and contemporary eclectic interior design. The last paragraph notes that the unexpected quality of the interior design is part of the home’s success, as according to Rios, “It has a quiet approach, but, as you walk inside, it surprises you. It’s like a story; as you move through, you get to know the characters, and they become a little more eccentric.”14 The article does not have a scholarly discussion about the residence’s architecture. There is no mention of the historic character or significance of the property, except that it “evokes the glamour of Old Hollywood”15 and that the classic lines of the tennis pavilion echo the traditional lines of the main house. The article does not discuss the historic architecture of the residence. This article was not published at the time of the home’s original construction, 1942; it was published in 2015. This article was not published when the residence was originally built, nor does it discuss the house as an award-winning design or innovative project from that time. The topic of this article is a recent interior design by Rios and therefore it does not support eligibility under the City’s ordinance as an “exceptional work.”
Further, the article contains factual errors about the home’s history, including a photograph caption that incorrectly states that the home is a “1930s Paul Williams-style structure.”16 The subject property was built in 1942. The article makes no mention of the home’s actual builder, Carleton Lyle Burgess.

Article Solicitation and Lack of Authorship
Luxe Interiors + Design further solicits stories on home renovations, which may have been how the article about 1001 North Roxbury Drive was published. Individuals not affiliated with the magazine can submit a home renovation project to Luxe editors in various regions for publication. When submitting a home project to the magazine, the submission guidelines state that "the home cannot have been previously published."17 Luxe further has a submission guideline document that includes additional considerations for submitting projects to the magazine.18

If the article in Luxe about the subject property was indeed the result of a submission, it would not constitute a valid source for the property to be considered an exceptional work. The article further has no attributed author, which also makes it impossible to ascertain whether the person who wrote the article is an “acknowledged expert in the field of architecture,”19 as required for an article to meet the threshold to qualify a property as an “exceptional work” in the City’s preservation ordinance.

The Luxe article confirms the 2006-2007 alterations ESA covered in the original HRA but does not provide any new information that is pertinent to the evaluation. The article is not adequate to qualify the subject property as an exceptional work as defined in the City’s preservation ordinance.

Review of Architectural Digest Article
The second article mentioned during the March 2022 City Council meeting was of an unspecified title published in Russian in an international edition of Architectural Digest at an unspecified date.20 A translation of the Architectural Digest article was provided by Ryan Gohlich of the City of Beverly Hills. The full translation with all images provided by the City is available in Attachment D. Translations in the figures referenced below are italicized in the captions for clarity.

This article discusses the same interior renovation as the Luxe article (Figure 1). It was not published when the home was first constructed, does not mention the builder, does not substantively discuss the architecture, and it is unclear if the author was an expert in the field of architecture. As the translator of the article pointed out, there are many grammatical errors and missing words and some of the captions do not align with the associated photograph (example in Figure 2 below). Some captions are used twice for different images (example in Figure 3) and there are instances in which the text is not talking about the subject property at all, even though it includes a photograph of the subject property (example in Figure 4). The translator further noted that there appears to be languages other than Russian at some points in the article, that there are grammatical errors, and that the article The additional considerations outlined include:
• The home should have a connection to the local design community, i.e., the interior designer, architect, builder or landscape architect should be based in the region
• The design should be recently completed—within the past 1-2 years • Avoid pitching projects featured on social media. Our goal is to offer readers an exclusive experience • Include a short proposal about the project: Who worked on it? What is the scope of the project? Where is it located?

Conclusion
ESA prepared an HRA documenting the history of 1001 North Roxbury and evaluating its eligibility as a Beverly Hills Landmark. The research identified no published sources that discussed or photographed the subject property in its time, nor did it identify any monographs or periodicals discussing the home that would qualify the home as an exceptional property as defined in the City’s preservation ordinance.

This memorandum outlined ESA’s research techniques, repositories and sources utilized for the preparation of this report. These techniques are industry standard and required for adequate due diligence when evaluating a potential historic resource. ESA reviewed the Avery Index again during the preparation of this memorandum to ensure no articles were missed in the initial research; this search confirmed the accuracy of ESA’s original research. ESA also reviewed an additional article from Vanity Fair that discussed the 900 and 1000 blocks of North Roxbury Drive, but this article does not mention the subject property.

ESA further searched for two articles brought up in the Beverly Hills City Council meeting in March 2022 pertaining to the subject property. ESA located and reviewed the 2015 article covering the recent interior design and renovation of the subject property in Luxe Interiors + Design. Luxe is a popular magazine, and there is no March 30, 2022

author associated with the article. This article was not published when the residence was originally built, nor does it discuss the house as an award-winning design or innovative project from that time. The topic of this article is a recent interior design by Rios and therefore it does not support eligibility under the City’s ordinance as an “exceptional work.” ESA also reviewed the translation of the Russian Architectural Digest article which discusses the same interior remodel of the home by Mark Rios. This article is does not substantively discuss the architecture of the home, its history, or its significance. As such, neither of these articles meet the definition required by the City to qualify 1001 North Roxbury as an exceptional property.

Educational Facilities and University Campuses, CA. Principal Investigator/Project Manager. Dr. Jerabek-Bray has conducted numerous evaluations of school and university campuses throughout Southern California.

Under ESA’s on-call contract with the Los Angeles Unified School District, she has managed and completed over 30 task orders involving historic resources, including campus assessments, character-defining features analysis, and project reviews for compliance with CEQA. For example, Margarita managed and conducted preparation of a historic resources technical report for Jefferson High School and provided preservation design consultation for this site-specific school upgrade and modernization project under the District’s School Upgrade Program (SUP). The proposed project included the rehabilitation of existing character-defining buildings and landscapes, demolition and removal of noncontributing buildings, and construction of new facilities. Rehabilitation work included modernization and seismic upgrade to existing buildings. Because the school site is considered a historical resource under CEQA, Margarita provided design consultation for conformance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards to reduce potential project impacts to less than significant. Once project plans were developed, Margarita oversaw review of the proposed project by ESA historic staff and completed impacts analysis findings regarding potential project impacts to identified historical resources that would be affected by the project. Margarita also provided project management, oversight and contributed to the preparation of CEQA and NEPA procedural guidelines to help the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to comply with the historical resources requirements of CEQA and NEPA, and to implement practical approaches to preserving culturally significant resources whenever possible. The LAUSD’s Office of Environmental Health and Safety requested the preparation of CEQA and NEPA guidelines, in addition to design guidelines and treatment approaches, specifically in support of the School Upgrade Program, and generally to guide ongoing repair and maintenance work on these sites. The guidelines build upon the District’s ongoing efforts to identify historical resources, including the recently updated Historic Context Statement, survey of 55 campuses, creation of an ArcGIS-compatible database with current and previous survey results, and a Historic Resources Inventory. Dr. Jerabek-Bray worked with LAUSD and facilities staff to determine the scope, class, and type of projects that would impact historical resources and need to be addressed in the procedural guidelines. As a final work product, Dr. Jerabek-Bray authored a CEQA and NEPA procedural guidelines document that included the following sections: introduction, regulatory setting, environmental setting, project description, management and planning guidelines, procedural low charts for CEQA and NEPA/Section 106, and standard mitigation measures.

Margarita served as the project manager and principal investigator for the district-wide cultural resources survey for Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD) which included the evaluation of 70 potentially eligible District school facilities for listing in the National Register and California Register, and included preservation guidelines for the district-wide facilities modernization program.

Margarita completed a district-wide historic resources survey for the Santa Monica Unified School District, and provided preservation consultation for modernization and additions to selected school sites.

As part of the larger USC Master Plan Project Margarita prepared a historic resources analysis for the USC Student Union Project IS/MND evaluating the Formalist Modern Norman Topping Center and impacts to the adjacent Commons Building and surrounding historic district. She also prepared a HABS report for the Schoenburg Institute at USC. Other HABS reports for educational facilities include the Gymnasium at the University of La Verne, and the Administration Building at Harvard-Westlake Academy.

Harkham Hillel Hebrew Academy Renovation and Expansion Project, Historic Resources Assessment and Impacts Analysis, Beverly Hills, CA. Principal Investigator/Project Manager. Margarita directed the historic significance analysis of two school buildings—the original Oakhurst Building designed by master architect Sydney Eisenshtat in 1963 in the Modern Style and the Doheny Building constructed in 1989 and designed by Harshad Patel. She oversaw preparation of an intensive-level Historic Resource Assessment Report for the two buildings in accordance with the California Office of Historic Preservation’s requirements for preparing historic resource evaluation reports. ESA found that the Oakhurst Building is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Resources under criteria A/1 and C/3, but it did not meet the requirements for local eligibility under the City of Beverly Hills criteria.

The client plans to rehabilitate the existing buildings, which would be updated for current use and continue to function as school buildings. The proposed project would add two additions to the rear of the property in order to accommodate additional classroom and gymnasium space. Margarita oversaw preparation of a character-defining features analysis and provided design consultation for conformance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards to reduce potential project impacts to less than significant. She also conducted an impacts analysis of the proposed project and prepared a preservation plan that was incorporated into the project as a project design feature to ensure the project would meet the Secretary’s Standards for Rehabilitation. The project has been reviewed and approved by the City of Beverly Hills as an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration.

Rehabilitation of the Dunbar Hotel, 4255 S. Central Avenue, Los Angeles, CA.

Project Manager/Principal Architectural Historian. As a Project Manager, Dr.

Jerabek-Bray directed a careful space-by-space inventory of character-defining features (including all windows) associated with the Dunbar Hotel’s period of significance (1928-1970). This included photo documentation of each feature along with a written description, condition, and treatment options. ESA recorded 425 character- defining features and spaces into an electronic database. Dr. Jerabek was principal author for the rehabilitation report that included a project description, methods, historical background and construction history, accompanied by historic photographs, an architectural description of existing conditions, a maintenance plan for high-integrity features, a restoration plan for low-integrity features, and a replication plan. The written report also provided a list of any issues and concerns that should be taken into account during the building rehabilitation and for the long-term preservation of the Dunbar Hotel. The hotel reopened in June 2013 as a senior living facility amidst local fanfare, “An encore for the historic Dunbar Hotel,” Los Angeles Times, June 11, 2013. The project was the recipient of the 2014 Westside Prize from the Westside Urban Forum and recipient of a 2014 Preservation Award from the L.A. Conservancy.

Historical Resources and Preservation Consulting Services for The Culver Studios, Culver City, CA. Project Manager/Principal Architectural Historian. Since late 2014, Dr. Jerabek-Bray and ESA’ s Historic Resources Practice has provided a suite of services including historical resources evaluation, environmental review and documentation, and historic preservation consultation services for the CPA-6 Specific Plan, and the CPA-7 Specific Plan known as “The Innovation Plan,” a blueprint for the future of The Culver Studios. Dr. Jerabek is the point of contact for historic services, attends client and city meetings, attends public hearings, provides technical direction and advice, directs and conducts the preparation of report deliverables, directs and conducts construction monitoring, and acts as the City’s preservation officer for the Innovation Plan.

The Plan will transform the 14.3-acre Studio into a new media production hub, keeping the Studio on the vanguard of changing production practices in the entertainment industry. The Culver Studios is a motion picture studio in downtown Culver City established in 1919 by Thomas Ince, and eventually became the home of RCA, one of the “Big Eight” major motion picture companies in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The Studio was the production site of historically significant motion pictures like King Kong, Gone with the Wind, and Citizen Kane. The Innovation Plan will restore and re-group historic structures adjacent to the Mansion, build new support buildings near existing historic sound-stages, and establish a creative campus in the core of the 14.3-acre studio lot. The Studio’s 100-year history will be showcased, historic bungalows will be preserved, and original landscaping in front of the Mansion will be restored. The Innovation Plan balances the need to provide state-of-the-art studio facilities, while retaining the Studio’s unique ambiance and prominent place in the community. ESA surveyed and evaluated the Studio’s historical resources, provided input to the development of The Plan to reduce impacts to historical resources, completed HABS report for Bungalows S, T, U and V, prepared a Relocation and Rehabilitation Plan for the bungalows, conducted construction monitoring for relocation of the bungalows, conducted plan reviews for tenant improvements to the Mansion and associated historic buildings in the historic core, conducted a landscape analysis, and provided documentation and input for the landscape restoration.

Historic Resources and Preservation Consultation Services for the Redevelopment of the Fred C. Nelles State Reform School, Whittier, CA. Project Manager/Principal Architectural Historian. The Fred C. Nelles Correctional Facility is a listed California State Landmark, and is significant as the state’s first reform school for boys. The 1920s-1930s Tudor Revival-style campus is currently vacant and will soon be redeveloped as a multi-use residential and commercial project, “The Groves”, entitled under the certified Lincoln Specific Plan EIR. For over a decade, Dr. Jerabek-Bray has been providing Historic Resources and Preservation Consultation services to the developer, Brookfield Homes. Work began with preparation of a historic resources assessment report to clarify the regulatory status and assessed the potential eligibility of a historic district. No district was found to be present, but eight individual resources were identified. Margarita conducted an opportunities and constraints analysis and provided input to the developer on managing impacts to historic resources and the feasibility of adaptive reuse of the individual buildings for the project.

She directed preparation of feasibility studies for the EIR, that were peer reviewed by the City’s consultants. She provided peer review of the Lincoln Plan EIR on behalf of the developer, and attended city meetings and hearings for the EIR. Once the EIR was certified, she worked with the developer’s architect to prepare rehabilitation plans for the individual resources to be retained and adaptively reused. The rehabilitation plans were peer reviewed by the City and the City’s preservation consultant. She directed ESA’s historic team in the completion of a HABS/HALS for the campus, with photography by Positive Image. She also worked with Eye-Glass Productions on a documentary film, and oral histories. Dr. Jerabek-Bray assisted the client to implement a full suite of mitigation measures including a heritage trail, a signage program, oral histories, salvage program, and construction monitoring for rehabilitation historic buildings. She recently completed consultation services and construction monitoring for adaptive reuse of the school’s Commissary as a community center (The Commons), which is the first historic building to be restored.

Home Savings and Loan Art and Architecture Conservation Services, Interpretive Exhibit, Montebello, CA. Project Manager/Principal Investigator. Margarita provided project management and oversight for the conservation work of the art and architecture and an interpretive exhibit for the Montebello branch of Home Savings and Loan Association. Constructed in 1973, the Montebello branch was designed by Millard Sheets (1907–1989), an accomplished, nationally prominent artist and designer, with integrated art works by the Millard Sheets Design Company. The building and art works were preserved in preparation for the building’s new use as a medical office by PIH Health. ESA provided oversight for the conservation work undertaken by Preservation Arts.

Additionally, Margarita assisted with the development of a project schedule, conducted conservation monitoring and documentation, and provided project oversight during the implementation of the conservation project to ensure that the cleaning and repair of the art works and exterior architectural materials was conducted in accordance with accepted standards for art and architectural conservation work, that the work completed is of acceptable quality, and that the project stayed on schedule and within budget. After the conservation work was completed, she oversaw the development of an interpretive exhibit to beautify the interior and protect the building’s important art, architecture, and history. The exhibit contains professionally mounted permanent narrative panels and photographic enlargements with captions illustrating the key information about the Montebello Branch and its historic use. One of the highlights of the interpretive exhibit is a reproduction of the original tapestry hung its original location for which ESA coordinated with the Mingei International Museum. The project was the recipient of a prestigious 2016 Preservation Design Award from the California Preservation Foundation.

Rancho Los Amigos South Campus EIR, County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Works, Downey. CA. Project Manager/Principal Architectural Historian.

The County of Los Angeles (County) proposes redevelopment of a portion of the Rancho Los Amigos (RLA) South Campus which is located in the City of Downey.

The 74-acre RLA South Campus was the home of the “Los Angeles County Poor Farm” that was established in 1880s to provide room and board to indigent citizens in exchange for agricultural labor, then served as an infirmary and later evolved into a hospital facility in 1932. The RLA South Campus functioned as a major hospital complex from 1956 to the 1990s, when it was abandoned. The RLA South Campus is currently unoccupied and has been designated as the RLA Historic District in the National Register of Historic Places. The County is proposing redevelopment of a 21-acre portion of the RLA South Campus with County uses, including a Sheriff’s Station Crime Laboratory, Internal Services Department Headquarters, and Probation Department Headquarters. The project will include supporting parking and installation of utilities and other features on a site that has been abandoned for nearly 30 years. Building demolition and/or repurposing or relocation of existing buildings will be required. ESA lead the CEQA process on behalf of the County, including preparation of all technical studies in support of a full-scope EIR for the RLA South Campus Project. This included a Historic District Evaluation, archaeological surveys, traffic, water supply, arborist services, and all other CEQA-required topics. ESA is also served in an Executive Consultant role to the County, to advise on other potential future projects at the RLA Campus.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
The Street Where They Lived
Lucille Ball handed out candy on Halloween at No. 1000, Jimmy Stewart grew sweet corn at No. 918, and at No. 1019 Rosemary Clooney and José Ferrer’s kids sold lemonade to tourists. With the Ira Gershwins, Jack Bennys, and Oscar Levants, they made Roxbury Drive the starriest street in Beverly Hills—and a true American neighborhood.

BY TODD PURDUM | APRIL 1999
  
ne ordinary evening when the world was still young, the telephone rang at 1000 North Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills, just as the family who lived there was sitting down to dinner. It was the next-door neighbor, wondering if the family was home, and asking the man of the house to leave the back door open.

A few minutes later, the unmistakable creaky sounds of America’s most famous bad violinist came floating through the big white Colonial house, and Jack Benny strolled into the dining room in his trademark Gypsy scarf. The hostess, a redhead by the name of Lucille Ball, collapsed in laughter, and her husband, Gary Morton, offered the perennial 39-year-old a tip.

“Which he took, of course—totally straight-faced,” Ball’s daughter, Lucie Arnaz, recalls, laughing all over again at the retelling, nearly 40 years later. “And he runs out the front door, because he knows just how long he has before the next tour bus to get home. And the next thing we hear is this voice yelling, ‘Mary … oh, Maaaaaaaary,’ because he’s locked out. And the next bus comes up, and imagine what those people must have thought: Jack Benny locked out of his own house with his Gypsy violin.” Subscribe

It sounds like an episode of I Love Lucy or The Jack Benny Show, and it could have been. But it was just a regular real-life moment in the days when Beverly Hills still seemed more like Bedford Falls, and the twoblock stretch of Roxbury Drive north of Sunset Boulevard was perhaps the starriest street in that small town. Ball and Benny were only the beginning of the gang that, at one time or another from the mid-30s through the 90s, lived the highest version of the California dream in this stately neighborhood, where the streets have the names of old English towns.

Watch Now: 'The Batman' Fan Theories with Rob Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano & Jeffrey Wright
Just across Lexington Road from Lucy, on the same side of the street, the Jimmy Stewarts lived at No. 918, and across from them, on the west side of Roxbury, lived the Oscar Levants. Up from them were José Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney, who lived next to Ira and Leonore “Lee” Gershwin, who lived next to Agnes Moorehead, who played Stewart’s mother in The Stratton Story. She was just down the way from Thomas Mitchell, who played Stewart’s befuddled Uncle Billy in It’s a Wonderful Life. Eddie Cantor, Jack Haley, Hedy Lamarr, and Polly Bergen all lived on Roxbury, and so did Pandro Berman, the producer of the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals at RKO. Diane Keaton, Peter Falk, and Clooney live there still.

It’s almost impossible to scratch the surface of Hollywood history without revealing a ribbon of Roxbury underneath. It’s the street where Russ Columbo, the 30s crooner who was Bing Crosby’s only rival, was accidentally shot with an antique dueling pistol, in the house where George Gershwin wrote “Love Is Here to Stay”—the same house where George Clooney began his career as a gofer and driver for his aunt 3 ARTICLES LEFT Subscribe Sign In

Rosemary. (Rosemary says that in the 50s, when she used to record radio shows with Crosby in the house, he never wanted to set foot in the den, where Columbo had been shot.) It’s the street where Citizen Kane’s mother and Cyrano de Bergerac lived on either side of the man who wrote “The Man That Got Away,” whose goddaughter, Liza Minnelli, named for another of his lyrics, celebrated her earliest birthdays in his elegant backyard. It’s the street where James Stewart grew sweet corn and tomatoes for the neighbors and walked the golden retrievers named for his twin daughters, Kelly and Judy.
“We had these Chinese people for our help,” Lucie Arnaz recalls, “and one day Mr. Stewart came by with fresh corn and cabbages at the back door. And he got the cook yelling, ‘She no home, she no home! No veg-e-table! We got veg-e-table man, come all the time!’ and she slammed the door in his face and wouldn’t take his present, and he had to go home and call and say, ‘W-w-w-aaaaaal, L-l-l-ucy … ’” rt often imitated life. The Stewarts repeatedly played themselves on Benny’s television show.

Benny and Ball appeared as guests of each other’s, Ferrer and Cantor as guests of Levant’s.

Benny began his 1951 television season with a tour bus driving through Beverly Hills. As the announcer calls out the stars’ homes, the camera cuts to scenes of the stars themselves, until finally, 30 seconds before the show ends, the driver announces Benny’s home and Benny himself pipes up from the back, “Driver, I get off here.” In one 1955 episode of I Love Lucy, Lucy and Ethel bound off a tour bus and head toward what is supposed to be Richard Widmark’s house for the episode in which Lucy winds up in a bearskin rug, but the second-unit shot is of Ball’s own house. “When I first visited Los Angeles before moving here, and took the obligatory movie-stars tour, I was struck by the fact that so many of the celebrities they mentioned were deceased,” says Michael Feinstein, the pianist and cabaret singer, who arrived from Columbus, Ohio, in 1976 as a piano salesman but soon found himself working as Ira Gershwin’s musical secretary. “And I realized that those tours really traded on nostalgia and memory, because that sort of glamour was long gone. Except, as it turned out, on Roxbury Drive, because such a collection of celebrities still lived there.” “It was an amazing two blocks,” says Joan Benny, who grew up in the brick Georgian house that her parents built in 1937, complete with a mosaic octopus in the swimming pool, and who still dreams about “every inch of it. Jack Haley Jr. used to push me out of my carriage. He was a little brat. But then, so was I.”
Some of the most famous faces in show business lived side by side on Roxbury—without fear—amid the constant rumble of groaning buses filled with tourists, who called to them and rang their doorbells. The Bennys kept 8-by-10 glossies in a drawer of the hall table, “and if my father happened to be in the vicinity, he’d answer the door,” Joan Benny recalls. Kelly Stewart Harcourt remembers that to the end of her life her mother, Gloria, referred to the ritzy shopping area of Rodeo Drive just blocks away as “the village.” 3 ARTICLES LEFT Subscribe Sign In

ow friendly people were,” Benny says, “and how open everything was.” People left their doors unlocked, and the worst worry was being stopped, as Clooney and Ferrer once were, for violating the Beverly Hills curfew by walking home from a party at the Bennys’ without ID. Lucy, dressed in full witch regalia with blacked-out teeth, handed out candy at her front door on Halloween, with a Desilu studio guard standing by, and Lee Gershwin made a daily pilgrimage to Nate ’n’ Al’s delicatessen in her Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Once, late in life, Mrs. G., as she was known to the Beverly Hills police, forgot where she’d parked, and a patrolman squired her around till she found the car.
“It was a rather small area, in which you lived very close to all of your friends,” says Fred DeCordova, who was a producer of Benny’s show and later of Johnny Carson’s, and who at 88 is still a special consultant to The Tonight Show. “I know there are great stars and all of that today, but in those days it was a much more tightly knit community.”
“It was an absolutely great time,” says the composer David Raksin, 86, who came to Hollywood in 1935 to help Charlie Chaplin write the score for Modern Times, and who knew the Gershwins and Levants. “There was an aliveness which was wonderful. There was not the situation one finds now, where you never see your colleagues unless there’s a board meeting.”
Today, many of the biggest stars live in gated enclaves or on private streets without sidewalks in Pacific Palisades, with security cameras and bodyguards and phalanxes of functionaries to fend off stray fans and stalkers.
“You know, they’re all, like, living in Attica,” says the screenwriter Leonard Gershe, 76, who regularly had Christmas dinner at the Stewarts’, was a pallbearer at Benny’s funeral, and played poker at the Gershwins’ with Angie Dickinson and director Richard Brooks. “I mean, Jimmy and Gloria, they never had a problem.

People did come to their door, but it was all very friendly. I don’t think, well, Leonardo DiCaprio is going to get away with that. It doesn’t exist anymore.”
f the street has a psychic center, it is the big Spanish-style pile at No. 1019, and the warmhearted woman who lives there is the neighborhood’s emotional guardian and oral historian. Rosemary Clooney moved into the house in 1953, just after her marriage to José Ferrer, and through two divorces from him, drug dependence, and a 1968 nervous breakdown, it has been her anchor. Today she lives there with Dante DiPaolo, a former Hollywood hoofer whom she married in 1997 after 24 years as his “roommate,” and the sprawling five-bedroom house still rings with visits from her five children with Ferrer, and their children.
“I never expected to live in a house like this,” says Clooney, who grew up in Kentucky and started out as a band singer with Tony Pastor, and whose sunken living room is filled with affectionately autographed pictures from friends such as John F. Kennedy and Dean Martin. “This was the first house I ever had. I’d lived with relatives and in apartments.”

No. 1019 is central to Roxbury lore because it’s the place that George and Ira Gershwin rented when they came to Hollywood in 1936 to write the score for Shall We Dance?, with Astaire and Rogers. “They All Laughed,” “They Can’t Take That Away from Me,” “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off,” “Nice Work if You Can Get It,” and “Love Walked In” all came to life in that sunken living room, as did the last song George wrote before his death from a brain tumor in 1937, “Love Is Here to Stay.” For the urban-bred Tin Pan Alley tunesmiths of the era—from the Gershwins to Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, and Harold Arlen, who lived nearby—the land of lemon trees and swimming pools was an unexpected paradise, and to this day nightblooming jasmine planted for the Gershwins at 1019 by Fanny Brice still thrives. “It was like Dorothy landing in Munchkinland,” says Ernie Harburg, the son of Arlen’s Wizard of Oz writing partner E. Y. “Yip” Harburg, who came from Brooklyn to Beverly Hills as a child in the mid-30s to visit his father. “Ira had a tennis court and swimming pool, and we used to go over there, and Yip and Ira and Harold and George all used to work at night. During the day, they would play golf or go to the beach, and then at night they would sit down and get serious. Living in that environment, you see, and playing and partying, helped create that kind of incredible collaborative process. They played the scores that they wrote for each other, and you couldn’t come up with crappy stuff, because they’d throw you out. It was competitive, but it was also incredibly cooperative at the same time.” s it happened, the woman who owned the house next door, No. 1021, was an elderly invalid who would lie awake at night and take pleasure in hearing George picking out tunes. After George’s death, Ira was disconsolate and reluctant to leave the neighborhood, so the woman sold him her house for $25,500, and he lived there until the end of his life.

For Clooney, an acknowledged master of the American popular song, the two houses are a living link with her life’s work. “You know what I feel an architectural connection with?” she asks over cocktails in her cozy den. “‘A Foggy Day,’ because I once played a tape of it that I’d done on a television show for Ira, and he said he was working in the living room one night, and their piano was in the same place where mine is now, and George came bounding in from a dinner party that he’d left early, dropped his coat, and said, ‘Ira! It can’t be “a foggy day in London.” It’s gotta be “a foggy day in London town!” ’ And now that’s with me every time I sing that song: he thought of it in the middle of a dinner party and didn’t even stay to finish the dinner.”
When the lights were on in the front of 1021, it was the sign that the Ferrers and a handful of other neighbors and friends were free to drop in for a drink or a game of poker with Ira and Lee, sometimes with Judy Garland singing and, later, Angie Dickinson acting as bartender. “And you know, my God, just to have her walk around was a pretty good idea,” Clooney says. “I walked in there once in my first maternity clothes. I was really happy—you know, ‘La, la, la, la, I’m pregnant,’” Clooney continues. “And Humphrey Bogart was there, and he said, ‘Oh, look at Miss Clowney.

She’s pregnant. She’s got her clothes on.’ And so he said, ‘Look, I’ve never won a bet with a pregnant woman in my life, so what kind of kid do you want, a boy or a girl?’ I said, ‘I’d like to have a boy,’ and he said, ‘All right, I bet you have a girl.’ So the first flowers that I got were from Bogie, and he said, ‘O.K., you 3 ARTICLES LEFT Subscribe Sign In

win. Love, Bogie.’ And then came the letter with the check: ‘Dear Miguel, Your parents are rich. They don’t need the 50 bucks. Put it in the bank and let it stay there until you need it. Bogart.’” here was remarkably little competitiveness, and Clooney recalls no one comparing grosses or percentage deals. But there were a few neighborly tensions. Agnes Moorehead once infuriated Ira Gershwin by proposing to cut down the eucalyptus trees that abutted his yard, and Lee Gershwin complained about the bare lightbulb on the Ferrer family’s garage. Clooney’s daughter Monsita Botwick recalls how Lee would “send the cops over, saying, ‘The music’s too loud. Turn it down.’ Compliments of Mrs. Gershwin. Thanks so much!”
“She used to yell at your father because he played tennis before he went to work,” Clooney tells her. “He had to be on the set at 7:30, so he’d be hitting the tennis ball as soon as it would be daylight, and she’d say, ‘I’m tired of that plup, plup, plup.’ And I’d say, ‘Well, I don’t know what you can do about that.’” Ira Gershwin’s love for loud music was as great as his wife’s loathing of it. When Clooney’s daughter-inlaw Debbie Boone came back from Japan with one of the first Walkmans, Clooney gave it to Michael Feinstein to give to Ira, “so he could crank it in his ears, you know. And he said, ‘This is absolutely wonderful!’ And he called his broker and bought Sony stock!” he Gershwins were indirectly responsible for the presence of the street’s celebrated misanthrope, Oscar Levant, the pianist, composer, and manic-depressive wit. As a young composer in the 30s, Levant idolized George Gershwin, and he would often come to visit from his quarters on the less flossy south end of Roxbury Drive. In the late 1940s, when he finally settled in Hollywood for good, Levant bought the house at No. 905, just a block away from 1019. For the rest of his life, though, when visiting Ira at 1021, he would drive the long way around Lexington Road and Benedict Canyon rather than pass the scene of George’s final illness. “He clung on to so many phobias that as time progressed he became worse and worse, until his brain was so cluttered with fears and things to avoid that he just couldn’t function,” says Feinstein, who met the Gershwins because he had helped Levant’s widow, June, catalogue his records. “He would not drive past a place that gave him a bad memory, so when he drove around town he would always make you turn here and turn there. It took him forever to get anywhere.”
Levant’s youngest daughter, Amanda Carmel, recalled recently discussing her childhood with a neighborhood friend, who fondly remembered meeting Liza Minnelli and Fred Astaire at Levant-family parties. “And I said, ‘But it was so crazy and chaotic,’” Carmel said. “And she said, ‘We never thought of you guys as crazy.’”
Though Levant wrote the haunting melody for “Blame It on My Youth,” in 1934, and became one of the leading interpreters of Gershwin’s piano works, he was overcome with grief and survivor guilt after George’s death. He stopped composing and, eventually, even playing. Once, David Raksin dropped by to play part of his new dramatic score for Force of Evil, only to be greeted with a farrago of invective and 3 ARTICLES LEFT Subscribe Sign In

abuse. Raksin recalls, “That night he called and said, ‘I don’t apologize, but I’m apologizing tonight. You made me think of what I should have been doing with my life.’” A legendary wit (he once said he “knew Doris Day before she became a virgin”) who essentially played himself in such movies as The Band Wagon and An American in Paris, Levant, who was addicted to an arsenal of prescription drugs and subject to violent outbursts, eventually became so desperate and depressed that he’d pay a doctor to shoot him up with phenobarbital or Demerol in a car parked on Roxbury Drive in the middle of the night. “He drank 40 cups of coffee a day, smoked—I don’t know—four or five packs of cigarettes a day, and he was always trying to kill June,” recalled the late Marcella Rabwin, who had lived on Roxbury and who, as David O. Selznick’s executive assistant and the wife of a prominent doctor, had been one of the doyennes of Beverly Hills civic life. “But he really depended on her.” n 1949, Jimmy Stewart ended his long run as one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors and married Gloria Hatrick McLean, an elegant onetime model who was divorced from the socialite Edward McLean Jr., whose mother, Evelyn Walsh McLean, owned the Hope diamond. Stewart, who majored in architecture at Princeton before being drawn by the theatrical lure of the school’s Triangle Club, had wanted to design a home in Pacific Palisades, but Gloria decided that such a hilly neighborhood was no place to raise children, and by then she already had two sons from her first marriage. So the newlyweds bought a big Tudor-style house at 918 North Roxbury, which had been built by the director King Vidor and which Stewart described as “belonging to a style of Mediterranean Ugly.” The Stewarts made the big house into a comfortable home, and soon twin daughters arrived. From the beginning, Gloria Stewart was determined to raise her children as far as possible from the head-turning customs of Hollywood. The girls had a French-speaking governess and spent a year at school in Switzerland, while the boys boarded at Black Fox, a military academy in Los Angeles. Summers were spent on family ranches—first near Elko, Nevada, then in the Santa Ynez Valley north of Santa Barbara— and later on African safaris.
“I never had the feeling growing up that this was a really wow, super-duper place to live,” says Kelly Stewart Harcourt, who went on to study gorillas with Dian Fossey and is now a professor of anthropology at the University of California at Davis. “It was just our home. I remember once reading an article somewhere, and our house was described as a mansion, and it struck me as ridiculous.” One day Stewart came home from work early to find a sight-seeing bus stopped in front of the house. The young twins were in their double stroller, and their nurse was “giving the spiel” to the tourists for money, Harcourt recalls.
“Every so often, my sister and I would be walking by, and we would answer the door instead of the housekeeper,” Harcourt continues. “And usually it would be ‘Mr. Stewart is resting,’ or ‘Mr. Stewart is away.’ But other times—and this happened very rarely—people were just, you know, they’d come all the way from Iowa and they were so sweet and seemed so innocent, and Judy and I would take the piece of 3 ARTICLES LEFT Subscribe Sign In

paper and get Dad and just beg him to sign it. And if he was having a nap, I must admit, and you probably shouldn’t write this down, a couple of times I forged his signature.” he Ferrer children were more frankly mercenary, running a lemonade stand and retailing Clooney’s head shots to the tourist trade. “My son Gabri used to take my pictures, that I paid like, maybe, 35 cents apiece for, and he’d sell them for a dime. I’m paying more than he’s selling them for! And he’d steal them from the house and take them to my daughter Maria, who had a little seat behind a bush somewhere, and she had my signature down perfectly. They cleaned up.” Desi Arnaz Jr. also had a lemonade stand, but added an even more enterprising twist after his family, tired of the trafficky commute to the studio from their ranch in Chatsworth, in the San Fernando Valley, moved to Roxbury in 1955. “Desi used to take advantage of the fact that those movie-star maps are not very accurate,” Lucie Arnaz recalls. “He must have been 10 or 11 at the time, and he would lean in the car to hand the lemonade and cookies, and he’d say, ‘Oh, I see you’ve got the map. A lot of those people have moved. I can show you who does live here.’ And he’d charge a buck and get into the car with these people and tell them a bunch of stuff that was completely made up. My mother never knew till years later.” The tourists could be so pesky that the family who lived at No. 1000 before the Arnazes felt compelled to put up a big sign, with an arrow pointing to No. 1002: jack benny does not live here. he lives there. manda Levant Carmel remembers making faces and throwing leaves at the tour buses, which were unrelenting—“every five minutes in the summer, stopping at whatever was owned by somebody, used to be owned by somebody, used to be owned by somebody who knew somebody,” according to Lucie Arnaz—and the announcers’ drone was inescapable. Clooney had just come back from the hospital with her son Gabriel, who was born prematurely; she was resting with the upstairs windows open when she heard a person on a loudspeaker saying, “‘Yes, Rosemary’s home from the hospital and she’s fine, but the baby—we don’t really know yet. It was four pounds at birth. He’s a little boy, but he’s still in the hospital at St. John’s, and Joe and Rosemary go down and see him.’ The story of my life’s going by on a loudspeaker and I’m thinking, Shut up!” Even Albert Hoxie, 86, a retired U.C.L.A. history professor who has lived in the house just south of Stewart’s since 1929, had to contend with the sound of announcers declaring when they reached his front yard, “And no one lives there!”
The city of Beverly Hills banned big tour buses in favor of minivans in 1984, but not before one especially presumptuous group of tourists sat down and spread out their lunch on the Stewart lawn. “They wouldn’t do this to their next-door neighbors at home,” Clooney says, “but they put down a cloth and a basket and had a picnic. And Jimmy just turned on the sprinklers.” In part to create a refuge from such shenanigans, in the late 60s Stewart bought the corner house next to his, just across from Ball’s, tore it down, and built a brick-walled garden, where he grew vegetables.

buffet lawn party at the Stewarts’ shortly after it was finished, Leonard Gershe found Ball’s place card next to his at the table, but no sign of the star during cocktails or the beginning of dinner. “She finally arrived, gave kind of a cursory greeting to everybody, and then sat down next to me and kissed me, and I said, ‘Why are you so late? You live right across the street.’ She said, ‘I wasn’t going to come at all. I’m so furious with the Stewarts!’ And I said, ‘Why?’ And she said, ‘When they tore that house down next door, all the rats came running over to my house, and I’ve been with exterminators for three weeks!’ She finally relaxed, and they never even knew, but it cracked me up.” n 1965, Jack Benny’s wife, Mary Livingstone, decided to sell the Roxbury house, decamping first to a penthouse apartment in Century City and later to the house in Holmby Hills where Benny died in 1974. In Sunday Nights at Seven, her 1990 memoir, Joan Benny recalled that her father missed the house and the old friends terribly, and for the rest of his life, “in a sweet, kind of melancholy way,” would ask Mary, “Doll, why did we have to sell that house?” Joan Benny herself had hoped to buy it, but couldn’t afford to, and her parents, despite their initial promise to help her with a second mortgage so that she could, ultimately decided against it because Livingstone had spent so much on decorating the new penthouse. Joan got the word from her father’s lawyer. “For years it was something I couldn’t think about or talk about,” Benny wrote. “It would just make me cry. For a very long time I couldn’t even drive by the house. I would go out of my way, rather than pass 1002 North Roxbury. Sometimes when I glance at a digital clock or wristwatch and it says 10:02, I feel it— not a pang, not even a twinge anymore, but it’s there.” (The house, for which Benny paid $250,000 in 1937, was recently put on the market for $7.5 million.) Levant descended deeper into depression and addiction, emerging most famously for a party that Walter and Carol Matthau held in honor of Charlie Chaplin when he won his special Academy Award in the spring of 1972. Candice Bergen, then moonlighting as a journalist and photographer, began a profile of him for Esquire. In their interview, Levant spewed epigrams, fretted when she did not take notes at all times, and finally sat down at the piano and began playing and softly singing the third verse of the Gershwins’ “But Not for Me,” which goes: “It all began so well / But what an end / This is the time a fell- / Er needs a friend.”
“I don’t think there’s ever been anything to equal it,” Bergen recalls of that moment in a life full of rich moments. “It was him in his pajamas and slippers, and he was really the most neurasthenic-looking man I’d ever seen. His ankles were a road map of veins, and he was so fiercely urban, you could tell it was a real principle of his never to expose himself to the daylight hours. He really had almost a pale-blue tinge.” A few days later, when Bergen arrived for a follow-up interview on August 15, she learned that he had just died.

Ira Gershwin, immersed in memories of his late brother, worked less and less, and grew prematurely frail.

His last public outing was for the wedding of Angie Dickinson and Burt Bachrach in the 1960s, and 3 ARTICLES LEFT Subscribe Sign In

eventually even his walks around the neighborhood stopped completely. He did draw pleasure from his work with the young Feinstein, who helped him organize decades of music and memorabilia, much of which is now preserved in the Library of Congress, and he continued to receive a handful of visitors, such as Angie Dickinson, who took him exquisite silk flowers, because he kept the drapes in his bedroom closed and real plants could not live there.

Finally, one morning in 1983, Clooney saw an ambulance in Gershwin’s driveway and later called Feinstein to tell him the worst. Fred Astaire, arriving to pay his respects, wandered into Clooney’s foyer by mistake, remembering his visits to 1019 a half-century earlier. Lee Gershwin ordered Feinstein upstairs to kiss the corpse, and then made him play the slow movement of George’s Piano Concerto in F as the undertakers carried Ira’s body out. Feinstein recalls, “As they were going through the living room, I turned my head, and Lee said, ‘Don’t look!’ So I turned my head back to the piano and finished playing.

And that was the end of the golden days at what Ira always called the Gershwin plantation.” fter years of feuding over Desi’s drinking and philandering, Ball and Arnaz divorced in 1960, and Clooney and Ferrer split up for good in 1964. “We’d laugh about our troubles until it got not so happy for both of us, you know,” Clooney says. “I said to little Lucie once, ‘There wasn’t a chance on this block.’ We had a Cuban on one end and a Puerto Rican on the other, for God’s sake. But Desi was funny, and fine, you know, and Lucy really respected the way he handled the business part of it.” Ball married Gary Morton, a former nightclub comic, and carried on with two other successful “Lucy” series. But her retirement years were restless and lonely, and she was deeply hurt by the failure of a 1986 comeback attempt, Life with Lucy, which was canceled after eight episodes. She died in 1989, and a few years later the house’s new owners, tired of nosy tourists, rebuilt the façade of the house with a new Italianate stucco overlay so as to make it almost unrecognizable.

Meantime, to Clooney’s chagrin, house after house on the street was remodeled or demolished in favor of bigger, ritzier mansions. Stewart’s double lot, with its towering pine trees and graceful silver birches, remained an island of calm as he aged into America’s most beloved movie hero, recipient of countless awards and tributes. But he, too, grew increasingly frail, and after Gloria’s death from cancer in 1994, he rarely left his house. He died at home on July 2, 1997, and Kelly Stewart Harcourt, borrowing a line from It’s a Wonderful Life, eulogized him as “the richest man in town.” he following spring, Stewart’s children, none of whom lives in L.A. any longer, sold the house for $5.6 million to Steven Wallace, the founder of Pacific Brokerage Services, an on-line discount brokerage, who pronounced it “just a dump” and tore it down last summer to build what he calls “kind of an Italian villa—it’ll look old, but be new.”
Kelly Stewart Harcourt found herself unable to cut the cord to Beverly Hills entirely. She took a small apartment in an old courtyard building near the Beverly Wilshire hotel to use on visits, installing some of her parents’ leftover furniture, including the bar, complete with Princeton highball glasses. 3 ARTICLES LEFT Subscribe Sign In

“For a while, I thought I’d rather have it torn down than drive past it and have somebody else in it,” she says. “That actually isn’t true. Once it was down, I realized I wished it were still there, just so I could drive by and see it, because it was so much a part of that street. I have a best friend in Mandeville Canyon, and when I’m coming back at night from visiting her I always turn left on Roxbury by mistake, still. “I miss it. I remember, right before it was completely torn down, I went past and it was just ground zero, practically. I mean, all dirt, and everything had been ripped up, and the only thing left was the hallway— the front door and the walls of the hallway, still with their wallpaper. So in the midst of all this dust and destruction there was this familiar wallpaper, this little patch in what looked like a battlefield, this poignant image I just can’t get rid of.”

In a nod to the nearby Polo Lounge restaurant in the Beverly Hills Hotel, a black-and-white Perennials stripe was used liberally in the loggia. A custom cocktail table by Murray’s Iron Works complements clean-lined furnishings by McKinnon and Harris, purchased at Janus et Cie. The light fixtures are from Charles Edwards in London. Windows and doors throughout the home are from Old English Milling in Valencia.

his house evokes the glamour of Old Hollywood,” says David Bohnett of the Beverly Hills residence he shares with his partner, Tom Gregory. But, when the couple purchased the1930s Paul Williams-style structure, it hadn’t quite reached its full star-studded potential. “The previous owner had done a major remodel about 20 years ago,” says philanthropist and technology entrepreneur Bohnett.
“So it was in need of a makeover.” And looking to the cinematic pedigree of the storied neighborhood—screen legends such as Lucille Ball and Jimmy Stewart once called it home—Bohnett knew what direction to take. “I wanted people to walk in the house and have the sense that Joan Crawford was going to come down the stairs and say, ‘Let’s have a cocktail!’”

HOUSE DETAILS
To carry out that glamorous vision, Bohnett called on his longtime friend and frequent collaborator, architect Mark Rios, principal of the interdisciplinary firm Rios Clementi Hale Studios in Los Angeles. “It was a beautifully proportioned, elegant house,” says Rios, whose firm handled the architecture, interiors and landscaping, “but none of the details were particularly spectacular. David wanted to make it unique.” Beginning with the architecture, Rios worked with associates Leslie Barrett and Casey Nagel to make subtle but important changes.

The kitchen was modernized, baths and powder rooms rebuilt, and a large terrace was added along the second-floor master bedroom. “The house was visually in good condition,” says LA-based general contractor George Peper, president of Fort Hill Construction, “but that view was a bit misleading.” Peper notes that, while the design changes were made, the house was also brought up to current structural standards.

As the architecture was put in order, so were its surroundings. With firm colleague John Fishback, Rios created grounds that felt “as large and stately as possible” by choosing “very few plant types and repeating them over and over.” In the back yard, the two encircled an existing pond and pool with large-leaf plantings to contrast with the expansive lawns, and they lowered boxwood hedges by several feet to let in light and offer a feeling of openness. “Our goal for the landscape was to simplify it and make it feel more grand,” says Rios.

While the structure and landscaping were kept classic and tailored, Rios, along with design associate Daniel Torres, set out to make an impact with the interiors. “We wanted to take appropriate risks,” says Rios. “So that, when you walk in, you’re bowled over by some of the moves.” To start, they selected colors and patterns that become more intense as one progresses through the house.

The liv- ing room, with its linen-covered walls and subdued gold and cream tones, “engages you in the conversation,” says Rios. A sectional sofa in the family room was upholstered with a deep rust-colored fabric, while chocolate-hued leather walls build drama in the dining room. The kitchen and adjoining TV room are energized with lemon-patterned wallpaper, and the palette reaches a crescendo in the game room, where existing paneling was lacquered a rich tomato-soup red. “We tried to exaggerate the experience of each room,” says Rios.

Though the backdrops of the rooms shift, the approach to the furnishings was kept consistent. “It was important to me that the furniture have an eclectic mix of styles,” says Bohnett. “I didn’t want it to feel gimmicky.” Rios agreed and also made a point to find pieces that would work with the house’s traditional sensibility while referencing the couple’s affinity for modernism. “I think filling the house with traditional furniture would have been expected,” says Rios, who hunted down mid-century finds by designers such as Piero Fornasetti, Giò Ponti and Charles Hollis Jones. “The great thing about these pieces is that they have classic roots and proportions but are made in a sculptural and modern way.” That unexpected quality is part of the home’s success. “It has a quiet approach,” says Rios, “but, as you walk inside, it surprises you. It’s like a story; as you move through, you get to know the characters, and they become a little more eccentric.

The description on the 146 is translated as follows:

The architect Mark Rios helped the Beverly Hills homeowner go back to 1960’s. Text by Dominica Bradbarry, Photography by Richard Powers.

The article translation is below. There was a bit of glare on the top potion of the article which I couldn’t read so I left blanks:

AD Interiors – Decorator Yekaterina Koto…shina decided that gray is most often suitable for the walls of her apartment in the center of Moscow. The English architect Quinlan Terry built a mansion in London, which cannot be distinguished from the true buildings of the XVIII century. Entrepreneur David Bonett and his architect Mark Rios turned the Beverly Hills house into a 1960’s style reserve. A Franco-American family with two children settled in a restored castle of the twenty-first century in France. Architect Olga Freiman showed AD her apartment in Moscow, the interior of which was built up for twelve years.

American architect Stephen Kieran decided to achieve harmony with nature, for which he built an adult version of a children's tree house in Maryland.

Please see below:

There are many errors in the grammar here and misspelled words, but the language above translates to:

A wood-lined fireplace is the first thing that catches the eye. They did not install/stand-up a chimney.

The text above translates to:

Avolkosku
Usually, builders use plywood for draft work. Archduke Claudt believes that this is a universal finishing material. At first he used it in the city, and now he used it in the Moscow region..(incomplete sentence/statement).

The text above uses words that are repeated and misspelled… and it seems that it’s the same language as the first photo with the entrance with the white façade:

A wood-lined fireplace is the first thing that catches the eye. They did not install/stand-up a chimney.

Grammatical errors in this one but seems like they mean:
tomok sculpture by Peter Claudt and one of the founders of the Erman architectural bureau….

This one above seems to be poorly worded and doesn’t make sense. It could be another language besides Russian….

The article below is out of context and the beginning part is missing. - The article is also incomplete…
I designed the house. "The cottage turned out to be modest. The area is only 180 square meters, the facade is sheathed with pine boards. "These are sane people, they understand that there is no need to build mansions in the country," says the author of the project. And he adds that the technical task drawn up by the customers fit on a tiny piece of paper - just a list of necessary requirements. Clients did not interfere with style issues. "I love Frank Lloyd Wright very much, but the pseudo-rightist that everyone is building in the Moscow region has already filled his teeth," Oleg says. "That's why I tried not to copy anything, but to make something of my own - a simpler and more suburban look." As a result, the Wright here is only reminded of the wide railings of the balconies, emphasizing the horizontal of the building. The color scheme in the house is restrained, black and white. "I like bright colors only in the form of small inclusions," Oleg admits. - And then I wanted to recreate the atmosphere of the old Soviet summer houses. Of course, not from the point of view of architecture. But the feeling of colorlessness was also present there." By the way, the atmosphere is not architecture or even a color solution, but a way of life that dictates the interior. In this sense, the house is really old-fashioned. Here, for example, it is not customary to spend time in the kitchen according to a stagnant custom that has passed into a new life. The cooking area is taken out into a walk-through room, where there is nowhere to sit down. And the architect deliberately arranged the dining room at the other end of the house. "I love it when people talk while sitting at the table. But kitchen gatherings are a bad tradition," Oleg believes. The wall against which the dining table stands is covered with tinted oak panels. It seems to be simple, but it is quite time-consuming. There are a lot of custom-made items in the house in general: a fireplace portal, doors, built-in wardrobes. "Handmade in Russia is more expensive than in Europe. But you save on delivery," says Klodt. - And as a result, you get a piece thing for the same money." But saving is saving, and you can't call this interior a penny. Even if you take all the designer furniture out of the house, the feeling of comfort and attention to detail will still remain here. And that in itself is worth a lot. Oleg admits. - And then…
That’s where the article cuts off.
