Significance: Theme Architecture - Modernism; Pre-WWII Commercial Development, 1904-1944 Area Glendale Period of Significance: 1935 Property Type: Commercial Applicable Criteria: A; C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) In addition to being a contributor to the potential Kenneth Village Commercial Historic District, the property at 1435 W Kenneth Road appears individually eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is significant for conveying patterns of early commercial development in this part of Glendale, reflecting the neighborhood scale of business districts during this time period. Constructed in 1935, the property is one of relatively few extant commercial buildings from this formative period of neighborhood growth.

The property also appears eligible as an excellent example of Streamline Moderne architecture as applied to a commercial auto-related service station.

The property exhibits a high quality of design and distinctive characteristics that are associated with the style as expressed by its form, massing, composition, and architectural details.

Characterized by smooth surfaces, curved corners, and sweeping horizontal lines, Streamline Moderne is considered to be the first thoroughly Modern architectural style to achieve wide acceptance among the American public. Inspired by the industrial designs of the period, the style was popular throughout the United States in the late 1930s.

Constructed in 1925, the property is one of relatively few extant commercial buildings from this formative period of neighborhood growth.

The N. Adams St.-E. Glenoaks Blvd.-N. Verdugo Rd. Multi-Family Residential Historic District is located in the northeastern portion of the study area. The irregularly shaped district occupies flat terrain and features a curved and diagonal street pattern. It encompasses two east-west blocks along E. Glenoaks Boulevard, extending from properties fronting N. Verdugo Road on the east to properties on both sides of N. Adams St. on the west. (see continuation sheet) *D4. Boundary Description:

The N. Adams St.-E. Glenoaks Blvd.-N. Verdugo Rd. Multi-Family Residential Historic District includes multi-family residential parcels on the south side of E. Glenoaks Blvd., the west side of N. Verdugo Road, and both sides of N. Adams Street. *D5. Boundary Justification:

The N. Adams St.-E. Glenoaks Blvd.-N. Verdugo Rd. Multi-Family Residential Historic District is a cohesive concentration of intact 1940s multi-family residential development in northeast Glendale. The district generally occupies the multi-family residential portion of Tract No. 12547, a subdivision developed by Gregg’s Artistic Homes during World War II. The tract was originally planned with distinct single-family and multi-family residential areas. Although many of the tract’s single-family homes have been altered, the multi-family residences remain largely intact. The district generally corresponds to the tract’s surviving multi-family residential section south of E. Glenoaks Boulevard. It reflects the increased demand for housing associated with wartime population growth and the expansion of Southern California’s defense industry following U.S. entry into World War II. The district retains its original planning intent and integrity from its period of significance.

D6. Significance:

Theme: Suburban Development through WWII (1910-1944); Post-WW II Multi-Family Residential Development (1945-2000) Area: Glendale, CA Period of Significance: 1941-1948 Applicable Criteria: A, G The N. Adams St.-E. Glenoaks Blvd.-N. Verdugo Rd. Multi-Family Residential Historic District appears eligible for local designation as a City of Glendale Historic District under District Criteria A and G. It is significant as a cohesive concentration of intact 1940s multifamily residential development in northeast Glendale. The district is part of Tract No. 12547, a subdivision developed by Gregg’s Artistic Homes and recorded on July 21, 1941.1 Located just south of the junction of N. Glendale Avenue and N. Verdugo Road, the tract was planned with distinct single- and multi-family residential areas and was developed through 1948. Early advertisements indicated a preference for defense workers, reflecting wartime housing needs and the region’s expanding defense industry even before the U.S. entered the war. The district boundary generally corresponds to the tract’s multi-family component and retains its original planning and development intent. Of its 22 properties, all are contributing, conveying the district’s significance as a rare wartime-era multi-family residential neighborhood in Glendale. (see continuation sheet) *D7. References:

Page 2 of 7 ends

The district is part of Tract No. 12547, subdivided in 1941. The tract contains two residential areas: Verdugo Circle Drive north of E.

Glenoaks Boulevard, developed with Minimal Traditional single-family homes, and lots south of E. Glenoaks Boulevard, developed with Minimal Traditional multi-family residences. The district corresponds to the tract’s more intact multi-family residential section south of E. Glenoaks Boulevard.

The district contains 22 properties, all of which are contributing resources (100%). Contributing properties were constructed between 1941 and 1948.

D6. Significance (continued):

The area that would become Tract No. 12547 was largely undeveloped in 1938, with only limited residential development along both sides of North Adams Street, as shown in a 1938 aerial photograph.2 Following the tract’s subdivision in 1941, the area was redeveloped and organized into two distinct residential zones. The horseshoe-shaped Verdugo Circle Drive, north of E. Glenoaks Boulevard, was developed with Minimal Traditional single-family homes, while the lots south of E. Glenoaks Boulevard were developed with Minimal Traditional multi-family residences of varying sizes, including courtyard apartments, apartment houses, bungalow courts, and duplexes. The tract was fully built out by 1950, as confirmed by the 1950 Sanborn Fire Insurance map.3 Newspaper advertisements from 1942 promoted the tract’s convenient bus access and monthly rents ranging from $38.50 to $52.50. Advertised amenities included spacious living rooms and bedrooms, separate dining rooms, bathrooms with both tubs and showers, gas furnaces, and garages. These advertisements also indicate that tenants or buyers working in defense-related industries were given priority for housing, reflecting wartime efforts to ensure that essential workers in Southern California’s rapidly expanding defense sector had access to nearby housing.4 Gregg’s Artistic Homes was founded in Glendale in 1934 by Kansas-born licensed contractor Alice Lee Gregg Johnson Ingledue (1906–1996), one of California’s early women contractors. Although she lacked formal training and had studied history in college, she entered the building industry after her husband, John Lee Gregg, was bedridden with tuberculosis for more than a year, leaving her as the family’s sole source of income. The firm maintained an office on Lexington Drive in Glendale.5 Following her husband’s recovery, the couple expanded their activities into real estate development and home construction.6 By 1941, Alice had partnered with her husband and brother-in-law, Clarence B. Gregg, as shown on the subdivision map for Tract No. 12547.7 Developed during World War II, the tract may have been among the firm’s last wartime projects. Construction slowed during the war and the company temporarily ceased operations, but it resumed afterward and continued building homes until 1956.

In 1958, the couple’s son, John L. Gregg, reestablished the firm. Additional family members later joined the business, and the Gregg Development Company emerged in the postwar period as its broader land holding and development arm.8 In the early 1980s, the Gregg Development Company subdivided hillside lots above the Oakmont Country Club. Despite initial City opposition, a plan was approved. A later, larger proposal, Oakmont V, was rejected after a decade of community and environmental opposition. In 2003, Gregg’s Artistic Homes sold the land to the City and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy for $25 million, and it became the Verdugo Mountains Open Space Preserve.9

While most of the single-family homes in Tract No. 12547 along Verdugo Circle Drive have been altered, the multi-family residences south of E. Glenoaks Boulevard remain largely intact; this portion of the tract comprises potential N. Adams St./E. Glenoaks Blvd./N.

Verdugo Rd. Multi-Family Residential Historic District. The district continues to function as a multi-family residential neighborhood.

Contributing properties retain their original setbacks, scale and massing, floor plans, Minimal Traditional style, and characterdefining features. The historic district also retains its original tract features, including its street grid, sidewalks, curbs, service alleys, planting strips, and street trees.

D1. Historic Name:

D2. Common Name: N. Brand Blvd. Multi-Family Residential Historic District *D3. Detailed Description:

The N. Brand Blvd. Multi-Family Residential Historic District is located along N. Brand Boulevard in the historic Casa Verdugo area.

The district occupies a mild to steep slope to the south on N. Brand Boulevard. The historic district includes multi-family parcels on both sides of N. Brand Boulevard between Stocker Street on the south and Kenneth Road on the north. The district comprises three linear blocks developed predominantly with multi-family residences dating from the late 1920s through the 1960s. Apartment buildings occupy large rectangular lots, combined from smaller parcels, with detached rear garages accessed via driveways.

Building types include courtyard apartments and two-and-three story apartment houses designed in a variety of styles: Period Revival styles, including the American Colonial Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Mediterranean Revival, Tudor Revival, and French Revival styles; and Minimal Traditional, Regency Revival, Mid-Century Modern, Ranch, and Postmodern styles. District planning features include uniform setbacks, concrete curbs, sidewalks and parkways lined with palm trees along a central boulevard. The district contains contemporary streetlights.

The N. Brand Blvd. Multi-Family Residential Historic District consists of multi-family parcels on both sides of N. Brand Boulevard, extending from the north side of Stocker Street to the south; the multi-family parcels south of Kenneth Road to the north; two parcels on the south side of W. Mountain Street; and one parcel on the north side of W. Mountain Street. Other west/east intersecting streets include Randolph Street and Mountain Street.
*D5. Boundary Justification:

The N. Brand Blvd. Multi-Family Residential Historic District comprises a cohesive concentration of intact multi-family residential properties from the late 1920’s through the late 1960s along N. Brand Boulevard. Surrounding areas of multi-family residential development within single-family residential tracts do not represent the district’s historic theme, nor do they display similar levels of cohesion, architectural consistency, or integrity from the historic period.

D6. Significance: Theme: Pre-World War II Multi-Family Residential Development (1910-1944); Post-World War II Multi-Family Residential Development
Area: Glendale Period of Significance: 1928-1969 Applicable Criteria: A, G The N. Brand Boulevard Multi-Family Residential Historic District appears eligible for local designation as a City of Glendale Historic District under District Criteria A and G. This district is significant as a cohesive concentration of multi-family residential development from the 1920s through the 1960s along N. Brand Boulevard in the historic Casa Verdugo area, reflecting the city’s residential growth in the interwar years and expansion during the post-World War II period. The district retains its original boundary and zoning and reflects an evolving pattern of multi-family development during the period of significance beginning in 1928 representing the first wave of multi-family residential development in the district, through the end of its postwar development in 1969.

Of the historic district’s 32 parcels, 29 of these contribute to its significance (approximately 91%); 3 are non-contributors. (see continuation sheet)

The N. Brand Blvd. Multi-Family Residential Historic District comprises a portion of the 600-acre Glendale Boulevard Tract, platted in 1905 by owners Howard E. Huntington and the Huntington Land and Improvement Company, E.F. Cook, and L.C. Brand.1 The Glendale Boulevard Tract was subdivided following the construction of the Pacific Electric streetcar line. Of the multiple tract subdivisions, the historic district encompasses parts of the Thompson Tract, platted in 1906 by owners William C. and Ada D.

Thompson; The Wyvell’s Casa Verdugo Tract platted in 1906 by owner and Casa Verdugo developer John Wyvell; Tract No. 2238 platted in 1913 by owners Annie M. and Charles F.L. Richter; and finally Tract No. 6429 platted in 1924 by the Pacific Electric Land Company and other business associates for single-family and multi-family development.2 The development of the Glendale Boulevard tract was meant to facilitate the extension of the Glendale streetcar line terminating at Brand Boulevard and Mountain Street at the base of the Verdugo Mountains by the Pacific Electric (PE) Company. In 1904, the Los Angeles Evening Press reported on the widening improvements on Brand Boulevard to 120 feet to accommodate the PE street line in the middle. Box trees and palm trees were planted along the boulevard, and the tract was platted and put on the market by Edward D. Silent & Company.3
During the 1920’s development boom, early multi-family residential development in Casa Verdugo was concentrated along N. Brand Boulevard and nearby streets like Dryden Street, Stocker Street, and Louise Street, surrounding the PE terminus. The historic district saw sporadic growth during its early period of development with only two properties built in 1928 and 1930 – the 14-unit, French Revival apartment complex at 1220 N. Brand Avenue and the apartment at 1230 N. Brand Blvd, respectively.

Development was slightly hindered during the Depression years, with only six properties built in the historic district between 1935 and 1939. In 1939, the federal Homeowners Loan Corporation’s survey of the Casa Verdugo area around Brand Blvd noted that five percent of dwellings were multi-family, in a predominantly single-family home area. “There are comparatively few multi-family dwellings but a distinct tendency to build rental units behind dwellings (on the rear of lots),” the report noted. Additionally, the report noted an influx of lower income groups in the neighborhood. 4 Only two additionally contributing properties were built in the historic district in 1940 and 1943, 1334 N. Brand Blvd and 1310 N. Brand Blvd, respectively.

The district followed a second surge of development in the postwar period. Sanborn Maps from 1950 depict a larger concentration of multi-family development in the district, including the courtyard apartments at 1333 N. Brand; the apartment houses at 101 E.

Randolph, 1306 and 1310 N. Brand; and the apartment houses at 1212 to 1232 N. Brand Blvd, all contributors to the district.

The PE street line service to North Glendale ceased on June 18, 1955. Despite its relatively short lifespan, the PE interurban line had a significant impact on Glendale's development, shaping the city's growth and urban layout. 5 Multi-family residential
development in the historic district rapidly continued with 20 properties constructed between 1948 and 1969. The last contributing resource was constructed in 1969 at 1416 N. Brand. Further tract subdivision took place within the district between 1974 and 2010 to accommodate large condominium developments along N. Brand Boulevard between Stocker Avenue and Kenneth Road; however new development in the district ceased in 1989 with the construction of the First Church of Christ Scientist at 1328 N.

Brand Blvd, a non-contributing resource to the district.

The N. Brand Boulevard Multi-Family Residential Historic District retains a high degree of historic integrity. District contributors are multi-family residential properties constructed during the period of significance that retain sufficient integrity to convey the significance of the district as a whole. Contributing properties are designed in a range of architectural styles: Period Revival styles, including the American Colonial Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Mediterranean Revival, Tudor Revival, and French Revival styles; and Minimal Traditional, Regency Revival, Mid-Century Modern, Ranch, and Postmodern styles. These properties typically retain their original setbacks, scale and massing, plans, style, and character-defining features. In addition to the individual multifamily residential properties, the historic district also retains its original planning features, including its linear street pattern, concrete curbs and sidewalks, and parkways.

D1. Historic Name:

D2. Common Name: N. Glendale Ave. Commercial Historic District *D3. Detailed Description:

The N. Glendale Ave. Commercial Historic District is located in the central portion of Glendale, just north of the 134 (Ventura) Freeway. It is on a diagonal axis along a major north-south thoroughfare, North Glendale Avenue, between Monterey Road and East Glenoaks Boulevard. The district is mid-block and occupies the east side of the street. It is composed of commercial properties with pedestrian access along North Glendale Avenue via a wide concrete sidewalk. There is also vehicular access to the district via street parking, surface parking lots and a rear alley.

The district is exclusively commercial development consisting of a restaurant and retail buildings. Buildings are typically designed in the Commercial Vernacular style with Mid-Century Modern storefronts. One of the buildings is Mid-Century Modern in style. The buildings are set at the sidewalk and one-story in height. They primarily have flat roofs with flat or stepped parapets. The MidCentury Modern building has a butterfly and flat roof. All roofs are clad in rolled asphalt roofing. Exterior walls are clad in brick masonry and/or smooth stucco cladding. Fenestration consists of fixed floor-to-ceiling metal storefronts, some with bulkhead of brick or tile, and metal display cases. The buildings have multiple entrances and are either canted or recessed with awnings and single fully glazed metal doors with transoms. One of the doors is a single wood paneled door.

The N. Glendale Ave. Commercial Historic District consists of six properties, of which five properties are contributors to the historic district (approximately 83%); one (1) is a non-contributor. The non-contributing property to the district has been substantially altered. *D4. Boundary Description:

The N. Glendale Ave. Commercial Historic District consists of commercial properties on the east side of North Glendale Avenue. It is bounded by North Glendale Avenue to the west, the north façade of 812 North Glendale Avenue to the north, an alley to the east, and the south façade of 742 North Glendale Avenue to the south. *D5. Boundary Justification:

The N. Glendale Ave. Commercial Historic District comprises of commercial properties constructed during the post-World War II period. The area was originally part of Tract No. 4658 established in 1925, but it was not built-out until the 1940s and 1950s. While the commercial area is substantially larger than the defined historic district, the buildings outside the district boundary display a lesser degree of integrity from the historic period due to alterations, infill development or later development patterns.

D6. Significance: Theme: Post-World War II Commercial Development (1945-2000) Area: Glendale Period of Significance: 1946-1952 Applicable Criteria: A, G The N. Glendale Ave. Commercial Historic District appears eligible for local designation as a City of Glendale Historic District under District Criteria A and G. This district is significant as a cohesive collection of intact commercial buildings constructed between 1946 and 1952 in the central portion of Glendale, just north of the 134 (Ventura) Freeway. The district conveys patterns of commercial development in this part of Glendale after World War II. Of the historic district’s six properties, five (or approximately 83%) contribute to its significance. Therefore, the district retains sufficient integrity to convey its significance.

This portion of Glendale remained largely undeveloped during the 1920s and early 1930s with only scattered residential development in the surrounding area. It was originally part of Tract No. 4568 subdivided in 1923 but was built out over time.

According to historic aerial photos, a small commercial area was first established in the late 1920s at the corner of N. Glendale Avenue and Monterey Road but is no longer extant.1 In 1936, a neighborhood commercial market known as Oswald’s Market was constructed at 826 N. Glendale Avenue (altered). 2 Additional commercial buildings were constructed at 712 N. Glendale Avenue (altered) in 1937 and 718 N. Glendale Avenue (altered) in 1938. The area was accessed by the Pacific Electric streetcar line. Soon after, commercial development ceased due to World War II. By 1941, the neighborhood market became a Thriftimart & Fitzsimmons and remained the anchor to this area, providing goods to the immediate vicinity including the new defense worker wartime housing development immediately to the east. The middle of the block continued to remain undeveloped, and the southern portion was occupied by several retail stores and offices including a pharmacy, barbershop, doctor’s office, real estate office, café, a small Safeway grocery store and many more.
3 After World War II, the area between Monterey Road and East Glenoaks Boulevard became ripe for commercial development. From 1946 to 1952, the mid-block of N. Glendale Avenue became established as seen on the 1950 Sanborn map. 4 Several retail stores,
offices and restaurants were constructed during that time period including Fish King, a family-owned independent seafood market and eatery, and the longest standing tenant on the block. By 1955, the area was nearly built out and began supporting more automobile access when the streetcar line service ended.5 Automobiles could park on the street or in the surface parking lots provided for the area.

Over time, the area began to change and evolve to serve the modern needs of the community, and as a result several properties located within the commercial area experienced alterations or demolitions to accommodate it. In the 1960s, the area remained largely untouched with only the properties changing tenants. In 1972, three commercial buildings from the 1920s at the northeast corner of N. Glendale Avenue and Monterey Road were demolished for an auto-service station for the growing automobile needs.6 The neighborhood market also changed hands several times from the 1970s to the 1990s before ceasing to exist in 2008 due to the establishment of Ralph’s at 1010 N. Glendale Avenue in 1994 and the new location of Whole Foods at 331 N. Glendale Avenue 2001. In 2008, neighborhood market underwent substantial alterations to become an arcade and laser tag entertainment venue.

Additionally, the longest standing tenant, Fish King, underwent extensive alterations to their building and began to occupy the adjacent building to the north between 2011 and 2014. As a result, the only portion that remained relatively intact is the mid-block of N. Glendale Avenue. It continues to convey its historic association with early postwar commercial development here, and is a rare remaining grouping of commercial properties from this period. 1 Aerial photograph, Flight C-300, Frame K-181, January 1, 1928. 2 Ad for Oswald’s Market, Los Angeles Times, February 25, 1937. 3 1941 Glendale City Director.

The Princes Dr./Imperial Dr. Residential Historic District comprises a cohesive concentration of intact single-family residential properties from the late 1920s to the 1940s in the historic Rossmoyne Village development of Glendale. Residential development to the south and west of the historic district do not display similar levels of cohesion, architectural consistency, or integrity from the historic period. The properties to the east of the historic district are part of the designated Royal Boulevard Historic District.

D6. Significance: Theme: Suburban Development through World War II Area: Glendale Period of Significance: 1926-1941 Applicable Criteria: A, G The Princes Dr./Imperial Dr. Residential Historic District appears eligible for local designation as a City of Glendale Historic District under District Criteria A and G. This district is significant as a cohesive concentration of residential development from 1926 to 1941 in the historic Rossmoyne Village development, reflecting Glendale’s residential growth in the interwar years. The historic district retains its original planned boundary and zoning and reflects an evolving pattern of single-family development during the period of significance beginning in 1926 with the platting of Tract No. 7013 through 1941. Of the historic district’s 23 parcels, 20 of these contribute to its significance (approximately 87%); 2 are non-contributors and 1 is unevaluated because it is not visible from the public right-of-way.

The Princes Dr./Imperial Dr. Historic District comprises a portion of Tract No. 7013 platted in 1926 by the Security Trust and Savings Bank1 as part of the Royal Boulevard Subdivision developed by Standard Investments, Inc., in 1926. The Royal Boulevard subdivision is an extension of the original Rossmoyne Subdivision plated in 1923 by the Haddock-Nibley Company. (See continuation page)

Rossmoyne was conceived as a planned suburban community by the Haddock-Nibley Company, from Salt Lake City, Utah. In 1923, they purchased 800 acres of the Rossmoyne Ranch for a reported $2 million and built an Egyptian Revival style sales office at 1300 Verdugo Road (not extant). The land included expanses of citrus groves, live oak, and sycamore trees, and a rising mesa. The portion of land originally subdivided under the name “Rossmoyne” included land east of present-day Cordova Avenue, west of Mountain Street, and north of Verdugo Road as well as smaller portions south of Verdugo Road and north of Mountain Street.2 The community incorporated natural features, curving concrete streets, and lighting. Many lots were large with expansive views, aimed at upper middle-class buyers. Architectural covenants were imposed to control the character of the community, “mandating Period Revival styles,” minimum constructions costs to ensure a particular class of buyers, protection of open lands in the foothills, and race restrictions.3 The subdivision was accessible by the Glendale & Montrose Railway developed by the Holmes-Walton Company in 19134 along North Glendale Avenue.

In 1926, a second phase of Rossmoyne land, located in the hillside area of Rossmoyne’s northeastern corner, was subdivided and laid out as a series of narrow winding streets branching off Royal Boulevard.5 A 1926 article in the Glendale Evening News announcing the opening of the “Royal Boulevard unit” quoted Alex Nibley in saying that “practically every available inch of ground already developed” had been sold and the “Royal Boulevard unit is opening just in time” to meet demand for new homes in Rossmoyne.6
Construction in the Royal Boulevard subdivision began in 1926 and was designed in the Spanish or Mediterranean revival styles, featuring large hillside lots aimed at a higher income level than other sections of Rossmoyne. Reminiscent of a Mediterranean hill town with the wide sweep of Royal Boulevard serving as its centerpiece and formal entrance, the landscaped parkways on both sides of Royal Boulevard were planted with palm trees, enhancing the area’s “Spanish” qualities.7 In 1931, Alex Nibley announced that Standard Investments, Inc., an East Coast financial concern, had acquired over 450 acres of undeveloped land in Rossmoyne. According to the Los Angeles Times, the transaction called for Rossmoyne Investments & Securities to continue handling the sale of home sites.8 The Times also noted that Ernest Payson Goodrich, a New York community development consultant, would come to Glendale to direct the future planning of Rossmoyne. Financial difficulties continued within the Royal Boulevard subdivision from the 1929 Stock Market crash and subsequent economic Depression, halting construction until 1935 under a new development firm.9 There are 9 properties in the historic district that were built in the early period of development between 1926 and 1931.

In 1936, the opening of “Rossmoyne Village” was announced by Harry Welton, vice-president of a new real estate concern, Rossmoyne Properties, Inc.10 Rossmoyne Village is described as a new residential community immediately adjacent to the residential community “formerly known as Rossmoyne.” Advertisements for the new community also promoted plans for a neighborhood swimming pool, playgrounds, a second park, a community center, shopping center, and a college, at the intersection of Mountain Street and Verdugo Road, adjacent to the Glendale & Montrose Railway rail line. 11 Royal Boulevard became a focal point for Rossmoyne Village marketing featuring a French Revival model home at 1455 Royal Boulevard, opened in 1936. The home was sponsored as “Home of the Month” by McCall’s Magazine. 12 The French Revival
architecture of 1455 Royal Boulevard, together with the earlier construction of a Tudor-Revival style home at 1447 Royal Boulevard in 1935, ceased the Spanish/Mediterranean mandate on Royal Boulevard and welcomed more current architectural trends. The model home as a marketing tactic proved so successful that it was repeated at 1524 Royal Boulevard in 1939 with a showcase of “authentic English Cotswold architecture.”13

Development within the historic district continued after the purchase of Rossmoyne Village, Inc., with infill development within previously subdivided areas. Following national trends, houses constructed in the post-war era largely abandoned period revival architectural styles in favor of new variations of the modern styles introduced in the pre-war years, primarily the Minimal Traditional and the Ranch styles.
15 Large-scale residential development in Rossmoyne came to an end in the late 1970s. Some of the last residential subdivisions in Rossmoyne would occur in 1977 along Greenbrier Road north of the Markham estate.16 In 2008, the Royal Boulevard Historic District was locally designated. Developed between 1926 and 1948, it is significant as a distinctive example of community planning and a unique location representing an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood community. The proposed historic district is immediately adjacent to the Royal Boulevard Historic District and has a similar development pattern and residential character. Both the Royal Boulevard Historic District and proposed historic district contain individually eligible properties due to their architectural merit.

The Princes Dr./Imperial Dr. Residential Historic District remains a cohesive collection of single-family residences constructed between 1926 and 1941. While some of the district’s properties were altered over time, the majority of them have not been substantially altered beyond recognition that they no longer contribute to the historic district’s significance. Two of the properties were demolished and have been infilled with more recent development from the 2000s. Contributing properties in the district typically retain their original setbacks, scale and massing, plans, style, and character-defining features. They are primarily designed in the Period Revival architectural styles, including Spanish Colonial Revival, American Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, French Revival, Monterey Revival, and some have been designed in various Ranch styles. Contributing features to the historic district include its curvilinear street pattern, concrete curbs, trees and vegetation, period streetlights, sidewalk and parkways.

The Riverside Drive Equestrian Commercial Historic District is located in the northwestern portion of Glendale. Comprising four properties on the south side of Riverside Drive and adjacent Irving Avenue between the city’s boundary with Burbank and the Burbank Western Channel, the district contains the most intact and cohesive grouping of vernacular commercial buildings, outbuildings, and structures related to the area’s equestrian-related recreational development between the 1940s and the 1970s.

Properties in the district are one- and two-story buildings situated on large, generally rectangular lots and include structures and features related to their equestrian use. All four properties contribute to the district’s significance and were constructed between 1940 and 1972. A fifth equestrian-related property from this period, 1900 Riverside Drive, is associated with the district’s broader patterns of development; however, it does not retain sufficient integrity to convey its association and is excluded from the district boundary.

*Resource Name or #: Riverside Drive Equestrian Commercial Historic District D1. Historic Name: River Bottom/Riverside Rancho
D2. Common Name: Riverside Drive Equestrian Commercial Historic District *D3. Detailed Description:

The Riverside Drive Equestrian Commercial Historic District contains a total of four properties, all of which (100%) contribute to its historic significance. Although associated with the district’s broader patterns of development, a fifth equestrian-related property at 1900 Riverside Drive was excluded from the district boundary due to insufficient integrity. Contributing properties are one- and twostory equestrian recreational-commercial complexes constructed between 1940 and 1972 in a predominantly vernacular architectural idiom. Collectively, they retain the distinctive physical characteristics associated with the area's long-standing horseoriented commercial economy, including stables, barns, corrals, riding arenas, loafing sheds, hay-storage facilities, wash racks, and ancillary service buildings arranged to support equestrian activities. Buildings are generally modest in design, reflecting their utilitarian/recreational purpose.
(continued on page 3)
*D4. Boundary Description:

The Riverside Drive Equestrian Commercial Historic District is bounded by Riverside Drive to the north, the Burbank Western Channel to the east, Allen Avenue (east side) and the adjacent City of Burbank boundary to the west, and a bridle trail to the south at the junction of the Cities of Glendale and Burbank. The bridle trail, which is accessible via bridges at Allen and Irving Avenues, connects to a larger network of bridle trails that serve the surrounding equestrian community and provide access to the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, the Los Angeles River, and Griffith Park. The contributing properties front on the south side of Riverside Drive and adjacent Irving Avenue.
*D5. Boundary Justification:

The boundaries of the Riverside Drive Equestrian Commercial Historic District were drawn to encompass the remaining cohesive and intact collection of vernacular commercial buildings, outbuildings, and associated structures that reflect the area’s equestrianrelated recreational development. Unlike a planned development created by a single developer, the district appears to have evolved incrementally through piecemeal construction by individual property owners. The district boundaries are therefore limited to the southern portion of Riverside Drive and adjacent Irving Avenue, where sufficient historic integrity remains to convey the area's association with commercial and equestrian-related recreational development between 1940 and 1972.

D6. Significance: Theme: Pre-World War II Commercial Development (1904-1944), Post-World War II Commercial Development (1945-2000) Area: Glendale
Period of Significance: 1940-1972 Applicable Criteria: A, G Summary Statement of Significance:

The Riverside Drive Equestrian Commercial District appears eligible for local designation as a City of Glendale Historic District under District Criteria A and G. It is significant for its association with historic patterns of commercial-recreational development in Glendale, which resulted in the district’s distinctive character as an enclave for equestrian activity. Located within an area historically known as both the “River Bottom” and the “Riverside Rancho,” the district represents the commercial center of a broader equestrian landscape that developed throughout the early and mid-twentieth century.1 The district’s four properties, all developed between 1940 and 1972, contribute to its significance. As a cohesive grouping, they reflect the longstanding importance of horse culture in Glendale and the adjacent communities of Burbank and Los Angeles. (continued on page 3) *D7.

The district includes a range of equestrian-related property types. The complex at 110 Irving Avenue contains multiple buildings and structures, including at least two single-family residences, stables, barns, sheds, corrals, and a fenced riding arena. The property at 1820 Riverside Drive, which was originally a single-family residence, consists of a two-story primary corner building fronting Riverside Drive with an attached stable at the rear, accompanied by ancillary structures including loafing and storage sheds. The property at 1830 Riverside Drive contains a one-story stable, a fenced riding arena, and loafing shed. 1840 Riverside Drive includes three buildings: a commercial tack and feed store, a Quonset hut, and a one-story stable with associated corrals and wash racks.

Some alterations have occurred throughout the district; however, most have not obscured the original design, configuration, or function of individual buildings and structures. As a result, the district continues to convey its historic association with the equestrianbased commercial economy that has long been central to the community's identity.

D6. Significance (continued from page 2):

The period of significance has been identified as 1940 to 1972, encompassing the district’s primary period of development and continued growth as a hub for equestrian activities. The district contains four contributing properties, all of which retain strong associations with their historic equestrian functions. Collectively, these properties have provided horse boarding facilities, riding academies, feed stores, and other services supporting the local equestrian community. The district also includes a single-family residence at 1820 Riverside Drive, which retains a horse barn at the rear of the property. Similarly, the property at 110 Irving Avenue historically included residential accommodations, likely serving as housing for individuals responsible for the around-theclock care and supervision of horses.2 Since the early twentieth century, the River Bottom has served as the focal point of equestrian activity in the area. By the 1920s, riding academies had been established along Riverside Drive, attracting a variety of related businesses and facilities. Horse boarding stables, feed stores, restaurants, and other commercial enterprises soon emerged to support the growing equestrian community. The district developed adjacent to the residential neighborhood historically known as “Riverside Rancho,” a planned residential community developed primarily by the Fritz B. Burns Company during the 1930s.3 Unlike many Southern California neighborhoods of the period, Riverside Rancho was specifically designed to accommodate horse ownership. In place of, or alongside, the backyard swimming pools common in suburban developments, many homes included detached horse stables and direct access to equestrian amenities. Contemporary advertisements emphasized this distinctive lifestyle, proclaiming, “Corral? Of course. Why live in Riverside Ranchos if one is not an addict of spur and saddle!”4 The district also occupies a strategic location within a larger network of bridle trails serving Glendale, Burbank, and Los Angeles.

These trails provide direct access to Griffith Park and have long-connected residential and commercial equestrian facilities throughout the area. All of the district’s contributing properties retain access to this network through bridges located at the southern termini of Allen and Irving Avenues.

The development of the Riverside Drive Equestrian Commercial District coincided with the peak period of equestrian-oriented residential and commercial growth in the area. As riding academies, horse boarding facilities, and equestrian neighborhoods expanded throughout the mid-twentieth century, the district emerged as the commercial heart of the local equestrian community.

Today, the district remains a rare and cohesive concentration of properties associated with Glendale’s enduring equestrian heritage. 2 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map from Glendale, California 1925 vol. 2A, 1925-Oct. 1950, Sheet 299P, Los Angeles Public Library Digital Sanborn Maps, 1867-1970 Collection. 3 Fritz B.

The W. Glenoaks Blvd./Cleveland Rd. to Highland Ave. Multi-Family Residential Historic District is bounded by Cleveland Road on the west, Alma Street on the west, and alleyways on the north and south. *D5. Boundary Justification:

The W. Glenoaks Blvd./Cleveland Rd. to Highland Ave. Multi-Family Residential Historic District comprises a cohesive concentration of intact multi-family residential properties from 1930 through the 1950s along Glenoaks Boulevard in the northwest area of Glendale. Surrounding areas of residential development do not display similar levels of cohesion of multi-family residential construction in line with the historic theme. The commercial parcels along W. Glenoaks Blvd have also been excluded from the district boundaries due to thematic differences and extensive alterations.

D6. Significance: Theme: Pre-World War II Multi-Family Residential Development (1910-1944); Post-World War II Multi-Family Residential Development (1945-2000)
Area: Glendale Period of Significance: 1937-1955 Applicable Criteria: A, G The W. Glenoaks Blvd./Cleveland Rd. to Highland Ave. Multi-Family Residential Historic District appears eligible for local designation as a City of Glendale Historic District under District Criteria A and G. This district is significant as a cohesive concentration of multi-family residential development from 1937 through 1955 along W. Glenoaks Boulevard in the northwest side of Glendale, reflecting the city’s residential growth in the interwar years and expansion during the post-World War II period. The historic district retains its original tract boundary and reflects the evolving pattern of multi-family development during the period of significance beginning in 1937 with the initial development of Tract no. 8419, through the end of its postwar development in 1955. Of the historic district’s 47 parcels, 39 of these contribute to its significance (approximately 83%); 8 are non-contributors.

The W. Glenoaks Blvd./Cleveland Rd. to Highland Ave. Multi-Family Residential Historic District comprises portions of lot 1, block 8 and portions of lot 1, block 9 of the original Pelanconi Tract, platted in 1927 by the heirs of the Pelanconi family. The Pelanconi tract was subdivided into smaller residential tracts, including Tract no. 8419, 11040, and 11150 in the 1930’s by the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, encompassing portions of the historic district.

In 1881, the Pelanconi family, headed by Antonio and Isabela Pelanconi, settled on a ranch of 212 acres in the future Glenwood Road area and planted a vineyard on their land.1 In 1911, the Pacific Electric (PE) Company developed the Burbank Line along Glenoaks Boulevard into Burbank, acquiring the right-of-way through the Pelanconi vineyard prior to the development of the land.

The introduction of the interurban line stimulated subdivisions around them and became magnets for multi-family housing and commercial activity along the routes. The PE Red Car line that ran along Glenoaks facilitated mixed-use development along the route, persisting even after the streetcar gave way to automobiles.2

In the late 1920s, the Pelanconi vineyard was subdivided into residential lots after about a decade of probate. The Pelanconi heirs sold the 212-acre property to developers for a reported $1 million. In 1930, the W.I. Hollingsworth Company announced it would put a 150-acre tract in the area on the market pending street improvements. According to the Los Angeles Times, frontage along San Fernando Boulevard and West Glenoaks Boulevard was zoned for business while the remainder of the tract for residential development.
3 Between 1930 and 1936, the Pelanconi tract was subdivided into three tracts – Tract no. 8419, 11040, and 11150 – between Grandview and Highland Avenues by the Title Guarantee and Trust Company.4 In 1937, construction of a series of multifamily dwellings was launched in the historic district, between Cleveland Road and Pelanconi Avenue. The plan was to develop 3,000 feet of frontage on Glenoaks in this area which would be restricted to income property. G.D. Robertson & Co., Inc. was the main developer of these multi-family projects totaling $75,000. They were largely two-story fourplexes and duplexes with uniform setbacks and a minimum of 10 feet between dwellings – all conforming to FHA regulations.5 Through a combination of developers, this area of W. Glenoaks Boulevard came to be developed with Period Revival and Minimal Traditional two-story apartment buildings starting in the late 1930s.6 During this early period of development, fourteen properties were built in the historic district between 1937 and 1940; eight additional properties were constructed between 1941 and 1942, as listed in the table below.

The district saw a second surge of development in the postwar period. Sanborn maps from 1950 depict the historic district nearly built out with mainly duplexes, two-flats, three-flats, and four-flats. The surrounding north and south radiating streets were dominated by single-family homes. The PE street line service to Burbank ceased in 1955, the same year the historic district was completely developed, according to the assessor’s record. By 1962, aerial photographs depict the streetcar rail along W. Glenoaks Blvd. replaced by a concrete center median with landscaping.

Contributing properties in the district are primarily designed in the Minimal Traditional style, with some in Period Revival examples, including the Spanish Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival styles. The historic district also retains its original planning features, including its concrete curbs and sidewalks, parkways, landscaping, and center median. While some alterations have occurred, the district retains sufficient integrity to convey its significance. Contributing properties generally retain the majority of their characterdefining features, including their original setback, scale and massing, configuration, and style. 1 Architectural Resources Group, “South Cumberland Heights Historic Resources Survey,” prepared for the City of Glendale, November 8, 2021, 13; “Purchase Valuable Tract,” Los Angeles Times, August 14, 1926; “Estate to be Placed in Market,” Los Angeles Times, March 23, 1930; Perry and Parcher, Glendale Area History, 6-8.

Glenoaks Boulevard between Highland Avenue on the west and Beulah Street on the east. The district is rectangular in shape and comprises two linear blocks on the north side and three linear blocks on the south side developed primarily with one-and-two story multi-family residences dating from the mid-1920s through the early 1950s. Residences occupy rectangular lots typically measuring 50 feet wide and 120 feet deep, with detached rear garages accessed via driveways. Residences are designed predominately in the Minimal Traditional style with a few Period Revival examples, including the Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and American Colonial Revival styles. District planning features include uniform setbacks, concrete curbs and sidewalks, parkways lined with palm trees, and a landscaped center median.

The W. Glenoaks Blvd-Cleveland Rd to Highland Ave Multi-Family Residential Historic District consists of 67 parcels. Of these, 50 were evaluated as contributors to the historic district (approximately 75%); 17 are non-contributors. *P3b. Resource Attributes: HP2. Single family

D1. Historic Name:

D2. Common Name: W. Glenoaks Blvd./Highland Ave. to Kenilworth Ave. Multi-Family Residential Historic District *D3. Detailed Description:

The W. Glenoaks Blvd./Highland Ave. to Kenilworth Ave. Multi-Family Residential Historic District is located along W. Glenoaks Boulevard in the northwest portion of E-W Glendale. The historic district occupies flat terrain and includes parcels on both sides of W. Glenoaks Boulevard between Highland Avenue on the west and Beulah Street on the east. The district is rectangular in shape and comprises two linear blocks on the north side and three linear blocks on the south side developed primarily with one-and-two story multi-family residences dating from the mid-1920s through the early 1950s. Residences occupy rectangular lots typically measuring 50 feet wide and 120 feet deep, with detached rear garages accessed via driveways. Residences are designed predominately in the Minimal Traditional style with a few Period Revival examples, including the Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and American Colonial Revival styles. District planning features include uniform setbacks, concrete curbs and sidewalks, parkways lined with palm trees, and a landscaped center median.

The W. Glenoaks Blvd./Highland Ave. to Kenilworth Ave. Multi-Family Residential Historic District consists of 67 parcels. Of these, 50 were evaluated as contributors to the historic district (approximately 75%); 17 are non-contributors. *D4. Boundary Description:

The W. Glenoaks Blvd./Highland Ave. to Kenilworth Ave. Multi-Family Residential Historic District is bounded by the east lot lines of commercial parcels along Glenoaks Boulevard on the west; the rear lot lines of parcels fronting Glenoaks Boulevard on the north; the west lot lines of commercial parcels along Glenoaks Boulevard on the east and Beulah Street on the east; and the rear lot lines of parcels fronting Glenoaks Boulevard on the south.
*D5. Boundary Justification:

The W. Glenoaks Blvd./Highland Ave. to Kenilworth Ave. Multi-Family Residential Historic District comprises a cohesive concentration of intact multi-family residential properties from the mid-1920s through the early 1950s along Glenoaks Boulevard in the northwest area of Glendale. Surrounding areas of residential development do not display similar levels of cohesion of multi-family residential construction in line with the historic theme. The commercial parcels along W. Glenoaks Blvd have also been excluded from the district boundaries due to thematic differences and extensive alterations.

D6. Significance: Theme: Pre-World War II Multi-Family Residential Development (1910-1944); Post-World War II Multi-Family Residential Development (1945-2000)
Area: Glendale Period of Significance: 1924-1953 Applicable Criteria: A, G The W. Glenoaks Blvd./Highland Ave. to Kenilworth Ave. Multi-Family Residential Historic District appears eligible for local designation as a City of Glendale Historic District under District Criteria A and G. This district is significant as a cohesive concentration of multifamily residential development from 1924 to 1953 along W. Glenoaks Boulevard in the northwest side of Glendale, reflecting the city’s residential growth in the interwar years and expansion during the post-World War II period. The historic district retains its original boundary and zoning and reflects an evolving pattern of multi-family development during the period of significance beginning with the first construction (1924) after the 1923 platting of Tract no. 6042 and 6243 through 1953, the end of its postwar development. Of the historic district’s 67 parcels, 50 of these contribute to its significance (approximately 75%); 17 are noncontributors.

The W. Glenoaks Blvd./Highland Ave. to Kenilworth Ave. Multi-Family Residential Historic District comprises portions of the large S.C.

Hahne estate platted in 1883 on the northwest side of Glendale. In 1909, Tract No. 646 was subdivided from a portion of the S.C.

Hahne estate by members of the Hahne family, including real estate investor, Carl Simon Hahne (1883-1942), his mother, Jennie A.

Hahne, and sisters Eloise G. Hahne, and Ethlyn May Handson.1 In 1923, Tract No. 646 tract was further subdivided into smaller tracts – including Tract no. 6042 and 6243 – compromising portions of the historic district.2 (see continuation page) *D7. References:

In 1911, the Pacific Electric Company developed the Burbank Line along Glenoaks Boulevard into Burbank. The new line branched off of the existing Glendale line at Brand Boulevard, traveling northwest for about three miles along Glenoaks Boulevard through vast expanses of farmland, including the S.C Hahne estate.3 Construction of the Glendale-Burbank line made it possible to access the sparsely developed agricultural hinterlands west of Glendale and Casa Verdugo, stimulated subdivisions around them, including multi-family housing and commercial activity along the routes. The PE Red Car line that ran along Glenoaks Boulevard facilitated mixed-use development along the route, persisting even after the streetcar gave way to automobiles.4

By 1925, Sanborn maps depict predominantly single-family residential development in Tract no. 6042 and 6243, north and south of Glenoaks Boulevard.5 By the late 1920s, low-scale multi-family residential development had picked up on and around Glenoaks Boulevard, with the stretch east of Brand Boulevard nearly built out by 1930.6 Multi-family residential development was slow and sporadic in the historic district through the 1940’s, as visible in aerial photographs; between 1924 to 1931 there were 13 properties built. Construction was halted in 1931 following the stock market crash of 1929. During the Depression years, construction continued steadily in the district with 14 properties built between 1937 and 1940. In 1939, the federal Home Owners Loan Corporation (HOLC) surveys note that five percent of dwellings along Glenoaks Boulevard (between Grandview Avenue and Fairmont Road) were multi-family, suggesting a persistent dearth of multi-family properties in the area.7
The district saw a second surge of development in the postwar period. Sanborn maps from 1950 depict the historic district nearly built out with mainly duplexes, two-flats, three-flats, and four-flats. The surrounding north and south radiating streets were dominated by single-family homes.8 By 1953, the district was completely built out, with a total of 29 properties built between 1942 and 1953 according to the assessor’s record. In 1955, the PE street line service to Burbank ceased, and by 1962, aerial photographs depict the streetcar rail along W. Glenoaks Blvd replaced by a concrete center median with landscaping.
