Architecture - 20th Century Period Revivals; Single-Family Residential Development, 1872-1918 Area Glendale
Period of Significance: 1919 Property Type: Single-family residential Applicable Criteria: A; C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The property at 330 W. Kenneth Rd. appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is significant as a rare remaining example of early residential development in this part of Glendale, reflecting pre-annexation establishment of scattered single-family residences primarily associated with agricultural pursuits. Constructed in 1919, the property is one of relatively few extant residential buildings from this formative period of neighborhood growth and likely was a catalyst for development.
The property also appears eligible as an excellent example of American Colonial Revival architecture as applied to a single-family residence. 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.
The American Colonial Revival style grew out of the U.S. Centennial Exposition of 1876, which inspired a sense of patriotism in Americans and fostered an interest in the styles of the Colonial era. The restoration of Colonial Williamsburg in the 1930s refueled interest in the style, and it remained popular into the post-World War II era. American Colonial Revival buildings are typically one or two stories in height, with symmetrical configuration (asymmetrical examples are also common) and simple plans. They typically feature side gable or cross gable roofs, sometimes with gabled dormers; exterior walls clad in horizontal wood siding and occasionally brick; prominent brick chimneys; double hung, divided light wood sash windows, usually with louvered wood shutters; paneled wood doors, sometimes with sidelights, transom lights, or fanlights; and restrained use of Classical details.

Significance: Theme Architecture - 20th Century Period Revivals Area Glendale Period of Significance: 1923 Property Type: Single-family residential Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The property at 439 W. Kenneth Rd. appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is an excellent example of the Storybook subtype of Tudor Revival architecture as applied to a single-family residence. 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.
The Tudor Revival style is loosely based on a variety of late medieval English building traditions. Much like other Period Revival styles, Tudor Revival architecture became extremely popular during the 1920s population boom in Southern California. Masonry veneering techniques of the 1920s and ‘30s helped to further disseminate the style, as even modest houses could afford to mimic the brick and stone exteriors of traditional English designs. Tudor Revival buildings are characterized by asymmetrical facades; irregular massing; gabled roofs, often steeply pitched with flared eaves; stucco or brick wall cladding, typically with half-timbering and masonry decorative details; prominent chimneys; and casement windows.

Significance: Theme Architecture - Residential Vernacular Area Glendale Period of Significance: 1924 Property Type: Single-family residential Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The property at 441 Kenneth Rd. appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is a rare example of Residential Vernacular architecture with natural stone construction as applied to a single-family residence. 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.
The term “Residential Vernacular” is used to describe simple houses or cottages with little or no distinguishing decorative features, or incorporating locally available natural materials. From the 1870s to the early 1900s, a number of vernacular building styles applied much-simplified elements of more opulent Victorian styles like Queen Anne to these modest one-story cottages. These homes typically had complex rooflines dominated by either a gable or hipped primary roof, and some adopted features popular in the Arts and Crafts era as well as some basic characteristics of the Queen Anne style.
Partial-width or full-width porches are very common features of vernacular Victorian-era buildings. Early farmhouses often fall within this category. Later iterations began to incorporate locally sourced natural materials such as stone illustrating the influence of the Arts and Crafts Movement.

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The property at 1401-03 W Kenneth Rd appears individually eligible for listing in the Glendale Register, in addition to contributing to the potential Kenneth Village Historic District. It is eligible as the longtime office of significant landscape architecture firm Troller & Mayer, founded by master landscape architect Howard E. Troller.
Born in Glendale in 1923, Howard E. Troller studied landscape architecture at UC Berkeley while working as a draftsman and graphic designer for the landscape design firm of Eckbo, Royston and Williams. He went on to earn a Masters of Landscape Architecture in 1950 and joined the office of Ralph Cornell as principal designer. In 1955, Cornell made Troller and Bill Bridgers partners in the firm. Troller was Director of Design and Planning for Cornell, Bridgers and Troller and designed notable projects including Los Angeles' Grand Park, Los Angeles City Hall East Mall, and the Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden and Inverted Fountain at UCLA.
In 1978, Troller left the firm and opened his own practice Howard E. Troller Associates in Glendale; he later partnered with Richard Mayer in Troller Mayer Associates at the same location. Achva Stein joined the firm in the late 1980s to make it Troller Mayer & Stein for a short time, while also directing the USC landscape architecture program. Notable projects completed by the firm include Troller's 14-year tenure as landscape architect for Occidental College (1978-1992), followed by large historic-park restoration projects at Leimert Park Plaza (1996-1999), MacArthur Park (1998-2001), and Washington Park in Pasadena (2004-2006). Troller was elected Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects in 1992 and died in 2017.
Richard Mayer continues to operate Troller Mayer Associates and may be a significant individual in his own right, though insufficient time has passed to enable an objective scholarly perspective and evaluation under local Criterion B. The same is true of Achva Stein, a Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architectures and professor emerita and former department chair at several universities.

Also address integrity.) In addition to being a contributor to the potential Kenneth Village Commercial Historic District, the property at 1435 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.

Significance: Theme Architecture - 20th Century Period Revivals Area Glendale Period of Significance: 1926 Property Type: Single-family residential Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The property at 1515 W. Kenneth Rd. appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is an excellent example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture as applied to a single-family residence, and is a rare example of the style rendered in the vernacular material of locally available natural stone. 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.
The Spanish Colonial Revival style attained widespread popularity throughout Southern California following the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. It was an attempt to create a “native” California architectural style that drew upon and romanticized the state’s colonial past. The style is characterized by asymmetrical façades; irregular plan and horizontal massing; varied gable or hipped roofs with clay barrel tiles; stuccoed exterior walls; arcades or colonnades; balconies, patios, or towers; and decorative grilles of wood, wrought iron, or plaster. In this case, natural stone is used instead of stucco cladding to create a more vernacular, rustic appearance.

Also address integrity.) The property at 1723 W. Kenneth Rd. appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is an excellent example of Tudor Revival architecture as applied to a single-family residence. 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.
The Tudor Revival style is loosely based on a variety of late medieval English building traditions. Much like other Period Revival styles, Tudor Revival architecture became extremely popular during the 1920s population boom in Southern California. Masonry veneering techniques of the 1920s and ‘30s helped to further disseminate the style, as even modest houses could afford to mimic the brick and stone exteriors of traditional English designs. Tudor Revival buildings are characterized by asymmetrical facades; irregular massing; gabled roofs, often steeply pitched with flared eaves; stucco or brick wall cladding, typically with half-timbering and masonry decorative details; prominent chimneys; and casement windows.

Significance: Theme Architecture - Arts and Crafts; Single-Family Residential Development, 1872-1918 Area Glendale Period of Significance: 1916 Property Type: Single-family residential Applicable Criteria: A; C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The property at 1752 Lake St. appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is significant as a rare remaining example of early residential development in this part of Glendale, reflecting pre-annexation establishment of scattered single-family residences primarily associated with agricultural pursuits. Constructed in 1916, the property is one of relatively few extant residential buildings from this formative period of neighborhood growth.
The property also appears eligible as an excellent example of the Airplane Bungalow subtype of Craftsman architecture as applied to a single-family residence. 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.
Craftsman architecture grew out of the late-19th century English Arts and Crafts movement. A reaction against industrialization and the excesses of the Victorian era, the movement stressed simplicity of design, hand-craftsmanship, and the relationship of the building to the climate and landscape.
Craftsman architecture developed in the first decade of the 20th century as an indigenous California version of the American Arts and Crafts movement, incorporating Southern California’s unique qualities. Arts and Crafts elements were applied to a range of residential property types, from modest, lowslung bungalows to grander and more articulated multi-story houses. They included wood clapboard or shingle exteriors and a pronounced horizontal emphasis, with broad front porches, often composed with stone, clinker brick, or stuccoed porch piers. Other character-defining features include lowpitched front-facing gable roofs, and overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails. The Airplane Bungalow subtype is distinguished by its "pop-up" second story smaller than the first story.

Also address integrity.) The property at 1801 Lake St. appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is an excellent example of a 1950s fourplex, exhibiting distinctive characteristics of the property type as expressed by its form, scale, massing, and orientation around a shared central landscape. Fourplexes were designed to reference the appearance of single-family dwellings and are similar in scale, massing, and configuration. They offered a compromise between the privacy of a single-family house and the density of an apartment building.
During the postwar period, the fourplex was one of several multi-family property types that grew in popularity as an expanding population required more housing. This Mid-Century Modern example is associated with important residential development patterns that shaped Glendale during this time.

Significance: Theme Architecture - Arts and Crafts Area Glendale Period of Significance: 1916 Property Type: Single-family residential Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The property at 1315 N. Louise St. appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register on an individual basis, in addition to being a contributor to the designated Casa Verdugo Historic District. It is an excellent example of Craftsman architecture as applied to a single-family residence. 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. The property is also significant as the work of notable local architect Alfred F. Priest.
Craftsman architecture grew out of the late-19th century English Arts and Crafts movement. A reaction against industrialization and the excesses of the Victorian era, the movement stressed simplicity of design, hand-craftsmanship, and the relationship of the building to the climate and landscape.
Craftsman architecture developed in the first decade of the 20th century as an indigenous California version of the American Arts and Crafts movement, incorporating Southern California’s unique qualities. Arts and Crafts elements were applied to a range of residential property types, from modest, lowslung bungalows to grander and more articulated multi-story houses. They included wood clapboard or shingle exteriors and a pronounced horizontal emphasis, with broad front porches, often composed with stone, clinker brick, or stuccoed porch piers. Other character-defining features include lowpitched front-facing gable roofs, and overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails.
Alfred F. Priest (1888–1931) was a prominent Southern California architect whose work played an important role in the development of Glendale during the city’s rapid growth in the 1910s and 1920s. Born in Nebraska, Priest moved to Los Angeles in 1906, where he trained through night-school courses and employment as an architectural draftsman before establishing his own practice. Although his office was in downtown Los Angeles, Priest was a longtime Glendale resident, and most of his work took place within the city limits. His notable Glendale commissions included Herbert Hoover High School (1929), the Glendale Elks Club (1918), the Security Trust & Savings Bank (1923), and numerous other schools, residences, and commercial buildings, including other residential properties in the Casa Verdugo Historic District.

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.
The Spanish Colonial Revival style attained widespread popularity throughout Southern California following the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. It was an attempt to create a “native” California architectural style that drew upon and romanticized the state’s colonial past. The style is characterized by asymmetrical façades; irregular plan and horizontal massing; varied gable or hipped roofs with clay barrel tiles; stuccoed exterior walls; arcades or colonnades; balconies, patios, or towers; and decorative grilles of wood, wrought iron, or plaster.

Also address integrity.) The property at 1416 Louise St. appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is significant as a rare remaining example of early residential development in this part of Glendale, reflecting pre-annexation establishment of scattered single-family residences primarily associated with agricultural pursuits. Constructed in 1914, the property is one of relatively few extant residential buildings from this formative period of neighborhood growth.
It also appears eligible as an excellent example of Craftsman architecture with Shingle style influences as applied to a single-family residence. 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. The property is also significant as the work of notable local architect Alfred F. Priest.
Craftsman architecture grew out of the late-19th century English Arts and Crafts movement. A reaction against industrialization and the excesses of the Victorian era, the movement stressed simplicity of design, hand-craftsmanship, and the relationship of the building to the climate and landscape.
Craftsman architecture developed in the first decade of the 20th century as an indigenous California version of the American Arts and Crafts movement, incorporating Southern California’s unique qualities.

They included wood clapboard or shingle exteriors and a pronounced horizontal emphasis, with broad front porches, often composed with stone, clinker brick, or stuccoed porch piers. Other character-defining features include lowpitched front-facing gable roofs, and overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails.
The Shingle style is an early style of the Arts and Crafts movement, reflecting some carryover from Victorian styles like Queen Anne and Eastlake/Stick.
As its name suggests, it is characterized by the covering of all or nearly all of a building with wood shingles stained a single color, reflecting the natural aesthetic of Arts and Crafts. Shingle-style buildings are typically two stories in height, though smaller examples are sometimes found, and have asymmetrical facades, steeply pitched roofs, and large porches. They often incorporate Craftsman-style elements like exposed rafter tails and wood brackets.
Alfred F. Priest (1888–1931) was a prominent Southern California architect whose work played an important role in the development of Glendale during the city’s rapid growth in the 1910s and 1920s.

Significance: Theme Architecture - Arts and Crafts Area Glendale Period of Significance: 1913 Property Type: Single-family residential Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The property at 1326 N. Maryland Ave. appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register on an individual basis, in addition to being a contributor to the designated Casa Verdugo Historic District. It is an excellent example of Craftsman architecture as applied to a single-family residence. 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. The property is also significant as the work of notable local architect Alfred F. Priest.
Craftsman architecture grew out of the late-19th century English Arts and Crafts movement. A reaction against industrialization and the excesses of the Victorian era, the movement stressed simplicity of design, hand-craftsmanship, and the relationship of the building to the climate and landscape.
Craftsman architecture developed in the first decade of the 20th century as an indigenous California version of the American Arts and Crafts movement, incorporating Southern California’s unique qualities. Arts and Crafts elements were applied to a range of residential property types, from modest, lowslung bungalows to grander and more articulated multi-story houses. They included wood clapboard or shingle exteriors and a pronounced horizontal emphasis, with broad front porches, often composed with stone, clinker brick, or stuccoed porch piers. Other character-defining features include lowpitched front-facing gable roofs, and overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails.
Alfred F. Priest (1888–1931) was a prominent Southern California architect whose work played an important role in the development of Glendale during the city’s rapid growth in the 1910s and 1920s. Born in Nebraska, Priest moved to Los Angeles in 1906, where he trained through night-school courses and employment as an architectural draftsman before establishing his own practice. Although his office was in downtown Los Angeles, Priest was a longtime Glendale resident, and most of his work took place within the city limits. His notable Glendale commissions included Herbert Hoover High School (1929), the Glendale Elks Club (1918), the Security Trust & Savings Bank (1923), and numerous other schools, residences, and commercial buildings, including other residential properties in the Casa Verdugo Historic District.

It is an excellent example of French Revival architecture as applied to a single-family residence. 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.
French Revival style architecture gained popularity in the United States in the late 19th century and is most closely associated with Richard Morris Hunt, the first American architect to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The style did not gain popularity in Southern California until the 1920s; it was most frequently used there for luxury apartment buildings and only occasionally for large single-family residences. The style is characterized by a prominent, steeply pitched hipped roof with flared eaves and a classical eave cornice; simple rectangular plan and massing; exterior walls veneered in smooth plaster; and multi-light, wood sash casement or double-hung windows, usually with louvered wood shutters. Second floor windows sometimes break the cornice line with shallow dormers.

Significance: Theme Architecture - Ranch Area Glendale Period of Significance: 1937 Property Type: Single-family residential Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The property at 1620 Melwood Drive appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is an excellent example of the Colonial Ranch subtype of Traditional Ranch architecture as applied to a single-family residence. Constructed in 1937, the property exhibits high quality of design and distinctive characteristics that are associated with the style as expressed by its form, massing, composition, and architectural details. The property is also significant as the work of notable local architects Postle & Postle.
Traditional Ranch style architecture made its debut in the 1930s and is what is generally considered to be the “quintessential Ranch house.” Buildings designed in the style were awash in historical references associated with the vernacular architecture of 19th century California and the American West, and generally took on a distinctive, rusticated appearance. The Traditional Ranch style is almost always expressed in the form of a one-story, singlefamily house, although the style was occasionally adapted to commercial and institutional properties in the postwar era. Features such as low-pitched roofs with wide eaves, a combination of wall cladding materials including board-and-batten siding, large picture windows, and brick and stone chimneys were commonly applied. The Colonial Ranch subtype incorporates more traditional Neoclassical elements, minimized in scale and articulation to fit the horizontally oriented Ranch type.
David Postle Sr. was born in 1863 in Ohio and studied architecture and engineering at the University of Illinois. After graduating, he practiced as an architect in Illinois where he met his wife Georgia N. Richardson. The two married in 1893 and gave birth to a son George Richardson Postle in 1896 and David E. Postle Jr. in 1901. The family continued to live in Illinois while David practiced and designed some important buildings including the Pattington Apartments in Chicago (1902) which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. His sons followed in his footsteps and attended the University of Illinois to become architects. By 1921, George had relocated to Los Angeles, California where he married Mildred K. Kerr. His father followed and the two formed their architectural firm Postle & Postle. Together, they built several residential and commercial commissions throughout Southern California including Euclid Court in Pasadena (1921), Gunther-Balian Mansion in Altadena (1923), Self Help Graphics & Art Building/Brooklyn State Bank in Los Angeles (1927), and many more. In 1934, David retired and George continued to practice under his name exclusively. In 1939, David passed away and his son continued to work through the 1960s until he eventually retired. In 1984, David passed away.

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.
The Spanish Colonial Revival style attained widespread popularity throughout Southern California following the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. It was an attempt to create a “native” California architectural style that drew upon and romanticized the state’s colonial past. The style is characterized by asymmetrical façades; irregular plan and horizontal massing; varied gable or hipped roofs with clay barrel tiles; stuccoed exterior walls; arcades or colonnades; balconies, patios, or towers; and decorative grilles of wood, wrought iron, or plaster.
George Richardson Postle was born in 1896 in Illinois; his father David Postle Sr. was a practicing architect, and both men attended the University of Illinois. By 1921, George had relocated to Los Angeles, where he married Mildred K. Kerr. His father followed and the two formed their architectural firm Postle & Postle. Together, they built several residential and commercial commissions throughout Southern California including Euclid Court in Pasadena (1921), Gunther-Balian Mansion in Altadena (1923), Self Help Graphics & Art Building/Brooklyn State Bank in Los Angeles (1927), and many more. In 1934, David retired and George continued to practice under his name exclusively. Postle continued to work through the 1960s until he eventually retired.
In addition to residential designs, Postle designed multiple large-scale institutional buildings and additions, including a new wing for Glendale's Memorial Hospital (1955) and the 1965 headquarters for the Glendale Unified School District.

Significance: Theme Architecture - 20th Century Period Revivals Area Glendale Period of Significance: 1937 Property Type: Single-family residential Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The property at 1515 Merriman Dr. appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register on an individual basis, in addition to being a contributor to the designated Brockmont Park Historic District. It is an excellent example of French Revival architecture as applied to a single-family residence. 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.
French Revival style architecture gained popularity in the United States in the late 19th century and is most closely associated with Richard Morris Hunt, the first American architect to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The style did not gain popularity in Southern California until the 1920s; it was most frequently used there for luxury apartment buildings and only occasionally for large single-family residences. The style is characterized by a prominent, steeply pitched hipped roof with flared eaves and a classical eave cornice; simple rectangular plan and massing; exterior walls veneered in smooth plaster; and divided light, wood sash casement or double-hung windows, usually with louvered wood shutters. Second floor windows sometimes break the cornice line with shallow dormers.

Due to its outstanding quality of design and high artistic value, it also appears eligible for listing in the California Register. It is an excellent example of Late Modern architecture as applied to an apartment tower.
Constructed in 1983, the property exhibits high quality of design and distinctive characteristics that are associated with the style as expressed by its form, massing, composition, and architectural details. The property is also significant as the work of master architects Krisel/Schapiro & Associates.
Late Modern is a broad term that is used to describe an iteration of Modern architecture that came of age between the mid-1950s and 1970s. Compared to their Mid-Century Modern predecessors, which stressed simplicity and authenticity, Late Modern buildings exhibited a more sculptural quality that included bold geometric forms, uniform glass skins on concrete surfaces, and sometimes a heightened expression of structure and system.
Krisel/Shapiro & Associates was a partnership formed in 1969 by architects William Krisel, AIA (1924–2017), and Abraham Shapiro, AIA (b. 1926).
William Krisel, AIA, was born in Shanghai, China, where his father worked for the United States Department of State. The family returned to California in 1937. After graduating from Beverly Hills High School in 1941, Krisel enrolled in the University of Southern California’s School of Architecture, but his studies were interrupted by World War II, in which he served. Returning under the GI Bill, he graduated in 1949 while working in the offices of Paul Laszlo and Victor Gruen. Licensed as an architect in 1950, Krisel partnered with Dan Saxon Palmer to form Palmer & Krisel Architects. The firm initially designed custom homes and commercial projects before becoming a leading designer of tract housing in Southern California. Krisel also studied landscape architecture under master landscape architect Garrett Eckbo and became licensed in that field in 1954. Following the dissolution of Palmer & Krisel in 1966, Krisel continued practice under the name William Krisel, AIA. Over the course of his career, he designed more than 40,000 housing units and a wide range of building types, earning recognition as a pioneer of modern, affordable tract housing and numerous honors, including an AIA Lifetime Achievement Award. Krisel died in Beverly Hills on June 5, 2017.
Abraham Shapiro was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, on February 20, 1926. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the Hebrew Institute of Technology (now the Israel Institute of Technology, or Technion) in Haifa in 1949 and a Master of Science from Columbia University in 1952. Shapiro established Abraham Shapiro Associates in 1958 and remained in private practice until partnering with Krisel in 1969 to form Krisel/Shapiro & Associates. In 1979, Krisel sold his share of the firm to Shapiro, ending the partnership.
Krisel/Shapiro & Associates received numerous commissions for office, condominium, senior housing, multi-family residential, and commercial projects.
Among the prolific firm’s most notable works is Coronado Shores, a master-planned beachfront condominium community developed during the 1960s and 1970s south of the historic Hotel del Coronado in San Diego. The project consists of ten 15-story residential towers. The firm also designed the 1975 Fidelity Federal Building in Glendale, now occupied by U.S. Bank, and the 1978 Gayley Center in Westwood Village.

This property is a Late Moderne/Mid-Century Modern middle school campus with two visible buildings fronting on Monterey Road, an auditorium and a main school building. Both appear to be unaltered. The rest of the campus, constructed in 1955 with these visible buildings, is not visible from the public right-ofway.
The auditorium is rectangular in plan and has a shallowly pitched front gable roof fronted by a flat roofed, full width entry volume. Walls are scored tilt up concrete. The central entry has a projecting rectilinear concrete surround with three sets of metal double doors separated by two fixed or awning steel obscure glass windows. Above the doors, five bays of grouped fixed steel windows are separated by vertical concrete dividers with punched rectangular openings. Pin mounted metal lettering above entry reads "AUDITORIUM". The entry is fronted by concrete steps with pipe handrails, flanked by concrete planters.
The main school building is a large two story building with a rectangular plan and a shallowly pitched side gable roof. Walls are tilt up concrete with brick.cladding at the first story, on the east and west ends of the primary (south) facade. The facade is symmetrical, with a central projecting, flat-roofed second story volume with a bris soleil projecting over the first story. The entry contains two sets of fully glazed wood doors in one opening, with sidelights and transom. A second set of the same type has a transom. Pin mounted metal lettering over the entry reads "WOODROW WILSON MODDLE SCHOOL".
The entry is fronted by concrete steps and a side ramp with pipe handrails. Windows are set in bays separated by simple concrete vertical supports reaching the roof eaves, which are relatively wide. Windows are grouped steel fixed and awning or hopper.
Between the two front buildings a round-roofed concrete shade structure can be partially seen.

It is significant for its association with the expansion of municipal services, including the public school system, during the city's period of rapid growth after World War II. Constructed in 1955, it is one of relatively few civic/institutional properties from this formative period of city growth.
The property also appears eligible as an excellent example of Late Moderne architecture as applied to an institutional property. It 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.
Moderne architecture materialized during the Great Depression when the highly stylized Art Deco mode had become perceived as excessive and overly flamboyant. The architectural idiom was relatively inexpensive to build due to its lack of ornamentation and use of less labor-intensive building materials such as concrete and plaster. Inspired by the industrial designs of the time, Moderne architecture is characterized by its sleek, aerodynamic form and horizontal emphasis. The style’s major subtypes are Streamline Moderne and PWA Moderne, with later iterations known as Late Moderne.
The Late Moderne style incorporates elements of both the Streamline Moderne and International styles. While the earliest examples appeared in the late 1930s, the style reached its greatest popularity in large-scale commercial and civic buildings of the late 1950s and 1960s. The Late Moderne style is frequently identified by the use of the bezeled window, where horizontal groupings of windows are outlined in a protruding, bezel-like flange, often in a material and color that contrasts with the surrounding wall surface.

This property was surveyed in the 2011 North Cumberland Heights Historic District Survey by the City of Glendale Planning Division and is designated as a contributor to that historic district. This survey form updates the evaluation: the property also appears individually eligible for listing in the Glendale Register as the former residence of prominent comedian Don Knotts, who lived here with his family in the early 1960s (ca. 1960-1964). During this time, Knotts was at the height of his popularity as the character Barney Fife on the Andy Griffith Show. Knotts moved to Pacific Palisades in 1964.
The property’s character-defining features remain unchanged from those identified in 2011. No new alterations were noted in the 2026 survey update of this property; a one-story addition at the north (rear) elevation is presumed to be the backyard addition noted in the original documentation. The building continues to retain a high degree of integrity, enabling it to convey its association with significant individual Don Knotts. Photo below is view southwest, taken September 8, 2026.

In addition to being a contributor to the North Cumberland Heights Historic District, the property at 900 W Mountain St appears individually eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is the former residence of significant individual Don Knotts, who resided here with his family between about 1960 and 1964.
Born in West Virginia in 1924, Jesse Donald "Don" Knotts began his career as an actor and comedian in the late 1940s, after serving in the Army during World War II. He played multiple minor roles on television in the 1950s and gained national fame in the role of Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show. Knotts played the character between 1960 and 1965, when he left the show to pursue film work. During most of this time, Knotts, his wife Kay, and their two children lived at 900 W Mountain St in Glendale. Knotts went on to play other memorable comic roles, including Mr. Furley on Three's Company (1977-1984) and a number of starring roles in Disney movies like The Apple Dumpling Gang. Knotts moved to Pacific Palisades in 1964. He died in 2006.

The American Colonial Revival style grew out of the U.S. Centennial Exposition of 1876, which inspired a sense of patriotism in Americans and fostered an interest in the styles of the Colonial era. The restoration of Colonial Williamsburg in the 1930s refueled interest in the style, and it remained popular into the post-World War II era. American Colonial Revival buildings are typically one or two stories in height, with symmetrical configuration (asymmetrical examples are also common) and simple plans. They typically feature side gable or cross gable roofs, sometimes with gabled dormers; exterior walls clad in horizontal wood siding and occasionally brick; prominent brick chimneys; double hung, divided light wood sash windows, usually with louvered wood shutters; paneled wood doors, sometimes with sidelights, transom lights, or fanlights; and restrained use of Classical details.

Significance: Theme Architecture - Ranch Area Glendale Period of Significance: 1950 Property Type: Single-family residential Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The property at 1900 Niodrara Dr. appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register on an individual basis, in addition to being a contributor to the designated Niodrara Drive Historic District. It is an excellent example of traditional Ranch architecture as applied to a single-family residence. 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. The property is also significant as the work of notable local architect Robert Byrd.
Traditional Ranch style architecture made its debut in the 1930s and is what is generally considered to be the “quintessential Ranch house.” Buildings designed in the style were awash in historical references associated with the vernacular architecture of 19th century California and the American West, and generally took on a distinctive, rusticated appearance. The Traditional Ranch style is almost always expressed in the form of a one-story, singlefamily house, although the style was occasionally adapted to commercial and institutional properties in the postwar era. Features such as low-pitched roofs with wide eaves, a combination of wall cladding materials including board-and-batten siding, large picture windows, and brick and stone chimneys were commonly applied.
Robert L. Byrd (1904–1978) was a Southern California building designer and contractor known for distinctive residential architecture throughout the Los Angeles region. Born in Jonesborough, Tennessee, Byrd relocated with his family to Southern California and began designing and building residences in the Los Angeles area during the 1920s. Although he was not a licensed architect, Byrd developed a recognizable approach to residential design characterized by informal rustic forms; extensive use of wood, brick, and stone; and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living. His work was particularly associated with communities such as Glendale, Toluca Lake, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, and the Hollywood Hills, where he designed houses from the prewar period through the postwar era. Byrd continued designing residences into the 1970s and later worked alongside his son, Gary Byrd, leaving a distinctive body of Southern California residential work that represents a regional interpretation of the ranch house that emphasizes informal California living.

Also address integrity.) The property at 1346 Opechee Way appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is significant for its association with Disney animator Joseph C.
Grant as his family home and studio.
Born in New York City on May 15, 1908, Joseph C. “Joe” Grant moved to Southern California with his family as a child. He studied at the Chouinard Art Institute and worked as a caricaturist and illustrator for the Los Angeles Record before Walt Disney hired him in 1933 to design caricatures for the animated short Mickey’s Gala Premiere. Grant became an important story artist and character designer at the Disney studio, contributing to the development of numerous early Disney classics, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Pinocchio (1940), Fantasia (1940), and Dumbo (1941). He headed Disney’s Character Model Department, where he oversaw the development and visual design of characters for animated productions.
Grant left Disney in 1949 to pursue independent artistic and business ventures, including a ceramics studio and greeting-card company, but returned to the studio in 1989. During his second tenure, he contributed to the development of later films, including Beauty and the Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992), The Lion King (1994), and Pocahontas (1995). Grant was named a Disney Legend in 1992 and continued working at Disney until his death in Glendale on May 6, 2005.

Significance: Theme Architecture - 20th Century Period Revivals Area Glendale Period of Significance: 1922 Property Type: Single-family residential Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The property at 1625 Opechee Way, recommended for inclusion in the survey by a community member on 3/9/26, appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is an excellent example of the Dutch Colonial Revival subtype of American Colonial Revival architecture as applied to a singlefamily residence. 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. It is also notable as a filming location for Buster Keaton's 1925 film "Seven Chances." The American Colonial Revival style grew out of the U.S. Centennial Exposition of 1876, which inspired a sense of patriotism in Americans and fostered an interest in the styles of the Colonial era. The restoration of Colonial Williamsburg in the 1930s refueled interest in the style, and it remained popular into the post-World War II era. American Colonial Revival buildings are typically one or two stories in height, with symmetrical configuration (asymmetrical examples are also common) and simple plans. They typically feature side gable or cross gable roofs, sometimes with gabled dormers; exterior walls clad in horizontal wood siding and occasionally brick; prominent brick chimneys; double hung, divided light wood sash windows, usually with louvered wood shutters; paneled wood doors, sometimes with sidelights, transom lights, or fanlights; and restrained use of Classical details. Dutch Colonial Revival buildings are characterized by gambrel roofs, often with prominent central roof dormers, as seen in the subject property.

Also address integrity.) The property at 1749 Opechee Way appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is an rare and unique example of Residential Vernacular architecture with stone construction as applied to a single-family residence. 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.
The term “Residential Vernacular” is used to describe simple houses or cottages with little or no distinguishing decorative features. From the 1870s to the early 1900s, a number of vernacular building styles applied much-simplified elements of more opulent Victorian styles like Queen Anne to these modest one-story cottages. These homes typically had complex rooflines dominated by either a gable or hipped primary roof, and some adopted features popular in the Arts and Crafts era as well as some basic characteristics of the Queen Anne style. Partial-width or full-width porches are very common features of vernacular Victorian-era buildings. Early farmhouses often fall within this category. Later iterations began to incorporate locally sourced natural materials such as stone illustrating the influence of the Arts and Crafts Movement.

Architecture - 20th Century Period Revivals; Pre-WWII Multi-Family Residential Development, 1910-1944 Area Glendale
Period of Significance: 1926 Property Type: Multi-family residential Applicable Criteria: A; C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The property at 1822 Orchard Avenue appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. It is an excellent example of a 1920s duplex, exhibiting distinctive characteristics of the property type. Duplexes were designed to reference the appearance of single-family dwellings and are similar in scale, massing, and configuration. They offered a compromise between the privacy of a single-family house and the density of an apartment building. Duplexes were an important type of multi-family housing in Southern California.
The property also appears eligible as an excellent and locally rare example of Tudor Revival architecture applied to a duplex.
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.
The Tudor Revival style is loosely based on a variety of late medieval English building traditions. Much like other Period Revival styles, Tudor Revival architecture became extremely popular during the 1920s population boom in Southern California. Masonry veneering techniques of the 1920s and ‘30s helped to further disseminate the style, as even modest houses could afford to mimic the brick and stone exteriors of traditional English designs. Tudor Revival buildings are characterized by asymmetrical facades; irregular massing; gabled roofs, often steeply pitched with flared eaves; stucco or brick wall cladding, typically with half-timbering and masonry decorative details; prominent chimneys; and casement windows.

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. It may also be eligible for its design by notable local architect Ben Neuman.
Late Modern is a broad term that is used to describe an iteration of Modern architecture that came of age between the mid-1950s and 1970s. Compared to their Mid-Century Modern predecessors, which stressed simplicity and authenticity, Late Modern buildings exhibited a more sculptural quality that included bold geometric forms, uniform glass skins on concrete surfaces, and sometimes a heightened expression of structure and system.
Ben Neuman worked in real estate before becoming an architect in the mid-1950s. His first publicized building was an apartment building at 321 Geneva St, and his office was at 3704 1/2 Foothill Blvd. Ben Neuman & Associates primarily designed single-family residential, multi-family residential, and commercial office buildings. Neuman also designed multiple hotels for AstroMotels Inc. in the early 1960s. The firm's president, Theodore H. Schostak, planned to build over 100 motels nationwide. At least one local example survives, at 2818 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena (1962), exhibiting an exuberant Googie style. Neuman's office was active until at least 1980. He does not appear in AIA records.

*B6. Construction History: (Construction date, alteration, and date of alterations) Temple Sinai was established in South Glendale in the 1920s, and its first home was a small house named the Sinai Community Center. In 1949, the congregation moved to a new purpose-built facility on N. Pacific Avenue. It added a school building around 1954 (extant) and in 1962 had local architect George R.

Also address integrity.) The property at 1222 N. Pacific Ave. appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register. The first purpose-built facility for the Temple Sinai of Glendale congregation, who moved to this location in 1949, the building is eligible as an excellent example of Mid-Century Modern architecture as applied to an institutional property. Its current architectural character is the result of 1962 facade alterations designed by notable local architect George R. Postle. 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.
Mid-Century Modern is a broad term that is used to describe the various derivatives of Modern architecture that flourished in the post-World War II period. These include postwar adaptations of the International Style, post-and-beam construction, and more organic and expressive interpretations of the Modern architectural movement. Mid-Century Modernism is often characterized by a clear expression of structure and materials, large expanses of glass, and open interior plans. Common characteristics of the idiom include horizontal massing, open floor plans, wide overhanging eaves, large expanses of glass, exposed structural members, and dramatic rooflines (including A-frames).
George Richardson Postle was born in 1896 in Illinois; his father David Postle Sr. was a practicing architect, and both men attended the University of Illinois. By 1921, George had relocated to Los Angeles, where he married Mildred K. Kerr. His father followed and the two formed their architectural firm Postle & Postle. Together, they built several residential and commercial commissions throughout Southern California including Euclid Court in Pasadena (1921), Gunther-Balian Mansion in Altadena (1923), Self Help Graphics & Art Building/Brooklyn State Bank in Los Angeles (1927), and many more. In 1934, David retired and George continued to practice under his name exclusively. Postle continued to work through the 1960s until he eventually retired.
In addition to residential designs, Postle designed multiple large-scale institutional buildings and additions, including a new wing for Glendale's Memorial Hospital (1955) and the 1965 headquarters for the Glendale Unified School District.

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. Though not identified on the original permit, the residence is attributed to master architect Robert L. Earl (anonymous Bistagne family member, in-person interview with Francesca Smith January 9, 2023).
Contemporary Ranch architecture emerged after World War II. Buildings designed in the style took on the basic form, configuration, and massing of the Traditional Ranch house, but instead of historically inspired treatments and details that characterized various Period Revival styles, they incorporated the clean lines and abstract geometries associated with Modernism. Like the Traditional Ranch houses from which it is derived, the Contemporary Ranch style is almost always expressed in the form of a one-story, single-family house. Oriental and Polynesian-inspired motifs were often incorporated into the design of Contemporary Ranch houses.
Robert L. Earl was a Beverly Hills-based architect whose practice, Robert L. Earl, Architect & Associates, was active from at least the early 1960s through the late twentieth century. His work included custom residential and commercial projects throughout Southern California and elsewhere in the United States, as well as in Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and the Virgin Islands. Earl designed numerous custom residences, many in the Mid-Century Modern and Ranch styles, including houses in Bel Air’s Big Canyon and Beverly Hills’ Trousdale Estates. In 1981, the firm opened a branch office in Irvine.
Extant examples of Earl’s Mid-Century Modern residential work in the Los Angeles area include 3940 North Royal Oak Place (1959) and his own residence at 1394 Casiano Road (1963).
