OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DAWN MCINTOSH, City Attorney 411 West Ocean Boulevard, 9th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802-4664 recommendation of the Cultural Heritage Commission, the City Council of the City of Long Beach hereby designates the Berg Office Building located at 822 W. Willow Street as a historic landmark based on satisfying significance criteria “B” and “C”, as defined in the City’s Cultural Heritage Commission Ordinance (Long Beach Municipal Code, Section
2.63.050). The designation of the Berg Office Building located at 822 W. Willow Street as a local historic landmark has been codified in Section 16.52.2400 of the Long Beach Municipal Code.
A. Basis for Recommendation:
1. Property Description. The Berg Office Building is a one-story commercial building constructed in 1961 in the International Style designed by Killingsworth, Brady & Smith (KBS). The building sits on a concrete pad foundation and has a flat roof. The building’s front elevation features two vertical concrete panels, which extend from the building’s cantilevered roof to the ground, and a centered single wood entry door. The concrete panels are placed vertically along the front façade, are nearly the full height of the building, and connect to the roof overhang. The entry door is centered between two concrete panels and recessed under the building’s roof line. Large floor to ceiling windows connect the concrete panels top the front entry door to create a “U” shaped window system. The entry door is a standard pedestrian height but appears taller, due to the matching metal panel centered above that gives the appearance that the door extends to the roof of the building.
2. Significance.
a. Architectural Design. Multiple character defining
architectural features are found on the front elevation, including the concrete pathway leading to the recessed front door, the elongated silhouette of the entry door, and the vertically-oriented panels and windows, which are consistent with the architectural body of work produced by

OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DAWN MCINTOSH, City Attorney 411 West Ocean Boulevard, 9th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802-4664 Killingsworth, Brady & Smith. Multiple character defining architectural features are found on the rear elevation, including the enclosed landscaping area, the elongated silhouette of the entry door, and the reed screening supported by a vertically-oriented wood frame on both sides and are also consistent with the architectural body of work produced by Killingsworth, Brady & Smith. The exterior of the building retains many of its original character-defining features. Some of the exterior alterations include changes in landscaping, the addition of security lighting, and the addition of metal security doors at both entrances.
b. Historical Background. The building is
recommended for designation under Criterion B of the Landmark findings which involve finding the building to be associated with significant persons in the City Edward A. Killingsworth, FAIA and associated with the Berg Office Building designed in 1960 by the Long Beach based firm Killingsworth, Brady & Smith. While the subject building does not have the grandeur of many of his other works, the building does illustrate many of Killingsworth’s signature architectural features that define his buildings. The building embodies several visual architectural features, building scale and building proportions that have become significant features associated with the firm’s body of work.
Wallace G. Berg operated a local C.P.A. firm in Long Beach until 1981 when he retired. Wallace Berg commissioned Killingsworth to design this building and one other building in Long Beach. Over the course of his professional tenure, Berg commissioned two buildings by Edward Killingsworth, including this building on Willow Street. Therefore its significance extends through its use as the offices of Wallace G. Berg, Certified Public Accountant.
B. Rational for historic landmark designation. The City Council finds that relative to the designation of the Berg Office Building located at

OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DAWN MCINTOSH, City Attorney 411 West Ocean Boulevard, 9th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802-4664 822 Willow Avenue as a historic landmark, the following criteria are manifested as set forth in the Long Beach Municipal Code Section 2.63.050 based upon the following:
“B.” It is associated with the lives of persons significant in the City's past. The Berg Office Building is associated with Edward A.
Killingsworth, Fellow of the American Institute of Architects (FAIA) who is one of Long Beach’s most preeminent architects whose work has marked the Long Beach visual landscape over several decades. This particular building is an example of Killingsworth’s early commercial commission produced from his architectural firm of Killingsworth, Brady & Smith (KBS), and incorporates distinct characteristics of Killingsworth and his firm’s designs at the turn of the 1960s. The building is significant because it captures a period of Killingsworth’s work in which Killingsworth and KBS began to transition out of their firm from residential transition into hospitality, multi-family, education, and civic architecture in the mid-1960s. “C.” It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or it represents the work of a master or it possesses high artistic values. The building represents the work of master architect Edward A. Killingsworth, FAIA during a short-but-significant period of the architect’s career after the launch of the firm KBS and prior to Killingsworth’s more significant larger commercial projects. The short but significant transitional period allowed KBS to experiment stylistically by applying many of the architectural features and stylings associated with KBS and Killingsworth to these commercial buildings. This particular building reflects many of the features that came to define the architectural aesthetic associated with Killingsworth and KBS on a very small-scale building.

E. No exterior changes to the building shall be allowed unless an approved Certificate of Appropriateness has been applied for by an applicant and is issued by the City authorizing such environmental change.

PRESCRIBED BY CHAPTER 2.63 OF THE LONG BEACH

OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DAWN MCINTOSH, City Attorney 411 West Ocean Boulevard, 9th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802-4664 recommendation of the Cultural Heritage Commission, the City Council of the City of Long Beach hereby designates the F.W. Rehbock House located at 3305 E. 1st Street as a local historic landmark based on satisfying significance criteria “B” and “C”, as defined in the City’s Cultural Heritage Commission Ordinance (Long Beach Municipal Code, Section 2.63.050). The designation of the F.W. Rehbock House located at 3305 E. 1st Street as a local historic landmark has been codified in Section 16.52.2410 of the Long Beach Municipal Code.
A. Basis for Recommendation:
1. Property Description: The F.W. Rehbock House is a
single-family residential building constructed by Miner Smith in 1924.
Situated on a prominent corner lot, the unique building was constructed in the Craftsman architecture style but has American Foursquare features.
The two-story building features scalloped wood shingle siding on the upper walls and horizontal wood planks on the lower walls. A wide horizontal mounted wood trim wraps around the building and separates the two sidings. The house features a variety of wood windows with decorative sills and trims and the side elevation features a large bay window. The building originally featured a wraparound porch which was enclosed at some point, but the ornate porch columns and railing remain visible. Miner Smith’s custom molding remains on the inside of the main story of the house in addition to the original brass accent switch plates and toggle “dolly” switches. The distinct features characterized by Miner Smith’s designs are evident on the building.
2. Significance: This building was designed and built by Miner Smith who was a local artisan builder of bungalows in the 1920’s. He specialized in in custom, high-quality bungalows and called them bungalow mansions and built over 23 houses in Long Beach. Miner Smith was known for constructing his bungalows with elaborate architectural detail.

OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DAWN MCINTOSH, City Attorney 411 West Ocean Boulevard, 9th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802-4664 Original homeowners, Frederick William and Clara Rehbock were prominent and active members of the Long Beach community and were Long Beach business owners. Fred was an avid aviator and owned a large hangar at the Long Beach Airport, the F.W. Rehbock Hangar, later renamed the “Lewis Aviation Service-FW. Rehbock.” Fred frequently held and hosted events such as the Air Circus that showcased state-of-the-art planes and flying stunt shows with notable figures. In addition to hosting community events, Fred participated in flight testing. He spent time with licensed marine navigator Alfred Knutson and together they flew a Scarab engine biplane across the country to experiment with a new air navigation system. In 1932, the Rehbocks sold the hangar to P.T. Adams of the US Naval reserve to form a charter service to the entirety of the United States, Mexico, and Canada under the name International Fly Service, sparking a new generation of aviation related events.
B. Rational for historic landmark designation:
The City Council finds that relative to the designation of the F.W.
Rehbock House located at 3305 E. 1st Street as a local historic landmark, the following criteria are manifested as set forth in the Long Beach Municipal Code Section 2.63.050 based upon the following:
“B” It is associated with the lives of persons significant in the City’s past.
The subject single-family residence retains sufficient integrity to convey its significance with a period of significance from the time of construction in 1924 through the occupation of Frederick and Clara Rehbock, prominent and active members of the Long Beach who contributed significantly to aviation in Long Beach, circa 1956; and
“C” It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or it represents the work of a master or it possesses high artistic values.

OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DAWN MCINTOSH, City Attorney 411 West Ocean Boulevard, 9th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802-4664 The structure was designed and built by local Long Beach artisan builder, Miner Smith. The structure reflects the distinctive craftmanship and artistic detailing unique to Miner Smith. While Miner Smith went on to build homes in other areas in Southern California, the homes he built in Long Beach are unique to Long Beach and built during a period of growth and expansion in the City. This structure is unique as the earliest known commission of Miner Smith to build a house in Long Beach.

B. The Standards are incorporated herein by this reference and shall be used as the authoritative guidelines for reviewing and approving any proposed exterior work on the building.
C. The provisions of this Resolution shall regulate the building’s exterior walls and other external features. There shall be no restrictions on the building’s interior.
D. Original historic fabric on the exterior of the building shall be executed in a matter that does not materially impair in an adverse manner those physical characteristics of the structure that account for its designation as a City landmark.

OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DAWN MCINTOSH, City Attorney 411 West Ocean Boulevard, 9th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802-4664 Code Section 2.63.050 based upon the following:
“A” It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of the City’s history.
The subject property possesses a significant character, interest, and value attributable to the development and growth patterns of the City of Long Beach. The property reflects the expansion from central Long Beach into the areas purchased by Henry Huntington, in the early 20th century and platted in 1920. The subject property was one of the original single-family residences constructed in Belmont Shore and reflects the type of notable Revival-style residences that populated the area. Belmont Shore expanded as Long Beach reached its height after the oil boom, as industry expanded, and scores of people flocked to the area.
“C” It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or it represents the work of a master or it possesses high artistic values.
The building is a good example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture with some Monterey Revival elements. The building is capped with a side-gabled, shallow-sloped roof of Spanish tile, and decorated with various other Spanish Colonial revival detailing. An original second floor balcony of painted milled wood supported by large brackets and accessed by multi-light French doors adorns the second floor, a typical element in Monterey Revival style architecture. The arched first floor focal window portion of the façade is crowned by a line of four scallop-type arches that buttress the overhanging second floor.

OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DAWN MCINTOSH, City Attorney 411 West Ocean Boulevard, 9th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802-4664 recommendation of the Cultural Heritage Commission, the City Council of the City of Long Beach hereby designates the Royal Hotel Building located at 622-628 E. Anaheim Street as a local historic landmark based on satisfying significance criteria “A” and “C”, as defined in the City’s Cultural Heritage Commission Ordinance (Long Beach Municipal Code, Section 2.63.050). The designation of the Royal Hotel Building located at 622-628 E. Anaheim Street as a local historic landmark has been codified in Section 16.52.2440 of the Long Beach Municipal Code.
A. Basis for Recommendation:
1. Property Description: The two-story commercial
building was constructed in 1929. The building sustained damage during the Long Beach earthquake and was rebuilt in the Art Deco architectural style. The building features a stucco façade and decorative vertical structural elements and a series of three ground-level storefronts. The relatively elaborate western end of the second-story northern façade serves as a focal point for the building. Three second-story steel casement windows punctuate the more heavily massed exterior, each situated beneath and separated by stepped formations. The ground level is comparatively austere and includes a commercial window assembly, a non- descript entry door, and a series of visible anchor bolts.
2. Significance: The building has a strong association with the growth of Anaheim Street, as a commercial corridor and the expansion of the City due to increased mobility. The building is also a distinctive example of an Art Deco style building that carries many of the hallmark features of the architectural style including smooth, stuccoed exterior walls; low-relief ornamental details; geometrical decorative elements; a truncated false tower; and a general emphasis on verticality. The building is recommended to be named the Royal Hotel building. The name recognizes the building’s original construction as a hotel and recognizes the Royal

B. Rational for historic landmark designation:
The City Council finds that relative to the designation of the Royal Hotel Building located at 622-628 E. Anaheim Street as a local historic landmark, the following criteria are manifested as set forth in the Long Beach Municipal Code Section 2.63.050 based upon the following:
“A” It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of the City’s history.
The building possesses a significant value attributable to the development of Long Beach. Built in 1929 and remodeled in 1933, the art Deco-style hotel and commercial building at 628 E. Anaheim Street possesses a strong association with the types of auto-oriented and commercial development that occurred in the Anaheim corridor in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
“C” It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or it represents the work of a master or it possesses high artistic values.
While available evidence did not identify the architect responsible for this Art Deco-style building’s design, the building does feature many of the hallmark characteristics of the style, including smooth, stuccoed exterior walls; low-relief ornamental details; geometric decorative elements; a truncated false tower; and a general emphasis on verticality. Further, it is one of the most intact examples left within the area and is a good example of Art Deco-style commercial architecture.
Section 5. General guidelines and standards for any changes.
A. Any maintenance, repair, stabilization, rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, conservation, or reconstruction work proposed for the building shall be conducted in a manner consistent with the “Secretary

B. The Standards are incorporated herein by this reference and shall be used as the authoritative guidelines for reviewing and approving any proposed exterior work on the building.

Any such work must be done in keeping with the building’s historic character, period, and architectural style.
E. No exterior changes to the building shall be allowed unless an approved Certificate of Appropriateness has been applied for by an applicant and is issued by the City authorizing such environmental change.

The designation of the property located at 645 West 11th Street as a local historic landmark has been codified in Section 16.52.2430 of the Long Beach Municipal Code.
A. Basis for Recommendation:
1. Property Description: The two-story single-family home was built in 1911 in the Swiss-Chalet Craftsman architectural style with a cast stone foundation. The building is clad in horizontal clapboard siding.
The cross-gabled roof is clad in composition shingles. The front-facing gable is framed by barge board and accented with decorative cross-shaped details. Additionally, the front-facing gable is accented with a projecting wide band which rests upon triangulated kneed braces and course fish scale shingles. The front primary entrance is raised and accessed via a covered wood porch with cast concrete stairs. The primary entrance consists of a wood door that is assumed to have glazing flanked by sidelights. The porch is sheltered by a projecting bay which rests upon trios of boxed wood columns with cross-braces that are similar to traditional Japanese joinery.
2. Significance: This building is one of the earliest
buildings in the former Willmore City founded by William Willmore. The subject property’s significance also rises to the state level, as it is a strong example of this early settlement and the residences form this period in the state’s history, and clearly reflects a specific event, notably the move to seaside resorts that marled an important moment in Southern California history. This property embodies distinctive characteristics of the Eclectic-

B. Rational for historic landmark designation:
The City Council finds that relative to the designation of the McMullen House located at 645 West 11th Street as a local historic landmark, the following criteria are manifested as set forth in the Long Beach Municipal Code Section 2.63.050 based upon the following:
“A” It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of the City’s history.
The building is significant as one of the earliest buildings in the Willmore City founded by William Willmore. The Knoll Park tract is significant as one of the earliest tracts laid out in Long Beach. The building is a strong example of this early settlement and the residences from this period in the state’s history and clearly reflects a specific event, notably the move to seaside resorts that marked an important moment in Southern California history.
“C” It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or it represents the work of a master or it possesses high artistic values.
The building is a high-style example of Eclectic Craftsman architecture dating to the early 20th century. Character defining features of the style are intact, including the cross-gable roof, clapboard siding, porch, expose rafter tails, projecting bays, cross-bracing, and decorative cross detailing that identify the property as a Craftsman with Swiss Chalet influence.

A. Basis for Recommendation:
1. Property Description: The Powell House is a two-story, single-family residence constructed in 1937 in the Colonial-Revival architectural style. The side-gabled roof, with dormers, is clad in wood shingles. The lower level of the building is clad in smooth textured stucco and the upper floor is clad in wide, horizontal clapboard siding. A prominent brick chimney is located on the southern façade of the building. The central entrance is raised and accessed via a cast concrete with brick veneer entry porch. The primary entry door is accented with an elaborate wood surround with pedimented lintel.
2. Significance: The building is associated with a period in history that involved the discovery of oil in Long Beach. The building was constructed in the 1930s, when little construction occurred, due to World War II preparations. The building is a unique example of the Colonial Revival style designed by Long Beach master architect Kenneth Wing. The building is recommended to be recognized as the Powell House. The name recognizes Percival J. Powell who hired the noted Long Beach architect Kenneth Wing to design the building. Powell also lived at the residence for multiple decades.

OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DAWN MCINTOSH, City Attorney 411 West Ocean Boulevard, 9th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802-4664 The City Council finds that relative to the designation of the Powell House located at 830 Santiago Avenue as a local historic landmark, the following criteria are manifested as set forth in the Long Beach Municipal Code Section 2.63.050 based upon the following:
“A” It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of the City’s history.
Little residential construction occurred in the late 1930s, as a result of the Great Depression and World War II preparations. The subject property was constructed in 1937 and reflects the small real estate boom that was generated by new discoveries of oil in Long Beach in 1936. “C” It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or it represents the work of a master or it possesses high artistic values.
The subject property embodies those distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type and is the work of a local noted architect. As an individually significant example of the Colonial Revival style, the building showcases the primary character-defining features of the style, including massing, roof configuration, materials, entry, and window and door treatment.
The building possesses many of the character-defining features of Colonial- Revival style architecture, including oval window, symmetrical façade with central focal point (primary entryway), and brick accents. Additionally, the building retains integrity as the exterior is unaltered. The building also possesses design elements, such as the Monterey-Revival style balconette on the rear façade, that reflects Kenneth S.

OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DAWN MCINTOSH, City Attorney 411 West Ocean Boulevard, 9th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802-4664 recommendation of the Cultural Heritage Commission, the City Council of the City of Long Beach hereby designates the Craig House located at 953 Chestnut Avenue as a local historic landmark based on satisfying significance criteria “A”, “B”, and “C”, as defined in the City’s Cultural Heritage Commission Ordinance (Long Beach Municipal Code, Section 2.63.050). The designation of the Craig House located at 953 Chestnut Avenue as a local historic landmark has been codified in Section 16.52.2450 of the Long Beach Municipal Code.
A. Basis for Recommendation:
1. Property Description: The Craig House is a two-story residence constructed in 1903 in the Queen Anne architectural style. The subject property is associated with early contactor and Long Beach builder Robert J. Craig. Craig’s extensive career in early Long Beach included numerous single-family residences, apartment buildings, and municipal buildings. The building retains character defining features such as an irregular roofline with boxed eaves, a side-gabled roof system with dormers and a turret. The turret features a bell-curved pyramid roof. The second- floor walls feature pedimented dormers accented with coursed fish scale shingles. The exterior of the building is clad in horizontal shiplap with shiplap foundation skirting and a band board at the water line.
2. Significance: The building is one of the earliest
examples of Queen Anne Architecture in the Drake Park Willmore City historic district. This building is also recommended based on its architectural style and early association with contractor and developer Robert J. Craig.
B. Rational for historic landmark designation:
The City Council finds that relative to the designation of the Craig House located at 953 Chestnut Avenue as a local historic landmark, the following criteria are manifested as set forth in the Long Beach Municipal

OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DAWN MCINTOSH, City Attorney 411 West Ocean Boulevard, 9th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802-4664 Code Section 2.63.050 based upon the following:
“A” It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of the City’s history.
The development of 953 Chestnut Avenue reflects the history of Willmore City relative to early settlement, and eventually Long Beach as the “Seaside Resort”, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that attracted people from Los Angeles and the surrounding area, as well as those from across the country. The property strongly conveys the early settlement of the immediate area.
“B” It is associated with the lives of persons significant in the City’s past.
The Craig House is associated with early contractor and Long Beach builder Robert J. Craig’s extensive career in early Long Beach included numerous single-family residences, apartment building, and municipal buildings. Craig built the original Long Beach City Hall, which was later demolished in 1920. The subject property, which was constructed by Craig and in which he resided for close to 40 years, best represents Craig’s productive life.
“C” It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or it represents the work of a master or it possesses high artistic values.
The Craig House is a high-style example of Queen Anne architecture dating to the early 20th century. Character-defining features of the style are intact, including the steeply pitched complex roof, shiplap exterior, turret, dormers, fish scale detailing, and original wood windows. This property embodies distinctive characteristics of the Queen Anne style type, early 20th century, and possess high artistic value.
