Spanish Period
Spanish explorers made sailing expeditions along the coast of southern California between the mid-1500s and mid-1700s. In search of the legendary Northwest Passage, Juan Rodríquez Cabríllo stopped in 1542 at present-day San Diego Bay. With his crew, Cabríllo explored the shorelines of present Catalina Island as well as San Pedro and Santa Monica Bays. Much of the present California and Oregon coastline was mapped and recorded in the next half-century by Spanish naval officer Sebastián Vizcaíno. Vizcaíno’s crew also landed on Santa Catalina Island and at San Pedro and Santa Monica Bays, giving each location its long-standing name.

The Spanish crown laid claim to California based on the surveys conducted by Cabríllo and Vizcaíno (Bancroft 1885; Gumprecht 1999). See Continuation Sheet.

More than 200 years passed before Spain began the colonization and inland exploration of Alta California. The 1769 overland expedition by Captain Gaspar de Portolá marks the beginning of California’s Historic period, occurring just after the King of Spain installed the Franciscan Order to direct religious and colonization matters in assigned territories of the Americas. With a band of 64 soldiers, missionaries, Baja (lower) California Native Americans, and Mexican civilians, Portolá established the Presidio of San Diego, a fortified military outpost, as the first Spanish settlement in Alta California. In July of 1769, while Portolá was exploring southern California, Franciscan Fr. Junípero Serra founded Mission San Diego de Alcalá at Presidio Hill, the first of the 21 missions that would be established in Alta California by the Spanish and the Franciscan Order between 1769 and 1823.

Mexican Period
A major emphasis during the Spanish Period in California was the construction of missions and associated presidios to integrate the Native American population into Christianity and communal enterprise. Incentives were also provided to bring settlers to pueblos or towns, but just three pueblos were established during the Spanish Period, only two of which were successful and remain as California cities (San José and Los Angeles). Several factors kept growth within Alta California to a minimum, including the threat of foreign invasion, political dissatisfaction, and unrest among the indigenous population. After more than a decade of intermittent rebellion and warfare, New Spain (Mexico and the California territory) won independence from Spain in 1821. In 1822, the Mexican legislative body in California ended isolationist policies designed to protect the Spanish monopoly on trade, and decreed California ports open to foreign merchants (Dallas 1955).

Extensive land grants were established in the interior during the Mexican Period, in part to increase the population inland from the more settled coastal areas where the Spanish had first concentrated their colonization efforts. Rancho San Vicente y Santa Monica, where the project site is located, was granted by Governor Juan Alvarado to Francisco Sepulveda in 1838.

The Rancho encompasses present day Santa Monica, Brentwood, Mandeville Canyon, portions of the Santa Monica Mountains, and parts of West Los Angeles (Hoffman 1862: 63).

During the supremacy of the ranchos (1834–1848), landowners largely focused on the cattle industry and devoted large tracts to grazing. Cattle hides became a primary southern California export, providing a commodity to trade for goods from the east and other areas in the United States and Mexico. The number of nonnative inhabitants increased during this period because of the influx of explorers, trappers, and ranchers associated with the land grants. The rising California population contributed to the introduction and rise of diseases foreign to the Native American population, who had no associated immunities.

American Period
War in 1846 between Mexico and the United States precipitated the Battle of Chino, a clash between resident Californios and Americans in the San Bernardino area. The Mexican-American War ended with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, ushering California into its American Period.

California officially became a state with the Compromise of 1850, which also designated Utah and New Mexico (with present-day Ariz ona) as U.S. Territ ories (Waugh 2003).

Horticulture and livestock, based primarily on cattle as the currency and staple of the rancho system, continued to dominate the southern California economy through 1850s. The Gold Rush began in 1848, and with the influx of people seeking gold, cattle were no longer desired mainly for their hides but also as a source of meat and other goods. During the 1850s cattle boom, rancho vaqueros drove large herds from southern to northern California to feed that region’s burgeoning mining and commercial boom. Cattle were at first driven along major trails or roads such as the Gila Trail or Southern Overland Trail, then were transported by trains when available. The cattle boom ende d for southern California as neighbor states and territories drove herds to northern California at reduced prices.

Operation of the huge ranchos became increasingly difficult, and droughts severely reduced their productivity (Cleland 2005).

In 1874 Benjamin Davis Wilson, owner of a portion of the Rancho San Pasqual, negotiated a deal with Daniel Berry from Indiana. Berry, like many Americans at the time, was caught up in the concept of Manifest Destiny and sought land in the west with his fellow farmers from Indiana. He hoped to cultivate the warm climate crops that were not possible to grow in his home state. Berry secured a deal with Wilson for a portion of the Rancho San Pasqual and immediately surveyed and subdivided the property into 100 parcels. Quick development of the parcels and the establishment of a water conveyance system made the area conducive to farming and development. By 1875, the name Pasadena was chosen for the area. Growth and development continued rapidly in Pasadena and by 1880 the population had reached 383.

Growth and development continued in Pasadena throughout the 1880s and like other areas of Southern California, Pasadena experienced a land speculation boom. The land speculation boom was a result of the development of the railroad in Southern California and cities like Pasadena saw increases in land values with land selling for $1,000 per acre in 1886. The boom of the 1880s gave way to huge property subdivisions and population increases in Pasadena, as evidenced by the fact that more than 400 new buildings were constructed during this time(Grimes 2010; O’Conner 1993).

During the 1880s, Pasadena also became a desirable destination and greatly benefited from the tourism industry and grew to support temporary visitors. Events like the Tournament of Roses parade and East-West football game, which began in 1902 as the first of its kind in the nation introduced visitors to a mild winter climate and the beauty of the city. By 1900, Pasadena was supporting approximately 60,000 visitors during the winter months. The once agricultural community quickly became a tourist destination, which led to the development of the commercial center, but also the hotel industry and other supporting service industries for seasonal visitors (HRG 2007; O’Conner 1993).

In addition to becoming a tourist destination, advancements in transportation including rail and trolley lines, made Pasadena a desirable place to live outside of the city of Los Angeles.

Although the population boom precipitated the need for residential buildings, it also created a need for a more substantial commercial district in Pasadena. Colorado Boulevard became the main commercial thoroughfare with subsequent development on streets intersecting Colorado Boulevard like Fair Oaks Avenue and Raymond Avenue (Grimes 2010; HRG 2007).

By the 1890s, the population of the City reached 4,882 and expansion from the central city core led to development in all directions. Population increases and continued increases in tourism led to expanded cultural and social services in the city including an opera house, firehouse, and public library. The most remarkable institutions from the 1890s however, were the Tournament of Roses in 1890 and California Institute of Technology in 1891 (which became Caltech). Transportation also improved greatly during the 1890s with the electric streetcar service from Los Angeles to Pasadena established in 1895. The social and technological growth of the City in the 1890s led to the annexation of East Pasadena in 1904 and North Pasadena in 1906 (Grimes 2010; HRG 2007; O’Conner 1993).

Architectural history development patterns in Pasadena ran parallel to the population growth and development going on in the late 1800s. By the 1880s, large mansions began to emerge and prominent architects began to design homes for the wealthy residents of the City. One of the most significant movements of the time seen in Pasadena is the Arts and Crafts Movement, which dominated the architectural development of Southern California for years to come. Leading the movement in Pasadena were Charles and Henry Greene, who revolutionized the architectural development of Southern California with their high style California Bungalows. Population growth and development also warranted a switch in Pasadena from only single-family residential living to higher density urban options. Pulling from the traditions of Greene and Greene, the Bungalow Court emerged to meet the growing housing needs of Pasadena. The Bungalow Court became a modern for middle class architecture throughout Southern California and provided DRAFT

solutions to housing issues for many years to come (Grimes 2010; HRG 2007; Makinson 1977).

Technology was also increasingly important at the turn of the century and Pasadena like other cities saw the influence of the motor vehicle start to change the City’s landscape and development. Pasadena embraced the automobile and by 1915 there was one automobile for every four residents of the City, which was significantly higher than other cities in the United States. Growing dependency on automobiles led to major thoroughfares like Colorado Boulevard developing to support the new industry with numerous car dealerships and related services.

Infrastructure projects also began during the early years of the twentieth century with large- scale projects like the Colorado Street bridge in 1913, which connected the east and west sides of the Arroyo Seco. Subsequent road constructions and bridge constructions continued in the 1920s and 1930s to support the influx of people to Pasadena and California (HRG 2007; O’Conner 1993).

Like other cities in the 1920s, Pasadena saw another population boom. The population of the city began the decade at 45,000 and ended the decade in 1930 with a population of 76,000.

Pasadena’s development at this time was largely influenced by the City Beautiful Movement and this period of growth led to the erection of the City Hall building. As seen in the previous population boom, Pasadena also experienced cultural expansion during this time with the erection of the Pasadena Playhouse in 1925 and the Rose Bowl Stadium in 1922. Despite these grand additions to the City in the 1920s, the City was also effected by the Great Depression and experienced a brief economic downturn. The Great Depression marked a slower economic period in Pasadena, but the city favored well in comparison to other cities throughout California. One of the hardest hit industries in Pasadena at the time was the tourism industry, as many people lacked the money for extravagant vacations and resorts. By the late 1930s the tourism industry was devastated and most of the resort hotels and amenities were closed (O’Conner 1993).

Although the post-war and depression years marked a bleak time in American history, the shift in architectural design during this period forever changed the American landscape. The work of early Modernists like Richard Neutra and Rudolph M. Schindler set the stage for Modernism to grow in Los Angeles with their use of International Style. The International Style combined economical materials, forward thinking and innovation. Important architects like Irving Gill, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Harwell Hamilton Harris made significant contributions to the Modernist movement in California (HRG 2007; O’Conner 1993).

The importance of innovation and forward thinking worked well for Pasadena once the United States entered World War II. Resort era hotels remaining in the city were conve rted to military
functions and with Caltech and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) research and development going toward the war effort, Pasadena was revived. Innovation and forward thinking also became a huge factor in the housing market once the war concluded as there was an influx of returning soldiers who required housing. Government agencies like the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) provided instructions for developers and builders for the best ways to deal with the population boom. They stressed the importance of proper planning, mass produced materials, and small house types. Following the war, these ideas were heavily implemented throughout the United States.

Victory in World War II also ushered in a new era of hope and prosperity for the United States and from an architectural perspective, designers and architects embraced this optimism and saw it as a chance to move design forward. The focus on economical materials started by the early Modernists had a resurgence, as did the mass production of materials perfected during the war years. The other factor that became so important was the relationship between the automobile and commercial and residential living. New technologies and population increases made automobiles more prevalent than ever, and architectural development moved ahead, making Pasadena a key location for these modern movements (HRG 2007).

In the 1940s and 1950s, new industries including manufacturing and science companies came to the city, the population continued to boom, and the city developed at a rapid speed. Culture remained a high priority in Pasadena during this time of growth and development with the Pasadena Playhouse and the Pasadena Art Museum. However, this growth and development came with a host of logistical problems as the city began to run out of space and experienced major issues with traffic congestion. For these reasons, many industries felt they could no longer grow and expand in Pasadena and they sought land elsewhere.

The City of Pasadena responded to this industrial exodus with the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce in 1959 and the formation of a redevelopment agency. Attracting new forms of business was key for Pasadena and the first step in preserving the vast historical resources of the city. The primary business district moved east of Fair Oaks and Colorado leaving the downtown full of empty storefronts and dilapidation. The older portions of the city constructed pre-1929 experienced high levels of white flight, where middle-income families moved out and low-income families moved in. In 1969, the Pasadena Art Museum of Modern Art (now the Norton Simon Museum of Art) opened while the renowned Pasadena Playhouse closed and was sold at auction (HRG 2007; City of Pasadena 2019).

Pasadena began to experience a period of economic revitalization at the start of the 1970s.

Plans were made for the construction of the Foothill and Long Beach Freeways that would link Pasadena to other major freeways to the east, west, and south. Old Pasadena was slated for demolition in 1971 under the city’s Central District Improvement Plan despite strong opposition to save it. Groups like the Pasadena Development Agency and Pasadena Heritage worked to protect the architectural history of the city, including Old Pasadena, and bring back economic stability. Large corporations began to relocate their headquarters to Pasadena.

Development restarted with the construction of the Conference Center, the Plaza Pasadena Mall, condominiums, office space, and commercial buildings. In 1979, the city passed the Urban Conservation Overlay Zone, which saved the historic structures of Old Pasadena from demolition (City of Pasadena 2019; Old Pasadena 2016).

Between 1980 and 1990, the population of Pasadena increased by 11% and with the increase in population came a surge in development and ethnic diversity. In 1980, a charter amendment approved by voters changed Pasadena’s election system to district only elections allowing for more diversity in the local government. In 1993, the Board of Directors changed their name to the City Council and a mayor was elected on a rotating basis from the senior City Councilmembers. Throughout the 1990s, Pasadena continued to experience civic beautification campaigns including the 1993 Old Pasadena Streetscape and Alleyways Project. Newly installed parking meters in Old Pasadena and a borrowed $5 million payed for the construction of new sidewalks, street furniture, trees, and lighting. The city turned the alleys info functional walkways that granted easy access to restaurants and shops. Old Pasadena boomed and encouraged other business districts to install parking meters in order to finance public improvements.

In 2002, the Los Angeles County Metro’s Gold Line reopened Pasadena for rapid transit.

High-density condominiums began to be constructed throughout the city, which only increased the city’s population (Shoup 2018; City of Pasadena 2019; Old Pasadena 2016).

Developm
ent History of Green Street
In the 1880s Colorado Boulevard was the main commercial thoroughfare in Pasadena. Running parallel to, and one block south of Colorado Boulevard was a six block long street named East and West Kansas Street. Kansas Street began at Vernon Avenue to the west and ended at North Marengo Avenue to the east. The buildings located on East Kansas Street were primarily single-family dwellings, with multiple buildings located on the same large lot. The buildings located on West Kansas Street were a combination of residential and commercial buildings.

By 1888, the western end of Kansas Street had several commercial properties including a hardware store, tin shop, upholstering shop, and offices. The 1894 Sanborn Map shows the construction of the Hotel Green at the corner of East Kansas and South Raymond Avenue. During DRAFT

this period, Colorado Boulevard was almost entirely developed, resulting in new commercial development to the north and south (Sanborn 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890, 1894).

By 1903, East and West Kansas Street was renamed East and West Green Street and extended to seven blocks from North Pasadena Avenue to the west and North Euclid Avenue to the east. At the eastern end of the street, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and Southern Pacific Company ran through East Green Street and both had stops at the lumberyard located on Green Street between South Raymond Avenue and South Broadway. The Hotel Green continued to expand and the amount of commercial and residential properties along Green Street had almost doubled since 1888. The 1931 Sanborn Map shows Green Street as extending 24 blocks from North Orange Grove to the west and South Hill Avenue to the east. Development of commercial, residential, and institutional properties continued to grow and by this time, Green Street had established itself as its own commercial district. This district continued to expand during the 1950s with the majority of open lots being filled in and density increasing (Sanborn 1903, 1910, 1931, 1951).
740-750 East Green Street (1963)
Historic aerial photographs and maps indicate that throughout the course of its history, this building has largely retained its original scale and massing. For instance, in the 1952, 1953 and 1956 aerials, the property at 740-750 East Green Street displays a thin rectangular building. By 1964, the building is replaced by the current building, which is consistent with its 1963 date of construction. (NETR 2019; UCSB 2019).

Archival research found that Lane and Schlick originally designed the building for Rosay Investments Corporation in 1963. City Directory research, indicates that the building was an office building throughout its history with multiple tenants, addresses, and suite numbers.

City Directory and map research lists the following tenants from the 1960s until 2019: Sherwin Williams Paint Company; Paine, Webber, Jackson, and Curtis; and Thomas R Capehart. Subsequent years in City Directories show that the building continued to change tenants including Remax; Triecta Fit; Fred Astaire; and A1A Topsoil in more recent years.

Architectural Style: Corporate Modern (1955-1970)
The Corporate Modern Style is stylistically linked to the International Style, as such the two style’s history is intricately linked. Corporate Modernism came to the United States in the 1930s after gaining popularity in Germany, Holland and France through architects such as Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The style soon spread to the United States in the 1930s, due in part to Henry-Russell Hitchcock and Philip Johnson’s 1932 book titled The International Style: Architecture Since 1922 for the New York Museum of Modern Art’s exhibition. In their book, Hitchcock and Johnson introduced the term International and identified the three principles as architecture as volume, regularity, and avoiding the application of ornament. These three principles have been the baseline for American International Style architects such as Richard Neutra and Philip Johnson. The style became very popular in the mid-20th century in almost all forms of architecture, using precise and universal materials and techniques that allowed the style to be used anywhere in the world.

The most common application was as the corporate office, creating walls of glass with sharp angles located in the downtowns of many cities.

Characteristics of the Corporate Modern Style:
• One- to three-stories in height
• Square and rectangular building footprints with open interior floor plans • Asymmetrical facades with simple cubic forms and strong right angles • Horizontally oriented rectangular boxes
• Flat roofs with flush parapet or cantilevered overhang • Tower over a parking podium, often screened
• Use of concrete, brick, steel, stucco and glass as exterior materials • Lack of exterior ornamentation
• Design dictated by steel framing system with vertical fins or louvers • Fenestration includes ribbon windows, corner windows, or glass curtain walls Architect: Lane and Schlick, AIA (1922-1988, 1926-2010) Howard Raymond Lane was born on October 13, 1922 in Illinois. During World War II, Lane served in the Third Armored Division of the United States Army in Europe. After the war ended, he returned to Illinois to study architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) under renowned architect Mies van der Rohe. Lane graduated IIT in 1947 and worked for a short time as a draftsman for Skidmore, Ownings and Merrill in Chicago. A year later Lane moved to Los Angeles, California and worked as a draftsman for Martin and Associates and later as a Project Architect for Pereira and Luckman until 1952. In 1953, Lane established his own architectural firm, the Lane Architectural Group based in Woodland Hills, California. Within the next year, Lane met architect Edward Ray Schlick and the two formed a partnership under the name Lane and Schlick, AIA.

Schlick was born on July 6, 1926 in Los Angeles. After spending two years in the Navy, he graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in architecture in 1953. Schlick and his wife Fran moved to Studio City in 1953 when he began practicing with Lane. The firm was prolific around the Los Angeles area and designed a wide range of buildings including residences, commercial buildings, educational institutions, medical centers, and religious buildings. Lane and Schlick practiced for nine years and moved offices in 1962 into 15840 Ventura Boulevard in Encino. In 1963, the firm changed names from Lane and Schlick, AIA to Howard R. Lane, AIA and Associates due to Schlick moving to Ivanhoe, Texas and opening his own firm with seven partners named Octagon Associates in the early 1970s. Lane died on November 3, 1988 in Santa Monica. He was a fellow of the American Institute of Architects, 1959 president of the Architects of San Fernando Valley, and 1977 president of the California Council of AIA. Schick continued to practice architecture until a month before his death in 2010 (LAT 1962a, 1963, 1988; VT 1959; VTD 2010; archINFORM 2019).

A sample of Lane and Schlick’s known work is included below (LAT 1962; archINFORM 2019; LAC 2019):

Significance Evaluation
NRHP/CRHR Statement of Significance
The property located at 740-750 East Green does not meet any of the criteria for listing in the NRHP or CRHR, either individually or as part of an existing historic district.

Criterion A/1: That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.

Archival research did not find any associations with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history. The subject property was completed in 1963, during the period of commercial and institutional growth along Pasadena’s Green Street and prior to a period of economic downturn that came with the end of the 1960s.

The property was constructed as an office building which hosted multiple tenants throughout its history, beginning with Rosay Investments Corporation. Although the property is broadly representative of the city’s mid-century growth, it has no direct association with events that have made a significant contribution to the history of the City of Pasadena, the State of California, or the Nation. Therefore, the property does not appear eligible under Criterion A of the NRHP or Criterion 1 of the CRHR.

Criterion B/2: That are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

Archival research did not indicate that any previous property owners or people who have worked at this property are known to be historically significant figures at the national, state, or local level. As such, this property is not known to have any historical associations with people important to the nation’s or state’s past. Furthermore, to be found eligible under B/2 the property has to be directly tied to an important person and the place where that individual conducted or produced the work for which he or she is known. This property does not appear to be associated with any individual’s important historic work and does not appear eligible for the NRHP under Criterion B or CRHR under Criterion 2.

Criterion C/3: That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and dis tinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction.

Building 1 is a modest example of a Corporate Modern office building designed by Los Angeles-based architectural firm Lane and Schlick, AIA in 1963. It displays several design elements associated with the Corporate Modern architectural style, which is linked stylistically to the International Style. The Corporate Modern style became popular in the mid-20th century in almost all forms of architecture, using precise and universal materials and techniques that allowed the style to be used anywhere in the world. Building 1 includes the following characteristics of the Corporate Modern style: three-stories in height, rectangular building footprint with open interior floor plan, asymmetrical facade with simple cubic forms and strong right angles, horizontally oriented rectangular boxes, flat roof with flush parapet, use of concrete, brick, steel, and glass as exterior materials, lack of exterior ornamentation, design dictated by steel framing system with vertical fins or louvers, fenestration includes glass curtain walls. Lane and Schlick, AIA was prolific around the Los Angeles area and designed a wide range of buildings including residences, commercial buildings, educational institutions, medical centers, and religious buildings during the 1950s and 1960s. Despite the building’s ability to convey the most basic elements of the Corporate Modern style of architecture, Building 1 does not stand as a distinctive or important example of the style and does not represent the work of a master architect. For these reasons, 740-750 East Green Street does not appear eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion C or CRHR under Criterion 3.

Criterion D/4: That have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

The property is not significant under Criterion D of the NRHP or Criterion 4 of the CRHR as a source, or likely source, of important historical information nor does it appear likely to yield important information about historic construction methods, materials or technologies.

Pasadena Statement of Significance
The City of Pasadena’s landmark designation criteria is based on the NRHP/CRHR designation criteria and integrity requirements, Therefore, for all of the reasons identified in the discussion of NRHP and CRHR eligibility, the subject property does not appear eligible under any local designation criteria, either individually or as part of a district.

Integrity Discussion
Building 1 maintains integrity of location, as it remains in its original location. The building retains integrity of design as it has not undergone any large-scale exterior alterations since its construction and maintains the essential features of form, plan, space, structure, and style. The building retains integrity of setting, upon its construction the majority of East Green Street had already been developed with commercial properties and this has not substantially changed since 1963. The building maintains integrity of materials and workmanship due to the retention of the physical elements that date from its construction.

Several windows and a set of doors on the north elevation were replaced over time but the majority of the building’s original materials are existant. The building also retains integrity of feeling and association, where the property retains the ability to express itself as an office building constructed in the 1960s. In summary, while the building retains the requisite integrity for designation, it does not rise to the level of significance required for designation at the national, state or local levels. *B12.

Spanish Period
Spanish explorers made sailing expeditions along the coast of southern California between the mid-1500s and mid-1700s. In search of the legendary Northwest Passage, Juan Rodríquez Cabríllo stopped in 1542 at present-day San Diego Bay. With his crew, Cabríllo explored the shorelines of present Catalina Island as well as San Pedro and Santa Monica Bays. Much of the present California and Oregon coastline was mapped and recorded in the next half-century by Spanish naval officer Sebastián Vizcaíno. Vizcaíno’s crew also landed on Santa Catalina Island and at San Pedro and Santa Monica Bays, giving each location its long-standing name.

The Spanish crown laid claim to California based on the surveys conducted by Cabríllo and Vizcaíno (Bancroft 1885; Gumprecht 1999). See Continuation Sheet.

A major emphasis during the Spanish Period in California was the construction of missions and associated presidios to integrate the Native American population into Christianity and communal enterprise. Incentives were also provided to bring settlers to pueblos or towns, but just three pueblos were established during the Spanish Period, only two of which were successful and remain as California cities (San José and Los Angeles). Several factors kept growth within Alta California to a minimum, including the threat of foreign invasion, political dissatisfaction, and unrest among the indigenous population. After more than a decade of intermittent rebellion and warfare, New Spain (Mexico and the California territory) won independence from Spain in 1821. In 1822, the Mexican legislative body in California ended isolationist policies designed to protect the Spanish monopoly on trade, and decreed California ports open to foreign merchants (Dallas 1955).

The Rancho encompasses present day Santa Monica, Brentwood, Mandeville Canyon, portions of the Santa Monica Mountains, and parts of West Los Angeles (Hoffman 1862: 63).

California officially became a state with the Compromise of 1850, which also designated Utah and New Mexico (with present-day Ariz ona) as U.S. Territ ories (Waugh 2003).

Horticulture and livestock, based primarily on cattle as the currency and staple of the rancho system, continued to dominate the southern California economy through 1850s. The Gold Rush began in 1848, and with the influx of people seeking gold, cattle were no longer desired mainly for their hides but also as a source of meat and other goods. During the 1850s cattle boom, rancho vaqueros drove large herds from southern to northern California to feed that region’s burgeoning mining and commercial boom. Cattle were at first driven along major trails or roads such as the Gila Trail or Southern Overland Trail, then were transported by trains when available. The cattle boom ended fo r southern California as neighbor states and territories drove herds to northern California at reduced prices.

Operation of the huge ranchos became increasingly difficult, and droughts severely reduced their productivity (Cleland 2005).

Historical Overview of Pasadena
Like many cities in the San Gabriel Valley, the City of Pasadena’s history is linked to the Mission San Gabriel and the subsequent privatization of ranchos once owned by the Mission in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. By 1827, the Mission ranchos began to be sold off and developed independent of the Mission. The first rancho sold was Rancho San Pasqual in 1827, followed by Rancho Santa Anita and Rancho San Rafael. Portions of these three ranchos would later become the City of Pasadena.

In 1874 Benjamin Davis Wilson, owner of a portion of the Rancho San Pasqual, negotiated a deal with Daniel Berry from Indiana. Berry, like many Americans at the time, was caught up in the concept of Manifest Destiny and sought land in the west with his fellow farmers from Indiana. He hoped to cultivate the warm climate crops that were not possible to grow in his home state. Berry secured a deal with Wilson for a portion of the Rancho San Pasqual and immediately surveyed and subdivided the property into 100 parcels. Quick development of the parcels and the establishment of a water conveyance system made the area conducive to farming and development. By 1875, the name Pasadena was chosen for the area. Growth and development continued rapidly in Pasadena and by 1880 the population had reached 383.

In addition to becoming a tourist destination, advancements in transportation including rail and trolley lines, made Pasadena a desirable place to live outside of the city of Los Angeles.

Technology was also increasingly important at the turn of the century and Pasadena like other cities saw the influence of the motor vehicle start to change the City’s landscape and development. Pasadena embraced the automobile and by 1915 there was one automobile for every four residents of the City, which was significantly higher than other cities in the United States. Growing dependency on automobiles led to major thoroughfares like Colorado Boulevard developing to support the new industry with numerous car dealerships and related services.

Like other cities in the 1920s, Pasadena saw another population boom. The population of the city began the decade at 45,000 and ended the decade in 1930 with a population of 76,000.

The importance of innovation and forward thinking worked well for Pasadena once the United States entered World War II. Resort era hotels remaining in the city were converted to military functions and with Caltech and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) research and development going toward the war effort, Pasadena was revived. Innovation and forward thinking also became a huge factor in the housing market once the war concluded as there was an influx of returning soldiers who required housing. Government agencies like the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) prov
ided instructions for developers and builders for the best ways to deal with the population boom. They stressed the importance of proper planning, mass produced materials, and small house types. Following the war, these ideas were heavily implemented throughout the United States.

to the city, the population continued to boom, and the city developed at a rapid speed. Culture remained a high priority in Pasadena during this time of growth and development with the Pasadena Playhouse and the Pasadena Art Museum. However, this growth and development came with a host of logistical problems as the city began to run out of space and experienced major issues with traffic congestion. For these reasons, many industries felt they could no longer grow and expand in Pasadena and they sought land elsewhere.

Pasadena began to experience a period of economic revitalization at the start of the 1970s.

In 2002, the Los Angeles County Metro’s Gold Line reopened Pasadena for rapid transit.

High-density condominiums began to be constructed throughout the city, which only increased the city’s population (Shoup 2018; City of Pasadena 2019; Old Pasadena 2016).

Project Site History
Development History of Green Street
In the 1880s Colorado Boulevard was the main commercial thoroughfare in Pasadena. Running parallel to, and one block south of Colorado Boulevard was a six block long street named East and West Kansas Street. Kansas Street began at Vernon Avenue to the west and ended at North Marengo
Avenue to the east. The buildings located on East Kansas Street were primarily single-family dwellings, with multiple buildings located on the same large lot. The buildings located on West Kansas Street were a combination of residential and commercial buildings.

By 1888, the western end of Kansas Street had several commercial properties including a hardware store, tin shop, upholstering shop, and offices. The 1894 Sanborn Map shows the construction of the Hotel Green at the corner of East Kansas and South Raymond Avenue. During this period, Colorado Boulevard was almost entirely developed, resulting in new commercial DRAFT

development to the north and south (Sanborn 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890, 1894).

By 1903, East and West Kansas Street was renamed East and West Green Street and extended to seven blocks from North Pasadena Avenue to the west and North Euclid Avenue to the east. At the eastern end of the street, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and Southern Pacific Company ran through East Green Street and both had stops at the lumberyard located on Green Street between South Raymond Avenue and South Broadway. The Hotel Green continued to expand and the amount of commercial and residential properties along Green Street had almost doubled since 1888. The 1931 Sanborn Map shows Green Street as extending 24 blocks from North Orange Grove to the west and South Hill Avenue to the east. Development of commercial, residential, and institutional properties continued to grow and by this time, Green Street had established itself as its own commercial district. This district continued to expand during the 1950s with the majority of open lots being filled in and density increasing (Sanborn 1903, 1910, 1931, 1951).
770-784 East Green Street (1956)
Historic aerial photographs and maps indicate in the 1952, 1953, 1956 aerial photographs, the property at 770-784 East Green Street displays three small structures running north to south along th e length of the property. The 1964 aerial ph otograph displays the replacement of these structures with a square plan commercial building, which is consistent with the 1956 date of construction listed on the original building permit. (NETR 2019; UCSB 2019).

Archival research found that architect William Leo Rudolph originally designed the two-story office building, called the Wilhite Building in 1956 for the Wilhite Trust of which F. Dane Wilhite was the trustee. The 11,400 square foot building and the land cost $200,000 and featured a large decorative panel of Italian tile veneer (Figure 4). Research indicates that the Prudential Insurance Company were the first tenants of the building upon its completion (LAT 1955b). Archival research, including City Directory research, indicates that the building was an office building throughout its history with multiple tenants, addresses, and suite numbers. City Directory entries for the property lists the following tenants for the office building: Prudential Insurance Company of America; Mitchum, Jones, and Templeton Incorporated, and State Farm. Subsequent years in City Directories show that the building continued to change tenants frequently.

The most common application was as the corporate office, creating walls of glass with sharp angles located in the downtowns of many cities.

The main difference between Corporate Modern buildings and their predecessors was a lack of exterior support of solid masonry. They often depended on a metal interior skeleton and utilized the curtain wall to clad walls in glass. This dependency on the metal frame resulted in windows hung in repeating patterns and brought another level of order to these already stripped down buildings.

mathematics, generating rectangular curtail wall designs displaying strong roots in the philosophy of the Bauhaus. This movement incorporated simple and precise designs and incorporated mass-produced materials such as concrete, steel, and glass paired with functionality in design (SFPD 2010; McAlester 2015; HRG 2007).

Characteristics of the Corporate Modern Style:
• One- to three-stories in height
• Square and rectangular building footprints with open interior floor plans • Asymmetrical facades with simple cubic forms and strong right angles • Horizontally oriented rectangular boxes
• Flat roofs with flush parapet or cantilevered overhang • Tower over a parking podium, often screened
• Use of concrete, brick, steel, stucco and glass as exterior materials • Lack of exterior ornamentation
• Design dictated by steel framing system with vertical fins or louvers • Fenestration includes ribbon windows, corner windows, or glass curtain walls Architect: William Leo Rudolph (1923-1981)
William L. Rudolph was an American architect born in Los Angeles on September 25, 1923. He attended college at the University of California Berkley for architecture. Little is known about Rudolph’s early life and career. He is known to have practiced architecture between the 1960s and 1980 in Southern California specifically in the Los Angeles and Pasadena areas.

Rudolph was head of the Los Angeles firm William L. Rudolph and Associates, which was known for their ability to design resorts that reflect the character of the area where they are located and their environmental settings. The firm’s most well-known commissions were the Acapulco Princess resort in Mexico and the Southampton Princess in Bermuda. Rudolph died in Los Angeles in 1981 (DS 1974; AIA 1962).

A sample of William L. Rudolph’s known work is included below (LAT 1962c, 1972):

Criterion A/1: That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.

Archival research did not find any associations with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history. The subject property was completed in 1956, during the period of commercial and institutional growth along Pasadena’s Green Street and prior to a period of economic downturn that came with the end of the 1960s. The property was constructed as an office building, which hosted multiple tenants throughout its history beginning with Prudential Insurance Company.

Although the property is broadly representative of the city’s mid-century growth, it has no direct association with events that have made a significant contribution to the history of the City of Pasadena, the St ate of California, or the Nation.

Therefore, the property does not appear eligible under Criterion A of the NRHP or Criterion 1 of the CRHR.

Criterion B/2: That are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

Furthermore, to be found eligible under B/2 the property has to be directly tied to an important person and the place where that individual conducted or produced the work for which he or she is known. This property does not appear to be associated with any individual’s important historic work and does not appear eligible for the NRHP under Criterion B or CRHR under Criterion 2.

Criterion C/3: That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant
and distinguishable entity whose components may lack
individual distinction.

Building 2 is a modest example of a Corporate Modern office building designed by Los Angeles-based architect William Leo Rudolph in 19 56. It displays several design elements associated with the Corporate Modern architectural style, which is linked stylistically to the International Style. The Corporate Modern style became popular in the mid-20th century in almost all forms of architecture, using precise and universal materials and techniques that allowed the style to be used anywhere in the world. This building includes the following characteristics of the Corporate Modern style: two-stories in height, rectangular building footprint with open interior floor plan, asymmetrical facade with simple cubic forms and st rong right angles, horizontally oriented rectangular boxes, flat roof with flush parapet, use of brick, steel, and glass as exterior materials, lack of exterior or namentation, design dictated by steel framing system with vertical fins or louvers, fenestration includes glass curtain walls and ribbon windows. Rudolph is known to have practiced architecture between the 1960s and 1980 in southern California specifically in the Los Angeles and Pasadena area. Building 2 is not a distinctive or important example of the Corporate Modern style, nor is it the work of a master architect. Additionally, the building has unde rgone several altera tions since its cons truction including replacement of windows and doors on the north elevation (date unknown), the addition of 6,000 square feet of office (1960), and reroofed (1987).

Integrity Discussion
Building 2 retains integrity of location, as it remains in its original location. The building does not retain integrity of design due to several large-scale exterior alterations including the addition of 6,000 square feet of office space in 1960 and the replacement of several windows and doors on the main elevation on an unknown date. The essential features of form, plan, space, structure, and style have not all been retained. The building retains integrity of setting, upon its construction the majority of East Green Street had already been developed with commercial properties and this has not substantially changed since 1956.

The building does not retain integrity of materials and workmanship due to the lack of retention of the physical elements that date from its construction from subsequent alterations. The building no longer retains integrity of feeling and association, where the property retains the ability to express itself as an office building constructed in the 1950s. In summary, while the building does not re tain the requisite integrity for designation, it does not rise to the level of significance required for designation at the national, state or local levels.
