FROM: Administration Division, Community Development Department SUBJECT: Community Development Department Financial Review RECOMMENDATION:

That Finance Committee receive a presentation from staff on the Community Development Department’s programs and services, including sources of funding, expenditure analysis, and other operational topics.

DISCUSSION:

On June 14, 2022, the Finance Committee received a presentation from Finance staff regarding the Fiscal Sustainability Initiative. Finance staff presented an overview of a number of budgetary and financial challenges that the City has faced in recent years. In order to address these fiscal challenges in the long-term, staff initiated a Fiscal Sustainability Initiative to develop recommendations and solutions to ensure the City continues to meet the needs of the Santa Barbara community now and for many years to come. The objectives of this initiative are to identify and assess options that will increase revenues, create efficiencies, eliminate redundancies, and make continual process improvements that may ultimately reduce costs.

As part of the Fiscal Sustainability Initiative, the Community Development, Parks & Recreation, and Library departments, and possibly other departments, are scheduled to provide informational presentations to the Finance Committee.

At this first Fiscal Sustainability Initiative departmental presentation, the Community Development Department will provide information on the programs and services provided by the department, how they are funded, which priorities are fully funded, and which ones are legally mandated versus discretionary functions, among other topics.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

There is no budgetary or financial impact associated with this item.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: August 23, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Treasury Division, Finance Department
SUBJECT: Waive Penalties For Business License Tax Remittances During The Transition To The New System [Resolution]
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council adopt, by reading of title only, a Resolution Authorizing the Finance Director to Waive Penalties for Business License Tax Remittances from January 2023 Through March 2023.

DISCUSSION:

The Treasury Division of the Finance Department oversees business license tax collections for the City. In an effort to modernize and enhance customer service, streamline processes, and reduce paper and costs, staff is working with Avenu MuniServices, LLC (“Avenu”) to provide the local business community more flexibility and online payment options. On May 3, 2022, the City Council authorized the Finance Director to execute an agreement with Avenu for tax and license administration services. Staff anticipates the new program administration and online tools to be available in December 2022, with the ability of accepting credit cards for tax remittances to occur in January 2023.

Currently, registered businesses file their tax remittances to the City annually during the month of their annual anniversary of the initial filing. This monthly remittance process has been advantageous for City staff managing the program by spreading out the workload of processing remittances over the year; however, it has also caused some communication challenges with some businesses confirming when their remittances are due to the City.

Through this project implementation, staff will be adjusting the timeframe for when businesses are to file their annual remittance to be consistent for all businesses by January 31 each year. Staff anticipate a higher rate of compliance being achieved with consistent messaging and businesses benefiting from their tax remittance occurring in line with their Agenda Item No. 6
File Code No. 210.01
Council Agenda Report
Waive Penalties For Business License Tax Remittances During The Transition To The New System [Resolution]
August 23, 2022

other calendar year tax and other filings. Santa Barbara Municipal Code Section 5.04.170 contemplates renewal payments of the annual business license tax occurring in January.

Staff anticipate that the initial change in remittance filing as proposed will cause some confusion with businesses which may cause delays in filing. Municipal Code Section

5.04.180 considers taxes not paid by the due date as delinquent, and Section 5.04.320 requires that penalties be accrued until the taxes are remitted to the City. Staff is requesting the City Council’s authorization to waive any penalties that may accrue during the 3 months following the program implementation, in order to provide relief for businesses that may accrue penalties during the transition period. Santa Barbara Municipal Code Section

5.04.780 authorizes the City Council to adopt by resolution rules and regulations for the administration of business licenses.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

When the business license tax is not paid by the due date, the taxpayer incurs a 10% penalty at the beginning of each month the tax is not paid, up to 100% of the tax due, and it is applied to their outstanding balance. Once paid, penalties are recorded as additional business license tax revenue to the City’s General Fund. The City does not typically budget for penalties in the annual budget as the vast majority of businesses are compliant and remain in good standing. The City’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 General Fund operating budget did not include any revenue directly associated with penalties; therefore, no revenue loss is anticipated by waiving penalties during this transition period.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: August 23, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Administration Division, Community Development Department SUBJECT: Amendments To Professional Services Agreements For Permit, Plan Check, And Inspection Services [Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:

A. Authorize the Community Development Director to execute the second amendment to increase the amount of Santa Barbara City Agreement No. 26978 with Bureau Veritas North America, Inc., by $130,000, for a total contract amount of $595,000, to provide permit, plan check, and inspection services; and B. Authorize the Community Development Director to execute the second amendment to increase the amount of Santa Barbara City Agreement No. 26979 with Interwest Consulting Group, by $60,000, for a total contract amount of $235,000, to provide permit, plan check, and inspection services.

DISCUSSION:

Thorough and timely building permit plan reviews and inspection services help the community establish and maintain a safe, accessible, and healthy built environment. In order to provide appropriate service levels with acceptable turnaround time for permit, plan check, and inspection services of the State’s Title 24 Building Standards and local amendments, the use of contract services is necessary to address periods of increased demand as well as unanticipated staffing shortages.

Contract building and safety program services are key to maintaining building permit program services for customers. These services prevent and reduce building permit plan check backlogs, expedite the plan check processes according to City priorities, and can provide other program services (management, inspections, permit counter staff, etc.) that improve the customer’s experience. These contract services will be used both to temporarily fill City staff vacancies and to supplement the services offered by City staff.

Agenda Item No. 8

Amendments To Professional Services Agreements For Permit, Plan Check, And Inspection Services [Agreement]
August 23, 2022

The Building and Safety Division has experienced sustained vacancy rates of 20 to 30 percent during all of Fiscal Year 2022 and continues to experience recruiting challenges in Fiscal Year 2023. Backfilling Building Inspector vacancies with contract services and using contract plan check services has exhausted available contract amounts and driven the demand for increased contract services.

The recommended Bureau Veritas North America, Inc., contract amendment includes $130,000 for contract services to the Building and Safety Division. The recommended Interwest Consulting Group contract amendment includes $60,000 for contract services to the Building and Safety Division. The contract amendment amounts are summarized by funding source in the Budget/Financial Information section below.

The Building and Safety Division has an established working relationship with both Bureau Veritas North America, Inc., and Interwest Consulting Group. Both vendors have demonstrated expertise in the field, met promised turnaround times, and delivered a quality work product. Authorizing the recommended contract amendments will allow the Building and Safety Division to continue to provide timely, professional service while working through a period of high vacancy.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

The recommended contract amendments are funded from existing appropriated expenditures in Building and Safety’s Fiscal Year 2023 General Fund Budget. Funding sources for the contract amendments are listed in the tables below.

Vendor Funding Source Amount
Bureau Veritas Existing General Fund Appropriations $130,000 Bureau Veritas Total: $130,000

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: August 23, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: City Administrator’s Office
SUBJECT: Grant Agreement With South Coast Community Media Access Center, dba TV Santa Barbara [Contract]
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council authorize the City Administrator to execute a one year grant agreement with the South Coast Community Media Access Center for management of the public, and educational access television channels in an amount of $313,100 plus an amount for public, educational and government access (PEG) capital expenditures equal to 50% of the actual PEG fees received by the City for Fiscal Year 2023.

DISCUSSION:

Since January 1, 2003, upon its formation, the South Coast Community Media Access Center, doing business as TV Santa Barbara (TVSB), has been designated by the County of Santa Barbara under its cable franchise with Cox Communications as the nonprofit entity to manage the public and educational access channels in the Santa Barbara South Coast Region. The City has maintained annual grant agreements with TVSB since that time.

The Fiscal Year 2023 adopted budget includes $313,100 in base funding for management of the public and educational access television channels in the Community Promotions program. The adopted Community Promotions budget also includes an additional amount not to exceed $120,000 for PEG capital expenditures generated from PEG fees levied on Cox Communications.

The following is a summary of the major provisions of the proposed grant agreement with TVSB for Fiscal Year 2023:

Agenda Item No. 10
File Code No. 510.04
Council Agenda Report
Grant Agreement With South Coast Community Media Access Center, dba TV Santa Barbara [Contract]
August 23, 2022

1. Term: July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023.

2. Base Funding: The City will grant TVSB quarterly advance payments of $74,525 for public and educational access support, totaling $298,100. Additionally, the City will grant $15,000 to be paid in January 2023, dedicated for support of educational access.

3. PEG Capital Funding: Under the current state video franchising law (DIVCA), PEG fees may be levied on video service providers and are limited exclusively for PEG-related capital expenditures. Ordinance No. 5786, adopted on April 18, 2017, includes a PEG fee of 1.0% of which 0.5% percent is designed to provide for capital funding to TVSB. Based on the PEG fees generated in Fiscal Year 2022, the City estimates that it will remit to TVSB approximately $120,000 in Fiscal Year 2023, to be used solely to cover capital expenditures contained in its Five Year Capital Improvement Plan.

The PEG capital funding will be paid quarterly, based on actual PEG fee collections during the previous quarter. The capital funding will be paid by PEG fees levied on Cox and, while not required to do so, Cox may elect to pass through the PEG fees to its subscribers on their cable bills.

4. Indemnification: The City will be indemnified against any and all claims and actions arising from the performance of services under the agreement. Indemnification is a standard provision in all City grant agreements, including human services and community promotions grants. All nonprofit entities receiving City grant funds are required to defend and indemnify the City from any and all claims which may arise as a result of the actions of the Grantee.

5. Insurance: The insurance provisions are standard insurance requirements for City grant recipients with the exception of the liability policy requirements. Because of the specialized nature of services provided under the agreement, this agreement requires a media and broadcaster’s liability policy. This is the same type of policy required of Cox Communications under the City’s prior franchise agreement.

6. Compliance with Laws and Regulations: The agreement states that TVSB will comply with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations with specific reference to the Ralph M. Brown Act and the Public Records Act. This language is consistent with the County of Santa Barbara’s legal compliance provisions in its operating agreement with CMAC and the previous City agreements with TVSB.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Adequate appropriations exist for the PEG fee revenue and grant agreement expenditures in the Mayor and Council budget for Fiscal Year 2023.

In 2018, the City launched the Financial Transparency Tool to provide the public with the ability of viewing the City’s budget and financial information with a user-friendly graphical interface.

On February 8, 2022, the City Council authorized the Finance Director to enter into an agreement with OpenGov, Inc. (“OpenGov”) to transition from the printed budget document to an interactive, digital budget book, which presents budget information in a more understandable way, encouraging more citizen engagement and strengthening public trust. The platform allows staff to create a more collaborative, interactive experience with heightened transparency for the public.

Both tools are accessible on the City’s Budget and Reporting webpage1.

Staff recommend expanding and leveraging the OpenGov platform and functionality further by implementing the Workforce Planning module which will allow staff to develop their department budgets in a more streamlined, systematic, and repeatable way and 1 Budget and Reporting Website: https://santabarbaraca.gov/finance/budget-reports Agenda Item No. 13

more easily create scenario analyses that will save time over current calculation methods.

It will also allow for a more centralized platform with departments during the budget development process as it integrates with the City’s current financial management system and eventually into the online budget book.

Staff also recommends implementing the OpenGov Multi-Workflows module that will allow the City to streamline performance management processes and retire a legacy database. This effort will involve developing a more strategic set of key performance indicators (KPIs) that will be used to measure and track performance of department services and initiatives. Included in the effort will be the integration of performance management within the budget process. The end result will be better transparency to the public using an online, interactive tool.

Staff will continue to assess ways in which the OpenGov platform can replace other databases for the City, such as the Capital Improvement Plan database, in the future as well as replace static reports with interactive, dynamic, online reports, such as the Measure C Annual Accountability and Capital Improvement Plan reports.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

Staff recommends implementing the Workforce Planning and Multi-Workflows modules for the upcoming FY2024-2025 financial plan and FY2024 operating and capital budget which will be published in April 2023. The FY2023 Finance Department adopted budget includes implementing the Workforce Planning module as a planned project for FY2023; however, implementing the Multi-Workflows module for the performance measurement initiative was not a planned project for FY2023. Adequate expenditure appropriation exists in the FY2023 Finance Department adopted budget and in the General Fund appropriated reserves to fund both of these projects.

The Workforce Planning module is $67,437 for the annual license and $23,495 for professional consulting services to assure correct application setup and full integration with the City’s financial system and online budget book. The Multi-Workflows module is $25,000 annual license and $10,545 for professional consulting services to support proper training and implementation. The City will receive a credit of $39,663 for the unused portion of the reporting and transparency license for FY2022. The amended agreement through August 2023 is not to exceed $174,025, necessitating an increase of $56,583.Staff has negotiated an agreement for a one-year term and will plan to extend it in future fiscal years.

Staff anticipate many hours could be reduced and diverted to other activities, such as budgetary analysis or quality control, as a result of efficiencies. There will also be expenditure savings in printed document costs for paper, printer toner, and other items.

It is anticipated that many more staff hours could be diverted across all departments in future years as additional process and reporting efficiencies are achieved once the systems have been fully utilized and integrated.

Council Agenda Report
Execute Agreement Extension With OpenGov, Inc., For Workforce Planning And Performance Measurement [Contract]
August 23, 2022

Staff will ensure that the Finance Department’s FY2024 and future fiscal year proposed budgets will include the necessary expenditure appropriations to implement all OpenGov modules, which will require funding from all City departments to proportionately fund a share of the total cost of the platform.

SUSTAINABIILTY AND RESILIENCE IMPACT:

Implementing this project is in line with greater sustainability and resilience goals of the City through leveraging technology to disseminate information to a broad audience and minimizing the use of paper and other materials.

A copy of the agreement is available for public review in the Finance Department by contacting Keith DeMartini, Finance Director, at [email protected].

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: August 23, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Planning Division, Community Development Department SUBJECT: Designation Of Casa De Cuatro Vistas As A Landmark [Resolution] RECOMMENDATION:

That Council adopt, by reading of title only, a Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Designating Casa De Cuatro Vistas at 1201 Las Alturas Road as a Landmark.

DISCUSSION:

Background
Pursuant to City Charter Section 817.a., the Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC) has the power and duty to “recommend to the City Council that certain structures, natural features, sites or areas having historical, architectural, archaeological, cultural, or aesthetic significance be designated as a Landmark.” Santa Barbara Municipal Code (SBMC) Section 30.200.080.A.1 further grants the HLC the authority to adopt resolutions recommending that the City Council designate Landmarks. Santa Barbara has two levels of historic resources, Landmarks and Structures of Merit. City Council designates Landmarks, as it is the highest distinction given to a historic resource in the City of Santa Barbara and demolition is prohibited. Designation as a Landmark confers honor and recognition on structures contributing to the City’s unique historical and architectural traditions. The determining factors of a City Landmark Designation are: the importance of the resource to the community, the level of integrity of the resource, and its degree of rarity. Landmarks are often associated with an important architect and person in addition to being an important example of architecture. Structures of Merit are designated by the Historic Landmarks Commission and represent more common historic buildings that line the City’s streetscapes.

In addition, this HLC recommendation to the City Council provides an opportunity to meet a goal identified in the City’s General Plan Historic Resources Element, specifically Policy HR8 which calls for the continued identification, documentation, and designation of individual historic resources.

Agenda Item No. 14
File Code No. 640.06
Council Agenda Report
Designation Of Casa De Cuatro Vistas As A Landmark [Resolution] August 23, 2022

Recommendation of Casa De Cuatro Vistas
The property at 1201 Las Alturas Road sits on a hill on the Riviera with a lot size of 2.56 acres with a one-story 6,188 square-feet main house constructed in 1919, a detached mid-century modern style studio built in 1959, a detached guest house cottage built in 1965, and a detached 3-car garage building with three sets of doors built in the 2006. The site is characterized by Santa Barbara sandstone walls; including pier and cap walls, a Japanese pagoda and mature trees.

The property owner of Casa De Cuatro Vistas submitted to staff a nomination for their property to be designated as a Landmark. At their meeting on March 1, 2022, the HLC Designation Subcommittee reviewed the nomination, prepared by Fermina Murray, State of California Registered Professional Historian No. 585 and Local Consultant Historian, and recommended the nomination with revisions to the HLC for consideration. At the public hearing on March 16, 2022, the HLC continued the item with a request for a more detailed site plan, more photographs of all building elevations with a photo key and more documentation of alterations made to the main house since 1919.

At the June 8, 2022 public hearing, the HLC reviewed the nomination evidence of the history and significance of the buildings and elements on the site and determined that the resource qualifies for two of the five criteria to qualify as a Landmark under SBMC Section 30.157.025: specifically, it is associated with the lives of persons significant in the City’s past, and it embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, architectural style or method of construction, or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic or historic value, or represents a significant and distinguishable collection whose individual components may lack distinction (Attachment 1 and 2 – Historic Significance Report, photos with site plans and elevations). On June 8, 2022, the HLC voted 6/1/0 in favor of adopting a resolution recommending that City Council designate the resource as a Landmark (Attachment 4 – HLC Resolution 2022-01). The proposed designation boundary includes the entire parcel to allow for adequate review of any site changes for compatibility with the Landmark. Commissioner Lenvik opposed the motion as he could not make the finding that the building was eligible as a Landmark due to the alterations on the building, and found it was more appropriate to designate the resource as a Structure of Merit.

History of Casa De Cuatro Vistas
One of Santa Barbara’s most influential architects, Carleton Monroe Winslow, FAIA, designed Casa de Cuatro Vistas in 1919 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The Spanish Colonial Revival Style became an important part of Santa Barbara’s heritage in the 1920s when the City deliberately transformed its architecture and look into a romantic Spanish Colonial Revival/Mediterranean style city.

Not only is the main house architecturally significant, but the site has significant landscape elements and a small mid-century modern studio that contribute to the significance.

Council Agenda Report
Designation Of Casa De Cuatro Vistas As A Landmark [Resolution] August 23, 2022

Winslow, FAIA, purposefully placed the main house among large oak tree groves and on the hill of the Riviera to take advantage of the four views (Cuatro Vistas) that include the ocean and the mountains. Locally quarried, native Santa Barbara sandstone walls, railings, pillars and tables characterize the property and give landscape distinction and artistry.

The property’s small studio that is tucked behind the main house among an oak tree grove is an excellent example of mid-century modern architecture designed in 1959 by local architectural firm of Edwards and Pitman. The design of the studio showcases the midcentury modern’s clean, minimalist aesthetic; an emphasis on bringing the outdoors in with large walls made of windows; and the presence of angular structures.

In addition, the property had four owners that made significant contributions to Santa Barbara including; Henry L. Hitchcock, Ina Campbell, MacKinley and Frances Hammond Helm and John E. Gillespie (detailed in the Historic Significance Report.) Conclusion
Casa De Cuatro Vistas is worthy of joining the elite list of Landmarks, which are considered the most important resources contributing to the city’s unique historical and architectural repertoire. There is sufficient evidence on record supporting the qualifications for Landmark status and for the adoption of a resolution designating it accordingly, as it qualifies for Landmark criteria 2 and 3 outlined in SBMC Section 30.157.025.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

There are no budget impacts to the City for designating Casa De Cuatro Vistas as a landmark.

6 Property description: The 1201 Las Alturas Road property, parcel number APN 019-113-024, consists of 2.56 acres of land, a one-story 6,188 square-feet main house constructed in 1919, a detached guest house cottage built in 1965, a detached mid-century modern style studio built in 1959, and a detached 3-car garage building with three sets of doors built in the 2006. The site is characterized by Santa Barbara sandstone walls; including pier and cap walls, a Japanese pagoda and pond and several mature trees.

Main House, 1919
The property, named Casa de Cuatro Vistas,
is located on top of the Riviera, and was
carefully situated among large old live oak
trees to take advantage of the four views.

The one-story, U-shaped house is divided
into two wings on the east and west sides,
and a central block with a courtyard. The
house is constructed of a double wall
concrete covered in stucco with a sand
texture. The gable roofs features terra cotta
tiles and stucco chimneys. The cornice and
eave details are simple with the emphasis
on the terra cotta tile that creates a
decorative edge from the roof to the wall.

The east elevation houses the main
entrance to the house featuring a deeprecessed opening with a decorative segmented arched wood plank door
topped with a window covered in wood decorative bars.

Windows covered in metal grills called rejas flank the
front entrance. There is a large fixed window on the
elevation.

The two wings and south elevation of the central
portion of the house form a courtyard facing south. The elevation facing south has a covered veranda with a
rustic tile floor and divided light French doors open out to the veranda and courtyard. One set of wood doors
has decorative wood rejas.

Windows on the house are a combination of recessed
wood casement with true divided lights and fixed single pane windows.

The character-defining features of the house include
the terra-cotta tile roofs, concrete plastered siding, the Detail of courtyard created by the U shape of Casa De Cuatro Vistas, photos taken January, February and April 2022 by Architectural & Landscape Photography Thomas Ploch Tplochproductions.Com Detail of front door. photograph taken January 2022 by

7 wood plank main door, original wood framed windows, and French doors to the veranda and to the family room.

Alterations to the 1919 Main House
Several alterations have occurred to the main house since its construction in 1919. The first documented change was done 1955 when MacKinley and Frances Helm purchased the property. They hired architect Peter Edwards, AIA to do the following changes:
1955 Alterations (See Page 2 of Attachment A. for site map and key of alterations) Rear north and west side elevations
The rear northwest side of the house was changed in 1955. A dressing room at the west side elevation was remodeled and enlarged with bathroom and cabinets.

At the northwest section of the house, an original garage with a roof deck cover was changed also in 1955. The garage was converted to a bedroom on the first floor. The roof deck was removed and replaced with a bedroom on the second floor. This second floor bedroom features a narrow balcony with stucco wrought iron railing (best seen from the west elevation). See photos of alterations pages 1-9, and Peter Edwards’ Plot floor plans.
8 East wing: south and west elevation of the living room The east side of the U-shaped covered porch by the living room was enclosed and converted into a library.

The original living room window, (east wing), south elevation facing the ocean, was changed to its present configuration of three fixed large picture windows. It is not known when the trellis arbor was built outside this living room window.

These 1955 additions contribute to the landmark designation of the 1919 Casa de Cuatro Vistas because they were constructed within the original footprint of the house. They are compatible additions that respected the character-defining features of the Santa Barbara Spanish Colonial Revival style. The changes were made by another important local architect Peter Edwards for MacKinley and Frances Helm
These 1955 alterations have acquired historic significance in their own right and shall be preserved.

They are contributing to the landmark designation.
1996 Alterations
North rear elevation
In 1996 former owners of the property, H.E. and Ann Igoe, made more changes also at the rear north side of the house. The elevation drawings by The Fine Line firm in Santa Barbara show two additions were constructed: a gabled kitchen and a gabled guest room clad with tile roofs were added to middle of the north rear side of the house. (See 1996 Elevations by The Fine Line, 2019 kitchen remodel floor plan, and photos pages).

These recent alterations extended beyond the original 1919 footprint of the house. The kitchen was changed again in 2019. The window features of the moderate sized guest room addition are not compatible with historic house. Therefore, the 1996 additions are not contributing to the landmark designation. (See floor plans, elevations, and photos pages 10-13). 1955 Alterations to the house are outlines,
they are compatible and do not negatively
impact the historic integrity of the house.
9 2019 Alterations
North rear elevation
In October 2019 the McDonough family received permits to the remodel kitchen. The work was done by Dale S. Pekarek of the The Fine Line firm.

The kitchen remodel work removed all (then existing) kitchen windows and patio door and replacing them with metal-paned windows and sliding doors. The kitchen area was enlarged with an addition of 87-square-feet to its west side. (See photos, Pekarek’s site plan, floor plan, and elevations).

For contextual understanding, please see the 1996 elevations by The Fine Line firm which show what 1996 kitchen window looked like before it was removed and replaced with the current configuration.

The 2019 kitchen remodel and addition are not contributing to the landmark designation. Although their massing, size, bulk, scale and proportion are moderate, their features are too contemporary and therefore do not contribute to the landmark designation. (See 1996 elevations, 2019 floor plan and elevations, and photos pages 10-13 showing these non-contributing parts of the landmark designation).

Non- contributing elements on the parcel include:

Detached Guesthouse constructed in 1965
The non-contributing detached guesthouse cottage was built in 1965. Not visible from the main house, it is located at the northwesterly part of the property fronting Las Alturas Road. (See the site plan).

Swimming Pool
The swimming pool at the rear north side of the house was built in 1977 during the time the Gillespie family owned and lived on the property.

Detached Garage constructed in 2006
The detached 3-car garage, located just north of the front entrance to main house, was built in 2006. 10 Historic Integrity:

As listed above, in the 103 years life of the building, few alterations and additions have occurred to the house since its construction in 1919. These changes, such as the 1955 infill of the former garage, the widening of the living room window, and an enclosure of a section of the open porch into a library are changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right and therefore contribute to the landmark designation.

The only two non-contributing
additions of a small room in 1996 and
the remodeled enlarged kitchen in
2019 are both located in the rear side
of the house and do not affect the
overall integrity of the house or the
property. Despite the alterations, the
house retains most of its original
features, and therefore rates very high
historic integrity of location, feeling,
setting, design, materials,
workmanship, and association. The
house continues to convey most of its
1919 appearance. (see historic 1924
photographs on page 25).

Studio: The Mid-century modern style studio
was designed in 1959 by the architectural firm
of Edwards and Pitman, founded by Peter
Edwards, AIA and John Pitman, FAIA in 1957.

The studio is set to the rear of the main house and behind the swimming pool in an informal, woodsy location. The building features a flat roof with wide eaves extending over the elevations that are adorned with distinctive wood finish on the underside. The exterior wall surface is a combination of stucco and expansive glass windows wrapping from the front elevation to the side elevation divided by a repeated pattern of vertical, wood structural members painted black. The windows form a glass wall under the eave, which is a mid-century modern approach to marry indoor spaces to the outside. The studio’s features decorative thin angular wood posts painted black, one perpendicularly extending from the front entrance and a series of eleven along the side elevation along the windows. The front door has a large glass panel surrounded by simple frame with a rectangular window above and two elongated rectangular windows to the north. There is a short ½ wall made of concrete reddish, blocks below the windows along
the front elevation.

the surrounding nature of the site,
welcoming nature into the studio. It has
the overall composition of “pure”
geometric forms and embodies the
following character defining features of
the mid-century modern style including
flat roofs, angular details, an asymmetrical
profile, an expansive walls of glass, and
clean lines. The north and east elevations
of the building are constructed of simple
stucco and were treated as rear elevations
that do not have the unique character
defining features as the south and west
elevations.

Integrity: The studio retains most of its
original features so that it has high historic
integrity of location, feeling, setting,
design, materials, workmanship, and
association and can convey its 1959
appearance.

Significant Site and Landscape
Features
Sandstone: The property has a
symphony of different types of
Santa Barbara sandstone stonework
including;
 large ashlar cut stone piers
with a decorative cap that

driveway
 sandstone steps
 sandstone milk box
 sandstone tables.

Perhaps the most spectacular is the
collection of carved stone steps and railings
leading to the large stone bench nestled
within the shady woods just below the
northwestern driveway. The design and
placement of the stone bench and steps
blend so beautifully into the landscape; they
appear as if they had been there for centuries.

See site plan map for location of different
types of stone piers and walls.

Integrity: The sandstone stonework on
the property retains most of its original
features so that it has high historic integrity
of location, feeling, setting, design,
materials, workmanship and association
and can convey its 1919 stonework
craftsmanship.

Japanese Pagoda: The pagoda is a
prominent structure close to the southern
boundary of the property. It was built by
Ina Campbell sometime during her
ownership of the property from 1928-
1953. It is approached by way of steppingstones across a pond. The overall height of the pagoda is approximately 21 feet. It
features a square base made of redwood
with each side measuring 65 inches.

Above this is a two story hipped roof clad
in copper on both stories of the pagoda
the roof curves upwards at the four
corners creating a “flying corner”. The
roof edges from one corner to another
curve downwards creating a deep bow
shape. The copper cladding was applied in
large sheets except for the ribs at the
corners, which are covered in overlapping
copper tiles. The structure is topped by a
tapering 4-sided steeple with a round finial at
Above and below: Sandstone bench and sandstone piers in the landscape photos taken January, February and April 2022 by Architectural & Landscape Photography Thomas Ploch Tplochproductions.Com Above and below: Japanese Pagoda photos taken January, February and April 2022 by Architectural & Landscape Photography Thomas Ploch Tplochproductions.Com
13 the top. Both steeple and finial are constructed of
copper. The redwood base features wood posts at
each corner, which rise to a height of 8 1/2 feet.

Wooden walls between the beams are 3 feet high.

Inside are two wooden benches attached to the walls
and also a small wooden semicircular table. On the
East side is an opening to enter the pagoda. On the
floor are ceramic tiles arranged in a geometric
design. The sides above the walls are open, affording
views of the ocean to the South and mountains to
the North.

No record of the pagoda’s provenance has been
found but, because of Ina Campbell’s interest in
Asian art, it was most likely commissioned by her
for the garden she was developing. Examples of this
style of roof can be found in Japan. Known as
“tahoto”, these pagodas have a lower roof which
provides shelter and an upper roof which gives the
appearance of an additional smaller story, but it is
not in fact accessible. Flying corners originated in
Asia as a means of warding off evil spirits since it
was believed that devils cannot walk over a curved
roof.

Significant Trees: There are a few significant trees
on the property that contribute to the significance
of the property.
 Live Oak Trees: The house was purposely sited
among live oak trees and there are many on the
property. Notably, there is a live oak tree grove
between the garage and the studio. There is a large
live oak tree near the gravel driveway roundabout.
 Melaleuca Tree: There is a large mature
Melaleuca tree next to the gravel driveway
roundabout.
 Podocarpus gracilior: There is a large
podocarpus gracilior next to the pagoda with ferny
leaves.

14 Integrity: The landscape has changed somewhat over
the past 103 years, but the notable Oaks and oak groves, Melaleuca Tree, Podocarpus gracilior, and the Japanese
Pagoda are significant features that remain on Casa de
Cuatro Vistas property.

Historic Significance: The Historic Landmarks
Commission found that Casa De Cuatro Vistas at 1201
Las Alturas Road meets the following two criteria listing in the Santa Barbara Municipal Code Section 30.157.
025:

Criterion #2: associations of the house with the
lives of persons significant in Santa Barbara
history.

The house is associated with the lives of many persons
of significance in Santa Barbara’s history. Prominent on the list would be Henry L. Hitchcock, Ina T. Campbell,
MacKinley and Frances Hammond Helm, and John E.

Gillespie. The following short biographical profiles of each of these important citizens show the years they
owned and occupied Casa de Cuatro Vistas. Their varied
contributions to real estate development, higher
education, formal gardening, the arts, culture, and music, cumulatively have greatly enriched the life and history of our community.

Henry L. Hitchcock: 1919-1928
Henry L. Hitchcock came to Santa
Barbara in 1918, and purchased
eight acres of land in the Riviera
from George and Mary
Batchelder. He then hired
Carleton Winslow, FAIA, a
highlyregarded architect in southern
California, to design and build a
house for him on his new property
– the home at 1201 Las Alturas
Road.

Hitchcock went on to become
associated with the Riviera Real
Estate Company, then left the
company to begin his own real estate business, where he developed large portions of land within the City. The
biggest parcels ran from the Westside of Las Positas Road Right: Melaleuca Tree next to the Roundabout. Taken

15 over to Hope Avenue, north to State Street and south to Modoc Road. Hitchcock created various subdivisions of the Garcia Heights property (tracts of land near Bishop Garcia Diego High School). He also platted Miramonte Drive and the historic Plaza Rubio tracts next to the rose garden of Mission Santa Barbara. Hitchcock was one of the directors of the Mortgage Securities Company, Inc. and he served on the City Council for two years. Hitchcock Way on upper State Street, which runs between State Street and Calle Real, is named after him.

Henry Hitchcock was married in 1895 to Grace M. Hutchinson, and they had two children, son Henry W. and daughter Mrs. Oliva Schaat, who both lived in Santa Barbara. The first owners of the subject property, the Hitchcock family owned and occupied Casa de Cuatro Vistas from 1919 to 1928. (History of Santa Barbara County, vol. one, Santa Barbara Historical Museum, Gledhill Library).

Ina Therese Allison Campbell: 1928 – 1953
Ina Therese Allison Campbell was born in Toronto, Canada to parents who became wealthy in the soap manufacturing business. She married John Campbell, an Englishman; in circa 1878 the couple moved to New York City and founded the Campbell Dye Company, a firm soon known throughout the United States. The Campbells lived within a few blocks of the Metropolitan Museum and were Photos of Casa De Cuatro Vistas just during and
after construction for Hitchcock in “Concrete”
publication in 1921.
16 active members of the Museum, the Museum of Natural History, and the New York Botanical Gardens. One can surmise that Ina Campbell spent many hours visiting the museums and gardens and training herself in the appreciation of fine art.

John Campbell died in 1905, and after his death Ina began extensive traveling around the world. She started buying art on her trips to the Orient, and became a serious collector of Asian art. She often remained abroad for several years, traveling with her own guides, companions and sometimes even on camels.

In 1916 she came to visit California and was urged to see Santa Barbara. Ina fell in love with area at first sight and soon bought property on Hixon Road in Montecito. In 1927 she bought the Las Alturas Road property. It appears to have been Mrs. Campbell who renamed the estate Loma Encinal, meaning small hillside with live oaks. The 1201 Las Alturas Road deeds of the property owners show that Ina T. Campbell was a widow when she bought Casa de Cuatro Vistas from the Hitchcock family in early 1928 (Property Ownership History, Title Deeds, provided by Emmett McDonough for this report).

Campbell was a well-known philanthropist who provided funds to support Santa Barbara College in its beginnings when it was located in the Riviera Campus. When the college was transformed into UC Santa Barbara and the new campus was built and expanded around Goleta Point, Ina Campbell was one of its largest benefactors. Campbell Hall is named the John and Ina T. Campbell Lecture Hall to honor her generosity to the campus. She also established the school’s earliest major scholarships and donated significant sums to the university for many years.

Campbell was also a key benefactress of the Santa Barbara Botanical Garden, having designed and constructed exceptional gardens on her own property, including a cactus garden and one in Asian style. She scattered numerous stone and porcelain statues of Buddha and gods throughout the property, creating a landscape that was a great favorite among the many visitors who attended Pearl Chase’s garden and home tours. Her garden’s most notable piece would have to be the stunning Japanese pagoda that sits in a quiet corner, from which visitors can admire the home’s breathtaking views.

Among Campbell’s many contributions to the Botanic Gardens of Santa Barbara, notable was her funding the construction in 1941 of the Garden’s Campbell Bridge that spanned the Mission dam.

The bridge was designed by the prominent landscape architect Lockwood de Forest, Jr. Unfortunately the County of Santa Barbara historic landmark bridge was destroyed by the Jesusita Fire on May 6, 2009. A compatible replacement bridge was built in 2013 with enthusiastic support from the community.

In 1941 the City post office was converted to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, giving an immense boost to the variety and quality of art resident in the community. Ina Campbell’s enduring legacy is her major donations to the Art Museum. A founding member of the Museum, she donated 43 Chinese paintings and sculptures, statues and wall hangings from Tibet and Thailand, and numerous other pieces, which became the foundation of the Museum’s collection of art from East Asia. The local philanthropist Wright Ludington joined Mrs. Campbell by establishing the Greek and Roman sculptures in the atrium of the building, while Campbell created the Asian Gallery in memory of her late husband. She also donated five notable paintings by the British artist John Ruskin (1819-1900), and a mountain landscape by the American painter Thomas Moran (1837-1926). After her death in 1952, at age 97, her gifts to UCSB and the Art Museum continued, as she made numerous bequests 17 of works of art to the Museum, funded its first educational curator, and gave yet more financial aid to the university.

Campbell was provided by Emmett McDonough 1/11/2022 supplemented by the Gledhill Library’s file on 1201 Las Alturas Road property, containing The Santa Barbara Daily News-Morning Press clippings, 20 August 1934, photographs, and an undated essay about Ina T. Campbell by the late beloved local journalist and historian Patricia Gardiner Cleek, 1952- 2018).

MacKinley and Frances Helm: 1955 - 1973
In 1954 the Alturas Road property was owned
by Harold and Joyce Penne, and a year later it
was sold to MacKinley Helm and his wife,
Frances Helm.

MacKinley Helm (1896-1963) was a nationally
known art critic, collector, and writer who
published eleven books. His 1941 book about the
Mexican master painters titled, “Mexican
Painters: Rivera, Orozco, Siqueiros and other
artists of the social and realist school,” is a seminal book that is still used today and is considered the
best introduction to the art and artists of Mexico
during the great artistic movements of the 1920s
– 1930s. He was reputed to have owned a broad
representation of contemporary Mexican
paintings. (Wikipedia)
MacKinley passed away in 1963, and his wife
Frances Hammond Helm continued to live in the
house for another ten years. It was during this
period that Frances donated 81 contemporary
Mexican paintings to the Santa Barbara Art
Museum. The breadth and depth of this collection established the museum’s Mexican Art Collection.

Frances Helm was one of the six children of Gardiner and Esther Fiske Hammond, a wealthy family from Boston who began to spend winters in Santa Barbara in 1908. By 1910 Esther had separated from her husband and brought the children to establish a permanent home in Santa Barbara. The family rented and eventually purchased the 7.5-acre beachfront Bonnymede Estate in Montecito from William Davidson. Within 15 years Esther Hammond bought the Bonnymede Estate along with additional property totaling some 46 acres of waterfront property in Montecito and environs.

The Hammonds had an extensive library of rare and first edition books that Frances Hammond Helm inherited and donated to the UC-Santa Barbara Library. The books formed the foundation collection of the Special Collections Department of the Library that was being created in the late 1950s. Frances 18 H. Helm lived at Casa de Cuatro Vistas until her death in 1973, when the property was acquired by another important family, John E. Gillespie and his wife Anna Gillespie.

John E. Gillespie: 1973-1989
John Gillespie, who served with great distinction as chair of the Music Department of the University of California at Santa Barbara, was born in Indiana in 1921 and received his early degrees in German and piano from DePauw University. He served in the U.S. Army in World War II, and after the war’s end he remained in Europe and studied organ for two years at the Conservatoire Nationale de Paris under the direction of the celebrated musicians Marcel Dupre and Andre Marchal. Afterward he studied at the University of Southern California, earning degrees in piano (1947) and an M.A. in musicology (1948). He won a Fulbright grant that returned him to Paris for two more years at the Sorbonne. He received his Ph.D. in musicology in 1951 from the University of Southern California.

With this rich preparation in music history and keyboard performance, Gillespie was appointed Assistant Professor of Music at the new and rapidly expanding campus of UCSB. He soon became chair of the department and continued his tireless efforts to gain for it a national and international reputation as a location welcoming to scholars, students, and performers.

He published several landmark books on keyboard music, and anthologies on European and American music for the piano. He also recorded a wide range of harpsichord music, with one memorable series of recitals including Gillespie’s playing with his colleagues concertos for one, two, three, and four harpsichords, by Johann Sebastian Bach. Given his astonishing keyboard technique and ability to read at sight almost any score, his recitals, whether solo or in collaboration with fellow faculty members, were not to be missed. On one memorable occasion Gillespie and his departmental partners found that the recital hall for a concert was not only filled to capacity, there were an equal number of hopeful listeners gathered outside. Gillespie promised them a second performance if they would remain on the grounds; the audience stayed almost intact, and reaped their reward.

Gillespie loved the teaching aspect of his job, and he was warmly admired by his generations of students. In Santa Barbara he played as the chief organist for All Saints Episcopal Church, and served as well as organist for St. George’s Anglican Church in Ventura. He and his wife Anna were cheerful and warm hosts who welcomed guests from around the world to their breathtaking home and its incomparable views from Santa Barbara’s Riviera. In this magnificent setting a small gathering would often be inspired to create an impromptu concert. (In Memoriam: Obituary Library of Congress, 2003 online)
19 Criterion #3: the house embodies distinctive characteristics of a type, period, architectural style, or method of construction; it represents the work of a master, or it possesses high artistic value or a distinguishable collection whose individualized components lack distinction.

Main House: The main house,
its unique setting, and its
landscape features embody
distinctive characteristics of a
Santa Barbara style Spanish
Colonial Revival architecture
dating to 1919. It was designed
by the work of master architect,
Carleton Monroe Winslow Sr.,
FAIA, a highly respected
architect in Southern California.

The house was constructed of
concrete that was reinforced
with twisted wire cable. The use
of twisted wire cable to
reinforce concrete was a new
construction method in 1919
according to Carleton Winslow.

The twisted wire cable later on
became known as “rebar,” the
familiar steel bar or mesh of steel
wires used in reinforced concrete
and masonry structures to
strengthen and hold the concrete
tension.

Winslow successfully integrated
the use of early rebar into the
concrete construction method of
the house. The main house meets
criterion #3 as one of the finest
examples of Spanish Colonial
Revival style houses in the City of
Santa Barbara. The studio qualifies
as part of the parcel as an excellent example of mid-century modern architecture. The guest house constructed in 1965 and the garage constructed in 2006 do not qualify to be contributing historic resources to the site.

the house as printed in “Concrete” publication in
1921.
20 The building exemplifies the Spanish Colonial Revival style that emphasizes the interplay of cubic volumes, patios, pergolas, and verandas; each interpreted and redefined by local architects or regions in their own oeuvre of the form, massing, and decorative treatments. Santa Barbara has examples of the Spanish Colonial Revival style throughout the city from the distinct commercial buildings on State Street, to large homes and estates on the Riviera, to
multi-family housing and hotels in the West Beach
neighborhood along the waterfront. This building is an
example of the Spanish Colonial Revival Style, which
became an important part of Santa Barbara’s heritage in the 1920s when the City deliberately transformed its
architecture and look from an ordinary western style
town into a romantic Spanish Colonial
Revival/Mediterranean style city. This transformation
was the result of the planning vision of a number of
Santa Barbara citizens in the early 1920s with the
founding of the Santa Barbara Community Arts
Association, which urged that the town identify its
individual character and then use planning principles to develop it.

The City’s architecture became known for the smooth
stucco walls, clay tile roofs and recessed wood windows of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, all exemplified in the house at 1201 Las Alturas. With its visual and
historical references to the City’s Spanish and
Mexican era heritage, the Spanish Colonial Revival
style particularly resonated in Santa Barbara and was
responsible for the transformation of the visual
character of the community from a Victorian era
town into an evocative celebration of
Mediterranean and Spanish inspired
architecture.

As an original building designed in
the style important to the identity of
Santa Barbara, the Spanish Colonial
Revival Casa de Cuatro Vistas employs
the following character-defining
elements of the Spanish Colonial
Revival style:
• Emphasis on expansive planer wall
surfaces;
• Gable roofs covered in terra cotta
tiles with emphasis on the terra cotta tile edge that
creates a decorative edge from the roof to the
wall;
• Square decorative windows beneath gable peaks;
Window flanking the front door with metal rejas.

21 • Windows and French Doors are recessed at the wall plane with a stucco return and no trim and windows are wood with divided lights;
• Arched front entrance opening with heavy wood door flaked by windows covered in metal rejas; and
• Expressive, tower like stucco chimneys.

Sandstone Walls: The property
also includes large ashlar cut stone
piers with decorative caps, round
rock walls capped with ashlar cut
stones, pier and cap wall, and gate
markers made of Santa Barbara
sandstone, a feature that gives the
region such distinction while
offering a surprising and pleasing
bit of artistry. Walls usually require
far less engineering compared to
bridges, so they offer more
opportunity for stonemasons to
express themselves and their
artistry in the selection, carving,
and setting of stones. Use of masonry for
construction in the Santa Barbara area dates back to
the time the Spanish arrived. Since it was necessary to travel some distance into the
woods to obtain lumber, but
rocks were found scattered on
the ground, stone became the
preferred building material. The
tradition of building with stones
continued in Santa Barbara
County through the 19th
century. This method of
construction was often chosen
because local brown sandstone
was readily available and easily
transformed from round or
shapeless boulders into
symmetrical smooth faced stone
for building purposes.

A local stonemason explained in July of 1883, “When
a quantity of it is wanted, a blast of powder is drilled into the heart of one of the large boulders
and exploded and a number of square edged building
stones are produced” (Santa Barbara Daily Press, July 1883). Many residences, walls, bridges, and commercial structures were constructed out of local sandstone during the nineteenth and early Sandstone parking and railing of Casa De Cuatro Vistas, photos taken January, February and April 2022 by

22 twentieth century. Immediately after World War I, Santa Barbara began a concerted effort to revamp its visual image. During this time, city planners carefully monitored all construction of any new structure to make sure it was consistent with the master plan that was based on Spanish Colonial Revival/Mediterranean streetscape mode (Conrad and Nelson, 1986: 14). The use of a traditional building material, sandstone, in the construction of the walls built during this period was in line with Santa Barbara’s planning and design efforts. In the years from 1870 to 1940, when Santa Barbara was quickly evolving into a vibrant, growing city, the period witnessed an extraordinary explosion of stone construction made possible by the abundant supply of sandstone, cadre of expert masons, and financing by private citizens. This period provided an atmosphere conductive to the building of public and private spaces of all kinds: walls, bridges, gardens, and an assortment of other stone works; and encouraged some exceptional expressions of the mason’s art. Among the most apparent expressions of the beauty in stone that give the region such distinction are the stone walls.

The research for this nomination did not find the names of master stonemasons who built the driveway sandstone piers, walls, pier and cap railings, and garden stone bench of Casa de Cuatro Vistas.

However, Carleton Winslow Sr., FAIA, designed the Hacienda de Peidras for Jerome Chafee in 1918.

A wonderful stone structure in Montecito, sometimes known as an elegant farmhouse or ivy-covered English cottage, Chaffee’s house was given life by stonemason Gottardo Calvi, a native of Italy. Casa de Cuatro Vistas was built only a year after Chaffee’s house. It is a likely guess that Winslow may have engaged Gottardo Calvi to construct the stone elements at Casa de Cuatro Vistas. (Images of America:

Stone Architecture in Santa Barbara, by Santa Barbara Conservancy, page 55).

As part of the landmark designation these stone elements are some of the excellent examples of stonework by Santa Barbara stonemasons who built the infrastructure of roads, walls, and bridges in the Riviera as well as the houses and gardens of private large estates in Montecito during the late 19th century to the 1940s.

Studio: MacKinley and Frances Helm, who owned and
lived on the property from 1955-1973, commissioned
architects Peter Edwards and John Pitman to design and
build the Mid-century Modern style Studio in 1959. As
mentioned, MacKinley Helm was a renowned art critic and collector of contemporary Mexican art and it is not
surprising that he would be interested in mid-20th century modern style of buildings.

The studio on the parcel is an excellent example of the midcentury modern style. World War II reversed the pattern of period designed architecture popular in the early 20th
century. The studio demonstrates the Modernist-influenced architectural style, a style that is not common in Santa Barbara. Its style is representative of a brief period in postWorld War II Santa Barbara during which architects introduced new, non-Spanish-influenced architectural
themes. Asymmetric facades, rectilinear flat roofs, metal and glass compositions with open plans, smooth wall
surfaces, and no decorative detailing characterize the midSouth elevation of the mid-century modern studio showing angular decorative posts and
expansive windows. Taken from Northeast.

23 century modern style. Creating an architectural style that took advantage of the new materials brought about by the modern industrial civilization was major goal of mid-century modern architects. Midcentury modern buildings demonstrated an innovative new style on the landscape of mid-20th -century
America. The design of the studio expresses the character defining features of Mid-century modern architecture showcasing three predominant characteristics: a clean, minimalist aesthetic, an emphasis on bringing the outdoors in, and the presence of angular structures. In the middle of the 20th century, many artists began working in an abstract style, re-imagining traditional art and pioneering a new aesthetic. This interest in abstract forms carried to the architecture of the time, as demonstrated by Mid-century modern’s minimalist appearance. Flat planes, clean lines, and little ornamentation characterize both the exteriors—which often feature monochromatic brickwork and pops of color— and the matching interiors of Mid-century modern buildings.

The spatial relationship of the Mid-century Modern style studio to the Main House was carefully planned where the Studio is not visible from the Main House. Under the Secretary of Interior’s Standards, the 1919 Santa Barbara Spanish Colonial Revival style house and the 1959 Mid-century Modern style Studio are examples of compatible, harmonious spatial relationship where two very different architectural styles of historic buildings are contained in one family residential property and therefore worthy of landmark designation.

The Master Architect of Casa de Cuatro Vistas: Carleton Monroe Winslow, FAIA Winslow, FAIA (1876 – 1946)
designed Casa de Cuatro Vistas for the
prominent and wealthy businessman
Henry Hitchcock in 1919. Winslow,
FAIA was an excellent choice as
architect given his lifelong interest in
and appreciation for the architecture
of the Mediterranean region.

Winslow, FAIA became a leader in
the movement that flowered in the
city after the 1925 earthquake to
transform Santa Barbara from a
standard American town of the
coastal west to a city displaying
imaginative and often breathtaking
Spanish styles of building, which lent
beauty, novelty, and coherence to the
community while honoring its
important Spanish past.

Winslow, FAIA, in an August 1921 Detroit
publication titled Concrete, states his design inspiration for Casa de Cuatro Vistas:

The house for H. L. Hitchcock, on top of the hilly slope called the Riviera, overlooking the City of Santa Barbara, Calif., was designed in the manner of the early Spanish houses, excepting that the construction is of concrete instead of masonry or adobe brick. The house, Photo Courtesy Dr. Pamela Post Historic
Structures/Sites Report on 2301 Santa Barbara
Street.
24 which goes by the name of Casa de Cuatro
Vistas, was carefully located among ancient
live oak trees to take advantage of the
panorama of the mountains to the north, that
of the city and distant ocean to the south and of a beautiful vista of the Rincon mountain rising out of the ocean to the east. Towards the west is a beautiful background of live oaks.

The house is U-shaped in plan with the court thus formed towards the south for the sunshine and prevailing breeze. Simple roofs covered with a reproduction of old tiles, and ample proportion of wall areas to windows, painted wood rejas or grilles, old tile floors, hewn beams, and irregular stucco and plastering complete the old California’s character, and the whole building, though it is scarcely two years old is already taking on a kindly patina of age…The color of the stucco, which was placed directly on the concrete surface, was obtained by mixing the plaster with local, colored sand until it simulated old work at the Santa Barbara Mission. (Southern California Home of H. L. Hitchcock Built of Double Wall Concrete by Carleton Monroe Winslow, FAIA, Architect, Los Angeles; Concrete: Detroit, August 1921, Vol. 19, No. 2., pp 55-62)
Carleton Monroe Winslow, Sr. FAIA, a prominent Southern California architect, maintained offices in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Winslow, FAIA was educated at the Art Institute of Chicago, and also at the Atelier Pascad and Atelier Chifflồt Frěres, in Paris, France. He acted as resident architect of the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego from 1911-1915. He started his own practice in 1913, and became a member of the Santa Barbara Municipal Architectural Advisory Board, which was established after the large 1925 earthquake destroyed many of the downtown buildings. Winslow, Copy of the Article Winslow, FAIA wrote for
“Concrete” publication in 1921.
25 FAIA opened his office at 114 East De la Guerra, but kept his home at 1923 Laughlin Park Drive in Los Angeles (Who’s Who in California: 635).

In Los Angeles, Winslow, FAIA was associated with the firm of Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue in designing the Los Angeles Public Library. As a church architect he designed All Saints By-the-Sea Church in Montecito, the First Congregational Church in Santa Barbara, Saint Paul’s Cathedral Memorial Chapel in Los Angeles, the Community Presbyterian Church in Beverly Hills, the First Baptist Church in Pasadena, the Mary Star of the Sea Church in La Jolla, Calvary Presbyterian Church at Riverside, Saint Andrews Episcopal Cathedral in Honolulu, and the Vestry of the Church of Saint Mary of Angels in Hollywood. He also designed the Fullerton High School (Los Angeles Times: Obituary:
17Oct1946 and UCSB: Architecture & Design Collection).

The largest and most famous of Winslow, FAIA’s designs in the Santa Barbara area is the 1916 mansion of Mr. and Mrs. William Henry Bliss, in
Montecito. This 80-room palatial estate, praised as a
“Spanish Renaissance,” was taken over briefly by the U.S.

Navy during World War II. After that it was used by the Montecito School for Girls and now it is a retirement
home known as Casa Dorinda, located at 300 Hot Springs
Road. (Myrick: Santa Barbara and Montecito Great Estates, Vol.II:417-420).

Although very modest in scale compared to the Bliss
Estate, one of Winslow, FAIA’s most fully realized
designs is the 1919 Casa de Cuatro Vistas, built on top of the Riviera hillside at 1201 Las Alturas Road.

In 1925 Winslow, FAIA designed the Edgewild Estate at
339 – 341 Hot Springs Road, Montecito. The main house
and its Gate Lodge House (341 Hot Springs Road) are
still standing.

Winslow, FAIA also designed Billings Park, in 1926-1930.

Larger than Edgewild, this Montecito estate, built along Cima Linda Lane and Rametto Road, featured a main
house surrounded by formal gardens and clusters of
guesthouses and servants’ cottages.

Downtown Santa Barbara contains an array of Winslow, FAIA’s creations that demonstrate the postearthquake revitalization of building designs in the city. This creative architectural period instigated the transition of Santa Barbara City’s core from a typical American town of its era to one with a distinct Spanish Colonial Revival/ Mediterranean architectural theme, today defined by the building codes of the El Pueblo Viejo Landmark District.

26 The following are further examples of Winslow, FAIA’s designs, some of them done with his architect-business partner Richard H. Pittman, as described in Conard and Nelson: Santa Barbara: A Guide to El Pueblo Viejo: 79,98-99,120,133, & 180.

El Paseo – 808-818 State Street, (entrances also on De la Guerra, Anacapa and Canon Perdido): The first complex that aimed at converting Santa Barbara’s architecture from Anglo Main Street to Hispanic Pueblo, El Paseo included designs by several noted local architects. They designed a courtyard with a central fountain, an open air patio, a restaurant and quaint passageways, and the famed Street of Spain, all of which encompass the historic De la Guerra Adobe. Winslow, FAIA’s contribution to the El Paseo complex is the arcaded façade with its own small courtyard on the Anacapa Street side, dating from 1928-1929.

Lugu Adobe/Meridian Studios – 112-116 De la Guerra:

Winslow, FAIA was responsible for additions in 1925 to
enhance the early 19th century Lugu Adobe and the Meridian Studios, designed by George Washington Smith in 1923.

Santa Barbara Public Library – 40 E. Anapamu Street:

Winslow, FAIA did the attractive main entrance portal facing East Anapamu Street in 1925. This was originally the main entrance to the library, but is now closed off.

Santa Barbara Clinic – 1421 State Street: the former clinic, now housing professional offices, was designed by Winslow, FAIA in several stages in 1920, 1927, and 1929-1930. The building, with an arcaded and ornamented one-story façade, was designated as a City of Santa Barbara
Structure of Merit on May 26, 1977.

Santa Barbara Museum of Natural
History – 2559 Puesta Del Sol Road:

Winslow, FAIA contributed the additions
of the Botany Hall, the Mammal Hall, and
library in 1927-1928, and the Junior
Nature Center, the Bird Hall, and
laboratories in 1932-1934.

27 The former Binks/Jordanos’ Market – 1424 State Street, was built in 1933.

Auto Show Rooms and Seaside Oil Company
Building – 318-330 State Street: Winslow, FAIA and
Pitman added the three arched- loggia and its tower on
the north side in 1937. Although small in size, this twolayered tower, with its own thin lantern, is considered by many as one of the most outstanding tower designs in the City.
10, 14, and 18 West Micheltorena Street; During the Great Depression in 1936 he designed a cluster of three professional offices built to look like small houses, at these still stand today.

Winslow, FAIA and Edward Fisher Brown coedited a pamphlet titled Small House Designs, a collection of architectural plans and
instructions on how to build small houses. The
pamphlet was published by the Santa Barbara
Community Arts Association in 1924.

He was a member of the Museum of Natural
History and served as President of the Santa
Barbara Municipal Arts Commission from
1931-1933 (Los Angeles Times Obituary: 10-17-
1946).

His Los Angeles and national professional
affiliations included a fellowship in the American Institute of Architects, Governor of the Society of Colonial Wars, President of the Sons of the Revolution, Trustee of the Episcopal Home of the Aged, member of the Advisory Board of Barlow Sanitarium, the Diocesan Commission on Architecture, and the Medieval Academy of America (Los Angeles Times Obituary: 10-17-1946).

28 Mrs. Jadwiga McDonough has kindly provided some reflection of what it is like to live in such an extraordinary house, and perhaps why she and her husband want to submit this landmark nomination application. Jadwiga writes,
It has been our privilege to live in this house at the top of the Riviera for 26 years. We will try to describe some of the features of the property that we admire and enjoy the most. Our living room is a spectacular space. A high, arched ceiling is constructed of massive redwood beams. The walls are very thick and covered with heavily textured plaster. Large windows in the South wall provide views of the city, the harbor and the ocean. Windows on the North wall look towards the mountains. Square, stained glass windows set high up in the South and North walls bathe the interior with a golden light at certain times of the day. It is always uplifting to be in this room.

Another wonderful space is our courtyard. It is bounded on 3 sides by the walls of the house. Multiple doors from the rooms on these 3 sides open onto the courtyard. The most direct way to go from the bedroom wing of the house to the living room is by way of this courtyard. The North side features a deep, covered patio held up by large rough hewn beams. This is our favorite place to enjoy a meal outdoors. The South side is open and provides magnificent views of the shoreline, the ocean, and the Channel Islands. It is flanked by mature olive trees and also features a wide variety of succulents.

The courtyard also provides a great view of the pagoda. This is a substantial open-air structure constructed of redwood with 1/2 walls on the 4 sides and open areas above The roof is covered in copper and is highly elaborate. There are 2 benches attached to the inside walls and a small table attached to a third wall. Six people can comfortably sit in contemplation of the garden and nearby pond. The pagoda is very beautiful and probably as old as the house.

SHOWN ON MAP FILED IN BOOK B, PAGE 80 OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY LOT SPLITS IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY.

Subject: Landmarking 1201 Las Alturas Rd
Dear Mayor Rowse and Councilmembers:

For 50 years I've lived near 1201 Las Alturas Rd.

I visited this property for the first time sometime around 1950 when a family friend, gardener for the estate, took me on a tour of the grounds.

At the time an elderly woman was seated on the terrace looking out to the sea. She was Ina Campbell, one of the distinguished people who have lived in this home.

For her generous support Campbell Hall at UCSB is named after her as is the Campbell bridge at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. In addition she made a major gift of 43 works of East Asian art to the SB Museum of Art. It was the basis for the Museum's Asian collection.

The next distinguished owners were MacKinley and Frances Helm. Mr. Helm was a nationally known art critic, collector and writer focusing on Mexican artists. Mrs. Helm donated 81 contemporary Mexican paintings to the art museum, forming the basis for its Mexican art collection.

The John Gillespie's followed the Helmses. Professor Gillespie was chair of the music dept. at UCSB. He wrote several books on keyboard music and recorded a wide range of harpsichord music. He was part of numerous recitals that enriched SB's cultural life.

Noted architects designed the buildings at 1201 Las Alturas Rd. The main house was designed by Carlton Winslow in 1919. In 1957 Peter Edwards and John Pitman designed the studio which is part of the landmark designation.

While the main house is screened by trees much of what has been described as a symphony of different types of Santa Barbara sandstone work is easily visible from the street.

The neighborhood is rich with historic resources. Seven houses away from 1201 to the east is 931 Las Alturas, already a city landmark. Two houses away on the west is 1111 Mission Ridge, built in 1915, and a bit further away is 1041 Mission Ridge Road, built in 1928. Both houses are on the historic inventory list.

These historic resources enrich the area culturally, add diversity and increase property values.

The buildings at 1201 Las Alturas were designed by distinguished architects.

Distinguished residents who made significant contributions to SB's cultural life lived there. It retains its historic integrity, and it deserves to be landmarked.

Please do so.

Thank you.

Sheila Lodge
