We’ll then walk down Hill Street and underground for a rare visit to the this fascinating time capsule, the decommissioned streetcar station and its tunnel.

To ensure a seat at this free LAPL event, please register. There are no “plus ones,” so each person should sign up with their own name and email address. This is just one in a series of special events celebrating Esotouric’s 10th Anniversary.

The time: Winter 1964.

The place: The Cahuenga Pass, opposite the Hollywood Bowl.

The conflict: An eminent domain showdown between, on one side, the Los Angeles County Supervisors, powerful motion picture interests, and Peter J. Pitchess, the Sheriff of Los Angeles. On the other side, Steven Anthony, an ex-Marine and Barney’s Beanery bartender who loved his young family’s storybook cottage in the Hollywood Hills and just wanted his day in court.

Los Angeles Public Library and Los Angeles historian Richard Schave (Esotouric bus adventures) invites you to join us for a special presentation on the Siege of Fort Anthony, with special guests Elona Anthony (Mrs. Steven Anthony), Hollywood historian George Kiel, Bunker Hill native son Gordon Pattison, L.A. historian Nathan Marsak, and Fort Anthony defender John Maljevic. The program reveals the history of a lost neighborhood and the efforts of one brave man to preserve it in the face of powerful forces of Urban Renewal and civic transformation in the County of Los Angeles.

ABOUT THE PRESENTERS

George Kiel knew as a six-year-old in Ohio that he’d spend his adult life in Hollywood making movies. George has been a drapery designer for the Hollywood studios for about a third of a century. His specialty is period design and the design details that make each period unique. His non-professional passion, though, is history and historic preservation. George has been a volunteer at Hollywood Heritage, Hollywood’s preservation organization, for nearly 20 years. George currently manages the Hollywood Heritage Museum (home of Hollywood’s first feature-length motion picture) and has been a volunteer walking tour guide of the history of Hollywood off and on for 10 years. At home, both of the homes George has owned have been neglected wrecks that George has spent years restoring back to the periods when they were built (1924 and 1937, respectively). George has an unending love of Hollywood, and the stories that make Hollywood’s history come to life.

Gordon Pattison is a native son of Bunker Hill. His family owned the Salt Box and the Castle, the last two homes standing after the neighborhood was cleared for redevelopment. To learn more, see Gordon’s LAVA Sunday Salon presentation Old Bunker Hill: One Family’s Perspective. Gordon can also be found blogging about the old neighborhood on On Bunker Hill, talking about Angels Flight Railway on Off-Ramp, visiting the few remaining pieces of his family’s houses at Heritage Square Museum, on KCET’s Lost L.A. series Lost Hills episode, and remembering novelist John Fante at his square dedication and atop Bunker Hill. He can also be found on Esotouric’s The Lowdown on Downtown tours, sharing memories of lost Bunker Hill.

Nathan Marsak is a Los Angeles historian, preservation advocate, and is perpetually restoring his Highland Park home. He can often be found leading walking tours of lost downtown for LAVA – The Los Angeles Visionaries Association, which named him Visionary of the Year in 2015. Nathan is the author of Los Angeles Neon, and a regular contributor to the time travel blog, On Bunker Hill.

John Maljevic has lived in Los Angeles since 1951. That year he came out of the Marine Corps, took a job at a Hawaiian nightclub in Hollywood, and put himself through machinist training at Boeing Aircraft in Long Beach, while living at the Hollywood Athletic Club. By the early 1960s, John was a fixture at Barney’s Beanery, where he befriended Steven Anthony, the singing bartender. John’s skills as a metal manufacturer allowed him to help Steven both fabricate and seek patents for his 3-D projection system. John and his good friend, Charlie Sample, the celebrated Western silversmith, were both involved in the “Siege of Fort Anthony.”

After his undergraduate studies in art history at UC Santa Cruz, Richard Schave (“indispensable Los Angelist” – Los Angeles Magazine) set out to explore the American interior as an itinerent brick mason. His return to his native Los Angeles coincided with a renewed acquaintance with Kim Cooper, a once-detested academic colleague who would become his bride. Together, fusing scholarly research with new digital tools, they launched the 1947project time travel blog, along with In SRO Land, and On Bunker Hill, as well as the Esotouric tour company. With the success of Kim’s True Crime tours, Richard developed a series of Literary and California Culture excursions. Off the bus, Richard is a dedicated preservationist, and the host of the LAVA Sunday Salon and the LAVA Literary Salon series, named Best L.A. Literary Salon by Los Angeles Magazine. He also curates an ongoing series of forensic science programs at Cal State Los Angeles. To stay informed about Richard’s off-the-bus programs, including his much-beloved Broadway On My Mind walking tour series, subscribe to the LAVA newsletter.

In lieu of a biography, Elona Anthony offers this statement: “Good evening, my name is Elona Anthony; my husband was Steve Anthony the person that stood up against the L.A. Sheriff’s Department, power, money and greed in a standoff to take our home in Hollywood. The “Siege” as it was called brought decades of pain and hardship to our family.

The system did all that it could do to destroy Steve Anthony, who in one fleeting moment of decision, made up his mind to stand up for what he believed. They took our home: property, job, land, and freedom, “actually all of our freedom to own land and live in peace.” Steve was a proud Marine, being discharged at twenty and served his country for the exact same reason, so people would be able to live in peace.

I was eighteen, going to college and studying drama in the evenings when I met my husband who opened his home up to our instructor who lost his lease where he was teaching. I married my husband in 1960 at twenty and by 1963 we were blessed with three children.

1964 was the year that turned our lives upside down, losing everything we had and putting myself and three small children relying on strangers for a place to stay and our basic needs.

In 1966, my husband had a permanent job working for a plumbing company where he studied and became a licensed plumbing and building contractor. We moved to Sonora California in 1971, where my husband and I started a business. Our last child was born in 1972 giving us five wonderful children. We saved and built our home in Sonora, but the action that happened in Hollywood followed us everywhere we went. We always had people that were interested in what happened and for the most part everyone was in agreement with what we did on that day. Our bravery and stamina was always acknowledged.

Unfortunately, my husband’s health was at risk and eight years later, when he was fifty, he had a heart attack. Again, it was a very trying time. I went back to school and was able to get a job as a bookkeeper, while caring for my husband for the next fourteen years. When my husband passed away, I could no longer keep our home. I moved to the city, working in the private sector for a couple of years and for the past seventeen years with the State of California.

My son and I are here today to remind people of the injustice that not only happened to our family, but that are still going on today due to power and greed, and all my husband asked for was a simple demand: that our property be protected through the U.S. Constitution and that he have his day in court.

The land grab has got to stop!!”

This edition of the LAVA Sunday Salon and Broadway on My Wind walking tour focuses on Charles Bukowski, as seen through the eyes of Los Angeles poet S.A. Griffin.

The program begins with a talk in the lower level of Grand Central Market, where S.A. Griffin will talk about his journey discovering Los Angeles writer and King of Poets Charles Bukowski, and the man’s global influence on modern verse.

S.A. will trace his personal pilgrimage route from his time on Grand View Street in MacArthur Park (1980-82), when he heard about Bukowski at a party in Long Beach, to finally finding Red Stodolsky at Baroque Bookstore on Las Palmas in Hollywood, where Red mentored him as a bookman in Bukowski and the Beats. S.A. would later create a plaque in Red’s honor and place it at the bookshop’s old location.

S.A. will also read from Bukowski’s first novel, Post Office, at the former Terminal Annex sorting facility, the novel’s setting, which Sunday Salon attendees will walk to from Grand Central Market, as part of our own pilgrimage.

S.A. Griffin is the co-editor of The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry. Between 1989-2009 S.A. toured the U.S., Canada and the worldwide web with performance poets the Carma Bums. During April-June 2010 he toured the U.S. with Elsie The Poetry Bomb, a Vietnam era practice bomb converted into an art piece and filled with poems from around the world. S.A.’s most recent titles are Dreams Gone Mad With Hope (Punk Hostage Press, 2014), “The Hideous Bible” (Rose of Sharon Press, 2016) with The Lost Bums and Harvey Korman Harvey Korman Harvey Korman (Spartan Press, 2017) with John Dorsey and Scott Wannberg.

ABOUT THE APRIL 2017 SALON & WALKING TOUR:

Fort Moore Pioneer Memorial

This edition of the LAVA Sunday Salon and Broadway on My Wind walking tour looks at the history of Fort Hill in Downtown Los Angeles and the ongoing restoration of the Fort Moore Pioneer Memorial (Kazumi Adachi and Dike Nagano, 1958). The largest bas-relief military monument in the United States, it honors the Mormon Battalion, the U.S. 1st Dragoons, and the New York Volunteers who raised the American flag over the fort on July 4, 1847, at the first Independence Day in Los Angeles.

We’ll begin in the lower level of Grand Central Market with an illustrated lecture on the history of Fort Hill by architectural historians Nathan Marsak and Richard Schave. This will include the Mexican-American War-era military Fort Moore, historic cemetery, notable residents, old Los Angeles High School, and Fort Hill’s sad fate when it was partially demolished for freeway construction.

The focus will then turn to the Fort Moore Pioneer Memorial, as Conservator Donna Williams and Civic Art Collections Manager Clare Haggarty talk about their roles on the Los Angeles County restoration project. We’ll then walk over to the Fort Moore Pioneer Memorial to tour the site and learn more about the monument and its restoration.

Making Sense of Parker Center

This edition of the LAVA Sunday Salon and Broadway on My Wind walking tour looks at the Police Facilities Building (Welton Becket & Associates and J. E. Stanton, 1955).

ABOUT THE FEBRUARY 2017 SALON & WALKING TOUR:

The LAVA Sunday Salon is delighted to welcome back the esteemed poet and educator Suzanne Lummis as she curates a second series of Poem Noir readings.

Starting in the basement of Grand Central Market, Suzanne will describe the defining characteristics of this poetry, whose dark themes, atmosphere, and voice of cool detachment are inspired by the low budget black-and-white crime movies of the 1940s and 1950s. Then we’ll move across the street to the Bradbury Building for the Poem Noir readings, presented by a star-studded lineup of poets.

Downey’s Googie Phoenix: Harvey’s Broiler 10th Anniversary Restoration Celebration

Downey’s Googie Phoenix: Harvey’s Broiler 10th Anniversary Restoration Celebration

0 1.7k

Esotouric invites you to celebrate one of the most unlikely happy endings in Southern California historic preservation: the restoration of the partially demolished Harvey’s Broiler (Paul B. Clayton, 1958) as Bob’s Big Boy (2009). This event is one of a series of 10th anniversary special event happenings through 2017.

For decades, Harvey’s Broiler (later Johnie’s Broiler) on Firestone Boulevard was one of the key stops on the Los Angeles County hot rod and cruising circuit, memorably featured in Tom Wolfe’s essay “The Hair Boys.” But the drive-in shut in 2001 and the large property became a used car lot. Local preservationists from the L.A. Conservancy’s ModCom and the newly formed Friends of Johnie’s campaigned to get Harvey’s listed on the California State historic registry and kept a wary eye on the deteriorating building.

Then on the afternoon of Sunday, January 7, 2007, the tenant began to illegally demolish the drive-in, without permits or even shutting off the electricity. As night fell, eagle eyed preservationists were on the case, calling local police, politicians and television news stations and halting the demolition—but not before the east side of this a stunning Googie masterpiece was a pile of rubble. And so began a hair-raising seven-year journey to restoration and reopening of this great Downey landmark as a Bob’s Big Boy drive-in.

Come celebrate the tenth anniversary of the death of Harvey’s Broiler and the beginning of its second life with members of Friends of Johnie’s and ModCom, architect and historian Alan Hess, local historians and neon aficionados. A Big Boy burger and fries are just $4.99, and the good fellowship is priceless.

Nathan Marsak On “Lost Romanesque Los Angeles”

On the last Sunday of the month during the hours of 2-5pm, LAVA welcomes interested individuals to gather in downtown Los Angeles for the Sunday Salon, featuring a presentation by a LAVA Visionary and opportunities to meet and connect with one another. Immediately after the Salon, a walking tour expands on the Salon theme. If you’re interested in joining LAVA as a creative contributor or an attendee, we recommend Salon attendance as an introduction to this growing community.

To reserve your spot for this free event, click on the “Buy Tickets” button above.

ABOUT THE SALON & WALKING TOUR:

We have combined the Sunday Salon & Broadway on My Mind walking tour into a single event. The talk begins at 2pm and lasts about 45 minutes. We’ll break for about 15 minutes for people who have no checked in to do so, then leave for the walk around 3pm. The walk will last about 90 minutes.

Nathan Marsak On “Lost Romanesque Los Angeles”

Architectural historian Nathan Marsak, the LAVA Visionary of the Year for 2015, presents on the forgotten architectural landscape of nineteenth-century Los Angeles—a lost world whose most salient impulse was toward the imposing, rough-hewn blocks of the Romanesque style. Nathan’s talk will be an illustrated tour of the lost buildings of the Civic Center, followed by a walking tour of that portion of downtown.

The common narrative regarding the visual development of early Los Angeles usually involves the native vernacular of the pueblo, which one may still visit in any number of extant adobes; from there, following some historic boom times, we Angelenos and visitors alike are regaled by the wondrous Beaux-Arts high-rises of downtown. If pure Victorian architecture is considered, one likely turns attention to the Eastlake and Queen Anne examples along Carroll Avenue, or to the used-car lot of gingerbread, Heritage Square.

This does a disservice, asserts Marsak, to the wonderland of Richardsonian Romanesque, Romanesque Revival, and Romanesque-hybrid office blocks and civic structures that once defined our city. A confluence of money and local pride, primarily in the late-1880s, resulted in what was arguably America’s greatest center of the style, short-lived though it may have been. The ethos of the City Beautiful movement, skyscraper construction, and other factors contributed to its demise.

It is especially striking that these structures, whose construction exuded solidity and permanence, should have been removed on so great a scale. Besides illuminating some of the most notable lost masterpieces from the Civic Center, Marsak’s lecture will visit those few remaining examples of the style. Attention will be given as well to the styles that fought for dominance in defining Victorian Los Angeles, e.g., French Empire.

Hotel Cecil & Catalina Swimwear Historic Landmark Consideration Tour

0 2.0k

You are cordially invited to join historian and preservationist Richard Schave (on his birthday!) and the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission (agenda) [PDF] for a tour of two potential Downtown landmarks: the Hotel Cecil [PDF] (Loy Lester Smith, 1924) and the Catalina Swimwear Building [PDF] (William Douglas Lee, 1923).

We encourage you to register for this free event by following the “buy ticket” link above.

The program begins with a 9am presentation in the CHC meeting room #1010 at City Hall. At around 10am, the commissioners and public will walk to the Hotel Cecil (640 South Main Street) and tour the building, then continue on to Catalina Swimwear (443 South San Pedro Street) for the second building tour. We estimate each building tour to take an hour or less.

Following the building tours, you may choose to join Richard at historic Saint Vincent’s Court (just west of 7th and Broadway) for a no-host lunch and informal birthday celebration. We recommend Arto’s lebneh sandwich and lentil soup.

Please join us for a rare opportunity to tour two important early Los Angeles commercial buildings and spend time with like-minded people in great spaces.

To learn more about the dark history of the Hotel Cecil, join us on Esotouric’s Hotel Horrors & Main Street Vice tour, the final crime bus tour of 2017, on December 10.

Broadway On My Mind #18: Pereira In Peril – Times Mirror Square

0 3.1k

On the last Sunday of each month during the hours of noon-2pm, LAVA welcomes interested individuals to gather in downtown Los Angeles for a loosely structured conversational Salon featuring short presentations and opportunities to meet and connect with one another. If you’re interested in joining LAVA as a creative contributor or an attendee, we recommend Salon attendance as an introduction to this growing community.

For a special LAVA Sunday Salon that includes a walking tour, you are invited to join architect and historian Alan Hess and Esotouric’s Richard Schave for a program dedicated to the nearby and endangered Times Mirror Square (1973).

This is the third event in the Pereira In Peril series—earlier talks were on the Metropolitan Water District (1963) and LACMA campus (1965) — and will focus on the redevelopment threat facing the recently sold Times Mirror Square and its effect on the legacy of mid-century architect and city planner William L. Pereira, whose corporate and civic work helped define Los Angeles.

The first half of the event will be a LAVA Sunday Salon discussion in the basement of Grand Central Market. Then the group will walk two blocks north to Times Mirror Square, where we will continue to refine the discussion of Pereira’s legacy and significance while viewing the 1973 black glass corporate headquarters. This widely misunderstood structure at the northwest corner of the historic Los Angeles Times compound reveals fascinating layers of change in the city’s architectural style, the Chandler family’s relationship with their newspaper and Pereira’s evolution as an architect. With its future uncertain, there has never been a better time to get to know Times Mirror Square.

The LAVA Sunday Salon is free, but reservations are required to provide an attendance count for the venue. There are no “plus ones,” so tell your friends to sign up individually. If attending both the Sunday Salon and walking tour, please sign up for each event. Please don’t reserve unless you plan to attend.
