a young visionary named Lawrence F. Moore was hired to manage the business and engineer its growth. In 1926, he took the step that would insure the future of his business when he commissioned prominent Berkeley architect Julia Morgan to design and expanded facility.

Morgan had established herself as one of the finest architects of her generation, with credits ranging from the Campanile at Mills College in Oakland to Hearst Castle in San Simeon. She conceived the new facility as a haven of peace and tranquility. Form this vision, she designed an innovative array of gardens, cloisters, alcoves, stair wells, fountains and chapels that rose toward vaulted ceilings and were illuminated by soothing natural light. The project is considered by some as her masterwork.

On Memorial Day in 1928, the new columbarium and chapel were dedicated as “Chapel of the Chimes” – a name derived from a set of chimes or “carillons” installed in its tower. Morgan was retained to consult on new additions as the facility grew in popularity and expanded to an area covering one-and-a-half city blocks. Other prominent architects have contributed to the structure over the years, including an associate of Frank Lloyd Wright, Aaron Green, who integrated the mausoleum areas into the facility.

In late 1999, the City of Oakland designated Chapel of Chimes Oakland as a Distinguished Landmark.

Julia MorganFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJulia Morgan (January 20, 1872 – February 2, 1957) was an American architect. The architect of over 700 buildings in California, she is best known for her work on Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California. Throughout her long career, she also designed multiple buildings for institutions serving women and girls.

Early life and educationBorn in San Francisco, California, she was raised in Oakland and graduated from Oakland High School in 1890. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1894 with a degree in civil engineering. At the urging of her friend and mentor Bernard Maybeck, whom she met in her final year in undergraduate school, she headed to Paris to apply to the famous Ecole des Beaux-Arts.

Denied at first because the school was not accepting women, and a second time because she failed the entrance exam (she claimed in a letter that she had been failed deliberately because she was a woman), after two years she finally passed the entrance exams in the architecture program, placing 13th out of 376 applicants, and was duly admitted. She was the first woman to graduate with a degree in architecture from the school in Paris. American architect Fay Kellogg (1871-1918) was studying in Paris around the same time, advocating admission of women to the school, but acceptance came too late for her to attend.

CareerUpon her return from Paris she took employment with the San Francisco architect John Galen Howard who was at that time supervising theUniversity of California Master Plan. Morgan worked on several buildings on the Berkeley campus, most notably providing the decorative elements for the Hearst Mining Building, and designs for the Hearst Greek Theatre.In 1904, she opened her own office in San Francisco. One of her earliest works from this period was North Star House in Grass Valley, California, commissioned in 1906 by mining engineer Arthur De Wint Foote and his wife, the author and illustrator, Mary Hallock Foote. Naturally, many commissions followed the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, ensuring her financial success.

Preserving a piece of history is one of many enviable roles that Architects have the opportunity to play.The Santa Clara Valley is full of history… dating back to the first Pueblo settlements in the 1770’s, San Jose has been an attraction for it’s beautiful geography, excellent location and year round mild climate.

The new San Pedro Square Urban Market has as its centerpiece, the Peralta Adobe, in its public courtyard.The Peralta Adobe is the oldest building surviving in San Jose. It was built in 1797 and named for Luis María Peralta, its most famous resident. Peralta was a soldier and owner of Rancho San Antonio, one of the largest ranchos in Spanish California. The original builder was most likely Manuel González, an Apache Indian who was its first resident and one of the founders of the Pueblo de San Jose de Guadalupe in 1777.

I’ve had the opportunity to work on several historical restoration projects in San Jose. Two of the most prominent are the Security Building and Letitia Building on South First Street at San Fernando Street in downtown San Jose.

Both of these buildings were developed by C.T. Ryland (Caius Tacitus) who came to California from Howard County, Missouri in the Gold Rush of 1849. Ryland found out that he could make more money in banking, law and investment than working the mining fields with a pick axe. Ryland settled in San Jose in 1850 and soon married Letitia Burnett, the daughter of Governor Burnett. He soon became a local leader in the banking industry.

Ryland built the Letitia Building to honor his bride in 1890 before electric lighting was installed in buildings. The two-level central atrium was surrounded with windowed offices to allow natural lighting to penetrate deep into the space... an early touch of sustainable design. Even the floor of the atrium was built with glass block so sunlight could flow clear down into the ground floor retail level.

In 1881 downtown San Jose installed an Electric Light Tower that spanned the

intersection of Santa Clara Street and Market Street. Built by J. J. Owen, editor and publisher of the San Jose Daily Mercury, the Light Tower was 237 feet tall and weighted 15 tons. It provided light for all of downtown San Jose until it was blown over in a big wind storm on December 13, 1915.

Next door to the Letitia Building, the Security Building (or Ryland Block) was built in 1892. Designed in Romanesque Revival style and constructed of red brick and sandstone, Security Building was an early home to the Bank of Italy which A.P. Gianini (born in downtown San Jose in 1870) established in San Francisco. Gianini returned to his hometown of San Jose to open the first branch office. Bank of Italy changed its name in 1930 to become the Bank of America.

Like the Letitia Building, the Security Building is filled inside with natural light. The “interior streets” on the second and third floors are flooded

with direct and indirect natural lighting. The old bank vaults were removed on the ground floor to make room for more modern retail uses.

Our historical buildings are full of stories of the past. Take some time to get to know a bit about the history of the place where you live, work and play.

CELEBRATING 100 YEARS

Montalvo Today

Since its conception, the Mediterranean-style house on the hill, as well as its generalsurroundings, has been known as Villa Montalvo. Built in 1912 by Senator James Duval Phelan (1861-1930), California’s first elected senator, Montalvo was

bequeathed by Phelan to the state of California to serve as a site for the advancement of art, music, literature and architecture. Now, the historic Villa and the 175-acre property are known as Montalvo Arts Center. The name reflects the growth, new direction and other general changes the organization has made in the past few years, including the addition of the Sally and Don Lucas Residency Program in October 2004. Montalvo is the one of the most distinguished arts organizations serving Silicon Valley and the extended San Francisco Bay Area as a center for creativity. Today, Montalvo presents outstanding performing arts programs for adults and children; concerts in the Carriage House Theatre, historic Villa, and the Lilian Fontaine Garden Theatre; exhibitions of exciting up-and-coming artists in Sculpture on the Grounds and the Project Space Gallery; and a wide range of innovative public programming.

Celebrating its centennial this year, visit, www.montalvoarts.org/centennial/ to learn more about the numerous events and exhibitions which explore the relationships between Montalvo, its communities, and its histories.

Silicon Valley’s oasis of culture and nature since 1912In 2012, the Villa at Montalvo Arts Center turns 100 years old! Built by Senator James D. Phelan, California’s first democratically elected Senator, his beloved estate in Saratoga has evolved into one of the Bay Area’s leading arts institutions and artist residency programs. It was at Montalvo where Phelan entertained artists, politicians, soldiers, scholars, and cultural figures until his death in 1930, at which time he bequeathed the estate to the state of California with a very specific mandate:

Montalvo has kept Senator Phelan’s legacy alive for all these years through the hard work and dedication of countless people who have supported the institution and the artists it serves with their time, creativity, and financial resources, all in recognition of the deep importance of the arts and nature in our everyday lives.

“I would like the property at Saratoga, California...to be maintained as a public park open under reasonable restrictions, the buildings and grounds immediately surrounding the same to be used as far as possible for the development of art, literature, music, and architecture by promising students.”

EcoCenter (Sea Scout Building)Palo Alto, California

Time and tide had eroded the venerable Sea Scout building, perched at the edge of the Baylands. Owned by the City of Palo Alto and designed by renowned Palo Alto architect Birge Clark in the mid-1930s in the “streamline natural” style, the Sea Scout building had been suffering from daily tidal actions for years because it had sunk three feet into the soft bay ground. Once a deep-water port, Palo Alto halted dredging in the 1970s and allowed the tidal area to return to its natural marsh state. Our client, the Environmental Volunteers, approached the city on behalf of the ailing building. Palo Alto agreed to give the non-profit a long-term lease in return for renovation of the badly dilapidated building.

CAW demonstrates that historic preservation and sustainable design are compatible and complimentary in this very unique and whimsical building. The newly renovated EcoCenter building opened in 2012.

How CAW achieved this:

- CAW formulated a renovation plan, which won unanimous endorsements by the City of Palo Alto’s Historic Resources Board and City Council.- The building was temporarily moved to make way for new foundation placement.- Historic character defining features were restored.- CAW employed multiple sustainable building practices, including the installation of photovoltaics and the recycling of original building materials such as windows and existing wood siding.

When the San Francisco 49ers begins play in their new football home in Santa Clara, in 2014, it will be their third home stadium. Our local team was established in 1946, but not as a National Football League team - they were originally part of a new rival league consisting of 8 teams known as the All American Football Conference. This new league only lasted four seasons. In 1950, the 49ers, Baltimore Colts, and the Cleveland Browns were adopted into the NFL and the AAFC disbanded.

When the 49ers began play in 1946, their home was Kezar Stadium. Kezar was a quaint venue on the southeast corner of Golden Gate Park. Opened in May 1925, Kezar was built at a cost of $300, 000 - its construction took only one year. One third of the construction costs came as a gift from the estate of Mary Kezar. Ms. Kezar was part of a pioneering San Francisco family and hence the city named the stadium after her family. The remaining funds for the stadium came from the City and County of San Francisco. Seemingly a small stadium, Kezar actually had a large capacity of 59,942.

Before the 49ers arrived at Kezar in 1946, it was the football home of such schools as University of San Francisco, St. Mary’s College, and Santa Clara University. The stadium was used for many other events such as motorcycle and automobile racing, soccer, baseball, rugby, and cricket. Kezar also became the home for the East-West Shrine game in 1926 and continued into the 1970s.

The 49ers made Kezar their home until 1971. Unfortunately the last game played by the 49ers at Kezar was a 17-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC championship game in January 1971. One of the great pieces of Bay Area trivia is that the Oakland Raiders played their first season at Kezar Stadium in 1960 sharing the venue with their rival 49ers. Of even further interest, the Raider’s played their second season at Candlestick Park, ten years before

the 49ers would move there, before moving to the East Bay for the 1962 season.

In the 1970’s Kezar was a concert venue hosting such musical luminaries as Led Zeppelin, The Doobie Brothers, Jefferson Starship, Joan Baez, Carlos Santana, The Grateful Dead and Neil Young. The stadium also had a starring role in the Dirty Harry movie. Kezar was demolished and re-built in 1989 and now has a much smaller capacity of about 10,000 and it is used for events such as track and field and soccer.

Candlestick Park was built for the San Francisco “baseball” Giants who moved from New York City in 1958. For their first 2 years, the Giants played in a small stadium, since demolished, called Seals Stadium at 16th and Bryant near Potrero Hill. The city of San Francisco agreed to build a new stadium for the Giants if they moved west. The land for the stadium was purchased from Charles Harney, a local contractor, who supposedly made a tidy profit on the deal. Harney also won a no-bid contract to build the new venue. The entire deal was the subject of a Grand Jury investigation, so the stadium was

21 MAY 2012

swirling in winds and controversy from the get go. The name, Candlestick Park, came from a “name the park” contest. On maps of the time, it was first known just as “Bay View Stadium.” For the structural engineers reading this, it was the first baseball stadium to be built of re-enforced concrete. Vice President Richard Nixon, threw out the first pitch on April 12, 1960 and the Beatles played their last live concert at “the stick” on August 29, 1966.

To prepare for the 49ers move to Candlestick, the stadium was enclosed with stands being built around the outfield. The new construction decreased the wind speeds inside the stadium, but the winds continued to swirl. With the stadium enclosure, the view to the bay was lost.

In their new home at Candlestick, the 49ers went on to great success. Candlestick was the scene of eight NFC championship games. The most notable, was in January 1982 when Dwight Clark made “the catch” from quarterback Joe Montana. The 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys in that game and then went on to win their first Super Bowl.

On October 17, 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake, 7.1 magnitude struck, just before game 3 of the World Series between the Oakland A’s and the San Francisco Giants. The stadium suffered minor structural damage, but thankfully not a single person was injured. The quake delayed the series for ten days while the Bay Area recovered from the disaster. The 49ers were also impacted by the quake. The October 22nd game

scheduled between the 49ers and the Patriots was moved to Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto while Candlestick Park could be inspected.

In 2000, the Giants left Candlestick for their new home at AT&T Park a few miles north along the Bay at China Basin. The last baseball game was played on September 30, 1999 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This left the 49ers as Candlestick’s only professional tenant. Candlestick remains the NFL’s only venue that was originally built for baseball.

On April 19, 2012, ground was broken for the 49ers new football stadium in Santa Clara about 45 miles south of Candlestick Point., signaling the beginning of the end for “the stick.” Rumor has it the stadium will be torn down when the 49ers depart.

49ERS a Brief History

AIA Santa Clara Valley

AIASCV office relocated to its current location at 325 S. First Street in San Jose. This space and location have served our organization well. With the current lease expiring this June the Chapter Board looked at other relocation options, but given the good lease rate offered, the Board approved a new lease at the existing location. With the new 3-year lease and a new Executive Director, Jeff Current AIA, the Chapter’s President, recommended that this might be a good time to update the office in order to make it more useable for staff, Chapter’s activities and a more pleasing storefront for the public viewing. This was enthusiastically endorsed by the Board.

The concept is to reorganize the space to create a multi-functional hi-tech space for architectural display/gallery, meetings/seminars and social gatherings while maintaining an efficient and pleasant work environment for staff, of course, while keeping costs at a minimum. So what else is new? We are LOOKING for PARTNERS to participate to this effort:
