On July 15, 1875, the auctioneer proclaimed, “At one o’clock we will sell at public outcry to the highest bidder the Pacific Ocean, draped with a western sky of scarlet and gold; we will sell a bay filled with white-winged ships; we will sell a southern horizon; rimmed with a choice of purple mountains carved in castles and turrets and domes; we will sell a frostless, bracing, warm yet languid air braided in and out with sunshine and odored with the breath of flowers.” The first town lots in Santa Monica were then sold to the highest bidders.

Thus began the walking tour of my hometown, Santa Monica, California. The Santa Monica Conservancy Walking Tour begins at a building known as Rapp Saloon, on 2nd street, built in 1875 as a beer hall in the true “wild west” fashion. Today it is a youth hostel. Lovingly restored, the beer hall remains open for rental. As I imagined the voices of sailors and suitors gathered at the bar in the nineteenth century, I simultaneously envisioned my own future party here filled with joyous celebration.

Santa Monica’s oldest surviving house is on Ocean Avenue, built in 1891, it subsequently belonged to the professional tennis player, Gussie Moran. It’s steep-gabled roof, shingles, and corner turret portray the Queen Anne Victorian style of the late 1800’s. In 1949, when Gussie occupied the home, she entered her Wimbledon tennis match wearing lace ruffled panties under her short-short tennis skirt. This caused quite the outrage! Hence, the expression, “gussied up” was born.

I thought of Cambridge, as I walked up to the Keller building/block which was designed in 1893 by architect, Carroll H. Brown, in the classic Romanesque Revival style. The tall windows reflect the Victorian taste of the day. At three stories, it was the largest building downtown and the center of business in Santa Monica. Located at 1460 Third St, it established Third Street as the center of Santa Monica and led to today’s Third Street Promenade mega shopping area.

The 1920’s brought explosive growth to Santa Monica, and in 1927 a Builder’s Exchange was built on the corner of Fourth Street. Spanish Revival architecture was skillfully completed by the expert tradesmen who lived and worked in the area. The decorative wrought iron grills and original Spanish tiles are of particular note. The cartoonist who invented Popeye, E.C. Segar, worked in the building and fashioned his cartoon after a sea captain he knew named Frank “Rocky” Fiegel who had one eye, was toothless, and has unusual strength. Segar learned to draw from a $20 correspondence course and was hired by William Randolph Hearst to design a comic strip for his newspaper.

Two years later, The Central Tower, an Art Deco masterpiece, rose high above Fourth Street. When viewing the building, the vertical lines carry one’s eye upward to the clock on top, which is purposefully placed off center. The original bronze lobby mail chute remains today, along with the cream and black variegated marble floor.

The Clock Tower at 1424 Fourth Street

Santa Monica’s first theater was originally designed in 1911, and then remodeled in 1929 along with the invention of “talking films.” Theatrical masks, flowers, and shields ornament the facade, along with iron balconettes. Today, only the facade remains and the rest of the property is a mixed use of stores and apartments. I personally love the color scheme.

Majestic Theater at 212-216 Santa Monica Blvd.

In 1912, the Juniper building was three stories and contained an elevator. A fourth story was added in 1925. Metal hooks remain on the corners of the building above the second floor windows. They were once used to assist the electric trolley which brought visitors into the city. Today’s Metro Line functions in the same way.

Juniper building 1912/1925

Hotel Carmel, with it’s Beaux Arts design and Spanish Churrigueresque interior, was built in 1928. Once frequented by Hollywood film stars, it’s roofline with ornamental lion heads was designed to protect its inhabitants from bad luck.

Santa Monica was devastated during the Depression. Gambling ships were placed at sea to attract tourists, who were then shuttled out in smaller boats. In 1931, a female entrepreneur, Rosamond Borde, decided to build a lavish seaside resort for the Hollywood elite. Using architect M. Eugene Durfee, who also designed the Builder’s Exchange and The Central Tower, she created THE GEORGIAN HOTEL on Ocean Avenue, a Beaux Arts/Art Deco masterpiece. Clark Gable, Carol Lombard, and Cary Grant were often seen on the veranda. Remaining open during prohibition, she had a speakeasy hidden in the basement. Now that’s one lady I would have liked to have known!

Georgian Hotel

That same year, HARVELLES BLUES CLUB opened and still functions today in its original capacity. Don’t be surprised to catch me on the dance floor, as I love this little hole in the wall.

When the Depression ended, the 1939 SHANGRI-LA HOTEL went up a few blocks away from The Georgian. The name symbolized paradise in the James Hilton novel, “Lost Horizon.” The architectural style was named Streamline Moderne, and expressed admiration for America’s new machines; the ocean liner and the airplane. The glass brick used in the entry was a new building material in 1939. The L-shaped building allowed for an interior courtyard (with pool) so that each hotel guest received an ocean view. As I live one block away from the Shangri-La, I have gotten to know it’s top notch concierge, Adrienne Miley, with her “whatever it takes” attitude and the hotel’s delicious American classic cuisine. I’m a frequent visitor to the poolside cafe, as well as the original Streamline Moderne dining room with club chairs and cozy booths.

Shangri-La pool

The quintessential British Pub, YE OLDE KINGS HEAD, used to be the go-to bar for 1960’s rock music and was frequented by UCLA students. A band called “Rick & The Ravens” played every weekend, and featured Ray Manzarek on the keyboard, along with his brothers Rick and Jim. He had just received his M.F.A. degree from UCLA film school. A drunk guy at the bar would continuously request the song, “Louie, Louie.” Eventually, Ray asked the drunk to come up and sing it, while the band played. It was a stellar performance and the first time Jim Morrison sang on stage. That was the beginning of Jim joining the band, and later changing the name to The Doors. Here’s more of the story: THE FORMING OF THE DOORS

My current apartment is located in a building once named The Champagne Towers, as it was owned by singer Lawrence Welk. It’s a 16-story apartment building and Welk made his personal residence in the complex. According to Lois Wice of The New York Post, “It was not unusual to see model and actress Greice Santo basking in the sun next to folks that included Megan Fox, Larry David, and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, while Britney Spears would go topless at the rooftop pool.”

Champagne Towers

One question I wanted to be answered when I took the tour, was “How did Santa Monica get its name?” I found out that the King of Spain sent missionaries to colonize California. In 1769, these missionaries and some Spanish soldiers were drinking from a stream (located at University High) when one of them commented that the waters of the spring reminded him of the tears that Saint Monica shed for her son, Augustine, before his conversion. The city founders heard this story and named the city after the Saint. Her statue can be viewed at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Ocean Avenue, a half block from my home.

Today, the two-hour walking tour of Santa Monica is presented weekly by Santa Monica Conservancy volunteers. Information can be found by clicking here: Santa Monica Conservancy Walking Tour

Gold Mine! Historic Gable Mansion in California Is This Week’s Most Popular Home

realtor.com

Just two hours north of San Francisco, a jaw-dropping example of Victorian Italianate architecture sits in Woodland, CA. Built in 1885 for two pioneering ranchers, the gorgeous classic is the most popular home this week on realtor.com®.

This historic landmark has been restored and modernized, and it’s easy to see why it’s captured the imagination of architecture fans. Considered a “work of art,” the interior space features hand-stenciled wallpapers, multiple stained-glass windows, and hand-decorated ceilings.

The runner-up this week is an Ohio home that’s been slashed to seven. As in, dollars. The single-digit price tag is a reduction from the $777 the home was asking when it topped our list in March. The historic Toledo home needs all-new everything, and now the seller is willing to throw in a new roof to sweeten the seven-dollar deal.

Aside from that single-digit bargain, other popular homes this week include a charming Victorian cottage in New Orleans, a next-door neighbor to last week’s glam Las Vegas digs, and a Maryland home with a whopping four bars.

Pour yourself a double, straight up, and scroll down for the rest of this week’s most popular properties…

10. 1528 Westwood Ave, Lakewood, OH

Price: $245,000 Why it’s here: Here’s a ray of sunshine for spring! Built in 1901, this sunny five-bedroom home from 1901 features a remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. Other highlights include a formal dining room, living room, and large front porch. Just be prepared for the bold color choice of blood red on some interior walls.

Lakewood, OH

9. 170 Ball Rd, Saint Leonard, MD

Price: $1,200,000 Why it’s here: You had us at tiki bar. But this home truly comes equipped to entertain. You’re never far from a beverage, with four full bars, including the aforementioned tiki-themed outdoor watering hole. Aside from abundant top-shelf opportunities, the Colonial-style home includes a tiered home theater, game room, and an outdoor area that sports a pool, fire pit, as well as an outdoor kitchen.

7. 450 W Grixdale, Detroit, MI

6. 1329 E 7th St, Loveland, CO

Price: $309,000 Why it’s here: Here’s a remodel done right! Buyers obviously agreed, because this place is under contract after less than two weeks on the market. The cottage has had a few updates, but maintains its quirky style. Ideal for chilling on a warm summer day, the covered front porch is also newly redone.

Loveland, CO

5. 715 River Dr, Munster, IN

Price: $199,000 Why it’s here: This ranch-style home from 1960 has been all spruced up. The updated kitchen has granite counters, and the finished basement, with fireplace and recessed lighting, could easily serve as a family room.

Munster, IN

4. 5912 Chestnut St, New Orleans, LA

Price: $735,000 Why it’s here: We’re charmed. A Victorian “jewel box” from 1873 packs a lot of light into its 1,768 square feet. The redone cottage boasts high ceilings, exposed brick, a newly painted white interior, and an updated kitchen and bathrooms. For folks who love to entertain, the property comes with a separate guesthouse and patio space.

New Orleans, LA

3. 7 Painted Feather Way, Las Vegas, NV

Price: $14,500,000 Why it’s here: Are you prepared to raise the stakes? This ultramodern manse on 1.5 acres comes with five beds, eight baths, and 10,743 feet of sleek living space. The interior features floor-to-ceiling windows, an Italian Scavolini kitchen, an indoor basketball court, media room, and wine cellar. Once outside, you’ll enjoy views of the Las Vegas Strip, golf course, and mountains.

Las Vegas, NV

realtor.com

———

2. 2220 Collingwood Blvd, Toledo, OH

Price: $7 Why it’s here: The seller can’t give this house away. Instead, it’s now being offered for a measly $7. That’s a steep cut from the $777 price tag that propelled it to the top of the most popular home listings in March.

But the three-digit price tag didn’t attract a buyer, so now we’re into Venti frappucino pricing territory. In addition to digging out the asking price from between the couch cushions, a buyer must come up with a renovation plan for the historic 5,330-square-foot property in need of a ton of work.

And the offer has been sweetened even more: The seller is willing to replace the roof if a buyer’s offer is accepted. Listing agent Judy Stone, who’s renovated homes in the area, estimates $200,000 worth of work is needed. Plus, of course, the $7 for the home.

Toledo, OH

realtor.com

———

1. 659 1st St, Woodland, CA

Price: $3,850,000 Why it’s here: Known as the Gable Mansion—a California historic landmark—the grand home is “one of the last of its style, size, and proportion in California.”

It was built in 1885 for Amos and Harvey Gable, pioneering Yolo County ranchers, but the mansion fell into disrepair until the early 1970s, when it was brought back to life and received its rightful landmark status.

In the 1990s, the opulent space changed hands again, and was renovated to its stunning state by its current owners, who gave it an extra polish and added a few luxe modern features, including an indoor pool, theater room, an aquarium in the kitchen, and a gym.

The Italianate architecture and design looks more like the interior of a museum than a house, with sparkling chandeliers and intricate ceiling motifs, as well as copious amounts of stained glass.

The eye-popping ornate details have taken the internet by storm and pushed the Gable Mansion to great heights atop the most popular homes.

Klopf Architecture revamps mid-century modern Eichler home in California

San Francisco-based Klopf Architecture has remodelled a house built by Joseph Eichler, the post-war real estate developer who helped introduce modern housing estates to America.

Built in the 1960s, the updated mid-century modern residence is located in the Silicon Valley town of Mountain View. It's one of thousands of middle-class dwellings built by Eichler between 1949 and 1966 – homes often referred to as Eichlers.

Klopf Architecture, a San Francisco-based studio, has deep experience with the noted dwellings. "We have worked on over 100 Eichler homes, ranging from small remodels to complete guts and significant additions," said John Klopf, the firm's founding principal.

For this project – dubbed the Mountain View Double Gable Eichler Remodel – the architects were charged with removing barriers between the kitchen and great room and increasing the size of the master bathroom, among other layout changes.

The team also replaced worn finishes "to make a more sophisticated, higher quality home that looks better and functions better".

"Everyone loved the classic, original bones of this house, but it was in need of a major face lift both inside and out," the studio said.

Rectangular in plan, the residence encompasses 1,953 square feet (181 square metres) and contains three bedrooms and an office. The centre of the dwelling is topped with gabled roofs supported by wooden beams.

The team re-clad the ageing exterior with new siding made of Western red cedar – a material that was also used for the interiors.

A glass front door framed in yellow leads to a landscaped atrium. Occupying a corner of the courtyard is a small office, while the other sides have glazed walls that look into the main living zone.

The team created an open-plan kitchen, living room and dining area by removing partitions. They retained an original brick fireplace and installed cabinetry and an oversized island in the kitchen.

"There's plenty of storage and space for the whole group to prep and cook together," the architects said.

To enlarge the bedroom and bathroom, a master closet was removed and replaced with built-in wooden wardrobes.

Throughout the home, the team used walnut millwork to offset white walls, and grey porcelain tiles to draw connections to concrete floor slabs.

"The continuity of materials and space enhances the sense of flow," the architects said.

Floor-to-ceiling glass enables natural light to fill the interior and provides a strong connection to the outdoors. The backyard features a terrace with a large, custom fireplace.

Other mid-century modern projects include the overhaul of a 1960s home in Seattle by MW Works, in which walls were knocked down and windows were added, and the restoration of the Julius Shulman Home and Studio in the Hollywood Hills by Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects.
