2.0 single-family residential neighborhoods
city of alhambra 2.0 single-family residential neighborhoods 2.1 predominant architectural styles 2.1.1 A Brief Architectural History of Alhambra Most of Alhambra’s current single-family houses developed as part of larger subdivisions, each subdivision assuming a distinct character. Therefore, the character of the different neighborhoods is largely based on development trends and the architectural styles popular during their development. These styles make up the predominant architectural styles existing in Alhambra today; Colonial Revival, Craftsman, Modern, Monterey, Ranch, Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Victorian. The City of Alhambra was originally composed of the smaller communities of Alhambra, Ramona, Shorb, and Dolgeville, with Alhambra located northwest of Mission Road and Atlantic Boulevard; Ramona bounded by Valley Boulevard, Atlantic Boulevard, Hellman Avenue, and Fremont Avenue; Shorb concentrated at the corner of Mission Road and Fremont Avenue; and Dolgeville located north of Shorb. The majority of residential development in the early 1900s was concentrated in these communities. Single-family houses built during this period were predominantly Craftsman, Foursquare, Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial Revival, and Victorian architectural styles. 1902 Map of Alhambra area. The towns of Shorb and Ramona are now part of the City of Alhambra. Source: U.S. Geological Service Map The most significant era of residential development in Alhambra happened during the 1920s and 1930s. New homes filled in existing neighborhoods and expanded onto former farmland such as the Bean Tract in the northeastern corner of the City and Emery Park in western Alhambra. Since most of these houses were being built individually by future homeowners and small contractors, the neighborhoods developed slowly and contained a diverse number of architectural styles and building layouts compared to modern residential projects. The most popular architectural styles during this period were Craftsman, Spanish Colonial Revival, and Tudor Revival with intermittent Colonial Revival, Modern, Monterey, and Ranch houses. In the years after World War II, the last undeveloped and underdeveloped single family residential design guidelines 2-1 chapter 2 : single family residential 2.1 predominant architectural styles portions of the city gave way to single-family neighborhoods. These new neighborhoods included the former Midwick Country Club, the area south of Almansor Park, and the former Alhambra Airport property. Developers and homeowners were embracing the informal and flexible layout and low cost of Ranch style houses in the late 1940s. Almansor Park, the Airport Tract, and much of the Midwick Tract neighborhoods are exclusively Ranch houses with Colonial Revival and Modern touches. 2.1.2 Description of Predominant Styles A. Colonial Revival As the name implies, the Colonial Revival style was a modern revival of architectural styles popular in the thirteen original American colonies. The style first emerged when architectural styles, particularly in the northern and western parts of the city. Colonial Revival houses exhibit considerable diversity because they draw upon a diverse set of inspirations such as early Cape Cod, Garrison, Saltbox, Dutch Colonial, Georgian, and Federal styles. The designs often incorporate simple rectangular volumes and classical details. The front door is accentuated with decorated pediment, supported by pilasters or extended forward to form an entry porch. The facade usually forms symmetrically balanced windows with a center door. Roof elements are typically hipped, gabled, and gambrel. Windows are rectangular in shape with double hung sashes, broken into six, eight, nine, or twelve individual panes. Bay windows, paired windows, and triple clustered windows are also prevalent. Facade walls are typically wood or masonry materials. Decorative cornices are often an important identifying feature. B. Craftsman The Craftsman style, also known as the Arts and Crafts style, was a popular California architectural style during the first three decades of the 1900s. Alhambra contains many Craftsman houses, which are often small, one and one-and-a-half story Craftsman Bungalows, in older neighborhoods in the central, north central, and south central parts of the city. Colonial Revival Style Americans became interested in historic preservation following the country’s centennial celebrations in 1876, but the style became particularly popular in suburban areas during the 1920s. Alhambra has a number of Colonial Revival houses interspersed among the other 2-2 downtown solutions Breaking with European-based architectural traditions, the Greene Brothers of Pasadena, much like their contemporary Frank Lloyd Wright created this new, modern American style. These small to large Craftsman-style houses share Wright’s concern for handcrafted workmanship, unified interior design, and freeflowing spaces, yet differ in overall shape, city of alhambra architectural detailing, and feature an emphasis on wood-frame, rather than masonry, construction. C. Modern Modern architecture, not to be confused with ‘contemporary architecture’, is a term given to a number of building styles with similar characteristics, primarily the simplification of form and the elimination of ornamentation. Although this style was conceived early in the 20th century, very few Modern buildings were built in the first half of the century. Alhambra contains a few Modern-style houses and houses with Modern elements spread throughout the city. Craftsman Style The Craftsman Bungalow architectural style, a smaller version of Greene and Greene’s houses, features shallow pitched roofs of asphalt shingle, and exterior walls of wood shingles, wood siding, or stucco. Roof dormers are pitched or gabeled and large roof overhangs of exposed beams ends are commonly used. Typically one story, the standard form features a covered porch with good sized rooms configured in an open floor plan to eliminate poorly lit entry halls. Windows and doors are generally trimmed in wood. Battered columns, which gradually taper from a wide base to a smaller top, are one distinguishing characteristic. Trellis structures and pergolas are often attached to the structure. Modern Style Historians disagree on the evolution of Modern architecture. Some view the style as primarily driven by technological and engineering developments, while other see Modernism as a matter of taste, a reaction against eclecticism and the lavish stylistic excesses of the Victorian era. By the 1920s, the most important figures in Modern architecture had established their reputations for integrating traditional precedents with new technological possibilities. The three most commonly recognized are Le Corbusier in France, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius in Germany. Frank Lloyd Wright was a major influence on both Gropius and van der Rohe as well as on the whole of “organic” or nature-based architecture. single family residential design guidelines 2-3 chapter 2 : single family residential 2.1 predominant architectural styles Modern architecture was never a dominant residential style, but influenced other residential styles. Modern houses are usually characterized by the following features: rejection of historical styles as a source of architectural form; a simplification of form and elimination of “unnecessary detail”; streamlined shapes such as cubes and cylinders; use of then-new materials such as plywood, reinforced concrete, steel, and chrome; and a belief in the ideal that “form follows function”. D. Monterey The Monterey style is a revival of the Angloinfluenced Spanish Colonial houses of northern California. This style blends pitched-roof Spanish Second floor balconies, integrated beneath the roof include supporting posts that may have ornamental tracery or carved corbels. Windows are typically symmetrical using shutters to create rhythm across the facade. Monterey houses are most prevalent in the western and northeastern portions of Alhambra. E. Ranch The Ranch style house was perhaps the ultimate symbol of the postwar American dream: a safe, affordable house promising efficiency and casual living. California architects created this style in the 1920s based on early Spanish Colonial houses modified with modern Craftsman and Prairie elements. Ranch houses Ranch Style Monterey Style adobe construction with the massed-plan English shapes brought to California from New England. Thus, the Monterey style became a fusion of the Spanish Eclectic and the Colonial Revival. Early examples of this style (1925-1940) favored Spanish elements, while later examples (1940-1960) emphasized Colonial details. Major features include a hipped but low pitched gable roof at the junction of an L-shaped plan. 2-4 downtown solutions usually exhibit an asymmetrical shape and a low-pitched roof with a covering of halfcylindrical tiles or shingles. This style includes deep roof overhangs and exposed rafters with modest traditional detailing. Decorative wooden porch supports and recessed windows are common. Ranch houses are dominant in Alhambra neighborhoods built in the 1940s and 1950s such as the Airport and Midwick Tracts. city of alhambra F. Spanish Colonial Revival G. Tudor Revival Spanish Colonial Revival is a mixture of styles derived from many sources, including Southwestern adobe architecture, late Moorish architecture, medieval Spanish church architecture, provincial Italian architecture, baroque architecture of colonial Spain, and the Pueblo and Mission styles of architecture. Alhambra contains a large number of one-story Spanish Colonial Revival houses in many singlefamily neighborhoods. The style began to gain widespread acceptance with the popularity of the buildings designed by Bertram Goodhue at the San Diego’s 1915 Panama-California Exposition in Balboa Park. During the late 1800s, European-trained architects designed high-style period houses for wealthy Americans. Each period style was identified specifically with architecture of an earlier period and place in America or Europe. One of these styles, Tudor Revival, became especially popular with 1920s suburban houses, loosely based on late medieval prototypes from the rural vernacular architecture of Tudor, England. Alhambra contains a wide variety of one-story Tudor Revival houses in practically every one of its single-family residential neighborhoods. Tudor Revival Style Spanish Colonial Revival Style By the 1920s, Spanish Colonial Revival became “the style” for Southern California. Residences have stucco walls, low-pitched tile roofs, and terra cotta, iron, and cast concrete ornamentation, arches and arcades, and double–hung windows. They utilize asymmetrical, rectangular shapes and often have small courtyards for outdoor living. Many Tudor Revival houses are identified with false (ornamental) half-timbering, a medieval English building tradition, and stucco or masonry veneered walls and cross-gabled plans. Other typical motifs include drip molding, leaded glass, bay windows, twisted chimney posts, prominent gables, steeply pitched roofs with irregular rooflines and asymmetrical massing. A variant of this style is sometimes referred to as the picturesque cottage or English cottage, which typically includes a picturesque (asymmetrical) floor plan but without the half-timbering. Most of the Tudor Revival houses in Alhambra have characteristics of the English cottage variant. single family residential design guidelines 2-5 chapter 2 : single family residential 2.2 neighborhood characteristics inventory H. Victorian In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Industrial Revolution transformed the construction industry. Many building parts were manufactured in mass during the Victorian time period. Windows were also mass produced. Building accents such as round porch columns and window treatments became available to everyone and were dominant features on Victorian houses. Alhambra‘s few Victorian houses are found in the oldest neighborhoods, particularly in the northwestern section of the city. A Victorian house often features a porch across the front that wraps around the corner and down one side, or sometimes both sides of the house. The floor of the porch and the first story may be raised high above ground level. 2.2 neighborhood characteristics inventory As single-family residences in Alhambra have aged, there is increasing pressure to modernize homes, expand them to accommodate growing families, and replace them with larger, newer, more current styles. These changes pose a dilemma in determining how to maintain compatibility between existing homes and new development. The first step in protecting the character of Alhambra’s single-family neighborhoods is to develop an understanding of the features that distinguish these neighborhoods. The following section summarizes the distinguishing features for Alhambra’s twentysix (26) R-1, Single-Family Residential, zoned neighborhoods (shown on Exhibit 2.2-1, Key Map Single Family Neighborhoods). Victorian Style Victorian style houses are simple structures made of wood, usually sided with clapboard siding or stucco. The floor plan is usually divided into a number of different shaped rooms, rather than a simple rectangle of earlier styles. As a result, the roof has many different shapes, angles, and planes. Victorian roofs have many gables facing in all directions. They are usually two stories with the public rooms on the first floor and the private bedrooms on the second. 2-6 downtown solutions St r in Story Park Granada Elementary School 16 East Shorb 4 Bean
