COMPLETED APPLICATION RECEIVED: -0 ISignature Title Date 4 -2- - • Descriptions 'The Balboa Inn is a group of two buildings, two and three stories in height, predominantly Spanish Colonial Revival in style, constructed in 1930 on the Boardwalk at Main Street in Balboa. Exterior features are distinctive of the popular style, appropriate to its Southern California coastal area setting. These features include massive, low. smooth stucco walls; red tile hipped roofs; three towers, one up to five stories; and other structural features and design details associated with the style, use, period, and orientation of the building. Construc- tion is of stuccoed masonry reinforced by steel beams and rods on a concrete foundation. The layout of the buildings on the approximately 113 acre beachfront site includes one large, L- shaped building '(135' x 95'5 with a rectangular second building (89' x 431) in the area formed by the legs of the L. It is the latter building that faces the ocean and makes up the front, south facing, facade. The second principal facade (eastside) faces Main Street, and on the north and west sides are alleys and other buildings. In between the two Inn buildings — • is the resulting smaller L- shaped courtyard. The impression given by the pair is of one building, and in fact, the buildings are now connected by a second floor.terrace at the short leg of the L. The exterior of the building is essentially unaltered from its time of construction and subsequent years of historical ,significance. The fenestration and window shape and design are configured and arranged according to,the location and uses of the buildings, which were originally built for hotel rooms and apartments'on the upper floors and shops and restaurant on the ground floor. These uses are perpetuated in the rehabilitation. On the upper floors on all but the west facade (where there are no windows) there are recessed openings, horizontally rectangular for multiple casement windows. On the ground floor are large arched openings — with storefront style plate glass windows and doors as well as multipaned transoms above in the arched area. Framing the windows on the bottom are polychromatic Spanish the bulkheads. Above, between the windows, historic period photos show carriage lantern style, wall - mounted light fixtures, none of which remain, but which will be the models for replacemnt fixtures. KI t� ,r. Page 2 Several of the design elements that help to distinguish the building provoked Gebhard /Winter in Guide to Southern California Architecture to describe the construction as the Spanish Colonial Revival in the simplest of surfaces, but with parts of the construction as Andalusian and others as having a Regency and Moderns touch. In association with the windows are a number of these details of interest, primarily on the oceanfront and Main Street facades. These details include five heavy, brac- keted second floor window boxes that protrude out in a form modelled after a raised band that runs around the rectangular building at the same level.(Original plans refer to this as'�plaster run moulds ") The first floor windows below are separated by flush pilasters with simple capitals and bases that repeat in a less pronoun- ced way the forms of the band and balconies. These first floor windows have always had some awnings, as have others around the building at varying times. The L- shaped building is also banded just below the second floor - windows as well as at the roof line. Hoeever the oceanfront, facade treatment of this building differs, with three • heavy columns and arches creating a recessed, first floor area in front, of the arched storefront windows and business doors. Above, the columns are repeated on a smaller scale forming a second floor loggia. On the corner next to the courtyard is a second floor Moorish styled false chimney. The towers complement the otherwise low, horizontal feel of the buildings with vertical elements of appropriate scale, materials, and basis. At-the primary corner of . the Boardwalk and Main Street, a simple tower rises one extra floor with features such as a molded plaster corner entry treatment, a molded band, and clover shaped plaster vents. Atop the three story building on the long leg of the L toward the rear is an unadorned "penthouse" box originally designed to accomodate an elevator that was never installed here. The skylight remains. The main tower situated at the junction of the L, rises two extra stories and exhibits the most ornate features of 'the Inn. They include a tile topped, mock, bell cupola; tile and plaster vents of varying shapes; and an ocean facing large porthole; Four plaster finials and a walkway with wrought iron railing are gone but will be restored. Wrought` iron i.is also used elsewhere in railings, window grills, and other details. • Page 3 • Other exterior details have included wood spindles in the transoms, wood and wrought iron railings, stencilled beams and brackets, and stylized are hed windows- all on -' the courtyard facing walls. Those significant features which remain will be retained or, along with other features shown on the original plans, used to pattern some design details in the rehabilitation. The interiors were not designed with the same architectural detail as the exterior of the building, as is evidenced in the original plans and substantiated through interviews. The plans show some details such as false fireplace mantels, none of which remain. The design for these mantels shown — in the plans may be used for replicas in hotel rooms. Several remodellings have been undertaken with substantial interior demolition on the second and third floors as shown in 1963 and 1974 remodel plans. However, most walls - load bearing,.demising, plumbing, and corridor- remain from the historic period and will be retained.,On the first floor the wall configuration remains mostly intact, with the exception of a new kitchen area-for the restaurant. The interior design features apparently never were significant and whatever original fabric there was, as utilitarian as it may have been, is now gone. — • The general: setting of the Inn includes buildings from the late 1920's and early 30's on the north and east sides. On the west is a•1970's condominium complex of similar scale. Across the Boardwalk is a 1950's added swimming pool and octagonal cabana joined to the second floor court- yard terrace of the Inn by a small bridge. The key to the setting of the Inn is its oceanfront location on the Balboa Peninsula and its proximity to the Main Street/ Balboa Boulevard intersection of similar vintage buildings. These elements remain intact. It is possible that this project will be a catalyst for other restoration in the immediate area. • I� • Significance: The Balboa Inn is significant for its role in the development of the-Balboa/Newport Beach area as a major resort, emphasizing the property's commerce and enter- tainment •associations as a hotel, restaurant, and shop building in which many, people. including prominent figures in the movie and music industries, were regular patrons. The pair of buildings is architecturally sig- nificant as an excellent example of Spanish Colonial Revival coastal resort architecture that has retained exceptional architectural integrity, was designed by a regionally prominent architect, and developed by locally significant figures. The Inn was built in 1930 for $84,000 at a time when Newport Beach was leading Orange County in construction -because of its role as a regional entertainment boom- town, despite the Depression which was otherwise curtai- !ling building activity elsewhere. Balboa had, since the turn of the century, been one of Orange County's coastal settlements whose beach resort status began with "weekend tents and summer shacks ". The towns on the Peninsula, Balboa and Newport Beach, of which Balboa is now a part, were settled in the late 19th - century first, because of • the commercial viability as a landing. Later, they sur- vived by adapting to and fighting for roles as rail ter- _ minuses, a harbor, and finally a resort and permanent community. As early as 19051 Balboa achieved a stature with the completion of the large bay side, Balboa Pavillion•and _ the arrival of the Red Car line. However, it was not until the 1920's and 30's when, boosted in part by several public works projects such as Santa Ana River, Newport Harbor, Coast Highway, piers and jetties, and = roads and utilities, the stage was set for Balboa to emerge as a major resort. An integral part of this emergence, and subsequent success, was the Balboa Inn. Several hotel's had .preceded the Inn, but none was ope- rating in 1930• With the exception of some Pater motor courts, no other hotel operated in Balboa during the ` 30's and 40's as the town gained national prominence as a Depression Era'and Big Band Bra entertainment destina- tion. M I 0 Page 2 _ ' The Balboa Amusement. Company in 1928 built the Rendezvous Ballroom, the Ritz 'Theatre, and expanded the OceanFront BathHouse, all within a block of the Balboa Inn site. The Rendezvous Ballroom located next door until it burned down in 1965, attracted bands, singers, and prominent patrons who came by Red Car or by automobile from through- out the region for the next two decades. They stayed, they ate, And, since there was no drinking at the Rendez- vous, they drank at the Balboa Inn. Interviews wi•th;,the - original owners, and former employees of the Inn, along with newspaper articles, confirm the regular patronage of the hotel, restaurant, and bar of a veritable Who's Who in the music and movie industries of the day. These include Glenn Miller, Stan Kenton, Gene Krupa and, the Dorsey brothers as well as Gary Cooper, Humphrey Bogart, Errol Flynn, Cary Grant, and Gosden and Charles Correll (Amos ±n' Andy), and many others. As the only hotel in town, stars, cast, and crew often took over the Inn during the frequent filming of movies on the Bay. Some people came from the summer homes on the islands, some came for the hotel rooms, some came for the Cove Restau- rant and its famous chef Henry Jones (first black Orange County restaurant chef), some came apparently for the liquor, including during Prohibition when several Volstead Act violations for employees of the Inn's Breakers Phar- macy were reported in the newspapers. (The Inn's five story tower, was the highest point in the immediate area and is recalled as a milepost for bootleggers who delivered to Balboa. It is still listed on navigational charts as "The Tower ".) The original developers of the Inn were Mickey and Henry Walker and Alfonse Hamman, local businessmen and drugstore operators. Mr. Hamman was a prominent figure in the com- munity in business, proprietor of the Breakers Pharmacy, longtime Postmaster, and is perhaps best remembered lo- cally as still-the holder of the national fishing record for Blue Marlin at 692 lbs. This partnership had a thri- ving operation including $300 a month apartments even during the Depression. However in 1935. a year after -the repeal of Prohibition, they lost ownership to Los Angeles attorney Edward Horace Allen, the owner and lessee of the land on which the Inn is built. Mr. Allen and his wife Page 3 subsequently moved into the Inn and operated it. Title can be traced forward to include Wally W. Holder, who operated the Inn; Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Weber, who operated the.CoM Prep School in the Inn in the late Sixties; Pulaski and Associates, who returned it to a hotel; Chien S. Wang; and the current ownership, Griswold's, which is currently restoring it to a first class hotel. The Inn is architecturally significant as an excellent example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with a virtually unaltered exterior, in an oceanfront /resort town setting that retains integrity to the 1930's -40's period of significance. Gebhard /Winter deexibe the Inn •� as a "handsome group of low white stucco buildings ". The buildings are simply executed with stylistically ,varied features blended nicely for an impression that epitomizes the period, the southern California beach - front setting, the regionally prototypical Spanish Co- lonial Revival Style, and the role of the building as a hotel/ restaurant /bar in a thriving Depression Era • and Big Band Era resort town. The building was designed by Walter Roland Hagedohm, _ who at the time had only recently established his firm, but who was to later gain regional prominence. Mr. Hagedohm (1901 -1976) was educated at the University of California, Berkeley and USC. After eight years as a draftsman for private firms, he established his own firm in 1927. He worked extensively on Union Station in Los Angeles and various homes and other buildings in the LA area In the Thirties. From 1940 -1949, in which year he was listed in Who's Who on the Pacific Coast, Mr. Hagedohm was active in civic, professional, and Lutheran church affairs.

One very viable one would be for the merchants at Fashion Island to put on a fashion show at OASIS during our December 15 Fund Raising Kickoff. A new worker for R.S.V.P, Carol Quartucci, visited OASIS July 30 to ascertain our needs regarding volunteers. I explained that most of our volunteers are Friends of OASIS members.

An interest sheet is in the fron office. The Irvine Senior Citizens Council Visited OASIS on August 1 as a study tour of several centers in preparation for building their new center.
