Howard Hughes lived in a Coates-designed local home
By Suzan Filipek Roland E. Coate was among the architects hired to build dream homes for oil titans, bankers and film moguls in the robust real estate expansion of the first half of the 20th century. Coate was — in what is considered a golden age for home design — a stand-out. Many of his homes are in Hancock Park, and among the houses’ earlier residents
were an eccentric aviator and a girl who would later marry into the powerful Chandler publishing dynasty. Four local houses are among 36 featured in a new book, “Master Architects of Southern California 1920-1940: Roland E. Coate,” published this month by Tailwater Press. The 204-page book is the second in a series co-authored by local real estate agent Bret
Parsons along with architect Marc Appleton and historian Steve Vaught. Coate, an Indiana native, and his bride moved to California in 1920, where he had a position with noted residential architect Reginald Johnson and an instinct that the land was brimming with opportunities. He was soon promoted to partner in the firm of Johnson, Kaufmann, and Coate. By
1924, the partners amicably separated, and Coate’s private practice “got off to an auspicious start with his highly regarded design of All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills.” (Kaufmann would go on to design the Greystone estate in Beverly Hills and the 1935 Los Angeles Times building on First and Spring streets.) Like his contemporaries, Coate was drawn to the archi-
deasy/penner home as art.® This holiday we are thankful for our clients, our neighbors and our friends. “Always accommodating and willing to go the extra mile without hesitation, Michele consistently exceeded our expectations of the entire process and our relationship with our agent. With her combination of consummate professionalism and intuitive personal kindness and consideration she transformed a typically stressful experience into one that was actually pleasant. In addition, Michele, was acutely attuned to our personal taste, needs and desires for our new home and aided us in finding a house in which we are very, very happy. We couldn’t be more pleased with Michele and are grateful for the gift of working with her for this important transition for our family.” ~ Amy & Neal Fraser “Mara is a rolodex of information on everything home. She recommended our architect, kitchen cabinetmaker, bathroom contractor and even a custom curtain maker. She knows everything about houses and has creative ideas to work within many different budgets. But her expertise doesn’t stop there -- she also found me a fantastic local hairdresser!” ~ Jennifer Rissier

tecture of the Andalusia region in Spain; its “climate, landscape and sharp, clear light” being similar to Southern California’s. Throughout the 1920s Coate was partial to Mediterranean-inspired houses. Homes in Hancock Park Among the homes he designed in Hancock Park is the Fudger House at 211 Muirfield Road. The nearly 9,000-square-foot, 30-room home evokes historic Monterey and takes full advantage of its vistas of the Wilshire Country Club. Two years after it was built in 1926, the homeowner, heiress Eva Fudger and her two daughters, moved out. The new renter was aviator, industrialist and motion picture producer Howard Hughes. He ultimately purchased the house for $135,000, and it remained his principal residence between 1928 and 1942. Coate also designed a Regency Revival-style house in 1929 for Lemuel “Lem” Goldwater, who co-founded Cohn-Goldwater and Company, famous for its Boss brand of overalls and considered a pioneer of the Los Angeles garment industry. The rectangular-shaped home includes a series of cubes of different widths and heights, and the home on Hudson Avenue runs lengthwise on its lot, perpendicular to the street, to allow for vistas to the north (until other houses were built — including the next-door house owned for many years by Kay and Walter O’Malley). That same year, Coate was given an “enormous budget of $100,000” to create an English Tudor mansion on Hudson Avenue at First Street. Only the finest materials were used,

cut stone, brick and slate roofing. An oriel window over the Tudor-arched doorway added to the desired effect. Designed for Gertrude K. and Gerald C. Young, the 11,100-square foot home was built in 1929. At the home, a formal English garden added to the Elizabethan mood, and a champion tennis court was probably a favorite of Gerald’s, who was the first winner of the Los Angeles Junior Tennis Tournament in 1903 and president of the Southern California Tennis Association from 1932 to 1954. A year later, on June Street,

Built in 1930, the smallishby-comparison (5,000 square foot home) welcomed the Brant’s daughter Marilyn, a few years after the Brants moved in. She eventually became the first wife of Otis Chandler of the “Los Angeles Times” publishing dynasty and the mother of their five children.

Apartments on Rossmore Ave. Then, walking through the Larchmont Village residential area, they came to the Boulevard and made a lunch stop in the new upstairs real estate offices of Pacific Union. There, the company’s associate manager of the office, Bret Parsons, welcomed the planners. City planning associate and tour organizer Jeff Khau then introduced two locals, Heather Duffy Boylston and John H. Welborne, to talk about Larchmont Boulevard zoning issues and related matters. “Q” conditions Boylston, co-executive director of the Larchmont Village Business Improvement District (BID), described how landlords have encountered numerous challenges since 1991, when the street’s commercial zoning was restricted through the adoption of “Q” conditions. She said that the restrictions are matters that landlords hope to see reviewed and addressed by city planners. Welborne, a member of the board of directors of the Larchmont Boulevard Association (LBA) and vice president of the Windsor Square Association (WSA) agreed with Boylston that fine-tuning of the “Q” conditions is needed. He explained to the planners that the LBA and WSA had worked in the 1980s with city planners and then-Councilman John Ferraro to address a then-new state law requiring that zoning and general plan designations be conformed. Also, Welborne recounted, under the leadership of retired Los Angeles County Planning Director Norman Murdoch, then a WSA board member, the LBA and WSA sought to address changes that were taking away the “neighborhood retail” feel of Larchmont Boulevard. At the time, there was particular concern about proliferating real estate offices and banks, said Welborne. He pointed to illustrations on the (Please turn to page 12)

CIM purchases Desmond’s
CIM Group has acquired The Desmond, an 11-story officeretail building in Miracle Mile, one mile west of the historic Farmers Insurance Building tower in Brookside. Located at 5500 Wilshire Boulevard, the art-deco building originally was built in 1928 for the upscale Desmond’s and Silverwoods department stores. Desmond’s was the first major clothing retailer in the
Miracle Mile when it opened in 1929, with the upper floors of the tower occupied by doctors and professionals. Designed by prominent architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood, the building was designated more than 30 years ago as a Historic-Cultural monument. The Desmond was most recently renovated in 1990, and the striking architecture and interiors were preserved.

Historic Lucerne opened for homes tour
By Suzan Filipek Homewners opened their doors to some 250 attendees of the Windsor Square–Hancock Park Historical Society “Legacies of Lucerne” tour. “It was a wonderful turnout,” Richard Battaglia, Society chairman and event cochair, said of the WS-HPHS fundraiser Oct. 14. “The homeowners were so gracious to open their Medi-
terranean, Beaux-Arts, Italianate and Tudor-style homes to us.” The six stately homes on South Lucerne Boulevard are in historic Windsor Square between Fourth and Sixth streets and date back to the early 1900s. “It seems the attendees and the Society all have a few things in common: beautiful homes, good food and deli-
cious wine,” Battaglia added. The homes featured included Steve and Susan Madoff’s eco-friendly house; Steve and Peggy Davis’ newly created, “incredible” backyard space; and “the most traditional of the homes, at 504 S.

On a rainy Saturday morning in October, the City of Los Angeles Office of Historic Resources and the Los Angeles Conservancy tackled a thorny issue with lawmakers, architectural professionals, housing advocates, and residents of the city’s Historic Preservation Overlay Zones at its Historic Neighborhoods Conference: “Housing and preservation: conflict or opportunity?” Held this year on the grounds of historic Lincoln High School in Lincoln Heights, the conference sessions highlighted challenges and opportunities in the way the city must plan for growth without negating its past. The city has 36 designated HPOZs throughout Los Angeles, and many more potential historic zones have been identified through SurveyLA. They are located in almost every council district and Community Plan area. The vast majority of identified historic resources in the city are residential. They range from single-family residences to prestigious apartment towers, with many multi-family residential configurations in between (duplexes, fourplexes, bungalow courts, and smaller
McAvoy on Preservation by
Christy McAvoy scale apartment blocks). Many of these resources are close to transit corridors, “ground zero” for new construction in the city’s plans. Protecting single-family neighborhoods and the significant multi-family housing stock already existing — while growing the number of housing units in the city — is an issue that calls for sensitivity to the needs of existing homeowners and renters, as well as the fine grain planning that infill projects require in a city that seems largely built out. Tensions high Tensions run high, however, as each individual project is discussed. The October meeting was one attempt to present options for growth using good planning, rehabilitation options, and appropriate protections.

Saul Gonzalez, host of KCRW’s “There Goes the Neighborhood: Los Angeles,” interviewed Assemblymember Laura Friedman; Chancee Martorell, urban planner and founder of the Thai Community Development Center; and Andrew Gross of developer Thomas Safran Associates on their perspectives about community interaction and the need for neighborhood change. Zoning and acquisition costs play a key role in these conversations, and the considerable efforts at outreach identify both real and perceived fears about density and compatibility. History as anchor The use of historic buildings as anchors for projects was discussed by architects Barry Milofsky, Richard Barron, and Arturo Yanez in a panel about preservation architecture’s role in designing infill and affordable housing. Using examples of their own work, the three showed the considerable challenges and fine results that such efforts can play in a community. A second panel also addressed the multi-fam-

Granny flats Efforts to increase housing through the use of ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units or “granny flats”) was addressed in a conversation among city principal planner Ken Bernstein, city planner Matthew Glesne, attorney Deborah Rosenthal, and architect Elizabeth Timme. Location and design, as well as designing appropriate procedures for project review, were discussed. SurveyLA’s continuing role in community plan updates, the growing role of context statements in identifying resources, and the ongoing effort to make the data publicly accessible was discussed by Janet Hansen, SurveyLA coordinator, and Craig Webber of the Planning Department.

Meetings of this nature show that the diversity of neighborhoods in the city and the efforts to protect them are among the city’s signature strengths.

Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. James Fisher was head of the Los Angeles Lunacy Commission (later changed to the Los Angeles Insanity Commission). An innovative heart surgeon who established the heart and lung transplant programs at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Dr. Jack Matloff, later lived in the home. Vera Margaret Myers, who toured with the Ice Capades in the 1950s, and Cuban artist Enrique Martinez Celaya, were among other residents. WS-HPHS committee members for the tour included Laura Cohen, Patty Lombard, Suz Landay, Juanita Kempe, Beate McDermott, Carol Wertheim and event co-chair Jane Gilman. “We are already talking with a few homeowners about a tour next year. I would like to do a different area each year,” Battaglia said. If anyone has a home they’d like to include on a tour, contact rbattagliawshphs@gmail.com.

vice president of the Miracle Mile Residential Association (MMRA). The commission agenda indicates that Tom Bergin’s is owned by Vintage Vices LLC and TK & MK, LLC. The applicants are the Los Angeles Conservancy and the MMRA. The MMRA supplied the Commission and Councilman David Ryu’s office with 650 signatures supporting the designation. “It’s our Cheers, isn’t it?” said Hixon. Built in 1949, most people ask, “Isn’t it already a landmark?” he added. It’s the kind of place neighbors can walk to.

New version of Blackwood addresses key card problems Here are the east and west hands and the bidding: East ♠ KJ965 ♥ AQJ6 ♦ 85 ♣ A3
West ♠ Q8 ♥ 53 ♦ AKJ ♣ KQ9754
The player holding this hand bid 6S and found that it was too high, missing an ace and the trump king. The defenders took her ace of diamonds and, even though the spade finesse worked, declarer lost a trick when South had the KJ9 of spades. A new version of Blackwood has been created that will address problems like this one. It is called Key Card Blackwood. It works like this: Instead of the 4NT bid asking responder for aces, it asks responder how many “key cards” he has. A key card is defined as one of the four aces and the trump king, a total of five key cards. Here are the responses to 4NT: 5 clubs: shows 0 or 3 key cards.
5 diamonds: shows 1 or 4 key cards. 5 hearts: shows 2 key cards without the queen of trump. 5 spades: shows 2 key cards with the queen of trump. If your bidding has not established a trump suit, then the last bid suit is treated as the trump suit in responding to 4 NT. For example, if the bidding has gone: South West North East P 1C P 1S P 2C P 2H P 2N P 4N* P 5D** P 6N * Roman Key Card Blackwood **1 key card with hearts, the last bid suit, as trump Opening lead: 10D Bidding: West got into a bind jumping to 4N so fast, although about the only forcing bid he could make would
Bridge Matters by
Grand Slam be 3D. How this would be interpreted is questionable. If East bid 3N, West is still in a bind about Blackwood. Had clubs been established as trump, East could have then responded 5S to RKC Blackwood showing 2 key cards and the queen of trump. As it was, West was stuck because if he bid 5N, that would be asking for kings. The only way to get partner to stop in 5N would be to bid an unbid suit, which asks partner to bid 5N. Alas, the only unbid suit was diamonds and that was what East bid in response to Blackwood, so West just bit the
bullet and bid 6N. Play: Actually, both 6N and 6C can make. But East, as declarer, ran the clubs, discarding spades, ending her chance to make the contract. The diamond lead into her AKJ gave her 10 cold tricks, 6 clubs, 3 diamonds and one heart. How do you get two more? You can try to finesse the heart king twice, but that’s a 50% play. If it loses, you also lose the ace of spades. There is, however, a 100% play. What you have to do immediately is to set up the spades, and it doesn’t matter how they split. Lead the spade queen. If that holds for the 11th trick, go to the board in spades where you have the king and the jack. When they take the ace, your jack is your 12th trick and you don’t have to take the heart finesse. I played this hand at a club game, playing West. Nobody got to the right contract, 6N,
but us. Just about everyone was in 3N, making 5 or 6. A heart lead (hard to find) holds it to 5. Here are the four hands: North ♠ AT2 Dlr: North ♥ KT42 Vul: N-S ♦ Q742 ♣ JT West ♠ KJ965 ♥ AQJ6 ♦ 85 ♣ A3
East ♠ Q8 ♥ 53 ♦ AKJ ♣ KQ9754
South ♠ 743 ♥ 987 ♦ T963 ♣ 862 Grand Slam is the nom de plume for an author of a bestselling book on bridge, an ACBL accredited director and a Silver Life Master.

(Continued from page 12) Besides its clinker-brick structure and decades of handpainted shamrocks with names of regular customers hanging from the ceiling, its the walkability of the pub that adds to its appeal, which he compared to Larchmont Boulevard. “Part of what makes Larchmont Larchmont is not the vehicles. It’s feet on the ground,” said Hixon. If the commission approves moving forward, staff will be assigned to visit the neighborhood bar and restaurant at 840 S. Fairfax Ave. and to submit a report to recommend monument status or not. The final decision will be up to the City Council.

Turkeys had stiff competition, naughty anca panca origin Was it the Indians who gave us the tradition of eating turkey at Thanksgiving? ponders Edward Mantle. There might have been roasted turkeys at the first Thanksgiving. After all, the fowl was indigenous to Massachusetts, but there is no conclusive evidence. In fact, goose, chicken, pork and roast beef supplied stiff competition from the beginning; and the feast itself wasn’t a firm practice until 1863, when President Lincoln declared it a national holiday. The gobbler became the mandatory main course only after World War II, due to an aggressive national advertising campaign by the turkey breeders who had successfully produced a hybrid, domestic
bird heavy with meat and light in price. The “Pilgrim — Turkey — Thanksgiving” tradition was born.
