A Home for a Historian
THE MESA PAPER
I
n 1915, women in California could vote in local elections, but they would not be able to vote in national elections until 1920. Nothing stopped women from buying property and having a house built. However, single women doing this were certainly in the minority. The first owner of the home at 212 East Mission Street, Edith Codman, was the daughter of a successful Boston attorney, and she was a graduate of Radcliffe College (1891). Edith was a woman of the great outdoors. She never married, perhaps because she was too busy hiking and gardening. She was a member of the Sierra Club, as well as Santa Barbara’s Nature Study Club and Garden Club. She first visited Santa Barbara in 1903 on a nature excursion, when she was in her early forties. In 1915, she bought the lot at 212 East Mission Street and had this home built. While doing research on Craftsman homes, I found an article from that same year about John Muir, the founder of the Sierra Club, in The Craftsman magazine. The article must have resonated with Edith: “Whoever has learned to call the western trees and wildflowers by name, holds the name of John Muir in reverence. His name will be forever associated with mountains, forests, glaciers, storms, with the big, fundamental facts of nature, and too with its delicate, evanescent, poetic beauty.” In 1920, Edith was part of a group of hikers that camped on Santa Cruz Island for several days. In 1929, she donated a sample of a pine tree from that island to the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum. Edith passed away in 1931, and her brother William Codman, also single, lived in the home until 1943. The present homeowners, the Moss family, have lived here since 1986. They love the old character of their home. They told me that Dr. Edward J. Lamb and his wife, Louise, had lived in the home in the 1940s and 1950s. The homeowners pointed out that the Lambs had also lived in the house at 2405 Santa Barbara Street, which I wrote about in July 2020.
ger, a sci-fi novel about a THE GREAT HOUSE DETECTIVE ham-radio operator on San Miguel Island. I reached out to Dorothy Oksner, also an amateur radio operator. She said that “DX” means distant transmission by radio from and to a distant planned location like an island. According to his obituary in 1988, Tompkins also wrote 1,200 magazine articles, stoby Betsy J. Green ries, and scripts for radio, movies, and television, and he had his own radio show for more than 20 years. The 212 East Mission Street home is a Craftsman-style house, which is why I was looking at The Craftsman magazine, as I mentioned earlier. The home’s wide eaves and decorative brackets are typical of this style. The scalloped picket fence, wreathed with Peruvian lily, sits behind the prettiest parkway on the block that is ornamented with small shrubs and flagstones. These create a natural, homey look that Edith Codman would surely approve of. Please do not disturb the residents of 212 East Mission Street.
Walker Tompkins’s typewriter
The Historian Moves In The most notable residents of the home, however, were Walker A. Tompkins and his family, who moved here in 1960. He is probably the best-known history writer in Santa Barbara. The world catalog website worldcat.org lists 79 nonfiction titles written by Tompkins. Most are history books about this area, which is more than all of us other history writers added together. “Two-Gun” Tompkins worked for decades on a 1928 typewriter, churning out dozens of cowboy novels with titles like Ghost Mine Gold, Border Ambush, and Deadhorse Express. In 1957, he began writing a column titled Santa Barbara Yesterdays for the Santa Barbara News-Press and continued until the 1970s. No matter where you live in Santa Barbara, Tompkins probably wrote a book about your neighborhood: Downtown, the Eastside, Goleta, the Good Land, Hope Ranch, Montecito, Old Mission/Mission Canyon, San Marcos Pass, San Roque, the Mesa, the Riviera, the Samarkand, the Waterfront, and the Westside. Tompkins was also an amateur ham-radio operator. While he lived in this house, he published DX Brings Dan-

What Is Eminent Domain? Q: Marsha, I’ve been following Santa Barbara city’s use
of eminent domain in a property in the 2700 block of De la Vina. Is this legal? How can a governmental agency simply condemn and take private property?
the United States Constitution. Eminent domain is the legal right of a government to take private property for public use. This governmental power was established in the Constitution’s original Bill of Rights. It is known as the “takings clause” in the Fifth Amendment, which also states “… nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” The takings clause states the government may use this power only when it benefits the public. It’s the just compensation language that creates the bulk of the disputes and lawsuits over eminent domain. Eminent domain and our current definition of this clause have been honed by decades of legal actions. What is “public use,” and what defines “just compensation?” The writers of our Constitution left these concepts vague. This has allowed the clause to evolve and be defined by the times in which it is utilized. In Santa Barbara, recent use of eminent domain has concerned public safety and waterways. The use of eminent domain with the De la Vina properties involves Mission Creek and public safety. Sadly, most of the time, Mission Creek is dry. However, when it rains, and Mission Creek is raging, it can be extremely hazardous. There are numerous bridges that cross Mission Creek on the creek’s journey to the Pacific Ocean. The City Coun-

This never happened, and the families had to search for their own housing. Chavez Ravine was razed to the ground and all residents were removed. For a variety of political reasons, the public housing was never built. The vacant land was eventually sold to the Dodgers; Dodger Stadium occupies Chavez Ravine today. Even at that time, there was considerable public resistance to the private use purchase. Many argued that the seized land had to be for public use, such as a zoo or a park. Hopefully, today’s checks and balances on the right of eminent domain work to prevent such governmental abuses.

A: As strange as it sounds, it is legal and is in fact part of
Real Estate Q&A cil voted on May 17 to start eminent domain seizure of four properties in the 2700 block of De la Vina. The century-old bridges on upper De la Vina are not safe and need to be replaced for the public good. Mission Creek has been the focus of the Santa Barbara City Council for some time. In a November 2014 article in the Santa Barbara Independent, by Marsha Gray Nick Welsh reported that in 2009, the city of Santa Barbara entered negotiations with Virginia Castagnola-Hunter to begin construction on her waterfront property, formerly the family-owned Lobster House restaurant. This involved the building of a new Cabrillo Boulevard bridge across Mission Creek. By 2014, the City voted to start eminent domain procedures to acquire the property. The negotiations were stalled over the fair price and compensation issue. While waiting for the value question to be resolved, the owner permitted the bridge construction project to start. Unfortunately, there are examples when governments did not use taken property for the public good. In the 1950s, Los Angeles seized Chavez Ravine from a community of about 1,800 rural and mostly low-income Latino families. The Chavez Ravine families made up a community of homeowners, churches, stores, and parks. The city said they wanted to utilize a federally funded urban renewal project and build low-income public housing. The evicted families were promised first pick of the apartments.
