The Unseen Art of Franceschi House

Much has been made of the medallions of Franceschi House, commissioned in glass, stone, and wood by the well-traveled, peace-loving Alden Freeman. The medallions, which are visible to the public, add a timeless quality and a bit of mystery to the home. However, there are additional works of art hidden beyond the front door, unseen and virtually unknown.

In a recent installment of the Pearl Chase Society’s Kellam de Forest Speaker Series, Rick Closson gave an absorbing presentation about the art of Franceschi House. The entertaining and informative event was standing room only, and guests lingered long into the night to discuss the magic of the place.

Despite many attempts over the decades to save the house, it is now slated for demolition or “deconstruction,” as the Parks Department puts it with the city promising a “reimagining” of the structure.

In order to “reimagine” it, we must be properly informed about exactly what is contained within the house. According to Jill Zachary, Parks and Recreation Director with the City of Santa Barbara, “We do not have a detailed inventory of the house. It will be developed as part of the Reimagining Franceschi House project.”

Fortunately, we do have a record of the treasures that characterize Franceschi House, thanks to community members who’ve developed deep knowledge of this cherished and meaningful spot as they have visited, photographed, and studied its history and features over the years.

Among the treasures hidden from public view for more than a half-century is a collection of herms. Herms are defined as “a squared stone pillar with a carved head on top (typically of Hermes) used in ancient Greece as a boundary marker or a signpost.” The herms were designed in 1921 by artist Ulrich H. Ellerhusen who also created the Franceschi House signature installation known as “Peace Boy.” Originally, Ellerhusen designed four herms, each topped

with the bust of a historical person representing a major continent and race. The subjects are Frederick Douglass (Africa), Christopher Columbus (Europe), and Confucius (Asia). The whereabouts of the fourth herm depicting Pocahontas (America) are unknown.

Closson first saw and photographed the herms in the basement of the house in 2001. He noted, “At that time, a city worker remembered previously seeing the fourth herm [Pocahontas] in the basement but had no knowledge of when it went missing.” He added, “They have never been on public display in Santa Barbara, but now are separated from their pedestals and stored in the basement.”

Each of the herms is engraved with the names of multiple individuals Freeman admired. Judy Daniel, author of Franceschi: Santa Barbara’s Lost Garden, observed, “They represent a jumbled mix of modern and historic characters: philosophers, authors, musicians, scientists, inventors, and politicians.”

“Through art, Alden Freeman again demonstrated his worldview,” Daniel concluded.

Outstanding examples of stained-glass art are also hidden away in Franceschi House, including a stunning installation of four huge vertical panels depicting natural scenes. Repurposed from the original house on the property, the stained glass was set in place on the second level, near a Gothic stairwell, allowing sunlight to stream in through

the colorful patterns. A circular stained glass window dates to 1927 and was said to have been featured in an exhibit at the county’s Channing Peake Gallery some years ago, but that cannot be confirmed. Its current whereabouts are unknown.

According to Zachary, “The three herms are stored in a safe location in the house. All remaining windows are currently installed in the house. The windows and other items will be removed when the house is deconstructed.” She added that display of the herms and windows will be determined as part of the Reimagining Franceschi House project, noting, “The conceptual plans for the view terrace include potential locations for the display of medallions.”

Photographs of the interior in Daniel’s book (taken in 2008) reveal remarkably unique architectural features, including a dramatic Gothic stairway comprising three flights, as well as a built-in church pew and organ, oversized carved doors, and wooden beamed ceilings.

Clearly, before any further thoughts of demolition take place, there is much to see, contemplate, and protect to properly reimagine this remarkable property its views and interior and exterior features that was so generously gifted to the City of Santa Barbara in 1931.

Clients are saying...

I was referred to Amy and Kristin through an associate who had used them for a home purchase. Our need was for features of a home that were very specific. They searched the area over with a fine-toothed comb and found the perfect place. It was so perfect, in fact, that when it came time to negotiate the heat was on. Their expert guidance made the transaction go off without a hitch. They went above and beyond at move-in time, and when we needed some extra support they delivered. THANK YOU AMY AND KRISTIN. You made a huge difference in our lives.

S.B. Rescue Mission Hosts Fundraiser for Its Shelter and Recovery Programs

On October 5, the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission (SBRM) hosted its annual Bayou celebration at Dos Pueblos Ranch, raising $600,000 for its Homeless Guest Services Program and its Residential Treatment Programs. The former provides critically important shelter, meals, and more to homeless individuals; the latter transforms lives with treatment programs that have success rates far exceeding national averages.

A joyous spirit permeated the crowd of 316 supporters, who are drawn to the nonprofit because of the tremendously positive impact its work has on some of the most vulnerable members of our community. Among the supporters were many Women’s Auxiliary members, who put on the event each year and assist the SBRM year-round.

After an extended reception, guests were seated for a late afternoon dinner and welcomed by President Rolf Geyling, who praised the event honoree, Housing Authority of the City of S.B. Executive Director and CEO Rob Fredericks, for his agency’s provision of housing to vulnerable populations. Calling Fredericks compassionate, innovative, and committed, Geyling related how under Fredericks’s leadership since 2016, the Housing Authority has provided 1,600 affordable homes and 3,000 vouchers to low-income residents.

Transition House Executive Director Kathleen Bauschke delivered a touching tribute to Fredericks. In accepting the honor, Fredericks lauded SBRM, which “provides something equally vital” as his agency does, “a safe refuge for those in need, paired with transformative programs that offer individuals the tools to rebuild their lives. Together, we are community builders and, quite literally, life savers. We are here to support those who need us most, providing not only shelter, but hope and a path to a better life.”

In addressing supporters, Geyling emphasized that for the critically important community services SBRM provides on its $4 million annual budget, it receives no public funding. “Simply put, we won’t be able to turn on the lights this evening, unless someone gives us a dollar to do so.”

Homelessness must be viewed as a problem of human beings struggling, Geyling pronounced, and people of faith

and compassion are compelled to respond. What’s more, he noted, SBRM has been going beyond providing food and shelter, addressing the complex circumstances individuals face.

In an interview, Geyling explained that under its Transitional Shelter Pilot Program (TSP), launched last year, SBRM has been providing focused case management and a more stable environment to some shelter clients, allowing them to remain on-site during the day. Especially for those with infirmities, Geyling noted, there is a humane need to not leave them to struggle on the street. Previously, all shelter clients had to exit for the day after breakfast.

Of the 117 individuals who entered the program last year, 58 have exited to positive placements: permanent housing, a recovery program, or an appropriate care facility. The program addresses a common challenge, Geyling related, of going from the street to being ready for a recovery program. Just two weeks of monitored care has increased the participant’s ability to engage in a recovery program.

In light of this success, SBRM is doubling its case management staff of two and opening the program to anyone in the shelter who wants to participate. According to Geyling, “The more contact we can give individuals with caring case managers who work in concert with other providers, the more helpful we will be.”

Turning in his remarks to treatment programs, Geyling noted the dismal success rate of programs nationally, with only one in five people wh0 start completing them; and of those that do complete, only one in five maintain recovery for at least five years. In SBRM’s programs, Geyling shared, participants are able to stabilize over a generous 12-month period, while surrounded by people of faith, compassion, and clinical expertise. The results are remarkable: a graduation rate of 41 percent, and a five-year-out recovery rate of 63 percent. SBRM also boasts incredible employment rates, with 100 percent employment for last year’s graduates. Begun in 1997, the Residential Treatment Programs this year had their 1,000th graduate.

Immediate past board president Joyce McCullough made the pledge appeal, noting the effectiveness of the treatment programs, whose staff include many program graduates with a

keen understanding of the issues participants face. She pointed also to the cost effectiveness of the nonprofit’s programs, which are 85 percent less than the national average. A residential treatment program graduate, now a Cal Poly student, shared his courageous, moving story of addiction and recovery thanks to SBRM.

SBRM provides food and shelter 365 nights a year, last year providing 58,897 nights of shelter and 111,170 meals. Its Men’s Residential Treatment Program, for the 12 months ending September 2024, enrolled 48 men and had a whopping 25 graduate. The Women’s Treatment Program had 45 intakes and a lesser number, but still quite impressive, of 15 graduates, with their lives transformed.

Cargo and Tanker Ships Powered by Wind?

Our consumer economy severely overtaxes planetary resources. Ideally, we would begin shifting from creating artificial demand through incessant advertising and from built-in obsolescence to more durable and repairable products and more thoughtful purchasing. Research shows that spending more time in nature, and doing more educational, artistic, social, and spiritual activities leads to more wellbeing and happiness. In the near term,

we need to cut back on carbon emissions and resource intensity connected with our consumerism.

Ninety percent of the world’s goods are transported by sea, using mostly diesel fuel. Shipping constitutes 3 percent of all global emissions. In Santa Barbara County, shipping through the channel is the biggest contributor to local air pollution. Interest is growing, however, to change our shipping systems.

year to grade each ship on cargo carrying capacity and carbon dioxide emissions per nautical mile. The worst rated will be required to take corrective action or forced to cease operation. The IMO’s goal is zero emissions by 2050. The European Union’s Emissions Trading System is requiring shippers to start paying for their carbon emissions starting next year.

For more than a decade, some cargo and tanker ships have been experimenting with wind-assisted propulsion as a means of reducing fuel consumption. Of the 30-plus ships piloting such technologies, most are using some form of movable wind wings made from metal and fiberglass. The articulations are fully automated. The concepts have been mostly adopted from high-tech racing boats.

A French startup is shifting the paradigm even more. It is presenting a solution that is both novel and based on centuriesold technology. It has built a totally windpowered cargo ship that has just completed its first transatlantic voyage. Because of recent advances in meteorological modeling, satellite communications, and routing technologies, it can harness winds for reliable propulsion and commercial viability. By using carbon-fiber masts (both

lighter and stronger), it can double the area of sails, capture more wind, and significantly increase propulsion. It doesn’t need a team of sailors to manage the rigging; instead, a single remote controller deploys its 30,000 square feet of sail.

The company has already built a second ship and has orders for six more. At present, the container capacity is only about a twentieth of large cargo ships. It will undoubtedly increase as have electrical wind turbines. Rates are slightly higher, but those who are shipping are often willing to pay a little more to reduce their carbon footprint. Moreover, wind-powered shippers can offer longterm, fixed-price contracts, thus avoiding the wild price fluctuations of fossil-fuel shipping.

It has been more than a century since the last transoceanic cargo shipping powered by wind. It seems possible, however, that wind power may be the future of marine shipping.
