Original Owner: Reverend Mrs. E.J. Scudder Year Built: 1888-1889 Architect: Believed to be Peter J. Barber

efore the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission on East Yanonali Street, there was The Faith Mission at 409 State Street, where the Reverend Mrs. E.J. Scudder offered religious services, meals, short-term lodging, and other ways to help the less fortunate. Upon its opening in January 1890, the Weekly Independent wrote, “The Mission is doing a good work in Santa Barbara in reclaiming young men from their erring ways and pointing out to them the right path to follow to enable them to become good Christians and worthy members of society.” Though it has never officially been confirmed, it is believed to have been designed by the celebrated Santa Barbara architect Peter J. Barber, who was involved with several early designs, including Santa Barbara College, the Upham Hotel, the second Santa Barbara County Courthouse, the Arlington Hotel, and the remodeling of the Lobero Theatre. The Faith Mission was originally constructed from 1888 to 1889. The lower State Street address was centrally located in the hub of Santa Barbara’s commercial center, where the city was undergoing a building renaissance of many architectural styles. The property demonstrates a modest Victorian edifice with Eastlake overtones. That vernacular is named for Charles Locke Eastlake (1836-1906), an English architect and author whose designs flourished during the latter half of the 19th century, largely attributed to heavy ornamentation placed on sidings, doorways, windows, and ceilings. One of the most unique elements is the horizontal axis of the roofline, which is covered in galvanized steel and stamped with a decorative ornamentation, giving almost a sculptural appearance. Additional features include ornamental mounts anchored above the windows and doorways, which evoke a massive and robust quality. Within a few years, the financial constraints of running the mission proved too challenging, as Mrs. Scudder was unable to meet her current payments. In late 1895, Mr. E.H. Penfield foreclosed the mortgage, but with the aid of benefactors, the property was placed into a trust and Mrs. Scudder continued as operator. In the early 1900s, it was also home to the Associated Christian Relief Association. In years prior to World War I, the Hitchcock missionary family of Santa Barbara managed the facility. By 1929, Kenneth Ahlman was the new owner and proprietor, and in 1931, the name Hotel Savoy appeared in the city directory. During World War II, the hotel was a favorite of servicemen who sought less-than-honorable services inside the upstairs suites. In recent years, the building has served as both office suites and as various restaurant-nightclubs, today known as the Blind Tiger. It is one of the few remaining 19th-century commercial buildings still intact that has not undergone noticeable structural or location changes, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

409 State Street
y first real road trip as an adult was during my sophomore year of college. My friend Tricia and I planned a long weekend, driving my VW bug from San Diego to the Bay Area. What should have been a pretty uneventful straight shot up Interstate 5 became interesting when an unseasonably early snow caused a closure of I-5 at the Grapevine. We could have canceled our plans and gone back home, but we were ready for adventure and not easily dissuaded by a little snow. In those pre-Google, precell phone days, we stopped, looked at our map, and traced what appeared to be the most logical alternate route: cutting up the coast on the 101. This is how I first experienced Summerland. As Tricia and I trekked along, not quite sure how long this detour would take, Summerland arose before us: houses clinging to the side of the mountain, awash in shades of cute. Having grown up a sunshine lover, I pledged that I would one day live in this beach town called Summerland that we found because of snow. Flash-forward some 30 years, and while I haven’t exactly made good on that pledge quite yet, I do live close enough to often enjoy the beachy allure of Summerland. I thought about this allure as I headed toward an open house on a recent Sunday afternoon. Summerland gazes toward the ocean, skipping details like sidewalks and focusing instead on the endless horizon view. The home at 2521 Banner is on a large, prominent lot yet feels secluded. As you walk from the street toward the house, the hideaway feeling begins as you pass beneath a huge palm tree to reach the entrance. The front door itself features a speakeasy window, enhancing the impression that you’re about to step foot into a secret clubhouse. Once you’re inside, every window and door opens onto that view. Stepping into the living room, huge doors invite you out to the patio. Even the built-in shelves are “backless” and use the ocean as their backdrop. If you can tear yourself away from the view long enough to notice the details, the living room offers a huge stone fireplace, Saltillo tile floors, a balcony, and super high ceilings. The formal dining room opens to the patio, as well, and the kitchen boasts a beautiful granite countertop, stainless-steel appliances, and windows over the sink. You even get that view when you’re washing dishes. From this main floor, staircases lead to bedrooms both above and below. The three floors of living space give this home versatility and options for shared living. Downstairs there are two bedrooms and a full bath that take advantage of lush landscaping, giving it a secret-garden feel. The two bedrooms and two full baths upstairs take advantage of— of you guessed it—the view. The top floor deck provides both bedrooms with a sweeping vista all the way from Santa Barbara to Ventura. If that’s not romantic enough, imagine sunsets and sea breezes next to your private fireplace in the master bedroom suite. It feels like you’re at the top of your own faraway tree house. Snow may have led me to Summerland that first time, but now it beckons to me by sparkling in the sunshine, promising a feeling of summer vacation forever. I reluctantly left this three-story Santa Fe–style tree house and headed off to—where else?—the beach.

Caring for Backyard Grapevines

I have three grapevines in the backyard. One is green, and two are red. Both fruited early this year and were eaten by raccoons. Lately, the leaves have started to turn color and fall, but all of a sudden, I’m getting new growth and tons of new fruit clusters! What’s up capcapcap with my dormant yet fruiting grapes? Should I wait to prune them or give them therapy?

any people still believe that a house can be over insulated and sealed too tightly. They are convinced that such a house will have unhealthy air and be contaminated with toxins. Such thinking confuses tightness and air quality. Houses need to be constructed as tightly as possible. However, as they become ever tighter, for energy-conserving reasons, mechanical ventilation becomes a necessity. Controlled ventilation is the best strategy for dealing with outgassing and inadequate air changes. A heat recovery ventilator (HRV) is one device that provides automatic fresh air while exhausting stale air, thereby creating a healthy indoor environment. Because the heat exchanger in these appliances transfers heat from one air stream to another, many people, even some builders, refer to these units as space heaters. They are not. During the winter, operating an HRV will actually lower the indoor air temperature as it pulls the warm, stale indoor air through the heat exchanger, transferring most of its heat to the cool, incoming fresh-air stream — but not 100 percent of it. The efficiency of the heat transfer is around 80 percent. An HRV, however, is much more effective than cracking a window in winter where any escaping air takes the maximum amount of heat with it by Dennis Allen and the incoming fresh air is not preheated in any way. While it’s true that an HRV recovers heat that might otherwise escape to the great outdoors, operating one will not lower your energy bills. The Panasonic units that I like service a home of about 2,000 square feet and cost about $350. They use less electricity than a 40-watt lightbulb (actually 23 watts), are easy to install, and operate very quietly. They are typically installed in a hall ceiling and have two four-inch ducts that run in the attic to the exterior. As a stand-alone device, an HRV uses a small amount of power, but compared to the cost of heating cold winter air that enters through a window in a home without mechanical ventilation, there is a big net saving on energy bills. Another confusion is that because an HRV brings air in from the outdoors, people think it can provide makeup air for the kitchen range-hood fan that can cause depressurization problems. Being a balanced ventilation device — providing the same rates of incoming and outgoing air — it does not add any additional air and therefore does not rectify the negative pressure created by any appliance that sucks air out of the house. An HRV can be a key component in making a tight house also a healthy one. By providing a quiet, constant flow of preheated fresh air at low cost, the HRV is fast gaining acceptance.

no se les c***** los animales.” (Cover your fruited grapes with small wire mesh, so the animals don’t mess with you.) 3) “Sigue les regando.” (Keep watering like you normally would.) 4) “Podelas en enero o febrero.” (Prune in January or early February.)
And like that, your grapevines should be back to normal. Happy eating!

Mission Canyon
by Dusk Donahue
Extending from the Santa Barbara Mission up into the wild Los Padres National Forest, Mission Canyon is forested by ancient oak trees and dissected by winding country roads. Though just a few minutes from the convenience of downtown Santa Barbara, these single-family foothill homes range from small creekside cabins to mega-mansions with expansive views. It’s like living the country life with a cosmopolitan city just a drive, bike, or hike away.
Area highlights
The Neighbors: Hippies, farmers, con-
You’ll Love: Walking through the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden at dawn, hiking up to Inspiration Point for sunset, picnicking at Rocky Nook Park, and biking at top speed right past the Old Mission to your downtown office. Perfect For: Nature lovers, hikers, climbers, bikers, painters, and anyone who appreciates old oak trees.
Around the Area
The Chumash lived along what today is known as Mission Creek for millennia, and the Spanish quickly dammed up the creek in the late 1700s to develop the Mission and Presidio. People have been building homes there ever since, from the flatter lands near Rocky Nook Park to the hilltops along Las Canoas Road into the bohemian stretch of Mountain Drive. About 2,500 people live in the community today, including plenty of families, though many thousands more visit regularly to check out the museum,

Mission, Botanic Garden, and amazing hiking trails that start at the end of Tunnel Road. There is a catch, though, and that is the threat of wildfires, which tend to roll through the region every couple of decades. That imbues the entire neighborhood with a palpable sense of living for the moment and forces all residents to remember what really matters in life. Living alongside deer, coyotes, cougars, hawks, and the occasional black bear is just icing on this natural-lifestyle cake.
OCTOBER 22, 2015
Mission Canyon is so named because the Santa Barbara Mission sits at its mouth, and this “Queen of the Missions” provides quite a stunning transition from downtown Santa Barbara to this rural community that’s dotted with oak trees older than town. Just past the Mission is the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, a working research institution that formally celebrates the great outdoors, and then in the center of the canyon is the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, another amazing ode to nature. Taken together, the mission, museum, and garden paint a perfect picture of what to expect in Mission Canyon, where one can live in a place that blends a love of nature with the flavor of California history and pioneering homesteaders.

Barbara’s best-known architect, to design an Italianatestyle residence to be built around the adobe Heath had built on the property 20 years before. Heath lived in this house the rest of his life, dying in 1911. Three years later, after a disastrous flood that ravaged the South Coast, Heath’s son, James, sold the family farm. The property passed through the hands of a number of owners until the parcel that included the Heath home was sold for a housing development in 1968. In 1972, with the razing of the house imminent, the Carpinteria Valley Historical Society moved to save what was left of the residence. Today, two walls of the adobe structure, declared both a Santa Barbara County and a City of Carpinteria

advantage of his time spent working for a law firm back in New York, Heath was admitted to the California State Bar in 1852 and became Santa Barbara district attorney the following year. During the 1850s, Heath would also hold down the position of county sheriff and be elected to the State Legislature. He then filled one more term as district attorney before turning his full attention to farming in 1862. In 1858, Heath bought 52-plus acres in the Carpinteria Valley for just over $300. He found clearing the land of the many oak trees a daunting task; in some cases, clearing one acre could cost up to $200. Heath persevered, and after a few years his farm boasted lemon and orange groves, thousands of grapevines, and one of the largest walnut orchards in the state. Despite the time and energy devoted to his farm, Heath remained active on the local scene, serving on the first board of the Montecito School District and helping to push through the construction of a wharf at Serena— Serena roughly where the polo fields are today—to serve the Carpinteria Valley. In 1881, Heath hired Peter Barber, Santa

or almost 60 years, Russel Heath played a prominent role not only on the local scene but on a statewide level, holding a number of public positions. Born in 1826 in New York state, he was drawn to the West Coast by California’s gold fields in the late 1840s and early 1850s. His journey was a difficult one. First, he became seriously ill while crossing the Texas plains. Upon reaching the Pacific, he joined a group that chartered a ship to take them to San Francisco. Cholera broke out on board, and the ship became lost for weeks because the captain had no navigation charts. With food running out, the passengers forced the captain to land them near Point Conception. Heath and the others then walked to Santa Barbara, where they engaged overland passage to San Francisco, arriving there several weeks before their ill-fated ship. Heath, after laboring for two years in the Mother Lode, returned to Santa Barbara in the early 1850s. Friends dissuaded him from following through on a plan to seek his fortune in Mexico, and he decided to make Santa Barbara his home. Taking
