The Altadena Historical Society Stands with Black Lives Matter<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="border: none; font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin: 7.5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Altadena Historical Society was founded in 1935 to document and share the history of Altadena. Every day history is being made, and now, amid a global pandemic, we are coming to grips with the realities that the Black community has faced for centuries, and it is painful to watch. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="border: none; font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin: 7.5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We stand today with the many residents of Altadena in the fight against injustice, systemic racism, and erasure. The Altadena Historical Society will continue to engage in a positive dialogue around these issues and change the course of history through storytelling. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="border: none; font-family: Calibri; margin: 5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Black people have unjustly suffered injury and death since the earliest beginnings of this country. More recently, people like George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Armaud Arbery, Trayvon Martin, and Emmett Till have died at the hands of police and racist individuals.</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="border: none; font-family: Calibri; margin: 5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">They, along with millions of other Blacks, suffer from what historian Carol Anderson called “the longest ongoing saga in American history.” Their names and their stories, along with so many others, will be recorded in history because they died at the hands of injustice and racism. We need to tell their stories. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="border: none; font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin: 7.5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In our commitment to diversity, inclusivity, and mutual respect, and to create a historical record that documents the experiences of unheard and marginalized voices, we must listen to and amplify the demands of people and communities of color. We must continue to listen, document, and expose the injustices so many have suffered for centuries, and develop ways to fund new projects and programs to expand these efforts. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="border: none; font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin: 7.5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Altadena Historical Society is committed to eradicate racist methods and practices that erase the full, and often painful, history of our entire community. We are working towards including all of Altadena’s past in our archives, and we know we have much more to do to reach this goal. As recently as this year, our “Hidden History” project had its second successful event. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="border: none; font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin: 7.5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The “Hidden History” project aims to create historical records of the many diverse residents of Altadena; the Black families who have lived here for decades, the indigenous populations who lived here originally, the Japanese Americans who were forcibly relocated and incarcerated during World War II, and the Latinx community that has enriched our area over the past few decades. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="border: none; font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Altadena Historical Society will not marginalize the voices of people of color in our community. We will expand and improve our programs to be inclusive and informative on the subject of race relations. We will tell their stories. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="border: none; font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="border: none; font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We are committed to listening and documenting those voices along with White voices. We are committed to <span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">abolishing the gross inequities between White communities and Black communities by documenting a complete and accurate history. Although history, as it unfolds, may be uncomfortable, it is important that future generations see, hear, and know stories and events that are relevant and representative in order to change the course of history for the better. </span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 18px;">We wish farewell to our friend and supporter Heinz Ellersiek, who passed away recently at age 98. A Caltech history professor, emeritus, in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences for 38 years, Heinz often visited AHS archives to share his love of history, people and views on current Altadena events and preservation. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;">Heinz periodically donated precious documents, photos and ephemera to an already extensive collection given to us by his wife, Astrid, who passed away in 2002.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;">In 2004 Caltech recorded and archived an <a href="http://oralhistories.library.caltech.edu/134/1/OH_Ellersieck.pdf" target="_blank">oral history</a> wherein Heinz discussed his childhood, education, and military intelligence training. He also commented on his professional experiences during the years of the cold war, as well as his continuing involvement in Pasadena and Altadena preservationists issues.</span></div>

<br />
<b>But here we are shamelessly begging for more! You can help continue preserving Altadena history with a tax-deductible end-of-year donation. </b><br />

Once-popular trails in the front range of the San Gabriel Mountains that have fallen into disrepair or disappeared will be rediscovered by historian Paul Ayers.<br />
<br />
Ayers, an attorney and San Gabriels historian, will illustrate his talk with some of the scores of vintage photographs and postcards he has collected over 25 years of researching and restoring Altadena trails.<br />
<br />
He will share his research methods, which include using historic aerial photographs, old maps, trail artifacts, and personal exploration.<br />
<br />
Altadena Historical Society has endorsed Ayers’s ongoing project of locating once-popular campsites that flourished across the front range of the San Gabriels, but have mostly reverted to a natural state.<br />
<br />
The program, which is free and open to the public, will be in the Community Center, 730 E. Altadena Drive. The Community Center is immediately west of the Sheriff’s Station and south of Rite-Aid.

The little-known stories of California Institute of Technology’s rocket-development programs in the 1930s and ‘40s at its Jet Propulsion Laboratory will be told by historian Erik M. Conway at the next quarterly meeting of the Altadena Historical Society.<br />
<br />
<b>The program will be at 7:30 p.m. Monday Jan. 22 at the Altadena Community Center, 730 E. Altadena Drive, and is free and open to the public.</b><br />
<br />
The Historical Society’s current exhibit, “Five Men Inspired by the San Gabriels,” will be open prior to and after the program.<br />
<br />
“Caltech’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory at Altadena’s northwest corner is often known as a center of planetary exploration, but it was originally founded to develop rocket technology in the 1930s,” said Conway, a JPL staff historian.<br />
<br />
“Far less known is that Caltech had a second rocket project during World War II that ultimately spun off what is now the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Center. In my talk, I’ll tell the story of these two rocket projects and suggest why they took such very different paths.”<br />

Sometimes called “Southern California’s John Muir,” Will Thrall dedicated his life to the preservation of the San Gabriel Mountains. <br />
<br />
Thrall’s acclaimed biographer, Ronald C. Woolsey, will present a program on his life story at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 23 at the Community Center, 730 E. Altadena Drive, sponsored by the Altadena Historical Society.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Woolsey will accompany his talk with an exhibit of memorabilia about Thrall, and copies of his book will be available for purchase.<br />
<br />
The program will be free and open to the public.<br />
<br />
From his arrival in the 1880s to his death in the 1960s, Thrall reveled in and defended the beauty of the San Gabriel Mountains, documenting the Great Hiking Age, working on the Mount Lowe Railway, organizing hiking clubs and promoting conservation of natural resources.<br />
<br />
“He embraced the spirit which connected people with the San Gabriels, and his life is a study in Southern California itself,” said Woolsey, a history professor at Citrus College and El Camino College and author of the book “Will Thrall and the San Gabriels; A Man to Match the Mountains.”<br />
<br />
Thrall is one of five men featured in the Historical Society’s new exhibit, opening Saturday, Nov. 4, “Five Men Inspired by the San Gabriels.”Jane Brackmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11621059702967845849noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292508002394634000.post-31175899621323661722017-09-20T06:24:00.001-07:002017-11-06T14:33:02.136-08:00Altadena's Eldorado Inn Destroyed in 1969 Flood<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Dramatic rescues of lost and injured hikers in the San Gabriel Mountains by <b><a href="http://www.amrt.org/" target="_blank">Altadena’s renowned Mountain Rescue Team</a></b> will be featured in a 7:30 p.m. Monday, July 24 program sponsored by the Altadena Historical Society.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The program, presented by Los Angeles Sheriff’s Dep. Dan Paige and AHS member William Dawson, will be free and open to the public at the Altadena Community Center, 730 E. Altadena Drive.<br />
<br />
Founded in 1951, the rescue team is comprised of citizen volunteers and is based at the Altadena Sheriff’s station, one of eight such Sheriff’s Department rescue teams in the county.<br />
<br />
“Bill Dawson and Dep. Dan Paige have searched the archives and files of the Sheriff’s Department and the Historical Society to produce this fascinating, illustrated program,” said Historical Society President Kathy Hoskins.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKRw4IHJ4eA0tRvpUUFYtXzymI2qHDzHFWWkdfzK14JmARi_0mOHmHXTk1BWnIFp2bmjTmDrom2AQbN0onp6df2Q3HwuocMOHHCedcMynTjVPNYW3areFPq2VKwD8I_ja9n-5vtwXkU03L/s1600/rescue1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKRw4IHJ4eA0tRvpUUFYtXzymI2qHDzHFWWkdfzK14JmARi_0mOHmHXTk1BWnIFp2bmjTmDrom2AQbN0onp6df2Q3HwuocMOHHCedcMynTjVPNYW3areFPq2VKwD8I_ja9n-5vtwXkU03L/s320/rescue1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
“Bill gives an overview of the historical uses of the mountains above Altadena, first by natives, then explorers, then tourists and now residents and day-hikers,” Hoskins said, “and Deputy Paige describes and illustrates some of the dangerous and dramatic rescues of lost and injured hikers that the team performs almost every weekend.”<br />
<br />
The talk will be illustrated with both still photos and video, and rescue equipment will be on display as well as the team’s equipment truck.<br />
<br />
The Historical Society’s current exhibit, “Fifty Famous Altadenans,” in the Community Center lobby and the society’s adjoining archives, will be open prior to the program.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>One hundred and sixteen years ago, two men, a railway executive, and a banker forged a company that would become perhaps one of the biggest parts of Southern California’s history- a system that is still remembered today, 56 years after its closing.</i></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>The late eighteenth century saw a boom in the population of Southern California. In 1880, Los Angeles had a population of 11,183. In 1900 that number was 102,479. The stage was set. In 1901, Henry Huntington founded Pacific Electric. Its interurban and freight lines covered Southern California. What started out as four hundred and fifty two miles of railway, soon more than doubled. By 1920, PE rails stretched from Newport Beach to San Fernando. Thus, the red car was born.</i></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>“Largest electric railway system in the World,” the company boasted. It was true, with over 1,100 miles of track, PE was an ever growing success - that is, until the depression hit. 1929 marked a dismal year in US history. Pacific Electric, along with many other companies, struggled to survive in spite of the collapse of the banks. The Railway’s number of passengers went from over 107 million, to less than 67 million - a loss of nearly 38%. It was no longer economical to ride the Red Car. The company just barely made it out alive.</i></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>The beginning of World War II brought new hope to the struggling company. Thousands of workers came to Southern California to power up aircraft factories. Gasoline and tires were being rationed, and so these workers used Red Cars to get to and from work. In five years, the number of passengers went up 56%. The Red Car became a vital part of society again. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>Unfortunately, this didn’t last long. After World War II ended, Pacific Electric continued to shrink. The Red Car was becoming a thing of the past. It seemed that buses were going to be the way of the future. The company tried to make the switch from trolleys, but without much success.</i></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>Throughout the late 40s, and 50s, the number of railways that PE operated was dwindling. In 1961, The Pacific Electric Railway Company went out of business. Thus the Red </i></span></div>

<br />
The thrift store is in the historic red brick Pacific Electric Co. powerhouse at 2245 N. Lake Ave., Altadena. (<a href="https://goo.gl/maps/uM3D8DmLiwJ2" target="_blank">MAP</a>) Occupied by private businesses and not open to the public for several decades, the building with its soaring interior will be open for viewing and shopping.<br />

“Every item in the sale has been scrupulously examined to determine whether it meets our mission, which is to preserve and promote the history of Altadena,” said Jane Brackman, Ph.D., society president.<br />
<br />
The society’s archives and museum are located in the Altadena Community Center, 730 E. Altadena Drive, and are open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays, and by appointment.<br />

<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The store described in the blog as being on the southwest corner of Fair Oaks and Mendocino, was actually just south of Harriet. It was owned and operated by the McQuown family in the late 1930s through the ‘40s – perhaps later. Our home was just a few doors from the store and as a nine year old I liked to hang out with the man who operated the produce department. I’d help trim a crate of lettuce, pulling off any damaged leaves and rinsing the head in an outdoor sink behind the store. The McQuown’s also operated another modest grocery store on the east side of Altadena. I’m not certain but I believe it was on Altadena Drive near New York Drive or Washington St. Sometimes I’d go there with the produce man who let me ride on top of crates of vegetables in the back of his small stake truck. In the spring of 1942, when Roosevelt ordered all people of Japanese descent incarcerated, the Japanese produce manager signed everything, including his bank accounts and home, over to Mr. McQuown. When the war was over McQuown turned everything back to the returning Japanese family.</span></i><br />

A step or two east was a modern Safeway store with a conventional closed front. Nothing special. The more interesting store was the A&P with an open front – more typical of Southern California grocery stores of the period. Tall steel doors folded like an accordion into alcoves at the side of the building leaving the entire front of the store open. Gondolas about the size of a sofa were wheeled out on to the sidewalk at the front of the store. They were piled high with fresh produce. Bees and flies buzzed around but people seemed to deal with it.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There is a photo in the AHS files of the Market Basket on Mariposa at Lake. It was taken on a rainy January 9, 1949. As seen in the photo the accordion doors were kept closed because of the inclement weather. If you can't readily access the photo let me know and I'll email you a copy.</span></i></blockquote>

<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That Market Basket had a parking lot ... south of it (backing up to the Savings & Loan @ Lake & Calavaras) ... and some more parking behind (east of) it ... with some little hill involved. One day, our very embarrassed mother caught a very young - maybe 3 y/o son (my brother) Doug (& maybe even a younger Arvid) walking around the parking lot, slapping the cars (then solid metal) & mimicking Cal Worthington: "Who wants this '53 Plymouth with low mileage" etc. She flushed with embarrassment (& some pride?) and probably put both sons in the grocery cart for future shopping trips.<br /><br />As young bike riders (on 2 wheeled bicycles) ... my nextdoor neighbor, Robin (2 yrs older than I) and I would ride our bikes over to the Market Basket ... we would leave our bikes where the lower parking lot and the one behind the store join ... with a hilly area ... We would each buy a 2 pack of Hostess chocolate cupcakes (must have been less than 10 cents/pack?!) then go back to the bikes on their slight hill and scarf down our cupcake treats (the kind with the white squiggle on top and white frosting stuffed inside). If we had any money left ... it might go into the machine that distributed little plastic things in clear plastic balls ... often they would be great little objects for my doll house dolls!<br /><br />When I brought my baby son home to meet & visit my father and brothers in '79, I needed to pick up some stuff at the Market Basket. I packed my baby son into his stroller and headed 2 blocks east to the always faithful Market Basket. There turned out to be quite a few things that I needed and I piled that stroller very high. Having essentially not lived in Altadena for at least 10 years ... I didn't see anyoneI knew in the store ... until the mother of a dear friend spotted me ... "Mary Jane!" She met baby Jim and was appropriately complimentary & offered me a ride home. I politely declined ... but when she saw me dropping bags of stuff she insisted ... and I must say ... THAT RIDE WAS MUCHLY APPRECIATED! (even tho we couldn't obey child safety seat regulations!)</span></i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-size: 16px;">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Webster's Pharmacy on the east side of Lake Ave @ Mariposa was a great place, too. If our doctor, Pediatrician, Dr. Hardy, (first living on Deodora then around the corner on Mendocino) prescribed a medicine (like the sweet tourquoise cold medicine ... or was it for Hay Fever?...), Webster's would fill it and deliver it by a VW "Bug" (car). They had great cards and Ginny & Barbie dolls.<br />The Altadena Library on the east side of Lake, between Mendocino and Mariposa, was another great place to visit. I remember very nice floors ... maybe tile?</span></i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-size: 16px;">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The building on the north side of Mariposa between Lake and El Molino, still a hardware store? (was owned by our neighbors, the Paul Thomas family, for ages - Paul & Donny). Before becoming a hardware store, the building was a drug store (an early version of Websters?) and had a variety of things, including a freezer chest where you could find a ice cream bar ... then you had to talk your mother into getting it. There may have been a soda fountain area along west wall??? </span></i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-size: 16px;">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The corner shop at El Molino & Mariposa did upholstery work at one time and might have sold fabric? The Five and Dime nextdoor had everything imaginable. We had hair cuts at the shop east of the hardware store & alley.<br />It was a real treat to go to eat at Juniors coffee shop at the triangle: Lake, Altadena Drive & El Molino.</span></i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-size: 16px;">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our family went to St. Mark's Church on Altadena Drive and Maiden Lane. I believe the church property included the house east of the church, at the SW corner of Altadena Dr & Maiden Ln ... I believe the clergy may have lived there. But to me the most interesting place was the "Markam House" which was downhill from the church at the NE corner of Maiden Lane & Madre Vista Road. It was a huge old house and I think the Markam family donated it and the land to St. Marks. We had Brownie and Girl Scout meetings and programs at the house. It was fantastic exploring the rooms, floors and yard. We lived on Mendocino Street. Altadena Elementary school was just behind the houses across from our house ... but we had to walk down El Molino to get to school. One of my best friends, whose name shall remain nameless ... was unable to walk with me and two neighborhood boys to Kindergarten on the first day. The mother had to take the child. When I was young, maybe up until I was in Jr. High, there was a huge old abandoned house at the corner of our street. It had been abandoned for years ... It was a terrific place to explore. There was a huge yard and and great climbing tree with a small tree house (we played with Ginny dolls up there ... probably lost all their shoes & socks as they fell down into the plants below. There was a fish pond that was full of toads ... at one point someone emptied the pond and we caught tadpoles and tiny toads. Not many survived ... but for years, we would see descendants of the toads hopping around on our patio ... and one or two would survive in our neighbor's swimming pool (left from the estate ... it was drained each winter). </span></i></blockquote>

<b>NOTED AUTHORS AND ALTADENA PUBLISHER DEBATE WHETHER AUTHORS’ RACE, GENDER LIMITS WHAT THEY CAN WRITE ABOUT</b><br />
<br />
A spirited talk between an Altadena publisher and three of her acclaimed authors will be presented at 7 p.m. Thursday Feb. 2 at the Altadena Community Center (730 E. Altadena Drive, Altadena, California 91001) The event is open to the public free of charge.<br />
<br />
The panel discussion will be among <b><a href="http://www.naomihirahara.com/" target="_blank">Naomi Hirahara</a></b>, an Altadena native who is author of a mystery series set in that foothill community; <a href="http://rachelmharper.com/" target="_blank"><b>Rachel M. Harper</b></a>, author of 2016’s notable novel, “This Side of Providence;” <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0321255/" target="_blank"><b>Joyce Gittlin</b></a>, television writer and director and author of numerous movie scripts for Disney, Paramount and 20th Century; and <a href="http://www.prospectparkbooks.com/" target="_blank"><b>Colleen Dunn Bates</b></a>, founder and publisher of Altadena-based Prospect Park Books.<br />
<br />
Their talk will focus on issues raised in the play “Bee-luther-hatchee” by Thomas Gibbons, being presented at the <a href="http://sierramadreplayhouse.org/" target="_blank"><b>Sierra Madre Playhouse</b></a> through Feb. 18. The discussion is sponsored and produced by the playhouse, and is hosted by the Altadena Historical Society.<br />
<br />
The play follows a publisher, Shelita Burns, who seeks to meet a reclusive author whose “biography” of a 72-year-old black woman has won a major award. To her profound shock, the author is not whom Shelita expected. The play is a provocative look at cultural appropriation and who has the right to tell someone else’s story.<br />
<br />
Hirahara, Harper, Gittlin and Bates will discuss whether an author of one sex, or race, may write as another. Hirahara, as a Japanese-American, writes primarily about Japanese-American characters and Harper, an African-American, wrote about a Puerto Rican family in “…Providence.”<br />
<br />
The production and public discussion programs are being made possible by a grant to the Playhouse from the Sheri and Les Biller Family Foundation.Jane Brackmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11621059702967845849noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292508002394634000.post-4097425494251180842017-01-23T08:27:00.001-08:002017-09-20T06:28:03.120-07:00Altadena' Most Memorable Floods<div style="text-align: left;">

<b>CELEBRATED ALTADENA ARCHITECTS AND THE HOMES THEY DESIGNED FOR THEIR FAMILIES</b><br />
<br />
Building Biographer Tim Gregory presents free Altadena Historical Society program Monday Jan. 23 on famed architects’ Altadena homes<br />
<br />
Today, homes designed by Altadena architects Wallace Neff, Kenneth A. Gordon, Harold Bissner, and Theodore Pletsch are much sought after. But where did the architects themselves live? <br />
<br />
Building Biographer Tim Gregory will present capsule biographies of these, and other, famous Altadena architects and of the Altadena homes they designed for their families in a free, public program presented by the Altadena Historical Society at 7:30 p.m. Monday Jan. 23.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The program will be in the Altadena Community Center, 730 E. Altadena Drive, 91001<b>—</b>next to the Sheriff’s Station and across Altadena Drive from RiteAid. (<a href="https://goo.gl/maps/cVm5F4Rw3Cs" target="_blank">Map</a>)<br />
<br />
Gregory’s firm, <a href="http://www.buildingbiographer.com/" target="_blank">The Building Biographer</a>, has done more than 2,600 property histories for homeowners and real estate firms. He has master’s degrees in library science and public history/preservation, and is a nationally certified archivist and a registered public historian.<br />
<br />
He was the founding chairman of Altadena Heritage, for which he was named the 1991 Altadena Citizen of the Year by the Altadena Chamber of Commerce.<br />
<br />
Neff, 1895-1982, is perhaps best known for the many Spanish Colonial and classic-revival homes he designed for Hollywood celebrities and for imposing mansions in San Marino, but in the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s he segued into modernism.<br />
<br />
Neff designed several buildings in Altadena, including St. Elizabeth Catholic Church on Lake Avenue, and an imposing house on Mendocino that he built for his new bride.<br />
<br />
Gordon, 1891-1966, designed many homes and commercial buildings in Altadena and Pasadena, including several homes for his family on Altadena Drive near Eaton Canyon. He was joined in his architecture practice by a son, Robert.<br />
<br />
Bissner’s mid-century work includes famous modernist-futurist homes on Palm Springs mountain tops, including one subsequently owned by the late television personality Huell Howser.<br />
<br />
Pletsch, 1901-1988, designed hundreds of homes in various styles in Pasadena and San Marino, as well as homes and commercial buildings throughout the San Gabriel Valley.<br />
<br />
Gregory will conclude the program by answering questions from the audience.

Competition from the new Aldi's store on the corner of Lake and Calaveras is the likely reason that Ralphs will be closing at the end of this month. And although many of us will miss the local market with its neighborhood ambiance, history shows that Altadena's grocery stores come and go as time marches on.<br />

Reminiscing about her childhood in Altadena, Kathy Larson Hoskins said, "When our family moved to 963 Calaveras in 1950, the property that is now Ralph's was vacant. It was a grassy expanse with several <span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">trees clustered in the middle - a lovely place for kids to explore. As I remember there were a few cottages there. I think one of them </span><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">was moved up the street and eventually became Fox's restaurant." </span><br />

Normand began her film career making a name for herself in slapstick comedy. She helped <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mack_Sennett">Mack Sennett</a> launch Keystone Studios where they produced Keystone Cop comedies. Normand also wrote and directed many of Charlie Chaplin's earliest shorts, often acting in them as well. In 1916, she opened her own production company and studio.<br />

Troubled by drug use, depression, and deteriorating health from pulmonary tuberculosis, the actress was a frequent victim of scandalous rumor. In 1922 the violent murder of her close friend and likely lover director <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Desmond_Taylor">William Desmond Taylor</a> brought on a despondency from which she never recovered. To this day Taylor's murder remains an official cold case.<br />
<br />
Seeking recuperation and rest, Normand moved to Altadena in 1922. Noted for its healthful climate, Altadena had a fair share of sanitariums including private homes converted to long-term care for people with chronic disease.<br />
<br />
The silent movie actress eventually fell into obscurity and today her name and contributions are rarely mentioned in film history biographies. Normand died in Monrovia, California from pulmonary tuberculosis in 1930.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Fifty famous and fascinating
Altadenans--movie stars, artists, authors, scientists, athletes and more--are highlighted
in a new exhibit at the Altadena Historical Society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">“We’ve had great fun
researching and producing this exhibit,” said Jane Brackman, Society
president.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“The trouble has been
choosing those to include, as we have far more than our gallery can
accommodate.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The show--which opens Monday
Oct. 3--is in both the Historical Society’s gallery and in the lobby of the
Altadena Community Center, 730 E. Altadena Drive, just west of the Sheriff’s
Station.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">It is open from 9 a.m. to 1
p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays, and by appointment for groups and
others, (626) 797-8016.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is free of
charge, but donations toward the Society’s work are welcomed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">“Many of the people featured
are our current neighbors and gave their kind permission for us to include
them, while others have passed on,” Brackman said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“In fact, we didn’t include several Altadena
residents who are major stars in their fields, but cherish the privacy they
have by living here.“<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Although this little pie-shaped building on North Lake Avenue has served as a real estate office and seen its share of struggling restaurants, in the 1960s it was the successful "J.R. Coffee Shop". The diner was one of three restaurants that made up a small chain called "The Headliner" on Pasadena's Colorado Street between the old Star-News building (hence the name) and the Presbyterian Church. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A second restaurant was located on the southeast corner of Altadena Drive and Washington where McDonald's is currently located. And the smallest in the chain was in Altadena - thus the Junior moniker. (Some locals refer to the diner by its initials, J.R.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A long time Altadena resident said "It was a hamburger, fries and milk-shake kind of place, much like Bob's Big Boy. I ate there often with my family. It was so nice to have a local diner."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
