Damon of ^1 I I Throop College of Technology, made before the Woman's ^^J I Civic League during the season of 1914-15, our sincere desire .^J is to secure the co-operation of everyone in making a per- manent contribution to the future of Pasadena. While every- one readily admits that Pasadena has made a wonderful growth, those of us who live here realize that it still falls short of being an ideal city in every respect. Perhaps some of the suggestions in this pamphlet may afford a practical working basis for rendering more lovely a com- munity which Nature has so generously environed. We join with Dean Damon in the request that these plans, as out- lined only in a preliminary way, be "not approved, but improved." But above all things we bespeak careful consideration and not hasty judg- ment. Here is an opportunity to show our appreciation of what the past has done for us by suggesting a number of practical ways for making Pasadena a more beautiful and more useful city. Suggestions will be most effective if made in writing, and should be addressed to Mrs. F. B. Wetherby, 355 South Madison Avenue, Pasadena. Unless otherwise requested, these communications may be made public through the local press. In any event, without attempting to approve or disapprove the ideas received, we shall be pleased to trans- mit them to the City Plan Committee of the Pasadena Beautiful Asso- ciation as contributions made through the Woman's Civic League.

Bruce Wetherby The Woman^s Civic League of Pasadena Civic Ideals Discussed Around the Luncheon Table October Sth, 1914 Hammers and Roses" Theme of Address by Dean of Tbroop EXTRACTS FROM PRESS REPORTS Suggesting that the union depot for Pasadena, in connection with the civic improvement plan, be located where the present Southern Pacific depot now stands, George A. Damon, Dean of Engineering, Throop College of Technology, presented to the women of the Civic League one of the most important questions that will come up before the civic bodies this winter. At the meeting of the Woman's Civic League held at the Casa Grande hotel, several hundred women attended the initial luncheon of the third year of the League. Mrs. Robert J. Burdelte, the president, gave the address of welcome and also introduced the two speakers of the afternoon. Dean Damon, and Con- gressman Charles W. Bell. In his presentation of plans for Pasadena's beauty spots and improvements. Dean Damon took as his subject "Hammers and Roses " and said, in part: "I believe in the hammer, for it can be used to build up as well as to knock down. There are many things in this city which should be "knocked " down: the unsightly poles, the billboards, the real estate signs, and many unused barns which depreciate the surrounding neighborhoods. "1 wish you would bring your hammers over our way and knock down that Tournament Park fence and then help us get something better in its place.* The price of one float in our annual rose parade would pay for a rose trellis which would be a joy forever — and this is the best example of a combination oi 'ham- mers and roses' that I know of. "Then that old wooden Tournament grandstand must be knocked down, but to build a permanent, adequate, and beautiful structure in its place will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. There are a number of sites in this vicinity nill suitable for a side-hill stadium. Before we use our hammers on the present stand Stadium It would seem wise to look about us and see if we cannot find a natural setting for our most beautiful annual Tournament of Roses entertainment. "The most effective way I know to use a hammer at the present lime is to build flower boxes for 1915. A well-filled flower box will produce the greatest *Since the dale of this address the commissioners have replaced this fence with an ornamental concrete structure which is being covered with vines and roses. A Side effect for the minimum expenditure. Individually and collectively, let us encourage the flower boxes — on our houses, on our stores, and on our public buildings. "Mrs. Damon and myself are usmg our little hammers in the buildmg of a home. Several years ago I drew up a little sketch and suggested that a house after that plan would be a joy. Mrs. Damon looked at the drawing — and well, confidentially, the house we are now building doesn't resemble ver>' much the original idea — with perhaps the exception that the living room is in the front and the kitchen in the rear — which, as I remember it, was my own suggestion. But we love our little home, because we both had a hand in its making, and we reached our conclusions, not through strife and argument, but by means of co- operative study and harmonious effort. "Now, while we love our homes, did it ever strike you how much more important it is to have our city a thing of order and beauty? When we entertain our visitors we invite them to our homes, of course, but we see to it that a large part of their time with us is devoted to 'seeing the city.' We have made our homes the most beautiful in the world, and now I know we all feel like devoting more time to our civic improvement — otherwise we would not be here in such numbers. The City "The problem of the city is upon us, and our first duty is to become 'city Problem wise.' You have all noticed the progress we have been making in the past few months: the completion of the beautiful Colorado Street bridge, and the building of another Arroyo bridge at Huntington Terrace; the erection of several real sky- scrapers in our business center; the rapid spread of ornamental hghts and the removal of all poles and wires in a large part of the Oak Knoll district; the plunge and park which has been named Brookside, after Mrs. Brooks, the donor of the plunge; the annexation of Linda Vista; the starting of our new postoffice; the opening of Neighborhood House on California street; are all stepping stones on our way to bigger things. Isn't it high time that we have some idea of where we are going? "Isn't it true that the furniture for our larger city house is being delivered and we don't know where to put it? Our Congressmen sent us a new postoffice — all the way from Washington, D. C. We thank them for it, but are we sure that we have put it in the right place? You know things like that are 'built-in furniture' and cannot be moved. Transpor- tation First "The problem of a city plan naturally divides itself into parts. It seems to me that such divisions of the work as the building of roads and the carrying of water belong to the men. We have a transportation problem that must be solved. Why not ask the men of the city to eliminate the grade crossings, to pro- vide a fitting portal to the city in the way of a union depoit, and to secure the best of rapid transit between the important centers of the southland? "Now, if we could get our union station located on Colorado Street, about where the present Sounthern Pacific station stands (and it can be located there), then what about the rest of our 'city plan?' It strikes me that here is about where the good taste and common sense of our women come in, for we need their good judgment in the planning of this part of our city home. Some Preliminary Suggestions for a ''Pasadena Plan" Nute thf ili;igon;il l»niiie\ aids t<i the Inur icjTiiers of the cit.\', crnssing tile other ii:ltui"al axes of the eity. all at piaetieally the same point, thus locathig the "heart" of the city. The City's "Let us see what we can scheme out together. On the north we have Backbone Monk's hill, which shouW be to Pasadena what Rubidoux is to Riverside. Draw a line directly south and it will strike Raymond hill. On the west we have Colo- rado Street hill, the Elk's Club and the new Colorado Street bridge, leading to Annandale and Eagle Rock. A straight line directly east reaches the new high school and runs on into Lamanda Park, with its new school and social center. Now let us examine the possibilities of diagonal highways. Lincoln avenue is already a type of this kind of desirable thoroughfare. It furnishes direct access to our city from beautiful La Canada valley, and if extended in a straight line would provide a direct connection for Oak Knoll, San Marino, Tournament Park and Throop College. The other possible diagonal could start at the Busch gardens and run through to the Country Club, Mount Wilson toll road, and the Foothill boulevard, bringing that part of the district at least one mile nearer the Pasadena center. "Now, all these main axes cross at one point, and here is the natural loca- tion for our union station portal and our civic center. CJDJC "Wouldn't it be a grand idea for our bigger and better city if our visitors Center could step out of a fitting gateway upon a view of an orderly municipal square, backed up with an open plaza for our automobiles, while in the near distance could be seen an auditorium, a library, and the homes of numerous social organiza- tions, all placed in a setting of lawns, flowers and trees? Yet this preliminary plan is only a suggestion of possibilities. We have here every natural advantage to make the most efficient and beautiful city in the world, but as the city stands today It breaks every rule of the modern art of city planning. "Four "Not only should we have a well-ordered and beautiful community center. Corners" ''"' throughout the city should be frequent neighborhood centers. The recent competition which was held by Throop College was intended to develop some inspiration for the harmonious design of buildings and open spaces at the numerous 'Four Corners.' "The 'Four Corners' competition was participated in by a number of archi- tects, landscape architects, and artists of ability, both in Southern California and elsewhere. The prizes were offered with the idea of securing, in graphic, under- standable form, inspirations for something better than the usual haphazard growth in neighborhood center developments. It was hoped that in this way interest might be awakened m the question of the intelligent, effective, and artistic arrange- ment of these, the smallest units in the great city plan. "The competitors were asked to assume that the value per acre of the land on each corner of the neighborhood centers was $12,500, and to consider the limit of expenditure allowed for improvements at from $35,000 to $55,000 per corner. Otherwise they were given full latitude to their inventiveness and origin- ality of taste. "The committee of award, comprising Architects John C. Austin and Elmer Grey of Pasadena, and Albert R. Walker of Los Angeles, gave the first prize of $200 to Paul R. Williams, 1530 E. Twenty-first street, L^s Angeles. The second prize of $100.00 went to the Cook-Rankin- Wycoff Company. land- scape architects, 9 1 5 Marsh-Strong building. Porter W. Dorr and Alex. J. The Heart of Pasadena Some of the features of this tentative de- sign for anchoring and stablizing Pasadena's "community center" are as follows: A Union Transportation Terminal. Tliis depot will serve ;ill of tlic present and the future transcontinental railroads, ;is well ;is the rajiid transit line tit T^os An^^elfs. All Railroad Crossings Eliminated. The Snnta Ke tracks are to be i'eplace<l by a promenade coTinecting' the parks. A Civic Center directly opposite the ti-ans- portatinn portal. A Plaza for the parking of autoniobiles and for the looping of auto busses. A New Library and an Auditorium and Opera House set in park surroundings. A Social Center with suitaldc buildings. Broadway extended to Summit avenue. Holly ;niii Union streets combined and ex- tended til HiMkinier. New boulevard opened direcll\ siiiith of postoffice. Two Boulevards to parallel (\)lorado street. Colorado Street widened west of Broadway. Scholtes of Boston were given the third prize of $50.00. The judges in an- nouncing their award stated that the margin of choice between the first two sketches was slight. Prize "The design winning the first prize shows one corner devoted to a trading Designs center, but with stores set back from the street and entrances grouped in an open arcade, making it possible to secure display space without using the sidewalks, or unnecessarily calling attention to the commercial character of the buildmg. De- livery wagons are relegated to the rear through two driveways, and provision is made for an automobile garage and market stalls in the back of the lot. "Cn the corner directly opposite, an apartment is shown of the same general type of architecture. The pleasing feature of this part of the design is the 'ho.Tie- like' appearance of the building, with its front lawn and ample space for play- grounds and flower garden in the rear. The 'neighborhood church' and 'com- munity house' upon a third corner suggests possibilities of co-operation m religion and recreation, vv'hich might well be considered in every neighborhood, particularly in the outlying districts. "Upon the fourth corner, the design shows a combination of a small park and an automobile fire engine house. Such an arrangem.ent, it is explained, would allow the firemen to spend their surplus time pleasantly and profitably in main- taining the flowers and lawn in the park. "The second prize design shows the 'Four Corners' provided with a neigh- borhood park; a community building for lodges, library and moving pictures; an apartment house; smd a group of stores about a municipal market. The features of this design are plenty of 'open-air' space around all of the buildings, the con- venience of the apartment arrangements, and the possibility of building stores on the 'unit' principal, so that the trading center can be dexeloped as the surrounding district builds up. "The third prize design came all the way from Boston and shows a treat- ment in the mission type of architecture. The parking space is not confined to one corner, but is distributed over the entire four corners, furnishing a pleasing setting to all of the buildings. The stores are brought nearer to the street than the apart- ments and the public buildings, but the arrangement is balanced nicely by placing the club house toward the front of its lot with tennis and roque courts in the rear. "Already this idea is bearing results, for there are at least three places where the advantages of a logical arrangement of a trading center, an apartment, a club house, a neighborhood church, and a small park are being studied seriously. The "I thoroughly believe in the power of the neighborhood. We are gomg Neiahbor- 'o solve many of our civic problems by going back to the people through the L J neighborhood social centers. Pasadena's only Neighborhood House, built by the people of the Neighborhood Chuch, was dedicated during the past year and already has a fine record. We will all do well to study its methods that our part of the community may profit, for neighborhood loyalty is a tool which can be made invaluable in working out our future civic problems. "In our own part of the city we are planning to have an old-fashioned 'town meeting,' where everybody is to have an opportunity of contributing to a discussion of the topic 'What is the matter with our end of town?' Billboards, vacant lots, the fence around Tournament Park, street trees and spraying, orna- Four Corners Competition FIRST PRIZE V jJir"'- mental lights and old poles, street paving and the opening of new streets, building restrictions, and many other topics of city welfare and improvement will be covered and some arrangements made to insure continued interest in our own particular neighborhood. "What we are planning to do in our neighborhood could be done all over the city, and then if some central organization could conduct a survey of 'wants' we would in time be in a position to develop a continuous and constructive policy."^ To show the scope of such a survey the following list is given as some of Pasadena's 'wants:' Pasadena One City — One Plan "Wants" Monk's Hill Park New Library Abundant Supply of Water Union Terminal Rapid Transit Arroyo Seco Park Playgrounds Civic and Social Centers More Trees and Fewer Poles One Light and Power System Building Restrictions One Industrial District Removal of Grade Crossings Workingmen's Homes Suppression of Billboards Free Golf Links Excess Condemnation Equestrian Paths Mountain Roads Comprehensive Sewer System High-line Boulevard Storm Drains Ornamental Lights Open-air Stadium A Greater Pasadena Possi- "I hesitate to make suggestions as to how we might proceed to get a real hilities 'Pasadena Plan,' so that all our forward efforts may be most effectively co- ordinated and directed. If the plans discussed today have in them any appeal at all, then they should be taken seriously enough to either 'approve' or 'improve' them, and in their preliminary and tentative shape they certainly are not ready for final approval. Let us all get together and make some real plans, and in this con- nection may we remember the words of Daniel H. Burnham, the architect of cities, who once faid: " 'Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and prob- ably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans ; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble logical diagram, once recorded, will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that will stagger us. Let your watchword be order, and your beacon beauty.' " *The Pasadena City Beautiful Association now has a City Planning Com- mittee which has undertaken this work. The members of this committee are W. S. Kienholz, W. H. Vedder, George A. Damon, T. P. Lukens, C. D. Daggett, Ormsby Phillips and Mrs. F. B. Welherby. Address, 34 South Raymond Ave. Four Corners Competition SECOND PRIZE Meeting of Woman's Civic League Hotel Maryland, March 1, 19 i 5 At the meeting of the Woman's Civic League at the Maryland Grill on Monday, noon, March 1, 1915, it was announced that the Jury of Award of the Chicago City Club had awarded a prize to Dean George A. Damon, of Fhroop College of Technology, for plans submitted in their Neighborhood Center Competition. Dean Damon explained that after the openmg meeting of the Woman's Civic League on October 5, 1914, which had been devoted to the future of Pasadena, a number of suggestions had been made, particularly as to what buildings should be included in an educational and social center near the heart of the city. About that time a competition was announced by the City Club of Chicago offering substantial cash prizes for plans for a "Neighborhood Center." Plans were admissible from any city other than Chicago and for main centers of cities not large enough to justify important neighborhood centers. As a matter of academic interest. Dean Damon had suggested to one of the young men in his Los Angeles office — Mr. Walter L. Newton, a graduate of Throop College of Technology, that it wouldn't be a bad idea to submit a possible solution of part of the Pasadena problem in the Chicago competition. The object of this competition, as announced by the Chxago City Club, was "to bring before the public, in graphic form, the practical possibilities of enhancing neigh- borhood life in our cities by better, and especially, better grouped buildings and grounds for community activities." Pasadena ^ 'he preliminary competition called for a general plan only, the ar- a Prize rangement shown by the illustration was sent in under the nom-de-plume of "Pasa- riT- dena." A large number of plans were received, from which the jury of award selected a limited number of competitors who were allowed to submit birdseye and perspective views of their proposed arrangements. The plans marked "Pasa- dena " were selected for a place in this final competition, which was decided February 23rd. Word has been received that the jury has divided the prize money into eight equal parts and has awarded one of these prizes to the "Prelim- inary Suggestions for a Social and Educational Center for Pasadena," sent in by Dean Damon. Plan Only '" speaking of this plan. Dean Damon said: Suaaestitie "'' '* ''™°*' important that we all understand that the proposed plan is entirely preliminary. Personally, I hope that the plans as now shown will never be carried out, for we certainly can and should do much better. But no improvement of this kind can ever be evolved without a vast amount of preliminary study, and so this sketch is intended only as an effort to discover our possibilities. Let us get together in a friendly, free, and open discussion, and crystallize our ideas of what we actually want into a definite consensus of opinion which, in time, will become irresistible. "The whole conception of the plan is based upon the fundamental idea of removing the Santa Fe tracks from the center of the city. At the present time these railroad tracks are a distinct blight upon a large section of the down town district which is contiguous to a very desirable part of our business center. "This question of the elimination of the railroad was definitely discussed recently with President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe Railroad, by a committee consisting of Mr. T. P. Lukens, president of the Board of Trade; Mr. William S. Kienholtz, president of Pasadena City Beautiful ; and myself. We are pleased to report that Mr. Ripley pledged himself, in a public interview, to use his best efforts to co-operate with any plan which would be favored by Pasadena to rear- range the tracks so as to remove the menace of the grade crossings and do away with the depreciating effect of the smoke, noise, and dust of the railroad in our midst. "Granted, then, that we are to be relieved from the railroad tracks, how should we plan to rehabilitate the district affected so as to get the benefit of every possible advantage? The plan and the birdseye view show a few ideas which have been gathered from a number of sources. "Nearly everything included in the proposed group has an actually existing nucleus, so that the plan may be said to be the outgrowth of natural demands and therefore is not an idle dream of theoretical conditions. KemoCalof Santa Fe Tracks Present Centers Enlarged "The new library located on a knoll of the present Library Park would fill a pressing need. The building shown could be built a section at a time on the unit principle. The present library might be fireproofed and rebuilt into a historical museum. "One of our prominent citizens has suggested that a permanent horticultural exhibit building be located on the corner of Holly street and Raymond avenue for the purpose of a continuous display of the best productions of our lath houses and gardens. A NeU> Library "In the plan, Broadway has been widened and extended to Summit avenue by cutting through the east end of the present park, thus turning the lumber yard into a splendid site for a public auditorium, with an open space convenient for the parking of automobiles both day and evening. Directly behind the auditorium and arranged so as to use the same stage is an uncovered stadium for band concerts, rallies, celebrations, etc., out in the open air. What a grand equipment this would give Pasadena for conventions, mass meetings, concerts, operas, and pageants. Public A udi- torium "The Wilson school, which is a wooden structure, must, of course, be re- moved within a comparatively short time. Advantage has been taken of this condition to arrange an educational group consisting of a kindergarten, grammar, intermediate, and vocational schools, surrounded by gardens and playgrounds, and convenient to a central administration building. The present site of the Wilson school would be the finest kind of a location for a Young Women's Christian Association building, a music conservatory and other similar institutions. The admirable plant of the Young Men's Christian Association is provided with ad- ditional space for future growth.

The Pacific Electric barns have been removed and the Catholic school extended over this area. A site is provided for a labor temple replacing the present building used for that purpose. "Lincoln avenue, which is the only existing diagonal in the city, is extended through the Throop Academy grounds, wrecking machinery hall and terminat- ing at the present library corner, thus leaving a liberal setting for an arts and crafts building built around East Hall, which is now vacant. The Stickney Memorial building is retained as an art center." j4 Dean Damon reported that a city planning committee was being formed "Pasadena ^^ ^^^ Pasadena City Beautiful Association to act as a clearing house for ideas for pi .. a possible "Pasadena Plan." He suggested that the members of the Women's Civic League wnte letters containing their suggestions to Mrs. F. B. Wetherby, of their city plan committee, and that then these letters be transmitted to the centra' committee and possibly also be published in the local papers. 'd^ Germs of Thought on City Growth EDITORIAL. PASADENA STAR, OCTOBER 6TH. 1914. First the mature thought, the fixed general plan, the definite purpose, then the action — a very wholesome rule in the conduct of individuals as well a; in the building and proper development of cities. To the Woman's Civic League of Pasadena this community is indebted for the broadcasting throughout Pasa- dena of some very wholesome, and not at all deadly thought-germs. This city wants to keep on growing — is determined to do so. It wants to grow and develop aright and should do so. What the city should do it can do, in this direction. Dean Damon has given some broad tentative hints. You may not agree with the plan he suggests. This may not be the time to fix defi- nitely just how the accessories of city-development — union transportation- al terminal, elimination of railroad crossings, civic center, new li- brary, social center, and so on — shall b? evolved. This is the lime to do the basic thinking, not to co the definite deciding. The decision wll come, logically and in order, after the thinking. Dean Damon will have performed a notable public service if his thoughtful, keen-minded suggestions and observations should set this people to thinking — thinking hard and concertedly and concentratedly upon this great problem that should be met with thorough intelligence and broad- ness of conception of all that is involved. The Star commends the general subject which has been brought so graphically before the people as worthy the most serious thought of all Pasa- denans. Let's begin thinking it out, laying the foundation for practical action in due time — action along such lines as the collective wnll and sentiment of this people may dictate. to c o a US- ^i»- (- a X O £/} O o < OS < UJ >■ ro I CO " 5 (/) o 0.

We are not organized for the purpose of doing any special work. Our great object is instruction in citizenship.

Any woman holding the right attitude of mind, the "right attitude of mind" being a desire to be informed, is at liberty to make application for membership. Meetings will be held regularly on the first Monday of each month from 12 o'clock until 2:00 p. m., around the luncheon table, at which there will be a half-hour address, and occasionally at some other hour to listen to some especially desired speaker, all subjects intended to give information on interests affecting the community and individual life.
