Santa Barbara Happenings a Century Ago development, until the City of Santa Barbara was financially able to purchase the land some years later.

Creation of the Major Traffic Street Plan and Boulevard and Park System: The Plans and Planting Committee and the Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce teamed up to hire civic planner Charles Cheney and noted landscape architects the Olmsted Brothers. Together they worked to develop a document that was accepted by the planning commission and the park commissioners, but not by the City Council.

THE EBBERT & RICHARDSON CO., 1924

Pearl Chase traveled to Europe with her friend Alice Bentz Cooper: The two women traveled through several countries and even took a flight OUR SANTA BARBARA across the English Channel. Pearl was struck by the number of former soldiers she saw on the

As she wrote to her father, “The Navy League has created little wooden platforms about 4' X 5' at important corners where Opening of the Lobero Theatre: Commissioned by the Com- wounded soldiers or sailors sell papers.

Its first performance, in August 1924, she wants she puts her finger on at once.” And they got along was The Beggar on Horseback, with the opening night coin- well. “My but she’s a nice girl—I am fortunate indeed.” She ciding with Old Spanish Days.

The death of Margaret Baylor, social worker and founder of the Recreation Center: Margaret Baylor, the much-beloved social worker who started working in Santa Barbara in 1910, was just 44 years old at the time of her passing in 1924. Her funeral was a city-wide event, attended by mourners from all walks of life from the many lives she touched with her good work. As the Morning Press reported, “The love and kindness she dispensed during her long, active career is reflected a thousand-fold in the expressions of praise that are heard on all sides.”

Fiesta Flower Market Beginning of Old Spanish Days Fiesta: Under the light of the full moon, the colorful homage to Santa Barbara’s history was an instant success. Fiesta celebrates, romanticizes, and mythologizes its heritage in an unabashed attempt to lure summertime tourists. It was hardly the first time the city had attempted an event of its kind, but it was the most successful and long-lasting, as it continues to this day.

Completion of Santa Barbara High School and Peabody Stadium: The Class of 1924, although its members did not attend classes at the new campus situated on Anapamu Street, was allowed to graduate on the site.

Founding of the East Beach Association: Alarmed by the prospect of out-of-town real estate developers who intended to establish a commercial district along East Beach, a wellheeled group of Santa Barbara and Montecito residents moved into action. With Dwight Murphy serving as president and Pearl Chase serving as secretary, the group established a trust “to secure everything they could buy for City Park purposes—from the Bird Refuge to State Street.” The waterfront was held by the organization, and saved from

De la Guerra Plaza design from September 30, 1924

donated $100,000 to build the new football stadium, it was dedicated on Thanksgiving Day and named for him. The 1924 baseball team was described as “one of the fastest baseball clubs ever had in the SBHS.”

continued, “There is no lack of happy conversation between us. We generally laugh ourselves to sleep.” After their return, Alice wrote, “Didn’t we have a lovely time, Pearl? It’s like a dream. I feel as if I’d come from the clouds.”

Hope Ranch News: As reported in the Morning Press in April 1924: “A right-ofway through the Hope Ranch, connecting the Cliff Drive with Modoc Road, one of the most beautiful drives in Southern California, has been offered to the county by Harold S. Chase, president of Santa Barbara Estates, Incorporated, which expects to close its option on 825 acres of Hope Ranch within 60 days. In preparation for the opening of this road, Supervisor Sam Stanwood, a stockholder in the Estates Company, has completed a macadam pavement on Cliff Drive from the end of the paving on the Mesa to the Hope Ranch gates, which have been toll gates for 20 years.”

uch was happening in Santa Barbara a century ago in 1924, one year before a massive earthquake shook our city. Many people tend to believe it was only post-earthquake that Santa Barbara took its now-familiar shape, but there was a lot happening that affected the look and feel of the city before then. Here are some notable local events from 1924.

Message From the President

BY MICHELE ALLYN - 2024 PRESIDENT - SANTA BARBARA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®

BOLD GOALS FOR “MORE IN 2024” Dear Readers:

A

s we enter the New Year, I like to take the opportunity to update my goals and intentions for the coming year. I also come up with a theme each year based on the year itself, so my theme for 2024 is “More in 2024”. I am looking for “more good” in all areas of my life! I encourage everyone to do a deep dive into what you want to accomplish in the coming years. Ask yourself, “What do I want and by when do I want it?” One year? Three years? Five years? Even 10 Years!! Enjoy the process and be BOLD!!!

In my new position as President of the Santa Barbara Association of REALTORS® I am also looking for ways to better the lives of the members of the Association. We are facing tremendous challenges around buyer and seller representation. The California Association of REALTORS® along with the legislators in Sacramento have gone to great lengths over the years to make sure buyers and sellers are very clear as to who represents whom and who pays for that representation. We believe the current system works very well and is fair for both buyers and sellers.

Our Association Board of Directors will continue to address these issues that impact the membership and the community we serve.

Wishing you all a very happy and prosperous New Year!

Warmly, Michele Allyn

n an exhibit currently running at the Channing Peake Gallery, the AIA Santa Barbara presents projects by local architects that are all-electric, embrace sustainability, and mitigate emissions to our environment. A reception will be held at the gallery tonight, January 18, from 5:15 to 6:30 p.m.

Our built environment accounts for between 30-40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, making it a prime target after transportation to reduce the burning of fossil fuels and switch to renewable energy.

Our Tri-County Energy Network, or 3C-REN, additionally presents nuts-andbolts information and resources to combat any concerns or misinformation regarding buildings and electrification. As we are all being offered various financial incentives and rebates to assist with transitioning from gas to all-electric, 3C-REN is a resource for understanding the options available.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), “green-

house gas emissions must peak by 2025 and reduce by 43 percent by 2030 to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.”

The year 2025 is a scant year away, and now is the perfect time to plan how to decarbonize your own personal infrastructure. This includes everything from heating and cooling to swapping out fossil-fuel-burning appliances to highly efficient electric.

The past five years have been a time of transition for our architectural community as we update our way of designing and tap into new and old technologies to reduce emissions. Starting in 2018, the California AIA declared a climate emergency urging its members to “electrify everything.”

In 2019, the Santa Barbara City Council voted to move forward with a 100 percent clean energy goal by 2035.

In 2020, Santa Barbara passed a reach code restricting gas from new construction, joining 53 other California counties in adopting this groundbreaking legislation.

Lastly, in 2022, the AIA made mandatory studies in climate change for continuing education for architectural licensure.
