Santa Barbara’s Grand Arlington Hotel

Other than a written record and historic photos, there’s not much left of the grand and gracious hotels that once beckoned travelers to visit Santa Barbara. We begin here a series of articles celebrating these luxurious lodging destinations, now lost to history.

The Arlington Hotel, situated on a square block on State Street between Victoria and Sola streets, was opened in 1876. It was known for its beautiful gardens and a six-story observation tower. The guest rooms in the three-story hotel were appointed with fine furnishings; the property included several rooms for guests to gather.

Although several presidents stayed at the Arlington, the visitor of perhaps the most consequence to the direction of Santa Barbara was named Nina Dempsey. In the mid-1880s, she traveled from her home in Boston to Santa Barbara, where her uncle, CC Wheeler, was the manager of the Arlington. During her months-long stay, she enjoyed side trips into the foothills, and on her return home, she kept her fond memories of the hotel and the small town.

In 1886, Nina married Hezekiah Chase, and in 1888, the couple became parents to their first child, Pearl Chase. As Pearl’s brother, Harold, reflected, “Mother evidently fell in love with Santa Barbara, as have so

many others before and since.” The Chase family relocated from the East Coast to Santa Barbara in 1900.

The original hotel was destroyed by fire in 1909, rebuilt in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, and reopened in 1911. The new hotel, constructed of brick and concrete, featured a rooftop water tower as a convenient way to douse a fire. Ironically, it was the collapse of the water tank during the 1925 earthquake that destroyed the hotel and caused the death of two of the hotel’s guests. It was not rebuilt, and today, the Arlington Theatre, the Public Market, a housing development, and an array of commercial businesses occupy the site.

SBCC Foundation Hosts Spring Forward Gala

On May 4, about 300 supporters of the Santa Barbara City College Foundation gathered on the Great Meadow at Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) to raise funds for the SBCC Promise and other forms of student support.

The Foundation, which channels private donations, distributes roughly $5 million each year, including $2.4 million for the SBCC Promise. Launched by the Foundation in 2016, the Promise covers all tuition, fees, books, and supplies for eligible, local students for two years.

After the reception, guests entered an enormous, clear tent on the picturesque campus for dinner. Board President Madeleine Jacobson welcomed guests and introduced the Foundation’s new CEO Bobbi Abram, who came from Pasadena City College, where she served as executive director for the past 12 years. Abram, on day four in her new post, remarked that she came from the second-largest community college foundation in the state and is thrilled to be at the largest one.

While the Foundation is the largest, the needs it serves are also enormous. As auction host Ernesto Paredes noted, community colleges receive the lowest per-student public funding, yet serve the most diverse and lowest-income students at a time with a historic rise in the basic cost of living. Alondra Hernandez, an SBCC Promise student, eloquently shared her gratitude to the Foundation for enabling her to pursue her studies.

In an interview, Abram related that the SBCC Promise is known across the state as one of the most innovative and successful programs supporting the needs of community college students and was the main draw for the position. Also appealing to her was working with SBCC Superintendent/President Erika Endrijonas, with whom she worked at Pasadena City College, and the knowledge that the college was under stable, sustainable leadership.

With SBCC having gone through four regular/interim superintendents/presidents in the four years before Endrijonas arrived in 2023, stability would be a welcome change.

The SBCC Promise greatly expands the aid available to low-income students, enabling attendance for many who otherwise could not attend. The State of California, through the Board of Governors Fee Waiver and then the CA Promise Grant, has long covered the tuition of very-low-income students. However, the SBCC Promise covers the cost of

books, fees, and supplies, which can be prohibitive for these students.

Equally significant, the SBCC Promise also covers students whose families earn too much to qualify for the state’s program, yet still struggle financially. Since 2016, these students have made up about one-third of Promise students. The program is open to students who have just completed high school in the district (from Gaviota to Carpinteria), enroll full-time, meet with counselors, and remain in good academic standing. For the 2023-24 year, there are nearly 1,900 students in the program, a welcome bounce back from a COVID-induced low of about 1,100 students.

In addition to funding the Promise, the Foundation distributes each year about $1.5 million for student support programs and about $1.1 million for scholarships and book grants.

Student support programs include the Running Start program for high school students who are unprepared for college; SPARC, for single-parent students; Rising Scholars, for individuals released from the criminal justice system; and the Scheinfeld Center for Entrepreneurship, for budding student entrepreneurs.

According to the most recent financial statement (June 2023), the Foundation had $84 million, much of which is in restricted scholarships. Another chunk reflects the $20 million unrestricted gift made by MacKenzie Scott in 2021, a gift that shows both the value of SBCC and the needs of its students.

Abram indicated that Endrijonas and she have as a goal for this year completing a collaborative plan for Scott’s gift. These funds have not been used, according to Abram, because of the change in leadership at both the College and the Foundation. Since 2021, there have been four permanent or interim SBCC superintendents/presidents and two SBCC Foundation CEOs. Another factor was the influx during the pandemic of time-restricted government aid.

Abram stated that the Foundation also will be putting together a general strategic plan. This process will involve the board, which includes members of the college administration, and likely community input as well.

Last fall, SBCC served 13,427 credit students, 7,382 of whom were from its district and 38 percent of whom were full-time.
