An Architectural Gem on Las Olas Avenue

THE GREAT HOUSE DETECTIVE

The front door at 1129 Las Olas Avenue

Y

ou know that a home has a lot going for it if someone chooses to live there for more than 40 years!

Diana Cuttrell is the happy owner of this awardwinning home at 1129 Las Olas Avenue. While it was still under construction, it earned a prize in the Better Homes in America competition in 1926

National Competition The Better Homes in America movement was founded in 1922 during the Roaring ’20s when the economy was going strong and many families began to transition from being renters to owning their own home. “The idea of the movement is to put knowledge of high standards in house building, home-furnishing and equipment, and home life within the reach of all citizens; to encourage the building of sound, attractive, economical single-family houses” (Santa Barbara Morning Press, April 7, 1926).

The dining room is seen through an arched entryway at 1129 Las Olas Avenue.

I could not find any definitive evidence of the architect who designed this Spanish Colonial Revival gem, but that’s not surprising. In architecture, most attention and money focuses on large projects such as commercial buildings and estates. However, some folks say that this home was designed by Joseph J. Plunkett. William Edwards and Plunkett were famous for their designs of the Arlington Theatre and the first Santa Barbara airport terminal. I looked around at buildings in Santa Barbara designed by Plunkett and noticed some similarities between this home and the building at 701 Anacapa Street that Plunkett designed.

The Mesa Evolves

The Los Arcos building at 701 Anacapa Street was designed by Joseph J. Plunkett.

A 1927 aerial map of the Mesa neighborhood

Today, the home at 1129 Las Olas Avenue is nestled among the charming streets between Cliff Drive and Shoreline Drive, but the neighborhood was quite different when this home was built in 1926. Aerial maps from the 1920s show that there was an 80-acre field just to the west that belonged to descendants of Captain Charles Porter Low, a retired clipper ship captain. This was a large open area in the 1920s, and a group of local pilots hoped to turn it into an airfield. An “air meet” was scheduled to take place on the field in July 1925, but the big earthquake in June that year caused the event to be canceled.

Then, after the earthquake, there was a plan to build a Biltmore Hotel on the coastline about where Shoreline Park is today. “Santa Barbara will have one of the most picturesque hotels along the Pacific coast…. The total cost of the project will reach $3,800,000…. The

main structure will be six stories…. A total of 332 rooms, 96 of which will be in cottages, will be provided…. Spanish and Italian renaissance style of architecture will be combined, making it conform to the prevailing type in Santa Barbara” (Santa Barbara Morning Press, October 25, 1925).

But that didn’t happen either. By the end of 1926, plans for the hotel’s location were changed to Channel Drive in Montecito, and the hotel finally opened there in December 1927.

I found a 1930s news item in the local paper about a pony housed at the 1129 La Olas Avenue property.

So perhaps it was still possible in those years to ride a pony around the Mesa, and maybe down to the beach.

Eventually, this area of the Mesa began to be built up after World War II. Please do not disturb the residents of this home.

Message From the President

BY JENNIFER BERGER, 2026 PRESIDENT, SANTA BARBARA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®

HOUSING ADVOCATES ARE MORE THAN ONE VOICE A housing advocate is anyone who works to improve housing outcomes. That includes renters seeking stability, but it also includes homeowners, housing providers, builders, lenders, planners, and those helping families purchase their first home. Housing is not a single-interest issue. It is a system.

JENNIFER BERGER

I

n today’s housing debate, the term “housing advocate” is often used as shorthand for tenant organizations. Tenant voices are important and deserve to be heard, but equating housing advocacy with a single viewpoint misunderstands how housing actually works.

Housing does not exist without housing providers who maintain properties, invest in repairs, and shoulder rising insurance, utility, and regulatory costs. It does not expand without builders navigating complex approval processes. Homeownership does not happen without advocates for fair lending, down-payment assistance, and first-time buyer access. And affordability cannot be addressed without increasing supply.

If Santa Barbara is serious about addressing its hous housing challenges, we must move beyond labels that divide.

Housing advocates are not defined by which side of the rental debate they stand on, but by their commitment to improving housing outcomes. Renters, homeown homeowners, housing providers, builders, and those working to expand supply are all part of the same system system—and system— and none succeed at the expense of the others.

The housing crisis is not an “us versus them” problem; it is a shared challenge that requires collaboration, bal balance, and policies that recognize how housing is actually created, maintained, and sustained. Housing works best when everyone at the table is recognized as part of the solution.

Jennifer Berger is a top producing, third generation California REALTOR® with Compass, bringing 28 years of experience in residential real estate serving Santa Barbara and its surrounding communities. She currently serves as President of the Board of Directors for the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors. She can be reached at 805-451-5484 or jennifer.berger@compass.com

There is no legal or statutory definition of “housing advocate.” In housing policy, the term has always been broader, describing people and organizations working to improve housing outcomes across the full continuum: renters seeking stability, homeowners pursuing the American Dream, housing providers maintaining existing homes, builders working to increase supply, lenders expanding access to credit, and community organizations balancing housing with environmental and infrastructure realities. Limiting the definition to one group may be convenient, but it is incomplete.

Treating these perspectives as outside the housing advocacy conversation is counterproductive. Affordability, stability, and access cannot be achieved by focusing on only one segment of the housing continuum. Poli Poli-cies that ignore how housing is financed, maintained, and supplied risk reducing availability and undermining long-term stability for renters and owners alike.

Effective housing advocacy recognizes that renters, owners, and providers are not opposing sides and in fact are participants in the same system. Stable housing out outcomes require balance, predictability, and collaboration.

“Our Family has used Baxter Commercial Insurance for three decades and been very pleased with the relationship.

Recently I had a need for home insurance and after spending three weeks talking and looking, my sister suggested trying Baxter. Never occurred to me.

I had coverage at a reasonable rate in two days. I now sleep at night.”
