Bernhard and Irene Hoffmann: Community Visionaries a Century Ago

Early in the 20th century, diabetes was a devastating disease with little treatment available. When the young daughter of Bernhard and Irene Hoffmann, a wealthy couple in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, was diagnosed with diabetes in 1919, they were prepared to do anything to save her life. They consulted with Dr. Nathaniel Bowditch Potter at Columbia University and followed him to Santa Barbara, where he was to begin his new role as researcher for the new Potter Metabolic Clinic funded by the Carnegie Foundation.

After Dr. Potter’s untimely death, his work on insulin was continued by Dr. William Sansum, and Margaret Hoffmann was accepted as a patient. As her health improved, the couple enthusiastically settled into their new community. Coincidentally, Bernhard’s brother, Ralph, was named the headmaster of Cate School, and later became director of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.

Already steeped in the tradition of community beautification and historic preservation that characterized their New England hometown, the couple was enthralled by the equally significant, yet very dissimilar Spanish-influenced heritage and architecture in Santa Barbara. They soon commissioned architect James Osborne Craig to design their expansive new home on Garden Street in the Spanish style. They named it Casa Santa Cruz.

And in a move that made headlines, as big news around town, the Hoffmanns purchased Casa de la Guerra, the historic adobe situated the heart of downtown that had fallen into a state of disrepair. They had read Richard Henry Dana’s account of the extravagant fandango held at the mansion in Two Years Before the Mast and were

committed to restoring the building to its former glory. They purchased the casa for $50,000 and committed another $100,000 to its repair and reconstruction, and they worked with members of the De la Guerra family to guarantee they could live out their years in their family home.

On September 22, 1921, the Morning Press reported, “Of chief interest is the fact that under the plan adopted this beautiful landmark now almost 100 years old and second only to the Old Mission among Santa Barbara structures in the richness of its history is to be not only fully restored but conditions created that will assure its perpetuation. It has been a source of keen regret to every lover of Santa Barbara and its traditions to see the old adobe homes slowly crumble and disappear.”

By December, the couple unveiled more of their imaginative plans that provided a new approach to downtown building. They had hired architect Craig to create a complex adjacent to the casa, featuring open plaza areas and adobe-look structures. Known as El Paseo, the Street in Spain, the ambitious project, with a restaurant, small shops, offices, and studios, was described in the newspaper: “In quaintness and artistic grouping, this series of buildings can only be matched in the old cities along the Mediterranean.”

Word traveled, and the couple’s aesthetic approach to Santa Barbara living began to take hold in the popular imagination, here and abroad.

In 1922, well-traveled Los Angeles Times editorial writer John Steven McGroarty gave a speech in Santa Barbara when he noted, “Your idea of a Street in Spain is magnificent, and I hope it will be fully carried out.” He added, “You know Santa Barbara has a stronger hold upon the imagination of persons in other parts of the country, and even in Europe, than any other city in California. When I was in Spain last summer, people there asked me more about Santa Barbara than about any other city in America. The idea of restoration of the Spanish atmosphere is an excellent one, not only from the standpoint of sentiment and for historic reasons, but as a sound business proposition. In my opinion, if the plans are carried through, it will make this city the greatest tourist city in the United States.”

In 1924, when the Spanish Duke of Alba and his friend the Marquis of Viana traveled to Santa Barbara, they visited the complex and gave it high praise. Both gifted tile murals to commemorate the occasion; written in Spanish, they remain there today, along with several others situated in the El Paseo that pay homage to the New Spain that the Hoffmanns ushered in, long before the 1925 earthquake cleared the way for a whole new look for Santa Barbara. Coming next month: Bernhard Hoffmann’s post-earthquake leadership.

A New Designation for Cities Shaped by Nature

Environmentalism is embedded in those of us who live, work, and play in Santa Barbara. The threats, battles, and struggles to protect and restore our natural treasures are never ending. A dream of some of us, however, is to have our city become a National Park City (NPC). What is this? It is a city that makes a fundamental commitment to sustainability, biodiversity, and equitable access to green spaces.

The global NPC movement, launched in 2019, started in Britain with London becoming the first certified NPC. London may seem like a strange poster child, but there are 3,000 parks within its limits, and half of its surface area is green space gardens, forests, ponds, wetlands, and rivers. It is home to 14,000 species of wildlife, many of which live in the 3.8 million gardens in the city.

In May of this year, the Dutch city of Breda became the first European Union city to earn the NPC designation. Its population is roughly equivalent to that of our South Coast region. It has been engaged for a decade in complementing its cobblestone streets and centuries-old canals with nature reserves, restored wetlands, urban gardens, and canal-side greenery. Thoughtful design

and planning have prioritized canopy trees and other vegetation, reduced concrete, and returned to natural water flows as part of its infrastructure. Interestingly, the citizenry as much as city leadership is transforming it into a greener, healthier, and wilder place. The locals believe that nature belongs in every neighborhood. Schools are planting and caring for rooftop gardens and tiny forests. They talk about Breda being in a park rather than being a city with parks in it. Sixty percent of its area is green space. They are seeking nature-based solutions to improve livability and manage climate risks such as flooding and extreme heat.

Chattanooga, Tennessee, is the first city in the U.S. to gain the NPC distinction. In 1969, it was ranked as the most polluted city in the country. Since then, it has worked to clean up the Tennessee River and establish 13 miles of park and riverwalk along its banks. In addition to its efforts to revitalize wildlife habitat and make it easier for people and wildlife to coexist, it has, as part of its equity program, given away hundreds of refurbished bicycles, 800 in

2024 alone. To address past injustices, it has returned 76 acres to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. There is a worldwide network of ideas, optimism, knowledge, and ways to make nature a core part of urban life. This movement involves dozens of cities, some already NPC certified, and others working with nature to mitigate climate impacts and improve the well-being of their inhabitants. Santa Barbara has a strong history of cherishing, protecting, and restor-

ing our natural landscape. Building on this framework and creating a consensus citywide to bring more nature into every neighborhood and make it accessible to all would make us even healthier, happier, more resilient, and perhaps enable us to achieve NPC certification.
