The historic Twist-Basler House in Santa Ana is finally being moved. The top photo shows what the original Broadway site now looks like, with one part of the house gone, and a second part ready to be moved after midnight tonight. The lower photo shows the first section of the house in it's new home at the Cabrillo Park Tennis Center. If you happen to get photos of any part of the house actually being moved, please let me know – Both I and the Santa Ana Historic Preservation Society would like to post them on our websites..
Sunday's L.A. Times included an article about SoCal's Googie Architecture. The article was largely based on interviews with Daniel Paul, Alan Hess and myself. I'm not sure how I became "Anaheim-based," (as the article says,) but I can think of worse accusations. (Related note: The same issue of the Times also featured an article on Programmatic Architecture.)

To say that Chris Jepsen is Anaheim-based is like saying that the L.A. Times is Moscow-based, but on second thought, I think the L.A. Times actually IS Moscow-based.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good analogy, because I'm at least partly Anaheim-based in spirit - Even though I don't actually live or work in Anaheim.
ReplyDeleteDoes this new standard now make me Laguna Hills-based?
ReplyDeletePossibly. All I'm able to say for sure is that you would NOT be Fountain Valley-based,... even if you lived there.
ReplyDeleteI actually saw Laguna Hills for the first time just days before we moved into the Fountain Valley house, that was in April of 1982.
ReplyDeleteHey, Chris Jepsen has helped document and preserve a lot of Anaheim, you can take a bow for that...and if I have my way you will be Anaheim based someday anyway. Colony prices are dropping (God help those of us who already own) so even historians and artists can buy here now...(grin)
