<p>Alameda City Hall is a historic city hall civic building in Alameda, California. The building has been continually used since it was first built in 1895. It has a historical marker erected in 1998 by the Native Sons of the Golden West; and is listed as one of the National Register of Historic Places since 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Alameda City Hall was built in 1895, and remains from the city&#39;s initial period of economic prosperity that was created by the expansion of the railroad network on the end of the 19th century. It was constructed some twenty years after the city charter was established in 1872. The city of Alameda was the first in California, and the second in the nation to operate its own power plant which opened a few years prior in 1886. Alameda City Hall was designed with incandescent lighting in the late-19th century, which was considered a luxury at that time. The building is a three-story, masonry structure with a hipped roof.</p><br>
<p>The Romanesque Revival style building was designed by George Percy of the firm of Percy and Hamilton. Thomas Day and Sons built the structure. The firm of Percy & Hamilton designed roughly 200 buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area, including the notable Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University, and the Childrens Playhouse or Childrens Quarters (now known as the Koret Children&#39;s Playground) in Golden Gate Park.</p><br>
<p>The Alameda City Hall is located across the street from the Alameda Free Library, another NHRP-listed site.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Alameda City Hall is a three-story, masonry structure with a hipped roof. The two upper stories rest on a ground floor with slightly battered walls and a concrete surface that is rusticated to simulate sandstone. The ground floor terminates in a water table. Square windows are set in deep reveals and generally divided into four lights. The Oak Street entrance has double-glazed doors with a transom set in a segmental-arched opening with a scored fan pattern above mimicking a masonry arch construction. A long flight of granite steps with a solid railing leads to the main entrance on Santa Clara Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The structure is divided vertically into three blocks, the center block being recessed on both the front and rear elevations. On the principal Santa Clara Avenue facade, the recessed central portion has the entrance in the center of three monumental, round-headed brick arches embellished with continuous architrave molding. The arches spring from capped piers with engaged colonnettes. Behind this arcaded section an entrance porch precedes the round-arched entrance doors with fan transoms, Windows flank the entrance doors. Above the arcade is a plain cornice with the legend "City Hall" set in raised letters above the central arch. The rest of the second story has round-arched openings set in the brick-faced wall. The double-hung windows have transoms with a fan pattern divided into five sections.</p><br>
<p>The third story is also recessed in the central portion of the main and rear facades. On the main facade the central portion projects over the entrance arch and has three narrow windows. To either side are segmental arched windows set in the main plane of the wall. These, like the rest of the third-floor windows, have a central mullion and a transom section. Windows are double-hung. A plain string course is expressed in the division between the second and third stories. The third story terminates in a frieze of bricks imitating machicolation. A bracketed, moulded cornice supports the eaves.</p><br>
<p>The structure initially featured a two-story clock tower situated prominently above the central section of the main facade. This tower boasted round-arched windows, shallow balconies on the upper story, and a hipped roof adorned with a bracketed cornice. Unfortunately, the tower sustained damage during the 1906 earthquake and was subsequently dismantled in 1937. However, the base section still stands above the entrance porch.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Alameda City Hall stands as a prominent civic symbol from the citys early era of economic growth fueled by the expansion of the railroad network in the late 19th century. Erected just over two decades after the city was granted its charter in 1872, the construction encapsulated the civic aspirations of Alamedas residents. Notably, the City of Alameda achieved a pioneering status in California, being the first and the second in the United States to operate its own power plant, inaugurated in 1886. This innovation allowed the City Hall to boast the luxury of incandescent lighting, a significant advancement for its time.</p><br>
<p>Designed by George Percy of the architectural firm Percy and Hamilton, the structure reflects the prevailing trend of the Romanesque Revival Style, introduced in the United States by Henry Hobson Richardson. Richardsons influential design for the Allegheny County Courthouse (1884–1890) served as a model, and the Alameda City Hall subtly mirrors its general format. Noteworthy is the fact that Percy & Hamilton, the architectural firm behind the Alameda City Hall, contributed to approximately 200 buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area, including notable projects like the Stanford University Art Museum and the Childrens Playhouse in Golden Gate Park.</p><br>

<p>The Ambassador Theater is a historic Streamline Moderne movie theater on Liberty Heights Avenue in the Howard Park section of Baltimore, Maryland. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a designated Baltimore City Landmark.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Ambassador was proposed in 1933 by F.H. Durkee Enterprises, who at the time operated the largest chain of movie theaters in Baltimore, at a site directly opposite the Gwynn Theater on Liberty Heights Avenue in the Howard Park neighborhood of Northwest Baltimore. After unsuccessful opposition from the owners of the Gwynn, the new theater was built in 1935. It was designed by John Jacob Zink, a prominent theater architect, and built by E. Eyring and Sons. It was at the time the most modern theater in Baltimore, superseded in 1939 by another Zink cinema, the Senator Theatre.</p><br>
<p>During the 1960s the Ambassador was a first-run cinema, showing movies immediately upon release, as opposed the second and third-run theaters more typical of the outer portions of Baltimore. However, it closed in October 1968, unable to compete with television. A month later, it reopened as a ballroom. A few years later it became a dinner theater, and in 1982 became a roller rink. Through this time it had been essentially unaltered.</p><br>
<p>In 1987 it was sold, and in 1989 became the Ron Thomas School of Cosmetology. In 2001 it was sold to the Zion Walls Power of God Ministries, and became a church. It became vacant in 2009, and was damaged by a 2012 fire that destroyed much of the interior.</p><br>
<p>In 2019 the Ambassodor was acquired by Artspace, a non-profit organization devoted to neighborhood performance and art.</p><br>
<p>During its time as a cinema, it was a regular destination for future movie director Barry Levinson, who went almost every week.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ambassador Theater is a large two-story brick auditorium with a ziggurat-like stepped facade organized around two vertical pylons. The Liberty Heights Avenue frontage is built of yellow brick, accented with contrasting horizontal brick striping. The western pylon holds the theaters sign. The theater is in the Streamline Moderne style, with prominent curves. The rounded forms and steps were originally emphasized by neon tubing. The theaters marquee extends the entire width of the front. A deep recess at the center forms the theater&#39;s entrance. Much of the lower facade originally incorporated Vitrolite panels, which has since been removed. The side and rear elevations are plain and utilitarian, in red brick.</p><br>
<p>The interior has been much altered as the theater&#39;s use has changed. The front entry opens into a two-story foyer space leading to the auditorium, extending upward behind the facade steps. Stairs to either side give access to the upper level, housed in flanking curved facade pylons There is no balcony, the second floor consisted of the projection booth and accessory space. The auditorium curved inwards toward the screen. There is a shallow stagespace behind the former screen location. Fire exits were provided at each corner, with passages leading back out to Liberty Heights Avenue.</p><br>
<p>Most of the interior finishes have been removed, including the auditorium ceiling. The curved proscenium frame survives. Fragments of Art Deco decoration have survived in some locations.</p><br>
<h2>Historic designation</h2><br>
<p>The Ambassador was named a Baltimore City Landmark in 2016. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 27, 2023.</p><br>
<p>The College Hill Historic District in Pullman, Washington is a 23.7-acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. The listing included 81 contributing properties. The district includes work by several notable architects elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects, including David M. Scott, Stanley Albert Smith, Rudolph Weaver, Harry C. Weller, and Harold C. Whitehouse.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The primary architectural styles are Colonial Revival, Classical Revival, and Tudor Revival and Bunglow/Craftsman. The historic use of the single-dwelling structures were for domestic use by faculty, staff and students of Washington State University. As the town of Pullman and the university grew, more and more faculty, staff and students had to find housing in other neighborhoods and other residential hills in town.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The district first underwent construction starting in 1888. The architect was Smith, Stanley; Nelson, Silas, et al. Most of the housing stock dates from the late 19th-century into the early 20th-century.</p><br>
<p>The three major styles are Colonial Revival, Bungalow/Craftsmen, and Tudor Revival. The Colonial Revival structures include an accented entryway, that frequently includes a pediment, and frequently include a steeply pitched roof. 29% of the homes in the historical district were designed in the Colonial Revival style. The Tudor Revival homes all have steeply pitched roofs with side-gables, and half-timbered details. They also include massive chimneys. Approximately 14% of the homes in the historic district were built in the Tudor Revival style. The Bungalow/Craftsman homes have low-pitched roofs with wide overhanging eaves. They also include porches, and are primarily one or one and a half stories. 30% of the homes in the historic district are in the Bungalow/Craftsman style.</p><br>
<p>The "crown jewels" of the historic district were sold by Washington State University against recommendations of community members of the College Hill Association.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The district is roughly bounded by Stadium Way, B St., Howard St., and Indiana St. in Pullman, WA. The neighborhood is accessed via four main entry points: from downtown, College Hill is accessed by Kamiakin and Whitman Streets. From the north side, access is by way of Stadium Way, and from the east, from Colorado Street. Many of the streets are lined with mature trees.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>The College Hill Historic District has maintained an integrity of location, design, and workmanship. University faculty and staff are still prevalent residents. Many homes have been altered over the years but maintain their historic integrity. The historic district was developed between 1888 and 1946, and the buildings still retain this character. The district achieves National Register Criterion A and Criterion C as an embodiment of a definitive style of pre-World War vernacular revival architecture.</p><br>

<p>Kotani-en, also known as the Kotani-En Garden is a classical Japanese residence designed in the formal Japanese architecture-style reminiscent of a 13th-century estate in Los Gatos, in Santa Clara County, California. "Kotani-en" translates to "miniature park" in Japanese. The garden features walls with tile roofs that encircle a tea house, shrine, gardens, and ponds. It was built between 1918 and 1924 for Max M. Cohen, utilizing materials of mahogany, cedar, bamboo, and ceramic tiles. The property is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is California Historical Landmark #903.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Kotani-en is a Japanese garden estate located in Los Gatos, California. The estate was constructed by architect Takahashi Takashima, along with eleven craftsmen from Japan. It replicates the design of a Samurai residence, reminiscent of a 13th-century estate, complete with tile-roofed walls that enclose a tea house, shrine, landscaped gardens, and a pond with imperial koi. Situated on two acres, Kotani-En is located less than 2 miles from downtown Los Gatos. Since its completion in 1924, the property has remained in private ownership.</p><br>
<p>Construction of Hakone started around 1918, and took a decade to complete at a cost of more than $250,000. The garden was commissioned by San Francisco industrialist Max M. Cohn in 1918. The creek has been dammed to form a pond with botanical specimens that were originally imported from Japan. The garden features a pond with waterfalls, a 13th-century-style residence, a Buddhist temple, stone lanterns, iron sculptures depicting cranes and turtles, and Torii gates.</p><br>
<p>Kotani-En was built employing period-appropriate tools. No nails were utilized in the construction, and all structures were assembled using traditional mortise and tenon joinery techniques. The architectural elements are crafted from cryptomeria cedar and mahogany, with bronze lanterns and a glazed ceramic tile roof. The garden&#39;s temple, devoted to the deity Ben-ten, is surrounded by a Roji wall fifteen feet high in certain sections.</p><br>
<p>In 1968, Bill Robson, a consulting engineer, acquired Kotani-en and spent 15 years restoring the garden. The name "Kotani-en" translates to "miniature park" in Japanese.

<p>Cueva Pintada, locally known as La Cueva Pintada, , is a well preserved prehistoric rock shelter covered with white, red, black, and ochre pictographs created by the Salinan people. The site is protected within Fort Hunter Liggett, located about 10 mi southwest of King City, California, United States. Cueva Pintada was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 13, 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cueva Pintada is located southwest of King City, California, in southern Monterey County on the Fort Hunter Liggett reservation.</p><br>
<p>It is archaeological site CA-MNT-256.</p><br>
<p>Its cave walls have pictographs that originate from peoples who inhabited this region around 10,000 in the past. A USA Army report from 1975 states that some of the pictographs may have been created by more recent Indigenous peoples.</p><br>
<p>The Cueva Pintada site is Salinan in origin. It corresponds to the "Cave of the Idols," which was presented to the padres at Mission San Antonio de Padua shortly after its establishment and is referenced in Junípero Serra&#39;s letter dated May 21, 1773. The Salinan Native American tribe lived along the Salinas River, encompassing present-day Monterey County and San Luis Obispo counties.</p><br>
<p>According to the California State Military Museum, visits to the site are limited by the United States Army base at Fort Hunter Liggett. The entrance to the cave is at an elevation 3,000 ft. The Cueva Pintada site is protected by a chain-link fence and razor wire. The walls are covered with prehistoric white, red, black, and ochre pictographs. The rock overhangs and caves served as a rock shelter, standing approximately 16.5 ft high and 21 ft wide. The cave is at a width of 45 ft, with a depth between 15 ft and 20 ft. The pictographs illustrate animals as well as geometric and linear patterns.</p><br>
<p>In 1980, Archaeological Consulting, led by Gary S. Breschini and Trudy Haversat, began on a project focused on documenting the pictographs found at the archaeological site CA-MNT-256 at Cueva Pintada, with the support from the State Historic Preservation Office. The archaeological exploration of the site resulted in the creation of over 360 drawings, tracings, and photographs capturing the pictographs. These records are currently housed at the Rock Art Archives at University of California, Los Angeles.</p><br>
<p>Cueva Pintada was registered on the National Register of Historic Places on February 13, 1975, for King City, Monterey County, California.</p><br>

<p>Durant Hall is a historical building in Berkeley, California. It was originally dedicated in 1911 as the Boalt Memorial Hall of Law, and was named in the memory of Judge John H. Boalt  because his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth J. Boalt, gave $100,000 towards its construction. A group of California lawyers gave $50,000. The four-story building was designed by architect John Galen Howard  in the Beaux-Arts style, like much of the core campus of the University of California, Berkeley.</p><br>
<p>From 1911 to 1951, the building was the home of the UC Berkeley School of Jurisprudence, which later became the School of Law. By 1921, enrollment had reached 285, which was clearly too much for a building of that size and resulted in severe overcrowding. The building&#39;s tiny size was one of the primary constraints on the growth of the law school at Berkeley for over three decades.</p><br>
<p>In 1951, the law school finally moved to a newly-constructed law building in the southeastern corner of campus, which was dedicated as the new Boalt Hall. The old Boalt Hall was renamed Durant Hall in honor of the first president of the University of California Berkeley, Henry Durant (1802-1875), president from 1870 to 1872.</p><br>
<p>Durant Hall was then home to UC Berkeley&#39;s East Asian Library from 1951 to 2007. That library also grew too big for Durant Hall, and like the law school, was suffering from severe overcrowding by the time it moved to the new C.V. Starr East Asian Library building in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 1982.</p><br>
<p>In 2010, after a renovation, Durant Hall reopened as the new home for the offices of the deans of the UC Berkeley College of Letters and Science.</p><br>
<p>Hearst Gymnasium for Women, now called the Hearst Memorial Gymnasium, is a historical building in Berkeley, California. The Hearst Gymnasium for Women was built in 1927. The building and it site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 1982. The Hearst Gymnasium for Women was designed by Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan. The Hearst Gymnasium for Women was named after Phoebe Apperson Hearst , the mother of William Randolph Hearst . William Randolph paid for the gymnasium building as a memorial to his mother. The gymnasium replaced the original gymnasium that was lost in 1922 fire. The original wooden gymnasium was called Hearst Hall designed by Maybeck. Hearst Gymnasium for Women operated as retreat center for women, as it also had fine lodging, a fine dining hall, social center and three outdoor swimming pools. The building also houses the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology. The gymnasium has: dance studios, classrooms, conference rooms, a large and small gymnasium. Next to the gymnasium are the Hearst Tennis Courts, Hearst North Field, and the Hearst Field Annex. When opened the gymnasium also had an indoor rifle range.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Hearst Gym, a long, two-story rectangular structure made of stuccoed reinforced concrete, is positioned along the east-west axis of the campus on Bancroft Way. Reflecting the eclectic Classic style of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, the building exudes a sense of symmetry and regularity. Its south elevation features three rectangular pavilions with uniform facades that project outward from the main structure. Elevated above street level, the south facade overlooks a terrace with a retaining wall adorned by a Classical balustrade and large urns in a free Classic style. A staircase descends from the sidewalk to the street, framed by low walls with rounded coping and a single urn. This design uniquely integrates the building with the street compositionally.</p><br>
<p>The pavilions include aedicules, while the building itself has a flat roof with a simple entablature and a slightly projecting cornice. The recessed parts of the facade contain four windows extending from the ground to the architrave, featuring small, square panes of glass set in bronze muntins, divided by a bronze frieze with Pompeian or Florentine decorations. These windows are further adorned with pairs of bronze colonettes. Above, fluted pilasters with composite capitals and plain bases support the window hoods.</p><br>
<p>On the main terrace level of the north elevation lies a large central pool flanked by open courtyards. Inside, there are six gymnasiums, offices, a library, and lounges arranged around the courtyards and pool. The pool court is surrounded by a low wall with a molded base, seat, and top, designed to hold plants. The ends of this wall are capped with monumental hollow pedestals featuring sculpted figures of dancing ladies with garlands. Topped with dentil cornices, these pedestals serve as planters for small trees. The central pavilion doorway, designed similarly to the windows, is flanked by low balustrades with statues and urns at the ends. This "stage-set" effect is enhanced by the absence of any equipment except a diving board. The east and west facades share similarities but are less prominent.</p><br>
<p>Despite some interior modifications, the architectural integrity of Hearst Gym remains intact.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>When it was designed and built, the Hearst Gymnasium for Women stood out as the premier recreational facility for women at any institution of higher education in the state. Its architectural significance is highlighted by its designers, two of California&#39;s foremost architects, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan. The gymnasium embodies a romantic Classicism style akin to Maybeck’s renowned Palace of Fine Arts for the 1915 Pan-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. The building also holds historical importance due to its connection with notable Californians Phoebe Apperson Hearst and her son, William Randolph Hearst, who dedicated the building as a memorial to his mother. It replaced the previous Hearst Hall, also designed by Maybeck, which was destroyed by fire in 1922.</p><br>
<p>Hearst Gymnasium was envisioned as a comprehensive sanctuary for women, offering comfortable spaces for lounging, dining, and sleeping, catering especially to female students who commuted and spent long hours on campus. Upon its completion, it was reputed to be the largest and most advanced womens gymnasium in the nation. The facilitys requirement of 325,000 gallons of water for its pools even led to the construction of a new water treatment system on Bancroft Way by the City of Berkeley.</p><br>
<p>The Earl and Virginia Young House, also known as the Young-Sartorette House, stands as a historic residence in Campbell, California. Constructed in 1928, it served as the home for Earl Young, a successful orchard farmer in the Santa Clara Valley, and his family. The house is historically significant in the Tudor Revival architectural style, which gained popularity in the mid-twentieth century. In 1981, the Herz family relocated both the house and garage to prevent them from potential demolition. The Young-Sartorette House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 8, 2009.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1928, Earl Young acquired a parcel of land from his brother for the sum of $10. He was a local farmer, insurance agent, and Vice President of the California Prune and Apricot Growers Association. He then engaged architect and builder Benjamin H. Painter to oversee the construction of a residence. This property, amidst orchards rather than being close to town, served as both a family home and a business office. The land was bordered on one side by the primary road connecting San Jose and Santa Cruz, originally known as the Old Santa Clara and Los Gatos Road, and later renamed Bascom Avenue. White Oaks Road, formerly part of the Old Santa Clara and Los Gatos Road, marked another boundary of the property. The Bascom Avenue location would prove to be strategically central for the property&#39;s future value. Even with the advent of Highway 17, the original roadways continue to play essential roles as major thoroughfares for the communities of Campbell, Los Gatos, and San Jose.</p><br>
<p>The house changed hands, passing to Collette and Charley Sartorette in 1946, who raised horses on the property. The original location of the house was 14301 S. Bascom Avenue. In 1979, the house faced the threat of demolition due to a zoning change from agriculture to planned development. This action cleared the area for commercial use. In that year, the house was added to the Santa Clara County Heritage Inventory. The new owner, a developer, required to offer the house for free on the condition that they buy a vacant lot and move the house. Relocating the house was the sole means of preserving it. In 1980, the current owners, Joanna, and Rudolf "Rudy" Herz, made the decision to purchase the property from the Sartorette family. In 1981, the Herz family took on the task of relocating 2,500 ft&sup2; residence, moving it a distance of 700 ft to the west, onto a smaller lot within the same property. Additionally, they repositioned the home 180 degrees, now fronting White Oaks Road. Unfortunately, the interior and exterior plaster sustained damage during the relocation process. A retired plasterer, Joe Aruta, restored the walls. The restoration of the house and garage was successfully completed in 1985.</p><br>
<p>On April 29, 2018, the Herz family organized a historic house tour of the Young-Sartorette property, with the proceeds from the event benefiting the Campbell Museums.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Earl and Virginia Young House, constructed in 1928, is a Tudor Revival residence, featuring a one-and-a-half-story layout and spanning approximately 2,500 ft&sup2;. Its facade is defined by one of five steeply pitched gable roofs, with a rounded arched doorway with a board-and-batten front door framed by large stones and stucco, and a turret crowning the recessed entryway. The exterior has stone corners beneath the textured stucco, and a chimney rising from a brick-capped fireplace. The house itself is crafted from locally sourced redwood, both in its interior and exterior walls, which are constructed with lath and plaster. Inside, the house retains its original heavy-textured plaster walls with bullnosing. The cathedral-ceiling living room and terracotta-tile fireplace with a keystone bas-relief. The first floor of the house consists of a living room, a formal dining room, a kitchen, a separate breakfast room, a mud room, a full bathroom, two bedrooms, and an office.</p><br>
<p>The residence retains its original materials and details, including wide plank, pegged hardwood floors and unpainted wood trim. Original tall and narrow windows are arranged in multiple clusters with multi-pane glazing. While a new imitation slate roof has been added for safety and insurance purposes, it includes copper flashing, gutters, and downspouts. The two-car garage, crafted in a style and materials similar with the house, is situated to the left of the house, is accessible via a driveway curving past the front entry or directly from the street. The property is shielded from both the street and neighboring properties by clusters of trees and landscaped gardens. A weathered brick wall further encloses the cedar grove in the front of the house.</p><br>
<p>The house and garage, set back twenty-five feet from the street, are set on a 7,470 ft&sup2; parcel within a residential area that was once a thriving prune and apricot orchard with significant economic connections to the local Campbell canneries. Both the house and the garage face the White Oaks Road. Square columns made of weathered bricks, which frame wrought-iron gates, provide support for a wooden arbor and patio between the house and the garage. In the rear, an additional arbor, attached to the house, creates an outdoor seating area that centers around a small raised fishpond, with aged brickwork.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>The Earl and Virginia Young House is historically significant according to the National Register of Historic Places criterion A, in Architecture due to its representation of the Tudor Revival residential design. The period of historical significance is marked by its construction in 1928. The house adheres to the features of Tudor Revival style, including its steeply pitched roof, tall and slender windows, the turret, and its stucco siding. Furthermore, it aligns with criterion B, pertaining to area of Moved Properties, since both the house and garage, with their architectural qualities, were relocated to avert potential demolition.</p><br>
<p>The Earl & Virginia Young House achieved Campbell Historic Landmark status in 1981 when the City of Campbell awarded the Young-Sartorette memorial plaque, officially recognizing it as a Campbell Historic landmark. In 1999, the Earl & Virginia Young House secured recertification and was designated as the sixth entry on the Santa Clara County Heritage Inventory within the city of Campbell.
