Color: Brown
"Historic and Cultural Element of the Plan of Developement, City of Industry", an unpublished manuscript describing the scope of work for the restoration of the Workman Homestead, City of Industry, ca. 1974. The title page has a photographic detail of the front door of La Casa Nueva over which the title of the work, the names of the structures described, and the words "BICENTENNIAL PROJECT 1976 FOR THE CITY OF INDUSTRY" at the center. On the title page are the names of city officals and the names of contracted consultants for the project, as well as the title. The contents include a description of the city's plan of development; a preface about the bicentennial project; an introduction to the scope of the project; an illustrative site plan; and a historic overview, supplemented by maps and illustrations, including black and white and color photographs. This is followed by a detailed preliminary site report by architect Raymond Girvigian, which includes comparisons to other historic sites, as well as proposed specific uses for the Homestead with a detailed survey of each element of the site and bibliography. An appendix includes information on the Gamble and Rowland houses, a list of interred persons in the Walter P. Temple Memorial mausoleum, and more site photographs. With a tear on the top edge of the front cover; covre creases; and some edge wear on the pages, the work is in good condition.Lexicon
