Down The Piney Path: News From Old Pacific Grove Ken's Comer From the Pacific Grove REVIEW: June 1905 + by E. C. Davis by Ken Hinshaw Adding Structures Built after 1926 To The Historic "List" * Members of the year-round Chautauqua Reading Club go before the Board ofTrade (now the Chamber of Commerce) with the idea for a Feast of Lanterns. The Board forms a committee to study the matter. This would be palt of the Chautauqua summer program. * 600 homing pigeons for sale at the Pacific Grove Sunshine Pigeon Ranch. * The Museum Association has a cake sale as a fund raiser. Those of us in Pacific Grove that worry about the fate of the many old houses need to begin thinking about which homes built since 1927 should be included on the list of protected structures. The current list features structures built in 1926 or earlier. The debate over the Pueblo Revival cottage at 1021 Ocean View, whose owners did not want it protected so they could sell it without re- strictions, brought close scrutiny of the Historic Preservation Ordinance by the City Attorney. He interpreted that age is not a factor in adding homes to the His- torie Inventory. * Friends of the Forest, Del Mar Chapter, give an entertainment and dance as a fund raiser for all members. Included is a cake walk and music. * The Sacramento Packers Company catch 2600 salmon in a single day, each weighing an average of twelve pounds. * Closing ceremonies are held for the graduating class at the high school. Various presentations are made, including a "Class Phrenology." There are violin solos and vocal performances by Professor Fairweather and Professor Lawlence. Some homes that could be considered for protection are: 1) 830 Jewell, the inter- esting one story "prefab" cottage designed by noted local architect Robert Stan- ton in the 1930's. 2) 888 Del Monte is a large colonial home built in 1941 by a local fisherman, restrained on the exterior, this home is one of the finest of this style in Pacific Grove. 3) The 600 block of Spazier boasts a concentration of es- pecially good examples of 30's Spanish, Modern and Tudor style. 4) 869 Del Monte is one of the only Prairie Style homes in P. G. * The Pmble Grocery Company has a window of something new and better in jelly glasses. Because of the heavy workload of the city planning staff, the only way any of the above homes (or any of the many not mentioned) are going to be added to the protected list is at the request of the owner. Anyone interested in informa- tion about this, please call me (Ken Hinshaw) at 375-0816. * Two ladies are thrown from their buggy when their horse becomes frightened and makes a quick turn. * A 17 pound turnip is raised and put on display. Sad Story * A car off the track is absolutely helpless. Many people are like a car off the track * The SPCA meets at City Hall and amongst other things reports vigilance should be observed to prevent horses being driven at too high a speed. * To promote the building of a Methodist church in Carmel, the Pacific Grove Methodist Choir traveled there for a performance, afterwards selling ice cream, coffee, cake, etc. When visitors come to the Barn, Barnmeister Don Beals has, in the past, showed them the old photo of the interior of Tuttle's Pharmacy, explaining that the build- ing still had its original tin ceiling and wood cabinetry. He sadly reported that the new shop owner at 551 Lighthouse has demolished the wall cabinets "be- cause they were not needed." The original tin ceiling remains. Going, Going, Gone * The Pacific Grove Bath House opens for the season. * The residents are reminded of a 1902 ordinance forbidding the running of chickens at large. A fine of $15-$25 is imposed, and imprisonment for not more than 25 days. * Local Japanese present a dramatization ofthe destruction of the Russian Early last year the Board of Directors authorized the printing of 1,000 copies of the Historic Home Resource Directory and they have gone like hot cakes. We have about 100 more at the Barn. I promise I'll try to persuade the ever cautious Board to spend some of our scarce funds (about $400) to print an updated ver- sion. This is your chance to add the name of those you have come to trust to work on your historic home. Call me at 375-0816, or drop a note in our mail slot at the barn with the name and/or business, including the type of work they do. fleet. 8 9 , OCR Text: Down The Piney Path: News From Old Pacific Grove Ken's Comer From the Pacific Grove REVIEW: June 1905 by E.
