Wilshire Federal Building

The Wilshire Federal Building is an office building in Los Angeles, located on Wilshire and Sepulveda Boulevards in the area of Sawtelle. Many of Los Angeles’ federal offices are located in this building. The building actually is not located on municipal Los Angeles land, but in a small (0.90-square-mile (2.3 km2)), unincorporated area of Los Angeles County enclosed by the city, known as unincorporated Sawtelle. The Federal Building is an example of Late Modern architecture. The three buildings that make up this complex form a strong composition of vertical and horizontal elements supported by integrated landscape features such as courtyards, planters, and benches. The architecture uses strong linear elements, a prominent glass curtain wall, equally prominent elements of solid material, industrial material palette, and monumental aesthetic. Construction on the Wilshire Federal Building began in 1968 and was completed in 1969. It is 260.6 feet (79.43 m) high. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. The building is often the site of protests and demonstrations. For example, during the Iranian Revolution, the Federal Building was the scene of demonstrations both supporting the Revolution and supporting the Shah. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Los Angeles field office is in Suite 1700.

Windy Hill Open Space Preserve

Windy Hill Open Space Preserve is a regional park located in San Mateo County, California and operated by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD). It is readily identifiable from the flatlands of the South Bay, as it is the only "naked" part of the peninsula range (not forested). The Windy Hill Preserve comprises an important 1132 acre (4.6 km2) stretch of conservation land on the eastward side of the Peninsula Range (Santa Cruz Mountains), rising from the valley road near Portola Valley to the 1905 ft (581 m) summit from which it gets its name. Access to the summit is easy (0.5 mile moderate grade) from State Route 35, the ridge road along the Peninsula Range. Facilities focus on trails for hiking and mountain biking, with around 14 miles (22 km) of hiking trails. Paragliding and hang gliding are permitted with a special use permit, and are popular activities in the winter months when there are East winds. In clear weather there are magnificent views from the summit, and indeed the entire upper end of the park, across the campus of Stanford University to the San Francisco Bay and beyond to Mount Tamalpais and Mount Diablo. Downtown San Francisco is visible, as well as the Pacific Ocean. Most of Windy Hill is sheltered from the prevailing weather, which comes in off of the Pacific Ocean. A nice day further down can be very cold, windy, foggy or rainy at the summit. The area is rich in wildlife; among the species likely to be seen are California mule deer, coyote, California vole, white-tailed kite, American kestrel, band-tailed pigeon and California quail. There are signs warning about mountain lions, but bobcats are more common. Rattlesnakes and gopher snakes may also be found. Banana slugs and, in season, California newts are common. Spring Ridge Trail runs from the Portola Valley trailhead to Skyline Boulevard through the open, grassy part of the preserve. It, like most of the lower trails, is a fire road, open to cyclists as well as hikers and equestrians. Two trails further to the south (Hamms Gulch and the Lost Trail-Razorback Ridge-Eagle Trail combination), are single-tracks not open to cyclists. These trails run through forested country: oak, fir, buckeye, bay laurel, madrone and one or two redwoods. Because the far shore rises so steeply, Sausal Pond appears to be black or murky green, rather than sky-blue. This marshy pond is home to a few coots and the occasional mallard, to dragonflies and bullfrogs. Shoreline access is limited to not more than one or two hundred feet, much of that surrounded by bush and accessible only to the determined.

Woodside Priory School

Woodside Priory School (commonly known as The Priory) is an independent, co-educational, Benedictine Catholic, college-preparatory, day and boarding school in Portola Valley, California, United States. It is located within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco and is roughly equidistant from San Francisco to the north and San Jose to the south. History The Priory was founded in 1957 by a group of seven Hungarian Benedictine Monks from Saint Martin's Archabbey in Pannonhalma, Hungary. In 1974, the monks affiliated with Saint Anselm Abbey in Goffstown, New Hampshire. The school began on an 18-acre (73,000 m2) ranch and over the years has expanded significantly to the point that the campus now encompasses some 50 acres (200,000 m2). Originally the school was made up entirely of male boarders, but over the years the ratio of boarders to day students changed, and today the boarding school accounts for a smaller percentage of the upper school student body. In the early 1990s, the school began admitting females to the day program; the first coed senior class graduated in 1995. There have been female boarders since 2004. The Priory was granted a seven-year accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) and the Western Catholic Education Association in June 2019. Athletics The Priory offers football, cross country, volleyball, tennis, water polo, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, swimming, track and field, and baseball. In March 2025, Priory's Boys Basketball team won the California Division IV Championship in Sacramento with a 83-66 victory over Fresno Christian School. The Priory basketball gym was prominently featured in Stephen Curry: Underrated a documentary about Stephen Curry. References External links Official website

Woodward Park

Woodward Park is een park in de Amerikaanse stad Fresno in Californië. Het park ligt in het noorden van de stad naast de California State Route 41 aan Friant Road nabij de oever van de San Joaquin. Het park heeft een oppervlakte van ruim 120 ha, waarmee het het grootste park van de stad is. Het is ook het populairste. Geschiedenis Ralph Woodward, die in lange tijd in Fresno gewoond heeft, liet een deel van zijn grond na in 1968 om er een park en vogelgebied van te maken. Het park kwam te liggen in het noordoosten van de stad op de zuidoever van de San Joaquin tussen de SR 41 en Friant Road. In eerste instantie had het park een oppervlakte van zo'n 95 hectare en door toezeggingen van grond door het stadsbestuur is dat later vergroot naar ongeveer 120 hectare, waarmee het een van de grootste parken in de Central Valley is. Voorzieningen In het park bevinden zich drie kleinere vijvers en een groter meer en door het hele park lopen wandelpaden. Daarnaast beschikt het park over een amfitheater, verscheidene picknickgebieden en enkele speeltuinen. Japanse tuin Woodward Park huisvest ook een 2,34 ha grote Japanse tuin. Het idee om een Japanse tuin met bijbehorende objecten aan te leggen kwam tijdens de ontwikkeling van het park in 1967. De tuin werd een symbool van vriendschap tussen Fresno en haar Japanse partnerstad Kochi. In 1972 kreeg de landschapsarchitect Paul Saito de opdracht om samen met de Japanse theehuisbouwer Shiro Nakagawa het park te ontwerpen. De ontwerpen van een vier-seizoenentuin werden in 1974 ingeleverd. In 1975 begon men met de bouw, waarbij verschillende elementen zoals een koivijver en stenen paden werden toegevoegd, en elk seizoen kreeg zijn eigen beplanting. In 1981 was de opening voor het publiek met onder andere een delegatie uit Kochi, die als cadeau een Japanse esdoorn mee hadden gebracht om te planten bij de ingang. De tuin beschikt sinds 1989 ook over een van de twee authentieke theehuizen in de Aaneengesloten Staten. Het huisje werd in Japan gebouwd en later in de tuin weer opgebouwd.
Bailey House

Das Bailey House (auch Case Study House Nr. 21) ist ein moderner Bungalow im Stadtteil Bel Air von Los Angeles. Geschichte Von dem Psychologen Walter Bailey und seiner Ehefrau Mary bekam der Architekt Pierre Koenig 1957 den Auftrag ein Gebäude auf dem Grundstück zu errichten. Seine Planungen, die 1958 abgeschlossen waren, sahen einen offenen Grundriss vor, der durch die Stahlkonstruktion von tragenden Elementen im Gebäudeinneren weitgehend befreit war. Die Bauarbeiten begannen im gleichen Jahr und wurden 1959 beendet. Das Haus war der erste Beitrag des Architekten für das Case-Study-Houses-Programm des Magazins Arts & Architecture für experimentelle Wohnhaus-Architektur. Der Beitrag erschien im Februar 1959. Mit dem etwa fünf Kilometer entfernt liegenden Stahl House (Case Study House Nr. 22) hatte Koenig im Juni 1959 einen weiteren Beitrag zu dem Programm. Die Baukosten des Bailey House betrugen 20.000 US-Dollar. Baubeschreibung Der eingeschossige, L-förmige Baukörper ist in einem Tal errichtet. Das Gebäude besteht aus einem ost-westlich ausgerichteten Wohntrakt und dem nördlich davon gelegenen Carport, der nahtlos in das Gebäude integriert ist. Die nördliche und die westliche Fassade sind mit bodentiefen Fenstern verkleidet. Zur Straße hin schirmen weiße Metallpanele Blicke ab. Die Grundfläche ist etwa 120 m². Nutzung Das Gebäude wurde 2006 bei einer Kunstauktion versteigert. Eine japanische Kunstsammlerin gab mit etwa 3,1 Mio. US-Dollar das Höchstgebot ab. Seither wird das Gebäude auch für Kunstausstellungen genutzt. Weblinks Beschreibung und Pläne des Gebäudes Einzelnachweise
Wrigley Botanical Gardens

The Wrigley Memorial & Botanic Garden is a botanic garden on Santa Catalina Island, California, operated by the Catalina Island Conservancy. It also contains a memorial to William Wrigley Jr. Garden The botanic garden covers 38 acres (154,000 m2) near the town of Avalon on Catalina, off the shore from Los Angeles, California, US. The garden places a special emphasis on California island endemic plants, i.e., plants that grow naturally on one or more of the Channel Islands of California but nowhere else in the world. Wrigley memorial William Wrigley Jr. (1861–1932) bought most of Catalina Island in 1919 with proceeds from his chewing gum empire. When he died on January 26, 1932, at age 70, he was interred near his Catalina home, in a tower in the botanical gardens. The tower stands 130 feet high and is primarily built with local materials. Wrigley's body has been moved to Forest Lawn in Glendale, but his original grave memorial marker still adorns the tower site. Appearances in popular culture The botanic gardens were featured by Huell Howser in California's Golden Parks Episode 139.
