Poe Dam

Poe Dam is a concrete gravity diversion dam on the North Fork Feather River, about 5 miles (8.0 km) north of Lake Oroville in Butte County, California in the United States. Completed in 1959, the dam is the lowermost component of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Feather River Canyon Power Project, a system of 10 hydroelectric stations along the North Fork. The dam is 60 ft (18 m) high and 440 ft (130 m) long, with water flows controlled by four 50 ft × 41 ft (15 m × 12 m) radial gates. The dam diverts water through an 6.3-mile (10.1 km) tunnel to the 120 megawatt Poe Powerhouse, located on the upper reaches of Lake Oroville. The powerhouse has a rated hydraulic head of 477 ft (145 m), generating about 500 million kilowatt hours annually. On November 8, 2018, the Camp Fire, a destructive wildfire that destroyed the nearby community of Concow and the town of Paradise and caused multiple deaths, originated close to Poe Dam at the location of downed power lines across the Feather River. In an initial comment, PG&E stated that a cause of the fire had not been determined yet and that there would be an investigation. Poe Dam is a popular kayaking site.

Robert Jack House

The Robert Jack House, at 536 Marsh St. in San Luis Obispo, California, is a two-story Italianate-style historic house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The listing included two contributing buildings. The Jack House is now owned by the City of San Luis Obispo. Volunteer docents offer guided tours on Sundays from April through November, and the house is also open for holiday celebrations and special events. The house was built by, and was a home of, Robert Edgar Jack (died 1916), who was "a prominent banker and land developer and wool grower in Central California." The house was deemed significant for its association with Jack. He lived there from 1882 until his death. Jack, as a banker and a leading citizen, was quite involved in promoting the development of railroad through the central coast, and also benefited economically from the railroad. The house is also perhaps of significance architecturally as a good example of Italianate architecture.

Roble Hall

Roble Hall () is a dormitory at Stanford University. It was built in 1917 to house women students. It is the oldest dormitory at Stanford that is still in use as a dormitory. It takes its name from the Spanish word for oak tree, although its pronunciation has been anglicized from “robe-leh” to “robe-lee”. History Roble Hall was designed by architect George Kelham, who also designed the old San Francisco Public Library in 1917 (now housing the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco). It was considered an architectural jewel of the Beaux-Arts architecture movement. It is three stories high and is built in the shape of an H, with A, B, and Center wings, along with a semi-attached C wing which was added later. Built as a women's dormitory, and later used exclusively for freshmen women, it was converted to a co-ed residence in 1968. Now housing approximately 310 students, it is an upperclassman dorm, but houses mostly seniors due to its number of coveted singles. The residence underwent an extensive seismic retrofit in 1987-1988, reopening in September 1989, just weeks before the Loma Prieta earthquake, which it survived without damage. Additional retrofitting was performed during the summers of 2006 and 2007. The original residence for Stanford women was a different building, also named Roble Hall. It was built in haste in 1891 to house the 80 women of the first Stanford undergraduate class. Designed by concrete pioneer Ernest L. Ransome, it survived the 1906 earthquake but was replaced as the women's dormitory by the current Roble Hall in 1918. The original Roble was renamed Sequoia Hall, used as a men’s dormitory until 1957, and demolished in 1996 to make room for the Science and Engineering Quad. References

San Bernardino County Court House

The San Bernardino County Court House, is a Classical Revival building located at 351 N. Arrowhead Ave. in San Bernardino, is the county courthouse for San Bernardino County, California. The courthouse was built in 1927 and has served as the center of county government since then. A 1937 welfare building, a 1940 county library, and a 1940 heating plant are also located on the courthouse grounds, which are extensively landscaped and include a fountain, sundial, plaque, and the remains of the former county courthouse. The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1998. History Because of an Earthquake that occurred in the 1920s, the Earlier County Courthouse was severely damaged and found unsafe. The County Supervisors suggested constructiong a new courthouse. After reviewing three sites and public opinions fond of the new courthouse idea, the supervisors bought a block on North Arrowhead Street and issued a $450,000 bond for the construction of the new courthouse. On November 17, 1925, R.W. Wescott was selected as contractor. Noted local architect Howard E. Jones (1885 - 1966), who had proposed multiple ideas for remodels of the original Courthouse, was responsible for design. He is said to have drawn inspiration from the 1893 World Columbian Exposition in Chicago and the recent City Beautiful movement, which sparked the popularisation of Classical Revival and other monumental Architectural styles in the United States. Description The building's design features classical columns spanning the second and third floors, a parapet along the roof line, regularly spaced windows, and extensive use of projecting blocks on the front facade. The courthouse is faced with unpainted stone and stucco, an uncommon design choice. It is the only surviving Classical Revival building in the city.

San Fernando Pioneer Memorial Cemetery

San Fernando Pioneer Memorial Cemetery, earlier known as Morningside Cemetery, is a cemetery in the Sylmar district of Los Angeles, California, United States. Located on a 3.8-acre (15,000 m2) site at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Bledsoe Street, the Pioneer Cemetery was originally a 10-acre (400,000 m2) site. History The cemetery was established in 1874 when Senator Charles Maclay created the Township of San Fernando. The last burial was most likely in 1939. It was known at the time as the San Fernando Cemetery and also as the Morningside Cemetery, and is the oldest non-denominational cemetery in the San Fernando Valley, the area's oldest cemetery being the San Fernando Mission Cemetery, which began operating in approximately 1800. Approximately 700 residents were buried there between 1892 and 1939. Due to heavy vandalism, there were only 13 tombstones remaining. After the cemetery was determined to be legally abandoned in 1959, it was acquired by the Native Daughters of the Golden West San Fernando Mission Chapter #280, renamed, and maintained as a pioneer memorial park. Edith Reber, a longtime resident of Sylmar and an active member of the Chamber, ran a volunteer effort to maintain the grounds with the help of local volunteer groups for many years. In 1979, new condominiums were built on the adjacent property. The building permit required the builder to construct a wrought-iron fence surrounding the cemetery with locked gates to help preserve the historic property. In 2002, the Native Daughters gave the cemetery to the San Fernando Valley Historical Society. The Society has made many improvements to the property, including installing a memorial brick entrance, and occasionally opening the cemetery to the public. The Society also commissioned a ground-penetrating radar survey in 2010 that located 214 gravesites. Through volunteer research, nearly 700 death certificates citing Morningside Cemetery have been located. These death certificates reveal the community's earliest population, mortality, and disease demographics. The cemetery was listed as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1993. As "San Fernando Cemetery", it is a California Historical Landmark. It is listed as a filming location for the 1959 Ed Wood movie “Plan 9 From Outer Space.” See also List of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments in the San Fernando Valley References External links San Fernando Valley Historical Society Historical Marker Database "The San Fernando Pioneer Memorial Cemetery" Stephanie Chavez, "Sylmar Seeks to Undo Years of Ravages to Cemetery," Los Angeles Times, November 23, 1984, p.

San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge

The San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area of along the San Joaquin River in the northern San Joaquin Valley, California. It is within San Joaquin County and Stanislaus County. It protects more than 7,000 acres (28 km2) of riparian woodlands, wetlands, and grasslands and hosts a diversity of native wildlife. Established in 1987 under the authority of the Endangered Species and Migratory Bird Conservation Acts, the refuge has also played a major role in the recovery of Aleutian cackling geese. Riparian forest Within the borders of the San Joaquin National Wildlife Refuge is one of California's largest riparian forest restoration projects. 400,000 native trees have been planted across 1,700 acres (6.9 km2) of the river's floodplain. The major project was led by River Partners, Inc., a non-profit organization committed to restoring riparian zone habitat for wildlife. Riparian forests, which once covered large portions of California's Central Valley, have been greatly reduced due to state and federal water projects and diversions. The riparian habitat is host to many rare animals. Swainson's hawks nest in the canopy of tall cottonwood trees. Herons and cormorants form communal nesting colonies within the tops of the large oaks on Christman Island. Endangered riparian brush rabbits have been reintroduced to their historic habitat from captive-reared populations. This population has been negatively impacted by the destruction of their riparian habitat. Another subspecies, the San José brush rabbit, is considered critically endangered.

Shafter station (Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway)

The Santa Fe Passenger and Freight Depot is a former Santa Fe Railroad station located at 150 Central Valley Highway in Shafter, in the southern San Joaquin Valley within Kern County, California. History The San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad was built in the late 1890s and later became the Valley Division of the Santa Fe. The station was built in 1917 to serve Shafter, which was at the time a small farming community. The building's design followed the "standard combination freight depot" Number 2-A plan developed by Santa Fe Railroad engineers in 1911. The design originally included a porch supported by columns, a ticket office, a waiting room, a freight room, and a baggage room. In 1938, the porch was enclosed and became the new waiting room so the inside of the station could be used for office space, which was needed to handle increased freight service. The Santa Fe Railroad closed the station in 1978. Museum The Santa Fe Railroad donated the station to the Shafter Historical Society in 1979 which relocated it in 1980. The station now functions as the historical society's Shafter Depot Museum. The depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 19, 1982.

Shasta Regional Medical Center

Shasta Regional Medical Center, formerly known as Redding Medical Center and Memorial Hospital, is a general acute care hospital that is located in Redding, California. It opened in 1945 and currently has 226 beds with a basic emergency department. History The hospital was founded by Dr. Thomas Wyatt, M.D., in 1945 as Memorial Hospital. It was purchased by Tenet Healthcare Corporation in 1976 and renamed Redding Medical Center. In 2008, it was sold to Hospital Partners of America and renamed Shasta Regional Medical Center. Legal issues In 2002, amid a federal investigation of two cardiologists at the hospital, Drs. Chae Hyun Moon and Fidel Realyvasquez, and as part of a settlement with federal regulators, Tenet Healthcare Corporation was compelled to sell the hospital to Hospital Partners of America for US$60 million in 2004. Unnecessary care and billing At Redding Medical Center, the early-2000s investigation, raid and litigation were prompted because "physicians undertook large volumes of inappropriate and unnecessary procedures on largely healthy patients". The investigation into Moon and Realyvasquez was the result of multiple whistleblower lawsuits filed under the Federal False Claims Act alleging unnecessary medical procedures. Catholic Priest John Corapi, Joseph Zerga and Redding physician Patrick Campbell split 15% of the total $62.55 million settlement. Tenet had already agreed to pay $54 million in 2003 to settle the federal case without admitting any wrongdoing but with an agreement for new oversight procedures for physicians and staff. In 2004, Tenet established a $395 million fund for 769 cardiac patients to settle civil suits relating to procedures performed by Moon and Realyvasquez. There was evidence that Prime Healthcare Services engaged in upcoding elderly patients to malnutrition. At Shasta Regional Medical Center, Prime reported 16.1% of their Medicare patients suffered from kwashiorkor. The state of California average for Medicare patients is 0.2% suffering from kwashiorkor. Prime Healthcare Services was investigated for Medicare fraud by United States Department of Health and Human Services and the California Department of Justice. In 2013, SRMC agreed to a settlement regarding claims of HIPAA violations when 2 senior leaders met with a reporter to discuss medical services provided to a patient. In 2021, Prime Healthcare & 2 doctors agreed to pay $37.5 Million to settle allegations of violations of the California False Claims Act.

Streetcar Depot, West Los Angeles

The Sawtelle Streetcar Depot is located on the grounds of the Sawtelle Veterans Home in Sawtelle, in the Westside area of Los Angeles, California. The depot was designed by J. Lee Burton in 1900, in conjunction with the nearby Wadsworth Chapel also on the Veterans Home campus. Both were listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. History This station was the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad terminus of the Soldiers' Home Line, a short extension of the Santa Monica Air Line to the Sawtelle Veterans Home. The depot also served the Balloon Route. The extension started at the present-day Expo / Sepulveda station on the E Line (Los Angeles Metro) and continued north on the western side of Sepulveda Boulevard to the depot. Passenger service to the station ended around July 1920. The line was maintained and operational — but seldom used — until the entire Air Line was abandoned. After closure the right-of-way was initially kept intact, but eventually sold off in piecemeal for various building developments, making any future restoration prohibitively expensive. Design The wooden building was designed in the Victorian Eastlake Movement style by J. Lee Burton, and completed in 1900. It is similar to another still-standing structure of the Air Line, the Palms-Southern Pacific Railroad Depot.

Humboldt Bank Building

The Humboldt Bank Building is a 19-floor Beaux-Arts office building at 785 Market Street and Fourth Street in San Francisco, California. It was created by the Humboldt Savings Bank, with construction beginning in 1905, derailed with the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and then constructed again from 1907 to 1908. The architects were Frederick Herman Meyer and Micheal Smith O'Brien. The building consists granite, marble, and terra cotta tile facing over reinforced concrete and steel. On October 17, 2024 it was announced that the building would be converted into apartments. History The Humboldt Bank was organized in 1869. It was originally located at 4 Kearny Street, and then moved to 16 Geary Street. That property was sold in 1905 and they moved to 785 Market Street, and at that site they commissioned a new building. The architect of the building, Fredrick Herman Meyer, constructed a new building in the Beaux-Arts style to mimic the then-called Call Tower. Construction of the Humboldt Bank Building was already underway by the time of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and was derailed. Following this, the planned structure of the building was significantly changed and safety features were installed in the building, making use of the blank slate opportunity, such as a steel frame of lattice girders, one of the first in the city. Originally, the building was to be clad in stone from Colusa County, California. However, the fact that the material spalls when exposed to heat made Meyer change the material to terracotta for the main shaft of the building. The exterior windows are formed of wire-glass, another safety measure: it prevents glass from shattering in heat. Meyer also forwent water towers, which shook loose oftentimes in an earthquake, in favor of pneumatic pumps and hoses from a water tank in the basement, keeping the structure safe in case of a fire. The elevators were also subjected to these precautions. They often worked as fire-fueling air columns in the case of a fire. Thus, Meyer lined the shafts of the elevators in concrete and installed heat-detecting automatic doors, which would close in case of fire. The interior was remodeled in 1920 by Smith O'Brien, who added marble and other ornamental details. At the same time, the bank itself mixed into Umpqua Bank, which later merged to Columbia Bank in 2023. On October 17, 2024, a project was underwent to convert the historic structure from commercial office space to residential apartments, launched by Forge Development Partners. It is to become 124 mostly one-bedroom units, with a two-bedroom unit and penthouse, and ground-floor retail. There will be no changes to the exterior facade.
