Homeless Housing



The Seattle Times

In Olympia, homeless campers moved from a nomadic tent city to a low-cost community of 144-square-foot rental houses.

Why the 2.1-acre, $3 million real-estate development may become a template for homeless housing projects across the country:

Air Travel

Clipper passengers took their meals at real tables, not their seats. For most travelers in the 21st century, flying is a dreary experience, full of inconvenience, indignity, and discomfort.

That wasn't the case in the late 1930s, when those with the money to afford trans-oceanic flight got to take the Boeing Model 314, better known as the Clipper. Even Franklin Roosevelt used the plane, celebrating his 61st birthday on board.

Between 1938 and 1941, Boeing built 12 of the jumbo planes for Pan American World Airways.
The 314 offered a range of 3,500 miles — enough to cross either the Atlantic or Pacific —and room for 74 passengers onboard.
Of course, modern aviation offers an amazing first class experience (and it's a whole lot safer), but nothing in the air today matches the romanticism of crossing the ocean in the famed Clipper.
Thanks to the Pan Am Historical Foundation for sharing its photos. The foundation is currently working on a documentary about Pan American World Airways and the adventure of the flying boat age. Find out more here.

The Model 314's nickname Clipper came from an especially fast type of sailing ship, used in the 19th century.

The Model                                                             314's nickname                                                             Clipper came                                                             from an                                                             especially                                                             fast type of                                                             sailing ship,                                                             used in the                                                             19th century.

The ship analogy was appropriate, as the Clipper landed on the water, not runways.

The ship                                                             analogy was                                                             appropriate,                                                             as the Clipper                                                             landed on the                                                             water, not                                                             runways.

On Pan Am flights, passengers had access to dressing rooms and a dining salon that could be converted into a lounge or bridal suite.

On Pan Am                                                             flights,                                                             passengers had                                                             access to                                                             dressing rooms                                                             and a dining                                                             salon that                                                             could be                                                             converted into                                                             a lounge or                                                             bridal suite.

If you want to sit at a table to eat with other people these days, you have to fly in a private jet.

There was room for a crew of 10 to serve as many as 74 passengers.

Unlike some modern jets that come with joysticks, the Clipper had controls that resembled car steering wheels.

The Quaint Plans for American Cities


The Quaint Plans for American Cities, as We Envisioned Them 200 Years Ago

Charles O. Paullin and John K. Wright produced an Atlas of the Historical Geography of the United States in 1932 that remains, 80 years later, one of the most definitive collections of maps (many of them innovative in their time) from early U.S. history. The tome, which took years to produce, contained about 700 maps. There's one showing the reach of colonial towns in 1650, another illustrating the geography of Lutheran churches in America in 1860, and another depicting the results of a Congressional vote in 1845 on whether or not to annex Texas (the yea's overwhelmingly had it).
Just before the holidays, the University of Richmond’s Digital Scholarship Lab unveiled an ambitious project bringing the entire collection online, complete with the kind of digital enhancements that were never available in Paullin and Wright's day. The old paper maps have been geo-rectified so that they can be viewed atop digital maps. The atlas contains several series of maps across the years, which have now been animated. In one, you can watch the center of the U.S. population migrate from 1790 to 1930 (in the 1920s, the center of America's urban population was located in western Ohio).
As you might imagine, the newly accessible collection is full of arcane trivia about American exports in the 1790s, but also a wealth of knowledge about the early growth of U.S. cities, and what their first planners had in mind for them. One particularly delightful chapter is devoted to the "plans of cities" – all of them, of necessity, from the East Coast – dating back to as early as 1775.
In the digital version, these maps can now be overlaid atop modern views of what these cities became. In retrospect, the initial scope of the 1776 plan for New York City looks downright quaint:
This map of Baltimore in 1801 illustrates both the startlingly different scales of the city two centuries apart and the evolving ways we depict it: Some time in the interim, we ditched the flowery cursive script, the bald eagle emblems and the stippled farmland.
Here is tiny Philadelphia, in 1776:
And a closer look:

Painted Lady Plays in Peoria



From the Facebook Page  facebook.com/stevenstreight


Steven Edward Streight
Wow, did I spark a firestorm of controversy when I posted this photo of the Painted Lady style American 4 Square home on University on the Peoria Historical Society FB page. Most of the comments were praising the house for it's fantastic "Easter Egg" colors. But some people said it was "gaudy" and the neighborhood association should do something to stop it.

See details from my conversation with owner Gary Morris -- below.

I love this house and it always catches my eye. I took this photo yesterday as I walked home from a Peoria Historical Society trustees meeting.

I spoke to the current owner, an attorney named Gary Morris, on the phone tonight.

He provided the following details:

* It was built in 1913 as an American 4 Square and he added Victorian ornaments.

* Gary bought it in 1980 and started painting it in the authentic San Fransisco "Painted Lady" style in 1990. He had seen such houses in San Fransisco and studied books on the Painted Lady style. The house was run down and an eyesore when Gary purchased it.

* No complaints from neighbors about his paint job, who love to use this house as a landmark when telling people how to get to their homes.

* No complaints from the city about what he has done to the exterior painting.

* The only vandalism that has occurred was once some Bradley students moved his concrete lions about 2 blocks down the road, but had to quit due to how heavy they are.

* Nothing that unusual on the interior, aside from a room with red walls. A mural was painted on the dining room wall, but was ruined when the previous owners installed paneling.

* The family that owned it previous to Gary had installed avocado shag carpet and paneling that he removed. They loved the shag carpet so much, they went wild with it and even nailed some around the windows. There were many odd attempts to make it look modern for the 1960s era on the inside.

* A guy who owned multiple businesses in Peoria, which all failed, once operated Peoria's first Muzak business from the basement. There were 7 phone lines coming in and all kinds of tape recorders.

* The guy who previously lived there also bought a famous Peoria candy business, a white chocolate with cherry filling, and it went bankrupt in 2 to 3 years.

* It is in the East Uplands neighborhood, which was, according to Gary Morris, the first Peoria subdivision to have paved driveways and sidewalks for the homes.

* In the East Uplands, many of the homes were built in pairs. Gary was not sure of the name of the builder.

* Gary also owns a building in Pekin, across from the court house, which is an alcohol treatment center, next to a junk store, then Hamm's Furniture. His building has an intricate tin ceiling and is a true Victorian building, built in 1870. Gary says in all the buildings in downtown Pekin, nobody uses the 2nd floors, which are not connected to the first floors, you have to go outside and use an exterior stairway to get to the 2nd floor. They have screen doors because before air conditioning, the 2nd floor would get very hot.

* Gary Morris is the President of the West Bluff Grand Tour, the oldest tour of Peoria's older homes. It occurs the third week of May.

  • Steven Edward Streight Yes. From what I hear, there were many homes painted "fantastically" in the Victorian period. I don't know much about architecture or house painting, but this house reminds me of what I might see in Switzerland. It seems "Swiss" to me for some reason.

  • Diane M. Vespa "In addition to all the other decorative elements, the Victorians also painted their Queen Annes in a rainbow of colors. The fashion at that time was fairly dark colors, along the lines of what we today would call "Earth tones" — sienna red, hunter green, burnt yellow, muddy brown, etc. (The house shown here is beautifully painted in authentic Victorian colors; there is a larger photo of it in the Galena gallery.)"
