history 101

The building industry has paid scant attention to where we locate buildings or to the amount of energy used in getting to and

from our buildings—whether they be schools, office buildings, homes, restau-rants, or retail stores. For years, the energy

intensity of a building (energy consumed per square foot per year) has been a useful calculation for evaluating and compar-ing buildings. Unfortunately, there is not a comparable metric for transportation use.

A close approximation can be created using federal government data on com-muting workers: their average distance to work, mode of transportation (76 per-cent single-occupancy vehicle), average fuel economy of vehicles (21 mpg), and building square footage per office worker. This data yields the average energy use for transportation for an office building per square foot of space.

Using these admittedly crude assump-tions, office-building energy use for com-muting averages 121 kBTU/sf/yr. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that the average energy intensity of office build-ings is 93 kBTU/sf/yr. In other words, it takes 30 percent more energy to get to and from our office buildings than the buildings use directly. If we make the same comparison using a new office building that is built and performs to modern energy codes, the transportation

energy use exceeds direct building energy use by more than 200 percent.

During the past few decades, tremen-dous effort has gone into making build-ings more energy efficient but almost no energy to where we locate the buildings, especially in relation to where workers live. Building location, it turns out, has a huge impact on the total energy use. Interestingly, some cities in Australia give tax incentives to businesses that hire workers who live within a mile of the workplace. This simple policy has changed the energy transportation fac-tor significantly.

The above analysis argues strongly for increased emphasis on access to public transit, the walkability of neighborhoods, safe pathways for biking, and zoning changes that permit more mixed-use development. It is encouraging that mil-lennials are starting to break the Ameri-can love affair with the automobile by

opting increasingly for other ways to get around, from Uber and car sharing to bicycling and public transportation. Let’s hope location starts becoming a bigger consideration, too.

The only disappointment I experienced when I visited 790 Mission Oaks Lane last Sunday was that I did not meet the resident cat. Pets are not usually promi-nent features at open houses, but this cat is noteworthy because he was a gift to

the owners from Julia Child. Julia was a frequent visitor, cooking and dining alongside the home’s longtime owner and renowned chef, the late Don “Skip” Skipworth. When Julia passed away, Skip inherited her cat, Minou. Now that Skip has passed away, too, this residence—minus the cat—is on the market, looking for a new chef to enjoy the kitchen and the unique residence that it inhabits.

I’m not sure whether to wax more poetic about the exterior or interior of this magi-cal Mission Canyon home.

Outdoors, I could have spent all afternoon sitting on the stone bench beside the koi pond, watching the colorful fish swim in the sunlight, and listening to the rush of the waterfall as I admired the central rose garden and the bamboo that surrounds and embraces the property. I learned later that Skip was an expert on bamboo, and there are over 35 different varieties used throughout the property’s thoughtful landscaping. There are at least six different outside seating areas on multiple levels, and with varying views, taking advantage of the meandering pathways and lush plantings all over the property. One such area features a hot tub shaded by a pagoda, while another pagoda graces one of several outdoor living rooms. I was drawn magnetically from one level to the next, admiring the details everywhere I turned: garden statuary, tropical palms and ferns, beautiful wooden fencing, and custom lighting fixtures. However, as many details as I noticed, the overall impression is open, simple, and far from cluttered.

Not to be outdone, the interior is just as striking. Entering the main house, one is tempted up the custom mahogany and teak staircase constructed with mortise and tenon craftsmanship. The upstairs holds the master bedroom, bathroom, and an office overlooking the gardens. Back downstairs, there’s a great room encompassing a living and dining room in one grand expanse, with windows, skylights, and sliding doors bringing the greenery inside. On the other side of the wall is the most amazing kitchen you’ve ever seen. In 2007, the home underwent a major remodel, and Viking designed and sponsored the kitchen and culinary area as a teaching space for Skip. He and his partner, Carlos, taught Pan-Asian and French cooking classes over the years for up-and-coming chefs and varied groups of students and friends. The house radiates a warmth reminiscent of the happy, nurturing times spent there.

In addition to the main house, there is a two-bedroom, two-bath guest house and a separate one-bedroom, one-bath “tea house.” The Asian influence is found throughout the entire property, with bamboo flooring, sliding shoji screens, and spare geometric lines. The whole place exudes an ambience of calm and serenity that I car-ried with me down the pathway, past the koi pond, and back out into the real world.

790 Mission Oaks Lane is currently for sale in Santa Barbara, listed by Doug Van Pelt and Thomas Schultheis of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. Reach Doug or Tom at 729-2802.

history 101

Although officially known as Arroyo Burro, this stretch of coastline between Hope Ranch and the Douglas Family Preserve has been called Hendry’s Beach for decades. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, William N. Hendry and family farmed in this area.

A native of Scotland, Hendry was 24 when he set sail for the U.S. out of Liverpool in 1872. It was not an easy passage. Rough seas, seasickness, theft, and fights among the crew and passengers were just some of the problems. Tragedy struck when a young girl stopped eating due to illness; she eventually died and was buried at sea.

After a journey of two months, Hendry arrived in Santa Barbara and went to work for Ellwood Cooper on his Goleta Valley ranch. Hendry worked from sunup to sunset, six to seven days a week. Entries in his journal often just read, “Ploughed all day.”

Eventually Hendry saved enough to lease a piece of ground of his own in an area now occupied by UCSB. In 1881, he married Annie Stronach, also a Scottish immigrant, and three years later he leased over 360 acres at Arroyo Burro, which included Veronica Springs and a good portion of Hope Ranch. Hendry primarily grew hay, oats, and barley, selling much of his yield to stables in Santa Barbara. He later diversified, with lima beans becoming an important crop. One year the family earned around $4,000 just from the bean crop alone.

The Hendrys had 12 children, and the latter often invited friends to swim off the beach at the mouth of the creek; gradually the beach became known as Hendry’s to locals. Around the turn of the century, where the Douglas Family Preserve is today, Chinese farmers raised watermelons.

Hendry retired in 1914, and four years later he sold the farm for $80,000, as his children did not follow their father’s footsteps into farming. The family moved into town to a house at 509 Chapala Street.

A number of William and Annie Hendry’s sons had gone into the blacksmith trade. In 1906, son William bought the business of Harry Hawcroft at 20 West Cota Street, moving it to 25 West Cota in 1915. Eventually four brothers worked in the shop: William, Allan, Bruce, and Nicol. Nicol moved on to start his own blacksmith and machine shop. Another brother, Walter, became a carpenter in Santa Barbara.

Hendry Bros. was a fixture in Santa Barbara until the shop closed its doors for good in 1975. During its run of close to 70 years, the firm adapted to the transition from horse and buggy to automobile as it went from making farm tools, brands, and wagon wheels to fashioning auto and truck springs. Ornamental ironwork also became a lucrative specialty. Among their customers were the Loughhead (Lockheed) brothers, founders of the aviation firm.

As for the beach, 30 years of sporadic negotiations with the county came to an end in 1947. For $15,000, Santa Barbara County purchased, with state help, five and a half acres with 500 feet of oceanfront at the mouth of Arroyo Burro Creek for a park. An additional 100 feet of beach was deeded over to the county as a gift. Today, Arroyo Burro County Park, aka, Hendry’s Beach, is one of the most popular beaches on the South Coast.

In the 1860s, the section of land encompassing the 1400 block of De la Vina

Street belonged to J.E. Goux, a prominent merchant who was involved with many real estate transactions.

Between 1869 and 1886, the land ownership was held by H.G. Crane, who was employed as a lawyer and a justice of the peace. During his tenure, it was believed that Crane retained the noted Santa Barbara architect Peter J. Barber to design and build a Victorian-Italianate-style home.

In the mid-1890s, the residence was purchased by the Hoover family, of which E.B. Hoover was principal of the Santa Barbara Business College, located at West Arrellaga and Anacapa streets.

In 1902, Mary Wright and her relatives acquired and converted the property into a boarding facility known as De la Vina House. As its popularity grew, the property became an informal gathering place for employees of the Flying A Studios, located a few blocks uptown on West Mission Street. Its most identifying feature is the “Flying A Boarding House” sign that hangs from the front porch.

The Wright family maintained the domicile until 1930, and various landlords have owned the De la Vina House since then, with each proprietor protecting the home’s original architectural character. A fire broke out in an apartment complex on the same lot in 2011 but did not affect the historic structure. Today, with 16 units inside, the De la Vina House continues to be one of the longest-operating apartment buildings in Santa Barbara.

Original Owner: H.G. Crane

Year of Construction: 1875

Architect: Peter J. Barber (attributed)
