Lutah Maria Riggs: Baer house (Lompoc, Calif.)
The alterations to the Herman Baer house in rural Lompoc show the modern style of architecture that Riggs was moving towards in the late 1940s. A marked departure from her Spanish Colonial Revival work of the 20s, this house shows her growth as an architect and ability to adapt to changing needs of her clients.

Lutah Maria Riggs: Berkey house (Carpenteria, Calif.)
The beach house for Peter Berkey III, a former Air Force pilot, sits oceanside along Padaro Lane with an unobstructed view of the Pacific. The siting of the house on a small rise allows for unobstructed views of the mountains to the north as well.
Lutah Maria Riggs, architect Richard Fish, photographer
Lutah Maria Riggs: Black house (Montecito, Calif.)
This house, on San Ysidro Lane in Montecito, for G. Palmer and Louise Black was the second one designed by Riggs for the couple. An earlier house was on Greene Lane in Santa Barbara.
Lutah Maria Riggs: Colville house (Isla Vista, Calif.)
In 1954, the University of California opened a new campus on a former Marine Air Base, about ten miles west of Santa Barbara. This sparsely populated area, called Isla Vista, did not have the housing or infrastructure to support the influx of students, faculty, and staff. This small ocean-side house for Physical Education department faculty member Francis Colville is a two-bedroom, one bath modern house on Del Playa Drive. It is on the far west side of Isla Vista, since the properties closer to campus were zoned for multiple units to house students.
Lutah Maria Riggs: Erdman house (Montecito, Calif.)
The Erdman estate of approximately 3 acres, is located in the Birnam Woods area of Montecito and features views of the mountains. The long driveway leads to a large motor court; a separate outdoor area includes a large pool and garden. The low, flat roof and post-and-beam style exterior are stylistically very modern and streamlined.
Montecito, Calif.; Santa Barbara, Calif.
Lutah Maria Riggs: Erving house (Montecito, Calif.)
With the Erving house in Montecito, the goal was to provide privacy for the owner and a view up towards the mountains and down to the ocean. Riggs achieved this by designing a large triangular wall of glass facing north (towards the mountains) and a similar, but smaller wall of glass facing south, with a large roof overhang, to protect the interior of the house from direct sunlight. A large fireplace divides the main room into living and dining without blocking the views in either direction.
Lutah Maria Riggs: Jefferson card room (Montecito, Calif.)
Mr and Mrs Percival Jefferson owned the 1916 Reginald Johnson-designed house, Miraflores. After her death in 1950, Mr.s Jefferson's friend and secretary, Helen Marso, donated the house and grounds to begin the Music Academy of the West.
Lutah Maria Riggs: Kiler house (Montecito, Calif.)
The house for Leslie Kiler and family overlooks the Santa Ynez mountain range, which rises from the oak-covered hills of Montecito. With simple, clean lines, the house is clad in redwood and features a 10 foot ceiling in the living room, which lines up and frames the view of the mountains. Riggs gave the living room and dining room a wall of windows facing the view, as well as extended the eaves for an overhang to partially shelter an outdoor dining area.
Lutah Maria Riggs: Ludington house (Montecito, Calif.)
This house, built for art collector Wright Ludington, was his second house in Montecito. For this house, Ludington wanted to showcase his art collection and commissioned Riggs to create a house around his art and sculpture.
Lutah Maria Riggs: Nelson medical offices (Santa Barbara, Calif.)
This medical office building was one of three commissions by dermatologist Lawrence Nelson. It is a typical small medical office building, with parking in the rear of the property, and access from the street. The present occupants of the building are a local architecture firm.
Lutah Maria Riggs: Riggs house (Montecito, Calif.)
Riggs designed this house on Middle Road in Montecito for herself in the mid-twenties; she lived there until her death in 1984. The house, named Clavelitos or "little carnation," contained two bedrooms, ample outdoor space, and large fireplaces. The Spanish Colonial Revival style was championed by George Washington Smith, who was Riggs' mentor; she worked for Smith up until his death in 1930.

Lutah Maria Riggs: San Ysidro Ranch cottages (Montecito, Calif.)
Lutah Maria Riggs' work at the San Ysidro Ranch in the early 1950s is indicative of her work in Montecito at that time. She utilized the mid-century vernacular for her additions and alterations to the cottages, restaurant, and on-site manager's office and apartment. The Ranch itself was originally a working ranch that was part of the Santa Barbara Mission. One of it's buildings is an adobe house dating from 1825. Once the property became a hotel in the 1880s, it became a site for Hollywood elite to stay from the 1930s until the 1970s.
Lutah Maria Riggs: Santa Barbara Botanic Garden library (Santa Barbara,Calif.)
The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden was started in 1926 as a partnership between the Carnegie Institution and the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, with land in Mission Canyon donated by Anna Dorinda Bliss. The Garden grew from the initial 13 acres, up to 78 acres today, and is filled with native and regional plants. In 1942, space was needed for the growing library of books on horticulture in the Garden's collection. Riggs was commissioned to design a structure for education and research named the Blaksley Library. The exterior courtyard was a collaboration between Riggs and landscape architect Beatrix Farrand. Additional landscape designs in the garden were created by Lockwood de Forest and Elizabeth de Forest.

Lutah Maria Riggs: Suski building alterations (Santa Barbara, Calif.)
The large, multi-story commercial and retail building on State Street in downtown Santa Barbara had exterior alterations by Riggs. The T.C. Suski Building was a Joseph Magnin department store in the 1960s and is currently retail and offices. The building is adjacent to the Casa de la Guerra, the historic adobe dating from the 1820s, and the El Paseo shopping area.

Lutah Maria Riggs: Vedanta Temple (Montecito, Calif.)
Riggs designed the main temple building, as well as the gate house, shrine room, carport, and pavilion on the Vedanta grounds. Riggs studied the architectural forms of China, Japan, and India before building the temple, and applied classic forms to the shape of the building. The temple building is situated in such a way as to provide views south towards the Pacific Ocean, and north to the Santa Ynez mountains.
Lutah Maria Riggs: Von Romberg house (Montecito, Calif.) elevations
The renderings of the exterior, details, and sections of the Von Romberg house also show how the exterior changed as Riggs and Emily Von Romberg worked together to create a house that would suit all involved.

Marine Laboratory-- Marine Science Institute
The beach-side location allows for sea water to be pumped into the building for aquatic experiments, some of which is also distributed to other buildings on campus. Prior to construction of the building, it was noted in the specifications the detrimental effects of sea water on most building materials, and that care should be taken to mitigate the risk of sea water corrosion on the structure. This site was originally used as the water and sewage filtration plant for the Marine Air Base. Wallace Arendt (1917-1975), Glen Mosher (1914-2013?), and Robert Grant (1928-2017) were partners in an architecture firm in Santa Barbara from the mid-1950s until the mid-1970s. They designed many residences in Hope Ranch, Goleta, and Santa Barbara, as well as civic buildings, schools, and commercial buildings. At UCSB, they designed the Marine Science Lab (1964), Music II (1969), UCen I (1966), Library IV (1977), and University House (1964). In the 1980s, the firm changed its name to Grant, Pederson, Phillips and designed the Recreation Center; in the 1990s, the name changed again to Phillips Metsch Sweeney Moore Architects (PMSM) and designed the Psychology East building.

Married Student Housing -- West Campus Housing
A rendering of a design for Married Student Housing (now named West Campus Family Student Housing), at the corner of El Colegio Road and Storke Road. The 250 one- and two- bedroom apartments are grouped into 38 buildings, which are clustered around grassy play areas. A. Quincy Jones (1913-1979) and Fredrick Emmons (1907-1999) were partners in an architectural firm for almost 20 years. Prior to their partnership, they both worked for well-regarded architects: Jones for Paul Revere Williams in Los Angeles, and Emmons for William Wurster in the San Francisco area. Together they designed many housing tracts and commercial buildings throughout California. At UCSB they also designed the Theater and Dance Building/Snidecor Hall (1964), Noble Hall (1959), and Biological Sciences 2 (1969).
A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons, architects
This early plan from Charles Luckman Associates shows a greater density of buildings in the central campus core, with multiple buildings surrounding the central and north quadrangles. Physical and Biological Science buildings are grouped on the east side of campus, along with the Social Sciences. The Humanities, Arts, and Music are in the center of the area, with "Professional Schools" near the western edge, closer to Isla Vista. Large parking lots are scattered throughout campus, though the central area is free from roads and vehicles.

Master Plan- Progressive Development, Stage 1, 1952
This is a copy of an image which shows the layout of Marine Air Base Santa Barbara buildings (in yellow), with the addition of the first two University of California, Santa Barbara College buildings (in red). Roads and parking lots are shown in brown, and the rows of eucalyptus trees are shown in long rows along the roads and boundary with Isla Vista. The two new university buildings, Webb Hall and the original library, would have been under construction at the time this map was made in 1952.
Santa Barbara, Calif.; Goleta, Calif.; Isla Vista, Calif.
The plot plan for the first floor of the Materials Research Lab building shows the intricacies of fitting new buildings into the campus. The original Engineering building is immediately to the south, with an access road, pedestrian and bike paths surrounding the building. The addition of outdoor courtyards and abundant landscaping allow for a relaxing exterior space. The close proximity to other engineering and science buildings facilitates the interdisciplinary nature of much of the research that takes place at MRL.

In the 1980s, the firm changed its name to Grant, Pederson, Phillips and designed the Recreation Center (1994); in the 1990s, the name changed again to Phillips Metsch Sweeney Moore Architects (PMSM) and designed the Psychology East building (2006).
With Cold War hysteria growing, architects, engineers, and designers in the post-World War Two era created small bomb shelters for single families, as well as large-scale underground shelters for entire communities. The Atomville design was specifically for air bases and military installations-- to house personnel and equipment.
Paul László papers, Architecture and Design Collection. Art, Design & Architecture Museum; University of California, Santa Barbara.
These drawings display the level of detail and engineering that was put into designing a bomb shelter for home (backyard) use. The specifications take into account any large-scale shockwaves that might hit the entrance and air vents above ground, and the slope of the ground around the shelter.
Paul Laszlo (1900-1993): Hertz bomb shelter
Rental car company founder John Hertz commissioned Laszlo to build a bomb shelter in the backyard of his Woodland Hills, Calif. ranch, due to Hertz' concern over a possible nuclear attack on the Los Angeles area. Laszlo spent years designing the structure, as well as researching the building codes and discussing the effects of nuclear fallout with experts. According to archival material, Laszlo even tried to witness a nuclear blast through contacting the Office of Civil Defense for permission to travel to a military base. The Hertz shelter was equipped with sleeping areas, kitchen, bathroom, elevator, stairs, and an escape hatch. The Architecture and Design Collection also houses the Roland Coate archive, which includes plans for the Hertz house and bomb shelter addition.

Physical Education Building -- Robertson Gymnasium
A rendering of an aerial view of the Physical Education building. The gym was named after State Senator Alfred W. Robertson, who was instrumental in bringing the UC to Santa Barbara. Originally home to the basketball team, the arena was also a concert venue for acts such as the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, and Bruce Springsteen. “Rob Gym” is still in use today as the venue for men’s volleyball. Additional athletic facilities include Harder Stadium (Edwards & Pitman, 1966), the Events Center/Thunderdome (ELS Design Group, 1980), the Recreation Center (Sasaki Associates/Grant Pedersen Phillips Architects, 1994), and Intercollegiate Athletics (Cannon-Dworsky, 2005).
A rendering of the Psychology Building, looking towards the southeast, from the area at the south end of the Library. This was the first permanent home for the Psychology Department, and was designed as a research facility. The building was also a significant expansion in laboratory space, due to the addition of graduate programs in experimental psychology. The architecture firm of Douglas Honnold (1901-1974) and John Rex (1909-2003) was active as a partnership in the 1950s and 1960s in Los Angeles. They designed many residences and commercial buildings in the LA area, including the Architectural Product’s Research House and the Valley Plaza Tower. They also designed North Hall (1960) at UCSB.
Residence Hall #2 -- Anacapa Residence Hall
A rendering of a two story residence hall, with a one story connecting corridor in the distance. This is the second permanent residence hall built and housed up to 400 male students. It now holds over 600 co-ed students in four L-shaped 2-story wings, with a one-story center connecting area which contains lounges and recreational areas. After a 2013 renovation, the building was certified LEED Gold, for sustainability.
A view of the two eight-story tower residence hall complex. The hall was designed to hold 400 male students in double occupancy rooms, but is now co-ed and a mixture of double and triple occupancy rooms. The single level building connects the two towers and provides an area for lounges, fitness rooms, and laundry facilities. This Charles Luckman Associates design echoes some of the earlier campus vocabulary like the patterned concrete block, dentil moulding, and hipped roof on the one-story section.
A rendering of the view from the southeast, towards the northwest, with the lagoon off to the far left side. Designed by Charles Luckman, the building utilizes some of the design motifs of the earlier campus buildings, and combines some of the later vertical elements into the towers. The one-story entrance gives a sense of humanness to the scale of the towers.
A photograph of a model of San Rafael Hall. The placement of San Rafael Hall on the western edge of the campus, adjacent to Isla Vista, shows the expansion of the on-campus housing beyond the original residence hall cluster. The Carrillo Dining Commons was built (also by Charles Luckman Associates, 1967) adjacent to San Rafael. This residence hall was designed to have small clusters of students living in buildings designed to create small communities, each small section with their own study lounge and bathroom facilities. San Rafael was also designed as the first co-educational residence hall, with separate wings of the buildings for men and women. In addition to a new dining commons, recreational facilities were planned for the lagoon 'island' which included baseball, football, and soccer fields.

Robert Stacy-Judd: Armory (Williston, ND)
The National Guard Armory in Williston, North Dakota was designed by Stacy-Judd with a castle-like tower and turrets on either side of the entrances. The Armory was financed with a combination public, private, State, and National funds, since the community would use the Armory for community gatherings as well as the National Guard.

Robert Stacy-Judd: Atwater bungalows (Los Angeles, Calif.)
The pair of bungalows for Dr. H. Gale Atwater were part of a larger swath of land owned by Atwater along Avon Park Terrace, adjacent to Elysian Park. Atwater had previously built another "Hopi-style" house on the property, and commissioned Stacy-Judd to build two bungalows in the same style. Now referred to as Pueblo-style, the rough-hewn stucco on the exterior is punctuated by protruding downspouts and wooden rafter ends. Spindly balconies and rustic ladders complete the unique properties.
Robert Stacy-Judd: Carey house (Hollywood, Calif.)
The Carey house is a fascinating study of architectural vision versus reality. The rendering of the house is in the "Mayan" style, reminiscent of Stacy-Judd's Aztec Hotel. The photographs of the completed house show a much more subdued and modest Pueblo style stucco-covered abode.

Robert Stacy-Judd: Central Block (Minot, ND)
Robert Stacy-Judd worked for the railroad in England, then moved to the United States and worked for the Great Northern Railroad in North Dakota. After a couple of years, he started his own practice in Minot. The Central Block was originally designed as a six-story building, with shops on the first floor, and apartments above. The client was Dr. H.L. Kermott, a well-known physician. The buildings Stacy-Judd designed in North Dakota, and later in Alberta, Canada were in the local vernacular-- brick, two or three story, and limited ornamentation.
Robert Stacy-Judd: Empire Theater (Edmonton, Alberta)
In 1919, Stacy-Judd moved to Calgary, Alberta, Canada and partnered with architect William B. Major to construct buildings in the rapidly growing area. The Empire Theater and Apartments in Edmonton contained a number of different architectural influences, from a Tudor exterior to an Arts and Crafts inspired lobby. Stacy-Judd had experience designing theaters in England, and he also designed the stage and elaborate auditorium paintings.

Robert Stacy-Judd: First Baptist Church (Ventura, Calif.)
This church building is widely regarded as one of the premier examples of Mayan Revival style architecture. It was declared a city landmark in 1975, and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. The exterior steeple is stepped up with Stacy-Judd's signature triangle shaped accents and windows, which create a sense of verticality to the structure. The architect noted on the bottom of the photograph, "First ecclesiastic example utilizing Ancient Mayan Art Motifs." Stacy-Judd was very much a showman, and was married in the church in 1931.
