Description An account of the resource 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. http://128.111.216.75/files/original/a0c940bd11c9a233485753b4143a3838.jpg 8aa42c43f83ff36db55bf28587d32db0 http://128.111.216.75/files/original/d125d17c406847f9dcefbfadd42bd6ed.jpg a4bec7c339680128bc5258e484483cd0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource 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. http://128.111.216.75/files/original/49f62f301eb39525984d7f792d0aa852.jpg 62925db83db744fbbb3a6c55e5a0cade http://128.111.216.75/files/original/c0a9a9cc02dd9e590f5f4a47e67bdced.jpg febeb703dc1e67b709f3d58dd7fae303 http://128.111.216.75/files/original/d0f6687b20888d223731bc278b6be271.jpg 2976f9e3c87139a84c50588fb2bc97cf Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is on the far west side of Isla Vista, since the properties closer to campus were zoned for multiple units to house students. http://128.111.216.75/files/original/ba3fc7e66b2c1daf4747e152e36cad6d.jpg 565fde764a820dbdcd5d3b98d70c3ab4 http://128.111.216.75/files/original/126ff6e8bd2531f781bfa57730ab06b3.jpg 9935dce7b0f8ea15ca0fedab8e42efd5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
