This report presents results of historical and archaeological investigations at the site of Fish Camp Kushimoto no Kyampu, the home of Japanese immigrant fishing families during the early 20th century. Historical and archaeological evidence indicate that the people who lived at Fish Camp Kushimoto no Kyampu were not transient immigrant laborers who came temporarily to the United States. They established businesses, married, raised families, and made their homes in America. In doing this they lived in and negotiated between two worlds: their traditional Japanese culture and the every day realities of survival in early 20th century Southern California. The blending of these worlds and the creation of a Japanese-American identity is seen in both the historical and archaeological evidence gathered for this report. They were Japanese-Americans, who have left a legacy in the local community.
To Answer a Need: The History, Significance, and Future of Southern California Women's Clubs
"To Answer a Need" distinguishes the women’s club house typology and relates the history of the Women's Club Movement, specifically examining Southern California clubhouses erected during and after the Progressive Era. As women’s club houses are important and rare sites of women's collective history this thesis offers strategies for the appropriate and sensitive reuse of such properties. Their distinctive architectural features and siting make them an advantageous property for many specific reuse projects, and the prevalence of historically designated women’s clubs offers the possibility of redevelopment funded in part with historic tax credits. Through the end of the nineteenth to the middle of the twentieth century, women's clubs created the environment for activities which changed women’s status, abilities, and opportunities in the 20th century. Clubhouses were designed wholly or in part as “gendered” space which by décor, layout, and functionality gives power to the women working within its walls. Spaces were also gendered female by the manner in which they were used: by and for women, for purposes important to women as a social and political group. These buildings vary in size and lavishness but are frequently designated historic at some level. They were often the work of a great architect; for reasons unique to the women’s club phenomena many retain remarkable integrity; and each is a physical monument to a significant pattern in history--the change wrought upon American society as women improved themselves, asserted their rights, and fought to become an active and recognized part of society. Clubs’ success in integrating women into public culture has rendered the separate women’s organization somewhat obsolete. Clubs are rapidly closing their doors forever, and the question of how to best preserve this physical reminder of women’s history is becoming an urgent issue. Concepts for woman-centric but viable re-utilization of these gendered spaces are herein described.
