Brea City Hall Park

Brea City Hall Park, in Brea, California, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

The Brea City Hall, designed by architect Allen Ruott, is combination of Art Deco and Spanish Colonial Revival in styling and was built in 1928.

It included a public library as well as the site for the Brea Police Department and jail.

The site is located near the original Downtown Brea and is one of the city's oldest remaining structures.

An American Legion Hall, built in 1931, is another contributing building in the listing.

The building has been restored and is now home to the Brea Lions Scout Center. The agreement was approved by the City Council in 1994. The City of Brea provided $200,000 and the Brea Lion Scout Foundation added $168,000 for the first phase.

Amenities

A bathhouse and swimming pool and the surrounding park were also all designed by Ruott, as a unit. According to the NRHP nomination, the "use by Ruott in the 1920's of Art Deco/Spanish Revival styling for civic architecture constitutes a major landmark in the small-scale urban environment of Brea and Orange County."

The site has been altered slightly since but much of the structure is still in its original state.

The park, pool and city hall were funded by a $60,000 bond approved by the municipality in an October 1927 special election.

The pool, called the "plunge", is a 25-meter municipal pool and is one of the oldest swimming pools in California still in operation.

New additions have been made since the construction of the original park which include a basketball court, rose garden, and a playground which have been constructed since the 1970s.

History

The Union Oil company purchased 1,200 acred of land in 1894 for the purpose of searching for oil. In 1898 the first oil well was installed and lead to the beginning of the oil boom in the hills of the Brea.

Brea was incorporated in 1917 and then had 732 citizens.

The facilities served, among others, oil field workers and their families who lived in an adjacent neighborhood developed in the 1920s by the Union Oil Company. These home are located to the West of the park and some homes still remain.

The site was intended to be the center of local government in the city until the recent opening of a new City Hall and Community Center along with other civic buildings. The planning and construction of the City Hall and Park took place during the time period of the Chicago World's Fair and influenced city leaders in pushing for civic pride through architecture influenced by the City Beautiful Movement.

Events

The City of Brea hosts the Country Fair every year at City Hall Park and provides a variety of games, food, rides, and live entertainment

A pancake breakfast is held in the morning followed by the fair. Events include a car show, parade, dog show, as well as swimming at the Plunge.

In April 1913, the governing board of Fullerton Union High School approved a motion to establish a two-year postgraduate course of study, at the high school. At this time, Fullerton was primarily an agricultural community, which specialized in the production of citrus produce. That enabled Delbert Brunton, who was the Fullerton High principal, to begin the new Fullerton Junior College, as the means of providing that postgraduate study. Twenty-six freshman students enrolled in that first year, with a curriculum of 10 courses. "In 1922 the college was reorganized as an independent junior college district. After holding classes on the Fullerton Union High School campus for its first 23 years, the college began moving to its own fourteen acre campus next door in 1936.

In 2002, North Orange County voters passed a $239 million facilities bond measure, of which nearly $135 million was allotted to Fullerton College, and was used for renovation of current campus facilities and also to construct new facilities. On June 13, 2005, the new library inside of the LLRC was opened, and a formal dedication occurred on October 28, 2005.The college is now preparing to utilize a new bond measure that passed in 2014 and will award NOCCCD $574 million to fund construction and renovation projects for the next 25 years.

Article Evaluation-Anaheim Convention Center

• Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
  • Since the Convention site hosts several events and the area has been home to several small sports teams, the article often jumped around between talking about the Convention Center and talking about the sports teams which often would distract me.
• Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
  • The article is neutral with its information and is factual. However it does seem biased in favor of the site based on the wording used to describe the conventions as "another large convention was held."
• Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
  • The majority of the viewpoints held were merely explaining the variety of conventions that are held there as there is less information about the history of the development of the site and the area that the site is located on
• Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
  • Looking at the references list there were five citations that did not work. The links did not work very well for being factual but were links to the organizations that held events at the convention center
• Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
  • There were not many informational facts in the article but the ones that were listed did not have a source attached.
• Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
  • The information listed was updated and recent but more information regarding the actual structure of the convention should be included.
• Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
  • There is no discussion in the talk page. The discussion is one of the article editors that is including upstates to the link. The last update was October 2016.
• How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
  • The article is part of WIkiproject Volleyball but has not received a rating. It is also part of Wikiproject College Basketball, Olympics, and California. It is rated Start-class and low importance.
• How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
  • It seems to be similar to the way we have discussed in class. Although there is not much discussion there seems to be an effort with the editor to increased communication between users.
