Los Angeles Times Publishes Special San Gabriel Centennial Section

San Gabriel is a fascinating modern community living up to its motto: 'City with a Mission.'
This special section of the Los Angeles Times traces the history of San Gabriel from the late 1700s when Franciscan Fathers established the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel with help from the local Gabrieleno-Tongva tribe, to the population growth of the early 1900s, to this year and the 100th anniversary of San Gabriel's incorporation.
Written by Amy H. Roberts, the 16-page keepsake, recounts the history of the Mission Play, Grapevine Arbor Park, La Laguna Playground and the success of WHAM-O, which made hula hoops and Frisbees in San Gabriel from the 1950s to the 1980s.
It is a fitting tribute to the community and we hope it inspires you to join us in celebrating our diverse culture and vibrant history.

San Gabriel's Public Library Plays Important Role in City's History

Left: Prior to completion of its current home in 1967, the San Gabriel branch of the Los Angeles County public library was located in this building on Del Mar Avenue.
One of the few services not provided directly by the city to its residents is the public library. San Gabriel's library is a branch of the extensive Los Angeles County library system, and today's Centennial Corner salutes the library as part of February's Centennial focus on community education.
The library was founded in 1915. Early in its history the library was located in the historic Mission Playhouse gift shop building, a part of today's Adult Recreation Center at 324 South Mission Drive.
The library later moved to a location on Del Mar Avenue where it remained until the current San Gabriel branch library opened at Del Mar Avenue and Angeleno Avenue in 1967.
To support the branch, the Friends of the Library was founded in 1967. A historical mural was painted in 1984.
The library recently underwent a total refurbishment, adding an elevator tower, enhanced community room, hi-tech computers, updated technology, new furnishings, a bright and colorful redesign, enhanced parking and landscaping, and an enhanced experience for the reader.
Julie Sorensen is the current Community Library Manager. Today's library includes up to date computers, study carrels, and gracefully updated reading areas. The library also maintains a significant record of San Gabriel reference and historical materials, including ephemera and clipping files going back several decades.
The library is located at 500 South Del Mar Avenue at Angeleno Avenue You can reach the library at 626.287.0761, or learn more at http://www.colapublib.org/libs/sangabriel/index.php.

San Gabriel's Street Names Have Changed Over a Century

The following information was obtained from a June 1887 tract map of East San Gabriel, prepared by J. P. Culver, Civil and Hydraulic Engineer, which was later in the possession of Mary Ruth Hayes. The map was made 26 years before San Gabriel became a city.
It is not known when or why the names of streets were changed, although upon incorporation many cities replaced numbered streets with names, and made other changes to avoid duplication with post office and county records. The East San Gabriel tract map covered the area between Elm on the north and Chestnut on the south, Vista on the east and Del Mar on the west. Name changes before 1913, within the present City of San Gabriel, may be in County records. In an upcoming issue of the Weekly, we'll visit some street name changes made shortly after the City incorporated in 1913.

It's a Mission Play Mystery!

Where Was the Famous Mission Play Sign Located? Our Sleuth Knows

Readers of this space will remember that last week, we shared the photo at left, capturing an image of an illuminated roof sign that directed appreciative visitors to San Gabriel for the famous Mission Play, seen by more than two million people during its more than two-decade run.
Last Thursday evening we shared this remarkable image with Nick Smith, librarian with the Pasadena Public Library and chair of the San Gabriel Valley Civil War Roundtable; we mused over where in downtown Los Angeles this building might have been.
Using clues in the photo, Smith identified the building as the Elden Hotel, located in the 500 block of South Broadway. Smith notes, 'I think this is the building where the sign for the Mission Play was, in 1915. It actually is on Broadway between 5th and 6th…I could have sworn it was on Main, but here it is.' He tracked it down from an image on a website of downtown Los Angeles buildings.

The Mission Play was once one of the most famous tourist attractions in Southern California, with visitors from across the country traveling by rail to San Gabriel to experience both the historic mission and the (then) outdoor spectacle that was known as The Mission Play. The play moved indoors into its sumptuous new home in 1927 following seven years of planning, fundraising and construction.

The Mission Playhouse came to life Tuesday evening as the first stage reading of the fabled Mission Play in 50 years took place on our stage. The event, prelude to a proposed staging for San Gabriel's Centennial, began with a dramatic musical selection on the Mighty Wurlitzer as invited guests were greeted by members of East LA's Classic Theatre along with Playhouse staff. Guests also had an opportunity to view artifacts from the original Mission Play and tour areas of the magnificent Mission Playhouse.
East LA Classic Theatre is partnering with the Playhouse to produce an adaptation of the famous play for the first time in decades.

San Gabriel an Early Participant in Rose Parade

As San Gabriel moves closer to its 2013 Centennial, Council Weekly will feature regular short items regarding San Gabriel's past. This week we focus on the Rose Parade.

Here's San Gabriel's 1958 entry, 'Fisherman's Dream,' as it passes by Carmelita Park, now the site of the Norton Simon Museum.
Now, after a 40 year absence, San Gabriel is planning a triumphant return to the Tournament of Roses on January 1, 2013 in honor of San Gabriel's Centennial. If you are interested in donating to the project, which will be completed without City funding - contact Sponsorship Chairman Mario De La Torre at (626) 308-2803.
