Notes:
1) [p. 243] Annual Assessment of City of Santa Monica, 1887-1907, 1908a
1907 $7,886,310.00
2) In 1907, the property value of the Santa Monica School District totaled $194,000 with an outstanding indebtedness of over $129,000. [25. Annual Report, Santa Monica City Schools, 1906-07, unpublished report in files of Santa Monica Board of Education.] (See Cleland, 1952)
3) The Santa Monica schools are now fully equipped for effective service. Fifty teachers are employed and the attendance for 1907-8 will surpass all previous years. The number of children of school age in May, 1907, was 2,499, 1908a
4) "Concrete was a material to which Gill brought a great sympathy, he liked its plasticity, its durability, and its fitness for the "wholly sanitary house." Since the seventies, reinforced concrete had been employed in small buildings on the West Coast, and in 1889 it was used in the Stanford Museum in Palo Alto.
"Maybeck had tried out reinforced concrete in 1907 in his Lawson house and Maurer studio in Berkeley, and then had returned to wood construction. Gill not only brought architectural conviction to the material but developed a body of detailing which made it accessible for general use." McCoy, 1960
