James W. Lunsford The Ocean and the Sunset, The Hills and the Clouds: Looking at Santa Monica, illustrated by Alice N. Lunsford, 1983, 1958, 1938
"6. Santa Monica City Hall, 1685 Main Street, 1938. Designed by architects Donald B. Parkinson and Joseph M. Estep, it was built as a Federal Emergency Public Works project. The colored tiles around the front door are Hermosa tiles made in Santa Monica by The Gladding-McBean Company, once one of the city's largest industries. Since its construction there have been two major additions-the Police Department in 1958, and a third-story attorney's office."
Ocean Park
"60. Joslyn Park, 633 Kensington Road. A two-and-a-half acre Santa Monica City Park built on the former Walter G. McGinley Estate that was purchased by the city in 1958 with funds donated by Marcellus Joslyn. The walls, wrought-iron fence, and major trees are all part of the original McGinley Estate.
"Joslyn, a Westwood manufacturer and philanthropist, was a Santa Monica High School graduate whose family is said to have been in Santa Monica for five generations. Joslyn's grandfather built the first wooden stairs down the Palisades bluff, as well as the landmark Violet Cottage that stood on Third Street near Wilshire for many years. Marcellus Joslyn also contributed the bowling green at Douglas Park and the Senior Recreation Center at Palisades Park, as well as recreational facilities in other cities."
