'Complete surprise': Walter Munk's daughter contradicts widow over proposal to designate his home as historic


Print
The proposed historic designation of the La Jolla Shores home of late oceanographer Walter Munk has raised objections from his daughter Kendall, who says he did not want such a designation and that renovations have made the home “not a historical structure.”
The home, called Seiche (a standing wave oscillating in a body of water), was built by Munk, renowned for his research at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and his second wife, Judith, who died in 2006.
Munk decided in 2014 to donate the home to UCSD. His third wife and widow, Mary Coakley Munk, lived there until February as part of a two-year tenancy that began after Walter Munk’s death in 2019. ....

San Antonio City Council members were generally pleased with recent changes to the multi-million-dollar Alamo Plaza makeover plan, but several raised concerns about costs, street closures and free-speech access to the historic mission and battle site in the heart of downtown.
“I think the team has done great work in putting this back together,” said Councilman John Courage, one of two council members who criticized a previous plan that would have relocated the Cenotaph and voted against the city leasing part of the plaza to the state in 2018. ....

A group of preservationists, armed with passion, history and a determination to preserve the special place they call home, has applied to establish a historic district on the West Side.
It will be the second in that part of town, after the Rinconito de Esperanza Historic District, which is evolving into an arts enclave off Guadalupe Street.
The proposed Buena Vista Historic District, an eastbound corridor that cuts through the West Side, has immense historic value.
It’s where refugees from the Mexican Revolution landed at the turn of the last century, changing the course of San Antonio’s destiny. It’s where working-class Mexican Americans began pursuing their American dreams, aspirations they achieved in second and third generations. ....

A year after Magna earthquake, what should Utahns do to prepare for the big one?


| Updated: 2:07 p.m.
Kelly Dazet was home, fixing himself a cup of coffee, when a roar like a passing freight train filled his Sugar House neighborhood.
“All of a sudden everything was moving. It felt like the house was going back and forth and up and down,” Dazet said, recalling the magnitude 5.7 earthquake that rocked northern Utah a year ago this month. “The cat ran under the table. How does a cat know to do that? Everything was rattling and shaking.”
Among the jarring that morning was the unreinforced masonry enveloping Dazet’s 1924 home, an example of Salt Lake City’s dominant construction mode from that era. ....
