Co., Ltd. Redondo Beach in 1929Redondo Beach Los Angeles Co. Cal., produced by the Sanborn Map Company in 1916 and extensively updated in September 1929, provides a detailed mapping of Redondo Beach during the early 20th century - particularly as a document of the massively changing urban landscape between 1916 and 1929. This fire insurance atlas, comprising 19 sheets, was originally made as a specialized tool for insurance company underwriters in determining the degree of fire risk associated with any property shown therein. It offers rich visual insight into the built environment of the city, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the area's urban evolution at a time when automobile-focused infrastructure systems began to dominate the Southland.In the 1920s, Redondo Beach emerged as a quintessential seaside destination along the Pacific coast. Located southwest of Los Angeles, it transformed from its earlier reputation as a bustling port to a recreational haven. The decade saw the construction of the opulent Hotel Redondo, which became a magnet for tourists and Hollywood elite seeking sun, surf, and relaxation. The city's iconic pier, already an attraction since the late 1800s, was frequented by anglers, tourists, and locals alike. As the Jazz Age unfolded, Redondo Beach's sandy shores, dance pavilions, and oceanfront attractions encapsulated the era's penchant for leisure and pleasure, mirroring the Roaring Twenties' broader cultural zeitgeist.The atlas encompasses a breadth of information, ranging from the prevailing western winds to the intricacies of the city's water supply system maintained by the California Water Service Company. The gravity system for water distribution is documented alongside the complex framework of the fire department. This department was composed of both volunteer and full-time personnel. The atlas also provides insights into building classifications, indicating materials used in construction and their fire-resistance capabilities. The color-coding system categorizes structures based on their construction material, aiding in the identification of fire risks. Such detailed annotations underline the importance of safety standards during that era.A selection of the structures depicted include the following:Associated Oil CompanyBeryl Heights Public SchoolCentral Public SchoolSouth Public SchoolThe CasinoHotel RedondoHotel CliftonSea Gull Inn CafeMontgomery & Mullin Lumber Co.Redondo Beach Bath HouseRedondo Motor Car CompanySouthern California Edison Co. facilities.
