it was a downward trajectory for the confederate flag's comments on our cultural landscape. and that monuments would be next. the events of 2015 and 2017 have hastened this at a breakneck speed the last couple of years. it almost makes you nostalgic for the days before 2015 when you did not hear much about confederate monuments. you've seen this photograph already of the taking down of the flag from the soldiers monument at the state capitol in columbia, south carolina. the first direct impact of the charleston murders. let's not get too nostalgic and -- i amt forget forgetting my own slide sequence. it led to the taking down of other monuments the following year. the years before 2015 were filled with controversies surrounding confederate symbols, specifically the confederate battle flag in the streets of auburn, alabama in the early 1990's, the old south korea's were replete with confederate -- parades were replete with confederate flags. it was settled with the adoption of the new state flag in 2004. what seemed at the time to be the solution to the long-running problem,

and again you just see how the landscape was utterly transformed and still today you see the effects on the french countryside of how the earth was essentially just turned up by this massive bombardment and assive military assault. well of course soldiers have a lot of time not in combat when they're in a military conflict. of course the famous phrase about soldiers of hours and hours of boredom punctuated by minutes of extreme intensity which of course is common in war and there was a lot of time where the troops were behind the lines doing everyday things, eating, washing, resting and we see examples of that here in this section of the exhibition that we call life at the front. and we see some interesting example also of the a.e.f. artwork. here's a picture of a concert in a town square. we see soldiers having lunch here at mess. but perhaps one of the most powerful paintings in this section is another harvey dunn work called off duty. and again, we see the sort of individual experience of the soldier depicted in these two fellows here, one looking at the artist and you can see obv

and the civilians watched as the signs of the war scarred their landscape.er the picture postcard seaside resort. things were restricted. they dug a great many trenches, along the coast, along the sea front, in tynemouth, right through to whitley bay. these trenches had barbed wire around them, so, again, the restrictions would have been in place on going down to the beach. all these things would have given you the great impression that there was a war on, and it was affecting you at home. it's best seen from above — this intelligence photo shows how intricate the trenches were. the germans were wary of approaching the tyne by sea, but they had another means of attack — zeppelins. 0ne raid killed 17 men at the palmer shipyard and was celebrated in enemy propaganda. but the real fear was an invasion force. blythe, just up the northumbrian coast, was a real weak spot. i've got here a classified document that was prepared less than a year before the outbreak of war. and it warns that the germans could invade here and march on the armaments factory on the tyne,

the landscape we discovered. they just see that landscape. one of the points for the americans, early in the morning of september 26. while the germans were fighting on the third line, they were in the forest for several days. this is the french trench for three years. later on will be one of the american starting lines for the beginning of the offensive of 1918. every 30 yards more lesson the -- more or less in the trench we have entrances like this one. it's clearly heading north. north we will find the german trench. they realized they were not able to go over the top. they had the idea to dig in their position. they slowly had the idea under the enemy line. they put explosions and that provoked a mine explosion from a distance. the enemy will see the wounded in the trench and try to close no man's land. to capture the trench. this is no man's land here. if you want to see how small was no man's land, we have the german trench 30 meters from here. we crossed into no man's land, 80 meters wide. now we are inside the german trench, german fi

although it was subdivided, it does retain its landscaped garden setting.designation also meets the third priority which is the designation of buildings located in geographic areas. there are only three individual landmark buildings in this neighborhood. all three buildings are institutional uses. the only other nearby residential landmark is house on 17th street. the property owner is very supportive of designation. the planning commissioners have also been very involved in helping the owner with designation. also supervisor mandelman has expressed his support in a letter that can be found in your packet. we believe that building meets the eligibility requirements and landmark status is warranted. we recommend the h.p.c. recommends designation if recommended today. we will forward the h.p.c. designation to the board of supervisors. this concludes my presentation and i'm happy to answer any questions. >> thank you. do we have any questions for staff? i see there is a very nice significant diagram that shows in red and blue.
