2011 Spring Semester (PDF) - Los Angeles City College

REUSING A LOS ANGELES LANDMARK
The LACCD Van de Kamp innovation Center consists of the restoration adaptive reuse of the historic Van de Kamp’s
Holland Dutch Bakery and the construction of a New Education Building.
Van de Kamp’s was founded in 1915 by Theodore Van de Kamp and Lawrence L. Frank.
Van de Kamp’s Holland Dutch Bakery at 2930 Fletcher Drive in Glassell Park was built in 1931 and designed in the
Dutch Renaissance Revival style by New York architect, J. Edwin Hopkins. The building, known as the “Taj Mahal of
Los Angeles bakeries,” served as the headquarters for Van de Kamp’s chain of bakeries and coffee shops for more
than 75 years.
In 1992, the Bakery was declared a Los Angeles Historical-Cultural monument, Number 569 by the City of Los Angeles.
To preserve historic details, building elements salvaged and rehabilitated include all side façades identified as original
Dutch Renaissance Revival architecture, existing steel framed windows, terracotta roof tiles, the existing timber roof
and vents, metal railings, brick masonry and the original Van de Kamp’s neon sign.
PROMISES KEPT
The LACCD is keeping its promise to provide much-needed educational courses and worker training at the Van de Kamp site. The
multiuse center offers courses toward an associate’s degree or transfer credits, a high school program and workforce development
services.
