Description
Charles H. Cheney was a California educated architect (UC Berkeley, 1905) who helped initiate city planning in California and drafted language for the state's first city planning legislation in 1915. In 1917, as a partner with Hobart & Cheney architects, San Francisco, he designed the "Garden City Project," a proposed planned multi-family group of homes to be located in a garden-like setting in a corner of Visitacion Valley in San Francisco, but mostly located in what is now Daly City, San Mateo County. The Garden City Project wasn't built due to lack of funding. The land in question was later used to build the "Cow Palace," and the Bayshore Heights neighborhood (Daly City) now occupies the most of the rest of the proposed site. Letters, maps, photos, drawings, and diagrams relating to the proposed Garden City Project of Daly City and San Francisco, 1917-1918. Garden City Project. Unrestricted.
