Casa de la Universidad Audrey Geisel

La Casa de la Universidad Audrey Geisel , históricamente conocida como la Casa William Black , es la residencia privada del Canciller de la Universidad de California en San Diego . Ubicado en La Jolla, California , es un sitio histórico que figura en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos . Está ubicado en 9630 La Jolla Farms Road y tiene vistas a Black's Beach , la reserva costera de Scripps y el océano Pacífico.

La casa fue diseñada por el arquitecto William Lumpkins del movimiento de renacimiento del adobe de Santa Fe, Nuevo México. Fue la primera casa construida en el área de La Jolla Farms y fue diseñada para William H. y Ruth Black, quienes vivieron allí entre 1952 y 1967 en lo que se denomina estilo arquitectónico Pueblo Revival . [3] Luego fue vendido a los Regentes de la Universidad de California y utilizado por los rectores de UC San Diego durante 1967-2004. En 2004, la casa se consideró estructuralmente defectuosa y posteriormente fue desalojada. [4]

Between 2004 and 2012, the house was the subject of numerous controversies stemming from the university's attempts to demolish, sell, and renovate the property. La Jolla residents objected to the sale of what they saw as an important historical artifact. The site is also significant as a location of a prehistoric Native American village; it is "sacred ground to Kumeyaay people."[5] Between 1929 and 2008, the remains of 29 Kumeyaay were found and removed from the site, at least 17 of which were subsequently housed in the San Diego Museum of Man.[4] In 2010, a historically sensitive remodel design by architect Ione R. Stiegler was approved. The renovation included a seismic retrofit and structural, electrical, and plumbing repairs, while avoiding compromising any of the sacred land or ocean views near the original house.[6] The $10 million remodel was completed in 2013 and funded by external gifts, including a $3 million donation by La Jolla resident Audrey Geisel, the widow of Theodor Seuss Geisel. In recognition of her gift, the completed house was renamed the Audrey Geisel University House. Since 2014, the house has served as the official residence of Pradeep K. Khosla, the eighth chancellor of UC San Diego. It is also used for hosting special events and formal university functions.[6]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008 as William Black House—SDM-W-12 Locus A (CA-SDI-4669).[1] The site includes a house built during 1950-52 and a cemetery and the site of a pre-historic village. The listing included one contributing building and one contributing site on 6.9 acres (2.8 ha).[2][1]
