A dingbat apartment in southern California
A dingbat (also called a stucco box or a shoebox), is a type of architecturally undistinguished apartment building that flourished in the Sun Belt region of the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. Dingbats are boxy, two- or three-story apartment houses with overhangs sheltering street-front parking. The elevation view of a dingbat is “half parking structure, half dumb box.”
Particularly popular in southern California, but also found in Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada and Vancouver they are known for their downmarket status and inexpensive rents. They are currently experiencing a minor sentimental renaissance thanks to the mid-century modern design return to vogue. In spite of their serviceability as functional, affordable housing, and the niche appeal of their trappings and trim, dingbats are widely reviled as socially alienating visual blights; California historian Leonard Pitt said of them, “The dingbat typifies Los Angeles apartment architecture at its worst.”
Name
The origin of the term dingbat is much debated; the only thing known for sure is that the appellation arrived after the buildings themselves. The first textual reference was made by Reyner Banham in Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies (1971); he credits the coining to architect Francis Ventre and describes them.
“…[Dingbats] are normally a two-story walk-up apartment-block developed back over the full depth of the site, built of wood and stuccoed over. These are the materials that Rudolf Schindler and others used to build the first modern architecture in Los Angeles, and the dingbat, left to its own devices, often exhibits the basic characteristics of a primitive modern architecture. Round the back, away from the public gaze, they display simple rectangular forms and flush smooth surfaces, skinny steel columns and simple boxed balconies, and extensive overhangs to shelter four or five cars…”
The word is sometimes said to reference dingbat in the sense of a “general term of disparagement,” referring to either the flawed buildings themselves or the builders or even the residents. For example, one online architecture dictionary says, “They were called dingbat houses because of the quick and shoddy way they were constructed.” However, it is generally believed dingbat refers to the stylistic flourishes ( la typographic dingbats) that often garnish the stucco fa?ades.
History
In a 1998 Los Angeles Times editorial about the area’s evolving standards for development, the birth of the dingbat is retold (as a cautionary tale): “By mid-century, a development-driven southern California was in full stride, paving its bean fields, leveling mountaintops, draining waterways and filling in wetlands…In our rush to build we tolerated monumentally careless and unattractive urban design…Some of it [was] awfultart with the ‘dingbat’ apartment house, a boxy two-story walk-up with sheltered parking at street level and not one inch of outdoor space.”
Geographer Barbara Rubin writes that since the existing housing stock of California bungalows, Mediterranean-style small houses, Spanish Colonial Revival duplexes and aging Victorians was insufficient, “a compromise capable of accommodating a marked increase in density, yet human in scale, and economical to construct, evolved by the early 1950s.” This was the dingbat.
Dingbats were appealing to the real-estate trifecta of builders, landlords and renters:
Developers fostered the cookie-cutter, straight-line approach to building because simplicity and repetition held down costs, allowed economies of scale and required much less skilled labor than would curvier or more creative buildings. No one developer bears the ignominy of promoting the dingbat. Instead, stucco boxes were an architectural meme of their time, one that was simple enough for a large number of contractors to replicate wherever the opportunity presented itself.
Land owners profited if they invested in the new apartment style and replaced one or two streams of rental income with triple or quadruple the number of monthly rent checks.
Since each unit typically had a private entrance, stucco boxes offered an affordable, bite-size taste of the American Dream to up-and-coming city dwellers who aspired to owning a detached, single-family home, and with on-site parking, dingbats paid proper homage to the significance of car culture in post-war American life.
Rubin continues, “Inserted into empty lots or replacing the [existing] residential stock, the dingbat [was] a remarkably successfully transitional solution, the…(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about Vintage Style Jewelry, jade necklaces, .
