Walk a little farther north past George’s at the Cove and you’ll be treated to a clear vista of rolling ocean waves between buildings. Construction equipment partially blocks the view on the dirt lot at 1270 Prospect St., where the Chart House steak restaurant once stood until it was mostly demolished in December. The skeleton of the entranceway remains. In the southern corner of the lot stands a boarded-up fireplace, which is significant because it once stood in Anna Held’s wooden cottage, one of 12 cottages that comprised the Green Dragon Colony of artists and musicians Held had attracted to the seaside village in the late 1800s. Originally from Germany, Held performed on stages in London. A beam from Held’s house inscribed with the translated German phrase, “Sacred is my hearth, sacred is my house,” will also be incorporated into the new construction, which is underway once again. “The Green Dragon Colony was certainly a very important part of La Jolla’s early history,” said Carol Olten, historian at the La Jolla Historical Society. “The fact that we do have this one existing chimney left from Anna Held’s fireplace is important to the continuation of the history of La Jolla. So it’s extremely important, of course, that we preserve these sort of elements in our history.” Most of Held’s house was torn down in 1971, when the Chart House moved into the new building, designed by architect Kendrick Kellogg. The architect is famous for the “Lotus House” in La Jolla whose roof is in the shape of a lotus. Landry’s Inc., which owns the Chart House chain restaurant, had started remodeling the building in 2004 but then stopped paying rent. Following a lengthy lawsuit, Landry’s Inc. will now continue the remodel. A new tenant for the building has not yet been found. RMS Construction, which is building the shell of the new building in wood and glass to match the surrounding buildings, will add two outdoor patios to take advantage of the stunning view.
