They were then returned to Loyola Marymount University in 1996. Biography / Administrative History Fritz Bernard Burns (1899-1979), born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was a powerful real estate developer in Southern California. As vice-president of Dickenson & Gillepsie real estate firm in Los Angeles in the 1920s, he oversaw the development of Palisades Del Rey (now Play Del Rey). With partner F. W. Marlow, he was involved in the development of Westchester, Windsor Hills, Panorama City, parts of North Hollywood and other areas in Los Angeles. Such projects made him a prominent developer in Los Angeles and a leader in the development of mass-produced housing, resulting in community development and the notion of middle class ownership of homes as a way of life. He was, consequently, a leading civic figure in the city. Burns was also a major philanthropic benefactor to Roman Catholic institutions, including Loyola Marymount University and Aquinas College. Burns was President of the Home Builders Association of Los Angeles in 1942 and of the National Association of Home Builders in 1945. Chronology 1899 Born Fritz Bernard Burns, Minneapolis, Minnesota 1916-1932 Salesman, sales manager, and executive vice president, Dickinson & Gillespie Corporation. Responsible for the development of Palisades del Rey, a beachfront area of Los Angeles County. 1924 Marries Lucille Robinson, whom he divorced in 1927. The couple has one son, Fritz Patrick Burns (1925-1980). 1937-1944 General partner with F. W.

Also the two partners develop properties in Hawaii. 1955 Burns receives "Man of Achievement" award from the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. 1960-1979 CEO, Fritz B. Burns and Associates. Partner in development of hotels and shopping centers in the Los Angeles area. 1979 Death of Fritz B. Burns. Scope and Content of Collection The Fritz Burns Papers (CSLA-4) especially cover Burns's early career and his involvement in the development of Palisades Del Rey (now part of Marina del Rey). There are also substantial holdings on his partnership with F. W. Marlow, which devleoped parts of West Los Angeles. Thus, the collection provides excellent resources for the study of the development of real estate and communities in Los Angeles. Materials in the collection include business correspondence and records, newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, and photographs, which are especially rich in documenting development in Los Angeles from the 1920s through the 1950s. Of interest are the notes for talks that Fritz Burns and his partner F. W. Marlow gave at morning sales meetings (1941-1942); newspaper clippings about public housing, and photographs of Burns and others and some of his projects.
