Acquisition Information Gift of James Keane, 2002 (acccession number 2002.17) 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.

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.

Scope and Content of Collection This collection's holdings include copies of Keane's manuscript and his typewritten research notes, newspaper clippings, flyers and brochures, taped interviews and photographs. Items of particular interest include Keane's manuscript with editorial comments, photocopies of newspaper clippings regarding the life of Fritz Burns and news items regarding Los Angles City Housing Authority official Frank Wilkinson, who was fired in 1952, after refusing to answer questions from the California State Un-American Activities Committee.

The materials in this collection range in date from 1923 to 2001; however, the bulk of the collection dates from 2000 to 2001. The collection contains twenty-two micro-cassette tapes of interviews recorded during Keane's research for the book. Please note that the Research Collection lacks a machine capable of playing them.
