Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

In 1956, commemorated by a date inscribed on the new façade, the upper level was reworked with a tall Dutch triangular gable with square spout at the top. By the present, the date has been removed, perhaps to imply the building is as old as it looks, rather than a mid-20th century renovation. The porous borders between Protestant Dutch and Iberian Jewish classical architecture no longer exist as this building appears to be only Dutch.
