PREPARED FOR THE CITY TO CREATE A RECORD OF THE HISTORIC BUILDING PRIOR TO BUILDING’S DEMOLITION.

SUMMARY:

Single family home built circa 1945 with a twocar detached garage. The exterior style resembles the Ranch style popularized in the midcentury in California. Defining features of this style reflected here Include, close-to-ground profile, long low roof line, asymmetrical rectangular shape, door opening to a patio, Mixed exterior materials of stucco and brick, and a side gabled roof. This deviated from the traditional ranch Style by having a detached garage instead of an attached garage.

The primary finish material on the house is an off-white cement plaster, the door material is wood and Metal, the windows appear to be wood framed and may be original, and the trim is a brown painted wood. The primary finish material on the garage the same as the residence, an off-white cement plaster. The house and garage are both of wood frame construction. Both structures originally had wood shingle or Shake roofs that have since been replaced with asphalt shingle. It is clear the exterior of the house has Been maintained and is in apparently good condition with few alterations. It appears that there was a later Addition to the west side of the garage. It appears that a covered patio was later walled in. This is apparent From the exposed columns that can be presumed to have been a patio’s roof supports (see figure 10). This Addition has been completed in similar materials and finishes as the existing structures and it has been Concluded that it was most likely completed within the period of significance, circa 1965.
