RE: 2558 Doolittle Avenue, Arcadia.
Ms. Flores:
McKenna et al. recently completed an architectural assessment of the property at 2558
Doolittle Avenue, a 1950 Vernacular style residential property. This property is not
listed in the City’s listing of historically sensitive properties. This residence was evalu-
ated against National Register of Historic Places (National Registe) and California Reg-
ister of Historical Resources (California Register) eligibility criteria. Because Arcadia
does not yet have a historic preservation ordinance in place, establishing local eligibility
criteria, McKenna et al. was only able to evaluate the property against the federal and
state eligibility criteria, with consideration for local recognition.
My evaluation resulted in a determination that this property is not eligible for listing as
an “individually eligible resource” and, therefore, assigned the designated code of 6Z
(see attached forms).
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my office in Whittier, CA.
Sincerely,
JJeanette A. McKenna

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope.
Also address integrity.) Following WWII, the residential improvements in the City of Arcadia continued with
more improvements to the east – nearer the corporate boundary. Areas east of 5 th Avenue were
dominated by post war construction and areas nearer 10th Avenue were predominantly post-1950. The
single family residential properties were improved as modest middle-class residential properties de-
signed for enlargement, as determined by the individual owners. As such, many of the residences
within Tract No. 16091 (mapped in 1949) were average-sized lots with two and three bedroom resi-
dences. The neighborhood remained relatively stable until post-1990, when properties began the pro-
cess of redevelopment or significant alteration through upgrading and modernization.

The property located at 2558 Doolittle Avenue, Arcadia, Los Angeles County, California, is
cross-referenced by the Los Angeles County Assessor as Assessor Parcel No. 5791-004-054
and described as a single family residential property dating to 1950. The legal description
also identified the property as Lots 29 and 30 of Tract No. 16091 (a map dating to 1949). His-
torically, Lot 30 of this property was within the Rancho Santa Anita, confirmed to Henry Dalton
and platted in 1858. Lot 29 (a small triangular parcel) was originally within the boundaries of the
historic Rancho San Francisquito. The Rancho Santa Anita consisted of 13,319.06 acres, in-
cluded the majority of Section 3 (T1S, R11W). This portion of Section 3 was known to be
within the larger Lot No. 37 of the Rancho. The small fraction within the Rancho San Francis-
quito was referenced as Lot 38 (69.3 acres).
By 1883, the property now identified as 2558 Doolittle Avenue was located within the bounda-
ries of the Santa Anita Tract, a subdivision owned by Elias J. Baldwin. Specifically, the property
was within Lot 39 of the Tract (which did not include the small portion within the Rancho San
Francisquito). This area was due east of the Santa Anita Colony (also owned by Elias J. Bald-
win, and outside the core area of the historic community of Arcadia. In 1906, this area was still
outside the incorporated boundaries of Arcadia and included within the Arcadia Acreage Tract of
Clifton Axtel & Associates. In this case, the property was within Lot 130, which was bounded to
the east by 10th Avenue and midway between Walnut Avenue (now Longden Avenue) and Val-
net Avenue (now Camino Real). The City limit defined the eastern boundary of the project area
(again, not including the small parcel within Rancho San Francisquito).
Tract No. 16091 was defined in 1949 and included land within the City of Arcadia and some ar-
eas of unincorporated Los Angeles County. The legal owner of the tract was identified as the
Olsen Lumber Company (Frank T. Olsen) and included property east of the Santa Anita Wash,
north of Longden Avenue, and the alignment of the northern line of Lot 130 (noted above). As
such, this subdivision involved both Lots 129 and 130, east of the Santa Anita Wash.
When mapped in 1949, the project area was identified as consisting of Lots 29 and 30 of Tract
No. 16091, and measuring 65 feet (north/south) by 134 feet (east/west), or 8,710 square feet.
Streets within the subdivision included Doolittle Avenue, Magnis Street, Boley Street, Foss Ave-
nue, Ednuel Street, and Othello Street. Tenth Avenue was not included in this subdivision, but
properties fronting Longden Avenue were included.
The improvements at 2558 Doolittle Avenue date to 1950 (with supplemental improvements da-
ting to ca. 1953, per Assessor notes). The date of initial construction was confirmed by permits,

noting the construction was initiated in late 1949 and completed in 1950. McKenna et al. notes
the improvements were attributed to Beliveau Company (while the land was owned by the Olsen
Lumber Company). A review of permits for surrounding properties confirmed the Beliveau
Company constructed all of the surrounding properties, illustrating the residential developments
within Tract No. 16091 were completed as “pre-planned” and not built-to-suit individual property-
owners’ specifications. As such, this community can be considered a “tract home” development
indicative of the ca. 1950 residential developments throughout Southern California. Once con-
structed, the properties were sold for single family residential occupation.
A review of the surrounding properties yielded the following dates of construction, all by Be-
liveau Company:
919 Magnus Street 1950-1979
2532 Doolittle Avenue 1950-1961

The County Assessor describes the improvements at 2558 Doolittle Avenue as consisting of
1,270 square feet of living space (three bedrooms and two baths). City permits and area direc-
tories showed the initial occupants/owners of the property was Arthur F. (1910-1984) and Ethel
N. (1916-2014) Pomeroy, who, prior to 1952, were renters in Pasadena. The Pomeroys had
two children (Norma and Lily) who were living with their parents in ca. 1959-1962). In 1958, the
Pomeroys added a family room, bath, and service porch to the residence, suggesting the origi-
nal residence (which was more of an “L” shaped structure than the current “T” shaped structure)
consisted of only two bedrooms and one bath. The area of living space (1,270 sq. ft.) is indica-
tive of how small this residence is/was, despite the additions.
The Pomeroys remained on the property until the death of Arthur in 1984 and Ethel apparently
remained until her death in 2014. The property is currently vacant and appears to have been
vacant since Ethel’s death.

The only alterations to the property covered by permits were the addition of the family room,
bath, and service porch in 1958. Notes attached to the permit reference the presence of a “fire
place” within the addition. This addition was constructed on the southeastern corner of the resi-
dence and extended into the rear yard. A review of aerial photographs confirmed this addition
was not present in 1954 but fully visible in 1964.
The recent visual inspection of the residential improvements at 2558 Doolittle Avenue confirmed
the presence of a vacant residence with an attached two-car garage. The residence is “T”
shaped, with the garage located on the north side of the residential structure. Both the resi-
dence and garage are one story structures with hipped-gable roofs and stucco siding. The gar-
age is a standard two-car garage with wood framing, stucco siding, and a poured concrete floor.
The garage is accessed from Doolittle Avenue by an asphalt driveway near the northern bound-
ary of the property. The bay door faces Doolittle Avenue (west elevation) and consists of a rela-
tively modern, roll-open aluminum bay door with no windows. At the time of the site visit, this
bay door was “tweaked” and appeared to be off its roller on one side. It is possible the door was
pried (an attempt to force it open), resulting in the damage. There is a secondary entrance on
the east elevation of the garage, consisting of a solid paneled door (3 panels) with wood fram-
ing.
The entire garage has been re-surfaced with textured stucco. Patching can be seen along the
base of the structure, indicating water damage or the patching of minor earthquake cracks. The
garage is capped by a modern, hipped-gable roof and the covered patio is located on the east
side of the garage (with the patio roof being attached to the garage).
The covered patio to the east of the garage consists of a poured concrete slab with a flower bed
along the garage wall (2 feet wide). The roof is supported by a series (4) of simple 4 x 4 posts
with 2 x 4 braces. The canopy consists of a series of 2 x 6 rafters braced by cross-bars (2 foot
intervals). Corrugated metal sheets rest upon the rafters, providing a solid (but in very poor
condition) roof. This patio cover is in poor condition, exhibiting flaking paint and some rotting of
the exposed wood (pine). Additional areas of grass surround the patio and separate the patio
from the recreation room addition.
The main residence was designed as a “T” shaped structure with the ell extending into the front
yard and at the southwestern corner of the residence. This floorplan suggests the main en-
trance is at the living room and the original bedrooms (2) and bath are located along the south-

ern expanse of the structure. The kitchen and dining areas would be to the rear, along the
eastern elevation of the residence (and accessed via a secondar y entrance on the east eleva-
tion).
The residence is a wood-framed structure covered with the re-surfaced textured stucco finish.
The roof is a hipped-gable design with modern shingles (no permit for re-roofing). The eaves
are relatively shallow and defined by rain gutters and exposed 2 x 4 rafters. There is also evi-
dence of roof vents.
The west elevation of the residence exhibits the original “L” shape of the structure and a central
entryway beneath the roof overhang and via an elongated porch and 3-step stoop, illustrating
the structure is on a raised foundation. The porch and porch roof are supported by decorative
iron posts and railings. The main entry is covered by a security screen over a replaced front
door. All of the windows on the west elevation have been replaced by modern vinyl windows
(fixed and sliders). There are no outstanding design elements, but vegetation is present (land-
scaping not maintained).
The south elevation is a relatively elongated expanse the also includes the rear addition (ca.
1958). The variation in the roofline defines the difference between the original structure and the
rear addition, which is slightly taller and wider. The window frames on the south elevation are
original, wood framed features, but all of the windows have been replaced by vinyl windows.
The surface has been re-stuccoed. There are floor vents evident and a single crawl-space
opening on the south elevation. There are no rain gutters.
The north elevation of the garage is a solid wall exhibiting re -stuccoing. Wrapping around the
garage, to the east elevation, the original residence exhibits an elongated, flat expanse, with the
garage resting on a concrete slab and the residence being on a raised foundation. A 3-step
stoop and narrow porch are located on the southern extent of the east elevation, exhibiting the
presence of two access door and corresponding replaced windows. The centralized door is an
eight paned door with a solid base below. This door is located in the kitchen area of the resi-
dence and is flanked by the replacement windows. The second door is located at the southern
extent of the raised porch and consists of a solid door (no windows) that appears to access the
recreation room addition (and/or service porch addition). At this point, the addition extends to
the east, exhibiting both north and east facing elevations.

The north elevation of the recreation room addition is dominated by the presence of a large,
wide, sliding glass door system. Access to this entrance is afforded via a 3-step concrete stoop
that is located on the western side of the door system (the eastern half of the doorway being a
fixed pane). The elevation has also been re-surfaced and an AC unit has been mounted at the
northeastern corner.
Wrapping around to the east elevation, this addition exhibits the utility meters for the residence,
a large, tall, red brick chimney (the only chimney/fire place associated with the property), and a
rear door (modern and damaged by exposure) accessed via a 2-step concrete stoop. Floor
vents attest to the raised foundation and floor of the addition. Having been constructed shortly
after the original residence, the materials and design were relatively similar to the original de-
sign. The two windows on the south elevation of the addition have been replaced by modern
vinyl sliders.
The rear yard is overgrown by grass and there is one large tree near the patio. Otherwise, the
property is not landscaped. The front yard is also dominated by grass (dry and unmaintained)
and another mature tree is present near the southwestern corner of the residence. There is foli-
age along the west elevation of the residence (bushes and firs), but no decorative plants or ac-
tual landscaping is present. The gutters are damaged and pulling away from the residence in
places. The residence has been vacant for a while, possibly years.
Overall, the improvements at 2558 Doolitlle Avenue are indicative of the 1950 construction, but
the replacement of the roof, replacement of all windows and doors, replacement of the original
garage door, and re-stuccoing of the surface have impacted the architectural integrity of the res-
idence/garage. The 1958 addition to the rear of the structure (originally referred to as a recrea-
tion room and now considered the third bedroom), second bathroom, and service porch, while
not really evident from the street, have significantly altered the floor plan of the residence and
have, therefore, also impacted the integrity of the residence.
The Pomeroy family occupied this residence from a time shortly after construction was complet-
ed until ca. 2014, when Ethel N. Pomeroy passed away. There is no evidence that either Arthur
F. r Ethel N. Pomeroy meet the intent of an association with a noted person in history and the
property, itself, has not been associated with any identifiable, significant historical event. Fur-
ther, there is no evidence of scientifically important resources in the property (e.g. archaeologi-
cal or paleontological resources).

The property at 2558 Doolittle Avenue is not listed in the City’s listing of historically significant
properties and, in assessing the existing improvements, McKenna et al. has concluded the
1950-1958 improvements have been significantly impacted by permitted and unpermitted altera-
tions, including:
x Re-roofing
x Re-stuccoing
x Window replacement
x Door replacement
x Garage door replacement
x Rear addition with fireplace
x Addition of AC unit
x Construction of covered patio
The residence is currently in poor condition, exhibiting evidence of water damage, moss/mold
growth, and neglect. The improvements were not designed by a known or revered architect and
the improvements are consistent with others in the general area, having been constructed by
the same construction company.
Considering the lack of associations with persons or events in history; the lack of
unique architectural designs or materials; lack of association with any architect of note;
and the low potential for scientific study; McKenna et al. has determined this property
does not qualify as a historical cultural resource under any one or more of the basic four
criteria outlined in the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the California Envi-
ronmental Quality Act (CEQA), or the criteria used by the City in assessing properties for
local recognition. The property is not considered historically significant and any pro-
posed alterations, demolition, or redevelopment of the property will not result in any ad-
verse environmental impacts.
