Professional Archaeologist Owner and Principal Investigator August 8, 2019 City of Arcadia Attn: Lisa Flores/Luis Torrico 240 W. Huntington Drive Arcadia, California 91066 RE: 418 E. Las Flores Avenue, Arcadia, CA. Ms. Flores/Mr. Torrico: McKenna et al. completed an architectural assessment of the property at 418 E. Las Flores Avenue, Arcadia, in April of 2019. At the request of the City, I have amended my document to reflect and address the recently enacted local guidelines and policies (Or- dinance 2359 and Arcadia Municipal Code, Article IX, Chapter 1). My study also ad- dressed this property in compliance with the National Register of Historic Places (Na- tional Register) criteria, the California Register of Historical Resources (California Reg- ister) criteria. This property is not listed in the City’s listing of individually eligible cultural resources. McKenna et al.’s research and evaluation resulted in a determination that this property is not eligible for listing as an “individually eligible resource” or City “Landmark.” I have assigned the property a status code of 6Z, per OHP guidelines (see attached DPR-523 forms) and, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact my office in Whittier, CA.

Area City of Arcadia, Los Angeles Co., CA Period of Significance: Post-WWII Property Type: Residential Applicable Criteria: NONE (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) This area was originally identified as the Arcadia Acreage Tract (1906) and designed as large lots for agricultural/farming developments. In this case, the property was part of Lot 111. Later, the larger property was subdivided as Tract 14665 (Book 369, pp. 26-28), and the specific property identified as Lot 93. Subsequent Assessor mapping and property numbering resulted in the identification of the property as Parcel 015 (Map Book 5790, Page 009). Development in this particular area did not begin until after WWII (ca. 1950-54) with the beginning of early minimal traditional/ranch/tract home construction. This area of the City of Arcadia was developed relatively late and not covered by the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps dating to 1932. The development periods are representative of the population growth and need for affordable housing in the LA suburbs, especially areas in the San Gabriel Valley, where Arcadia was initially designed as a middle-lower middle class, working com- munity with affordable residential properties.

Las Flores Avenue, Arcadia, CA 91006 *Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date: Apr. 25, 2019 X Continuation  Update Prior to the establishment of the City of Arcadia, the current project area was within the historic Rancho Santa Anita. Eventually owned by Elias J. Baldwin, the City was founded and bounded by the rancho boundary (east), the “County Road” to the south (now Live Oak); and points to the west and north. Located in the southeastern corner of the rancho, this area was designated as part of the Arcadia Acreage Tract of 1906. In this case, the property was part of Block 111, a relatively large square originally designed for agricultural use. Later, the larger property was subdivided as part of Tract 14665 (Book 369, pp. 26-28). Tract No. 14665 was filed in 1950. As such, this area was undeveloped and, therefore, not covered by the detailed recording of the Sanborn Fire Insurance map Company. In the case of Tract No. 14665, the current project area was identified as Lot 93 and measured approximately 56 feet wide and 114 feet deep (one record references 71 feet by 129 feet; likely measured to the center of the adjacent streets). Located on a corner, a small portion of the northeast corner has been lost to the curbing of Las Flores Avenue and 5th Avenue. The property, covering 6,384 square feet, is just slightly smaller than a standard, modern, single family residential lot of 7000 square feet. Subsequent mapping has resulted in the re-identification of the property as Parcel 015 (Map Book 5790, Page 19; APN 5790-009-015). Development in this particular area did not begin until after W WII (after 1950) with the beginning of single family residential construction in this specific area. The properties were designed to be slightly wider than usual, but also slightly shorter than usual, resulting in rectangular properties. The corner location permit- ted access to the project from both the north and west sides. Although this area was incorporated into the City of Arcadia, the general area associated with the Arcadia Acreage Tract was not included in the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps (ceased mapping in 1932). The development periods are representative of the population growth and need for affordable housing in the LA suburbs, especially areas in the San Gabriel Valley, following WWII. Arcadia was primarily developed as a middle-lower middle class community for working class families. A review of directories and permits identified the original developer of the property at 418 E. Las Flores Avenue as D.E. Turner & Associates, Inc. D.E. and Frances R. Turner were identified as the owners of Tract No. 14665, when it was mapped in 1950. D.E. Turner & Associates, Inc. also constructed other properties within the tract, rendering these improvements “tract homes” with certain similarities (e.g. plans and use of materials). Once constructed, the residential properties were immediately sold. The original improvements at 418 E. Las Flores Avenue consisted of a single family residence with an attached garage. The residence consisted of approximately 1,150 square feet of living space and the garage was another 400 +/- square feet. Turner sold the property to Forest O’Hair (1951), who held the property until ca. 1955. In 1951, immediately after purchasing the property, O’Hair added a den to the residence (per permits). In 1956, George R. Cadd owned the property and, in 1959, he converted the existing attached garage into living space, as well as a service porch and bathroom . At the same time, he constructed an enlarged “new garage.” The additions to the residence resulted in 1,561 square feet of living space. The 1959 garage was located to the rear of the property and accessed via a driveway established off 5th Avenue. The original driveway on E. Las Flores Avenue remained/remains intact.

Las Flores Avenue, Arcadia, CA 91006 *Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date: Apr. 25, 2019 X Continuation  Update Cadd had the new driveway poured in 1961. By 1965-66, Cadd had sold the property to George E. Ward and Ward sold the property to Alfred and Juanita Buelow (1968). By 1979, the property was owned by Robert W. Cripe, who remained on the property until at least 2014. The Buelows re-roofed the residence in 1968, shortly after their purchase, but pulled no other permits. Robert W. and Sandra Cripe, the longest occupants of the property, added a front porch in 1980, r e-roofed the residence in 2002, and remodeled the kitchen in 2014. In summary, since the original construction, the residence has been re -roofed at least twice, a den was added, a front porch was added, the original garage was converted to living space an d a new garage was constructed to replace the loss of the original garage. An asphalt driveway was poured to accompany the new garage. General maintenance included electrical work, plumbing, replacement of the water heater, and renovation of the kitchen. A review of the surrounding properties confirmed D.E. Turner & Associates, Inc. were responsible for the initial construction with Tract 14665. Improvements surrounding 418 E. Las Flores date as follows: 400 E. Las Flores Avenue 2013 415 E. Las Flores Avenue 1950-56 401 E. Las Flores Avenue 1950-54 418 E. Las Flores Avenue 1950-52 408 E. Las Flores Avenue 1995 419 E.

Las Flores Avenue 1950-53 As presented, four of the nine residential properties surrounding 418 E. Las Flores Avenue have been redeveloped since ca. 1986. The remaining five are indicative of the modest 1950+ improvements at- tributed to D.E. Turner & Associates, Inc., but their presence has been impacted by the introduction of the large, modern residential redevelopments. Previously noted, the original improvements at 418 E. Las Flores Avenue consisted of a residence with an attached garage. The recent visit to the property confirmed the attached garage has been incorporated into the living space for the residence and the 1959 -1960 garage (with service porch and bathroom) is located to the rear of the property. This “new” garage was designed as a standard two car garage with the extension to the north consisting of work/storage space. There is no wall separating the work/storage area from the greater garage. The structure is wood framed, with stucco siding, and a poured concrete floor. The hipped-gable roof is ori- ented north/south and covered in composition shingles. The bay door is a modern aluminum roll-up door (not original to the structure) facing east (towards 5th Avenue). The bay door is accessed via an asphalt driveway that was installed in 1961. The south elevation of the garage is a flat expanse with no windows or doors. The west elevation exhibits two wall segment – with the southern section of the building pro- truding further to the west. Here, two solid storage doors are evident.

Las Flores Avenue, Arcadia, CA 91006 *Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date: Apr. 25, 2019 X Continuation  Update The northern portion of the west elevation of the garage exhibits a second auto bay door – in this case, a single car-wide door of wood and hinge action. This second bay door allows for access to the walled area to the west of the garage, an open patio/work area now associated with a small storage shed. The north elevation of the garage exhibits an aluminum slider window and an access do or with a solid panel base with four panes above (2:2). The eaves surrounding the garage are modest and bounded by a simple fascia. A small planter is located at the base of the north elevation, providing additional land- scaping to the rear yard. In general, this garage is fairly basic and exhibits no outstanding design elements or materials. The residence, as previously noted, consists of the original residence, converted attached garage, and added den, front porch, service porch, and second bathroom. When originally built, the residence was a two bedroom, one bath structure. With the additions and alterations, the residence is now a three bed- room, two bath structure with 1,561 square feet of living space. The residential structure is irregularly shaped and exhibits a centrally located red brick chimney. The structure is wood frames with stucco, wood, and brick siding. The original structure was primarily stucco sided. However, the converted garage now exhibits a faux board and batten finish and t he added porch exhibits a red brick skirting the does not appear original to the residence. The structure is on a raised foundation and exhibits a hipped-gable roof oriented east/west. The structure has been re-roofed at least twice and now exhibits modern composition shingles. The north elevation is an elongated expanse that includes the original residence and the converted gar- age. In the area of the converted garage (western portion of the structure), the original concrete driveway is still present. The closed wall consists of board and batten siding and a large, modern, aluminum framed window system consisting of a large fixed pane flanked by sliders. To the east of the converted garage, the residential wall is recessed approximately four and a half feet. The main entry is located nearer the converted garage and is slightly recessed. The doorway is framed by red brick and the door, itself, is a modern replacement with a large, oval pane. The remainder of the elevation is flat, with the red brick sk irt (below) and stucco siding (above). There are two sets of windows. Nearer the entry, the window system is similar to that on the converted garage (centered fixed pane flanked by sliders). To the eastern extent of the elevation, there is a set of slider windows (one large pane each). The porch addition consists of an elongated concrete expanse running from the converted garage to the northeastern corner of the residence. The roof line continues over this porch and is supported by five simple 4 x 4 po sts and a load bearing beam. There is a small planter defined by red brick fronting the porch. Overall, there are no unique design elements on the north eleva- tion and the main elements (e.g. porch, windows, and door) are all indicative of the ca. 1980 re novations to the residence. The east elevation is a relatively short wall consisting of stucco siding and a series of four aluminum sliding windows separated by the presence of landscaped and shaped bushes. Much of the elevation is obscured by the vegetation, but the wall is a flat expanse with no unique design elements.

The red brick planter continues along this elevation, accentuating the landscaping. The condition of the elevation suggests the wall was re -stuccoed following the installa- tion of the modern windows. The west elevation is an elongated expanse of stucco siding, but exhibits a single set of aluminum sliding windows. The eave is narrow and faced with a flat fascia board. The elevation also indicated the surface was refinished. The south elevation of the residen ce is essentially “L” shaped, exhibiting a southern extension on the southwestern corner of the structure. This ell appears to be representative of the service porch addition dating to 1959-1960, located to the rear of the converted garage and also associated with the added bathroom. There is no window on the west side of this addition, but the south elevation exhibits a sec- ondary entrance and a small, two-step, concrete stoop. The door is a standard exterior door with a solid base and single paned upper. There is a wood sill and a roof extension providing cover from the elements. The east elevation of this ell exhibits a set of slider windows (two panes) on a solid stucco wall. It is noted, the west side of the service porch addition is recessed to th e east and does not extend to the western wall of the converted garage. In this recess is the water heater (outside mount), a ground -level A/C unit, and the utility boxes. Wrapping to the south elevation, east of the ell, the original residential wall is a flat expanse extending to the southeastern corner of the residence. There is a small, single paned, bathroom window near the corner of the elevation (western extent) and a set of original steel framed casement windows to the east of the bathroom window. Further to the east is a smaller set of steel framed casement windows and a set of large sliding glass doors (near the southeast corner). This set of glass doors appears to be a more modern addition to the residence, as the steps are simple wooden (and off centered) steps, indicating the sliding doors replaced a smaller entrance. The south elevation of the residence, east of the service porch, is also dominated by the presence of a concrete patio with a solid roof (an extension of the residential roof line) supported by 4 x 4 posts. An open BBQ ramada is located to the east of the covered patio. Overall, there are no outstanding design elements on the south elevation. The front, side, and rear yard areas are landscaped and well maintained. The front yard is dominated by a large expanse of grass, the original driveway, and various small and elongated planters. There are decorative plants and a few young trees. The side yard (on 5 th Avenue) is also dominated by grass and the 1961 asphalt driveway. There are well maintained bushes along the base of the residence and bou- gainvillea above the BBQ ramada. The rear yard includes the concrete patio, grassy expanse, and dec- orative plants in peripheral planters. This landscaping is considered to be moder n and relatively recent, not indicative of the historic or pre -1965 landscaping. No permits were found for the cinderblock walls defining the property boundaries, but the eastern wall appears to be more recent than the western or southern walls. In any case, the walls are of simple cinder block construction and of no historic signifi- cance.

McKenna *Date: Apr. 25, 2019 X Continuation  Update EVALUATION On April 9, 2019, the City of Arcadia adopted Ordinance No. 2359: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcadia, California, Amending Various Sections of Article IX, Chapter 1 of the Arcadia Municipal Code (“The Development Code”), with an Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), to Implement a Historic Preservation Ordinance.” This Ordinance was the result of num erous meetings, studies, and public comment. City of Arcadia Zoning Code, Section 9103.17 addresses Historic Preservation. Summarizing the docu- ment, for consideration as a Historic Landmark (resource) in the City of Arcadia, property improvements must be 45 years of age or older. In addition, the improvements must maintain their integrity, as defined by the seven criteria listed in the State and Federal guidelines (Location, Design, Setting, Materials, Workman- ship, Feeling, and Association). A resources (building, structure, object, or site) will be eligible for recogni- tion if it meets one or more of the following Criteria: 1. It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of Arcadia’s or California’s history; 2. It is associated with the lives of persons important to local or California history; 3. It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic v alues; 4. It has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the city or state. In addition to the basic Ordinance, the improvements must also maintain their integrity, as defined by the seven criteria listed in the State and Federal guidelines (Location, Design, Setting, Materials, Workmanship, Feeling, and Association). Once “Integrity” is addressed, a resource (building, structure, object, or site) can be considered for eligible for recognition if it meets one or more of the following Criteria: Integrity Location: The improvements at 418 E. Las Flores Avenue remain, for the most part, in their original locations. However, it is noted that alterations and additions have resulted in changes to the original plan for the residence, the incorporation of the original garage into living space, and the construction of a new garage – adding to the overall area covered by structural improvements. As such, Mc Kenna et al. has concluded that while the property, itself, is in its original location, the intent of this element HAS NOT been met with respect to the im- provements within the property.

Las Flores Avenue, Arcadia, CA 91006 *Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date: Apr. 25, 2019 X Continuation  Update Design: The original design of the residence and original garage have been altered. The new garage was essentially designed to complement the early construction, but is indicative of supplemental improvements. These alterations include, but are not necessarily lim ited to the following:  Conversion of the original garage into living space;  Construction of a new two-car garage with work room;  Construction of a service porch, den, and additional bathroom ;  Construction of the new front porch  Construction of the rear patio with associated roof extension;  Re-roofing of the residence and garage (at least twice);  Replacement of all windows with modern vinyl materials;  Replacement of the original sliding glass door (rear);  Replacement of the front door;  Replacement of the garage bay door; The footprint of the residence and garage have changed, and the permitted and unpermitted alterations have resulted in a loss of architectural integrity with re- spect to the original design. The intent of this integrity element HAS NOT been net. Setting: The Las Flores Avenue area was originally developed in the 1950s and, alt- hough a corner lot, the residences tended to form a small community or neigh- borhood. However, since the original developments, approximately 40% of the residences have been replaced with modern, larger residences that now domi- nate the area. The original setting has been significantly impacted by the influx of large, two story, modern, single family residential improvements that dwarf the original residences. The “neighborhood” has been adversely impacted by these redevelopments, resulting in a loss of the original “setting” indicative of the post-WWII developments. As such, the intent of this integrity element HAS NOT been met. Materials: As noted above, there have been significant changes to the materials associated with this property, including the replacement of the roofing materials, replace- ment of windows, some doors; some resurfacing, etc., and the introduction fo materials associated with new construction. Overall, the extent of exterior alter- ations/maintenance has compromised the integrity of the original use of materi- als and/or surfaces. As such, McKenna et al. has concluded the intent of this element HAS NOT been met.

There is no known architect; no noted craftsman or con- tractor; no unique or exotic materials used; and no outstanding design elements. The intent of this integrity element HAS NOT been met. Feeling: “Feeling” is subjective. Nonetheless, when entering a neighborhood, the feeling that you are in an area representative of the period of significance (e.g. Post - WWII population growth and population boom of the 1940s to 1950s) should stand out. In this case, that “feeling” has been significantly compromised by the extent of redevelopments (two of every five lots). McKenna et al. has concluded the area fails to maintain a “feeling” of the 1950s improvements and, therefore, the intent of this element of integrity HAS NOT been met. Association: McKenna et al. research could not associate the improvements at 418 E. Las Flores Avenue with any significant historical event. It has been associated with numerous owners (O’Hair, Cadd, Ward, Buelow, and Cripe). None of these owners or associated families meet the intent of the “association” element. Therefore, the intent of this element of integrity HAS NOT been met. Overall, the review of “Integrity” found the property at 418 E. Las Flores Avenue has failed to meet any of the seven elements of “Integrity.” Failing to meet a minimum requirements of integrity, McKenna et al. has concluded the property fails to meet any standard for retaining “Integrity” and, therefore, does not qualify for consideration as a national, state, or local historically significant resource. Final Assessment Despite the lack of integrity for the property, McKenna et al. completed the assessment of the property with respect to the standard CEQA criteria, as well as the criteria of the City of Arcadia. The follow conclusions were found: 1. It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of Arcadia’s or California’s history; No evidence was found that associated this property with any significant events in Arcadia or California history. Therefore, the property is not eligible for recognition under this crite- rion. 2. It is associated with the lives of persons important to local or California history; No evidence was found to suggest to connect this property to any significant persons in Arcadia or California history. Therefore, the property is not eligible for recognition under this criterion.

It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construc- tion, or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values; The improvements at 418 E. Las Flores Avenue have been impacted through additions, alteration, and general maintenance. In the case of the residence, the surface has been redone, the roof has been replaced (at least twice), doors and windows have been re- placed. Additions have been noted, including the construction of a new garage. The foot- print of the residence and the new garage altered the original plan of the improvements. The rear patio was improved over time. Improvements were done with and without per- mits. None of the improvements have not been associated with any known architect, craftsman, or contractor. Further, no exotic or unique materials were used and there ar e no outstanding design elements. Taking all changes and conditions into consideration, McKenna et al. has concluded the property is not eligible for recognition under this crite- rion. 4. It has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the city or state. No evidence has been found to suggest this property has a potential to yield significant scientific information to Arcadia, the state, or the federal governments. The property is highly disturbed and, despite this disturbance, no evidence of buried resour ces was iden- tified.
