RE: 1416-1418 S. First Avenue, Arcadia.
Ms. Flores:
McKenna et al. recently completed an architectural assessment of the property at 1416-
1418 S. First Avenue, a MFR property with two Minimal Traditional residences (1913-41
and 1955, respectively. This property is not listed in the City’s listing of historically sen-
sitive properties. This property was evaluated against National Register of Historic
Places (National Register) and California Register of Historical Resources (California
Register) eligibility criteria, as well as the recently adopted local guidelines and policies
(Ordinance 2359 and Arcadia Municipal Code, Article IX, Chapter 1).
My evaluation resulted in a determination that this property (neither residence) is not
eligible for listing as an “individually eligible resource(s)” or City “Landmark(s).” I am
recommending the City consider this property ineligible for recognition as a historical
resource. McKenna et al. has tentatively assigned a code of 6Z (see attached forms),
pending City concurrence. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my of-
fice in Whittier, CA.
Sincerely,
Jeanette A. McKenna

1418 S. First Avenue. This area was subdivided and available for development in the 1930s and further
subdivided in the 1940s to 1960s. The majority of structures in the area are indicative of the post-1959
residential and school development designed primarily for single family occupancy. In this particular
area, the lots are relatively large and early structures (pre-WWII) were designed on lots that were
large and permitted livestock. The residence at 1416 S. First Avenue is indicative of the pre-WWII min-
imal traditional developments that reflected the simple improvements during the Depression. These
developments are indicative of those dominating the areas south of Duarte Road (County Road) and
east of Santa Anita Avenue. In the past few decades, this area has been subject to redevelopment
with some smaller residences being replaced by larger residences (but on smaller lots) and older resi-
dences being removed for school development. While the area remains predominantly single family
residential, it has also been significantly impacted by the many redevelopments.

The property now identified as 1416-1418 S. First Avenue, Arcadia, was originally identified as
being within the historic Rancho Santa Anita (1858); outside the Rancho San Francisquito (1869);
the Santa Anita Tract (1883); Blocks 15 and 16 of the Santa Anita Colony (1891); Blocks 15 and
16 of the Arcadia Acreage Tract (1906); and Blocks 3 and 4 of Tract No. 808 (1910). As late are
1932, this area was still considered rural and not included in the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps
addressing the core area of the City of Arcadia. Subsequently, the property was identified as
being adjacent to (west of) Tract No. 21618 (1960) and due south of Tract No. 22199 (1962). As
such, the current subject property was not defined by Tract No. 808 in 1910, but remained a part
of the larger, undivided area until the late 1930s (vis private sale and not as part of a subdivision).
Research (primarily permits and directories) confirmed this property (consisting of the northern
29.37 feet of Block 3 and the southern 57.25 feet of Block 4; 410.92 feet deep) was owned in
1939 by John Anderson immediately improved. In 1941-42, Anderson completed an addition to
the residence and garage, including the establishment of a cesspool (completed in 1942). Ander-
son was still on the property in 1950.
In 1951, Anderson sold the property to B.E. (Billy) Lemon, who constructed a “shed” that was also
referred to as a “stable”. This structure was located to the rear of the property (eastern extent).
Lemon also added to the original dwelling (description not provided on permit). In 1955, the prop-
erty was owned by Joe J. Natale. Natale converted the “stable” into living quarters (hence, 1418
S. First Avenue). The Natale family remained on the property until after 1967 and permits show
they did heating and plumbing upgrades associated with the enlargement of the kitchen and in-
stallation of a second bath (1963-64). In 1966, they re-roofed the garage and residence. In 1964,
the Natales added the aluminum patio roof (to the north of the rear residence). Following these
improvements, the Natales sold the property to Mr. and Mrs. Castillo, who remodeled the outside
of the original residence (stucco, wood, and brock) and added a patio to the rear of the residence.
Jack M. (Mason) and Louise Hoage purchased the property around 1979 and completed improve-
ments in 1979-80, by adding a 26’ x 12’6” addition to the residence (which residence is not defined
on the permit), and replaced the water heater. In 1979, they also added an A/C unit. In 1982,
the Hoages re-roofed the residence and in 1987, added the solarium to the rear of the residence.
No permits post-date 1987, suggesting no significant alterations were completed since 1984 (as
least, not with permits). It is currently unknown when the Hoages left the property, but Louise
Hoage died in 1989, suggesting Jack Hoage likely left the property after her death (he was 70
when Louise died).

Jack M. Hoage (1918-2000) was a medical doctor that spent many years in military service (pre-
and post-WWII) before attending medical school. He practiced in the Monrovia and Pasadena
areas before purchasing the Arcadia property (ca. 1979), likely in anticipation of retirement. He
and his wife (b. 1915) remained on the property until her death in 1989. There was no evidence
found to suggest Dr. Hoage was still practicing after moving to Arcadia and, passing in Laguna
Niguel in 2000, it appears he relocated after his wife’s death.
In researching this property, McKenna et al. completed a cursory review of surrounding properties
and compiled the following dates of improvements:

1234 S. First Avenue 1934
As listed, the property at 1326 S. First Avenue presents the earliest improvements in this particular
area. Subsequently, eight properties were improved between 1934 and 1939. Another five prop-
erties were improved in the 1940s and two in the 1950s. It is also noted Dana Middle School was
constructed in 1959, primarily to facilitate the increased population in the 1950s. This area of
construction likely required the removal of pre-1959 housing (10-11 properties).
A single tract (Tract No. 22199 = eight properties) property dates to the 1960s and, after 1986, a
minimum of six properties were redeveloped, resulting in the removal of additional early resi-
dences. As such, of the 31 properties listed (note: Altern Street involves eight properties), ap-

proximately 20% represent modern improvements. Another 30% represent post-1960 improve-
ments. Approximately 6% of the properties represent improvements in the 1950s; 16% of the
properties were improved in the 1940s; and 35% date to the 1930s. Despite the benefit of dates
for properties redeveloped for school development, approximately 50% of the properties between
1234 and 1531 S. First Street are post-1960 improvements – indicating only 50% or less of the
pre-1960 neighborhood remains. Most are single family properties, but at least three have been
identified as multi-family properties. Based on these rudimentary percentages, McKenna et al.
has concluded there is no intact historic district associated with this particular extension of S. First
Avenue.
With respect to the improvements at 1416-1418 S. First Avenue, McKenna et al. confirmed the
presence of two residences, one garage, and the covered aluminum patio/work area to the rear
of the yard. The driveway enters the property near the northern boundary and the garage is
accessed from the east (“U” turn into garage); with the garage on the northern property boundary
and north of the original residence (1416 S. First Avenue). The curvature of the driveway sug-
gests the drive was reoriented and the original entrance to the garage was on the west elevation
(see later discussion).
The residence at 1416 S. First Avenue is the original residence associated with the property (ca.
1939), but currently exhibits the remodeling attributed to the Castillos in ca. 1970. The original
residence did not include the brick skirting and the wood board and batten finish appears to have
been added. As such, the original finish was likely limited to the stucco siding indicative of the
late 1930s - early 1940s. The front porch is original to the residence, but the roof over the porch
appears to have been elongated to accommodate the access from the driveway (the original ac-
cess was from the west).
The original Anderson residence is a wood framed structure on a raised foundation. The roof line
is a cross-gable style covered in modern composition shingles. The current siding consists of
stucco, wood (on a board and batten design, and exhibits a red brick (decorative) skirt on the west
elevation. Aerial photographs suggest the original structure was “U” shaped (with the main portion
of the residence being oriented north/south and two ells extending to the east – the center of the
east elevation being slightly recessed. The 1942 addition (see below) resulted in the structure
being irregularly shaped. Between 1939 and 1970, the configuration of the residence changed
considerably.

The west elevation (facing S. First Avenue) exhibits the elongated porch on the northern 2/3s of
the structure and this porch ends at the flat wall of the southern ell. This ell, on the southwestern
corner of the residence, is likely the addition completed by Anderson in 1942, resulting in the “T”
shape of the southern portion of the residence. The majority of the west elevation is designed
with an upper stucco finish and a red brick skirt below. The southern ell exhibits a board and
batten surface (upper) and the same red brick below. The eaves are very shallow and the roofline
of the southern ell overlaps the roof line of the covered porch. This design is attributed to the
Castillos (ca. 1970).
The porch is not really a porch. Rather, the southern portion appears to represent the original,
smaller porch in an area associated with the main entrance. To the north, the poured concrete
expanse is a walkway with a planter approximately 1 ½ feet deep between the walkway and the
residence. The roof line was extended to provide cover over the entire expanse – which was
originally limited to an area in the center of the elevation. This extended roof is supported by three
sets of paired 4 x 4 posts with decorative interior lattice work.
The main entrance is slightly south of center on this elevation and within the corner formed by the
presence of the southern ell. The doorway is accessed via a single concrete step, attesting the
height of the raised flooring. At the time of this investigation, the main entry was covered by a
security screen. The original door appears to have been replaced with a modern door. To the
north of the entry, there is a large, fixed window flanked by casement windows. These windows
are modern, vinyl windows that have replaced the original windows. To the north of this set of
windows is another set of modern windows – sliders that replaced the original double hung sash
windows.
There are no windows on the wall adjacent to the main entry, but the west elevation of the south-
ern ell also exhibits replacement window similar to those on the north end. These 9-paned re-
placement windows are nested in the original window frames with the board and batten siding
negating the relief of the original design. In all, the entire west elevation has been significantly
altered.
The north elevation of the residence is an elongated expanse of stucco siding, but a short area to
the west also exhibits some minor board and batten siding and red brick skirting. The majority of
this elevation is associated with an east/west trending gable roof design, although the western
extent reflects the north/south trending roof and roof peak. Again, there is a very shallow eave.

The area associated with the east/west trending roof exhibits exposed rafters (less than one foot
deep) with associated rain gutters (modern). There are five sets of windows along this elevation,
all identified as vinyl replacements. Some of the relief for the window frames has been lost to the
stucco siding. The eastern extent of this ell has been associated with the 1963 addition attributed
to the Natale family. In 1963, the Natales enlarged the kitchen area and added another bathroom
to the residence.
The north elevation also exhibits the presence of the 1987 solarium added by Louise Hoage. This
solarium encompassed the area associated with the 1964 patio and patio roof addition (by the
Natales). The solarium extended beyond the covered patio and exhibits a domed expanse to the
east and a fashioned west wall to complete the enclosure. A door is present on the west side to
provide access to/from the solarium. Behind the solarium the northern elevation of the southern
ell is present, but obscured by a temporary shed and dog run. No windows are readily evident.
The south elevation of the residence is also an elongated expanse of flat stucco. Here, the exte-
rior water heater is presence, suggesting at least one of the bathrooms is located on the southern
side of the residence. The roof line is oriented east/west and exhibits the same shallow and
exposed rafters under the overhanging eave. A single board panel is located on the western
portion of the elevation, but the rest of the elevation is stucco. The floor is raised and there is a
crawl space opening near the water heater. Floor vents are also present.
All of the windows on this elevation have been replaced by modern, vinyl windows - double hung
sash windows, fixed, and slider designs. Aerial photographs show the eastern extent of this ele-
vation is associated with the 12’ 6” by 26’ addition completed in 1980 by the Hoages.
The east elevation is busy and reflects the east side of the Hoage’s 1980 addition (with a modern
replacement window); the east side of the 1963-64 kitchen expansion attributed to the Natales;
and the 1987 solarium attributed to the Hoages. Much of the east elevation is obscured by the
solarium, but the northern addition exhibits a solid door (secondary entrance) in the area of the
kitchen expansion. Overall, the south elevation reflects the significant alterations post-dating
1963 – dominated by the alterations in the 1980s.
In assessing the initial residence, McKenna et al. concluded the original residence has been sig-
nificantly altered, including additions, alterations, and the replacement of the all original windows
with modern vinyl windows without permits.

Anderson built his original garage in 1939 and enlarged it in 1942. When originally built, the
garage was likely a two car structure with a west facing entrance accessed by the driveway ex-
tending from S. First Avenue. W hen the improvements to the rear of the lot were constructed, the
driveway was also extended, designed to run between the garage and residence (ca. 1951 by
B.E. Lemon). When this was done, the orientation of the garage was altered to seal the west
elevation and relocate the bay door to the east elevation. The garage was designed to rest on a
concrete slab. It is a wood framed structure with an east/west trending gable rood with shallow
eaves (east and west sides) and short exposed rafters (north and south sides).
In 1970, Castillo remodeled the residence and, at the same time, installed a board and batten
finish to the west and north sides of the garage to complement the residence. However, in this
case, the boards are alternated and there are no true batten boards. A fixed window with diamond
panes was added to the west elevation, following the relocation of the bay door. This window was
likely salvages from off-site (indicative of 1950s design elements). The board and batten of the
garage is in very poor condition (pine) and exhibiting a significant amount of wood rot.
The residence at 1418 S. First Avenue is located to the rear of the property and consists of a
rectangular structure with a north/south trending roof line. In 1951, Lemon constructed a “shed”
on the property and, in 1952, this shed was enlarged and referenced as a “stable”. The roof line
exhibits a doubled design, indicating the original roof was designed to provide ventilation and was
closed at a later date. The closing can be attributed to the Natales, who, in 1955 remodeled the
shed/stable into a dwelling. The separate address was not listed until after 1969. The County
Assessor listed the improvement, but not be address. Occupants are listing in the 1963 and 1969
directories
This residence is a wood framed structure resting on a concrete slab. When originally built, this
wooden structure likely consisted of open stalls and some wood siding (the shed). When enlarged
into the “stable”, the roof was designed to provide the ventilation needed to keep the stable s
comfortable. The corral area was to the north and is now associated with the concrete pad and
aluminum roof post-dating 1980. Prior to this, the corral was open-air.
When converted into a residence, this structure was enclosed with stucco siding, the main en-
trance was on the west elevation, and a red brick chimney was added to the north elevation. The
west elevation exhibits an off-centered entry under a small extension of the roof. This covered
porch area is supported by two 4” x 4” posts and is associated with red brick stoop. To the north

of the entry is a large fixed window flanked by steel framed casement windows (original to the
structure). Decorative shutters flank the casement windows. To the west, behind a hanging ex-
terior window shade, are similar, but smaller windows (fixed and casement) with decorative shut-
ters. Rain gutter run the width of the building.
The north elevation is dominated by the presence of the chimney, but obscured by the items
stored under the large awning/aluminum roof. Nonetheless, there is evidence of two sets of win-
dows that appear to be fixed and casement (also original to the residence).
The long east elevation exhibits a series of four streel farmed casement windows, flat stucco
siding, the utility box, exterior piping and electrical wiring, and a recessed water heater closet. A
television/cable dish is mounted on the roof and rain gutters line the eaves.
The south elevation exhibits the peaked roof line (doubled in the center); modern overhanging
eaves, and an attic vent. There is a secondary entrance and two sets of steel frames casement
windows (original to the remodel). Shutters flank the larger of the two windows. Planters are
present on the south, west, and east elevations.
Overall, the rear residence (1418 S. First Avenue) reflects the original construction of 1955, with
se evidence the stucco has been resurfaced. The structure has also been re-roofed. The original
windows are present, but the doors have been replaced. Concrete has been poured around the
north, west, and south elevations and the associated planters are framed with red brick.
Additional planters have been constructed around the residence and a large patio area have been
established to the west of the residence. This expanse, framed by a short block wall, consists of
poured concrete with inlaid red brick. While well maintained, this residence exhibits no significant
alterations, with the exception of the roof replacement and door replacements. It is a simple
structure with no outstanding design elements and no unique materials. It is a relatively late
addition to the property and not considered architecturally significant.
In April, 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 Arca-
dia Municipal Code (“The Development Code”), with an Exemption under the California Environ-
mental Quality Act (CEQA), to Implement a Historic Preservation Ordinance.” This Ordinance
was the result of numerous meetings, studies, and public comment.

The City of Arcadia Zoning Code, Section 9103.17 addresses Historic Preservation. Summarizing
the document, 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, Workmanship, Feeling, and Association). A resources (building, struc-
ture, object, or site) will be eligible for recognition 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 values;
4. It has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or
history of the city or state.
With respect to the integrity of the improvements at 1831 Lee Avenue, McKenna et al. has con-
cluded the following:
Location: Both residences are in their original locations, but also cover different
foot prints (both enlarged and altered);
Design: This residences and garage have been significantly altered through
additions, alterations, remodeling. There have been significant
changes to all three standing structures;
Setting: The setting of S. First Avenue has changed, with the demolition on at
least ten parcels for the 1959 school construction, the redevelopment
of at least five other properties, and alterations of other properties on
the frontage in this area. Approximately 50% of the frontage between
1234 and 1351 S. First Avenue, significantly impacting the neighbor-
hood and the 1930s-1940s developments.
Materials: The residences and garage appear to reflect some original materials,
but the extent of alterations and additions have impacted the pres-

ence/absence of original materials and compromised the architectural
integrity of all three structures.
Workmanship: This property was developed by John Anderson in 1939 and there
have been additions and alterations throughout the various owner-
ships. None of the owners/contractors have been identified as per-
sons of note with respect to workmanship. The improvements are rel-
atively simple and non-descript, failing to meet the intent of the crite-
rion.
Feeling: In general, “feeling” is subjective. In this case, S. First Avenue was
identified relatively late and not until after the 1910 mapping of Tract
No. 808. It was, however present for the 1930s developments identi-
fied along the roadway. . First Avenue was developed as a relatively
wide street and the two sides do not reflects the “neighborhood” feeling
experienced on some of the smaller/narrower roadways in the area.
The population also appears to be older in the 1930s and 1940s,
changing with the 1950s population growth and establishment of the
local middle school. The newer developments have impacted approx-
imately 50% of the area, further impacting the historic “feeling.” The
intent of “feeling” has not been met.
Association: This property is associated with the overall establishment of Tract No.
808 (ca. 1910), but not improved until much later. There is no specific
historic association has been identified – to persons, events, or spe-
cific designs. McKenna et al. has concluded the intent of “association”
has not been met.
With respect to the “integrity” of 1416-1418 S. First Avenue, McKenna et al. has concluded that
only one of the seven elements (criteria) have been met (Location). The remaining six have been
only partially met and, in some instances, not met at any level. Without the required “intent” of
the individual elements of “integrity,” the property lacks level of integrity necessary for consider-
ation as a historically significant resource.

Having failed to meet the “Integrity” requirement, it would be difficult for the property to be consid-
ered a local Landmark (or historical resource). Nonetheless, McKenna et al. addressed the four
main criteria for consideration:
1. It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad
patterns of Arcadia’s or California’s history?
McKenna et al. found no data to indicate this property is associated with any events
that meet the intent of this criterion. The only modest association that could be doc-
umented was that of the Tract No. 808 relationship. Such an association is not in
keeping with the intent of the local, state, or federal intent of this criterion. Therefore,
Criterion 1 does not apply to this property.
2. It is associated with the lives of persons important to local or California history?
McKenna et al. found no evidence to suggest this property is associated with any
person important to local or California history. Neither the developer (John Ander-
son) nor any of the subsequent owners/occupants of the property meet the intent of
this criterion and, therefore, Criterion 2 does not apply to this property.
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 values.
As noted above, the residences and garage at 1416-1418 S. First Avenue are rep-
resentative of a simple, minimal traditional architectural style with some minor Ranch
style elements (that were added in the 1950s). The materials are simple and the
construction exhibits no outstanding workmanship, unique or exotic materials, or
other outstanding design elements. There is no known architect identified. There
are no high artistic values and, overall, the modest improvements fail to meet the
minimum intent of Criterion 3 and, therefore, Criterion 3 does not apply.
4. It has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or
history of the city or state.

No evidence was found to suggest the property has a potential to yield any infor-
mation important in history or prehistoric (e.g. archaeology or paleontology). No
artifacts or fossils were identified during the property inspection. This does not pre-
clude the presence of buried resources, but at this time, McKenna et al. has con-
cluded Criterion 4 does not apply to this property.

In assessing the property at 1416-1418 S. First Avenue, Arcadia, McKenna et al. has de-
termined the property meets the minimum age requirement for consideration as a historical
resource or local Landmark, but fails to meet the minimum requirements for “integrity.” The
property also fails to meet any one of the four main criteria for consideration, as presented
above. Therefore, McKenna et al. has also concluded the property is not historically
significant, does not qualify as a local Landmark, and the potential demolition of
these improvements and redevelopment of the property will not result in any adverse
environmental impact.
