Longden Avenue, Arcadia, CA 91006 Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date June 15, 2019 Continuation X Update McKenna et al. complete an architectural assessment of the property at 510 E. Longden Avenue, Arcadia, CA., on March 11, 2019. Shortly thereafter, 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 numerous meetings, stud- ies, and public comments received through 2017-2019. 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 to the basic Ordinance, the improve- ments 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). Once “Integrity” is addressed, a resources (building, structure, object, or site) will be considered for 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. INTEGRITY Location: The improvements at 510 E. Longden Avenue remain in the same loca- tion, including the residence and garage. A pool has been added, along with concrete pads, lessening the rear yard landscaping. The intent of this criterion has been met. Design: The original design of the residence has been significantly altered with the addition of new roofing tiles (replacing wood shake); resurfacing with stucco; redesign of the main entrance and porch; all windows have been DPR 523L (5/19) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 2 of 4 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 510 E.

The residential improvements have been compro- mised and the criterion has not been met. Setting: Longden Avenue is a relatively major roadway in southern Arcadia. While there are many original residences along the alignment east of Santa Anita Avenue, there are also redeveloped lots. Improvements to Longden Avenue have resulted in some impacts to the overall setting and, as in the case of 510 E. Longden Avenue, improvements or altera- tions to the original residential improvements have also compromised the setting. McKenna et al. has concluded the setting has been com- promised and this criterion has not been met. Materials: As noted above, there have been significant changes to this property and many of the original materials have been replaced by modern ma- terials (ca. 2006). As such, the intent of this criterion has not been met. Workmanship: No evidence was found to suggest the workmanship applied to this prop- erty was other than standard. There is no known architect; no noted craftsman or contractor; no unique or exotic materials used; and no out- standing design elements. The intent of this criterion 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-WWI population growth and population boom of the later 1940s and 1950s) should stand out. In this case, that “feeling” has been compromised by alterations to original building and the redevelopment of whole lots. The sole improvement in the area that is of note is the 1926 residence east of 510 E. Longden (opposite Lenta Lane) at 516 E. Longden Ave- nue. Its present is the sole remaining evidence of the pre-WWII im- provements. Overall, the area lacks the “feeling” necessary to consider this area intact and reflective of the time of major improvements.

Longden Avenue, Arcadia, CA 91006 Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date June 15, 2019 Continuation X Update Association: McKenna et al. could not associated the improvements at 510 E. Long- den Avenue with any person of note; any event of note; any significant architect, craftsman, contractor, or designer/artisan; nor could it be as- sociated with any evidence of prehistoric or historic scientific value. As such, the criterion of “association” has not been met. Overall, the review of “Integrity” found the property at 510 E. Longden Avenue met only one of the seven elements/criteria of “Integrity.” Lacking the majority of criteria, McKenna et al. has concluded the property lacks the required integrity to be considered a historical resource and eligible for local, state, or federal levels of listing as a historical resource. FINAL ASSESSMENT Despite the lack of integrity for the property at 510 E. Longden Avenue, McKenna et al. completed the assessment of the property with respect to the standard CEQA criteria. 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, this criterion does not apply. 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 per- sons in Arcadia or California history. Therefore, this criterion does not apply. 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; The residence and garage at 510 E.

The improvements have not been associated with any known architect, craftsman, or contractor. Further, no exotic or unique materials were used and there are no outstanding design elements. Overall, the intent of this criterion has not been met. 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 sig- nificant scientific information to Arcadia, the state, or the federal governments. The property is highly disturbed and, despite this disturbance, no evidence of bur- ied resources was identified. The property is considered clear of such resources and, therefore, the intent of this criterion has not been met. SUMMARY This addendum was prepared as a supplemental assessment associated with the earlier DPR - 523 forms prepared for 510 E. Longden Avenue, Arcadia, CA (McKenna 2019; March 11, 2019). Prepared to meet the current City of Arcadia data requirements, this addendum should be at- tached to the earlier documentation and considered a part of the overall record. AS previously noted, the improvements at 510 E. Longden Avenue lack “Integrity” and fail to meet any of the four major criteria for consideration as a historical resource eligible for listing on any of the local, state, or federal registers. McKenna et al. considers the property clear of any significant cultural resources and the redevelopment of this property will not result in an adverse environmental impact.

Improvements in this area were dominated by post-WWII construction, when the city expanded to meet the needs of the growing Southern California population and affordable housing for the growing middle-class working population with young and expanding families. Residences were constructed on vacant lots individually purchased and planned. Owners hired their own planners, designers, or contractors, resulting in a community of individually designed residences with design elements indicative of the original owners’ tastes. Construction was completed by permits, but date to the period post-dating the preparation of the standard Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps. Improvement description are based on the Assessor data, permit files, and/or on-site visual inspection. B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List Attributes and Codes) None *B12.

Longden Avenue is cross-referenced by the Los Angeles County Assessor as APN 5790-023-001. This property is located on the southwest corner of Longden Avenue (originally Walnut Avenue) and Lenta Lane. The Assessor currently describes the prop- erty as: “Tract # 8994 Lot com at NW cor of Lot 1 th S on W line of sd Lot to N line of TR # 17698 th E on sd N line to W line of Lenta Ln th N to S line of Longden Ave th W on se S line to beg part of Lot 1.” Historically, this area was within the traditional territories of the Gabrielino/Tongva, the Native American population that dominated present-day Los Angeles County. During the Spanish and Mexican periods, this area was under the jurisdiction of the Mission San Gabriel de Arcangel and dominated by cattle grazing and modest agricultural activities. Following the separation of Mexico from Spain, the Mexican government began a program designed to secularize t he Missions in Alta California (1824 to 1834). The lands of the Mission San Gabriel de Arc angel were reclaimed by the government and reissued, in part, as large land grants to persons who served the govern- ment (military or civil). As such, this particular landed within the historic Rancho Santa Anita and near the boundaries of the Rancho San Francisquito and Rancho Azusa (Dalton). Rancho Santa Anita was granted to Hugo Reid, an immigrant to California in 1832. Reis married an educated Native American woman of high standing and became a Mexican citizen. Subse- quently, in 1841, he was granted the Rancho Santa Anita by Mexican Governor Alvarado. The grant was reaffirmed in 1845 by Governor Pio Pico. The grant, originally consisting of 13,319.06 acres and covered areas now associated with, but not limited to, the cities of Sierra Madre, San Marino, Arcadia, and Monrovia. Reid sold his rancho to Henry Dalton in 1847(Dalton acquired many acres in Los Angeles County) and Dalton sold the rancho to Joseph A. Rowe in 1854. In 1858, after suffering financial losses, Rowe sold the rancho to Albert Dibblee, William Corbitt and Mr. Barker (as summarized by Zack 2009). After this consortium sold off some portions of the rancho, the remaining 11,000 acres were sold to William Wolfskill. Wolfskill (the elder) transferred ownership of the rancho to his son and daughter-in-law, Lewis Wolfskill (the younger) and Louisa Dalton (daughter of Henry Dalton) by 1866. Wolfskill (the younger) eventually sold approximately 8,500 acres to Harris Newmark (a businessman in Los Angeles) in 1875. Newmark, in turn, sold his rancho lands to Elias J. “Lucky” Baldwin. Baldwin, and later, his daughter (Anita), maintained and improved the rancho, eventually subdividing and selling properties for development.

McKenna *Date March 11, 2019 X Continuation Update In this case, the current project area is associated with the southernmost portion of the rancho (Township 1 South, Range 3 West, Section 3) and within an area referred to as the “Santa Anita Tract” (ca. 1883), as directed by Elias Baldwin. The property was within the area identified as Lot 6 of the Santa Anita Tract, a 23+ acre property bounded to the south by “County Road” (now Live Oak Avenue) and surrounded by other defined lots (no road development). In 1891, Baldwin mapped the Santa Anita Colony, bounded by Santa Anita Avenue (west); County Road (south); Duarte Road (north); and Second Avenue (east). The lands east of Second Avenue remained as mapped in 1883. In 1906, the area east of Santa Anita Avenue was known as the Arcadia Acreage Tract and sub- divided into 157+ properties. The current project area was within Lot 110, bounded to the north by Walnut Avenue (Longden Avenue) and to the east by Sixth Avenue). The Lot consisted of approximately 10 acres (911 feet by 885 fee t). Prior to 1925, lands to the east of Second Avenue and west of Sixth Avenue were being sold and some were subjected to subdivision. Here, the Sanborn Fire Insurance Map Company reassigned Lot 110 a reference number of 377 and, due to the lack of improveme nts, did not include individual property mapping. Tract No. 8994 was mapped in 1925, at the request of the Granite Savings Bank, representing the owners (George A. Gierlich, George W. McMakin, and Eva A. McMakin). When delineated, Tract No. 8994 was bounded to the north by Walnut Avenue (now Longden Avenue) and to the east by Sixth Avenue. The property measured 410.92 feet (E/W) by 799.46 feet (N/S) and consisted of seven parcels. Parcels 1 and 2 fronted Walnut Avenue (Longden Avenue) and each consisted of 1.62 acres (205.46 feet (E/W) by 342.62 feet (N/S). The current property (510 E. Longden Avenue) was within the area defined as Lot 1, although not yet specif- ically delineated. No street alignment separated Lots 1 and 2. Lot 2 was developed in 1926 and current later cross-referenced as 516 E. Longden Avenue. To the west of Tract No. 8994 is Tract No. 14359, mapped in 1946. This tract was mapped at the request of the owners: Henry C. Forsyth, A. Boyd Forsyth; Charles M. Pierson; William R. Brestrer; Hallie E. Brester; et al. All of Parcel 20, 21, and 22, along with a portion of Parcel 19 of Tract No. 14359 abutted Parcel 1 of Tract No. 8994 and defined the western boundary of Parcel 1. In March of 1953, Tract No. 17698 and Tract No. 18787 were mapped and filed. Tract No. 17698 consisted of four parcels and the establishment of Lenta Lane. Parcel 1 was due south of the current project area, resulting in the definition of the definition of 510 Longden Avenue (80 feet by DPR 523L (2/19) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 17 of 52 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 510 E.

Parcel 2 was south of Parcel 1 and Parcels 3 and 4 were on the east side of Lenta Lane. As such, Parcels 1 and 2 were in the southern portion of Lot 1 and Parcels 3 and 4 in the southern portion of Lot 2. Walnut Avenue was now referred to as Longden Avenue (since ca. 1948). Tract No. 18787 was a remapping of Tract No. 17698, extending the subdivision further south and renumbering the parcels as 1 through 10, with Parcel 5 (originally (Parcel 1) now being due south of 510 E. Longden Avenue. As such, 510 E. Longden Avenue and 516 E. Longden Avenue were specifically omitted from the various subdivision s, indicating ione owner held Lots 1 and 2 before selling the southern portions and maintaining ownership of the properties fronting Longden Avenue (between 1925 and 1953). Without improvements, the property at 510 E. Longden Avenue had no street address before 1952-1953. The omission of Lots 1 and 2 suggested the owner(s) may have plans to keep both properties for future sale and return. They were dealt with as a unit, being owed and sold as a unit. Interestingly, Lot 2 (to the east), was developed shortly after the mapping of Tract No. 8994. In 1926, a single family residence was constructed on the property. Two owners were listed for 1926 – J.O. Urban and R.W. Davenport. It is not clear who did the improving of the property. Regard- less, the property changed hands at least three times between ca. 1926 and 1949. In 1930, Joseph H. and Isabell W. Abbott were listed as the owners. In 1934, Clarence and Ruth Hawkins owned the property. They held the property until 1948. In 1949, W allace W. Bell owned the property (Lot 2) and also owned Lot 1, again indicating the two properties were held as a single unit. Bell lived at 516 E. Longden Avenue, in the 1926 residence. By 1953, the two properties were separated by the establishment of Lenta Lane , per the tracts to the south. Wallace W. and Velsa Q. Bell were still living at 516 E. Longden Avenue in 1950 (per directories), but do not appear in later directorie s. Bell is credited with the initial improvements to Lot 1, but apparently never lived in the residence. Assuming Bell was living at 516 E. Longden between 1949 and 1952, he apparently built the residence at 510 E. Longden Avenue as an investment property and, upon its completion, sold both properties and left the area. Also interestingly, a young woman by the name of Willie Bell appears as a “domestic” working at 517 E. Longden Avenue in 1953. McKenna et al. suggests Willie Bell is the daughter of Wallace and Velsa Bell and took a job with a neighbor when her parents opted to leave the area. Permits show Bell improved 510 E. Longden in 1952 on a lot measuring 70.46 feet by 115 feet (the remaining ten feet being dedicated to street widening or other lot line adjustments. With the establishment of Lenta Lane, this property was located in the northwestern corner of Lot 1 and, DPR 523L (2/19) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 18 of 52 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 510 E.

By 1958, the property was owned by William R. Brown, who is credited with installing the in- ground pool. No permits were issued between 1958 and 1974, when the owner was listed as “Cadwallader.” “Rice” owned the property in 1995 and in 2006, the owners were Peter and Julia Hsieh. The listed owner in 1009 was Quee S. Mah. With the exception of re -roofing (1995 and 2006), no major construction or alterations were indicated by the permits. Assuming no other owners, between 1958 and 2006, the property changed hands on an average of 20 year intervals. A review of the improvements on adjacent properties showed the following dates of improve- ments: 2200 5th Avenue 1949 2214 Lenta Lane 1953-1956 2215 Lenta Lane 1955-1975 2222 Lenta Lane 1955 2223 Lenta Lane 1953 2230 Lenta Lane 1953 2231 Lenta Lane 1953 500 E.

Longden Avenue 1926-1927 Of the 14 identified properties, two have been recently redeveloped and only one (516 E. Longden Avenue) pre-dates 1949 (by over 20 years). The rest of the properties are all post-WWII improve- ments that coincide with the subdivision mapping and are predominantly 1949 to 1953 improve- ments. They are all single family residences and exhibit individual designs. A recent visual examination of the improvements at 510 E. Longden Avenue confirmed the im- provements as a single family residence with an attached garage and in -ground swimming pool. In addition, an above-ground sauna/spa has been added to the property and the front yard (corner lot) is well landscaped. The rear yard is dominated by the pool and a concrete patio. There is little to no landscaping. The 1952 residence constructed by Wallace W. Bell is a rectangular structure with a two car garage attached to the residence by a small storage unit and a contiguous roof expanse. The DPR 523L (2/19) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 19 of 52 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 510 E. Longden Avenue, Arcadia, CA 91006 Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date March 11, 2019 X Continuation Update residence faces Longden Avenue, while the main entry faces Lenta Lane. The garage is located south of the residence and on the eastern side of the lot. The bay door faces Lenta Lane. The small storage unit is located between the residence and garage, exhibiting an exterior access door on the west elevation. The residence is a wood frames structure on a slightly raised foundations and exhibits a hipped roof design with relatively wide eaves. The roofing materials are modern Malibu tiles dating to ca. 2006. The siding of the residence and garage is primarily stucco, but a skirt of tile facing h as been added to the north, east, and south elevations. In addition, the front entry has been rede- signed to include large, decorative columns supporting the covered porch roof. The porch, itself, has been paved with large, square tiles and designed to extent past the roof line overhang. A concrete walk leads from the porch to the Longden Avenue curb and the eastern side of the property has been paved with concrete, providing additional parking. All of the windows on the residence and garage have been replaced by modern, vinyl framed windows (no permits) and the front door is a modern replacement. Permits indicate these changes were done in ca. 2006 and noted by the City officials. Th e stucco siding appears to have been resurfaced, likely at the time the skirting was added (also in ca. 2006). There is a secondary door on the south elevation of the residence, accessed via a single step, concrete stoop. The door, covered by a security screen door, is also a replacement door. The entire rear yard is dominated by poured concrete (patio and pool decking). There is an iron fence separating the patio area from the pool. The pool, itself, is an elongated, in -ground pool, that that extends from near the western property boundary to the area south of the garage. The spas is east of the pool, also on a concrete pad. The rear yard is bounded to the south and west by a concrete block wall and the east side, along Lenta Lane, is bounded by a modern, vinyl, prefabricated fence. The garage is a standard two-car garage with a hipped roof and an east-facing bay door. The door is a modern replacement door and there is additional tile skirting on the south elevation of the garage. There is no secondary (exterior) entrance to the garage, but the north facing window may be representative of the door being replaced by a window. Access may also be made via the storage unit. The driveway is on the east side of the garage and a chain-action gate extends across the driveway nearer the curb.

Longden Avenue, Arcadia, CA 91006 Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date March 11, 2019 X Continuation Update There is one gate located on the driveway – accessing the pool area via a break in the prefabri- cated fencing. As noted, to the north of the driveway, the property is dominated by a large con- crete pad that provides additional off -street parking. A lot, iron fence bounds the eastern and northern yards; located approximately eight feet west of the curb on Lenta Lane and eight to ten feet from the Longden Avenue curb. On the east side, the area between the fence and curb is covered in grass and exhibits mature trees. Along the Longden Avenue frontage, there is grass bisected by a concrete sidewalk. There are no trees along the curb, but yo ung and mature trees within the fenced yard. The yard is dominated by grass, but also exhibits decorative vegetation along the western property boundary and within planters fronting the residence. The yard is well maintained, though the iron fence is in poor condition. In assessing this property for historical significance, McKenna et al. applied the four basic criteria presented in the federal and state guidelines (NHPA and CEQA), as well as local guidelines and policies. Research failed to associated this property or the respective improvements with any historically significant event (Criterion A) or historically significant person (Criterion B). Similarly, there was no evidence of any prehistoric or paleontological resources needed to suggest research potential (Criterion D). With respect to Criterion C (architecture), the property was not associated with any significant architect or designer. The contractor was the property owner (who also owned the adjacent prop- erty). The improvements are considered relatively simple, using basic construction materials and with few historic design elements. The residence and garage have been subjected to significant alterations – both permitted and not permitted. In this case, the roof has been replaced at least twice; the front entry has been redesigned. The surfaces of the residences and garage have been redone – with stucco and tile skirting. All of the windows and doors have been replaced with modern materials (predominantly vinyl). While the floor plan remains the same, the current resi- dence is not indicative of the structure designed in 1952. It lacks architectural integrity and, there- fore, does not qualify for historical recognition under Criterio n C. As such, McKenna et al. has concluded the property lacks the architectural integrity needed to be considered histori- cally significant and, more importantly, fails to meet the minimum intent of all four criteria listed in the federal, state, and local guidelines. Therefore, any additional alterations, con- struction, or potential demolition and/or redevelopment of the property will not result in any adverse environmental impacts. The improvements have been assigned a Status Code of 6Z. Overview of E. Longden Avenue, Arcadia, CA (W) Overview of E. Longden Avenue, Arcadia, CA (E) Residence at 500 E.
