McKenna *Date August 16, 2019 X Continuation Update Unlike most studies for the City of Arcadia, the research and approach to 1111 and 1117 La Cadena Avenue involved addressing improvements that originated as free -standing residences, but, in the modern period (ca. 2002) were altered to reflect a single, larger building expanse. More specifically, 1111 La Cadena Avenue was improved in 1935, while 1117 La Cadena Avenue was improved in 1939. The architectural styles were completely different, built by different contractors, and were restricted to their individual parcels. Subsequently, with a single owner for both prop- erties (and others in the area), construction between the free-standing structures resulting on combining the improvements into a single, contiguous building with shared walls. In this record, McKenna et al. addresses the histories of the properties and the sequence in developments, but also addresses the individual building before and after the conjoining. Research confirmed the subject propertie s were was originally part of the historic Rancho Santa Anita, as mapped in 1858 (recorded in 1868), an owned by various individuals until it was acquired by Elias J. Baldwin (1828-1909). When mapped, the Rancho was owned by Henry Dalton and, later, by Harris Newmark. Elias J. “Lucky” Baldwin purchased the rancho from Newmark in 1875. In 1910, after his death, his heirs subdivided a portion of the rancho as Tract No. 950.The legal owners were listed as the “Elias J. Baldwin Estate” with John A. Grennan a nd R.C. O’Connor serving as trustees. In this case, the project area was identified as being within Lot 3 of Tract No. 950, defined to the south by County Road (Duarte Road); to the north by the S.P.R.R. right-of-way; to the east by Santa Anita Avenue; and to the west by the western boundary of the City of Arcadia. Lot 3 con- sisted of 151.39 acres in a roughly triangular shape – oriented east/west. This western boundary is now identified as the Baldwin Avenue alignment. As such, the project area was in the western portion of Lot 3. Tract 3430 was mapped in 1920 at the request of Rudolph H. Schwarzkopf, Anita M. Baldwin (E.J. Baldwin’s Daughter), and Otto E. Winkler. As mapped, this tract extended east of Baldwin Avenue and between Duarte Road and the northern boundary of lots facing Fairview Avenue. A total of 55 lots were identified. Arcadia Avenue had not yet been defined but would eventually extend from Baldwin Avenue to El Molino Avenue (now La Cadena Avenue) along the northern align- ments of Lots 38 and 41 to 48. Lots varied in size, given the dimensions of the Tract, and the area associated with 1111 La Cadena Avenue and 1117 La Cadena Avenue were within Lot 48 (and a fraction of Lot 47), bounded to the south by Duarte Road and later, to the north, by Arcadia Avenue.

When this Lot was subdivided, five lots were defined – with a small portion of Lot 47 being incorporated into the lot redefined as 509 Duarte Road. The five parcels defined within Lot 48 included: 509 Duarte Road (oriented north/south) Redeveloped in 1981 503 Duarte Road (oriented north/south) Redeveloped in 1979 1117 La Cadena Avenue (oriented east/west) Developed in 1939 1111 La Cadena Avenue (oriented east/west) Developed in 1935-36 1103 La Cadena Avenue (oriented east/west) Redeveloped in 1973 The subdivision of Lot 48 appears to have occurred in the mid-late 1930s and possibly as a result of financial issued raised by The Great Depression. In this case, it appears the first subdivision was for four parcels (1117 La Cadena was part of 503 Duarte Road) and owned by W.S. Bailey. All four properties were improved by 1936 -37, as follows: 509 Duarte Road Yoder 1937 503 Duarte Road Bailey 1937 1111 La Cadena Avenue Gillett 1936 1103 La Cadena Avenue Frost 1937 In 1939, W.S. Bailey constructed a second residence on this property – referred to in directories as 503 ½ Duarte Road. This property was used as income property until it was purchased by Hallie H. Foreman, widow of Ertie L. Foreman. With the purchase by Foreman, the propert y was assigned the street address of 1117 La Cadena Avenue.

The land associated with 1117 La Cadena Avenue was improved by W.S. Bailey and subsequently occupied by Eddie Collins and/or B.A. Gorham, until it was sold to Hallie H. Foreman in 1950. Hallie H. Forman was the widow of Ertie L. Forman (who died in 1949). She was living at 509 Duarte Road until the death of Ertie, selling the property to W.B. Finnegan and relo cating to the property on La Cadena Avenue. Hallie H. Foreman died in 1979, having sold the property to Victor Bruno in ca. 1972.

McKenna *Date August 16, 2019 X Continuation Update The improvements at 1111 La Cadena Avenue were completed by the Gilletts in 1936 and occu- pied by Lester and Grace until Lester’s death in 1940. Records indicate Grace Gillett sold the property to Hallie H. Forman, but remained on the property until at least 1963 as a renter. Sub- sequently, the property was rented to John (1894-1972) and Louie C. Reed (1906-1994). Follow- ing John W. Reed’s death, Louie C. Reed left the property and Hallie H. Foreman sold the property to Victor Bruno. Although 1103 La Cadena is not part of this study, it is worth noting the property was improved in 1937 by E.S. Front and immediately sold to William and Gertrude Baldwin. The Baldwins re- mained on the property until ca. 1963, when the property was sold to Kenneth Krohn. Krohn was responsible for the demolition of the existing residential improvements at 1103 La Cadena Avenue and sold the vacant lot to Victor Bruno. With this purchase in 1972, Victor Bruno also purchased 1111 and 1117 La Cadena Avenue. He was responsible for the redevelopment of 1103 La Ca- dena Avenue and still owns all three properties. The property at 1103 La Cadena Avenue is income property; Victor A. Bruno (83 ; b. 1935), widowed, lives at 1111 La Cadena Avenue, and 1117 La Cadena Avenue is occupied by Victor A. Bruno, Jr. (58). Rosine A. Bruno, the matriarch of the family, died in 2005. It was the Bruno family that conjoined the properties at 1111 sand 1117 La Cadena Avenue by connecting the residences. 1111 La Cadena Avenue Permits associated with 1111 La Cadena Avenue confirmed the construction by the Gilletts in 1935-36 (by C.P. Cassady). They pulled no additional permits. Hallie H. Foreman had the sewer connection completed in 1950 and, subsequent to 1989, Victor A. Bruno added a second bath- room to the residence and installed the A/C system. In 2000 he re-roofed the garage and resi- dence. In 2002, Bruno completed a 238 square foot bedroom addition with a “common wall” that confirms the conjoining of the two residences. At this same time, 2002, Victor A. and Rosine A. Bruno filed a covenant with the City of Arcadia and the County of Los Angeles to legally join the properties. Despite this undertaking, the two properties are still listed as individual properties by the Los Angeles County Assessor (two APNs). The residence at 1111 La Cadena Avenue was developed in an eclectic style of an English Coun- try cottage with staggered elevations; high pitched, cross-gable roof lines; and a tall chimney. Absent from this design is the exposed wood indicative of the Tudor architectural style.

The east eleva- tion, facing La Cadena Avenue, exhibits three staggered walls with the main entrance on the center wall. The southern extent extends the furthest east and is associated with a set of double hung sash windows. In this case, the original windows have been replaced by aluminum framed window with large, undivided panes. A solid wood panel is beneath the windows and the windows are flanked by decorative shutters that extend to the base of the wood panel. This suggests the size of the windows may have been altered to accommodate the size of the replacement windows. A canvas awning has been added above this set of windows. The center of the east elevation is dominated by the presence of a concrete stoop and porch area and the main entrance to the residence. A wrought iron railing runs the length of the porch. The door is recessed into the wall and flanked by solid stucco walls. This door is decorative, wood framed and dominated by a large stained glass panel. A small canvas awning provides additional shade to the entrance. To the north of the doorway is a small, recessed stained glass window placed in front of the original wood framed window. The northern wall of the east elevation is set back and beneath the north/south trending gable roof. Here, three large, fixed paned windows are present, exhibiting the original wood framing, but also exhibiting aluminum framing around the glass to indicate these panes have also been replaced. A third canvas awning provides shade to the window. Rain gutters are evident, as are the narrow eaves and squared corners. The north elevation of the residence is along the driveway and heavily vegetated. Extended awn- ing provide shade at the windows, all of which are aluminum framed replacements. There is a double hung sash window east of the chimney and another to the west of the chimney. The chimney is tall and stucco clad; tall enough to clear the high peak of the gable roof. West of thi s wall segment, the elevation recesses to the south a nd exhibits additional windows – two smaller and higher hung sash windows with aluminum framing. A support beam with simple 4 x 4 posts has been erected to provide additional support to the awning. The west elevation is more ornate, exhibiting a secondary entrance under a formal portico and a wide concrete stoop. A single sash window with aluminum framing is located to the north of this entrance. A matching window is located to the south of the entrance, but obscured by vegetation. The connection between the two residences is located to the south fo the portion of the 1111 La Cadena Avenue residence and accessed from the west via a concrete patio and a set of two, re- DPR 523L (2/19) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 19 of 88 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 1111/1117 La Cadena Ave., Arcadia, CA 91007 Recorded by: Jeanette A.

The roof appears to be flat, but is an allusion caused by a small parapet. The actual roof line on this portion of the residence is a north/south trending gable roof line con- necting with the roof at 1117 La Cadena Avenue. According to the permits, this addition covers 238 square feet, indicating is approximately 10 feet wide and 24 feet deep (assuming ten feet between the original residences). This addition is not readily visible from the est elevation, as significant foliage overs the area. The stucco cladding on this residence is in good condition and appears to have been resurfaced, as there are no noticeable earthquake hair fractures of settlement cracks. The residence is neatly painted and well maintained. Overall, the residence has been subjected to alterations and/or maintenance including, but not limited to:  Bedroom Addition (2002)  Re-roofing (2000)  Bathroom Addition (1999)  A/C Installation (1999)  Electrical Upgrades (1989)  Resurfacing with stucco (flat)  Replacement of Original Windows with Aluminum Framed Windows  Replacement of the Original Front Door  Addition of Canvas Awnings  Addition of Trellis Support for Awnings The garage at 1111 La Cadena Avenue is located to the rear of the lot – nearer the northwestern corner, but not on the western boundary. This garage is relatively large and appears to have been enlarged (extended to the south). The original garage is a t wo-car garage with an east- facing bay door and an east/west trending gable roof (re -roofed in 2000). The extension to the south exhibits an extension of the roof, but at a lesser slope. The bay door has been replaced with a solid expanse of pressed wood and appears to be fixed (no longer opens). The south elevation runs along a landscaped yard and patio area and exhibits a modern (vinyl) door that opens to the outside. There are two aluminum slider windows west of the door, along with vines and decorative plants. The west elevation exhibit a single window with a window-mount A/C unit, indicating this is useable space and not just for storage.

In 1998, he re-roofed the residence and garage. The block wall surrounding the property was installed by Bruno in 2002. This was roughly at the same time he was completing the addition to the adjacent residence. The residence at 1117 La Cadena Avenue is a Minimal Traditional bungalow dating to 1939. Built for W.S. Bailey by J.F. Stanford, this residence was occupied for a short time by actor Eddie Collins. Edward Bernard Collins (1883-1940), died at the age of 57. A native of New Jersey, h e began his career in vaudeville and came west to enter the motion picture industry. He was rela- tively successful, starring in over a dozen files and doing voice work (e.g. the voice of Dopey in the Walt Disney production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarf s (ca. 1937). He died of a heart attack. Although he lived on the property in 1940, there was no evidence to indicate he actually purchased the property. As built, this residence was/is a single story, wood framed structure with a stucco finish and a hipped-gable roof. The structure appears, from the aerial photograph, to be square, but it is ac- tually more rectangular in shape, with a covered porch on the southeastern corner (beneath the contiguous roof line. The square shape is indicated by the addition between the two residences. This residence was built on a raised foundation and appears to exhibit its original massing, save the addition between the structures. The east elevation (facing La Cadena Avenue, is “L” shaped, DPR 523L (2/19) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 21 of 88 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 1111/1117 La Cadena Ave., Arcadia, CA 91007 Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date August 16, 2019 X Continuation Update given the presence of the covered porch. To the north, the elevation is flat and exhibits a single, double hung sash window with 6:6 panes. The wood framing is narrow and accentuated to flank- ing shutters with flaring tops. A small circular window with four pie-shaped panes is located nearer the porch, providing ambient light to the entryway. The front door actually faces south, beneath the roof overhang and on the concrete porch. The porch was originally designed as an open porch with a wooden railing. It has since been enclosed with screening, providing both privacy and protection from insects. The door to the enclosed porch also faces south, and is associated with a concrete stoop (4 steps). The existing door is a modern, iron security door with the screening designed to complete the enclosure. Wrapping to the south elevation, there is a double hung sash window (aluminum trim) and a sconce to the east of the red brick chimney. The chimney extends well above the roof eave, attesting to the relative height of the actual roof. Dense vegetation obscures much of the south elevation (and along the driveway) but additional windows are evident (aluminum framed) and the southwestern corner of the residence exhibits a squared room that extends south of the remainder of the building. The eaves are modest and closed. The west elevation is a flat expanse with a corner window of aluminum framing and a rear en- trance consisting of a wood framed door with a large, single and fixed pane. T his door opens out and onto a small concrete stoop (one step). A canvas awning has been erected above this door- way. North of the doorway is another window. In this case, the original wood framed, double hung casement window (1:1) is present, exhibiting the original sill. Further to the west, another window, double hung sash (6:6) exhibiting the original wood framing. This window lacks relief from the stucco siding. North of this window, the elevation extends to the west, exhibiting a south facing stucco wall with another original window. Continuing along the west elevation, the modern A/C unit is ground-mounted and obscured by dense vegetation. The elevation recesses again, and exhibits a single, double hung sash window with the original wood framing. Extending west again, this elevation exhibits a south -facing door surrounded by ivy. Similar to the secondary door nearer the south extent, this door is hinged and also opens outward. There is a small, two-step stoop. Oddly, the door opens to the west, making entering and exiting difficult.

A cement outdoor fireplace is located on the west elevation. This feature appears to be a more recent addition to the property (modern). Wrapping around to the north elevation, a sloid wall covered in ivy is evident, eventually meeting the addition between the t wo residences and obscur- ing the original north elevation. Given the variations in walls on the west elevation, the structure is not truly rectangular, but irregular in shape and still reflecting the original design of the resi- dence. The garage is located in the southwestern corner of this property. As a shorter property, this garage is near the property boundaries. The garage is a two -car garage with two bay doors separated by a support column. The wood framed garage is finished with stucco and exhibit s a north/south trending gable roof. The bay doors face east and consist of aluminum doors on spring hinges. These aluminum doors are not new, but have replaced the original wooden doors and appear to be fairly old – possibly darting to the 1970s or 1980s. The south elevation nis a flat expanse on the property line and exhibits no windows or doors. Similarly, the west elevation is a solid expanse. The north elevation of the garage is visible from the rear yard and exhibits the high peaked roof and an off-centered (to the west), four paned (2”2) fixed window with the original wood framing. Despite a lack of permits, alterations to this residence have been noted and in- clude, but not necessarily limited to:  Re-roofing(1998)  Electrical Upgrades (1972)  Re-surfacing of the Stucco  Replacement of some of the original Windows with Aluminum Framed Windows  The Addition of an Awning on the West Elevation  Enclosing of the Front Porch  Installation of a Security Door on the Porch  Installation of a Security Gate on the Driveway  Replacement of the Garage Bay Doors Overall, this residence is in very good condition, has been maintained and, with the exception of the alterations noted above, reflects much of the original design and “look” of the 1939 construc- tion.

At the time of this investigation, the gardener was on site and noted the owners take great pride in the landscaping and keep him very busy. There is a potter’s shed with gardening materials to the rear of 1103 La Cadena Avenue, and part of the garage space is also available. An iron fence runs the length of the rear yards, forming a boundary between the residences, but not on the actual property line. EVALUATION/ASSESSMENT In April, 2019, the City of Arcadia adopted Ordinance No. 2359: An Ordinance of the City Coun- cil 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 u nder the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), to implement a Historic Preservation Ordinance.” This Or- dinance was the result of numerous meetings, studies, and public comment. The City of Arcadia Zoning Code, Section 9103.17, addresses Historic Preservation. Summa- rizing 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 Code, it is general practice to also address the “integrity” of the resource before addressing the four main criteria for eligibility. The seven elements of “integrity” are listed in the State and Federal guidelines, and include: Location, Design, Setting, Materials, Workmanship, Feeling, and Asso ciation. In addressing the four main criteria, only one is needed to determine a resource is eligible for recognition as a History Landmark. These criteria are: 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; DPR 523L (2/19) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 24 of 88 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 1111/1117 La Cadena Ave., Arcadia, CA 91007 Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date August 16, 2019 X Continuation Update 4. It has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehis- tory 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, Set- ting, Materials, Workmanship, Feeling, and Association). Once “Integrity” is addressed, a re- source (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 1111 and 1117 La Cadena Avenue are in their original locations. The residences and garages date to 1935 and 1939, respectively, and the addition that connects the residences dates to 2002. This connection is not readily visible from the street (obscured by vegetation), and does impact the properties slightly, but not to the extent that the properties fail to meet the intent of the criterion. Overall, the minimal intent of the “Location” element HAS BEEN MET. Design: The residences and garages appear, for the most part, to reflect their original designs. There has been a significant alteration in the form of the addition that conjoins the residences. However, this is reversible and has not im- pacted the majority of the buildings. In general, the absolute minimal intent of the “Design” element HAS BEEN MET, although there have been adverse impacts. Setting: The “neighborhood” surrounding this property was originally designed in the 1930s and 1940s. However, the two residential properties at 1111 and 1117 La Cadena Avenue are the sole remaining examples of the early develop- ments. Properties to the north, south, east and west have been redeveloped as multi-family, multi-story complexes that dwarf these properties and have resulted in a loss of the original setting. As such, the “Setting” has essentially destroyed and the minimal intent of the “Setting” element HAS NOT BEEN MET.

McKenna *Date August 16, 2019 X Continuation Update Materials: As previously noted, both residences and garages have been subjected to changes and alterations. The most significant include the re-roofing, re-sur- facing, replacement of windows, the addition of awnings, security doors, and the large addition between the residences. While the interiors may still reflect much of the original materials (e.g. framing, inte rior walls, etc.), the exteriors have materials have been replaced or covered. Permits only references some of these changes. These changes and/or replacement of the original materials have adversely impacted the properties with respect to “Materials” and McKenna et al. has concluded the minimal intent of this element HAS NOT BEEN MET. Workmanship: No evidence was found to indicate the workmanship associated with the im- provements at 1111 and 1117 La Cadena Avenue are out of the ordinary or anything but standard for their period. The improvements were completed in differing years and by different contractors. The improvements are n ot the work of any master craftsman, known architect, or artisan. Standard materials were used and there are no outstanding or unique design elements. As such, the minimal intent of the “Workmanship” element HAS NOT BEEN MET. Feeling: “Feeling” is subjective. Nonetheless, when entering a neighborhood, the feel- ing that you are in an area representative of the period of significance (e.g. the 1930 or early 1940s) should stand out. In this case, that “feeling” has been lost through the modern redevelopment of the properties surrounding these two properties. The historic area has been adversely impacted by mod- ern improvements; the area would not qualify as a “district.” McKenna et al. has concluded the area no longer maintains a “feeling” of the 1930s-1940s, therefore, the intent of this element HAS NOT BEEN MET. Association: Research failed to associate this property with any historical event or per- son(s) in local, regional, state, or national history. The short occupation by Eddie Collins would not quality 1117 La Cadena Avenue residence. There is no associated with any recognized architect of note and no association with any significant craftsman or artisan. No unique materials were incorporated into the improvements. The property has not been associated with any scien- tific find or exhibited any potential for the presence of scientifically significant DPR 523L (2/19) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 26 of 88 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 1111/1117 La Cadena Ave., Arcadia, CA 91007 Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date August 16, 2019 X Continuation Update resources (archaeological or paleontological). Therefore, the minimal intent of this element HAS NOT BEEN MET. Overall, in reviewing the “Integrity” of this property, McKenna et al. determined only two of the seven elements of integrity apply to these properties, rendering both a status of having lost their integrity. Properties lacking architectural integrity are generally not eligible for recognition as Historic Landmarks. Nonetheless, McKenna et al. did complete the evaluation of the prop- erties in accordance with the four main criteria used for federal, state, and local eligibility. These four criteria are defined by the Office of Historic Preservation, Sacramento, and have been adopted by the City of Arcadia. Final Assessment McKenna et al. completed the assessment of the property with respect to the standard federal and CEQA criteria, as well as the criteria of the City of Arcadia, as noted above. The follow conclusions are presented: 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 the City of Arcadia or California history. Therefore, the property is not eligible for recognition under this criterion. 2. It is associated with the lives of persons important to local or California his- tory; No evidence was found to suggest to connect this property to any significant persons in the City of Arcadia or California history. Therefore, the property is not eligible for recognition under this criterion. 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; DPR 523L (2/19) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 27 of 88 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 1111/1117 La Cadena Ave., Arcadia, CA 91007 Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date August 16, 2019 X Continuation Update The two properties exhibit differing styles of architecture: 1111 La Cadena Avenue is an eclectic form of an English Country cottage and the residence at 1117 La Cadena Avenue is a Minimal Traditions bungalow. As an eclectic form, 1111 La Cadena Avenues is not considered characteristic of a type, period, etc., but representative of an individual design consistent with the owner’s preferences and subjected to alterations and additions. In the case of 1117 La Cadena Avenue, the Minimal Tradition classification is a widely generic form of architecture that can be found, with many variations, thr ough- out the United States. Without being part of an identified District, such ar- chitectural examples are not considered significant. Taking all data into account, McKenna et al. has determined these properties are not eligi- ble for recognition under this criterion. 4. It has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the pre- history 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 govern- ments. The property is considered clear of such resources and, therefore, the property is not eligible for recognition under this criterion. Summary McKenna et al. has concluded the improvements at 1111 and 1117 La Cadena Avenue have failed to maintain their respective architectural integrity and, therefore, would not be eligible for recognition as Historic Landmarks. In addition, McKenna et al. has concluded the properties fail to meet the minimum requirements for recognition under the four main criteria for consid- eration, as defined in the various federal, state, and local policies and guidelines. McKenna et al. and assigned these properties a status code of “6Z” each and considers them clear of any significant cultural resources, as defined. The properties are not cur- rently listed on the City’s listing of individually recognized properties and McKenna et al. has concluded they would not qualify for listing. Any proposed alterations or rede- velopment of the properties would not result in an adverse environmental impacts, as defined in the federal, state, and local policies and guidelines.
