*P3a. Description:
According to Los Angeles County Assessor and City of Arcadia Building Permit records, the property at 26 West Winnie Way
is a one-story, single-family residence that was constructed in 1952, and it has remained relatively unchanged since that time.
The house was designed in a modest variation of Contemporary Ranch style architecture with the design emphasizing a long,
low, horizontal profile, with the main front entrance on the north elevation. The building has a low-pitch, hip roof system with
wide overhanging eaves, and was built with an attached garage in a “U”-plan. The house is comprised of 1,545 square feet of
living space, and is set on the lot in a east-west orientation. A concrete driveway runs along the eastern boundary of the
property from the street to the garage. The front entrance is situated in a recessed area under the eaves. A large brick chimney
projects from the eastern portion of the front elevation, and the detail of the red brick of the chimney is carried across the
façade under a window unit comprised of a five-foot long center unit with flanking sash windows on each side. All the original
windows were replaced with modern composite units at some point in time. The house is clad with a stucco finish, and sits on
a poured concrete foundation. (See Continuation Sheet for additional text.)

The City of Arcadia (City) is situated on lands that once were part of the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel lands in 1771, and were granted to
Hugo Reid and his wife Victoria Bartolomea in 1845, who established Rancho Santa Anita. After the great drought in California in the 1860s,
many ranchos, including Rancho Santa Anita, were sold to pay debts incurred from overextending their cattle raising operations. Elias Jackson
“Lucky” Baldwin bought 8,000 acres of the old rancho lands in 1875. Baldwin established a country estate and lived in a large house with his
fourth wife and their children. He assisted in getting the Atchison Topeka Santa Fe (ATSF) Railroad Company to run their San Gabriel Valley
line to the small town of Arcadia that had been established on Baldwin’s lands. The City was established in 1903, with Baldwin as its first
mayor.
The City retained much of its rural origins of small scale farming and chicken ranches up to the late 1930s, when the area became more
accessible by the Pacific Electric Railway and automobile roadways, for people working in downtown Los Angeles. Tracts of land began to be
developed for middle-income families, with the construction of small (~1,000 square feet) single-family residences, set on generous sized lots
from 7,000 to 24,000 square feet. Builders would purchase tracts of land, and build houses one-at-a-time on individual lots for the new
owners.
After the end of World War II, throughout Southern California, millions of acres of agricultural land were converted into use for residential
housing tracts. The City of Arcadia was no exception, and the population in the City jumped 150% from 1940 to 1950. Between 1950 and
1970, the population continued to increase just short of 100%. “More than 40 million housing units were built in the United States during the
30 year period following the end of World War II, and at least 30 million of these were single-family houses.” (Caltrans 2011)

B10. Statement of Significance, continued:
According to City building permits, the house was constructed by the development company of Shepherd & McDonald. Mrs.
Lillian (Pigg) Scrivner was the first owner of the house in 1952, and she lived at 26 W. Winnie Way until she passed away in 1996.
In 1954, Mrs. Scrivner is noted in the City Directory as being employed by Butane Tank Company, in Los Angeles.
Using the “City of Arcadia, Citywide Historic Context Statement” (ARG 2016), the property at 26 West Winnie Way is being
evaluated under the context and theme of Postwar Residential Development 1945 – 1970.
Pursuant to Criterion A of the National Register of Historic Places (National Register), Criterion 1 of the California Register of
Historical Resources (California Register), and Criterion 1 of the City of Arcadia’s Designation for Historic Landmark status (per
Article IX, Chapter 1, Section 9103.17 of the Zoning Code (Arcadia HD), the property at 26 West Winnie Way does not appear to
be associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history in Arcadia, Los Angeles
County, or California.
Pursuant to Criterion B of the National Register, Criterion 2 of the California Register, and Criterion 2 of the Arcadia HD, the
property at 26 West Winnie Way does not appear to be associated with the lives of persons significant in the history of Arcadia,
Los Angeles County, or California.
Pursuant to Criterion C of the National Register, Criterion 3 of the California Register, and Criterion 3 of the Arcadia HD, the
property at 26 West Winnie Way does not appear eligible for listing as a historical resource. The house reflects an example of a
Contemporary Ranch style of house design that was very popular with tract housing developers after World War II. A
Contemporary Ranch style house can be as simple or as architecturally sophisticated as a budget will allow. The subject house is
an example of the thousands of small, modest, family residences constructed in tracts across the United States after the end of
World War II.
Pursuant to Criterion D of the National Register, Criterion 4 of the California Register, and Criterion 4 of the Arcadia HD, the
property at 26 West Winnie Way does not appear to possess the potential to yield information important to the history of
Arcadia or the San Gabriel Valley.
The house at 26 West Winnie Way has retained the aspects of integrity of design, workmanship, materials, setting, feeling,
association, and location, but it remains an unremarkable example of a single-family residence dating from the 1950s. The
property does not appear eligible for listing in the National Register, California Register, or as a Historic Landmark in the City of
Arcadia. The house is not a significant example of a post-World War II tract house, and is being assigned the OHP Status Code of
6Z.
