Professional Archaeologist March 25, 2021 Owner and Principal Investigator City of Arcadia Attn: Lisa Flores/Luis Torrico 240 W. Huntington Drive Arcadia, California 91066 RE: 1022 La Cadena Avenue, Arcadia. Ms. Flores/Mr. Torrico: McKenna et al. recently completed an architectural assessment of the property at 1022 La Cadena Avenue. The potential historic resource is NOT listed on the City’s “Individ- ually Eligible Resources.” McKenna et al. evaluated the improvements against the Na- tional Register of Historic Places (National Register), California Register of Historical Resources (California Register) eligibility criteria, and recently enacted City of Arcadia policies and guidelines. My evaluation resulted in a determination that this property is not eligible for listing as an “individually eligible resource” and, therefore, assigned the designated code of 6Z (see attached forms). The property is not significant and not eligible for listing on any listing of historically significant resources. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my office in Whittier, CA.

McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update The property at 1022 La Cadena Avenue, Arcadia, Los Angeles County, California, is cross- referenced by the L.A. Co. Assessor as APN 5778-010-017. This property is rectangular with a north/south width of 71.94 feet and an east/west length of 290.38 feet (20,790 square feet). This lot is almost three times the size a=of a standard single family residential lot by today’s standards. The residence on this property is located on the east side of La Cadena Avenue and just northeast of the eastern terminus of Arcadia Avenue . The Assessor describes the improvements as consisting of a multi-family residential property with initial improvements com- pleted in 1926-1927 (4 beds/1 bath; 1556 sq. ft.) and supplemental improvements in 1944 (1 bed/1 bath; 660 sq. ft). Research confirmed this property was originally located with the southern portion of the historic Ranch Santa Anita and just north of the boundary with the Rancho San Francisquito. This property is also within Township 1 North; Range 11 West; and the SE ¼ of the NE ¼ of Section 32. Prior to the identification of the rancho, this area was under the general jurisdiction of the Mission San Gabriel de Arcangel. The Rancho Santa Anita was originally confirmed to Henry Dalton in ca. 1858; p/o Lot No. 37. McAdam and Snider 1981:17) present a chronology for the Rancho, listing the owners as: 1771-1834 Part of the Mission San Gabriel holdings (Spanish Period) 1834 Secularization of the Missions completed (Mexican Period) 1837 Hugo Reid (1810-1852) marries Bartholomea (Victoria) in California 1838 Rancho Huerta de Cuati granted to Victoria Reid (1808-1868) 1839 Hugo Reid petitions for Rancho Santa Anita (13,319 acres) 1840 Hugo Reid builds his adobe at rancho Santa Anita 1845 Pio Pico confirms grant to Hugo Reid 1847 Hugo Reid sells Rancho Santa Anita to Henry Dalton 1854 Henry Dalton sells to Joseph Rowe 1857 Joseph Rowe sells to “Dibblee and Corbitt” 1868 Dibblee and Corbitt sell 2000 acres to Leonard Rose 1868 Dibblee and Corbitt sell 11,319 acres to William Wolfskill 1869 Louis Wolfskill (William’s heir) sells 1740 acres to Alfred Chapman 1872 Louis Wolfskill sells 8000 acres to Harris Newmark (of Los Angeles) 1875 Harris Newmark sells to Elias Jackson Baldwin (1828-1909) 1909-1936 Rancho Santa Anita owned by E.J.

McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update As noted, the Rancho Santa Anita had many owners following secularization – eight between 1945 and 1875. No significant improvements (with the exception of the Hugo Reid Adobe and the rancho headquarters) were noted during these 30 years. In 1875, Elias J. Baldwin, while still living in San Francisco, purchased the rancho and visited the property, improved the adobe, and began making substantial plans transforming the rancho into a profitable investment. In 1891, Baldwin filed the “Map of the Santa Anita Colony.” This mapped area was bounded by Duarte Road (north); Azusa Road (south; now Live Oak Avenue); Second Avenue (east) and El Monte Avenue (west) – bisected by Santa Anita Avenue. The area due west of the Santa Anita Colony was not mapped until 1910, then Tract Nos. 950 and 951 were filed at the request of the heirs of Elias J. Baldwin (the E.J. Baldwin Estate; his daughters and their legal represent- atives). Tract No. 951 was bounded by Duarte Road (north); Baldwin Avenue (west); El Monte Avenue (east); and the “E.J. Baldwin’s Addition No. 1 to Santa Anita Colony” to the south. Tract No. 950 was bounded by Duarte Road (south), the Pacific Electric Railway (north); the City of Arcadia Boundary (west), and Santa Anita Avenue (east). This tract consisted of four lots of various sizes and the current project area is within the boundaries of Lot 3, a 151.39 acre lot in the southeastern portion of the Tract. This Tract remained undivided until ca. 1920, when Tract No. 3430 was filed at the request of Anita M. Baldwin (E.J. Baldwin’s daughter), Rudolph H. Schwarzkopf, and Otto E. Winkler, representing the Elias J. Baldwin Estate. As mapped, this Tract was bounded by Duarte Road (south), Baldwin Avenue (west), the South- ern Pacific Railroad R-O-W (north), and Holly Avenue (east). The subdivision consisted of the identification of 55 individual properties with two interior roadways – Fairview Avenue and La Cadena Avenue. Arcadia Avenue was not yet mapped or planned. When mapped, the northern extension of La Cadena Avenue (north of the railroad) was identified as El Molino Avenue. No evidence was found to suggest La Cadena Avenue was even known as El Molino Avenue. The County Assessor defines the current project area as “Tract # 3430 N 71.94 ft of S 139.94 ft measured on E and W lines of Lot 25 and Lot 26.” Lots 25 and 26 were originally defined as north/south trending properties with Lot 26 fronting La Cadena Avenue (southeast of Fairview Avenue and La Cadena Avenue) and Lot 25 being to the east of Lot 26. Each of these lot measured 145.19 ft (east/west) and 419.94 ft (north/south). The southern boundary of these lots is now equated with the alignment of Arcadia Avenue (west of La Cadena Avenue). As a 1920 subdivision, no improvements within the area are likely to pre -date 1920.

Duarte Road (MFR) 1979 479-489 W. Duarte Road (MFR) 1974 As presented above, it is evident this area along La Cadena Avenue has been subjected to a significant amount of redevelopment and properties that were originally designed to be larger, albeit SFR properties, were redeveloped as MFR properties beginning in the 1960s and contin- uing until recently. Of the three remaining pre-1951 improvements, only one is identified as a single family residential property. The other two (including the current project area) were origi- nally single family properties but are now multi-family (two residences each). It is also noted, the properties at 1000 to 1026 La Cadena Avenue were originally part of Lots 25 and 25 of Tract No. 3430. The dates of construction indicate these lots were subdivided by 1963-1964 (possibly earlier) with two redevelopments, followed by additional redevelopments between 2003-2012. The improvements at 1022 La Cadena Avenue and the earliest for the east side of La Cadena and the only pre-1963 improvements remaining on the block. Research into directories, voter listings, and permits resulted in the identification of the following owners/occupants of 1022 La Cadena Avenue: 1926-1930+ Jeppe and Laura Jensen* (poultry farmer) 1937-1938 Walter R. and Ida (sp.)

Duarte Road, indicating they had more property than the two lots on La Cadena Avenue.) The permit file for 1022 La Cadena Avenue was limited but included the following: 1926 Jeppe and Laura Jensen Original Construction of Dwelling (and Garage) 1939 W.R. Siewert Addition to Dwelling 1944 J. Hutchinson Construction of 2nd Dwelling 1945 K. Nitzkowski Installation of Kitchen Range and Cesspool Abandonment/Sewer Connection As indicated, any additional improvements by the Jensens were completed without permits. Aerial photographs, however, show there were additional improvements, as do early USGS maps. As illustrated on the maps presented on Page 14 of this record, a single structure (resi- dence) is illustrated in 1928 (Jensen ownership) and three structures are illustrated by 1948 (Nitzkowski ownership period). The two northern structures would be in areas now redeveloped with modern MFR improvements. Additional structures at 1022 La Cadena Avenue are not depicted on the maps although they are present on the aerial photos (with similar structures to the south – also Jensen property). Jeppe Christian Jensen (1878-1954) was a native of Denmark who immigrated to the U.S. in ca. 1923 through Canada. In 1920, Jensen was a naturalized Canadian. In 1923, he entered the U.S. via Idaho and migrated south, to the Los Angeles basin. In 1924 he married Laura B. Larkin in Los Angeles and, shortly thereafter, purchased the two lots in Arcadia (Lots 25 and 26 DPR 523L (1/20) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 20 of 151 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 1022 La Cadena Avenue, Arcadia, CA Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update of Tract No. 3430). Here, the Jensens established a poultry farm/ranch with improvements on the southern portion of both lots. When the settled on La Cadena Avenue their property ex- tended from Fairview Avenue (north) to the mid -line extension of the future Arcadia Avenue. While La Cadena Avenue was established in 1920, the Jensen property was not referred to by number as fronting La Cadena Avenue. The residence constructed at present -day 1022 La Cadena Avenue did/does face La Cadena Avenue, as did the improvements to the south, 1026 La Cadena Avenue. Jeppe and Laura Jensen are credited with the construction of the residence and poultry farm at 1022 La Cadena Avenue, as referenced in their building permit. However, by 1928, the Jensens are listed as living at 652 W. Duarte Road (also a poultry farm) and no longer at the La Cadena Avenue address. This suggests the Jensens sold the La Cadena Avenue property or had the property occupied by someone other than themselves (possibly a caretaker/poultry worker ). Data suggest they may have sold the La Cadena Avenue property around 1935 -1936. They remained at 652 W. Duarte Road until the early 1950s, when they had relocated to Los Angeles. Jeppe Jensen died in 1954 and Laura Jensen died in 1961 – both in Los Angeles. They had no children. From ca. 1937 to approximately 1942 -1943, the property at 1022 La Cadena Avenue was owned and occupied by the Walter R. Siewert family. Walter Siewert was a teacher/Vise Prin- cipal/Principal in the Pasadena school system and lived at the La Cadena Avenue address with his wife (Ida) and two children (David and Grace). At the time of their occupation only one residence was identified on the property, but both Lots 25 and 26 were still held as a single property. In 1939, the Siewerts added to the residence (no description specified), but the im- provement can be seen on the southeastern corner of the residence, where a small wing was added to the structure, along with another entrance. The also constructed a “shed” in 1939. After 1943 the Siewerts relocated to Pasadena and nearer Walter Siewert’s assigned school. For a brief period (ca. 1944-1945) the property was owned by a “J. Hutchinson.” Hutchinson purchased Lots 25 and 26. Little is known of Hutchinson other than to associate him with Marion and Tommye Hutchinson. Tommye Hutchinson was the owner of “Tommye’s Kitchen” in Arca- dia (on Holly Avenue) and [apparently] the wife of “Jack” Hutchinson. The Hutchinsons are credited with the construction of the second residence at 1022 La Cadena Avenue (built by H.J. Miller in 1944) and “Jack & Tom 1944” is incised in the concrete adjacent to the office on the property. Also incised in the concrete is “John and Helene.” DPR 523L (1/20) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 21 of 151 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 1022 La Cadena Avenue, Arcadia, CA Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update “John and Helene” have been identified as John and Helena Bostrom, the owners of 1026 La Cadena Avenue between 1944 and 1955. John Bostrom was a letter carrier for the U.S. Post Office, moved onto his property the same year Hutchinson purchased 1022 La Cadena Avenue – indicating this was the first time the properties within Lots 25 and 26 were subdivided and sold separately. As neighbors, the two families incised their names when the concrete was poured in 1944. The Hutchinsons sold the property at 1022 La Cadena Avenue in 194 5 to Kenneth L. (1907- 199) and Pearl (1905-1996) Nitzkowski. The Nitzkowski family occupied the property from 1945 until 1958-1959. With the completion of the Hutchinson’s second residence on the property, the “rear” house was occupied by Edward Nitzkowski (father of Kenneth – 1882-1957). Edward Nitzkowski lost his wife in 1943 and moved to California to live with his son. A 1948 aerial photograph of the property illustrated the presence of the original residence, sec- ond residence, garage, covered patio, office, large barn, and elongated wing to the east of the barn. These improvements mirrored those of the property to the south (1026 La Cadena Ave- nue) and appear to be associated with the improvements dating to ca. 1944 (by both the Hutchinsons and Bostroms). Kenneth Nitzkowski had been living in Southern California, but married Pearl in Michigan in 1944 and they returned to Southern California the same year. Kenneth L. Nitzkowski worked as a bartender. There were no records found to indicate the Nitzkowskis had children. Following the death of Edward Nitzkowski, Kenneth and Pearl sold the property to Mrs. Frankie F. Brill, who occupied the main residence (1960 -1961). The rear residence was occupied by Phyllis D. Carter. Frankie Brill was the wife of John Stanley Brill (lawyer; 1910-2006), but was not living with her husband on La Cadena Avenue. Phyllis Carter was a salesperson at the local J.C. Penney department store. Frankie Brill sold the property to Willian E. and Betty Lea Wall in ca. 1963 and the Walls remained until their divorce in ca. 1968. No permits were issued to the Brills or Walls. Ownership between ca. 1968 and 1992 was not confirmed during this investigation, but in 1992 to property was owned by Kenneth H. (1922-2019) and Charlotte M. (1920-2020) Pitzer. The Pitzers had one son, James M. (1953-1983) who preceded them (cancer), dying in New Jersey.

McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update Research confirmed the Pitzers owned 1022 La Cadena Avenue from at least 1992 to recently, following their respective deaths. However, it is also noted the Pitzers owned a unit at 503 W. Duarte Road (#6), indicating they may have abandoned the property on La Cadena Avenue and lived nearby – not actually vacating person property from the La Cadena property. Kenneth Pitzer was identified as a student from CalTech and referred to as a “design engineer.” He was an avid aviation enthusiast and was also considered an avocational inventor. Based on the information available to date, the Jensens built a residence and garage on their property while operating a poultry ranch. They relocated, selling the property to the Siewerts, who added to the residence and constructed a shed (1939). In 1944, Jack Hutchinson built the second residence (1944) and is credited with the construction of the office, large barn with extended wing, and covered patio. He immediately sold the property to the Nitzkowskis (ca. 1944-1945) who remained until 1958. By 1993, the property was owned by Kenneth and Char- lotte Pitzer. Some time between 1980 and 1993, the large wing to the east of the barn had been removed. When the Pitzers took possession of the property the improvements consisted of the original residence (1926-1927), garage (1926-1927), additional to the original residence (1939), shed (1939), covered patio (1944), office (1944), large barn/workshop (ca. 1944), and second residence (1944). These improvements remain today (2021). CURRENT CONDITIONS A recent visit to the property at 1022 La Cadena Avenue confirmed the presence of five build- ings: 1926-1927 residence; 1939 shed; 1944 residence; 1944 office; and 1944 barn/workshop. In addition was a covered patio located between the garage and office. The front yard was relatively small, but the rear yard was deep and unkempt. The driveway runs along the northern property boundary, extending from the curb at La Cadena Avenue to the door of the 1926 -1927 garage. Additional concrete expanses have been poured to the south of the garage, north of the second residence and along the south side of the barn/workshop (presumably in 1944, as well). There are remnants of the concrete pad associated with the large wing that was once present to the east of the barn/workshop. Otherwise, the rear yard is dominated by grass and the remains of some felled trees on the property boundaries.

McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update 1926-1927 Residence The 1926-1927 residence at 1022 La Cadena Avenue is described by the L.A. County Assessor as a four bedroom, 1 both residence with 1,556 square feet of living space. This description is based on the completion of an addition completed in 1939 by Walter Siewert. This addition is evident on the southeastern corner of the residence and consists of an addition of approximately 120 square feet of living space, indicating the original residence is approximately 1,436 square feet. Similarly, the original residence was probably a three bedroom, one bath residence. Little to no specific information was provided in the permit file. The existing residence is a single story structure on a raised foundation. It is wood framed. An exterior entrance confirmed this residence also includes a basement. The structure is irregu- larly shaped and exhibits a cross gable roof design. The roof is high-pitched and there are attic vents evident o the north and south elevations. There are crawl space entrances indicating the floors of the residence is at least two feet above the surrounding soil. There is a covered front porch extending into the front yard area and a recessed side porch accessed from the driveway area. A rear porch is present on the northeast corner of the residence (on the east elevation) providing access to the kitchen area. There is a tall chimney on the north elevation and a short stoop providing access to the addition on the southern extent of the east elevation. The structure exhibits all the original windows (fixed, double hung sash, and casement). These are all wood framed and appear to have the original glass (some panes likely replaced). The original wooden screens are gone, having been replaced by modern aluminum screens. The original doors are present at all access points. Changes to the residence appear to be limited to the replacement of the roofing materials (no permits) and the resurfacing of the residence with think, textured stucco. McKenna et al. sug- gests this structure was originally a clapboard sided structure and the clapboard siding may have been replaced, but more likely encased in the modern stucco material. The addition of the stucco has significantly impacted the original design of the residence and has also resulted in the loss of some relief surrounding the doors and windows. It is quit e likely this resurfacing and reroofing took place during the Pitzer ownership (post-1993). The residence has been abandoned and, although locked, it appears much of the Pitzer belonging are still present, but in a state of neglect.

McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update 1926-1927 Garage The garage at 1022 La Cadena Avenue was constructed as a two car garage with an east/west trending gable roof. The structure is framed with redwood and currently sided with thick, heavily textured [modern] stucco. This stucco has encased or replaced what was likely a clapboard- sided structure. The north side of the garage exhibits a flat expanse of stucco (no windows). The east elevation has a single window frame, but the window, itself, has been removed and replaced by a piece of plywood. There is a single door on the south elevation. This solid paneled door appears to be original to the structure, but is in poor condition. A small concrete sill has been added to the base of the door. Reroofing and resurfacing was likely completed during the Pitzer ownership period of post-1993. The west elevation of the garage is dominated by the present of two sets of hinged wooden door that also appear original to the structure. The concrete drive running to the garage doors is a replaced pavement and differs from the concrete floor of the garage. The roof of the garage is in a state of significant disrepair and collapsing. There are multiple layers of composition shingles and areas where the roof is missing. Exposure has damage d portions of the interior of the garage and the stored items within the garage have been damaged, as well. The garage is used only for storage and is quite cluttered. These materials appears to date to the Pitser ownership and represent salvaging or miscellaneous storage (items in disarray and not in use- able condition). 1939 Shed The 1939 shed is located east of the 1944 residence and south of the 1944 barn/workshop. This structure is a wood-framed, rectangular structure (almost squared) with vertical and hori- zontal wood siding and a shed roof sloping to the north. There are doors on the west and south elevations. A third door appears to have been sealed on the east elevation. There is one window on the west elevation (double hung sash/no ears); one win dow on the east elevation (six fixed panes); and four windows on the south elevation. The south-facing windows are placed high on the wall, just under the eave, and were designed as simple boxes with screening (no glass). This shed appears to have been designed ori ginally as a chicken coop but has been converted into storage space. It has been semi-finished in the interior (sheetrock, electricity, and a water heater to support a washing machine. The floor is vinyl tile squares atop a rough concrete floor (added after construction).

McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update At the time of inspection, the interior roof was in a state of collapse and the stored items exhib- ited water damage. There was also evidence of rodent activity. The material stored in this structure consist primarily of magazine and reference materials a ssociate with aeronautics and airplane designs. McKenna et al. has attributed the majority of this material to the Pitzeer own- ership and occupation and much of the material is relatively early, suggesting the Pitzers brought the collection with him from a previous residence. There is a possibility this structure was moved from another location on the original Jensen property, but there are no permits to confirm this premise. Regardless, the structure is a small, nondescript structure in very poor condition. It was designed as a chicken coop in ca. 1939 and converted to storage space – likely in the 1990s. It is in very poor condition and not con- sidered historically significant. 1944 Residence The 1944 residence at 1022 La Cadena Avenue is a structure credited to Jack Hutchinson, but only occupied after the property was purchased by Nitzkowski family. This residence is a small (660 sq. foot) residence with one bedroom and one bath. It is constructed on a concrete slab, exhibits a low pitched hipped-gable roof, and is covered in modestly textured stucco consistent with the 1940s. In general, the structure is considered to be a Minimal Traditional bungalow exhibiting double hung sash windows (no ears) and simple paneled doors. There is a small covered porch on the west elevation. There are no outstanding design element on the exterior of the structure. The interior, however, exhibits a unique hard wood, exposed rafter ceiling in the living room area with a stone fireplace. The design elements are not char- acteristic of a Minimal Traditional residence and may be representative of the structure being relocated, in part, and completed in the Minimal Traditional manner. The permits do not indicate relocation. The materials may have been salvaged and incorporated into the residential design. At the time of this investigation, the 1944 residence was found to be in poor condition, packed with discarded materials (books, clothing, furniture, debris) and the kitchen and bathroom un- usable. The residence appears to have been used as a storage area for many years and not as living space. Some items within the structure may be worth salvaging, but the structure, itself, is not historically significant.

McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update 1944 Office The office attached to the west side of the large barn/workshop has been tentatively dated to 1944, based primarily on the incising of dates and names in the concrete surrounding the struc- ture. This structure is a one story, wood framed structure with clapboard siding, wood framed casement windows, and a solid panel door (west elevation). The roof is an east/west trending gable design with composition shingles and an added each on the west elevation to provide protection for the door and windows on the elevation from the elements. This eave consists of simple 2 x 4 framing and corrugated plastic sheeting (modern) attributed to the Pitzer owner- ship. This office also includes a walk-in closet and bathroom. It rests on a concrete slab and is attached to the barn/workshop to the east. The materials suggest this office was always a part of the barn/workshop, as the siding continues onto the adjacent walls. There is a possibility this structure dates earlier, but no records were found to confirm this potential. Overall, it is a simple structure in poor condition. 1944 Barn/Workshop As with the office, the 1944 construction date for this barn/workshop is based on the incised dated in the concrete and the continuity of the construction design. In th is case, however, the barn/workshop is much larger, exhibiting a high roof (two story) with a small corner room above the southeast corner of the structure. The remainder of the structure is dominated by the ground floor use areas divided only be the supporting posts and roof support structures. The floor is poured concrete and the interior is redwood framing. The west elevation exhibits a set of large, hinged doors of vertical planking and cross supports. A corresponding opening is located on the east elevation, but here the door is a wide, single expanse associated with wheel runners (replacements) and a single door incorporated into the larger sliding door. There are windows (fixed, but broken panes) on the north elevation. The south elevation of this barn/workshop is associated with a large, wooden bay door designed to open on hinges and springs. It has since been sealed (non -operational). It is a low door, indicating it was not an access area for trucks, but smaller/lower vehicles. The location of this door is problematic, as the shed to the south is too close to have rendered the bay door func- tional. For this reason, McKenna et al. suggests this structure was relocated onto the property – possibly from another location on the older Jensen prope rty. Aerial photographs show this barn/workshop has a large wing extending to the east. The presence of this wing is evidenced DPR 523L (1/20) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 27 of 151 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 1022 La Cadena Avenue, Arcadia, CA Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update by the scarring on the east elevation, where the gable roofline is still visible. A similar structure was once present on the property to the south, suggesting the Hutchinsons and their neighbors, the Bostroms, arranged to contemporaneous construction/rel ocation – possibly old poultry ranch structures designed for reuse. In any case, almost half of the original structure is no longer present and the remaining portion is representative of the reuse of the structure following the Hutchinson’s brief ownership. The structure has been reroofed. Overall, it is in poor con- dition. Summary In summary, the improvements at 1022 La Cadena Avenue represent at least three periods of improvement: 1926-1927, 1939, and 1944. In addition, there have been alterations to the prop- erty completed without permits during the 1990s (+/-). There are five structures on the property: 2 residences, 1 garage, 1 office, 1 shed, and 1 barn/workshop. There is also evidence of a wing to the barn/workshop that has been removed. Changes to the original residence and garage include reroofing and the resurfacing of both structures with thick, modern stucco – covering or replacing the original clapboard siding. The shed is considered to have been constructed as a chicken coo p that than since been ren- ovated into storage space and a structure that accommodated a washing machine. It is in poor condition and in a state of significant disrepair. The office and barn/workshop reflect a large structural expanse that is also only a remnant of the larger structure (over ½ removed). No permits were found to confirm the data of construc- tion, but McKenna et al. has tentatively concluded this large structure was moved onto the property in ca. 1944 – possibly from another location within the original Jensen property hold- ings. Whether moved or simply pre-dating 1944, this structure is (office and barn/workshop) are representative of utilitarian improvements that have been incorporated into the activities of the last owner, Pitzer, and still contains many of his personal possessions (tools, books, equip- ment, etc.). Overall, all five structures are in poor condition and reflect alterations, additions, some demolition, and neglect. EVALUATION/ASSESSMENT 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 DPR 523L (1/20) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 28 of 151 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 1022 La Cadena Avenue, Arcadia, CA Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update of the Arcadia Municipal Code (“The Development Code”), with an Exemption under the Cal- ifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), to implement a Historic Preservation Ordinance.” This Ordinance was the result of numerous meetings, studies, and public comme nt. 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 Code, an evalua- tion or assessment of a property includes addressing the “integrity” of the resource, as defined by the seven criteria listed in the State and Federal guidelines (Location, Design, Setting, Materials, Workmanship, Feeling, and Association). Subsequent to the “integrity” evaluation, a resource (building, structure, object, or site) is determined to 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. 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: In general, the property associated with 1022 La Cadena Avenue is in the same location as it was defined, following the subdivision of Lots 25 and 26 of Tract No. 3430. However, the property is not reflective of the original pro- DPR 523L (1/20) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 29 of 151 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 1022 La Cadena Avenue, Arcadia, CA Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update perty, as the original lots were oriented north and south and the property at 1022 La Cadena Avenue is representative of only a fraction of each lot and now oriented east/west. This has impacted the integrity of the property lo- cation. However, even the later definition of the property dates to the historic period. All of the improvements within the property are old enough to be considered historic and are in their pre-1945 locations. Therefore, despite lot line changes, McKenna et al. has concluded the intent of the “Location” element HAS BEEN MET, albeit minimally. Design: The original improvements at 1022 La Cadena Avenue consisted of the orig- inal residence and garage, only. The other improvements have been dated to 1939 and 1944, respectively. The design of the original residence and garage have been altered through reroofing and resurfacing. The 1939 shed is negligible (chicken coop). With respect to the office and barn/workshop, these improvements are representative of less than ½ the original improve- ments. The large wing to the east has been removed, resulting is a signifi- cant loss to the overall design of the structures and the extent of the im- provements on the property. McKenna et al. has concluded the extent of alterations, addition, and demolitions have adversely impacted the original design of the improvements and, therefore, the intent of the “design” element of integrity HAS NOT BEEN MET. Setting: As previously noted above, the original properties associated with 1022 La Cadena Avenue consisted to two relatively large lots (25 and 26) within Tract No. 3430 (dating to 1920) and these lots were oriented north/south. Similar lots were to the south and east, as well as on the west side of La Cadena Avenue. When originally designed, the setting in the area was considered rural and the lots were sized to allow for light agricultural/ranching activities – primarily poultry ranching. The Jensens purchased Lots 25 and 26 to es- tablish a poultry ranch. Later, as the properties were subdivided, many of these single family residential properties with much open space were rede- veloped with multi-family apartments and condominium. At present, only on property on the street between W. Duarte Road and Fairview a venue is still single family residential. There are two duplexes (including 1022 La Cadena DPR 523L (1/20) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 30 of 151 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 1022 La Cadena Avenue, Arcadia, CA Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update Avenue) and the remainder are post-1963 redevelopments – including one property currently under construction. The extent of the redevelopments has adversely impacted the historic setting for the area and, therefore, McKenna et al. has concluded the intent of the “setting” element of integrity HAS NOT BEEN MET. Materials: The 1926-1927 residence and garage at 1022 LA Cadena Avenue have been impacted by the reroofing and resurfacing of the structures. In addition, the rear addition to the residence, though completed in 1939, altered the original design of the structure. With the replacement of the roofs, the shift from clapboard siding to stucco siding, and the overall attrition of these two structures has impacted their integrity with respect to materials. In the case of the 1939 shed and 1944 residence, office, and barn/workshop, the majority of the original materials are present. In each case, however, the roofing materials have been replaced. In the case of the barn/workshop, a large wing has been demolished, impacting the design, massing, and pres- ence/absence of original materials. These structures have been modestly altered to accommodate the loss of the wing. Despite reflecting much of the original materials, these structures are in poor condition. None exhibits unique or exotic materials or designs. McKenna et al. has concluded the extent of the loss of original materials and the current conditions of the re- maining materials has impacted the integrity of the improvements with re- spect to “materials” and, therefore, the intent of the “material” element of integrity HAS NOT BEEN MET. Workmanship: The initial improvements at 1022 La Cadena Avenue were completed in 1926-1927, but no architect was identified and no significant builder/crafts- man/artisan was identified. The later improvements yielded similar results, although permits did identify at least one builder (not an individual of note). The ancillary structures (office, second resident, shed, and barn/workshop) are fairly simple structures and fail to reflect any significant workmanship. Overall, all of the improvements within the property appear to be standard for their respective dates of construction and not out of the ordinary for their DPR 523L (1/20) * Required Information State of California DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary # HRI # Trinomial Page 31 of 151 *Resource Name or # (assigned by recorder) 1022 La Cadena Avenue, Arcadia, CA Recorded by: Jeanette A. McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update primary purposes or uses. The original residence would have been consid- ered a vernacular California Bungalow, but the alterations of rendered this definition non-applicable. The second residence is considered a Minimal Tradition structure and of no historical significant. Likewise, the ancillary structures are fairly standard, despite the current conditions of neglect and attrition. Overall, McKenna et al. has concluded the workmanship is stand- ard and not the work of a recognized architect, master b uilder, or artisan. There are no outstanding design elements. McKenna et al. has concluded the intent of the “workmanship” element of integrity HAS NOT BEEN MET. Feeling: “Feeling” is a subjective element of integrity. It has been interpreted as re- quiring an individual to “feel” the same way entering an area as persons would have felt during the “period of significance” which, in this case, the period of significance is 1926-1945. The entire street illustrates considerable modern intrusion of large, multi-storied, multi-family residential complexes. Only three properties on the block exhibit anything close to original improve- ments and all three have be subjected to some changes that have impacted the ca. 1926-1945 period of significance. The extent of modern improve- ments coupled with the significant loss of earlier improvements has ad- versely impacted the “feeling” of the once rural neighborhood. McKenna et al. has concluded the intent of the “feeling” element of integrity HAS NOT BEEN MET. Association: “Association” refers to the potential for the property to be associated with events or persons important in history. In this case, the property can be associated with the Mission period, rancho period, and Elias J. Baldwin own- ership. However, the main association is with the 1945 subdivisions of larger properties by private owners who subdivided their holdings for private sales. These owners did not necessarily improve the properties, as a whole, but sold unused portions while retaining area already improved. No persons of note and no significant historical events have been directly associated with the property at 1022 La Cadena Avenue. McKenna et al. found no data sufficient to meet the basic requirements for recognition under the “associa- tion” element of integrity and, therefore, has concluded the intent of the “as- sociation” element of integrity HAS NOT BEEN MET.

McKenna *Date March 25, 2021 X Continuation Update In assessing “Integrity” of this property, McKenna et al. determined only one of the seven elements of integrity can be applied to the improvements at 1022 La Cadena Avenue – Loca- tion. As such, the property lacks the necessary integrity to be considered historically s ignifi- cant on the Federal or State level and also fails to meet the requirement for integrity for listing as a local historical landmark. Final Assessment The final assessment or evaluation of a property involves addressing the four main criteria defined (questions) designed by, in part, the Office of Historic Preservation, Sacramento, as related to the California Environmental Quality Act, as amended, and as adopted by the City of Arcadia. The follow statements represent the findings of McKenna et al., as determined by the compilation of data pertaining to the improvements at 1022 La Cadena Avenue. 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. Being with the Rancho Santa Anita is not enough to quality, nor is being with the boundary of any of the subsequent subdivisions. A specific historical event must be identi- fiable. McKenna et al. found no correlation with any such event and, there- fore, the property is not eligible for recognition under this criterion. 2. It is associated with the lives of persons important to local or California history; No evidence was found to associate this property to any significant persons in the City of Arcadia or California history. As noted above, the association with the various owners of the rancho/ranch is not enough to qualify. The existing improvements could not be associated with any person meeting the minimum requirements for recognition. Therefore, the property is not eligible for recognition under this criterion.

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 improvements at 1022 La Cadena Avenue include the original resi- dence, a later residence, garage, office, shed, and barn/workshop. The original 1926-1927 residence has been classified as a vernacular form of a California Bungalow that has been significantly altered. The correspond- ing 1926-1927 garage is in this same category. The 1944 residence is a Minimal Traditional structure with no outstanding exterior design e lements. The 1939 shed is a wooded chicken coop that has been converted to stor- age space. The 1944 office and barn/workshop represent the largest of the improvements, but these are also simple structure exhibiting wood framing and siding, but no outstanding use of materials or design elements. In the case of the barn/workshop, over ½ of the structure has already been demolished. None of these improvement exhibit the high artistic values or any unique construction required under this criterion. No architect, builder, or artisan of note has been identified and no unique or exotic materials were used in the construction. Overall, McKenna et al. considers the im- provements standard for the period(s) and the property is not eligible for recognition under this criterion. 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 considered clear of such resources and, therefore, the property is not eligible for recognition under this crite- rion.
