Biographical Note Alice Larkin Toulmin (1879 Dec. 5 - 1963 Feb. 13) is the granddaughter of Thomas Oliver Larkin (first U.S. consul to Alta California and a signer of the original California Constitution) and daughter of Alfred O. Larkin and Mary Ball Larkin Chappell. She married Henry W. Toulmin in 1914. The Toulmin Estate included stocks, bonds, cash, furniture, residential and commercial properties, and miscellaneous items. Among her real Estate holdings, the Larkin House in Monterey, California, stood out for its historical significance, for it was built by Thomas Oliver Larkin in 1835 and served as the U.S. consulate in Alta California. Alice purchased the house in 1922 and made it her family residence for many years. In 1962 she deeded the Larkin House to the State of California. The Larkin House is recognized by the U.S. government as a National Historic Landmark and is part of the larger Monterey State Historic Park. Henry Wrougton Toulmin (1871 March 2 - 1952) was a sportsman and amateur archaeologist born in England. He and his wife Alice lived in the Larkin House in Monterey, California, for many years.

The two‐story, Monterey Colonial Revival style residence under review was built in 1941 on a corner parcel located in Tract Number 5859 within the North of Montana neighborhood. OAC documented and evaluated the property to determine whether it appears to satisfy one or more of the statutory criteria associated with City of Santa Monica Landmark and Structure of Merit eligibility requirements, pursuant to Chapter 9.56 (Landmarks and Historic Districts Ordinance) of the Santa Monica Municipal Code. This assessment report includes a discussion of the survey methodology used, a summarized description of the property, a brief contextual history of the immediate setting and property, and an evaluation of significance under the City of Santa Monica Landmark and Structure of Merit criteria. Applicable supporting materials, including photographs, have also been included in the report. FINDINGS Upon concluding the intensive level assessment evaluation process, OAC finds that the single‐ family residence located at 1531 Georgina Avenue does not appear eligible for City Landmark recognition as it does not sufficiently satisfy the evaluation requirements under criteria 9.56.100.

The Thematic Framework 1-1 to 1-23 II. Thematic Representation: Units of the National Park System II-l to 11-28 III. Thematic Representation: National Historic Landmarks III-l to 111-73 INTRODUCTION This thematic framework is a revision of "History and Prehistory in the National Park System and the National Historic Landmarks Program," 1982. Thematic classi­ fication of the United States' historic resources is much older, however. It was urged in 1929 by the Committee on the Study of Educational Problems in National Parks, the predecessor of the National Park System Advisory Board. The first theme outline was adopted by the Board in 1936. It was well understood by the scholarly community represented on these bodies, that classification of resources is intrinsic to an understanding of a body of knowledge about those resources and is fundamental to the comparative analysis necessary in making judgments of rela­ tive significance. The outline is used to show the extent to which units and cultural resources of the National Park System, affiliated areas, and National Historic Landmarks reflect the Nation's past. Parks and Landmarks are assigned to all themes, subthemes, and facets in which they are found to be nationally significant.

The monument is significant as a record of the period of the Mexican capitol of Alta California, as well as the transitional period of develop- ment of Monterey as an American community. It was the home of Thomas Oliver Larkin, the most Important American residing in California during the late Mexican and Early American periods. HISTORICAL INFORMATION Physical History The original owner of the property was Thomas Oliver Larkin, who was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, on September 16, 1802. Larkin came to Monterey on April 13, 1832, and worked for his half-brother, Captain John B. R. Cooper. In 1833 he married Mrs. Rachel Hobson Holmes, and in 1834 began planning the building which has since become known as the Larkin House. His plans included that his home should also be his place of business, and in April 1835 j Larkin purchased a solar (building site) of fifty varas (one vara equals two and three-quarters feet) at what is now the cor- ner of Calle Principal and Jefferson Street.
