INTRODUCTION 1.1. Project Overview and Scope In July 2015, the City of Santa Monica (the City) retained Architectural Resources Group (ARG) and Historic Resources Group (HRG), collectively referred to herein as the Project Team, to conduct a Citywide Historic Resources Inventory Update (HRI Update) for Santa Monica. By establishing a comprehensive list of the City’s potential historic resources, the HRI Update serves as a valuable information tool that can help to guide planning and land use decisions. The last comprehensive update of Santa Monica’s HRI occurred between 2006 and 2010 and included the evaluation of existing and previously unidentified historic resources constructed through 1968. The scope of this HRI Update is to survey all previously identified historic resources, identify previously unrecorded individual resources and historic districts in the city constructed through 1977, and evaluate all potential historic resources against National Register of Historic Places (federal, or National Register), California Register of Historical Resources (state, or California Register), and Santa Monica Landmark and Structure of Merit (local) eligibility criteria. As part of this HRI Update, the Project Team drafted a citywide historic context statement. Developed using the National Register Multiple Property Documentation (MPD) approach, the historic context statement provides an in‐ depth narrative account of the city’s development history as reflected by its built environment.1 The historic context statement places Santa Monica’s built

Since the turn of the 20th Century, this street has attracted numerous prominent southern Californians. This street is named after Robert Gillis’ daughter, Adelaide. Robert Gillis was the owner of the Santa Monica Land and Water Co. and bought thousands of acres in the Palisades in the 1880s. In 1923, Gillis sold 22,000 acres to Alphonso Bell, who developed Bel Air, and went on to develop the Pacific Palisades. 6. Worrell “Zuni House,” 1923-24 710 Adelaide Pl. Architect Robert Stacey-Judd is best known for his Mayan-themed architecture, as is evident in the Pueblo Revival style home, the only known example of his work in Santa Monica. The design of the house embodies many of the character-defining features of the Pueblo Revival style, including an asymmetrical facade, block composition, and flat roofs with parapets highlighted by red tile coping. Noteworthy are projecting roof beams (a.k.a. vigas) typical of the Zuni tribe of Arizona Indians. The rounded corners of the terraced walls, simulate adobe. A stepped Mayan motif is repeated in the door and window frames. It’s said that the work of this architect "is always a surprise.” 7.
