P3a. Building Description continued:
The subject property includes two structures- a single family residence and a two-car detached garage. The residence was constructed in a Spanish Eclectic style in 1928-1929. The residence is a two-story, irregular shaped, asymmetrical, Spanish Eclectic style building. The building has a raised floor with perimeter concrete foundation, stucco exterior and a mixed gable roof with Spanish two-piece red clay tile roofing. Various portions of the house contain shed roofs.
East Facade
The east fac;ade is the main fac;ade that faces the street and includes the main entrance. The recessed, single wood entrance door is accessed through an arched opening. The second story contains a wrap around, wrought iron balcony on the southeast corner. Windows on the front fac;ade vary in size, shape and placement and include multi-lite casement style and fixed pane metal windows. The upper floor windows contain shutters or wrought iron grilles. Heavy vegetation obscures much of the ground floor area of the east fac;ade.
So uth Facade
The south fac;ade contains two, one-story sections that extend outward from the main mass of the building. The east section contains a shed roof with Spanish tile and large, rectangular, multi-lite metal window sections. The west section forms a small back porch with a single wood door entry and a shed roof with Spanish tile. The original multi-lite casement style metal windows are present on the upper floor and lower floors, with the exception of the upper level enclosed porch present at the junction of the south and west walls, which has casement style wood windows. The windows above the second floor wrap around balcony at the southeast corner are multi-light casement style. Alterations to the stucco below the window sills, the windows themselves and a 1929 photograph establish that this porch enclosure post-dated the original construction. A small, casement metal window is present on the lower level below the enclosed porch.
West Facade
The west fa~ade contains the west wing of the structure that extends toward the rear of the property and the larger back wall of the house that extends the full width of the building. The west wall of this wing contains a large metal unit and pipe structure on the ground floor and the wrap around wood window section of the enclosed porch on the second floor.
The north wall of the west wing contains a single wood and glass entry door on t he ground floor.

present on this wall. An angled wall1s present on the ground floor where the west wing joins the main portion of the house. This angled section contains a tri-parte, multi-lite metal window section. The second floor does not contain the angled portion.
The west wall of the main section of the house contains large sections of multi-lite, casement style metal windows. The north portion of the ground level fa(;ade contains a one-story sun room/enclosed porch structure off the living room. This section has a shed roof with Spanish tile. This enclosed sun porch contains a continuous band of wood framed, multHite, casement style wood windows that wrap around to the north wall of the residence. The chimney serving the living room fireplace is visible above the roof of the sun porch and the rear of the fireplace is apparent inside the porch. Below the sun porch wood windows, wood paneled walls are constructed on top of the red tile flooring of what was likely a former open patio. This enclosed sun porch is an alteration of the original residence.
A large, paved courtyard is present at the rear of the house and contains small gardens, outdoor living areas and a small courtyard.
North Facade
The north fa(;ade has few windows and is limited in detail as the least important fa(;ade of the structure. The north wall is obscured by large amounts of vegetation.
Garage and Yard Areas
The property contains a two-car garage located at the rear of the yard. The garage area is accessed by a long driveway that extends up the south side of the property at the basic lot line and provides a parking area and turn around space for cars. The garage has a concrete slab foundation, stucco exterior and front gable roof with Spanish tile. Two large wood fold-up doors are present on the south fa(;ade. A single wood door is present on the south fa(;ade . A small shed roof extension is present at the rear of the garage structure. The east fac;:ade contains two openwork grille sections set into the wall for additional detail. This garage is not original to the property.
The home and ga rage are sited within a heavily landscaped yard with mature trees, grass lawns, curving brick walkways, small flower gardens, and a large rose garden at the rear of the property. The property is in good condition.

B6. Alterations
A circa 1929 photograph of the residence provides documentation of alterations. The two living room windows on the north portion of the east fa~ade were formerly decorated with low false wood or iron balconies that were removed. The entrance arch was lined with a decorative tile surround that has been removed. The photograph shows a false chimney at the top of this fa~ade, which has been removed. On the southeast corner at the second floor, two pairs of French doors with screen doors on the East and South facades have been replaced with two sets of steel casement windows with the wrap around metal balcony and railing remaining. On the South fa~ade at the ground floor toward the west end, the shed roof porch cover over the rear entrance door is not original. The second floor southwest corner porch was originally open and later enclosed. These alterations are apparent from the 1929 historical photograph included in Attachment D.l. As discussed above in the building description, the sun porch on the north end of the west fa~ade was originally an open patio, as evidenced by the construction of the wood paneled walls of the porch on top of the red tile flooring of a former patio. The two-piece red tile roofing material on the entire structure is of a more recent vintage, but it was installed in a manner consistent with what would have been the original installation.
A review of the 1950 Sanborn Map indicates that the original outbuilding at the rear was located in a direct line behind the west wing. The current garage, which is much larger, is located north ofthe site of the former outbuilding as shown in the current site plan included in Attachment A.5 .

Background History of the Kensington Area
Kensington is a neighborhood that is bordered by Interstate 15 to the west, Interstate 8 to the north, Fairmount Avenue to the east, and El Cajon Boulevard to the south. Kensington was founded in 1910 with the filing of a map on April 9, 1910. The map contains the names of the two sisters who owned the land that became the Kensington area. Abby (Hall) Hitchcock and Mary (Hall) Gleason inherited the land from their mother and brother and began the process of developing the ex-Mission lands. The lands, formerly owned by Santiago Arguello, were f irst surveyed and sold in 1885. The land was purchased by members of the Ha ll family who were land use attorneys, realtors) and prominent community members with connections to William Douglas, a Los Angeles based rea l estate promoter.
Douglas handled the initial sales and convinced the San Diego Electric Railway Company to extend the rail lines into the Kensington Park area to help promote sales. The first homes were built in 1910 and were all constructed in the Craftsman style and the Kensington Park area began to prosper. In 1913, the sisters sold their lands to executives from the Santa Fe Railroad in Rancho Santa Fe who saw the State of California -The Resources Agency Primary# _ _ _ _ DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# _____ RESIDENTIAl BUilDING, STRUCTURE, AND OBJECT RECORD NRHP Status Code 5S2

Property History continued: potential in the Kensington area as home sites for Santa Fe executives. The group was headed by G. Aubrey Davidson, a prominent Sa n Diegan and community developer. The new group acquired more land and extended the concept of Kensington land development into the areas along the Mission Valley canyon edges.
An article in the Journal of San Diego History, "1926, The Formative Year of Kensington Heights11 and written by Anne D. Bullard, gives substantive background information on the development of the Kensington area. The following information is quoted from the 1995 article.
San Diego's Kensington neighborhood is known today for its appeal as a historic residential area with single family homes, distinct in their California style. This reputation can be attributed to the efforts of real estate developers, especially the Davis-Baker Company of Pasadena, California. In 1926, Davis-Baker opened a project called "Kensington Heights" using an aggressive marketing plan to sell property in a declining rea l estate market. Their promotional efforts and aesthetic demands for a specific architectural style made Kensington Heights appealing to buyers. At the same time, Davis-Baker created a visual identity for the neighborhood which became emblematic of the other housing developrr1~nl~ in Kensington in their name.
The neighborhood we think of today as Kensington is a collection of five original subdivisions: Kensington Park, Kensington Park Annex, Kensington Park Extension, Kensington Talmadge, and Kensington Heights. Kensington Heights was t he last of the parcels to be developed, and consisted of 115 acres overlooking Mission Valley. As it did then, this ge neral area today makes an ideal residential location, it sits high on a dry mesa surrounded by chaparral wooded canyons, overlooking a broad rambling valley, and is cooled by breezes blown in over the ocean from the west.
All the Kensington Heights tracts were handled in the same general way by land development companies ... The Kensington Heights project was different from the beginning because Davis Baker planned to build houses before selling the lots, and require houses built by others to conform to certain aesthetic standards. They did this so that the neighborhood would have a specific character and style, setting it apart from the surrounding developments. Kensington Park Land development projects were choice real estate parcels which enticed investors for other parts of California, especially the Los Angeles area. George Forbes was a typical investor, he was an experienced businessman and real estate speculator who had purchased some of the Kensington land with a mind toward realizing large profits... Forbes hired the Davis-Baker Company to develop his land ... The community could use a carefully restricted, high-grade residential area complemented by a planned commercial zone. Forbes knew that such a State of California-The Resources Agency Primary# ____ DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# _____ RESIDENTIAL BUILDING, STRUCfURE, AND OBJECT RECORD NRHP Status Code __ill

planned neighborhood would be a prominent contrast to the other, hastily-completed, projects in the area ...
To introduce themselves to the San Diego market, Davis-Baker worked with local businessmen, merchants and other local professionals. One such association was with Richard Requa, an architect known to the San Diego businessmen and housewives alike, he had designed t he developments of Ojai and Rancho Santa Fe, and wrote a popular column for the San Diego Union about architecture and interior design ... They also formed what they ca lled the
ItArchitectura l Committee" to oversee the building design for all homes in Kensington Heights, demonstrating to t he public t he exclusivity of the development. The committee of one consisted of Richa rd Requa. The entire promotional campaign for Kensington Heights was centered around Davis-Baker's concept of a subdivision with the look and feel of neighborhoods in Pasadena. The company understood from their previous experience which elements of location, architecture and landscape appealed to the type of buyer they wanted to attract. One brochure stated, 'Kensington Heights will never be spectacular or elaborate. It will always be a district unto itself of luxuriously modest homes of refinement.'
... The promotional campaign emphasized the tangible advantages of Kensington Heights such as the exclusivity of this mesa-top property, the high quality style required for houses built there, the large lot sizes, and the attractiveness of the landscape design ... Davis-Baker also employed romantic ideals in their advertisements, but they anchored their claims with factual descriptions of the place. For example, one advertisement stated: 'Kensington Heights is San Diego's ideal home district: climatically, architecturally, artistically, and even historically. Three years ago it was a mere barley field, today over 125 families have already selected it for permanent residence.'
The material below, located in Dr. Thomas Baumann's 1985 book on the Kensington Heights area, is quoted to give greater understanding of the subject property's historic context.
On January 4, 1925 the first unit of Kensington Heights was opened. It was developed by the David-Baker Rea l Estate Company of Pasadena. The company was better known as the Kensington Heights Company. George Forbes, an active realtor in the area, was the president. The first unit was north of Kensington Manor's second unit with Hilldale Road marking the dividing line between them.

Property History continued:
The second unit of Kensington Heights followed May 24, 1926, just northeast of Unit One. Both units had minimum building costs of $5000, a minimum requirement of 1500 square feet per dwelling. The architectural board was headed by Richard Requa, a local architect. All the homes constructed, however, exceeded the deed minimum. Lot prices ranged from $900 to $4000.
The third unit was opened by the Kensington Heights Company on September 2.8, 192.6. It is north of the first and second units and is on the rim of Mission Valley. Many of the lots have a spectacular view of the Valley and the San Diego River, the mountains to the west and north and Mission Bay to the west. Minimums in the third unit were $7500 and $10,000 depending on the lots which were larger and costlier than those in the first two units. The third unit had underground utilities, the only area in San Diego to have them outside a small portion of the original La Jolla Muirlands. However, this unit developed slowly and by 1929 there were only 24 homes constructed (Baumann 1985: 12.-13).
The Kensington Heights area proved to be fertile ground for the implementation of Richard Requa's ideas about architecture and San Diego. Bullard includes the following information from her 1995 article about Requa and his influence on Kensington Heights.
'For some time before his association with Davis-Baker, Richard Requa wanted to define a typical California style of architecture based on Spanish and Mediterranean styles. He had made several trips to Spain to photograph buildings and study their construction. Requa was intrigued by the 'charming composition of lines, arches, and flat roofs,' and liked the feeling of little cottages 'nestled in rich green and bright foliage of the countryside.' He sought the 'delightful informality of design and satisfying harmony with its environment.' These characteristics were ideally suited to the environment Davis-Baker worked to create for Kensington Heights. As they stated in an advertisement: 'The developers of Kensington Heights believe that in furthering the true type of ~pan ish architecture they are in a measure perpetuating the traditions of San Diego. Behind San Diego is a romance of love, chivalry and struggling pioneers.'
Requa's designs for Kensington Heights reflected a mixture of elements from Spanish country houses, embellished with details found on city dwellings. For example, many of the houses built in Kensington resemble a photograph of a 'typical rural cottage of Andalusia.' Elements such as rounded chimneys, arched doorways, and tile roofs came directly from styles of rural Spain. The influence of city architecture manifested itself in window grilles and ba lconies. Davis-Baker promoted the theme of Requa's 'California style' with enthusiasm, noting whenever possible how well these designs satisfied the 'requirements and advantages of the southern California environment.' Davis-Baker also worked with experts in landscape and furniture design to distinguish their properties from the others in the area. They planted palm trees to add State of California-The Resources Agency Primary# ____ DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# _____ RESIDENTIAL BUILDING, STRUCTURE, AND OBJECT RECORD NRHP Status Code SS2

Property History continued: definition to the parkways, and used bougainvillea, acacia, and oleander to provide the rich greens and bright colors prescribed by Requa ...
Davis-Baker required that all homes in their subdivision be designed in the Spanish style variants. The company created a contest to generate interest and enthusiasm in the development. The contest was to see who could design the best example of "Southern Ca lifornia architecture.'' Ads for the contest were run along the side of Requa's newspaper column on design and architecture as an additional promotion. Contestants were required to submit elevations of their designs and soon winners were announced. Later it became known that the winner, Mrs. Margaret Ficklensen, had submitted a design for her ideal home that had actually been designed and drawn by Richard Requa. The contest had been fixed by Davis-Baker to continue to promote the Spanish architectural concepts (Bullard 1995: 3).
The winning design was built and served as the model home for t he rest of the Kensington Heights development. The opening in November 1926 was attended by large numbers of people, thus accomplishing what Davis-Baker had hoped for-more publicity for their housing tract. The company continued to build model homes in their preferred styles but no more contests were held. The desire to maintain high standards was a primary goal of the company and the "model homes were given Spanish names to contribute to the cu ltivation of an aristocratic air for the neighborhood, and they were part of the uniqueness built into each home. Kensington Heights was not a tract configured with row upon row of identical houses, rather it became a community w ith a visual identity and a feeling of permanence. Davis-Baker's equation continued to work and reinforced its initial success into 1930... Modern Kensington's reputation as a unique, historical community owes much to Davis-Baker's careful planning and effective accomplishment of their goals (Bullard 1995: 4)."
Richard Requa
As an architect, Richard Requa produced a substantial body of work during his thirty year career from 1911-1941. He worked with many significant San Diego architects who influenced his design philosophy and his partnerships and associations with these men created outstanding buildings, many of which are still in existence today. His career spanned the death of classical architecture as taught by the Ecole des Beaux Arts and the establishment of modern architecture with its twentieth century influences.1
Requa was born in 1881 in Rock Island, Illinois and within a few years, his parents began a series of moves that would eventually bring them to California from Nebraska. In Nebraska, Requa attended

Norfolk College and studied electrical engineering, however, he never received any formal architectural training. The family moved to San Diego in 1900, and even though Richard was working as an electrical engineer, he chose to move with the family. San Diego was facing difficult times in t he building industry, work was scarce but Richard soon bega n working as an electrical engineer for Fra nk S. Harwell, an electrical contractor. By 1904, he had gone into business for himself with a partner, Fred L. Edwards.2 Several other career changes brought Requa different types of experience. His business failed and he went into the real estate business and by 1907, Requa entered his most important profession architecture. He joined the firm of Irving Gill, a prominent local architect, as a building superintendent and this position changed his life. Gill was known for running his architectural office as an atelier, repeating his professional experience as a young architect in t he Chicago firm of noted architect, Louis Su llivan. In the charged atmosphere of Gill's office, Requa was free to learn the art of architecture and not be limited to just a supervisory capacity. According to Mary Taschner, author of a University of San Diego Master's Thesis, Richard Requa, Southern California Architect, "the techniques and principles of design and construction which he learned from Gill would provide a basis for all of Requa's later independent work."3 By 1910, Requa felt ready with his newly acquired architectural knowledge, combined with his structural and electrical background, to open his own architectural firm. Soon he was designing homes for famiiy members and shortly after, he received h1s first commissions. In 1912, Requa's life took an interesting turn as he created a partnership with Frank Mead who had developed a lifelong interest in indigenous architecture. He lived for a number of years on Indian reservations in t he southwest and had traveled extensively studying the architecture of a wide range of cultures. His experience convinced Requa to broaden his horizons and he took an extended tour of Cuba, Panama, and South American, sha rpening his photography skills and learning an enormous amount about Mediterranean influenced architecture. While in partnership with Mead, the firm received many important commissions, including the job of redeveloping the town of Ojai, California for the "cut glass king/ ' E. D. Libbey. This project took many years and allowed Requa to develop many ideas about architecture that integrated all elements- numerous buildings, landscapes, and exterior and interior designs that harmonized. He would later use these ideas of town planning in his concepts for the design of Rancho Sa nta Fe.4

Property History continued:
The economy of San Diego changed with the advent of World War I and the decision to hold the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in Balboa Park. The upswing of the economy brought a great deal of work to the firm of Mead and Requa, including the commission to design the new expanded facilities at Rockwell Field, the Army Air Force facility on North Island. This gave Requa a chance to work with another famous architect, Albert Ka hn from Detroit. During this period of work, Requa designed a new type of interlocking hollow clay tile to solve the problem of wasted tiles around door and window frames. He used this tile extensively in the majority of his future buildings.5
Frank Mead left the firm in 1920 to spend more time traveling and Herbert Jackson, a structural engineer, joined Requa in a new partnership. Requa began to engage in civic affairs in the early 1920s, becoming one of the eight founding members of the San Diego Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (in 1910), and expanding that chapter to include Southern California in the 1920s. He also served in various positions in the San Diego Arts Guild, the Archaeological Institute of America Club, the Advertising Club and the Chamber of Commerce, allowing him to make extensive business contacts for future commissions. Early in the 1920s, he met the president of Monolith Portland Cement Company, Coy Burnett of Los Angeles, creating a very successful and artistically rewarding relationship that lasted for many years. Burnett had an idea which prominently featured Requa and his knowledge of architecture. Burnett wanted to create a series of books featuring new ways to use cement for builders and architects and he hired Requa to travel and photograph buildings in Europe and Africa. The trips were underwritten by Monolith but Requa was able to use the trips for inspiration and acquisition of antique hardware, doors or grilles for the houses he designed. His architectural knowledge expanded enormously as he viewed the indigenous architect ure which was created to meld with the local climate. From these combined experiences, he developed his concepts for the architectural style which he termed "Southern California style."6
Requa traveled extensively through the 1920s, publishing his first book for Monolith, entitled Architectural Details: Spain and the Mediterranean in 1926. In this book, Requa formalized his personal design philosophy about the appropriate elements for what he termed Southern California architecture. Since his first book had received such acclaim, it was announced that Requa would embark on another tour in 1928. The book that resulted from the extensive 1928 trip through North Africa, Europe and the Mediterranean region was named Old World Inspiration for American Architecture. The book contained

beautiful photographs taken by Requa with essays on the architecture of the region. Another book followed showing New World adaptations of Mediterranean style architecture.7 During this time of discovery and travel, Requa and Jackson garnered many new commissions which kept their architectural firm busy through the 1920s. One of their most important new commissions in 1922 was the chance to design another town. This town was to be known as Rancho Santa Fe and it allowed Requa to fully explore his ideas about Mediterranean influenced architecture and town planning. The project went on for several years, and finally Lillian Rice, a staff architect in the firm, was put in cha rge to finish out the plans. The firm employed an average of four or five draftsmen during the 1920s, and at times, depending on the level of work, the number rose to twice that many employees working to meet deadlines for clients. Eventually the firm brought one of those young draftsmen into the firm, Samuel Hamill, and the firm became known as Requa, Jackson, and Hamill.8
Numerous important commissions came to Requa during the 1920s and 1930s, including winning the competition to redesign the existing San Diego Chamber of Commerce building which won the firm six awards from the AlA. The firm also won the commission to restore the buildings from t he 1915 Exposition in Balboa Park and create new structures for the 1935 Exposition. This major project would dominate Requa' s work during the 1930s and the difficult years of the Great Depression when commissions were in short supply. His career was capped with the selection of Re qua to be one of the four architects to design the new County Administration Building. As World War II began to loom, the aircraft industries gea red up to meet defense industry needs and the flood of new workers in the factories all required housing. However, Requa's ability to participate in these changes was cut short by his sudden death from heart problems in June 1941.9
Although no evidence could be located that Requa was involved with the specific design of the subject property, the property is consistent with his "California style" that clearly influenced the architectural heritage of the Kensington area.

810. Significance Evaluations
Integrity
In addition to determining the significance of a property under local, state and federal critetia, it is necessary to assess whether the property has integrity. Integrity is the ability of a property to convey and maintain its significance. A property must not only be shown to be significant under the established criteria, it must also have integrity. In order to retain historic integrity, a property must possess several, and usually most, of the seven key aspects of integrity, which are location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association.
Application of the City's Guidelines for finding Integrity:
According to the City's Guidelines for the application of the Historical Resources Board Designation Criteria,10 there are tw.o important principles for understanding Integrity:
1. Integrity is the authenticity of a historical resource's physical integrity clearly indicated by the retention of characteristics that existed during the resource's period of significa nce.

810. Significance Evaluations continued:
2. Integrity relates to the presence or absence of historic materials and character defining features.
Application of the seven aspects of integrity:
Location: Location is the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred.
The c. 1929 single family residence remains in its original location. Therefore, this integrity aspect is met for the property.
Design: Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property.
The c. 1929 single family residence retains its original design elements. The original design is intact and only minimal alterations have taken place. Therefore, the building meets the design integrity requirements.
Setting: Setting is the physical environment of a historic property.
As indicated by the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps and the overall history of the Kensington area, the high end residential setting has been maintained to the present time. The original layout, design concepts and main themes of the Kensington community have remained intact and the neighborhood has maintained its historic character.
Materials: Materials are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property.
The integrity of the original materials of the residential building has been retained and the property retains its materials integrity element.
Workmanship: Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory.
The quality of the original workmanship has been maintained from the original construction of the residential building. The workmanship element has been retained.
Feeling: Feeling is a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. State of California - The Resources Agency Primary# ____ DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# _____ RESIDENTIAL BUILDING, STRUCTURE, AND OBJECT RECORD NRHP Status Code _ill

B10. Significance Evaluations continued:
As indicated by the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps and the overall history of the Kensington area, the high end residential setting has been maintained to the present time. The original layout, design concepts and main themes of the Kensington community have remained intact and the neighborhood has maintained its historic character. The historic feeling of the Kensington Heights c. 1920s neighborhood has remained intact.
Association: Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property.
The property has not been determined to be directly linked to an important historic person or event in local history. The property has been used primarily as residential property from the 1920s to the present and is part of t he overall growth and development of the historic Kensington neighborhood. Therefore, the property retains this aspect of integrity.
Historic Context
According to the Guidelines for the Application of Historical Resources Board Designation Criteria, the significance of a historic property can be judged and explained only when it is evaluated in its historic context. Historic contexts are those patterns or trends in history by which a specific occurrence, property or site is understood and its meaning (and ultimately its significance) within history is made clear. In order to decide whether a property is significant within its historic context, the following things must be determined. 11
1. Identify the themes, geographical limits and chronological period that the property represents:
The subject property was constructed as part of the c. 1926-1930 development of the Kensington Heights Unit No. 3 development. The residence was built in 1929 so it represents the formative period of the Kensington neighborhood.
The decision was made by the developing company, Davis-Baker, to create high end, quality homes on large lots with specific design concepts, quality of materials, and specific restrictions to create buildings that conformed to the developer's concepts of a quality subdivision. The subject property represents these formative concepts as it was sited on a large, canyon edge lot with views of Mission Valley; a large, single family home was constructed of quality materials and it met the specific design requirements in

The development company, Davis-Barker, chose noted San Diego architect, Richard Requa to form a design committee to oversee and ensure the construction of ''California style" homes which would use historic elements from the Hispanic period of San Diego's history. Requa specialized in these concepts in his professional work and implemented design concepts that embraced the Hispanic romantic ideal. The subject property exemplifies the architectural trends and design concepts for the planned
Kensington community as it is a good example of the Spanish Eclectic style and includes many of the major definitive Spanish Eclectic character defining design concepts.
1. Determine how the theme of the context is significant in the history of the local area:
The theme of the context is that the subject property was developed as part of the overall residential development of the City of San Diego in the 1920s. Planned subdivisions such as Kensington brought wealthier residents to the area that enhanced the local communities and built homes of distinction. A su bstantial portion of these 1920s era homes remain as part of the historic architectural stock of the San Diego community. Kensington Heights was one of the earliest planned communities in San Diego and the design of the homes reflects the current building trends while maintaining a link with San Diego's historic Hispanic heritage.
2. Determine what the property type is and whether it is important in illustrating the historic context:
The su bject property is a Spanish Eclectic style, single-family residence which was built in 1928-1929 as part of the overall development of the Kensington Heights Unit No.3 subdivision. The subdivision was a planned community designed to create a high end residential community on the edge of Mission Valley. The subject property exemplifies the ideals and Hispanic design concepts as determined by the development company, Davis-Barker and implemented by Richard Requa.
4. Determine how the property represents the context through HRB Criteria:
The property exemplifies or reflects the special elements of the City's, community's and neighborhood's economic and architectural development under Criterion A since it is a good example of the residential development in the Kensington Heights area. The subject property was built during the formative period of the Kensington Heights subdivision and is a good example of the type of home that was required by the community developers, Davis-Baker.

B10. Significance Evaluations continued:
The single family home on t he subject property is not significant under Criterion B: Person for its association with members of the Kensington Heights community. No evidence was located to indicate that the individuals associated with the property played a significant or greater role in the development of the Kensington Heights area.
The c. 1929 Spanish Eclectic style residential building is considered to meet the criteria for significance under Criterion C. It is not only a good example of the Spanish Eclectic style of architecture but it also serves as an excellent example of the overall concepts of Kensington community development as created by Davis-Barker and implemented by Richard Requa .
The c. 1929 Spanish Eclectic style residential building is not significant under Criterion D: Master Architect as no architects were identified in connection with the design and construction of the property.
5. Determine what physical features the property must possess in order for it to reflect the significance of the historic co ntext:
The c. 1929 single family residence includes the key primary and secondary character defining features of the Spanish Eclectic style and represents a significant and unaltered example of that style. The size of the residence and the quality of the materials followed the required spatial and materials concepts as devised by the developers to ensure a high quality level of construction. In addition, the size of the lot and its placement along the canyon edge meets the requirements of the subdivision requirements as planned by the Davis-Barker Company.
Application of the San Diego Historical Resources Board Designation Criteria
According to the City of San Diego Land Development Code, Historical Resource Guidelines (Adopted September 28, 1999; Amended June 6, 2000; April 30, 2001), a building, structure, sign, interior element and fixture, feature, site, place, district, area or object may be designated as a historic by the City of San Diego Historical Resources Board if it meets any of the following criteria.
Criterion A: Community Development: If it exemplifies or reflects special elements of a City's, a . community's or a neighborhood's historical, archaeological, cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, landscaping or architectural development.
The subject property was constructed as part of the c. 1926-1930 development of the Kensington Heights Unit No. 3 development.

Criterion 8: Person: Is identified with persons significant in local, state, or national history; rhe property was owned by various owners over the decades that occupied the single family residence. None of t he owners or occupants are considered to have affected the course of local, state, or national history.
Criterion C: Architecture: Embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of construction or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship;
Spanish Eclectic Architectural Style
The Spanish Eclectic style uses design elements borrowed from a varied history of Spanish architecture, including Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles and combines them in a range of uses. Prior to 1920, Spanish influenced buildings were designed in a Mission style, reflecting California's heritage from its Colonial settlement period. However, after 1920, the major influence came from the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. According to McAlester and McAlester, "The exposition was designed by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, who had previously authored a detailed st udy of Spanish Colonial architecture. Goodhue wanted to go beyond the then prevalent Mission interpretations and emphasize the richness of Spanish precedents found throughout Latin America. Inspired by the wide publicity given t he exposition, other fashionable architects soon began to look directly to Spain for source material. There they found a still longer and richer sequence of architectural State of California - The Resources Agency Primary# ____ DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# _____ RESIDENTIAL BUILDING, STRUCTURE, AND OBJECT RECORD NRHP Status Code 552

BlO. Significance Evaluations continued: traditions which became melded into a style that they continued to call the Spanish Colonial Revival. Because of its broad roots, we prefer the more inclusive Spanish Eclectic."12
The typical features of Spanish Eclectic design include:
* low-pitched roof with little or no eave overhang * red tile roof *arches above central doors and windows *stucco exteriors *additional one- or two-story wings *asymmetrical fac;:ade *one or two stories in height *side-gabled, cross-gabled, hipped or flat roQfs *rectangular to "L" -shaped footprint *wings of differing heights *doors can be heavy, carved, impressive wooden doors dominating the main fac;:ade *arches or spiral columns *towers *pilasters or other decorative elements at main entrance area *different size and shaped windows *large focal picture window *exterior gardens and patios *balconies w ith wrought iron railings *decorative window grilles and balustrades of wood or iron *fountains, walled gardens *tile terraces *wrought iron accent elements
The subject building includes the following characteristics of the Spanish Eclectic style:
*low-pitched roof with little or no eave overhang *red tile roof *arch above central door *stucco exteriors *additional one- or two-story wings

Therefore, since the subject residence contains the majority of the character defining features of the Spanish Eclectic style, the building is considered to meet the criteria for significance for Criterion C: Architecture as a good example of the Spanish Eclectic architectural style. The minimal alterations to the East and South facades, a~ discussed above under B.6 Alterations, have not impacted the building's ability to serve as a good and intact example of Spanish Eclectic architecture.
Due to the fact that no indigenous materials went into the construction of the residence, it is not a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship.
Criterion D: Master Architect: Is representative of the able work of a master builder, designer, architect, engineer, landscape architect, interior designer, artist, or craftsman;
No architect, designer, engineer, landscape architect, interior designer, artist, or craftsman was identified as connected with the single family residence located on the subject property. Therefore, the building cannot be considered to be the work of a master architect as no architect was identified as responsible for the design of the Spanish Eclectic structure.
Conclusion:
The subject property contains a c. 1929 single family residence that was designed in the Spanish Eclectic architectural style and retains its original design. The residence was constructed during the formative years of the Kensington Height Unit No. 3 subdivision and exemplifies the values, design concepts and specific requirements for the community as planned and developed by the Davis-Barker Company. The residence is considered to be significant under Criterion A: Community Development and Criterion C: Architecture. The residential building meets none of the other established criteria for significance.
