The home's setting is in the suburban residential neighborhood of Mission Hills. The subject property at 2166 Pine Street displays the character defining features indicative of the Spanish Eclectic/Revival style. The home utilizes an asymmetrical façade with a red clay tiled front gabled roof. The home utilizes an extending shed roof sheltering a side facing entry porch on the right side which is itself supported by large rusticated wooden beams. The front façade utilizes clay roof tiles along the front façade and a flat roof with parapet sheltering the rear of the home. The home utilizes hand finished medium sand stucco surfacing with a front sloping stucco surfaced chimney at the front. The home displays an arched lancet entryway door and deeply inset front windows on both sides of the front facing end chimney. The exterior door and windows all utilize a soft inset stucco reveal in keeping with the home's Spanish Eclectic/Revival style.

A simple front stucco end chimney tops the front gable end with a flat metal spark arrestor. The house has a low pitched Mission red clay tiled roof and eaves with slight overhang and decorative rafter tails seen at the eave ends. The home also has overlapping edge Mission double tiles along the top ends of the gable ends. Hand laid sandy finish stucco wall surfacing is visible around the home. Rectangular clay tile attic vents and original rectangular true divided light wooden casement windows are also seen around all elevations of the home. The front gable wing end is dominated by the front facing stucco chimney and single flanking deep inset focal windows seen on each side of the gable. These and other arched features, stucco surfacing and clay tile roof are again all indicative features of the Spanish Eclectic/Revival style. Set back on the right, the flat roof attached single car garage also has a flat roof with simple parapet. To the left of the home, a front garden shed style structure and site wall connects to the home on the left side separated by a wooden side gate.

On the front façade, the gable end projects forward while the raised front side porch with a lancet arched entry front door and forward facing double French door set is seen on the right. The front gabled elevation appears to extend from the front to the back, but is actually a flat roof with parapet seen behind. The descending canyon at the rear exposes a lower level basement area at the rear. The stucco is light colored and all windows are dark blue painted wood unless noted. The home is in excellent overall condition. The home has underwent a recent restoration and interior remodel.

The Spanish Revival style, also known as the Spanish Eclectic style, became popular in 1915 with the creation of the California pavilion and other buildings for the Panama California Exposition in San Diego. At the Exposition, architect Bertram Goodhue built upon earlier Mission Revival styles and added a more varied and accurate representation of original 16th century Spanish buildings. This romantic, sophisticated style borrowed from a broader rich vocabulary of Moorish, Spanish Baroque, Renaissance and Mediterranean architectural traditions with detailing often based on actual prototypes in Spain. The San Diego Exposition, along with Goodhue and other designers, publicized and promoted the style's popularity and it became a craze in California in the late 1920's and early 1930's.

This is an excellent example of a Spanish Eclectic/Revival home designed by recognized Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger. The home utilizes a compound floor plan with side driveway and attached single car garage. The home displays short decorative scroll saw cut rafter tails seen below the eaves of the tile covered rooflines along with simple straight parapets around the flat roofs. The home has the defining architectural features indicative of the Spanish Eclectic/Revival style, including the asymmetrical façade, low pitched red tile roof, eaves with shallow overhangs, stucco surfacing, arched doors and entry doorways. The home has a sandy irregular stucco exterior surfacing throughout. The home has retained very good overall architectural integrity and excellent integrity from the public view.

*P3a. Description (continued):

Southwest (Front) Elevation – The low pitched gabled roof of the house has hand laid red clay barrel tiles in an irregular pattern in keeping with the rustic Spanish aesthetic and design. On the extending left wing gable, a simple square stucco end chimney with downward sloping sides tops the front facing gable with a flat metal spark arrestor. The stucco chimney is flanked on each side by pairs of rectangular wooden casement windows with a vertical alignment. The low pitched front gabled clay tile roof is seen sloping down on each side of this central end chimney. The Mission red clay double tiles spill over the edge of the gable end with wooden rafter tails with a slight overhang on the eave ends, in keeping with the Spanish aesthetic and design. The asymmetrical main front elevation has an L-shaped configuration with a raised covered front porch. A flat roof and simple flat parapet top the right side of the home with decorative rectangular attic vents laid in a horizontal pattern. The clay tile gable roof extends to the right and transitions to a shed roof above the covered front porch.

To the far right, a front facing lower shed roof covered entry porch is placed in front of the rear flat roof and parapet. To the right of the front porch, below the tile roof and exposed wooden rafter tails, On the raised covered corner front porch, an arched doorway opening face to the east on the front and to the south side. A side facing solid wooden front entry door features a metal grille and is recessed into the rectangular stucco wall surfacing. Facing the front covered porch is a grouping of two rectangular wooden French doors with ten light configuration with horizontal and vertical wooden muntins in the original opening with raised sill matching the others seen on the front elevation. To the right is a long driveway and original attached single car garage with wooden garage door.

Southeast (Side) Elevation – This portion of the house faces the side driveway which expands out to meet the later double car garage. This two-story elevation continues the side gabled Mission half barrel roof with little overhang and decorative cut rafter beams seen at the eaves and matching the other elevations. This view of the side façade shows a clay tile gabled roof to the front (left) which transitions to a flat roof and parapet to the rear (right) of the home. The simple stucco end chimney is seen to the front on the left of the extending front wing. Below the side gable roof line, extending wooden rafter tails with shaped edge supported a rusticated horizontal beam supported by square wooden beams and ogee shaped brackets, visible below the eave line. Along the sheltered front entry porch on the left is a lancet arched entry with solid wooden mahogany door with original brass hardware. This doorway retains the original soft inset stucco reveal. To the right, under the sheltered porch, a set of double wooden French doors face the front of the home. A simple wrought iron hanging sconce lighting fixture is located to the right of the front door.

To the right of the covered entry porch, the roof transitions to a flat roof with parapet and rectangular horizontal attic vents. Just below the decorative attic grille is an inset rectangular double window opening with tall rectangular casement windows with wooden lower sill matching the others seen on the home. Each casement window holds a three part multi-light window with frosted glazed panes. To the right, a pair of original wooden casement windows displays original leaded stained glass with heraldic shield design. To the right, the flat roof and parapet continues to the rear with a slightly lower level flat roof and parapet covering the attached garage.

Northwest (Side) Elevation – The side view of the extending front gable is seen at the front (right side) with red clay tiles and wooden rafter tails seen below the eave. This elevation drops dramatically into the rear canyon below with a large wooden deck separating the (main) upper and the lower (basement) level. A small stucco surfaced shed and site wall with wooden gate connects to the home and divides the public front portion and the more private side deck area of the home. This description will be from right to left along the upper deck level and then beneath the deck to the lower level rear area.

*P3a. Description (continued):

On the right, beneath the red tiled roof a double grouping of rectangular three light wooden casement windows are seen. To the left, the roof transitions from a forward facing gable to a flat roof with parapet at the rear of the home. Below the rear flat roof and parapet are three rectangular attic vents with vertical slats in a horizontal alignment matching those seen on the other elevations. These rectangular vents are inset with vertical wooden grilles. Underneath the flat roof and first attic vent, a double rectangular French door set is into the side façade. Just to the left, a rare (for the era) corner fixed window set is located on the left corner with a slight setback behind on the left. This unusual modernistic corner window is rarely seen on Spanish Eclectic/Revival homes of the 1920's, but was undoubtedly designed to provide immersive views of the natural rear canyon area. This corner window grouping is very original as seen on the 1931 historic photo of the northwest side elevation (please see Attachment D.1). Set back to the (left), a double window set is seen with rectangular three light wooden casement windows. Underneath a rear rectangular attic vent is a wooden paneled service door at the back, near the rear left corner. The home displays an interesting original rear cantilever, extending out approximately three feet over the canyon and beyond the lower level below (see Attachment D.2). On the lower level beneath the wooden deck, a three window grouping with rectangular wooden casements is located on the right, with three pane rectangular glazing and then stepped back to the left is a matching two window grouping of three pane true divided light wooden casement windows.

Northeast (Rear) Elevation – The rear elevation of the home utilizes a two-story elevation with the main level and exposed basement level seen below. This elevation is topped by a flat roof with simple unadorned parapet and rectangular attic vents. Starting on the top level, on the left at the rear of the garage is a wooden double casement matching window with matched pair directly below on the first level. Set back slightly to the right on the upper levl, is a newer triple French door providing access to the upper level balcony with a double casement window on the right. On the lower level, a newer basement rear addition provides access to the rear yard. To the right of this addition, a small original rectangular window opening contains two wooden windows with three light casement windows which matches the other original windows seen on the home and sits below a slightly cantilevered upper level. This rear elevation is not in the public view. A rear / side wooden deck has been built projecting out from the house along the rear to the right. This rear wooden deck area is also not visible from the front or the public view.

Rear Writer's Cabin built in 1930 by author Alan LeMay (individually historically significant and built within LeMay's 1929-1936 Period of Significance) – A detached rustic writer's cabin is located behind the home extending out above the canyon below. This writer's cabin was constructed in 1930 for historically significant novelist, short story author and screenwriter Alan LeMay, who owned the home from 1929 to 1936 and had the writer's cabin constructed as a private workspace just steps away from his main home. A San Diego Evening Tribune construction permit is dated May 27,1930 and indicates that historically significant owner and resident Alan LeMay hired builder Charles W. Diffin to complete unspecified work to 2166 Pine St. According to a January 2019 interview that Kiley Wallace of Legacy 106, Inc. conducted with Alan LeMay's son and Alan LeMay biography author Dan LeMay, he believes that this 1930 building permit was for the detached "writer's cabin" at the rear of the property that LeMay had constructed at this time. The rustic cabin features the original unpainted vertical board and batten and three light casement windows as seen in the 1931 historic photo (please see Attachment D.1). The writer's cabin is significant because this was the location where LeMay wrote many of his most important early stories and also because the Indiana born author and recent transplant to the west, was at the time learning about the legendary Western U.S. history of cowboys, Indians and horseback riding that would lead to his most significant seminal works. The house reflects this appreciation and fondness for the early American West that LeMay later brought to life in short stories, novels and in movies made from his books like The Searchers and The Unforgiven. The cabin displays a side gable design with an extending

*P3a. Description (continued): shed roof porch overhang on the north side. The cabin utilizes an attached wooden deck that extends over the canyon below. The cabin displays the original unpainted vertical redwood board and batten surfacing. All windows appear original along with window openings with wide wood casings, extending wooden sills and rustic wooden doors. The rustic cabin closely matches the design seen in the 1931 historical photo and 1950's era Residential Building Record sketch plan. Therefore, this rear detached writer's cabin portion is recommended for inclusion in historical designation.

House Naming - The Alan LeMay / William Wahrenberger Speculation House #4 House utilizes the City of San Diego naming convention incorporating the name of the first occupant, historic individual and author / screenwriter Alan LeMay. Alan lived in the home from approximately 1929 to 1936 with his wife Esther, during his most productive years in San Diego. Alan LeMay also applied for building permits in 1930 and 1935 as seen in Attachment A.4. For designations under Criterion C, it has been the precedent of the Historic Resources Board to include married spouses along with the first owner, even if only one name is listed on the original title. However, in this case, the home is being named under Criterion B for historically significant individual Alan LeMay. The home is also named in recognition of its builder, established Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger.

Interior Architectural Features – not proposed for inclusion in designation. The living room and entryway have been remodeled over the years, although the home retains some original features including the decorative interior roof beams. The Alan LeMay writer's cabin in particular has a remarkably well preserved interior with open strut ceiling and original unpainted board and batten interior wood surfacing.

Landscaping / Yard Setting / Site Walls - The front yard is mostly grass lawn with a raised front covered porch entrance and driveway area seen on the right with a newer city approved and differentiated small shed and gate seen on the left. A side deck extends on the northwestern side of the home out into the canyon at the rear. This deck has been rebuilt several times as needed over the years, most recently in 2017, but is similar to the earliest deck seen extending in the 1931 historic photo. The rear landscaping area displays terrace stone (rounded river rock or arroyo stone) low site walls extending into the canyon below with different sizes of small drought tolerant plants and shrubs. These site walls do not appear to be original to the home and a 2019 interview with Alan LeMay's son Dan LeMay, who lived in the home from 1929 to 1936, revealed that Dan did not remember the stone walls and did not remember his father Alan building these rear terraced cobblestone site walls. Dan LeMay said that although his father did like to do home projects and make improvements to homes he owned (as seen in the chimney extension and rear writer's cabin), he does not remember these site walls being added or existing during his time in the home.

Architectural Style: Spanish Eclectic/Revival style *B6. Construction History: (Construction date, alterations, and date of alterations) Construction on the home began in mid-1927 and was completed September 1927. The original Notice of Completion states that construction was completed on September 15, 1927, and the Notice was recorded on September 21, 1927. The water permit is dated June 8, 1927. A San Diego Evening Tribune building permit notice dated June 10, 1927 states, stucco cottage and garage - W. F. Wahrenberger, showing that the home was designed and built by established Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger. The Residential Building Record lists the estimated construction date as 1928 and the County Lot and Block Book shows it as 1928 and lists both historic individual Alan LeMay and recognized Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger as owners. The Notice of Completion indicates that property owner William F. Wahrenberger constructed the residence and garage. The home is first listed in the San Diego city directory in 1929 (usually listed the year after the home was completed), but it is listed as "vacant." A circa 1931 historical photo of side elevation and rear writer's cabin is attached (Historical Photographs, Attachment D.1). The sewer permit is dated March 28, 1941 and is probably for plumbing work or a later connection. Alan LeMay's Rear Writer's Cabin. A San Diego Evening Tribune construction permit is dated May 27,1930 and indicates that historically significant owner and resident Alan LeMay hired builder Charles W. Diffin to complete unspecified work to 2166 Pine St. According to a January 2019 interview that Kiley Wallace of Legacy 106, Inc. conducted with Alan LeMay's son and Alan LeMay Biography author Dan LeMay, he believes that this 1930 building permit was for the detached "writer's cabin" at the rear of the property that LeMay had constructed around this time. The contractor, Charles W. Diffin, was also an author who knew Alan LeMay from a local authors' club. Another San Diego Evening Tribune building permit dated October 1934, also lists historic individual Alan LeMay and is to repair the fire place after a fire in the chimney. The front stucco chimney was extended by Alan LeMay in front in 1934. This included the additional material added onto the front chimney described in detail in the integrity analysis section. Finally, an October 1935 building permit also lists historic person Alan LeMay and is for unspecified alteration. Construction permits include a 1977 building permit # 141050 for the side shed with site wall, new deck and lists "addition of new deck, kiosk and storage." The kiosk may refer to a three-sided Jacuzzi screen fence that has since been removed. After a rear kitchen fire, permits were obtained under Project # 557027 (Approval 1959565), 584691, 588999 and 609178, and includes misc. repair and remodeling and restoration including French door and window sash repair. The project was approved by City of San Diego Historic Resources Department staff and includes differentiation of the side shed and site wall / gate. Based on careful site examination and evaluation of historical and transitional photos, a side French door pair replaced a double side window se on the northwest side. This changes is set back on the side and is well outside of the public view. (Attachment A.4). (See Continuation Sheet). *B7. Moved? No Yes Unknown Date: Original Location: *B8.

*B10. Significance - Criterion A:

Criterion A: Exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City’s, a community’s or a neighborhood’s historical, archaeological, cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, landscaping or architectural development.

The Alan LeMay / William Wahrenberger Speculation House #4 at 2166 Pine Street was found to not rise to the level of exemplifying special elements of the community's historical, archaeological, cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, landscaping or architectural development. Although the house reflects and contributes to our understanding of Mission Hills as a hub for Spanish Eclectic design in the late 1920's and early 1930's, the home was not the first of this type in the area or a model home. No information came to light to determine that the resource rose to a level of significance to qualify for designation under Criterion A. The following discussion provides the background for that conclusion.

Introduction. Although the Mission Hills and Inspiration Heights communities have a number of individual homes that have been designated as historic for their significance, there remains much to be learned about how these neighborhoods developed, the reasons for the architectural styles that were built, and the lives of the people who lived and worked there. Criterion A evaluations are often complicated because they require the presentation of broad contexts and associations to establish the significance of the special elements of importance. The single most important mechanism to bring new information forward to better understand these communities is the intensive research associated with individual houses nominations. Legacy 106, Inc. and other researchers and homeowners have written additional nominations that now form an important body of primary research about the area.

Beginning Development - Arnold & Choate’s Addition, Map 334 (1872). This Mission Hills community is a quiet neighborhood with vicinity maps that date back to November 29, 1872, when the County of San Diego recorded Arnold & Choate’s Addition, Map 334, to the City of San Diego. At that time, there were no known houses or farms in this rugged, dry upland overlooking Mission Valley to the north and San Diego Bay to the south. Most of the lots were purchased and sold with little more development than clearing the Coastal sage scrub vegetation for dirt roads, if that. People who bought and sold those vacant lots were ranchers, store clerks, bank employees, and speculators attempting to earn money on the appreciation of their investments. For the most part, houses and ranches apparently did not begin to appear until sometime after 1905, however, this is a topic requiring more study.

In 1890, Map 634 North Florence Heights, was recorded. North Florence Heights is upland and north of Middletown, east of Mission Hills Map 1115 (1908) and west of Arnold and Choate’s Addition, Map 334. E.H. Miller, County Recorder, filed the 32.35 acre map on June 9, 1890. The map created the 10-acre Pioneer Cemetery, evenly divided in half to segregate the Catholic and Protestant occupants. North of the cemetery were twelve full-size residential blocks and three small blocks.

Calhoun and Randolph streets on either side of the central row up the center, flanked by Stephens on the west and Clay on the east. From north to south, Miller separated the blocks by Hunter, Stockton (now Arbor), Broadway (now Montecito), Lewis, and Getti (now Fort Stockton Drive). Several undivided blocks to the east of the cemetery completed the subdivision.

Corrections were made to the subdivision and recorded on February 19, 1915. From Old Town, a waterline served North Florence Heights through Lewis and Randolph Streets. At the time of creation of the North Florence Heights Map 634 in 1890, native vegetation and the Villa Orizaba lay to the west of Pioneer Cemetery. Downhill south of the cemetery, Middletown blocks lay in deep ravines, canyons, and

*B10. Significance - Criterion A (continued): the lower terraces around the edge of San Diego Bay. Ephraim Morse laid out Middletown in the 1870s and clusters of mariner’s shacks, small Victorian cottages, stores, saloons, and commercial buildings comprised the nearest town. A dirt road up what is now Washington connected North Florence Heights with Five Points, two cross-roads in Middletown that connected Old Town with Horton’s Addition further to the south.

When Arnold & Choates recorded Map 334 in 1872, they did not assign a name to the community. The area north of University Avenue and Washington assumed the general name of North Florence Heights by this point in time. The March 19, 1903 issue of the San Diego Union announced “Big Auction Sale of Town Lots, North Florence Heights Addition” to be held the following week. William Brewster organized a spectacular event with a band concert, high dive act, and promotional give away of a real estate lot on the day of the auction. The City of San Diego, Public

Works held a special meeting on March 16, 1903 to legalize the lots for sale. On March 19th, the City Council held a special meeting to pass an ordinance that allowed Florence Heights Addition No. 2 owner L.N. Mills to auction off the lots. Auction sales ranged from $5 to $250 per lot for a total of $14,097.50. Speculators bought blocks of lots for resale and home construction.

A number of researchers are currently involved in various aspects of long-term intensive study of the greater Mission Hills community. Future research may provide further insights into community land ownership and subjects such as Kate Sessions’ nursery lands, Milton Sessions’ poinsettia farms around Palmetto Street; the acquisition of land to create the Francis Parker School; the nature of “Maggie’s Folly,” or Maggie Bowersock’s ownership of the canyon lands just west of Arbor Street; the evolution of Pioneer Cemetery; and the development of the West Lewis Street commercial center between Stephens and Ingalls Streets.

Early History The Native American peoples who occupied San Diego in the nineteenth century were the Kumeyaay. Little is known of their use of this upland area, but the lack of natural water would suggest ephemeral behavior activities.

The early history of Mission Hills is associated with the Native American people who used the local resources such as the San Diego River that flowed to the west into San Diego Bay, as well as the coastal and bay environments. The evidence for the presence of these early residents goes back in archaeological form at least 9,000 years, based on analysis of base camps found along the San Diego River’s south bank, associated river terraces, and coastal sites. Foot beaten trails criss-crossed these remote areas and the occasional overnight campsite has been recorded in archaeological surveys, but no long-term encampments are known. Oral traditions handed down by descendants remind us that this area and its proximity to Old Town and the San Diego Presidio are vitally important to San Diego’s history.

In 1642 Spanish sailors briefly visited San Diego while on a reconnaissance exploration of the Pacific coast. Another recorded visit was in 1769, and the subsequent period would in many ways define San Diego’s character and history as we know it today. Spanish and Mexican soldiers and residents of the 1769-1835 Royal Presidio de San Diego de Cosoy ran livestock in the area, which denuded some of the native plants from these hills.

Pueblo Lands. Following the Mexican War, ratification of the California Constitution, the U.S. Topographic survey created the Township and Range land mapping system. Under this system, San Diego received

rights and ownership of Pueblo Land that theoretically belonged to the Mexican pueblo. The Common Council hired a private land surveyor to subdivide and create Pueblo Lots, which they sold at public auction to operate the city government. Reserved from these Pueblo Lots were private land grants and federal lands. Pueblo Lot A covered this portion of San Diego in the 19th century. After Statehood in 1849 and adoption of the Constitution by the United States Congress in 1850, the City of San Diego Common Council assumed control over an enormous “Pueblo Land” area that spanned from Del Mar to the north, Pacific Ocean on the west, inland foothills on the east, and National City on the south. In terms of land division, Lieutenant Cave Couts surveyed San Diego and produced a map of the Pueblo Lands in 1850. Charles Poole produced the next map in 1856 to correct errors and inaccuracies in the Couts Map. In 1870, James Pascoe produced the final early map, which is the basis for land transactions today.

Pueblo Lot A and the Acreage Lands. The Common Council divided Pueblo Lot A into quarters, which were themselves divided yet again into ownerships of ¼. The most famous early owner of the Pueblo Lot A lands was Henry James Johnston, captain of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s wooden side-wheel steamer S.S. Orizaba. He sailed a regular circuit between San Francisco and San Diego, and many of San Diego’s early pioneers left accounts of their travels with him on his vessel between these two ports of call. But before he could develop the land, he died and his widow inherited. A resident of San Francisco, she never visited Pueblo Lot A and, upon her death in 1886, it passed on to her daughter, who subdivided the land into Johnston Heights. Sarah Johnston Cox had the property re-surveyed and commissioned construction of a Victorian house on the land to help market the lots. This house, the Villa Orizaba, remains today, but it has been substantially altered. Cox never realized her dream to develop Johnston Heights, and when she died, her son inherited the property, and he created his own map, Inspiration Heights, which did develop into a successful tract. Much of the rest of Pueblo Lot A remained in single ownership as small ranches, orchards, or farms until the early twentieth century.

Realtors auctioned lot blocks and individual lots and speculators and investors snapped them up only to resell them once again, hoping for great profits. From 1850 to 1900, many of these transactions were simply lot sales that most homeowners never see on their chain of title. The eastern foothills overlooking Old Town San Diego were subdivided by the City of San Diego in the 1850s so the Trustees could auction-off blocks of lots to pay for governmental affairs. Difficult to access by horse or buggy, these hills remained in native chaparral until piped water could access the highlands at the beginning of the 20th century. Large lot orchards watered by rain-fed cisterns and seasonal rains characterized the uplands until sometime after 1880.

Captain Henry James Johnston, famous as the captain of the side-wheeler Orizaba, purchased 65.1 acres of Pueblo Lot 1121 on February 16, 1869. He sold 32.55 acres to his First Mate, Ormsby Hite, Jr., but sadly died in San Francisco from an injury at sea before he could retire to his ranch with his family. His widow, Ellen Johnston, remained in San Francisco and gifted the land to her daughter Sarah, Johnston’s step-daughter, in 1887 (Bevil 1995:11). She hired land surveyors and then named the area “Johnston Heights” in memory of her stepfather (Subdivision Map No. 204, filed June 1886).

Part of this land was later divided again into two other maps, “Inspiration Heights” and Map 1115 which would eventually became Randolph Terrace. One of Mission Hills’ most famous residences was the Queen Anne style house Sarah commissioned. She incorporated portions of the Orizaba, which had been decommissioned and was to be sold for scrap, into the house. The house still has a sideboard, keel timbers, and companionway railing from the ship’s salon incorporated into it, but the architectural style was later modernized from its original Queen Anne appearance to Prairie style (Bevil 1995:12). It is a favorite in house tours of Mission Hills.

*B10. Significance - Criterion A (continued):

Sarah named the completed house, “Villa Orizaba” (MacMullen 1959:51). Sadly, by the time it was finished, San Diego’s real estate market had crashed and the population dropped from 40,000 to 16,000 (MacPhail 1979:72). Sarah joined the exodus of the winter of 1887 and went to live with her mother in San Francisco, but left her new husband, Earnest A. Cox to arrange rental of the house. The house and lands rented from 1900 to 1908 and orchards of olive and citrus trees dotted the landscape during this period (MacMullen 1959:50). Not much is known about these early farmers and ranchers in Mission Hills and more research needs to be done on this topic.

In 1903, Sarah returned to San Diego and commissioned Oscar W. Cotton, a prominent real estate broker to market her property. She sold some of her land to the Union Title and Trust Company. Unexpectedly, Sarah died in 1907 and soon after Harry moved to San Diego to resolve her holdings. Map 1115 covers a significant area of the Mission Hills mesa, but it does not extend all the way north to the Mission Valley canyon rim. That property belonged to the extended Allen family, Harvey and Stella Allen, the son and daughter-in-law of Sereno D. and Phemie A. Allen, who owned Allen’s Dairy farm in Mission Valley.

Miller worked with individuals at the Union Title and Trust Company, the Kelly Investment Company, Home Investment Company, Mission Hills Company, and other investors, bankers, and real estate operators interested in Mission Hills. (Dodge 1960:43; Cotton 1962:224-226; Miller Probate Case No. 8933, May 29, 1920). The extended Kelly family, which included Charles Kelly, president, John L. Kelly, secretary, his sister Emma Squires, and members of the Gunn family, were a pioneer ranch family. Charles owned a livery stable downtown and in 1907 was instrumental in recommending that Presidio Hills be set-aside as a park. George Marston, civic leader, progressive in politics, and owner of Marston’s Department Store, became part of this extended family when he married Anna Gunn and they had their own children. Also involved were Marston’s in-laws, Tom Hamilton, and C.S. Hamilton, and a business associate, Elisha S. Babcock (developer of the Hotel del Coronado). Babcock was the only member not directly related to Marston.

The women of the family were also active investors, as evidenced by their individual names on deed, tax, and survey records. The Marstons, Gunns, Kellys, Hamiltons, and Squires were all part of a greater extended family with intertwined financial relationships, both in land acquisitions and in association with influential members of the community. Within the Mission Hills Company and Home Investment Company, there were primary investors who bought up entire blocks to resell.

Conclusion: The Alan LeMay / William Wahrenberger Speculation House #4 at 2166 Pine Street was not determined to qualify for designation under Criterion A. It was found to not rise to the level of exemplifying special elements of the community's historical, archaeological, cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, landscaping or architectural development. Although the house reflects and contributes to our understanding of the development history of Mission Hills as a community utilizing Spanish Eclectic/Revival design in the late 1920's, the home was not the first of this type in the area or a model home. No information came to light to determine that the resource rose to a level of significance to qualify for designation under Criterion A.

Criterion B: Is identified with persons or events significant in local, state, or national history. A summary of the individuals associated with this property is provided along with a conclusion regarding their significance under Criterion B.

The Alan LeMay / William Wahrenberger Speculation House #4 at 2166 Pine Street was constructed by established Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger in 1927. Wahrenberger sold the home to popular and prolific Western novelist, short story author and screenwriter Alan LeMay and Alan's wife Esther in July 1929, and the LeMays lived in the home with their two small children until selling it in 1936.

The Alan LeMay / William Wahrenberger Speculation House #4 is recommended for local San Diego listing as a historical resource under Criterion B for its association with author Alan LeMay. The following argument provides the basis for that conclusion.

Alan LeMay and Esther S. LeMay Owners and Residents, 1929 to 1936

Alan LeMay and wife Esther S. LeMay purchased 2166 Pine Street from Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger in 1929, and lived in the home with their two young children Joan and Dan until selling it in 1936. Alan LeMay was a famous, prolific and influential author in the Western genre, and his career became well-established by the early 1930's, during the time that he and his family lived at 2166 Pine Street. The lives of Alan and Esther LeMay are discussed at length in a 2012 book entitled Alan LeMay: A Biography of the Author of The Searchers, authored by their son Dan.

The home at 2166 Pine Street is the San Diego home most closely associated with Alan LeMay's career. It is the San Diego home he lived in the longest, from 1929 until 1936. In his 2012 book, Alan’s son Dan describes the period of 1930 to 1936, when the LeMay family lived at the subject property, as "great" for Alan's writing career and the family's prosperity. Dan wrote of that time period:

Alan's name became established so that he could sell almost anything he wrote. He averaged more than 20 publications a year, either short stories, short-shorts, or monthly episodes of a serialized novel... Westerns were king, and Alan had learned to crank them out at a pace that kept the LeMay family in an enviable lifestyle.

Alan's Early Life. Indianapolis, Indiana native Alan LeMay was born on June 3, 1899. His father John LeMay was a high school physics teacher, and Alan's mother Maude Brown was the daughter of an Indianapolis attorney. For approximately the first ten years of Alan's life, he and his parents were poor, and they lived in the home of his maternal grandparents.

Esther's Early Life. Esther Skinner was born in Michigan on April 15, 1900. Esther, her parents, and sister Victoria are listed in the 1900 U.S. Census as residents of Menominee, Michigan. Her father, Reverend Andrew C.V. Skinner, was a Presbyterian minister who immigrated to the U.S. from Scotland when he was approximately twenty years old.

Rev. Skinner's work as a minister took his family to several parts of the U.S., and he held positions at many Presbyterian churches. He primarily lived and worked in the Midwestern states, including Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin, but also lived in Colorado.

Alan Meets Esther. In late 1911, Esther's father, Rev. Skinner, was transferred from Lafayette, Indiana to a Presbyterian church in Indianapolis. He, his wife, and their three daughters moved into a home across

*B10. Significance - Criterion B (continued): the street from the LeMay family. Esther became close friends with Alan LeMay, who was about one year older than her, and they kept in touch when Alan moved with his parents to Aurora, Illinois in 1915. Their long distance relationship went on for the next seven years (LeMay 2012:15).

In the fall of 1916, Alan enrolled in Stetson University in Deland, Florida. After a year of college, he was eligible for an officer's commission in the Illinois National Guard, which he had wanted to join for a while. Alan received his Army commission as a Second Lieutenant and was quickly promoted to First Lieutenant, horse and reconnaissance, 124th Field Artillery of the Illinois National Guard (LeMay 2012:17). According to Alan's son Dan, this time with the National Guard started Alan's lifelong love of horses.

After a year at Stetson University, Alan took a year off to work odd jobs and save money before enrolling at his father's alma mater, the University of Chicago. Around this same time, Esther Skinner graduated with honors from high school in Indianapolis. She then enrolled in Western College in Oxford, Ohio, and was still in touch with Alan.

By 1920, Esther had moved with her parents and sisters to Rio Grande County, Colorado. On August 9, 1922, Alan LeMay and Esther married in Monte Vista, Colorado. Their wedding was officiated by Esther’s father, the Reverend Andrew C.V. Skinner (LeMay 2012:20). The couple then moved to the outskirts of Aurora, Illinois. In the early 1920's, Alan sold an occasional short story, but took a job at an Aurora area factory where he operated a sewing machine. Around this same time period in the early 1920's, Alan found work as a journalist for the Aurora Beacon News in Illinois. Esther worked as a school teacher.

According to his son Dan, Alan's first published work was a short story titled "Circles in the Sky", which was published in the December 30, 1919 issue of Detective Story Magazine. Alan published only one short story in 1920, none in 1921, and four in 1922.

Alan's Writing Career Takes Off. Alan's short stories became more in demand in the early to mid- 1920's, and in 1924 he sold several to Adventure magazine. He finished his first novel, Painted Ponies, in 1926. Esther had their first child, Joan “Jody” Skinner LeMay in January of that year.

Alan LeMay had a fascination with Mark Twain and his stories about life along the Mississippi River, and not long after the birth of daughter Joan, the LeMays moved to New Orleans and rented an apartment so that Alan could conduct research for his next stories (Ibid.). His novel Old Father of Waters, a tale set in 1858 along the Mississippi River, was serialized in Adventure magazine, and published as a hardcover book in 1927. The soft cover version went by the name Rivermen Die Broke. Alan’s 1928 novel, Pelican Coast, was also a fictional account of life on the Mississippi River.

After studying market trends in the fictional novel industry, Alan LeMay decided that he should focus his efforts on writing stories in the more popular Western genre. He again wanted to immerse himself in the environment he was going to write about, and he and Esther decided to move to San Diego. The LeMay family is not listed at all in San Diego city directories until 1930, when they moved to 2166 Pine St. This is most likely due to them living in two different San Diego residences in a short time period in 1928-1929, just prior to purchasing 2166 Pine St.

Around 1928, the LeMays briefly settled with their infant daughter Joan at a small beach cottage located at 305 Playa del Sur in the Windansea area of La Jolla. This home has since been demolished and replaced with a newer residence.

*B10. Significance - Criterion B (continued):

The family then moved to a larger rental home at 3633 Dove Court in the southern portion of San Diego's Mission Hills neighborhood. This home is extant. Their time on Dove Court was very brief, as their son Dan was born in 1929, and Alan and Esther wanted a larger, more permanent home.

The LeMays and 2166 Pine Street. Alan and Esther LeMay purchased 2166 Pine Street from builder William F. Wahrenberger in July 1929, and they are first listed as residents of the home in the 1930 San Diego city directory. The LeMays lived there with their small children Joan and Dan until selling the home in November 1936. Also living with them was Esther's elderly widowed father, Reverend Andrew C.V. Skinner.

2166 Pine Street is the San Diego home most closely associated with Alan LeMay's productive career, and still has his small wooden writer’s cabin in the back yard, which overlooks a canyon and has an expansive view of Mission Valley. Having the habit of naming his houses, Alan named the Pine Street home “Gopher Gulch.” A 1931 photograph of the house and cabin are featured in Dan LeMay’s 2012 book, Alan LeMay: A Biography of the Author of The Searchers.

Visible in the 1931 historic photo is Alan’s detached “writer’s cabin” at the rear of 2166 Pine Street. His son Dan, who visited the home in 2011, and who viewed current photos of it during a 2019 in-person interview with Legacy 106, Inc., stated that the cabin appears the same as it did when he was a child: a simple, rustic, unpainted wooden structure.

Dan remembers that his father spent long hours writing in the cabin, and that it was generally off-limits to Dan, his sister Joan, and their friends. When Dan and Joan asked Alan why he spent so much time in the writer’s cabin, they were often met with a response such as, “You like to eat, don’t you?” (LeMay 2012:22).

Although it is not known for certain who built the writer’s cabin, it was most likely Charles W. Diffin. Diffin constructed several homes in Mission Hills, although he did not build 2166 Pine Street. However, a building permit published in the San Diego Evening Tribune on May 27, 1930, approximately six months after the LeMays purchased and moved into 2166 Pine Street, states:

Allen [sic] LeMay, per C.W. Diffin, 2166 Pine: $200.

Interestingly, Diffin’s construction business was not his only line of work. He was also a writer of short stories, primarily in the science fiction genre. According to Dan LeMay, Alan and Charles W. Diffin were members of the Padres Writers’ Group, a social and professional development club for San Diego authors. It is likely that Alan and Charles knew each other from this club.

Collier’s magazine became Alan’s main customer by early 1929, and his popularity solidified when its March 7, 1931 issue featured the cover line, “Gunsight Trail, A New Novel by Alan LeMay”, prominently displayed and seen by millions of readers all over the world. Despite the Great Depression, Alan’s stories continued to be in high demand. Between the years of 1930 and 1936, he annually published approximately 20 short stories or monthly installments of a serialized novel. (LeMay 2012:27)

*B10. Significance - Criterion B (continued):

Utilizing the "Story List" in the appendix of Dan's book, it was determined that in 1935 and 1936, the LeMay family's last two years at 2166 Pine Street, Alan LeMay also authored and/or published the following works:

1935  Published the novel The Smoky Years, which was written in 1934.  Serialization of The Smoky Years in Collier's.  Published the novel Deep Water Island.  Serialization of Deep Water Island in Collier's.  Published approximately 8 short stories in various magazines, including Popular Western, Western Fiction, and Thrilling Western. Some of these stories were previously published under other titles.

1936  Serialization of Dark Tropic Sea in Collier's.  Published 17 short stories in various magazines, including McCall's, Western Fiction, and Thrilling Ranch Stories. Some of these stories were previously published under other titles. Also, because many of the short stories Alan wrote in 1936 were published in less prestigious magazines, he used the pseudonym Alan M. Emley to protect his reputation as an accomplished author.

In addition to his growing popularity as a writer in the early 1930’s, Alan leased 90 acres in Mission Valley, and along with rodeo rider Gil Strick, he got into the business of raising horses. Alan spent many hours in the saddle, riding in Mission Valley, and gaining inspiration for his Western themed stories. He and his wife Esther also became avid polo players.

This time period was also filled with the LeMays attending and hosting lavish parties, and taking vacations to Mexico, Hawaii and across the western U.S. A great deal of time was spent on a friend’s cattle ranch in Baja, Mexico, where Alan rode untamed horses, roped and branded cattle, and participated in the types of “Wild West” activities that the characters in his stories did.

Rancho Una Vaca in Santee (Not Extant). Having accumulated enough savings by 1935, Alan and Esther purchased a 20-acre ranch near the vicinity of present-day Magnolia Ave. and 2nd St. in Santee, and had a large home built there. Alan dubbed it Rancho Una Vaca (“One-Cow Ranch”). Rancho Una Vaca was demolished many years ago, and homes and retail shops have since been constructed on the property.The LeMays hired architect Starling Watson to design a large addition to the original adobe house that was located on the property, and they moved into the completed home in late 1936, around the same time that they sold 2166 Pine Street.

The ranch featured an orange grove, peach orchard, a water well and reservoir, and a dilapidated barn. To put in his very own polo field at the ranch, Alan removed the fruit trees. A three-car garage and servants’ quarters were added, and the master bedroom had two walk-in closets. A swimming pool was installed, and the old barn was demolished and replaced with a grand barn, described by Dan LeMay as, “as elegant as anything housing thoroughbreds in Kentucky.” (LeMay 2012:31) The LeMays began breeding Great Danes at the ranch, and at one point had thirteen dogs. The LeMays’ lavish lifestyle attracted the attention of the press, and Alan welcomed the publicity because it sold more books. He wore cowboy boots and drove a bright yellow Buick roadster. (LeMay 2012:34)

The Good Times Come To An End. Although selling stories to Collier’s magazine had previously made up a large percentage of Alan’s income, he still retained his own copyrights, and he was free to sell to other publications, including book publishers and film studios, as long as Collier’s was not negatively impacted. The first sign of a downturn in Alan’s writing career came in 1936, when several of his stories were rejected by “slicks,” the more up-market magazines, so nicknamed because of their glossy, “slick” paper. The rejections were due in part to a downturn in magazine advertising revenue during the ongoing great depression, making the publications less able to afford established authors. Alan’s son Dan believes that all of the distractions in his father’s life also contributed to the quality of his writing after 1936 (LeMay 2012:35). After several stories were rejected by Collier’s and other similar publications, Alan sold some of them to the less highly regarded, lower paying “pulp” magazines under the pseudonym Alan M. Emley. He used the pseudonym to protect his reputation as a writer normally published in higher-class magazines.

The lack of income, along with bills from the ranch remodel piling up, caused a great deal of stress in the LeMay household. It was worsened by the long bouts of torrential rains happening during that same unfortunate period. Dan LeMay wrote of that time:

The weather had been nothing but record-breaking rains for months, and the ranch was a swamp. The saddles mildewed in the barn. The precious polo field was a sea of mud. Everywhere Alan looked he saw his dreams in decay. His mood was black, and he couldn’t write….. Esther filed for divorce, and the chapter on Rancho Una Vaca closed. (LeMay 2012:40)

By mid-1937, the marriage of Alan and Esther had reached a breaking point due to financial strain and uncertainty, and Esther filed for divorce. Their children, Joan and Dan, briefly went to Aurora, Illinois to live with their paternal grandparents. Alan moved back to Aurora, sold an occasional story, and found work as a reporter and writer for his old employer, the Aurora Beacon News. He also found part-time work with a radio station in Aurora, and began dating the station manager, Arlene Hoffman.

According to the 1940 U.S. Census, a recently divorced Esther LeMay lived at 1120 Hunter Street in Mission Hills with her two children, Joan (age 14) and Dan (age 10) and Esther’s elderly father. The 1940 census lists Esther’s occupation as kindergarten teacher. In 1941, Esther, her children and her father moved to 1042 Alberta Place in Mission Hills, where she lived until her death on February 17, 1963.

Alan's Life After San Diego. In June 1939, while living in Aurora, Illinois, Alan received a telegram from film director Cecil B. DeMille, a director with Paramount Pictures who read one of his earlier works, invited him to Hollywood to work as a story consultant on the film North West Mounted Police (LeMay 2012:44). Alan moved to Hollywood shortly after receiving the telegram. It was his first work in the film industry, and it paid well enough that Alan felt he could provide for his second wife Arlene. They married in Las Vegas in July 1939 and rented a large home at 8476 Appian Way, overlooking Hollywood. The home was previously owned by Errol Flynn. This home is extant however Alan and Arlene only lived in the home three months before moving to a smaller apartment.

Because Alan lacked screenwriting experience, Cecil B. DeMille paired him with Jesse Lasky, Jr., a more experienced screenwriter. Adjusting from straight forward story writing to screenwriting was a challenge for Alan, who was not used to sharing creative control over his work. During his almost daily meetings with DeMille, Alan’s efforts were often the subject of an intimidating barrage of scathing criticism. Alan persevered, reassured by his co-writer Jesse Lasky, Jr. that the insults were an entirely normal part of working with DeMille (LeMay 2012:46).

Filming of North West Mounted Police finished in May 1940, and despite positive reviews, Alan was not happy with the finished product. In an October 31, 1940 letter he wrote to his parents, Alan stated:

North West Mounted Police is such a hashed-over product, every line hammered down into plastic pulp and cast into some synthetic shape, that I recognize very little of it as my own. I do not care for the picture very much. I think it is choked, overcrowded, melodramatic and mainly out of reality of character. However, it does seem to be a box office smash, which I suppose is the main thing.

The letter further elaborates Alan’s distaste for screenwriting and the lack of recognition given to screenwriters in comparison to the actors, director and producers. Still, he again teamed up with Cecil B. DeMille to screenwrite for Reap the Wild Wind in the early 1940’s. This film starred John Wayne and was set along the coast of 1840’s Florida, a deviation from the Western genre that Alan preferred to write about.

Although Alan was more enthusiastic during his work on Reap the Wild Wind than he had been on North West Mounted Police, he was once again dissatisfied with the finished movie when it premiered in early 1942. Alan felt the movie was silly and ostentatious, and jokingly nicknamed it “Reap the Pink Squid”, a reference to the fake giant squid that attacks a ship towards the end of the film. Despite Alan’s dislike of the movie, audiences loved it, pleasing director Cecil B. DeMille greatly.

Ever since his first experience screenwriting for Cecil B. DeMille and Paramount Pictures, Alan LeMay had a desire to work independently from the major film studios. However, he also knew that if he refused to work with DeMille, he would likely be shut out of Hollywood entirely. In May 1949, Alan achieved independence when he formed his own company, Arfran Productions, Inc., with director George “Dink” Templeton. Their first film, for which Alan wrote the screenplay, was adapted from Alan’s 1933 novel about cattle rustling, grazing rights and range wars, called Thunder in the Dust. Alan wrote the novel while living at 2166 Pine Street in San Diego. For the film, it was renamed The Sundowners. The movie was backed by independent producer N. Peter Rathvon. Alan and Dink spent two weeks scouting locations in the Texas Panhandle. They completed the movie on time and under budget, and it opened in January 1950 to favorable reviews. The film’s investors were quickly pushing for Alan and Dink to make another movie.

In 1950, Alan wrote and directed High Lonesome, a Western themed film that was his only directing credit. Set in the Big Bend country of West Texas, the movie starred John Drew Barrymore, father of actress Drew Barrymore. Despite success at the box office, High Lonesome was not well received by critics, with LeMay’s debut as a director drawing some of the criticism.

The Searchers. The novel for which Alan LeMay is best known is The Searchers, published in 1954. The story follows Civil War veteran Amos Edwards' decade-long search for his young niece Debbie, who was abducted by Comanche Indians in western Texas. It was loosely based on the true story of Cynthia Ann Parker, who was nine years old when she was abducted by Comanches after they killed her family. She married a Comanche chieftain and had three children with him. Twenty-four years after her abduction, Cynthia was found by Texas Rangers, removed from Comanche lands against her wishes, and many unsuccessful attempts were made to reintegrate her into mainstream, White society.

The novel The Searchers was highly influential and acclaimed for its treatment of a fact based and controversial topic. LeMay researched the case of Cynthia Ann Parker and similar incidents to create a fictional story where neither the White settlers nor the Native Americans are purely heroic or evil. The

*B10. Significance - Criterion B (continued): character Debbie is caught between the two worlds: White by birth, she adapts to the ways of her Comanche captors and no longer even considers them captors by the time Amos finds her years later. The Comanches are her new family, and she does not wish to rejoin her birth family.

In 1956, a movie adaptation of The Searchers was released. Directed by legendary Western film maker John Ford, it starred John Wayne in the role of Ethan Edwards (the character's name is Amos in the book version), Lana Wood as young Debbie, and her sister Natalie Wood as adult Debbie.

Although Alan LeMay had screenwriting experience by the mid-1950's, he did not write the screenplay for The Searchers due to numerous creative differences with director John Ford. Frank Nugent was instead hired to write the screenplay, and made changes from the book version. The most notable deviations from the book are the main character’s name change from Amos to Ethan, making the main character more menacing, and using Utah’s Monument Valley as the film’s backdrop even though the book and film are set in Texas and New Mexico.

The Searchers was a box office success and is considered by many to be a cinematic masterpiece. It has been named on numerous "greatest films" lists, and has been cited by many well-known directors such as Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas as being highly influential on their own works. The United States Library of Congress deemed The Searchers "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" in 1989, and the film was one of the first 25 chosen for preservation in its National Film Registry.

The Unforgiven. Another highly successful, well-known book authored by Alan LeMay is The Unforgiven, which he published in 1957. Like his novel The Searchers, it was quickly adapted for the big screen, and made into a 1960 movie directed by John Huston and starring Burt Lancaster, Audrey Hepburn and Lillian Gish. The screenplay was written by Ben Maddow, not Alan LeMay.

The Unforgiven is the story of a fictional character of a young woman named Rachel, who as an infant was adopted by the Zachary family, who live on the Texas frontier. It is later revealed that Rachel was actually born a Kiowa Indian and was taken from the tribe by patriarch Will Zachary, who was later killed by Kiowas. The novel and film were controversial and highlighted the issue of racism against Native Americans and against those believed to be of Native American descent.

Alan LeMay’s writing career slowed substantially after he published The Unforgiven. He died in Hollywood in April 1964. His widow Arlene donated numerous original manuscripts, early drafts, research materials, and unpublished stories to the Department of Special Collections at UCLA’s Charles E. Young Research Library shortly after his death.

San Diego metropolitan area homes associated with Alan LeMay. There are three other San Diego area homes with which Alan LeMay is associated, however, none of them are as closely associated with his productive career in San Diego as 2166 Pine Street:

 305 Playa del Sur in the Windansea area of La Jolla. Demolished. This was a small beach cottage briefly lived in by Alan and Esther around 1928. It has since been demolished and replaced with a newer residence.

 3633 Dove Court in the Mission Hills neighborhood. This home is extant, however, Alan LeMay's time there was very brief, less than a year. Alan and Esther lived there as renters in

the early part of 1929. In November 1929, less than one year after moving in to the Dove Court residence, they purchased and moved to 2166 Pine Street.

 Rancho Una Vaca near the vicinity of Magnolia Ave. and 2nd St. in Santee. Demolished. Located on a 20-acre ranch, the LeMays had this house redesigned by architect Starling Watson. They moved into it in late 1936, after selling 2166 Pine St., but sold it quickly during their break up and divorce in 1937. The house has since been demolished and the parcel subdivided, with newer homes and retail stores constructed on it.

Alan's son Dan stated that Alan was often "restless" when it came to where he lived, and that from the late 1930's to the early 1950's, Alan and his second wife Arlene moved frequently.

Alan LeMay's Los Angeles metropolitan area homes lived in during his later career are shown below for reference. However, the subject resource, the proposed Alan LeMay / William Wahrenberger Speculation House #4, has the most significant association with LeMay during his important early career period as a Western author in San Diego.

Los Angeles metropolitan area homes associated with Alan LeMay. The following California residences were owned and/or lived in by Alan LeMay after he moved out of the San Diego area in 1937:

 8946 Appian Way in the Hollywood Hills. Extant. Lived in just a few months from July 1939 to October 1939. Immediately after their July 1939 marriage, Alan and Arlene moved into this grand rental home on Lookout Mountain, just west of the Hollywood Hills. It had previously been lived in by actor Errol Flynn. Alan was flush with cash after he was hired to write a screenplay for director Cecil B. DeMille, however the LeMays quickly decided that the home was too large, the hired help was too expensive, and its location was too isolated, and they moved three months later (LeMay 2012:57).

 821 ¼ Sweetzer in West Hollywood. Extant. The LeMays moved out of this apartment after six months, residing from October 1939 to approximately April 1940. Alan and Arlene moved into this West Hollywood apartment in October 1939, but decided it was too small, especially when Alan’s two children came to visit from San Diego.

 507 N. Maple Drive in Beverly Hills. Demolished. Lived in from approximately April 1940 to 1945. This home was demolished and replaced with a newer residence around 1992.

 12735 Hanover Street in Brentwood. Extant. Lived in from approximately 1945 to 1951.

 237 Toyopa Drive in Pacific Palisades. Extant. Alan and Arlene moved into this home in 1951. It is during his time living here that Alan completed his well-known novel, The Searchers, which was published in 1954. It was adapted into a movie starring John Wayne and Natalie Wood and was released in 1956. Alan LeMay’s writing career slowed substantially after he published The Unforgiven in 1957. According to Alan’s son Dan, Alan lived in this home until his death in April 1964.

*B10. Significance - Criterion B (continued):

The Alan LeMay / William Wahrenberger Speculation House #4 is recommended for local San Diego listing as a historical resource. According to steps laid out in the Guidelines for Application of Historical Resources Board Designation Criteria (2009), the significant person, in this case author Alan LeMay, is evaluated for historical significance to determine if he is a significant person. The resource historical nomination report recommends the home for consideration under Criterion B for its significant association with Alan LeMay. Then the home is compared to other local SAN DIEGO area resources. Although the 237 Toyopa Drive in Pacific Palisades in the Los Angeles metro area may also continue to reflect LeMay's career during his later Hollywood / Los Angeles career period, the subject resources need only reflect his career in San Diego during his early career in San Diego from approximately 1928 to 1937 and be compared to other San Diego area resources that reflect the earliest period of his career when he lived in San Diego. The individual local San Diego historical resource need not best reflect the historical individuals entire lifetime career and life in other cities and states.

Additionally, the subject resource site contains the writer's cabin which was constructed in 1930 for the historically significant novelist, short story author and screenwriter Alan LeMay, who owned the home and had the writer's cabin constructed as a private retreat just steps away from the main home. The writer's cabin gains additional significance because this was the location where LeMay wrote many of his most important early stories. Also, the Indiana born author was at the time learning about the legendary Western U.S. history of cowboys, Indians and horseback riding that would make up his most significant seminal works and the writer's cabin well reflects this appreciation and fondness for the early American West that LeMay brought to life in short stories, novels and movies like The Searchers and The Unforgiven.

In Conclusion. Popular, prolific and influential Western genre author and novelist Alan LeMay resided at 2166 Pine Street with his wife Esther and their two small children, Joan and Dan, from 1929 to 1936. Alan's son Dan, who lived at the subject property as a child, stated that it was during these years that Alan's reputation and career as a writer in the Western genre became well established. The many novels and short stories that Alan wrote and published during his time at the subject property were so popular, that in the early 1940’s he began to also write screenplays for film directors such as Cecil B. DeMille.

Reverend Andrew C.V. Skinner Resident, 1933 to 1936

From 1933 to 1936, the Reverend Andrew C.V. Skinner, a Presbyterian minister, resided at 2166 Pine Street, along with his daughter Esther and Esther's husband, the author Alan LeMay.

A native of Scotland, Andrew C.V. Skinner was born on August 5, 1860. Little about his early life could be found. He came to the U.S. around 1880, attended college, and graduated from Auburn Theological Seminary in Auburn, New York in 1894.

Rev. Skinner married Maude Place in Decatur, Michigan on April 24, 1897. Rev. Skinner and his family moved frequently around the U.S., and he held positions at many Presbyterian churches. He primarily lived and worked in the Midwestern states, including Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

*B10. Significance - Criterion B (continued):

According to the 1900 U.S. Census, the Skinners lived in Menominee, Michigan, and had two young daughters, Victoria and Esther. By 1910, the family lived in Lafayette, Indiana. According to the 1920 U.S. Census, Rev. Skinner, Maude, and their three daughters lived in Rio Grande County, Colorado. On August 9, 1922, their daughter Esther married Alan LeMay in Monte Vista, Colorado. Their wedding was officiated by Rev. Skinner (LeMay 2012:20).

Maude Skinner died in the 1920's, leaving Rev. Skinner a widower. Just prior to moving in with Esther and Alan LeMay, Rev. Skinner was a resident of Middleport, Ohio. He retired on August 5, 1930, his 70th birthday. At that time, he was with the Athens, Ohio Presbytery (San Diego Union, October 28, 1950). The 1933 to 1936 San Diego city directories show that Rev. Skinner lived at 2166 Pine St. with his daughter Esther his son-in-law Alan LeMay.

Esther and Alan divorced in 1937. Rev. Skinner moved with Esther and her children to 1120 Hunter Street in Mission Hills. In 1941, they all moved to 1042 Alberta Place in Mission Hills, where Rev Skinner lived for the remainder of his life. He died in San Diego on October 27, 1950.

Insufficient information was found about Reverend Andrew C.V. Skinner to determine he was historically significant for his association with 2166 Pine Street under Criterion B.

Cmdr. Julian J. Levasseur and Priscilla Levasseur Owners, 1936 to 1940 Residents, 1937 only

In 1936, Julian J. Levasseur and Priscilla Levasseur purchased 2166 Pine Street. They owned the home until 1940, although the San Diego city directories only list them as residents of the home in 1937. The Levasseurs then rented the home out to various tenants. Julian J. Levasseur had a lengthy career in the Navy, and served from 1919 to 1947, retiring with the rank of commander.

A native of New Hampshire, Julian J. Levasseur was born on May 16, 1901. Little information about his early life could be found, but by June 1919 he had enlisted in the Navy and was attending the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. He graduated from that institution in 1923 and then served aboard several Navy ships, including the battleship USS Florida and in the Philippines aboard the destroyer USS Rizal.

Julian married Priscilla Hyland Rice in New York City in May 1929. She was born in Baltimore on July 21, 1901. Their son Julian Jr. was born in San Diego in 1933. As is common with Navy families, the Levasseurs moved frequently throughout the U.S. and abroad. They settled briefly in Annapolis after their marriage, but by 1934 had relocated to Hawaii.

In 1936, the Levasseurs purchased 2166 Pine Street, and lived in the home until 1937. The family then moved to Alexandria, Virginia and were residents of Long Beach, California by 1940. Julian and Pricilla sold 2166 Pine Street in 1940. Julian retired in 1947 with the rank of commander, and he and Priscilla settled in Maryland. Priscilla passed away in 1980, and Julian passed away in Lanham, Maryland on July 4, 1982. Both are interred at Arlington National Cemetery.

Harrison L. Wyatt and Edith M. Wyatt Residents, 1938 only

Navy physician Harrison L. Wyatt and his wife Edith M. Wyatt resided at 2166 Pine St. in 1938 only. They presumably rented the home from owner Navy Commander Julian J. Levasseur and his wife Priscilla. At that time, Harrison L. Wyatt was a lieutenant commander in the Navy.

On September 29, 1888, Harrison Lee Wyatt was born in Scott County, Kansas. Little about his early life could be found. He graduated with a bachelor of science degree from Drake University in Iowa in 1911. Harrison married Edith May Elston in Griswold, Iowa on September 4, 1913. She was born in St. Charles, Iowa on May 14, 1891.

In 1914, Harrison graduated with his medical degree from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. It is not known where Harrison and Edith lived directly after his graduation, but by 1920 they were residents of Los Angeles and had two small daughters, Edith and Alice. According to the 1920 U.S. Census, Harrison was a physician in private practice and was not yet serving in the Navy. He joined the Navy in 1921, and he appears in the 1922 San Diego city directory as a Navy physician, living with Edith at 414 Robinson Ave. in Hillcrest.

The Wyatt family moved frequently, as is common with Navy families. In 1925, they resided in Vallejo, California, and again lived in Los Angeles by 1930. In the mid-1930's they lived in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Long Beach, California, and in 1938 only resided at 2166 Pine Street, which they rented from owners Julian J. Levasseur and Priscilla Levasseur. By 1940, the Wyatts lived in Pensacola, Florida.

Records for the Wyatts become scarce after 1940, and their whereabouts are unknown. Harrison L. Wyatt passed away in Berkeley, California on February 18, 1966. His wife Edith passed away in Alameda County, California on December 24, 1969.

Insufficient information was found about Harrison L. Wyatt and Edith M. Wyatt to determine they were historically significant for their association with 2166 Pine Street under Criterion B.

Dr. Eakle W. Cartwright and Betty Cartwright Residents, 1939 only

Dr. Eakle W. Cartwright, an obstetrician and gynecologist, and his wife Betty lived at 2166 Pine Street in 1939 only, and presumably rented the home from owners Julian J. Levasseur and Priscilla Levasseur. It should be noted that the 1939 San Diego city directory misspelled the first name of Dr. Cartwright as "Eckie." Further research revealed that his first name was actually Eakle.

*B10. Significance - Criterion B (continued):

A native of Amarillo, Texas, Eakle Wesley Cartwright was born on November 11, 1899 to Charles L. Cartwright and Hallie E. Cartwright. As a child, Eakle moved frequently around Texas with his parents and siblings. This was possibly due to his father's job as a Methodist minister.

Dr. Cartwright obtained his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania, did post-graduate work at Columbia University and completed his medical residency at the Margaret Hague Maternity Hospital in Jersey City, New Jersey (Star-News [Pasadena, California], January 31, 1962).

In the 1920's, Dr. Cartwright married Elizabeth "Betty" H. Phillips. She was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on June 27, 1903. The couple eventually had two children: Eakle Jr. and Betty. The Cartwrights moved to San Diego in the late 1920’s, and appear in the 1929 San Diego city directory as residents of 4739 Oregon Street in the University Heights neighborhood. At that time, Dr. Cartwright was an obstetrician and gynecologist in private practice, and his office was located at 233 A Street in downtown San Diego.

The Cartwright family moved to Oceanside in the early 1930’s, and then lived in New York and Europe for approximately five years. Upon their return, they lived at 2166 Pine St. in 1939 only, and most likely rented the home from owners Julian J. Levasseur and Priscilla Levasseur, who lived elsewhere due to Julian serving in the Navy. After moving out of the subject property, the Cartwrights moved to Pasadena, and Dr. Cartwright became a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Southern California.

Betty passed away in 1960. In November 1961, Dr. Cartwright married actress Maudie Prickett. She appeared in several films, such as Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest, and television programs, including The Andy Griffith Show, Dennis the Menace, Get Smart and Bewitched. Dr. Cartwright died of a heart attack in Altadena on January 30, 1962, only two months after his marriage to Maudie (Star-News [Pasadena, California], January 31, 1962).

According to his obituary, Dr. Cartwright was a member of numerous medical organizations, including the Los Angeles Academy of Medicine, the American College of Surgeons, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. He was also a diplomate of the American Board of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (Ibid.).

Nettie M. Gibson Irma E. Gibson Residents, 1940 only

In 1940 only, Nettie M. Gibson, a widow, resided at 2166 Pine Street with her adult daughter Irma, a high school teacher. They presumably rented the home from owners Julian J. Levasseur and Priscilla Levasseur, who lived in Long Beach, California during that time.

Michigan native Nettie Matilda Tripp was born on June 2, 1861. Her father, George E. Tripp, worked in a butcher shop, and mother Harriet was a housewife. Nettie grew up in and around Ludington, Michigan, a town on Lake Michigan.

On August 31, 1880, Nettie married Burnett Barclay Gibson in Ludington. He was ten years her senior and was an attorney when they married. The couple had two daughters: Hattie Bernice Gibson (1884- 1928) and Irma Eleanor Gibson (1887-1962).

In the early 1900’s, for unknown reasons, Burnett B. Gibson switched careers. He became a bookkeeper for the Ludington Woodenware Company, which manufactured a variety of wooden kitchenware products, such as bowls, cutting boards, and so on. In 1915, the factory was destroyed in a fire.

The Gibson family lived in Ludington until approximately 1920, when they moved to Whitingham, Vermont. In Vermont, Burnett still did not practice law. Rather, he worked at a lumber mill. During their time in Vermont, daughter Irma graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont, and then found work there as a teacher.

Burnett B. Gibson died in 1922, and around 1926, his widow Nettie and adult daughter Irma moved to San Diego. They first settled at 232 Hawthorne St., and Irma worked as a teacher at Point Loma High School. She taught Latin, English and algebra, and also served as a guidance counselor (San Diego Union, April 21, 1962).

Irma obtained a master’s degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 1927, and then moved back to San Diego. By 1930, she and her mother lived at 3528 5th Ave. in Hillcrest. They moved to a new address nearly every year throughout the 1930’s, and in 1940 rented at 2166 Pine St.

In the early 1940’s, Nettie and Irma moved to 4253 Arista Street in Mission Hills. Nettie lived there until her death on April 16, 1956. Irma, who never married, also lived in the home for the rest of her life. She died in April 1962.

Insufficient information was found about Nettie M. Gibson and Irma E. Gibson to determine they were historically significant for their association with 2166 Pine Street under Criterion B.

Virginia F. Hunt Owner, November 1940

Virginia F. Hunt purchased 2166 Pine Street in November 1940 and sold it that same month, and thus it is unlikely that she ever resided in the home. Virginia's exact identity could not be determined, although searches of the 1940 U.S. Census indicate that she may have been a 32 year-old widow who resided at 1 4021 /2 Falcon Street in Mission Hills. This Virginia F. Hunt lived there with her two small children and was employed as the manager of a laundry. Further information about Virginia F. Hunt could not be located.

John D. Hill and Beulah S. Hill Owners, 1940 to 1941 Residents, 1941 only

John D. Hill and Beulah S. Hill purchased 2166 Pine Street in 1940. According to the San Diego city directories, the couple lived there in 1941 only, and lived there with another couple, Delbert Page and Dorothy Page. The 1941 San Diego city directory does not list an occupation for either John D. Hill or Beulah S. Hill, although John previously worked as an attorney in Indiana, and as a poultry farmer in Escondido.

On May 4, 1902, John Dallam Hill was born in Minnesota to John P. Hill and Anna D. Hill. John Dallam Hill grew up in Minneapolis, where his father was a real estate agent. The elder John died when his son was a child. According to the 1920 U.S. Census, John Dallam Hill lived in Muncie, Indiana with his widowed mother and his younger sister Helen.

John graduated from high school in Muncie and went on to graduate from law school. He practiced law in that city through the 1920’s and 1930’s. John married Beulah Lovina Swygart in Muncie in May 1937. She was an Indiana native born in 1912.

The newlyweds moved to San Diego shortly after their marriage, and briefly lived at 1346 29th Street in the South Park neighborhood. By 1940, the couple lived on West Pinecrest Street in Escondido, California and were farmers. It is not known why John made the drastic career change from law to farming shortly after moving to California.

John’s World War II draft registration cards from 1942 state that he was employed by the Escondido Valley Poultry Association. In 1943, the Hills lived at 2730 Dove St. in Mission Hills, and John worked at the Ryan Aircraft factory. In the 1950’s, John and Beulah moved to 4737 Caroline Drive in the Talmadge neighborhood, and John was still employed with Ryan Aircraft. John passed away in California on April 22, 1973, and Beulah died in 2012 at the age of 99.

Laurence A. McKee and Phoebe Louise McKee purchased 2166 Pine St. in 1941 and sold it in 1943. According to searches of San Diego city directories, the McKees resided at 2166 Pine Street in 1942 and 1943. In 1942, they lived there with Etta D. Burton, Louise's widowed mother, and Etta’s eighteen year- old daughter Patricia (Louise's younger sister).

Little information about the McKees could be located. Laurence (spelled in some records as Lawrence) was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan on August 2, 1902. His father Harold was a civil engineer for the city of Kalamazoo, and mother Cora was a housewife.

By 1920, Laurence, his parents, and his younger sister Delphine lived in Lansing, Michigan. From 1926 to 1933, Laurence was married to his first wife, Eileen, and their son Douglas was born around 1928. At the time of their divorce in 1933, Laurence and Eileen were residents of Benton Harbor, Michigan.

In the mid-1930's, Laurence married Phoebe Louise Burton. She typically went by her middle name, Louise, and was born in Berrien County, Michigan on December 23, 1903. She was the eldest daughter of Edward J.C. Burton and Etta D. (Ernsberger) Burton.

According to the 1940 U.S. Census, Laurence and Louise lived in Berwyn, Illinois, and Laurence was employed as a structural engineer for a steel manufacturing company. In 1942, they moved to San Diego, and purchased 2166 Pine Street in 1941. San Diego city directories show that the McKees resided at the subject resource in 1942 and 1943. Louise's widowed mother Etta and Louise's younger sister Patricia lived in the home as well in 1942 only.

After the McKees sold and moved out of 2166 Pine Street in 1943, they lived at 4769 Jessie Ave. in La Mesa, and Laurence worked at the Consolidated Aircraft factory. Lawrence died in San Diego in 1969. Louise passed away in San Diego on November 16, 1985.

John T. Ostensoe Owner, 1943 to 1944

In 1943, John T. Ostensoe purchased 2166 Pine St. The deed indicates that he was single, however, when John sold the home in 1944, he was married to a woman named Verda. There is no indication that the Ostensoes ever resided at the subject property.

John Thor Ostensoe, a native of Canby, Minnesota, was born on May 2, 1918. According to the 1920 U.S. Census, John and his parents, Marvin and Julia, lived in the home of John's paternal grandparents. His grandfather Ole Ostensoe was an attorney originally from Norway.

John's father Marvin was an insurance salesman in 1920, but by 1930 was an attorney and had moved his family to Waseca, Minnesota. In the 1930's, John worked as a track laborer with the Chicago and North Western Railroad. John's World War II draft card from 1940 indicates that he lived in Los Angeles and that he was unemployed.

John moved to San Diego in the early 1940's, and in 1943 he purchased 2166 Pine St. The 1943 San Diego city directory lists him as a resident of 819 Dover Ct. in Mission Beach.

Willard L. Peterson and Ellen M. Peterson Owners and Residents, 1944 to 1967

Willard L. Peterson and his wife Ellen purchased and moved into 2166 Pine Street in 1944 and lived there continuously until selling the home in 1967. During their 23 years at the subject property, they sometimes had other individuals live with them. Willard was a public school teacher who became a salesman at Montgomery Ward for a brief time after he retired from teaching.

Logan, Utah native Willard Larson Peterson was born on January 24, 1886. His parents, Peter and Mary Peterson, were originally from Denmark. According to the 1900 U.S. Census, Willard lived with his parents and six brothers in Petersboro, Utah, where they were farmers. Willard lived in Petersboro until at least 1910. In 1910, Willard graduated from the Utah College of Agriculture (San Diego Union, November 16, 1978).

On January 21, 1915, Willard married Ellen C. Mulroney in her hometown of Fort Dodge, Iowa. They eventually had two daughters: Ruth and Maryanna. According to Willard's World War I draft registration cards from 1918, he and Ellen lived in Ogden, Utah, and Willard worked as a high school teacher. The Petersons moved to San Diego around 1924, and settled at 2425 Market St. Willard found work as a teacher at San Diego High School. Around 1926, the couple moved to 3274 Palm in North Park and then to 3792 Goldfinch St. in Mission Hills in the early 1930's.

Willard and Ellen purchased and moved into 2166 Pine Street in 1944 and lived there continuously until selling the home in 1967. In 1960, the Petersons subdivided the lot upon which 2166 Pine Street is located. The legal description of the lot was originally Villa Lot One (1) of Mission Hills. This original lot was wedge shaped and extended northwesterly to the intersection with Hortensia Street, and the two homes directly northwest of 2166 Pine Street were not constructed until more recently. After the Petersons subdivided Villa Lot 1 into three parcels, a new subdivision map was filed only for Villa Lot 1. This map, titled Mission Hills Resubdivision No. 1, only pertains to this lot subdivision. It is map number 4640. After the lot subdivision in 1960, the legal description of 2166 Pine Street changed to Lot 3 of Mission Hills Resubdivision No. 1.

After selling 2166 Pine Street in 1967, the Petersons moved to an apartment at 3200 6th Ave. in Hillcrest. Willard passed away in San Diego on November 12, 1978. Further information about him and Ellen could not be located.

Moro in Balboa Park, was the first female to serve as Chairman of the Board of the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau, and became a jewelry designer and cookbook author.

Susan was born to Joseph and Billie Woolverton in Sacramento on March 11, 1946. She attended schools in Sacramento and then attended the University of California at Berkeley. Susan’s obituary, published in the San Diego Union-Tribune on September 8, 2011, describes her as an “artist/designer, writer/author, business woman/entrepreneur, community activist/volunteer, world traveler/extraordinary hostess, wife/sister, mother/ grandmother, dear friend.” Indeed, Susan was a woman of many interests who undertook several varied endeavors.

In 1973, Susan married John E. Cox in Monterey, California. He is listed in San Diego city directories as a resident of 2166 Pine St. with her from 1974 to 1976, around the time that they divorced.

In 1985, Susan served a one year term as chairwoman of the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau’s board of directors. She was their first female chair, and during her brief term, established a regional marketing effort with Baja California. Susan also encouraged cruise ship companies to include San Diego as a port-of-call and assisted in putting the first shovel in the ground for the new convention center (San Diego Union-Tribune, September 22, 2011).

Susan was also active with several other local organizations. During her time serving with the San Diego Film Commission, Susan encouraged movie companies to film in San Diego. She also served with the Food and Beverage Association and the Hotel Sales Management Association, was on the board of the annual Holiday Bowl football game, and was on the San Diego Festival of the Arts’ executive board.

In 1994, Susan published a cookbook entitled Season of the Southwest: Country Cooking with Herbs. It contained her favorite personal recipes, as well as recipes from Cafe del Rey Moro, which closed that same year. Starting around 1999, she also had a monthly column in the Presidio Sentinel local newspaper, for which she wrote about seasonal recipes, travel stories and entertaining tips.

Susan founded her jewelry making business, Venezia Bella, in 2003, and sold her creations through the company’s website. She also owned a consulting firm named Layfa, which marketed food and beverage products. Susan married a longtime friend, Francisco Preciado Marty, in the mid-1990's. She died of cancer in 2011.

Criterion “C” 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.

The Alan LeMay / William Wahrenberger Speculation House #4 is an excellent example of a Spanish Eclectic/Revival style home constructed by Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger, showcasing the Spanish Eclectic/Revival style of architecture in the Mission Hills community of San Diego.

In greater detail, this house displays the architecturally defining features indicative of the Spanish Eclectic/Revival style. The home has a varied rectangular form with a low-pitched gabled front wing, shed roof front porch and eaves with wooden rafter tails in front and flat roof with parapet at the rear. The front gabled roof and shed roofs utilize Mission red clay roof tiles. The home has an asymmetrical façade and side porch which further articulates its Spanish Eclectic/Revival style. The home features other Spanish style details such as the raised front porch with arching entry doorway. The original raised front porch design with double French doors connect the outdoor and indoor spaces and further define the home's Spanish Eclectic/Revival feel. Flanking the front stucco chimney, large, deeply inset rectangular front focal windows are seen on the front elevation. The home displays a solid wood door further elaborate the Spanish Eclectic/Revival aesthetic. The wall surfacing of the home is hand finished sandy style white painted stucco with matching stucco front chimney. The original wooden casement windows are also seen around the home.

The Spanish Eclectic Style. Many architectural historians attribute the high popularity of the Spanish Eclectic style variations in San Diego with the popularity of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, which was held in San Diego from 1915 through 1916. However, the most likely influence for the shift in popularity is the Bertram Goodhue-designed 1922-1923 Marine Corps Recruit Depot and Naval Training Center. Soon thereafter, technical journals, newspapers, and magazines promoted Spanish style architecture as a revitalization of interest in 18th and 19th century California history. The San Diego Union hired Master Architect Richard S. Requa to write a weekly column critiquing local architecture and he used this forum to promote the Spanish Eclectic or as he deemed it “The Southern California style.” The style continued as late as 1948. Designers of Spanish Eclectic houses often borrowed from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance motifs (McAlester and McAlester 2013:417). The fired red clay tiles on this house are Spanish style Mission half barrels. The walls of houses in this style are stuccoed to appear like old adobe buildings in artistic interpretations from Spanish / Mediterranean origins. In general, designers of the period were engaged in a process to define and interpret appropriate architectural styles for our climate. A great deal of literature of the period was devoted to defining an appropriate “Southern California Style” of architecture. The strongest popularity for Spanish style residential architecture hit San Diego about 1925, when the newspapers and popular magazines promoted this as an authentic style harkening back to San Diego’s Spanish roots.

Spanish Eclectic Popularity Shifts (1915-1940). The shift from Mission Revival to Spanish style is pretty well established with the design and completion of the Panama California Exposition and public debut in 1915. Newspaper announcements of “Spanish” style buildings in the 1913-1915 period more closely resemble Italian Renaissance architecture (e.g.: Katherine Redding Stadler House, Landmark # 861). But there are few, if any, residential examples of non-Mission Revival, Spanish style residential architecture before World War I. Master Architect Bertram Goodhue changed the public definition of Spanish style with the completion of the Panama California Exposition in 1915. But once again, few Spanish style residences were built to show a direct correlation until completion of the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in 1921 and military buildings at the Naval Training Station (1922-1923).

Both the Marine Corps Recruit Depot and Naval Training Center would have been in the viewshed in 1924. McAlester and McAlester use the term Spanish Eclectic for the fanciful and fantasy mix of Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and/or Renaissance architectural motifs on buildings that have no counterpart in the

historical world. The architects, designers, and builders responsible for creating these fantasy buildings that had no real historical model for their ideas. Although Master Architect Richard S. Requa promoted accuracy in creating Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, he also encouraged designers and builders borrow a mix of motifs from his photographs of buildings in Spain, North Africa, and the Mediterranean to create what he called “The Southern California Style.” Builders with and without formal training took design concepts from popular magazines, plan books, and professional architectural journals to dream up their designs. One of the best neighborhoods of Spanish Eclectic style houses to illustrate this concept would be the 1920's Kensington Manor and Kensington Heights neighborhoods of San Diego. Most of the Spanish Eclectic style died out by 1940's.

Integrity. The City of San Diego's Historical Landmarking Policy focuses on the public view from Pine Street and the sidewalk. Criterion C requires good integrity in order for an individual house to be landmarked. High integrity means no change and good integrity allows for some change. Deterioration such as stucco cracking, peeling paint, faded wood, or wood rot is a condition issue, not an integrity issue, as the original materials remain present and can be repaired. Integrity is grounded in the property’s physical features and how they convey its significance during its “Period of Significance.” In other words, why, where, and when a property was built is important. Basically, the guidelines say that each property is recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. The City of San Diego uses the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historical Properties to evaluate integrity for Criterion C landmarking. Part VIII of the National Register Bulletin provides guidance on how to evaluate the integrity of a property by outlining seven values or tests: Location, Design, Setting, Materials, Workmanship, Feeling, and Association. To have high integrity, all seven aspects must be met. To have good integrity, most or four to five aspects must be met. Less than four would be poor integrity.

The architecturally defining features that are supportive of historic landmarking are:

1. The fired red clay Mission half barrel tile gabled roof with little overhang and exposed wooden rafter tails; 2. The deep inset stucco focal windows seen on the front gable end flanking each side of the front stucco chimney; 3. The front porch with lancet arched door opening; 4. The horizontal rectangular attic vents detail seen on the stucco surfaced flat roof parapet; 5. The sand finished exterior wall stucco seen on all elevations; 6. The rear flat roof with simple parapet; 7. The original wood rectangular casement window groupings with sloping wooden window sills; 8. The double and single casement true divided light windows; 9. The original raised front concrete porch with double French doors linking the front outdoor and indoor spaces; 10. The original wooden plank style front door with original brass handle and locking plate; 11. The asymmetrical front façade; 12. The original compound rectangular plan with extending front wing.

The following are architectural changes that cause integrity loss:

 The front chimney extension (see Attachment C.4). Completed in 1934 by historic individual Alan LeMay and gains historical significance for its association with LeMay.  The side facing, non-original double set of French doors which replaced a side window on the side deck, as seen in 1931 photo (outside of the public view).

ASPECTS OF INTEGRITY

Location. Location is the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred

Based on comparison with the historic photos, historic aerial photos, Sanborn maps and other research, the house is shown to be in its original location at 2166 Pine Street. The House has excellent integrity of Location.

Design. Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken.

Analysis of the Sanborn maps, historic aerial photos. building records and examination of the resource at 2166 Pine Street reveals that all elevations closely match the original design of the house. This is an excellent example of a Spanish Eclectic/Revival style home built in 1927. The home retains its original key character defining features which include the red clay tile covered low pitched roof with slight overhang and exposed wooden rafter tails. The original asymmetrical façade and varied massing and form are confirmed by historic photos and Sanborn maps. The hand applied sandy stucco wall surfacing is another important original element of the home's design. The original flat roof with simple straight parapet and rectangular clay tile vent details is a feature often seen in 1920's and 1930's era Spanish style homes.

The historic photo (see Attachments D.1) from 1931 shows that besides the side site wall and shed, the home's front façade closely matches current photos (see Attachments D.2) with a side gabled front façade with Spanish clay tile roof and little overhang with tiles spilling over the coping at the gable ends and decorative cut rafters seen beneath the eaves. The original wooden divided light casement windows seen around the home, represent a period in time in the late 1920's when architects and designers utilized thin delicate casement windows to maximize ventilation that is contrasted well with the implied thick adobe walls that are suggested by the home's deep inset window openings. All visible window openings maintain the original inset windows with wooden lower window sills rounded bullnose stucco inset reveal edges. While the majority of the home utilizes divided light wooden casement windows, the home uses two deep inset large rectangular focal windows on each side of the original stucco end chimney. These rectangular focal windows are three pane wooden double casement windows, each with a deep stucco inset reveal, much more pronounced than the inset seen on the other windows. A unique and original corner side window provides expansive views of the natural rear canyon. Close inspection of the 1931 historic photo (Attachment D.1) confirms this prominent side corner window design with corner frame seen in this historic photo taken only three years after the home was originally built.

The house retains the original characteristic deep door and windows. The side facing covered porch is retained. The inset lancet front door opening is original, as are the vast majority of the home's window openings as previously stated. This is an outstanding example of a Spanish Eclectic/Revival style home constructed by Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger in 1927.

The original front covered porch area with rusticated wooden beams are another important original feature. The only known change from the original design is the newer side French door window which is setback and outside of the public view visible along the northwest side of the home. The newer side French doors are located at the rear, outside of the public view, and minimally affect the home's

*B10. Significance - Criterion C (continued): appearance. This minor modification of the window opening should not be considered a significant critical loss of design integrity. The resource is very intact from the date of construction, with very minimal design modifications to the home. The home continues to convey its historic design as a Spanish Eclectic/Revival home built in 1927 in the Mission Hills neighborhood of San Diego.

The simple rectangular stucco end chimney was added by Alan LeMay in 1934 as seen as it was in the historical photo. The home still displays excellent integrity of design and the simple chimney alteration does not impact the home's integrity of design, materials, workmanship or feeling to such an extent that the home no longer embodies the distinctive characteristics of its Spanish Eclectic style. This is an excellent example of a Spanish Eclectic/Revival home designed by established Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger. The Design element of this home is excellent.

Setting. Setting is the physical environment of a historic property. The setting is the larger area or environment in which a historic property is located. It may be an urban, suburban, or rural neighborhood or a natural landscape in which buildings have been constructed. The relationship of buildings to each other, setbacks, fence patterns, views, driveways and walkways, and street trees together create the character of a district or neighborhood.

The original setting of the home is unusual as an early San Diego suburb with a mixture of prewar eclectic homes mixed with post-World War II constructed homes. These houses along the canyon edge with larger houses which were built somewhat closer to the street along Pine Street which makes the home somewhat less imposing. The street and side setback of the house closely matches the shortened landscape setbacks seen along this portion of Pine Street. As seen on historic aerial photos, Sanborn maps, the street and side setback of the house matches the historic Mission Hills neighborhood. The home's original stepped back side front entryway porch and setback attached side garage is retained. The homes across Pine Street have a slightly diagonal alignment while the homes on the north side of Pine have a straight alignment facing Pine Street. Two homes built directly to the west were built on two lots which were once vacant and part of this home's lot before the 1950's era residences were built. These two postwar infill homes have a somewhat reduced setback. The home's building setback mostly match the setbacks of the surrounding residences in the neighborhood. The attached garage with side driveway arrangement is retained. The streetcar suburb setting of its Mission Hills neighborhood is also retained. The house has excellent integrity of Setting.

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 Standards state that deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence.

The most important material element of the home include the home's stucco surfacing, red clay tile roof and inset arched door and wooden casement windows. The hand applied sandy wall stucco appears highly original, as does the front chimney which was added by historic individual Alan LeMay in 1931. Roof tiles have been repaired/reroofed with in-kind red clay barrel shaped replacements as shown in the current photographs. Rectangular attic vents along the flat roof and parapet are intact and original, although they have been painted over. The home displays its original fenestration with inset wooden casement and fixed windows, as seen in the circa 1931 historic photo. The home features largely original true divided light wooden windows with a few windows damaged by a past fire that have been replaced in

kind and approved by City of San Diego Historic Resources Department staff. The original solid wood lancet entry door was also replaced in-kind with the original door hardware reinstalled. The original partial width side entry porch has rusticated square wooden support columns and decorative corbels which is retained and intact with open beam ceiling and raised entry porch. The home displays original wooden multi-light casement windows are original or in kind window wooden replacements with single pane true divided light glazing. Flanking the front chimney, the two front deep inset rectangular focal windows appear very intact and unaltered.

As seen in circa 1931 historical photo mentioned, the home maintains all of its most important original materials or these original building materials have been replaced in kind due to fire and other damage. The non original front site wall seen in transitional photos has been removed and non-original French doors added in the original garage door opening has been replaced with an in-kind wooden garage door. The 2018 restoration, differentiation and rear addition were approved by City of San Diego Historic Resources Department staff (please see Attachment E.3, Criterion C) and later west side shed and site wall have been differentiated in keeping with the Secretary of Interior Standards, with smooth stucco surfacing and inset gate opening in order to delineate the original historic house from the non-historic site wall, shed and rear addition. The raised porch floor surfacing was most likely tile as seen on the circa 1950's residential building record which shows the outline with the abbreviation "T-CP" for TILE (floor) covered porch (Attachment A.5) Since the front porch flooring had been replaced by a previous owner, please see transitional photos (Attachment D.2) and original photos showing the front porch flooring were not found, the owner chose a simple rectangular tile to match to replace the non-original arched pattern flooring. This removal of non-original porch flooring is an improvement and the minor change of floor tile surfacing type seen on the front porch does not significantly affect the home's material integrity. There are no significant changes to the materials within the public view. As noted throughout this analysis, the Materials aspect of Integrity of this home is excellent.

Workmanship. Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory.

The craftsmanship exhibited in this house represents skilled construction techniques. In particular, the rustic porch support beams and windows with rounded inset reveal edge seen on window openings shows a high skill and craftsmanship level. High level skills were also utilized in creating the original divided light wooden casement windows. As noted above, the sculpting the exterior wall stucco, simple stucco chimney, door, tile attic vents and inset arched porch openings shows quality workmanship. The decorative leaded window is also retained and shows excellent original craftsmanship. The Workmanship aspect of Integrity is excellent.

Feeling. Feeling is a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time.

This 1927 Spanish Eclectic/Revival residence, in its present excellent original condition, is well preserved and imparts the visitor with a realistic sense and feeling for the 1920's - 1930's historic Mission Hills neighborhood. The home was constructed by Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger, and he most likely designed the home as well. The home blends in well with historic older neighboring properties in the Mission Hills neighborhood. The feeling of a Spanish Eclectic/Revival home in the late 1920's - 1930's era is retained. The Feeling aspect of Integrity is excellent.

*B10. Significance - Criterion C (continued):

Association. Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property.

The home at 2166 Pine Street is the most important existing San Diego connection to the life of famous and influential novelist / author and screenwriter Alan LeMay and his specific achievements as a significant historic Western genre author working in San Diego. LeMay's legacy as an author is the subject of numerous articles and books. Alan LeMay has a significant association with the resource from 1929 to 1936, as it is the home he owned and lived in with his family the longest of any in San Diego, and it is the home where he built a rear detached writer's cabin specifically for the purpose of having a quiet, private place to work while he created Western and other stories during the seminal time of his career from 1929 to 1936. The home and cabin are significant as they were LeMay's personal home and work studio during his most significant and productive years while living in San Diego.

The subject property is the best remaining example associated with Alan LeMay during his period of significance in San Diego. The home has excellent integrity representing LeMay's time at the house and is mostly intact and original to the time period when LeMay and his family lived at 2166 Pine Street.

In conclusion, the Alan LeMay / William Wahrenberger Speculation House #4 meets Location, Design, Setting, Materials, Workmanship, Feeling and Association aspects of integrity. Thus, the house has seven of seven aspects of integrity that apply and meets the Secretary of Interior's Standards for integrity. Therefore, Legacy 106, Inc. recommends the house for historical designation under Criterion C.

Criterion “D” Is representative of a notable work of a master builder, designer, architect, engineer, landscape architect, interior designer, artist or craftsman.

William F. Wahrenberger (already an established Master Builder) Builder, 1927

In April 1927, William F. Wahrenberger purchased Villa Lot 1 of Mission Hills, the vacant lot upon which he would construct the residence at 2166 Pine Street that same year. Wahrenberger is an established Master Builder in the City of San Diego.

On June 8, 1927, Wahrenberger applied for the water permit for 2166 Pine St. His name appears on the water permit as the property owner. The initial building permit was published in the San Diego Evening Tribune on June 10, 1927 and reads:

W.F. Wahrenberger, stucco cottage and garage. 2166 Pine; $6,000.

According to the home's Notice of Completion, which Wahrenberger filed with the County Recorder's Office on September 21, 1927, he both owned Villa Lot 1 and constructed the home and garage upon that lot, which was addressed as 2166 Pine St. The Notice states that the structures were actually completed on September 15, 1927.

2166 Pine Street first appears in San Diego city directories in 1929, when it was listed as "vacant." In July 1929, Wahrenberger sold the home to Alan LeMay and Esther S. LeMay. The LeMays owned and lived in the home until selling it in 1936.

A draftsman who designed many houses, William never obtained an architect’s license. He followed his father John into the construction business in San Diego, and they worked together until John’s death in 1918. William designed all the homes he built and completed some of the interior finish work himself. The homes he designed and constructed can be seen in several San Diego neighborhoods, including Mission Hills, Inspiration Heights, Fleetridge, La Jolla, Loma Portal and Point Loma. On several occasions, William built homes on groupings of adjacent lots that he purchased together. For example, in the 1910’s he built three Craftsman style residences at 4267 Trias St., 4277 Trias St., and 4285 Trias St. in the Fremont Heights subdivision within Mission Hills. In the 1940’s, William constructed four homes on adjacent lots in Loma Portal: 3220 Tennyson St., 3230 Tennyson St., 3240 Tennyson St., and 2110 Evergreen St.

Because he constructed houses for more than fifty years, William’s work evolved due to his improved skills and changes in stylistic trends. The homes he designed and built represent several styles including Craftsman, Spanish Eclectic, Italian Renaissance Revival and Colonial Revival. In addition to his architectural and building interests, he was an accomplished craftsman, carver, glass worker, calligrapher, and fisherman.

Early Life. On March 1, 1892, William Fredrick Wahrenberger was born in Colorado to John J. and Emilie Wahrenberger. Both William’s maternal and paternal grandparents were originally from Germany. According to the 1910 U.S. Census, William lived in Denver with his parents and younger sister Helen. By 1911, the family resided at 1121 E. Lewis Street in San Diego’s Mission Hills neighborhood. The 1911 San Diego city directory indicates that John Wahrenberger was employed as secretary of the Bay City Construction Company, headed by Master Builder Martin V. Melhorn. It should be noted that shortly before the Wahrenbergers relocated from Denver to San Diego, two other prominent San Diego builders, Nathan Rigdon and Martin V. Melhorn, did the same.

*B10. Significance - Criterion D (continued):

The Start of William F. Wahrenberger’s Building Career. In 1913, William constructed a two-story Craftsman style home for his parents. Located at 4267 Trias Street in Mission Hills, the home was historically designated in November 2004 as the John and Emilie Wahrenberger / William Wahrenberger Spec House #1 (HRB # 694). In 1917, William married Grace E. McCormick in San Diego. That same year, he constructed a house next door to his parents, and he and Grace used it as their personal residence. Located at 4277 Trias Street, this one-story Craftsman style home was historically designated in August 2004 as the William and Grace Wahrenberger House (HRB # 680). In 1923, William and Grace moved to 3924 Henry Street in Mission Hills, where they lived until moving to 3040 Dumas Street in Loma Portal around 1934. By 1939, William and Grace resided at 3205 Edith Lane in Loma Portal, and he lived there until his death in December 1965.

The above home addresses were all independently verified by Legacy 106, Inc. with building records and other historic research to have been designed and built by established Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger. The below continued list of homes built by Wahrenberger has been repeated by other historic consultants, but originated with the late local historic researcher Beth Montes. It is unclear what research sources were utilized by Montes to complete the original list, however, Legacy 106, Inc. researched all of the homes on the Montes list. Although most of the homes on the original Wahrenberger list were confirmed to be designed and built by William F. Wahrenberger, additional research revealed some homes on the Montes list were incorrectly attributed to Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger. For example, a building permit reveals a home at 3040 Dumas Street was constructed by another builder, although Wahrenberger lived in the home with his wife Grace for a few years.

*B10. Significance - Criterion D (continued):

Also, on this past list by Beth Montes, a home at 4396 Arista was actually lived in by a member of the Wahrenberger family (an individual named William F. Wahrenberger, who was the uncle of the master builder of the same name), but may not have been designed and built by Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger. Therefore, the addresses listed below are homes on the original Beth Montes list associated with Wahrenberger, and is shown for reference, but has not been independently verified or corroborated by Legacy 106, Inc. at this time:

 2110 Evergreen Street in Loma Portal.

 3839 Hawk Street in Mission Hills.

 3924 Henry Street in Mission Hills.

 212 Lewis Street in Mission Hills.

 4170 Randolph Street in Mission Hills.

 4184 Randolph Street in Mission Hills.

 3205 Tennyson Street in Loma Portal.

 3230 Tennyson Street in Loma Portal.

 3240 Tennyson Street in Loma Portal.

In terms of William F. Wahrenberger's body of design work in the Spanish Eclectic/Revival style, his earliest known work in the style was built in 1925. The J.A. and Mary Smith / William Wahrenberger House at 4188 Arden Way (HRB # 1026) and the adjacent home at 4196 Arden Way, built in 1926, both show Wahrenberger's utilization of an eclectic mixture of Spanish features, and appear to apply Spanish elements onto standard preceding Craftsman and Tudor style floor plans as was common on early houses in the Spanish Eclectic/Revival style. Wahrenberger's style appears to have matured and his Spanish style designs after 1927 utilize more asymmetrical floor plans, built with varied, complex massing and incorporating outdoor covered patios, covered porches and balconies. These post-1927 Wahrenberger homes appear more to be more designed from the ground up utilizing Spanish Eclectic/Revival designs as opposed to the earlier homes applying Spanish style features to an interchangeable floor plan or design. The subject home at 2166 Pine Street, built in 1927, was designed and built during this more experienced Spanish design phase of Wahrenberger's career.

The home at 2166 Pine Street is related to a similar style residence at 826 San Luis Rey Place in Mission Beach (please see attachment E.4, Criterion D). Also built in 1927, 826 San Luis Rey Place shares the same side gabled front façade with side facing front covered porch, but utilizes front facing windows on the front porch instead of the double French doors William F. Wahrenberger designed on the subject resource. That similar design also lacks the attached garage seen on the Alan LeMay / William Wahrenberger Speculation House #4.

*B10. Significance - Criterion D (continued):

The true divided light window pattern also differs on the San Luis Rey Place house and it also appears that non-original stone veneer was added to that home on the lower wall surfaces, as was an attached wooden pergola.

Regardless, the similar home at 826 San Luis Rey Place home shows a stucco chimney with a deep inset flanking rectangular windows matching the subject resource. The Alan LeMay / William Wahrenberger Speculation House #4 at 2166 Pine Street also differs from 826 San Luis Rey Place in that the subject resource was built on a much more difficult sloping canyon lot with a full floor seen below at the rear overlooking the canyon. Also, on the proposed Alan LeMay / William Wahrenberger Speculation House #4, but not seen on the similar home at 826 San Luis Rey Place, Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger incorporated an unusual two-piece corner window on the western side of the home facing the rear open canyon in order to maximize the natural canyon view and to connect indoor and outdoor living spaces, foretelling the Modernist use of blended indoor and outdoor living spaces 30 to 40 years later.

The Alan LeMay / William Wahrenberger Speculation House #4 is an excellent and significant example of the work of Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger. The house embodies distinctive elements of Wahrenberger's use of Spanish Eclectic/Revival style architecture at a more experienced point in his building career. This resource can be seen as a more studied and elaborate version of Wahrenberger's work in the Spanish Eclectic/Revival style, and is an important surviving example of his architectural skill and design in 1927.

The only visible change from the original Wahrenberger design is that historically significant author and novelist Alan LeMay extended the front chimney on the subject home in 1934, as seen in building permits, and confirmed in interviews and examination of the 1931 historical photo. The 1934 chimney extension gains significance because of its association with historically significant individual Alan LeMay and the home at 2166 Pine Street continues to represent a notable work of Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger's work in the Spanish Eclectic/Revival style.

A.6 County Lot and Block Book Page 2166 Pine Street was first assessed to Master Builder William F. Wahrenberger in 1928. It was assessed to Alan LeMay in 1930.

It appears that the assessed value of $1,430 for improvements in 1928 was incorrectly written on this first line, when it should have been written directly below, on the second line. The first line refers to the portion of Villa Lot 1 which remained vacant until many years after 2166 Pine St. was built. The second line refers to the southeasterly portion of Villa Lot 1 where 2166 Pine Street was constructed. Note that due to a resubdivision of Villa Lot 1 in 1960, the legal description of 2166 Pine St. was changed to Lot 3 of Mission Hills Resubdivision No. 1.

C.3 Original Subdivision Map When 2166 Pine Street was constructed on Villa Lot 1, it was part of this original subdivision map of Mission Hills (map # 1115, filed in 1908). Note that Villa Lot 1 was originally a large wedge-shaped parcel, with 2166 Pine Street occupying only the southeasterly portion. The portion of the parcel to the northwest of the home remained vacant for many years, until Villa Lot 1 was subdivided into three parcels in 1960.

87

C.3 Original Subdivision Map Continued on next page

C

In 1960, Willard and Ellen Peterson, owners of 2166 Pine Street since 1952, subdivided the lot upon which 2166 Pine Street is located.

The legal description of the lot was originally Villa Lot One (1) of Mission Hills. This original lot was wedge shaped and extended northwesterly to the intersection with Hortensia Street. The two homes directly northwest of 2166 Pine Street were not constructed until more recently.

In 1960, when the Petersons subdivided Villa Lot 1 into three parcels, a new subdivision map was filed only for Villa Lot 1. This map, titled Mission Hills Resubdivision No. 1, only pertains to this lot subdivision that occurred in 1960. It is map number 4640. After the lot subdivision in 1960, the legal description of 2166 Pine Street changed to Lot 3 of Mission Hills Resubdivision No. 1.

88

C.3 Original Subdivision Map The yellow overlay shows the original, entire parcel of Villa Lot 1 of Mission Hills. 2166 Pine Street occupied only the southeasterly portion, where the red arrow is. The portion of the parcel to the northwest of the 2166 Pine Street remained vacant for many years. In 1960, Villa Lot 1 was subdivided into three parcels, which are shown on the map below. After the lot subdivision in 1960, the legal description of 2166 Pine Street changed to Lot 3 of Mission Hills Resubdivision No. 1.

E.2 Criterion B – Historical Person Harold E. Stephens and Susan G. Stephens Marty Owner and Resident, 1967 to 1972 (Harold) Owner and Resident, 1967 to 2011 (Susan) That’s One Classy, Beautiful, and Gifted Lady

Patty Ducey-Brooks | Presidio Sentinel | October 4, 2011

I remember the first time I met Sue Stephens-Marty. It was well over twenty years ago when she was a co-owner of Café Del Rey Morro in Balboa Park. I was extremely impressed with her style, grace and kindness. In addition to her beauty, Sue glowed with personality. She made a huge impression on me.

Twelve years ago, with some encouragement from Chuck Fox, who was editor at that time, Sue agreed to join the writing team of the Presidio Sentinel. This past month, Fox and I reminisced about Sue during a celebration of her life at a reception at Trellisses in Mission Valley. We both commented on what a talented and gifted person Sue was. And, at 66 years of age, she had hoped to experience, give and share so much more.

Recently, Pancho (Francisco) Marty, Sue’s husband of 17 years, shared with me their time together. Pancho and Sue had known each other for 34 years. Their relationship was filled with family and friends, arts, culture, food, music, travel and comedy. The humor began the first day they met. Pancho said they met in Mexico when he was a sales manager for San Antonio Del Mar. Sue had just purchased property from his real estate office.

Pancho posed the question, “Do you like to gamble?” Sue said no, not really. He continued to ask if she would be willing to bet on an upcoming football game. If he won, she would pay for dinner. If she won, he would pay for dinner. As Pancho commented, either way, he would win. Pancho knew he would be having dinner with this “incredibly beautiful woman.” She agreed, and their lifetime relationship began.

34 years later, Pancho continues to speak of Sue’s beauty, and her gracious, kind and giving personality. He also spoke of Sue’s commitment to the community. She loved Mission Hills and the summer Concerts in the Park.

Sue Stephens enjoyed living life to the fullest.

Pancho and Sue, sponsors of the Concerts in the Park, frequented them with friends and family. And, they had their favorite moments, which included the evening’s opportunity drawing.

Pancho reminded me that several years ago they were the winners of a pug dog, stuffed, that is. He said he surprised Sue during one of their international trips. He told her that he had invited a guest. She asked, “who?” Out of his suitcase came the pug. Sue laughed and thanked him for the unexpected guest. Pancho said the pug joined them on every trip and journey from that day forward, and had developed quite a reputation as an international traveler.

Pancho also commented on Sue’s love for adventure, which she shared in her regular monthly articles in the Presidio Sentinel. She would entwine her worldly travels with her food column. Every month I looked forward to reading her column and attempting some of the dishes that she presented.

Article continued from previous page

Anyone who knew Sue also knows she excelled at everything she did. She was an accomplished writer and author, and an incredible jewelry designer. Sue founded Venezia Bella, an online retail jewelry website. Her jewelry designs were known and recognized throughout the world.

She was also the first woman to chair the San Diego Convention & Visitor Bureau’s (CONVIS) board of directors. Sue served on the San Diego Film Commission, the Hotel Sales Management Association and was president of the Food and Beverage Association. She was on the board of the Holiday Bowl, and was on the executive board of the San Diego Festival of the Arts.

Sue also owned Layfa, a consulting firm that marketed food and beverage products. Layfa, Pancho shared with me, means “beautiful flower,” a name befitting of Sue’s business venture. She was also a member of the public relations staff at the San Diego Zoo and worked for Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) in food and hospitality.

The last time I communicated with Sue, she was “thinking forward.” She was planning a December 2011 trunk show for her jewelry designs, and was optimistic about writing again for the Presidio Sentinel. Pancho shared the same, she was focused on her next journey and adventure, which included an October trip to Cambria, Carmel and San Francisco. Besides Venice, Italy, this Northern California trip was her favorite.

Sue often went there to “think straight” and get her life in order.

As Sue’s friend and business associate, that’s all I ever saw and experienced. She was one of the most organized, creative and visionary people I’d met. And, now there is this big gap in my life, knowing that I don’t have her to call or talk to, to rely on for secret encouragement and guidance. And, I will truly miss all the gifts, her writing, storytelling, parties, dinners, conversations, kindness and friendship.

Sue, you are truly one classy, beautiful and gifted lady. Thanks for your inspiration and years of friendship.

In honor of Sue’s life, her family suggests donations to Scripps’ cancer programs, Scripps Mercy Hospital, or Scripps Health Foundation, P.O. Box 2669, San Diego, CA 92038.
