Preferred Citation note Cliff May papers, Architecture and Design Collection. Art, Design & Architecture Museum; University of California, Santa Barbara. Biographical Note Born in San Diego, Cliff May (1908-1989) was a sixth-generation Californian. He studied business at San Diego State College from 1929-1931, but left without a diploma. After leaving San Diego State, May began building Monterey style furniture. Furniture building led to building his first house with help from developer Roy Lichty, his father-in-law. Before May moved to Los Angeles in 1936, he had built 35 houses over a 5 year period in San Diego. Cliff May relocated to Los Angeles to work with financier John A. Smith. Together they embarked on building and marketing May’s urban ranch house designs, including for the development called Riviera Ranch, a subdivision in West Los Angeles marketed to the wealthy. By 1943, he had established a national reputation as a designer of custom California Ranch Houses. May participated in House Beautiful's Pace Setter Program, a series of exhibition houses, by designing the first Pace Setter House, which was built in Riviera Ranch in 1948. As Cliff May Homes Incorporated, May sold low-cost ranch home plans to developers in California and across the country. May designed and built the corporate headquarters for the Lane Publishing Company ( Sunset magazine) in Menlo Park and the Robert Mondavi winery in Rutherford, California. May maintained an active architectural practice in Los Angeles until his death in 1989. Scope and Contents note The Cliff May papers span 350 linear feet and date from circa 1931 to circa 1989. The collection is comprised of architectural drawings and sketches (originals and reprographic copies), clippings and scrapbooks, correspondence, photographs, awards, financial records, legal files including for lawsuits, appointment books, one model, a bust, and ephemera. Papers document most of Cliff May's house designs and his marketing of his work, beginning in the 1930s in San Diego, and including his designs for haciendas, Monterey Revival, and California ranch houses for individual clients and for licensing by other builders and developers for medium and low cost ranch house developments in California, Texas, other places in the U.S., and even in other countries.

HRB-14-031 ATTENTION: Historical Resources Board Agenda of April 24, 2014 SUBJECT: ITEM #9 – Cliff May House APPLICANT: Dampier Family Trust represented by Marie Burke Lia LOCATION: 4338 Adams Avenue, Kensington-Talmadge Community, Council District 9 DESCRIPTION: Consider the designation of the Cliff May House located at 4338 Adams Avenue as a historical resource. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Designate the Cliff May House located at 4338 Adams Avenue as a historical resource with a period of significance of 1935 under HRB Criteria A, C and D. The designation excludes the 691 square foot second story addition constructed in 1967. This recommendation is based on the following findings: 1. The resource is a special element of the City’s architectural and aesthetic development and retains integrity. Specifically, the resource, designed by Master Architect Cliff May as his personal residence, is one of his seminal designs in which he explored his personal Hispanic heritage and its influence on his design philosophy. Through experimenting in the design of his own home, he developed his California Rancheria style and marketed the subject property as the embodiment of this new style that blended the romance and charm of early California design with modern living in an affordable package. 2. The resource embodies the distinctive characteristics through the retention of character defining features of the California Rancheria style and retains a good level of architectural integrity from its period of significance.

    Gallegos 1 Laura Gallegos Dr. L. Jones History

    Gallegos 1 Laura Gallegos Dr. L. Jones History 184 28 April 2005 Cliff May and the California Ranch House “A ranch house, because of its name alone, borrows friendliness, implicitly, informality, and gaiety from the men and women who, in the past, found those pleasures in ranch- house living.” –Cliff May 19461 It is no secret that the weather in California is one of the most sought after in the United States. When the Rose Bowl is televised throughout the United States on New Year’s Day, inquires by potential homebuyers from out of state increase dramatically. Thus it comes as no surprise why Cliff May created the modern California ranch house that was made specifically to embrace the sunny and warm California days and nights. There is no doubt that Cliff May should be included in this architectural book that celebrates California’s most talented architects. May’s ability to modernize the California ranch house to fit the contemporary American family and making it available to the masses is how he earned his place in this book. To understand Cliff May and his designs, one must first understand the origins of the ranch house. The original California ranch house began when the Spaniards inhabited the state. Their homes were unique to the area in their methods of construction. In order to properly support the heavy roof, the adobe walls had to be at least three feet wide and because the house had no foundation, it had to be close to the ground, therefore restricting its height. Low roofs allowed for a deep overhang which would protect the 1 Faragher, John Mack.
