P3a. Description: The 1928/late 1970's asymmetrical Spanish Colonial Revival/Eclectic Peyton/UIIrich/Shepherd house reflects the genteel architectural experimental days of La Jolla's 1920's boom. The requisite materials of the style; red tile roofs, smooth stucco finish, open eave brackets, stylized wood elements, and-detailed ornamental iron were masterfully assembled originally by architect Edgar V. Ullrich, a recognized master architect, with subsequent modifications (1970's) by master architect Thomas L. Shepherd. Both men feature prominently in the development of La Jolla Hermosa. The house is a modified 'U' form with a later 1970's detached garage facing the rear alley at the southeast property line. The two story wesVeast building is intersected by the original west facing one story level near mid point. (See continuation sheet P3a.)

Construction History: Described in the 1928 Notice of Completion as a 'Spanish Stucco Residence and Garage' the house remained essentially in its original configuration throughout the late 1970's. During the Joehnk ownership the home was significantly enlarged: a two story section was added to the northwest corner of the front; the front elevation was advanced forward; the primary entry door, originally asymmetrical, was moved to the center; the linear east/west section of the house was connected to the original detached garage with further refinements along its courtyard elevation; a new irregular shaped garage was added at the southeast corner of the property along the alley; and the rear exterior dominant chimney was heightened. In 1980 a front courtyard with low stucco garden wall was added; and the rear patio was improved with the addition of a pool, arbor and high garden wall along the southern property line.

P3a. Continued
The residence was originally sited on the lot with a generous 30' setback facing west. The south end of the front elevation rounding the corner to include all of the south elevation wrapping to the east elevation toward the French doors is original Ullrich design. During the Joehnk ownership, 1975-2002, Shepherd was commissioned to provide more living space resulting in the northwest corner two story addition, as well as more storage, laundry and workspace which he massed in the linear extension to the rear. (See ca. 1970's Shepherd architectural drawings in Attachment E).
The late 1970's Shepherd remodel was entirely sympathetic to the design precedents of Ullrich, i.e.: typically large square paned 1 over 3 pattern wood windows; a unique stucco 'hooded' top detail and decorative iron work over primary window groupings; and raised stucco surrounds on all windows and doors.
Shepherd also introduced an abbreviated Monterey style balcony, adding to the Eclecticism, on the two story addition facing the entry courtyard with French doors beneath, Both exterior dominant chimneys were raised in height, one on the north elevation and one on the east elevation facing the rear patio.
In its present form 6101 Avenida Cresta, as a blended design of architects Ullrich and Shepherd, the residence maintains a high degree of historical integrity from its initial and subsequent periods of significance.

La Jolla Hermosa Subdivision, first unit ca. 1923-1930 From the award winning SDHS Institute of History research article, "La Jolla Hermosa: A Subdivision Triumph", published in the Journal of San Diego History, Summer 1985, author Thomas A. Jamison comprehensively documents the development of this distinctly creative community.
In May of 1923 La Jolla Properties, Inc. filed Articles of Incorporation with the state of California. The La Jolla Hermosa map was filed in October of 1923 and outlined a succinct community bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Bird Rock subdivision, Via del Norte to the north, and La Jolla Boulevard to the east. By design the subdivision captured the most articulated stretch of the south La Jolla coastline which clearly informed the curvilinear street layout. Streets specific to Unit 1 of La Jolla Hermosa were/are: Camino de Ia Costa, Avenida Cresta, Vista de Ia Mesa, La Canada, Mira Monte, and Avenida Cortez.
Article provided in Attachment E - Criterion A
Jamison concludes his piece in sum,
"La Jolla Hermosa generated profits for La Jolla Properties, Inc. The tract was and remains a textbook example of business acumen and understanding. Rapidly developed in 1923, Hermosa established an early lead in the competitive subdivision battles to follow. From the beginning, La Jolla Hermosa proved viable. The extensive improvement program, the building restrictions, the availability of the finest architects provided for a sound and feasible investment. La Jolla Properties targeted its audience. The advertisements appealed to a distinct class of people and higher lot prices virtually guaranteed purchase by upper class families. And finally, the development furnished only first class amenities. The seaside location, the 4-inch concrete paved roads and alleys, the carefully planted palm trees contributed to the excellent reputation acquired by the tract. La Jolla Hermosa proved to those in its wake the ability of a subdivision to establish community identity and reap financial rewards in the process."
Major James W. Peyton According to a1981 oral history by Betty Peyton, daughter of Major Peyton, the motivation for the family moving to La Jolla from their home in Ft. Sheridan, Illinois was, "Daddy was assigned to the San Diego Army and Navy Academy in Pacific Beach ... he was a retired officer on active duty at the time." The Army Navy Academy (ca. 191 0) later became known as the Brown Academy on a sizable campus on Garnet Ave. at Lamont St. The family lived in the residence for eight years.

The architectural style of 6101 Avenida Cresta is post 1915 Panama California Exposition Spanish Colonial/Eclectic. Interpreted by two of La Jolla's most recognized master architects, Edgar V. Ullrich and State of California-The Resources Agency Primary#_~------DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION Continuation Sheet HRI# Page 5 Resource Name or#: Peyton/UIIrich/Shepherd House
Thomas L. Shepherd, albeit forty years apart yet the work appears seamless in design intent and execution. From Ullrich's late 1920's modest one story subtle Spanish residence to Shepherd's sophisticated yet compatible additions both meld as if it were designed at the same time under one designer.
Spanish Colonial l'levivaVEclectic From as early as the 1890's Southern California embraced Spanish and Mexican design precedents in architecture which manifested in variations of Spanish Colonial and Mission Revival styles. The Santa Fe Railway, a dominant force in settling and developing the American southwest, promulgated the Mission Revival style to further romanticize and 'sell' the West to potential residents and investors. The Spanish Revival Eclectic style, however, came into vogue much later as a further hybrid of those same precedents exhibiting more freedom of expression and interpretation.
As the United States prepared to officially celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal in 1915 in a lavish San Francisco Exposition, San Diego was in a position to host a coincident event meant to celebrate the linking of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. San Diego, the upstart city, staged its own '1915-16 Panama California Exposition' without sanction by the federal government, and created· one of the most character-defining complexes of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in the Southwest if not the U.S. In 1950, author T.E. Sanford, in his book Architecture of the Southwest. wrote, ''The marriage of what was seen as historical and logical appropriateness and unfamiliarity was a fruitful one'.... 'and Balboa Park became the birthplace of that Spanish Colonial revival which by 1925 had become a nationwide craze.'
C.M. Price in the March 1915 issue of Architectural Record 37praised master architect and creator of the Exposition architecture, Bertram Goodhue, for advancing his design narrative ... " 'Atmosphere'--in 1915--the word when used metaphorically was still put between quotation marks- was to be that of 'a Spanish City of flower-grown surfaces, reflecting the sunlight and the history and romance of Southern California."
In San Diego: A Pictorial History, author, Dr. Raymond Starr notes the 'look' of San Diego and the remarkable impact the 1915 Panama-California Exposition had on San Diego's built environment, essentially imprinting the region thereafter with all variations of the style. He writes: "From the arrival of Horton until this time (1915), San Diego had architecturally been a Victorian town, with a few classical buildings thrown in. From this point on, the Hispanic origins of San Diego would be firmly established. .. "
After the exposition the flood of Spanish Revival variations coalesced into an eclectic free-style of interpretation. Spanish Revival Eclectic architecture became the character defining style in San Diego from 1915-1940, manifesting into the built environment by 1920 (McAlester). It eclipsed latter day Victorian and Arts and Crafts styles and ran its course until the onset of WWII. The style borrows from all Spanish Colonial and Mission Revival period historical precedents and is present in several older communities in San Diego.
The Spanish Revival Eclectic style is identifiable by recurring elements such as; asymmetry in fa9ades and fenestration, low pitch tiled roofs with modest, if any, eave overhang, stucco wall surfaces, focal Windows, elaborated chimney tops, balconies, ornamental iron, and interior courtyards and fountains.

Criterion D: Master Builder Resource is representative of the notable work of a master builder, designer, architect, engineer, landscape architect, interior designer, artist or craftsman.
6101 Avenida Cresta in La Jolla Hermosa was fortunate to have had two of La Jolla's most notable architects create what is extant today. Although nearly forty years apait both Ullrich, in 1928, and Shepherd, in the late 1970's, effected a masterful design language which is evident in the home today. Edgar V. Ullrich, commissioned in 1928 by Major Peyton, the home's original owner/builder, created the original one story 'U' shaped Spanish Colonial Revival/Eclectic residence and original garage. Ullrich, who was the La Jolla Hermosa Tract architect, not only set the 'tone' for this house but for the Tract in general. Shepherd was later hired during the Joehnk family ownership and provided additional space but respectfully deferred to, and paid homage to, the home's original designer, a man and colleague he knew well.
The home is significant because of the participation of both arcl:litects and cannot logically be separated as one work over another. It is a community specific (La Jolla) and subdivision specific (La Jolla Hermosa) posthumous partnership of the 1wo, with Shepherd seemingly having the last word.
The City of San Diego policy requires a 45+ year age threshold to qualify for historical significance. 6101 Avenida Cresta is an extraordinary exception for the following reasons. Both architects, Ullrich and Shepherd, are recognized as masters in their field of architecture by the City, and both have extensive respective bodies of work. Both figured prominently in the development of La Jolla Hermosa and the community of La Jolla. A designer's work through maturity does not observe an arbitrary 'cut off date', and there is no specific policy to deny historical designation to an architects work at that threshold. The blended design over time and the existing condition of the residence today renders the home undeniably significant.
Edgar Vaughn Ullrich, Architect (1893-1958) The City of San Diego recognizes Edgar V. Ullrich as a master architect
Edgar V. Ullrich was one of La Jolla's, and San Diego's, most notable architects recognized as a master interpreter of the Spanish Revival 'Eclectic' style. Originally from Colorado Springs, CO, Ullrich favored the Spanish inspired style that seemed a perfect climate and cultural fit for his newly adopted home of La Jolla, although throughout his career he also designed several English Tudor and French Normandy Revival homes including his own residence in the La Jolla's Barber Tract.
Edgar V. Ullrich is most known for his design of the Casa de Manana an architectural design award winner in 1924. From an early La Jolla Journal article of September 1923:
'Casa Manana: the house of rest (sic), Is the name of La Jolla's beautiful new Spanish-type hotel, preparation of the grounds tor which will be started immediately. This delightful and needed edifice will cost more than one-quarter of a million dollars and will possess as distinct a personality among inns as famous El Mirasol itself, the Santa Barbara institution. Mrs. Morrison Hopkins of Colorado Springs is the builder and Edgar V. Ullrich of the same city is the designing architect.
The tour acres of ground constituting the hotel site occupy a picturesque ocean-front expanse known as Seaside point, adjoining the beautiful terraced gardens of the famous Ellen Scripps State of California-The Resources Agency Primary#_~------DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION Continuation Sheet HRI# Page 7 Resource Name or#: Peyton/UIIrich!Shepherd House
residence and the Coast Boulevard. It is difficult to conceive a more glorious or inspiring setting than this broad promontory, dominating miles of the blue Pacific and divided between rocky ledges and grottoes and little beaches of pure white sand. It is expected that 'Casa Manana' will be open by May 1, 1924.
The seaside hotel gained national attention which led to Ullrich's elevation and customization of the design style. The Casa was used as a case study in architectural curricula and text at the University of Illinois. Ullrich was again recognized in a 1925 article entitled, 'Spanish Architecture in the Modern Hotel' in the nationally published, 'Architectural Forum' magazine which stated, "A striking example of a hotel which includes all modern conveniences, and at the same time possesses much Old World charm and picturesqueness of appearance.". Only eight California architects were featured in Architectural Forum that year. Ullrich's architectural studio is still extant on the grounds of the Casa de Manana (historical photo provided). After a fire in the studio which destroyed many of his drawings he moved his office to La Jolla Blvd. in the heart of La Jolla Hermosa.
La Jolla went through a significant real estate boom in the 1920's and began to build out of the 'village' east toward Mt. Soledad and south toward Pacific Beach. Bird Rock, La Jolla Hermosa, La Jolla Strand, the original Muirlands and other subdivisions to the east were all realized during this time. Ullrich played a prominent role as tract architect in site planning and architectural design of both the Muirlands, and the original La Jolla Hermosa subdivisions.
"The duties of a tract architect included presenting the lot buyer with possible designs, attempting to satisfy the architectural demands of the tract owners and whirps of the low owners, and approving all designs of other architects prior to construction in the tract. Ullrich designed many homes throughout La Jolla and San Diego in a 30-year career. His attention to detail-the random tile roofing with noticeable mortar, distinctive chimneys, grilled windows, wooden shutters with pegs-is apparent on many Hermosa homes." (Jamison)
Additional examples of Ullrich's work are; the University of San Diego, Saint Brigid's, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Mary Magdalene, St. John's, St. Martin's, and Holy Family Catholic Churches, the Muir Elementary School, and several residences in the San Diego area.
In September of 1927 the San Diego Union heralded the plans for an impressive Spanish Revival residence that Harold J. Muir, developer of the Muirlands, was building for himself and his family designed by architect, Edgar V. Ullrich. Somewhat overstated in the local news, the Muir estate ·
was referred to as the 'Versailles' of La Jolla. The Muirlands and the Muir home were featured in the February 1929 issue of 'California Arts and Architecture', a prestigious magazine covering high end residential architecture on the Pacific Coast:
"In this, the third of our series of articles on the homeland of La Jolla, we are assuming that our readers have ... already visited the suburb ... But the unusual foresight and expert daring of those in whose hands the future of th Ullrich passed away in 1958 and was given full Catholic rites at St. Mary Magdalene Church, one of the many Catholic churches he personally designed. Thomas L. Shepherd, Architect (1897-1979) The City of San Diego recognizes Thomas L. Shepherd as a master architect Thomas Shepherd born in 1897 was originally from Wisconsin. He studied architecture at Columbia University in New York, but was influenced chiefly by his travels in Europe and the Mediterranean and subsequently developed his approach to architectural design from those influences. He came west and interned under the noted southern California architect, George Washington Smith in Santa Barbara, and worked briefly in Pasadena. Shepherd came to La Jolla in 1926 and formed a short-lived partnership with master architect Herbert Mann 1927-1932. Shepherd, later, would rise to greater prominence from the 1930's on through the 1970's, although Mann often provided design and technical support for several of Shepherd's projects while they seemingly switched roles. Shepherd began designing homes within prestigious subdivisions such as the Barber Tract, La Jolla Hermosa, the Muirlands as well as other notable sites, but mostly in La Jolla. He was especially known for customizing his designs to suit the more sophisticated lifestyles of his clientele. "Shepherd claimed to prefer no singular style, but rather designed for the particular needs and tastes of the owner. He disavowed any regard for architectural conformity. Extensive travels throughout Japan and Europe allowed Shepherd further design possibilities. Many Hermosa designs incorporated these nuances." (Jamison) Other buildings attributed to Shepherd are; the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, the Marine Room, the addition to the La Valencia Hotel, a Scripps residence and several other commercial and residential projects, mostly in La Jolla. · Stale of California-The Resources Agency Primary#______DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION Continuation Sheet HRI# Page Attachment A Resource Name or #: Peyton!UIIrich/Shepherd House Attachment A: Building Development Information 1.

JAMISON San Diego Historical Society 1985 Institute of History n May 21, 1.923 La Jolla Properties, Inc. filed Articles of Incorpora O tion with the State of California. The company ownd $220,000 in capital stock. Eleven local businessmen and developers became members of the Board of Directors. 1 Each director purchased one share of stock at $100, totalling $1100, and proceeded to buy, develop, and sell real estate in La Jolla, California. On June 17, 1923 La Jolla Properties, Inc. announced the opening of a new subdivision named La Jolla Hermosa.~ The Balfour Companyl became the. _exclusive sales firm for the tract, and the owners designated Frank Turnbull4 President and Tract Manager. In October, 1923 Tract EnVneer, Chrmce P_ D Construction of the Adams House, in stone, c. 1927. Many well-known architects like Thomas Shepherd, Edgar Ullrich and Clifford May left their mark on La Jolla Hermosa. Only the best amenities-4-inch concrete paved roads and alleys, careful La Jolla Hermosa 219 ly planted palm trees-contributed to the tract's excellent reputation. Jolla Shores40 took to the coastline north of La Jolla. The Rolando41 tract sold lots in the flatlands of East San Diego. Lot sizes, prices, improvements, and restrictions varied. Hermosa celebrated its sixth anniversary in the 4 company of several competitors. l While keen competition prevailed during 1928 and 1929, La Jolla Her mosa held its own. The quality and extent of the improvements paid off. In 1928 Ullrich designed, and contractors completed, the homes of Hollywood artist Norman Kennedy, 43 Major ].W. Peyton,44 and local businessman, Karl Kenyon. 45 The community-like atmosphere contributed to neighborhood sociability; dinner parties proved popular among residents during this period. 4 ~ The Hermosa region, between the rapidly expanding community of La Jolla and the City of San Diego, assured property value increases. La Jolla Hermosa managed to remain solvent and profitable because the tract followed, and perhaps set, the rules governing subdivision success. James Vf. Muir47 spoke of an architectural pattern which defined the La Jolla community. "There is little display and people usually keep the ·magnificence of their homes inside. Many a wonderful inner court is there in La Jolla concealed by straight-sided exterior walls."48 A stroll past the Hermosa designs of Ullrich, Shepherd, ·May, and Palmer left little doubt of such a pattern. Restraint struck a common chord among real estate analysts. The San Diego Union attributed the success of the "comprehensive development and home building program" of La Jolla Properties, Inc. to the restrictions established in 1923. Muir said that limitation establishes prop erty value. Frank Turnbull maintained in February, 1928 that financial and architectural restrictions guaranteed high investment value. In June, 1928 a large number of La Jolla residents appeared in social registers; the communi ty boitst~d the highest "notability rate" per ·capita of any place in the nation. 49 From the outset Hermosa advertisements focused on this sector of the public. These tenets, estabiished·by the founders of La Jolla Hermosa, remained intact as the subdivision moved into the 1930s and beyond. Initiated by the triumph of the original Hermosa and the certainty of a profitable Unit Two, La Jolla Properties had valid reason in its attempt to enhance the stately reputation of Hermosa with a business and community center. The project never materialized beyond the Administration and Fine Arts Building for lack of funding. 50 In October, 1929 the financial hardships wrought by the 5 Depression greatly affected real estate in San Diego and La Jolla Hermosa. ' La Jolla Hermosa generated profits for La Jolla Properties, Inc. The tract was and remains a textbook example of business acumen and understand ing. Rapidly developed in 1923, Hermosa established an early lead in the competitive subdivision battles to follow. From the beginning, La Jolla Her mosa proved viable. The extensive improvement program, the building restrictions, the availability of the finest architects provided for a sound and La Jolla Hermosa 221 A much later view of La Jolla Hermosa about 1950. feasible investment. La Jolla Properties tarieted its audience. The adver tisements appealed to a distinct class of people and higher lot prices vir tually guaranteed purchase by upper income families. And finally, the development furnished only first class amenities. The seaside location, the 4-inch concrete paved roads and alleys, the carefully planted palm trees contributed to the excellent reputation acquired by the tract. La Jolla Her mosa proved to those in its wake the ability of a subdivision to establish com.rnunity identity and reap financial rewards in the process. NOTES 1.

Research of the origin of the Balfour name uncovered nothing.

Frank Turnbull, a native of England, came to La Jolla after a very distinguished duty in World War I. His perfocmance earned him the DecOration for Gallantry. Turnbull is suppose9· to have conceived of La Jolla Hermosa from residential areas he saw in France. According to those who knew him or knew of him, T umbull had a eertain 'sense" about real estate development and 5ales. A resident of La Jolla for 40 years, Turnbull died at the age of 73 on March 11, 1957. See The San Diego Union. April10, 1927, Sect.

Tufts was born in Viejas, California; his mother's family came to San Diego in 1 . His maternal grandfather, Alfred Ellis, had been a blacksmith with a shop located 4th Avenue and Market Street. Tufts had a brother, Robert, and three sisters--Editli, ayme and Anna. In 1928 Tufts was e Joyed as a draftsman for building contractor C. H. Tifal, who had an office located t 1152 7th Avenue in San Diego. Tufts became an independent architectural desi er from 1929-1933: In 1929 Tufts married a wo an named Marion, lived on Madison Avenue, and maintained his office on "E" Street. n this same year, he took charge of the archi tectural department in the Quality Bu ding and Securities Company. Some of his architectural plans during this year inclu d attractive residences for such prominent San Diegans as Gil Gist, H. E. Greene, Edw d Clay, Louis C. Robinson, and W. W. Russell. By 1930, Tufts resided at his mother address on State Street, and by 1932 was divorced and remarried, this time to a worn named Sadie J. In 1931 Tufts' father had died, and by Dec ber 1934, his mother had also passed away. Charles and Sadie left San Diego to se e in San Francisco sometime between 1933 and 1934. They returned to San Diego in 40 and lived in the family home at 1941 State Street. During World War II; Tufts bee e the chief inspector at the Naval Traini':\}g Station. He died on March 30, 1942 at the e of 50, survived by a daughter, Mrs.' Roy Moon, his wife Sadie, his brother, and h' hree sisters. AP/SAM Edgar Vaughn Ullrich Edgar Vaughn Ullrich came to San Diego from Colorado Springs in 1924 by the personal invitation of Mrs. Isabel Hopkins, specifically to design her Casa de Manana Hotel in La Jolla; this hotel has since been judged as the best designed one of its type in Southern California. San Diego seems to have appealed to the ~· young architect: Ullrich became a permanent resident. During his 34- year career, he designed several large residences in La Jolla. Two of these-the Muir House, commonly referred to as the "Versailles of La Jolla" and the Bailie House--are located in the Muirlands section, which Ullrich planned. UHrich's buildings generally reflect a Mediterranean style, the Southern Casa de Manana, La Jolla 184 Edgar V. Ullrich (Cont'd.) California Spanish vernacular architecture, popular during the 1920s and 1930s. By contrast, Ullrich utilized a pseudo-Tudor type of architecture in the design of his personal residence in La Jolla. Ullrich's classical Renaissance buildings can be found on the campus of the University of San Diego, which honored him for his design of the Immaculate Heart Seminary and the More Hall School of Law. Ullrich died in 1958 and is interred in the Holy Cross Chapel-Mausoleum.

This home was considered by Mr. Shepard to be one of his best remodeling jobs. Mr. Shepard finished the design of the remodel in the hospital prior to his death.
