2 City of Santa Monica APN: City Landmark Assessment and Evaluation BACKGROUND INFORMATION Description of site or structure, note any major alterations and dates of alterations The subject property is located on the west side of 22 nd Street just south of Montana Avenue. The legal description of the subject property is Tract 1351, Lot 5, Block 9. The property consists of the primary residence and what appears to be a freestanding garage/living unit to the rear of the house. The style of the house is Craftsman with Colonial Revival influences. It is located in a neighborhood consisting primarily of one-story single family dwellings erected in the 1920s amongst which are a number of large two-story houses erected since the 1970s. The property has not been previously identified in the City s Historic Resources Inventory or in subsequent survey updates and evaluations. Description. The subject property is a one story, single-family residence that is primarily Craftsman in style with Colonial Revival elements. It corresponds with Style #385 from the Pacific Ready-Cut Homes catalog. The house is capped by a low-pitched side-gabled roof with a front-gabled portion on the north end of the primary (east) elevation. Narrow clapboard siding sheathes exterior surfaces. The dwelling s carved bargeboards, exposed rafter tails, projecting beam ends, and deep overhanging eaves are typical of the Craftsman style. A concrete path leads to concrete porch steps flanked by brick pedestals. A prominent porch roof consisting of elaborately carved brackets supporting a classically inspired pediment shelters the paneled wood entry door. This is the conspicuous Colonial Revival style element of the house. Narrow wood-framed French doors are on either side of the entrance. A tripartite grouping of narrow wood-framed casement windows punctuates the projecting front gabled portion of the façade. On the secondary south elevation is a projecting side-gabled roof portion partially sheltered by the main roof. Its original wood window has been replaced with a small window terrarium. An adjacent exterior chimney that was originally of brick construction has been replaced with a stucco-finished version. As visible from the back alley and confirmed by Sanborn maps, the rear (west) elevation has been altered by a large addition. To the south of the addition, non-original sliding glass doors have been installed. Southwest of the house, a concrete driveway leads to a detached garage that appears to have been modified to function as a separate dwelling. Landscaping consists of a grass lawn, low shrubs, and a few trees. While cognizant of the protruding terrarium window and stucco-sheathed chimney replacement, as well as the rear alterations, the property exhibits a relatively high level of physical integrity. Building Permits. The original building permit dated February 10, 1923 identifies B.F. Kinsey as the owner. Jewett & Stout, with offices at 531 Santa Monica Boulevard, served as architect and builder. 1 According to the permit the 1,080 square foot house cost 1 H.L. Stout s role as the authorized distributor and builder of Pacific Ready Cut Homes in Santa Monica will be discussed later in this report. page 2

3 approximately $4000 to construct and consisted of five rooms on a 50 x 160 foot lot. Another building permit issued three months earlier on November 24, 1922 was for a 480 square foot garage costing approximately $450 built for owner Ben F. Kinsey. There are no other building permits on file. Statement of Architectural Significance Craftsman Bungalow/Colonial Revival Styles. The bungalow had its genesis in Southern California and was a very popular building type in Los Angeles newly developing suburban areas, including Santa Monica, during the first quarter of the twentieth century. Because of their relative economy, bungalows answered a growing need for affordable housing during the 1910s and 1920s. Ornate examples were commissioned for wealthy residents of suburban enclaves including Santa Monica and Pasadena. Square or rectangular in plan, cottages with one to one-and-one half stories and rectilinear porches typify the bungalow form. To this basic form, architects introduced elements of the Colonial Revival, Craftsman, Spanish, and even Japanese architectural styles to produce a unique building style. Simple, horizontal, and craft-oriented natural materials generally characterize the Craftsman style. Common elements of the style include low-pitched, cross-gabled roof forms; deep overhanging eaves; exposed roof beams and rafter tails; asymmetrical facades; battered (tapered) or square porch posts; rectangular shaped windows, often sash over sash; tripartite window groupings; shingle or clapboard siding; and simple wood frame surrounds. In addition to bungalows, the Craftsman style was applied to large single-family dwellings, duplexes, fourplexes, and other multi-family dwellings that were considerably larger than the term bungalow implies. By the late 1910s and into the 1920s, the Craftsman style was often melded with revival styles such as the American Colonial Revival. The Colonial Revival style resulted from the desire of architects and builders to evoke America s own past with a traditional building type. The restoration of Colonial Williamsburg in the 1920s added to its popularity. The name Colonial actually encompasses several styles, all loosely associated with the revival of American and Old World building traditions. Examples of the early American Colonial period include styles such as Federal/Adams, Georgian, and classical/neoclassical, as well as the shingle style, which was not common in Southern California. Common characteristics of this style include a simple rectangular volume, covered by gabled or hip roofs; symmetrical, balanced dispensing of windows and doors; surfacing of clapboard or brick; classical, colonial detailing such as columns, engaged piers, cornices, pediments, and shuttered windows; and double-hung, multi-paned windows. The Colonial Revival style was particularly popular in Santa Monica in the 1920s, both for large dwellings north of Montana Avenue and for smaller homes. The subject property is primarily Craftsman in style with its asymmetrical profile, lowpitched side-gabled roof, deep eaves, exposed rafter tails, carved bargeboards, and projecting beam ends. Its narrow clapboard siding and fenestration also express the Craftsman style. page 3

4 The dwelling s most prominent architectural feature is its Colonial Revival style pedimented porch roof with its elaborately carved brackets and entablature. As relates to architectural merit, the subject property has not been identified as historically or architecturally significant in the City s Historic Resources Inventory or in subsequent survey updates and evaluations. Most likely this is because the dwelling, while exhibiting a relatively high level of integrity as viewed from the public right-of-way, is not an especially noteworthy example of the Craftsman/Colonial Revival styles in comparison with the wealth of better, more representative Craftsman and Colonial Revival style houses throughout the City. While exhibiting character defining features of both styles, it is not a deft interpretation of either. In particular, the heavy, protruding porch roof while distinctive overwhelms the composition in relation to the diminutive house to which it is attached. As will be discussed below, this modest residence is one of a number of Pacific Ready-Cut homes in Santa Monica several of which appear to rise to a level of significance to warrant further review. Statement of Historical Importance 22 nd Street Between Montana Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard A review of Sanborn maps shows that 22 nd Street between Montana Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard was so devoid of improvements in 1918 that it did not warrant Sanborn coverage. Yet, the available Sanborn maps from the series depict 22 nd Street as almost entirely improved with dwellings. Tax assessor information confirms that a building boom occurred along 22 nd Street in the mid-1920s, particularly in the vicinity of the subject dwelling between Montana and Idaho avenues, which is consistent with the explosive growth of neighborhoods throughout Santa Monica and greater Los Angeles at that time. The subject dwelling was erected in 1923 as were a cluster of similarly modest homes built near the south end of the street toward Idaho Avenue. Pacific Ready Cut Homes In the first third of the twentieth century prior to the Great Depression the concept of kit homes had gained acceptance throughout the United States. A kit home consisted of all of the prefabricated parts necessary to construct a finished dwelling. Typically, the bundled components would be delivered via rail car in the vicinity of the job site. According to the book California s Kit Homes: A Reprint of the 1925 Pacific Ready-Cut Homes Catalog, a kit home included hardware, framing lumber, millwork, windows, doors, nails, roofing materials and more. Masonry, plaster and lath, plumbing and electrical equipment and furnaces were sold separately. This enabled homeowners to select fixtures that suited their individual needs and tastes. 2 2 Thornton, Rosemary & Dale Patrick Wolicki. California s Kit Homes: A Reprint of the 1925 Pacific Ready-Cut Homes Catalog. Alton, Illinois: Gentle Beam Publications, Page vii. page 4

5 There were a number of kit home manufacturers in the United States during the 1920s, including Sears and Roebuck, the Aladdin Company, and, in California, Pacific Ready-Cut Homes and California Ready-Cut Bungalow Company. Pacific Ready-Cut was established in 1919 with their manufacturing facility located in Vernon and their main offices and exhibition grounds at 1330 South Hill Street in Los Angeles. Their heyday was the building boom of the 1920s although the company survived until It is estimated that Pacific Ready-Cut was responsible for approximately 37,000 buildings throughout Southern California. As opposed to constructing the kit dwelling yourself, Pacific Ready-Cut provided a list of approved contractors who would erect the house for you. A Pacific Ready-Cut Homes Los Angeles Times advertisement from 1924 lists 50 authorized distributors and builders outside of Los Angeles city. 3 (See appendix). For Santa Monica, as identified in the ad, the local distributor/builder was H.L. Stout at 531 Santa Monica Boulevard. As noted above, the builder of record for the subject property as shown on the original building permit was Jewett & Stout of 531 Santa Monica Boulevard. In further confirming that the subject dwelling at nd Street was a Pacific Ready-Cut Home, the company s 1925 catalog depicts the exact same house as Style #385 (See appendix). Pacific Ready-Cut Homes in Santa Monica Identifying a Pacific Ready-Cut home is not always a straightforward process. Unless the building permit specifically indicates Pacific Ready-Cut as the architect/builder, or lists one of the company s authorized distributors or builders, such as Santa Monica s H.L. Stout, it can be difficult. Other than discovering uniquely stamped lumber in the dwelling s framing or finding original documentation, identifying Pacific Ready-Cut houses is often accomplished by comparing potential candidates with the hundreds of illustrations (identified as numbered styles) in the company s catalogs. Unfortunately, only the 1925 catalog with its 100+ depicted styles is readily available. The City of Santa Monica s Historic Resources Inventory Phases 1 and 2 (Phase 3 Final Report 5/94) includes a table listing the architect and/or builder for surveyed properties as found in building permit research. Seven indicate Pacific Ready-Cut and/or the builder Stout, or the teams of Jewett & Stout or Menzies & Stout (see appendix table). A February 19, 2010 landmark assessment report prepared for the City by PCR Services documents the Pacific Ready-Cut bungalow court at th Street that was subsequently designated as a Santa Monica Landmark. 4 The PCR report also identifies other Pacific Ready-Cut houses some of which were previously listed in the earlier Phase 3 Final Report from The firm of Kaplan Chen Kaplan provided the City with a report dated October 1, 2010 that 3 Los Angeles Times, Display Ad 120 No Title. July 27, Page D10. 4 PCR Services, Inc th Street: City Landmark Assessment and Evaluation Report, submitted to the City of Santa Monica Planning Division, February 19, page 5

6 identified the small dwelling at 430 Pico Boulevard (since demolished) as the product of Pacific Ready-Cut Homes. 5 The report also states that a building permit with Pacific Ready- Cut named as the architect was found for the house at 667 Marine. There are a number of potential Pacific Ready-Cut dwellings listed in the Kaplan Chen Kaplan report and more in an from David Kaplan to the City dated April 11, 2013 that are included in the table in the appendix. Building permit research was conducted for each of these properties with only a few definitively confirmed as being associated with the company. Therefore, it was necessary to compare potential candidates with the illustrated styles found in the available 1925 Pacific Ready Cut Homes catalog reprint mentioned previously. Utilizing the various methods of identification, the following dwellings remain excellent examples of Pacific Ready-Cut houses in Santa Monica exhibiting high levels of integrity as visible from the public right-of-way. A current photograph of each and a reprint of the catalog page associated with each style is included in the appendix th Street. A bungalow court with one Style #84 unit and two Style #44 units.

7 Other actual or potential Pacific Ready-Cut residences in Santa Monica that have been altered such that they no longer retain sufficient integrity for significance are included in the table for reference. In assessing the significance of the subject property as an example of a Pacific Ready-Cut home it is necessary to consider several factors. First, a grouping of three Pacific Ready-Cut houses arranged as a bungalow court located at th Street has been designated as a Santa Monica Landmark. The cluster demonstrated significance for its representation of the American Colonial Revival style, as a very good example of a working-class bungalow court, and as a highly intact and increasingly rare grouping of two styles of Pacific Ready- Cut homes. In contrast, the subject property is an unremarkable example of the Craftsman/Colonial Revival styles and is a single-family Pacific Ready-Cut dwelling versus the rarer bungalow court. Second, there are other excellent examples of Pacific Ready-Cut single-family homes in Santa Monica several of which are architecturally more compelling and exhibit higher levels of integrity than the subject property. The Craftsman style house at 908 California Avenue is one such example. Others include the English Revival style dwellings at 524 Lincoln Boulevard and 2028 Pearl Street, the Colonial Revival style houses at 1219 Arizona and 2210 Washington avenues, and the Tudor Revival style residence at th Street. Further research might lead to the conclusion that one or more of these properties would meet Santa Monica Landmark criteria as more architecturally distinctive examples of Pacific Ready-Cut homes.. The original building permit dated February, 1923 identifies Benjamin F. Kinsey as the owner with Jewett & Stout serving as architect/builder. Mr. Kinsey, who resided at the subject dwelling with his wife Annette R. (later spelled Annetta) was a baker with a business address of 1907 Santa Monica Boulevard. It appears that Mr. Kinsey had passed away by 1928 as only Mrs. Annetta R. Kinsey appeared as householder starting in that year. She continued to reside at the dwelling until at least 1936 when she shared the house with Harry L. and May P. Bauer. Mr. Bauer was a teacher (later a professor) at Santa Monica Junior College. In 1938, Ray Pendleton of Pendleton Feed & Fuel Company lived at the subject address. By 1940, physician T.L. Farris lived at the house. The city directory lists Mrs. Bertie L. Nolan, perhaps a widow, as householder. She was replaced by Leonard Siegel no occupation listed in From 1954 through at least 1961, Stanley W. Morse, an executive officer with the Boy Scouts of America, resided at nd Street with his wife Ethel, although she may have passed away by 1960 when her name disappeared from the listing. Overall, a broad mix of blue collar and white collar workers as well as widows occupied the subject dwelling for its first 38 years. page 7

8 CONCLUSION Based on current research and the above assessment, the property located at does not appear to meet the City of Santa Monica s Landmark criteria. Architecturally, the dwelling is a good but not excellent example of its style, a finding consistent with its not having been identified as a historic resource in any previous Santa Monica survey. As an example of a Pacific Ready-Cut prefabricated design, the subject property does not rise to the level of architectural merit or integrity represented in other Pacific Ready-Cut residences in the City, including those at th Street (a Santa Monica Landmark), 908 California Avenue, 524 Lincoln Boulevard, 2028 Pearl Street, th Street, and 1219 Arizona and 2210 Washington avenues. In summary, the subject property does not appear to be among the best examples of Pacific Ready-Cut homes to meet the high standards associated with Santa Monica Landmark status. The property was evaluated according to statutory criteria as follows: Landmark Criteria: (a)(1) It exemplifies, symbolizes, or manifests elements of the cultural, social, economic, political or architectural history of the City. The residence located at represents a good but not extraordinary example of the Craftsman architectural style with Colonial Revival influences. Notably, it has not been identified in any of the City s previous historic resources surveys suggesting that the house does not achieve a level of architectural merit to warrant special recognition. The singlefamily dwelling s most compelling attribute is as a fully realized example of a Pacific Ready- Cut home exhibiting a relatively high level of physical integrity. Yet, the subject property does not rise to the level of other documented Pacific Ready-Cut houses in architectural distinction or integrity such as those located at th Street (a Santa Monica Landmark), 908 California Avenue, 524 Lincoln Boulevard, 2028 Pearl Street, th Street, and 1219 Arizona and 2210 Washington avenues to warrant eligibility under this criterion (a)(2) It has aesthetic or artistic interest or value, or other noteworthy interest or value. The subject property does not appear to meet this criterion as it lacks the requisite aesthetic or artistic interest or value necessary for this designation (a)(3) It is identified with historic personages or with important events in local, state or national history. In concluding the background research for the subject property, it appears that only Dr. Harry L. Bauer of Santa Monica Junior College might be considered a notable figure in the community. However, it cannot be concluded that the subject residence is the property to page 9

9 which Dr. Bauer would be most closely identified given his mere two year tenancy at the address. As for the property s other owners and/or occupants, no other information was discovered to suggest historical significance or notability. Therefore, the subject property does not appear to satisfy this criterion (a)(4) It embodies distinguishing architectural characteristics valuable to a study of a period, style, method of construction, or the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship, or is a unique or rare example of an architectural design, detail or historical type valuable to such a study. The subject property is not an exceptional example of a Craftsman style house with Colonial Revival style elements. While exhibiting most of the character defining features of the Craftsman style as well as a porch roof pediment evocative of the Colonial Revival, the dwelling s design is awkward, particularly because the oversized pediment dwarfs the proportions of what is a modest, diminutive, working class house. As relates to the building s status as a Pacific Ready-Cut home, due to the presence of a non-original terrarium window and replacement stucco-sheathed chimney, the subject property does not exhibit the highest integrity versus others identified in Santa Monica. In sum, there are other Pacific Ready-Cut dwellings that better embody the distinguishing architectural characteristics of prefabricated housing valuable to a study of this method of construction. Therefore, the subject property does not meet this criterion (a)(5) It is a significant or a representative example of the work or product of a notable builder, designer or architect. Established in 1919, Pacific Ready-Cut Homes produced an estimated 37,000 buildings throughout Southern California, making it a notable builder during the building boom of the 1920s. However, the dwelling located at nd Street is not a significant or especially representative example of the company s work when compared with those located at th Street (a Santa Monica Landmark), 908 California Avenue, 524 Lincoln Boulevard, 2028 Pearl Street, and 2210 Washington avenues that exhibit higher levels of integrity and design excellence. As a result, the subject property does not meet this criterion (a)(6) It has a unique location, a singular physical characteristic, or is an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood, community or the City. The subject property does not appear to meet this criterion. page 10

10 Person(s) of Historical Importance Current research indicates that Dr. Harry L. Bauer was a noted professor of biology at Santa Monica Junior College (later known as Santa Monica College). However, it appears that he and his wife lived at the subject residence as tenants for at most two years from Further, it is likely that any building(s) associated with Dr. Bauer that conveyed his historical significance would be located at the college versus this short term residence. No evidence was uncovered during the current survey process suggesting that any of the property s other owners or residents were persons of historical importance to the City of Santa Monica. Statement of other significance No evidence was discovered in current research of the property that indicates other significance. Is the structure representative of a style in the City that is no longer prevalent? The subject property represents an unexceptional example of a Craftsman style dwelling with Colonial Revival style influences in Santa Monica that is neither rare nor uncommon. However, its association with Pacific Ready-Cut Homes puts the house in a special category of prefabricated kit houses of which only a relatively small number have been positively identified in the City. Does the structure contribute to a potential historic district? The subject property has not been previously identified in the City s Historic Resources Inventory or in subsequent survey updates and evaluations as being a contributor to a potential historic district within the City. Although at least five houses in the 800 and 900 blocks of 22 nd Street exhibiting high integrity may be Pacific Ready-Cut homes, neither the company nor any of the company s authorized builders were listed in the respective building permits. 6 In addition, definitive identification of these houses utilizing the 1925 Pacific Ready-Cut catalog proved unsuccessful. As a result, it does not appear that a sufficient concentration of Pacific Ready-Cut homes could be conclusively identified along these two blocks of 22 nd Street to suggest the viability of a potential historic district , 912, 933, 937 and nd Street. page 8
