The house at 1514 Clay Street was constructed circa 1905. Sanb orn Fire Insurance maps show that the property’s address changed: it was 334 Clay Street in 1910, and was changed to 1514 Clay Street by 1924. At the time of its construction, 1514 Cla y
Street was located on a block with other
similarly-sized residences, but it has since been enveloped by large scale, modern commercial infill construction.
The earliest known owner of the property was Samuel E. Gordon, a r eal estate investory, who bought it from Napa County Title Co .
in 1948. In 1978, Gordon sold the property to Henry S. Guerrero.
In 1983, the property transferred to Guerrero Mortuary Chapel,
with headquarters in San Leandro, CA.
According to City Directories, the property appears to have been a single-family residence until 1942 when it was converted to two
flats. Larry Skivington, an electrician, and his wife Betty liv ed in one of the flats from 1949
to 1975. Other tenants included
Edward
Jones, a book keeper in 1959; David and Charlotte Dyreng, a st udent and Assistant at Napa County-
City Public Library in 1967;
and Mark and Jackie Shadle, a teacher at Napa Valley Day School in 1986. The building is still in use as two flats today.

B10. Significance (cont.):
Evaluation
NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1/a
Constructed circa 1905, the house at 1514 Cl
ay Street does not appear to be significan
t for association with events important t
o
the broad patterns of history. The building is located in down town Napa, which has always been primarily commercial in nature, although the commercial core is surrounded by largely resident ial neighborhoods. This residential building is not associated wi th
the growth of downtown as a commercial center. It plays a part in the general growth and developm
ent of the area, however it do
es
not have sufficient or specific associations
with these trends to set it apart as si
gnificant. Therefore,
1514 Clay Street does
not
appear to be eligible under N
RHP/CRHR Criterion A/1/a.
NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2/b
The house at 1514 Clay Street does not appear to be eligible for Criterion B/2/b for association with the lives of persons sign
ificant
to the history of Napa. Samuel Gordon, a prominent real estate in vestor in Napa, was associated with the property, however, his
connection to the property was for investment purposes and he is not closely associated with the property such that would warra nt
significance under this criterion. During much of the building' s history, it was a single family residence occupied or owned by
various working-class families, but there is no indication that an y of the occupants made signific
ant contributions or were oth
erwise
important to Napa's history. Therefore, the property does not have si gnificance under Criterion B/2/b.
NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3/c, d, e
The house at 1514 Clay Street exhibits simple, vernacular bung alow styling. It is a good example of a modestly-sized worker’s cottage, and although it has high physical in
tegrity, it is not an individually outstand
ing example of a type, period, style, or method
of construction, and other examples exist throughout the city. Re search did not reveal the archit
ect or builder of the house,
and
ultimately, it lacks sufficient architectural
distinction to qualify under Criterion C/3/c,
d, e, nor does it appear to contrib
ute to any
potential historic district of similar buildings.
NRHP/CRHR Criterion D/4
Archival research provided no indication that the building has the potential to yield information
important to the prehistory o
r history
of Napa, California, or the nation. T
herefore, it does not appear to be elig
ible for listing under Criterion D/4.
Integrity
The house at 1514 Clay Street retains its original use as a resid ence. Therefore, its
integrity of association with residential
development themes is strong. The building has never been moved a nd, so, has strong integrity of location. When constructed, the building was located within an early residential neighborhood. The building's surroundings have changed over the years, wit h
adjacent residences converted to commercial use and the construc tion of commercial infill properties, and so the property's setting no longer retains integrity. The building has been minima lly altered; therefore its int
egrity of design, materials and
workmanship is strong. Integrity
of feeling is supported by the fact that the property is still recognizable as an early twenti eth-
century residence. Overall, the building retains historic integrity.
Conclusion
1514 Clay Street does not appear eligible for listing in the nati onal, state, or local register
s under any criteria, and has th
erefore
been assigned a California Historical Resource Status Code of 6Z
(ineligible for National, California or local designation through survey evaluation).

Construction History
: (continued
)
Primary Building
Two permits on file at the City of Napa Building Department
are relevant to the primary building after 2011. In 2013 multiple exterior windows were replaced with vinyl windows, and in 2018 the building was reroofed. 1 No additional alterations were observed to the
primary building since 2011.
Rear Building
The rear building was constructed ca. 1945. One permit on file at the City of Napa Building Department is relevant to the rea r
building, for a reroofing project in 2008.
2 Additional
alterations to the
rear building
based on visual observations
include
replacement windows and doors on the
west, south,
and east façades
.

Ownership and Occupancy
Research did not uncover any new information on the ownership or occupancy of the primary building since 2011.
The rear
building, built ca. 1945,
shares its ownership history with the primary building as they are on the same parcel .
Table 2
, below,
shows all occupants of the rear building uncovered through research , using
online archives
such as
Ancestry.com and
Newspapers.com.
Eligibility Update
of the Primary Building
1514 Clay Street
is not currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) or the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register).
1514 Clay Street is currently listed in the Napa County Historic Resources Inventory as an
LLM (Local Landmark) and HRI
-
3 (Map Score 3).
The building does not appear in the California Built Environment Resource Directory (BERD)
for Napa County
as of 202
3 , indicating that no record of a previous survey or evaluation is on file
that is
affiliated
wi
th the State of California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP).
In 2011, the property was evaluated by
Page & Turnbull
as part of
the Downtown
Napa
Historic Resources Survey
.
The p
revious
2011
evaluation of
1514 Clay Street
found that
the building
did not appear eligible for listing
on
national, state, or
local registers under any criteria
.
This DPR
u
pdate
confirms the previous 2011 findings that the
primary
building
does not appear eligible for listing in national, state, or local registers under any criteria.
Additionally, the
integrity
of the primary building
is
more
impaired
than in 2011 due to the
replacement of original windows
with vinyl windows in 2013
.

Evaluation of the Rear Building
In order for
a property to be considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) ,
the California
Register of Historical Resources (California Register), and
/or eligible as a
Napa County
Landmark
,
the property must possess
significance and retain integrity to convey that significance.
Criterion A/1
/1
(Events)
The rear building at
1514 Clay Street
does
not
appear
to be individually eligible
under
Criterion
A/
1 /1
(Events) for its association
with any events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural
heritage of
California or the United States.
Research did not indicate that any events significant to local, state, or national history took place at the property.
The rear building at 1514 Clay Street
was
built
ca. 1945 ,
well after the construction of the primary building and after the peak of development of the surrounding neighborhood.
It is not itsel
f especially representative of any housing trends during the mid
-
twentieth century
.
Therefore,
the rear building at
1514 Clay Street
is
not
eligible for listing on
national, state, or local registers
under Criterion A/1
/1
.
Criterion B/2
/2
(Persons)
The rear building at 1514 Clay Street
does
not
appear
to be individually eligible
under
Criterion

(Persons)
as a property
associated with the life of a person important to local, state, or national history. Research did not indicate that any of th e individuals
occupying
the
rear building
made significant contributions to local, state, or national history through their careers or personal lives.
The occupants of the rear building were short
-
term tenants with a variety of occupations
.
.
Therefore,
the rear building at
1514 Clay Street
is
not
eligible for listing on
national, state, or local registers
under Criterion B/2/2.
Criterion C/3
/3
(Architecture)
The rear building at 1514 Clay Street
does not
appear
to be individually
eligible
under
Criterion
C/
3 /3
(Architecture).
The rear
building was built
ca. 1945
as a
small
vernacular cottage
with minimal ornamentation
. As such, the subject property does not
express the
distinctive
qualities of
any particular
architectural
style to a degree that rises to the level of
local,
state
,
or national
significance. In additio
n,
research did not indicate that the building is the work of a
noted architect or builder.
Therefore,

not
eligible for listing
on national, state, or local registers
under Criterion C/3
/3
.

as a
building or property that has the potential to provide information important to the prehistory or history of the City of Napa
, state, or
nation.
The "potential to yield information important to the prehistory or history of California" typically relates to archeological resources, rather than built resources. When

does relate to built resources, it is relevant for cases when the building itself is the principal source of important construction -
related informatio
n.
The subject property
does not feature construction or
material types, or embody engineering practices that would, with additional study, provide important information. Evaluation of this
property was limited to age
-
eligible resources above ground and did not involve survey or
evaluation of the subject property for the
purposes of archaeological information.
