UBJECT: Focused Cultural Resources Survey – Historic Resources Assessment for the Wood & Lurin Project, Riverside, Riverside County, California D
ear Mr. Krout,
JM Rese arch & Consulting (JMRC) completed a focused Cultural Resources Survey – H istoric Resources Assessment (HRA) of 16725 Dant Street (APN 266-130-016) in the City of Riverside, Riverside County for the proposed Wood & Lu rin Project, which proposes construction of 96 single-family residences, a common open space area, and associated infrastructure on a 18.925-acre site.

T
he survey was requested by EPD Solutions ba sed on the results of a Phase I -level Cultural Resources study, including archaeological investigation, completed by Material Culture Consultants in March 2021 (MCC 2021), which identified a single-family residence (1927) on the southeast corner of the project area that is proposed for de molition under the proposed project .

Therefore, this HRA acts as a companion study to the MCC 2021 report to complete the Cultural Resources investigation as part of the environmental review process in compliance with C EQA (PRC §21000, et seq.) to evaluate the property for significance an d eligibility for historic designation and to analyze potential impacts of the proposed project.

Je
nnifer Mermilliod, M.A., Principal Historian/Architectural Historian, JMRC, who exceeds the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards , acted as Principal Historic Consultant and managed the study, which included consultation, coordin ation, and com pliance applicable and relevant to cultural resources planning ( see resume, Attachment B). T he intensive- level survey was conducted in April 2021 and included fie ld surv ey and historic and building specific research to su pplement the work performed by MCC in accordance wit h CEQA Guidelines. Research and review of source material included previous cultural resources studies and reports, Riverside County property records, tract and assessor maps, and historic newspapers,

and historic aerial photographs. Historic assessment records were also research ed, although some books were unable to be accessed due to COVID- related clo sures and scheduled materials conservation. As this property was recently formerly within t he unincorporated area of Riverside County, typical historic sources such as city directories, and Sanborn maps, were searched but did not provide additional information, and no building permits were found on file with either the city or county of Riverside.

Historic aerials show that the Project Area was part of the 10.09- acre Lot 10 and under agricultural development from at least 1948 to the late -1970s. Historic Riverside County assessment records available for review (1936 -1963) reveal the early , and l ikely original, owner of the parcel was Frank Dant (1936). The still-dirt road, Dant Street, was carved north-south down the center of the Lot bet ween Krameria and Lurin Avenues , and the main but small ranch property, which was owned by Frank Dant from 1936 to 1959, was located just to the east across Dant Street on 2.5 acres. The Dant Ranch House is still extant, though altered, at 16698 Dant Street (P33-007826).

Although the Project Area was part of the holdings of the ranching family, some of the Dant clan lived and ranched in the Woodcrest area, and others owned ranch property here, but lived in nearby towns, including Riv erside. The formerly 10.09-acre Lot 10 was quickly subdivided into five parcels (by 1936), and all but the main ranch property was only held briefly by one of the Dant clan, including Frank, Orville, Bryan, and G ertrude. In the 1950s, Albert and Aileen Wils on purchased all but the northeast quarter of the pa rcel. By 1966, the parcel was further subdivided, more by 1978, and developed with additional single-family residences still in a rural setting in the northwest, northeast, and eastern portions of the property.

Although the heyday for citriculture in Riverside, vicinity, and southern California in general came to a swift close in the immediate post- WWII period with the wholesale subdivision of former groves for suburban residential and commercial development, the remaining acreage of Lot 10 was first planted to citrus at this time. New groves appear on adjacent properties on the 1966 historic aerial and within the Project Area by 1978. This anomaly was not part of the local or regional era of citriculture but part of a private citrus cooperative project. Known as the Woodcrest Acres Citrus Project of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latte r-day Saints, the project constituted the largest single planting of citrus in California in many years and blanketed the once barren hil ls on either side of Van Buren Boulevard from March Air Force Base to Wood Road, and then further to Gamble Avenue on the south side of Van Buren, with rows of citrus – half navel and half Valencia oranges – 160 trees to an acre. The project employed jobless and needy church members and began in 1964 with the planting of 400 acres. An additional 400 acres were planted the following year, 40 more in 1966, and an additional 600 acres in 1972. In 1968, 4,000 boxes were harvested from the Woodcrest Acres Projec t, providing fresh frui t and juice or the church and selling the surplus throughout the west. The seemingly successful but relatively short-lived project saw the removal of many groves in the followi ng decades, and by the early 1990s, the Project Area had been cleared and disked and remains today a primarily dirt lot.

The setting has been somewhat compromised by the reduction of the property from approximately 10 acres to 4.52 acres and adjacent subdivision an d improvements of its f ormer acreage. Although

part of the small -scale agricultural development of the Woodcrest area, the reduced and compromised property is not strongly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patter ns of our national or state history or with significant persons in our past (NR/CR Criteria A,B/1,2); does not embody dist inctive characteristics of a type, period, or represent the work of a master or possess high artistic value (NR/CR C/3); and has not yielded, or is likely to yield, further information important in history or prehistory (NR/CR Criteria D/4).

Alterations have significantly compromised its integrity and redefined its design, the quality of which lacks architectural distinction, and importa nt associatio ns have no t been established, precluding eligibility for local designation under any of the criteria in Ti tle 20 of the Riverside Municipal Code. As the property does not appear to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NR), or California Register of Historical Resources (CR), or designation at the local level and is assigned a California Historic Resources (CHR) code of 6Z – Found ineligible for NR, CR, or Local designation through survey evaluation. The property was fully doc umented on California Department of Parks and Recreation DPR forms (attached).

The results of this focused study indicate that no further historic investigation is recommended. As the property has been found ineligible for designation, the p roperty is no t considered a historic resource under C EQA, and demolition under the proposed Wood & Lurin P roject would not constitute an impact under CEQA. No mitigation measures are recommended.

The wood-framed, one-story building is rectangular in plan with multiple alterations and modifications and appears to rest on a combination raised and s lab con crete foundation. The low -pitched, side -gabled roof covered with a combination of gray rolled roofing and brown composition shingles ends in moderate, boxed eaves over walls clad in a mixed -width horizontal boards – wide, flush boards on the ea st, medium-width clapboard on the south, and narrow clapboard on the north. Fenestration includes aluminum -framed, sliding windows of mixed age trimmed with broad flat boards and possibly a fixed or casement window on the south end a nd one visible double-hung window on the east elevation. A former entry porch is enclosed and topped by a shed roof extension of the side gable eave, and what a ppears to now be a north-facing entry door is partially hidden by a wood picket fence. The property is covered with natural vegetation, an original garage is no longer e xtant, a small wo od or metal shed is found to the north amid construction and household debris, and the building is shaded by one mature tree. The residence is in poor condition, has been extensively altered, and retains no integrity.

*B10. Significance:

Initially subdivided as the Woodcrest Acres (1924) tract from sectional lands owned by Riverside County, this area known gene rally as Woodcrest, which is now within Riverside city limits, was under agricultural development at least throughout the first hal f of in the 20th century. Woodcrest Acres was subdivided by Ben H. Reutepohler and W.W. Wilson, of which little is found or known. Historic ae rials show that the Project Area was part of the 10.09 -acre Lot 10 and under agricultural development from at leas t 1948 to the late -1970s. Historic Riverside County assessment records available for review (1936 -1963) reveal the early, and likely original, owner of the parcel was Frank Dant (1936). The still-dirt road, Dant Street, was carved north -south down the center of the Lot between Krameria and Lurin Avenues, and the main but small ranch property, which was owned by Frank Dant from 1936 to 1959, was located just to the east across Dant Street on 2.5 acres. The Dant Ranch House is still extant, though altered, at 16698 Dant Street (P33-007826).

Although the Project Area was part of the holdings of the ranching family, some of the Dant clan lived and ranched in the Woo dcrest area, and others owned ranch property here, but lived in nearby towns, including Riverside. The formerly 10.09-acre Lot 10 was quickly subdivided into five parcels (by 1936), and all but the main ranch property was only held briefly by one of the Dant clan, including Frank, O rville, Bryan, and Gertrude. In th e 1950s, Albert and Aileen Wilson purchased all but the northeast quarter of the parcel. By 1966, the parcel was further subdivided, more by 1978, and developed with additional single -family residences still in a rural setting in the northwest, northeast, and eastern portions of the property.

This anomaly was not part of the local or regional era of citriculture but part of a private citrus cooperative project. Known as the Woodcrest Acres Citrus Project of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints, the project constituted the largest single planting of citrus in California in many years and blanketed the once barren hills on either side of Van Buren Boulevard from March Air Force Base to Wood Road, and then further to Gamble Avenue on the south side of Van Buren, with rows of citrus – half navel and half Valencia oranges – 160 trees to an acre. The project employed jobless and needy church members and began in 1964 with the planting of 400 acres. An additional 400 acres were planted the following year, 40 more in 1966, and an additional 600 acres in 1972. In 1968, 4,000 boxes w ere harvested from the Woodcrest Acres Project, providing fresh fruit and juice or the church and selling the surplus throughout the west. The seemingly successful but relat ively short-lived project saw the removal of many groves in the following decades, and by the early 1990s, the Project Area had been cleared and disked and remains today a primarily dirt lot.

The single-family residence at 16725 Dant Street, which was associated with Frank Dant for only about a decade (1936 -1947), is of common design an d has been extensively modified by the enclosure of the front porch and inappropriate repair, replacement, or modification of character-defining features, including windows and window openings, main entry, eaves, and wall cladding. The setting has been som ewhat compromised by the reduction of the property from approximately 10 acres to 4.52 acres and adjacent subdivision and improveme nts of its former acreage. Although part of the small -scale agricultural development of the Woodcrest area, the reduced and compromised property is not strongly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our national or state hist ory or with significant persons in our past (NR/CR Criteria A,B/1,2); does not embody distinctive charac teristics of a type, period, or represent the work of a master or possess high artistic value (NR/CR C/3); and has not yielded, or is likely to yield, further information important in history or prehistory (NR/CR Criteria D/4). Alterations have significant ly compromised its integrity and redefined its design, the quality of which lacks architectural distinction, and important associations have not been established, precluding eligibility for local designation under any of the criteria in Title 20 of the Riverside Municipal Code. As the property does not appear to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NR), or California Register of Historical Resources (CR), or designation at the local level and is assigned a California Historic Resources (CHR) code of 6Z – Found ineligible for NR, CR, or Local designation through survey evaluation.
