The subject property is a 3,562 square foot lot located on the north side of Lexington Street between Washington Street and Main Street. Constructed in 1935, the existing residence on the property is a 546 square-foot, one-story house designed in the side-gabled roof (commonly called Cape Cod) subtype of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. The property has a detached garage that appears to have been constructed at the same time as the residence. Shortly after construction, the home was altered by the addition of a small side-gable-roofed wing at the rear of the east side-elevation. However, the early addition of a small wing was a common occurrence for the Cape Cod architectural style and has no effect on its integrity.
A requirement of the Mills Act Contract is that the building must be a qualified structure, listed on either a local, State, or National register. Property owners must also demonstrate a plan to restore and rehabilitate the property. The property owners submitted the requisite application, including a historic survey (DPR 523A Form) of the property to determine eligibility to the Historic Resources Inventory (HRI), Statement of Justification for the request, and a 10-Year Restoration and Maintenance Plan for evaluation of the proposed workplan to restore, rehabilitate, and maintain the property. The Mills Act Contract with 10-Year Restoration and Maintenance Plan and supporting documents were made part of the Historical and Landmarks Commission (HLC) staff report, included here as Attachments 1 and 2 respectively, and reviewed at the June 1, 2023 HLC meeting.
Following review of the application, staff report and public testimony, the HLC unanimously recommended that the City Council approve the addition of 1053 Lexington Street to the City’s HRI, approve the Mills Act Contract, and adopt the 10-Year Restoration and Maintenance Plan for the subject property. An excerpt of the draft Minutes of the June 1, 2023 HLC meeting is provided as Attachment 3.
DISCUSSION
The purpose of the Mills Act Contract is to offer owner(s) of historically significant properties an economic incentive to maintain and preserve the historical physical integrity of their properties, which thereby also increases the aesthetic and economic health of the surrounding neighborhood and the City. A 10-Year Restoration and Maintenance Plan is required to document specific maintenance and City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 8/18/2023

preservation activities proposed to be undertaken by the property owners for the contract period in exchange for property tax reduction (discussed later in this report). Inspections by City staff occur pursuant to the Mills Act Contract to ensure compliance and progress is made.
The Council established a process for evaluating Mills Act Contract requests on September 4, 1993 (Resolution No. 5843), that set a limit of five contracts per year. In 2004, the City Council increased the number of allowable contracts to 10 per year. If approved, the subject property would be the first for 2023 and within the City’s allowed number of 10 contracts for 2023.
The historic survey prepared for the property details the criteria for evaluation and listing of a potentially historic resource and concludes that the property is eligible for listing on the City’s HRI based on cultural, architectural, and geographic criteria. The property owner’s Statement of Justification along with the 10-Year Restoration and Maintenance Plan demonstrate the property owner’s intent to invest in the subject property consistent with the purpose of Mills Act Contracts.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Mills Act program is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA Guidelines (Historical Resource Restoration / Rehabilitation). This exemption consists of projects limited to maintenance, repair, stabilization, rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, conservation or reconstruction of historical resources in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (“SOI Standards”). The Project will result in the restoration and rehabilitation of the 1935 structure consistent with the SOI Standards.
FISCAL IMPACT
The amount of the property tax reduction depends upon the property, location, size, and comparable properties in the area. Currently, the assessed value of the property is approximately $482,760 (6/30/2023 information) and the annual property tax is approximately $5,718 (2022/23 value) (Source: Santa Clara County Assessor’s Office). The City receives approximately 10% of the base property tax. The Mills Act Contract tax reduction is based on an income capitalization method (ICM) calculation based on the average monthly rent, average maintenance costs, and an amortization schedule to arrive at a reduced appraisal value resulting in lower property taxes. The anticipated tax reduction would be 20% to 70% based on the County’s evaluation of the property’s age, condition, and local market value factors in accordance with the formula set by state law. Based on the latest information available, the estimated annual fiscal impact to the City for this individual Mills Act Contract would be a decrease of property tax revenue in the range of $114 to $400. The actual future fiscal impact may be greater due to the reassessment of property value by the County upon transfer of ownership.
This is the first Mills Act contract request in 2023.

Mills Act Historic Property Contract Application
Statement of Justification for Mills Act Historic Property Designation and Reassessment When I went looking for a house to call my own, I only looked at two houses. The first was at 750 Park Ct. Santa Clara. But with layoffs looming at my company, unfortunately, I had to let it slip away. As the economic outlook stabilized, I kept my radar on, uninspired by nearly everything offered until 1053 Lexington came on the market.
Two is an insanely low number of homes to see before you commit to the biggest purchase of your life.
But the truth of the matter was that I could not see myself in anything else otherwise void of the character endowed with a pre-WWII home.
The icing on top of the cake was the nearly unadulterated state of the house that befalls so many of the century homes in the Bay Area. Original double-hung wood windows, tear-drop siding, even the built-in ironing board!
1053 Lexington is a small, unassuming one-bedroom cottage, but she packs a lot of beauty in her 500 square feet. Having her designated a Mills Act Historic Property and provided property tax relief through reassessment will allow me to maintain the house in all her simple glory so that she may live another 100 years.

North side of Lexington Street between Washington and Main Streets *P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) 1053 Lexington Street is located in the urban setting of a block of houses that was primarily developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. An L-shaped block, bordered by Homestead Road (Liberty Street), Washington, Lexington and Main Streets, this is one of the four L-shaped blocks, which surround the open space of Plaza Park, the City of Santa Clara 's original public park. Road alterations, both on the Homestead (Liberty) roadway and tha1 surrounding the park, which resulted from Urban Redevelopment, along with the differing periods of time at which development on each lot occurred, have resulted in construction on each property exhibiting various setbacks from the street and lots that vary in width from 37. 5' to 101' and with depths that range from 152' x 71. 25.'

The specific property on which this residence is located was originally a 152' x 50' centrally located lot that ran from Homestead Road (Liberty Street) to Lexington Street. The original house on the lot, 1054 Homestead Road, was constructed near the northern end of lot and faced Liberty Street (Homestead.) A few years later when the subject house at 1053 Lexington Street was built, it was sited at the south end of the lot facing Lexington Street. In 2001 , the original large lot was officially split into 2 separate small parcels so that currently 1053 Lexington Street is located on an individual 50' x 71.25' lot.
Since the 1960s, the block's northern portion that fronts on Homestead has been altered, including the widening and name change of the street from Liberty Street to Homestead Road. However, the remaining sides of the block have only suffered minimal change. With the exception of the two rows of apartment buildings on the lot at the corner of Lexington and Main Streets, which were built in the 1940s, all of the buildings on the portion of the northern Lexington Street block face that runs from Washington to Main Streets were mainly constructed from 1914 to circa 1935. The maintenance of the historic integrity of this Lexington Street's block face and the street's location directly across from the historic park, result in the streetscape being a pleasant one, which evokes the sense of a neighborhood from the second quarter of the twentieth century.
Constructed circa 1935, the primary building on the site is a 546 sq. ft., one-story house, designed in the side-gabled roof (commonly called Cape Cod) subtype of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. Set on its current small 3,562 sq. ft. lot, the house fronts roughly south onto Lexington Street and is set back from the street allowing for an open landscaped area with a cultivated lawn , planting beds with ornamental shrubbery and a large shade tree, which is adjacent to the fence on the west property line. The house is offset on its lot creating a small west side-yard and a relatively large east side-yard. A high wood fence, which runs from the front sidewalk down the site's west side, across the rear to a narrow east side fence that attaches close to the NE rear corner of a detached garage, defines the western, northern and eastern property lines.
A straight, red brick walkway leads from the front sidewalk to the front porch and main entry. A second brick walkway from the sidewalk, located between the garage and the eastern edge of the front lawn, leads to a high wooden gated fence. Situated between the juncture of the house front and east side elevation and the west side elevation of the garage, this fence secures access to home's ..------------------------------------, side entry and rear yard. A second fence between Supplemental Photograph or Drawing the house and the high wooden fence located on the west side-property line, also secures access to
the rear of the property The rear of the property
includes open lawn area, planting beds and large
trees. Opening onto Lexington Street, a wide
driveway, finished with concrete, is located on the
east side of the lot. The driveway ends at a
detached garage.
Set on a concrete foundation, with only a crawl
space to slightly elevate it, the plan of this small,
single-family residence is rectangular with simple
compact massing and a symmetrical appearance.
It has a low-pitched, side-gabled roof with a
shallow eave overhang. The eaves of the main
body of the house are unenclosed, however the
rake eaves are closed. All the eaves are trimmed
with plain boards (a character-defining feature).
The roof is sheathed with composition shingles.

A small side-gable-roofed wing, which was added a few years after the original construction, projects from the rear of the building's east side-elevation. The addition of a small wing was a common occurrence for this architectural style. The home's single story, plan, massing and rodf style are characteristic features of the Cape Cod sub-type of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. (Note: A high narrow, shallow, shed-like projection on the rear far;ade is not part of the habitable space. At some point, it was constructed to house the home's water heater.)
This home is clad with horizontal, narrow, wood clapboard siding, the most common sheathing used for this style. Also characteristic of this style is the lack of exterior decorative detailing, so that characteristically the front far;ade has very little ornamentation; that being only a centered front door with an evenly spaced window on either side of the door, such as found in the subject property. A large, wood-louvered attic vent ( original) is set under the apex of each of the main body's west and east facing gabled roofs along with that of the small front-facing gabled entrance porch. Each attic vent is framed with wide plain boards. Set into the side and rear elevations, are wood framed ground-level openings (original.) Metal mesh covers each opening. These provide ventilation to the crawl space under the house.
According to McAlester, the predominant characteristic of this architectural style is a front facing gable, either as a small wing or an entry detail. This home exhibits that characteristic in its small, front-facing gabled entry porch, which is slightly off-centered on the front facade and projects from the house. The front and sides of the porch are unenclosed and at its front corners, the porch roof rests on turned columns, instead of the square columns that were the common style used for Cape Cod residences. (It is believed this resulted from the of use of columns salvaged from Louis M. Fatjo's home, following its early remodel by a new owner.) The main entrance is on the front (south) far;ade. It is accessed by 1 (one) full-width, concrete step that leads to the open small concrete porch. The front (main) door, is wood framed. Set into the top third of the door is a rectangular window with 6 panes (2 rows of 3 panes per row) divided by muntins, with two vertically orientated wood panels set into the bottom half of the door. (The door is not original it has replaced another door that itself replaced the original one. However, it is compatible with this architectural style where the first replacement door was not.) The entry door is centered on the porch, a character defining feature of the Cape Cod sub-type of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. It is framed with plain wide boards and has a narrow projecting threshold, also characteristic of this style.
Two secondary entrances provide access into the house from the east side-elevation. One door is centered on the east side-elevation of the main body of the home. This secondary entry door is a Stanley door (metal encasing the core) with two vertically orientated panels set into in the bottom half and a rectangular window with an inset "plastic" divider, which gives the appearance of 9 panes (3 rows of 3 panes per row) separated by muntins) set into its top half Another secondary entrance is provided by an identical door set into the south side-elevation of the small projecting wing. Both entry doors are also trimmed with wide wood boards however, unlike the main front entry door, neither have a projecting threshold. Both secondary entry doors are not original. Each has replaced the original one. Access to both side doors is off of a raised wooden deck (new), which is accessed by 3 wooden steps, one set inside the east side gate, and a similar set of steps from the rear yard. The deck fills the space between the main body of the house and its projecting wing and the detached garage. "
Another character-defining feature of this home is its windows, which are typical in form to those of the Cape Cod sub-type of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. Fenestration is simple and consists of mix of vertically-oriented and square windows. All of the home's windows are wood-framed, one-over-1me double hung windows with projecting sills and aprons and all are original. On the front far;ade, there are two large, vertically-orientated, one-over-one double-hung windows. Each is located, evenly spaced on either side of the front entry door; a main character-defining feature of this architectural style. On the east side-elevation of the main body of the house, a large vertically-oriented window is set near the front and, near the rear, a medium-sized square window is set between the side entry door and the small projecting wing. Centered on the east elevation of the wing is a large square window. The rear facade has a medium-sized, square window set near the corner formed by the wing (between the corner and water heater structure), followed by a smaller square window and then a large vertically-orientated window set near the convergence of the rear far;ade and the west side-elevation. On the west side-elevation, fenestration consists of a large vertically-orientated window near the rear, followed by a pair of large vertically-orientated windows set near the front. With the exception of this sole pair, all the home's windows are single windows.

Set close to the east side property line is the one-car, detached garage. It has a rectangular footprint and a hipped roof sheathed in composition shingles. Plain boards trim the roof's eaves. The wal/s are clad with horizontal, narrow, wood clapboard siding with the exception of the1garage's east side-wall, which is clad in wide shiplap siding. Located on the front (Lexington Street) elevation of this structure is the wooden garage door (not original). It is a single door, with three panels, and has a decorative pattern of two sets of horizontal, 6-paned windows, set above four solid horizontal panels. The door opens with an automatic garage door opener and was instal/ed in 2020. Located adjacent to the rear of its east side-elevation is a man-door, which is similar to those of the home 's secondary entry doors and like those, this door is not original. Centered in the rear far;ade is a large, wood-framed vertical/y-orientated, one-over-one double-hung window, with a projecting sil/ and apron. Like those of the home, it is trimmed with wide flat boards and is original. This window al/ows light into the garage interior. The garage was also constructed circa 1935, concurrent with the subject residence.
A few years after it was constructed, the original circa 1935 house was slightly altered by the addition of the small side-gable-roofed wing, which was added to the rear of the east side-elevation. However, the early addition of a small wing was a common occurrence for the Cape Cod architectural style and has no effect on its integrity. Except for the replacement of the doors, there have been no exterior changes to the character-defining materials and workmanship from the time of the subject property's original construction. The majority of the original house and al/ of its primary character-defining features can still be identified. The property has been well maintained and is in good condition.

The parcel located at 1053 Lexington Street is a portion of a larger parcel that had originally been identified as Lot 3 of Block 2 South, Range 1 West, of the original survey of the City of Santa' Clara. This survey was done July 1866 by J. J. Bowen and recorded on August 22 of that same year. (It is this survey that forms the basis for the part of Santa Clara known as the "Old Quad.) As shown in J. J. Bowen's survey, in 1866 the L-shaped block framed by Liberty (Homestead), Washington, Lexington and Main Streets, was subdivided into eight lots and Lot 3, the largest of the eight lots, encompassed the northwestern corner of the block. According to the list of property owners and their improvements, which accompanied the 1866 survey, Lot 3 was a 31881 sq. ft. tract, which was owned by Guilford Seaver and contained a frame house and smith shop. While the exact locations of the house and shop on the lot are unknown, it is more than likely that the house was at the corner of Main and Liberty. According to the 1868 Poll List for Santa Clara, Guilford Lyman Seaver and his son, Daniel Whitney Seaver, both carriage makers by occupation, are shown on as having their residence at that location.

The Plat of Santa Clara, drawn in the period between 1873 and 1875, shows no change in the configuration of the block that had been surveyed nine years earlier.
I
As shown on the December 1892, Map of Santa Clara, drawn by C. E. Moore, the City Surveyor, by now the block consisted of 10 lots.
Lot 3 was smaller than originally. (The part of this lot that was contiguous to Lot 2 was now owned by Wm. Fleury, an undertaker, who also owned the original Lot 2.) The owner of Lot 3 is shown to be Louis (Luis) M. Faljo. In 1884, Louis M. Faljo had married Elisa Raventos (the sister of his brother John 's wife, Teresa) and by the end of November 1885, Louis and Elisa's first child, Anita, had been born. Then, two years later, in 1887, Louis M. Faljo purchased the Lot 3 parcel from John West for $2,100. Located on the northwest corner of Lot 3, the home and it all of the out-buildings on the property are shown on the 1887 Sanborn Fire Insurance map.
According to the 1900 census, by now Louis M Faljo lived here at 899 Main Street, with his wife Elisa, their two daughters Anita and Amelie (Emily), and their 11-year-old son Luis (Louis) George. His occupation is listed as a grocer. The place where he worked was Faljo Bros. & Co. , a well-known general merchandise store, which had been established by Louis M. Faljo and his brother, John Fatjo.
The store was located on the south side of Franklin Street between Main and Jackson Streets, a block away from his home. Both Louis M. Faljo and his brother. John, deeply cared about the welfare of the families who lived in Santa Clara, and Faljo Bros. & Co. became well-known for the advice and assistance they gave to the multitude of immigrants from Spain and Portugal (via the sugar plantations of Hawaii) who arrived here during the first decades of the Twentieth Century, Louis M. Faljo also founded the Granadafig Company, located on Monroe Street. Employing over 50 women and girls, his company dealt in the business of selling packed dry fruit, both plain and fancy. The Van Noy Company of Kansas City, who did the purchasing for the railroad diners of various railroc1d companies and depot and steamboat stands was one of his largest purchasers. In 1917 he received large orders from the Army and Navy, destined for the those serving in the military.
As a prominent businessman, in the first decades of the Twentieth Century Louis M. Fatjo also became deeply involved with the Commercial League (forerunner of the Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce) in the promotion of Santa Clara as a great place to live and work. For several years he served as Secretary of that organization.
Louis (Luis) M. Fatjo was the youngest son of Antonio Fatjo. The Fatjo family's connection to the Town Santa Clara goes back to 1849, when Antonio Fatjo arrived. Born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1828, Antonio was sent by his father on a South American tour for his health, when he was 15. When the ship reached Santiago Chili, a merchant came on board seeking educated young Spanish men who would make good mercantile clerks. Antonio was immediately hired to work in the wholesale dry goods house of lnfanta Bros and abandoned his trip. He resided in Santiago for the following 6 years, married and had two children, Antonio V. and Amelia. In early 1849, when reports of the fabulous gold finds in California reached Chili, Antonio Fatjo decided to leave and seek his fortune. However, after reaching California, rather than heading for the gold fields Antonio went into business with Jose Arques, another Spaniard from Chili, whom he met soon after arrival. They established a wholesale and general merchandise store in San Francisco.
In the fall of that year, Antonio moved to Santa Clara and became one of the first merchants in the hamlet when he opened the Farmer's Store, a general store located in the Arques Block on the corner of Main and Franklin Streets. In 1852, his wife, Mariana, and their two children joined Antonio. Here two more children were born, John and Clorinda. Their last child, Louis (Luis) M. , was born in 1861 during a trip to Spain. Four years later,,. Antonio made another trip to Spain and while there Mariana died. Due to the ill health which had plagued him all his life, Antonio remained in Spain for the next 11 years. On his voyage back to Santa Clara in 1876, Antonio married his second wife, Elisa, the widow of Antolin Raventos, in Santiago, Chili. Elisa had three children by her previous marriage and later her daughters, Theresa and Elisa Raventos, married Antonio's sons, John and Louis M. Fatjo.
As the "new" century progressed and the third generation of the Fatjo families started their families, they tended to settle and build their homes on land previously owned by older family members. For example, when Robert A. Fatjo, Antonio V. 's son, married in 1902, he and his new wife moved into a home at the SW corner of Liberty (today's Homestead Road) and Washington Streets on land that had belonged to his grandfather, Antonio, (Lot 1 of Block 2S, Range 3W). A Few years later, another of Antonio V. 's sons, Eugene, moved into 860 Washington; also located on his grandfather's property. (Continued on page 7, Form 523L)

In 1910, Louis M. Fatjo 's 21-year-old son Luis (Louis) George Fatjo was still living at home and working in the real estate office of Fatjo & Lovell. Also employed there was his 32-year-old cousin, Robert A. Fatjo, who the same year was involved with his father, Antonio V Fatjo, in the organization of Mission Bank. With the formation of this new bank, the Board of Directors included both Robert A. as Bank President and his cousin, Luis George as Assistant Cashier. Luis G. married Mary A. Miller and in 1912 their first child, Mary, was born.
The following year, the Luis G. Fatjo family moved into their newly built residence at 1044 Liberty Street, which was constructed on land that had been subdivided from the Lot 3 parcel owned by his father, Louis M. Fatjo. (The outbuildings which had existed on that portion of Louis M. Fatjo's lot were demolished for the construction of his son's new home.) Louis M. and Elisa Fatjo's youngest daughter, Amelie (Emily), had become a trained nurse in San Francisco. Here, in 1916, she married 26-year-old John J. Dowling and following their honeymoon, they moved into a home in San Francisco. Originally from England, John J. Dowling immigrated to America in 1907, settled in San Francisco and gained employment as an electrician for Southern Pacific Railroad Company. In 1915, he became a naturalized citizen. By 1920, John J. and Emily had moved to Oakland, where they rented a house. John J. Dowling was still working as an electrician for Southern Pacific, while Emily (Fatjo) was a homemaker.
In 1921, Elisa Fatjo passed away leaving Emily's father Louis M. Fatjo, living by himself at 899 Main Street. His son, Luis George, lived with his family, on the abutting lot at 1044 Liberty Street and his daughter, Emily (Amelie) Dowling and her husband, John, were in Oakland. Then two years later, in 1923, Luis George Fatjo sold 1044 Liberty Street, moved with his family to a new home on Scott Lane and Emily returned home to care for her ailing father, Louis M. Fatjo. When Emily (Fatjo) and her husband John J. Dowling left Oakland, they moved into a new home built for them on a portion of the property owned by her father. Their new house, 1054 Liberty Street was located near the NE corner of her father's property adjacent to the parcel on which her brother's house had been constructed a decade earlier. The following year, Louis M. Fatjo passed away and Luis George and Emily inherited his considerable estate. Included in Louis' estate was the 50' x 151 ' parcel that ran between Liberty and Lexington Streets, on which her home had been constructed and which was specifically left to his daughter, Emily. Louis M. Fatjo 's house at 899 Main and the remainder of Lot 2, Block 2S, Range 1W on which it was located was sold by Luis George and Emily to Walter H. Minns, the Santa Clara County Deputy Sherriff.
It must be noted that at this time, Emily was not the only third generation member of the Fatjo family living on the block designated Block 2 South, Range 1 West or in close proximity to it. Emily's cousin Eugene Fatjo lived with his wife and daughter right around the corner at 860 Washington Street on the portion of the block, which had belonged to his father, Louis M. Fatjo 's older brother Antonio V.
And another cousin, Eugene 's sister, Delfina Fatjo, lived just two blocks away at 646 Washington Street.
By 1930, Emily and John J. Dowling had now been living here for seven years. Emily had returned to the profession of nursing, while John was still employed as an electrician for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. As shown on the Census for that year, their home at 1054 Liberty Street was currently worth $2,500. By now they had been married for 13 years and had had no children, however John 's17-year-old nephew, Thomas Lambert, had moved in with them and was working as a book-keeper in the Bank of Italy where her cousin, Robert A. Fatjo, was Bank Presidenr. (Note: in 1916, the Bank of Italy had purchased the Mission Bank where Emily's brother, Luis George Fatjo, was a Bank Director, for their branch in Santa Clara.) A few years later, the Dowlings had a second small house constructed on the property where their house at 1054 Liberty Street existed.
This was a small (approximately 500 squar~ foot) cottage built at the south end of their lot. Facing Lexington Street, its address became 1053 Lexington Street. Emily and John 's decision to construct a second house at this time was likely influenced by a pattern of development in Santa Clara that was taking place in the town.
Unlike the need for affordable working-class housing that had risen in the second decade of the Twentieth Century, which saw large lots split and smaller houses constructed on the resultant smaller lots that were economical to purchase, due to economic conditions during the 1930s, a need had developed for affordable rental housing for the working-class population; mainly migrant workers in the agriculture industry. This period saw many of these workers coming to Santa Clara where they could find jobs in the orchards, canneries and fruit-packing plants. However, they were not coming to settle and only needed housing for a short period of time, before moving on to the next location. As a result, where adequate space existed, small cottages were built on already developed lots, usually (Continued on page 8, Form 523L)

somewhere to the rear of the already existing main home. With rents of $10-12/month, the construction of affordable rental housing in this manner, provided a solution to the need for this type of housing and, especially during the Depression years, had the bonus of providing extra irlcome to the homeowners of the land on which they were erected.
Throughout the 1930s, the Dowlings continued to live in their main residence at 1044 Liberty Street and rent out the second house they now had on their property, the subject house at 1053 Lexington Street. Toward the end of 1938, Emily (Fatjo) Dowling passed away and her husband, John J. Dowling, inherited the property. According to the 1940 Census, by then he had remarried his second wife, Olive. John and Olive lived in 1054 Liberty Street and he continued using 1053 Lexington as a rental property.
An example of the diverse group of those who rented 1053 Lexington includes the following: Luke Boskovich, a 21-year-old mechanic for a fruit packing Company, who was living here in 1940 with his 19-year-old wife Antoinette and their 1-year-old daughter; a widow, Mrs. Annie J. Von Arsdell, who resided here in 1946 and John Faulds, Jr. who lived here in 1948. By the end of 1953, another widow, 43-year-old Emily J. Garrett, who was employed as a pear packer at Day & Young, was renting this home. (Note: Day & Young was a well-known fruit packing company in Santa Clara that packed and shipped pears and Mrs. Garret husband, Joseph, had been a department manager for Day & Young before his death circa 1.952.) Unlike previous tenants, Mrs. Emily J. Garrett was not a short-time renter. According to the City Directories, by now retired, she was still renting this home in 1968.
Until 1967, John J. and Olive continued to live in the main house at 1044 Liberty Street and use the small home at 1053 Lexington Street as a rental property. Then John J. Dowling passed away and his widow, Olive Dowling, inherited the property. She continued living at 1044 Liberty Street and renting out 1053 Lexington through the mid-1970s and then she died and the lot with both dwellings on it was sold. The subsequent owners of the lot, which had both 1054 Homestead Road (by now Liberty Street had been renamed) and 1053 Lexington Street located on it, continued using 1053 for rental purposes. In 2001, when the house at 1053 Lexington Street was purchased by Lily Chen, the current owner, the original lot was split into 2 parcels with each separate lot containing only a single house.
Parcel 1 was a 4,000 sq. ft. lot on which the home fronting on Homestead Road existed and Parcel 2, a slightly smaller 3562.50 sq. ft. lot, which had the subject residence facing Lexington Street located on it. As it has been utilized since its construction circa 1935, the current owner of 1053 Lexington Street has continued to use the house as a rental property.
Historic Evaluation
In order to be considered historically or culturally significant, a property must satisfy certain requirements. It must be 50 years old or older (except in cases of exceptional significance); it must retain historic integrity; it must meet one or more of the National Register of Historic Places criteria for significance, and/or the California Register of Historic Resources criteria for significance, and/or the criteria for listing in a local historic resource inventory.
Age Requirement. ,.,.
Constructed circa 1935, the subject residence at 1053 Lexington Street is over 50 years old and thus meets the age requirement.
Integrity Requirement.
Integrity refers to a property's ability to convey its significance. Significance is conveyed by the retention of a resource's visual and physical characteristics and its surroundings. The National Register of Historic Places criteria recognize seven aspects to integrity.
These are location, design, setting , materials, workmanship, feeling and association. To retain historic integrity, a property will always possess several and usually most of these aspects . Both the California Register of Historic Resources and the City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance follow the National Register integrity criteria .
While the architectural integrity of the original structure has been slightly diminished by the replacement of its entry doors, the majority of the visual and character defining features of the historic building have been preserved and retained. The residence at 1053 Lexington Street retains its original location and the property is well maintained. The historical use of the building has not changed and. (Continued on page 9, Form 523L)

it remains a residence. The subject property is set within a historic residential setting in the area of Santa Clara known as the "Old Quad," and, while a portion of the block in which it is located has been compromised by new development, the immediate streetscape that surrounds it/retains many qualities that reflect the period in which the house was constructed.
The subject property retains enough of its historic character and appearance to be recognizable as a historic property and to convey the reason for its significance (integrity).
National Register of Historic Places Criteria.
There are not any events associated with the residence at 1053 Lexington Street which have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history or cultural heritage. It would therefore appear that the building would not be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places based on Criterion A (associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history). The building has had various owners over the almost 90 years of its existence and none appear to reach the level of significant influence required under Criterion B to be consid~red eligible for the National Register. Neither do any of the occupants appear to be significant to the history of the region, Nation or State of California. It would therefore appear that the building at 1053 Lexington Street would not be eligible for the National Register based on Criterion B (associated with the lives of persons significant in our past). With the exception of the replaced doors, the home is unaltered and the character-defining features of its circa 1935 construction in the Cape Cod subtype of the Minimal Traditional architectural style remain, such as its single story, rectangular plan, simple compact massing, symmetrical appearance, low-pitched, side-gabled roof with a shallow eave overhang, small front facing gable and narrow, wood clapboard siding, which are characteristic features of the Cape Cod sub-type of the Minimal Traditional architectural style and thus, under National Register Criterion C the residence at 1053 Lexington Street could be considered to "embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction" and "represent[s} a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction" and due to its proximity to other historically significant homes in the area, it does contribute to a potentially eligible Historic District. Therefore, it does appear that the building may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C.
California Register of Historic Resources Criteria
The Criteria for listing in the California Register of Historical Places are consistent with those for listing in the National Register.
However, they have been modified to better reflect the history of California at both a local and State level. Criterion 1 is the California Register equivalent of the National Register Criterion A (events) and California Register Criterion 2, the equivalent of National Register Criterion B (persons). The property at 1053 Lexington Street is associated with the Fatjo family that originally arrived in 1849 and that for decades after made significant contributions to the economic growth of the City of Santa Clara. Thus, it is associated with the lives of persons important to local history and does appear to be eligible for the California Register based on Criterion 1 and Criterion 2.
Criterion 3 (the equivalent of National Regist,er Criterion C) addresses the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction. Originally constructed circa 1935 in Cape Cod subtype of the Minimal Traditional architectural style, which is associated with the period of 1935-1950, the subject residence is characterized by being a one-story home with a /ow-pitched, sidegabled roof with a shallow eave overhang and small, open front-facing gabled entry porch that projects from the center of the house, a rectangular plan, compact massing, narrow wood clapboard siding and double-hung windows with wide flat trim. Although the property has been slightly altered, the character-defining features of its 1935 construction remain. Th erefore, it does appear to reach the level of significance necessary to be individually eligible for the California Register under Criterion 3.
City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance
In 2004, The City of Santa Clara adopted the Criteria for Local Significance. Under these criteria , "any building, site, or property in the city that is 50 years old or older and meets certain criteria of architectural, cultural, historical, geographical or archaeological significance is potentially eligible" to be a "Qualified Historic Resource." The evaluator finds that the property meets the following criteria:

Criteria for Historical or Cultural Significance:
To be Historically or culturally significant a property must meet at least one of the following criteria:
I
1. The site, building or property has character, interest, integrity and reflects the heritage and cultural development of the city, region , state or nation.
Due to its association with a person who had been born and raised in Santa Clara and was the descendent of an earlier prominent settler and first her home and then the subject residence was constructed on the land inherited from him, this property does have a direct association with the broad patterns of Santa Clara history, where many times, inherited property was used in this manner by following generations. The building has interest, integrity and character and reflects the growth of this area in the first part of the 20th Century as the children of earlier Santa Clara residents redeveloped the property they had inherited.
3. The property is associated with an important individual or group, who contributed in a significant way to the political , social, and/or cultural life of the community.
It has been written that the Fatjo families "have a long and illustrious history" in Santa Clara and this property is associated with Emily (Fatjo) Dowling a member of the Louis M. Fatjo Family. Staring with the arrival of Antonio Fatjo in 1849, for a century members of the Fatjo family would play an important role in the social and cultural life of the community. The first owner of this residence, Emily (Amelie) Fatjo Dowling was the daughter of Louis M. Fatjo. Born in 1861, he was Antonio Fatjo 's the fifth child. Like his father, Louis established a general merchandise store where he and his brother became well-known for the advice and assistance they gave to the multitude of immigrants from Spain end Portugal, via the sugar plantations of Hawaii, who arrived here during the first decades of the Twentieth Century. Following the store's establishment, Louis also became deeply involved with the Commercial League (forerunner of the Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce) and as its secretary wrote several newspaper articles promoting the town of Santa Clara.
Over the years, members of the Fatjo family also played a prominent role in Santa Clara 's banking industry, including Emily's uncle, Antonio V. , cousin, Robert A. and brother Luis George Fatjo. Active in Santa Clara ' social life, when she married John Dowling, Emily Fatjo was described as "well and popularly known " in Santa Clara. At least three generations of members of the prominent Fatjo family, lived on this block, on property originally owned and developed by their ancestors and Emily (Amelie) Fatjo Dowling, the owner of this house, at 1053 Lexington Street, was one of them.
5. A building's direct association with broad patterns of local area history, including development and settlement patterns, early or important transportation routes or social, political , or economic trends and activities.
This home at 1053 Lexington Street was constructed to meet a need, which due to economic conditions had developed for affordable housing and especially affordable rental housing, mainly for migrant workers in the agriculture industry. This period saw many of these workers coming to Santa Clara where they could find jobs in the orchards, canneries and fruit-packing plants. However, most were not coming to settle and only needed housing for a short period of time, before they moved on to the next location. As a result, as a way to meet this need, where enough space existed" small cottages were built on already developed lots, usually somewhere to the rear of the already existing main home. Sited on the lot, to the rear of the original main house, this small, 546 sq. ft. house was constructed circa 1935 to be an affordable rental property and has continuously been used as such.
The subject property does meet Criteria 1, 3 ~nd 5 for Historically or Cultural Significance of the City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance. However, it does not meet Criteria 2 or 4 for Historically or Cultural Significance.
Criteria for Architectural Significance:
To be architecturally significant a property must meet at least one of the following criteria:
1. The property characterizes an architectural style associated with a particular era and/or ethnic group.
The residence at 1053 Lexington Street was designed and constructed circa 1935 in the in the side-gabled roof (commonly called Cape (Continued on page 11 , Form 523L)

Cod) subtype of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. This style is associated with the period from 1935 to 1950. With the economic depression of the 1930s there rose an escalating need for affordable housing and, as a simple style Cape Cod homes proved the ideal form of construction to meet this need. Considered to be a no-frills version of earlier house styles, usually offering just two bedrooms and one bath, these were seen as inexpensive, small homes for small families. During the 1930's and early 1940's numerous articles promoting this architectural style appeared in popular publications across the county, pointing out they qualified for FHA loans. (From its creation in 1934, the FHA house building requirements limited the maximum sales price in order to keep the market open to all.)
Cape Cod dwellings have a symmetrical appearance with a slanted, side-gabled roof and a shallow roof overhang, narrow, horizontal, wood clapboard or shiplap sheathing and always have a double-hung window on each side of the entry door, all features of this property. Many homes were constructed in this architectural style in Santa Clara during the period of 1930s to 1950 but most have been highly altered over the years to meet modern needs. Although slightly altered in the rear of the east side-elevation by the early addition of a small wing (a not uncommon occurrence for Cape Cod houses) and the replacement of its doors, the majority of this architectural style's character-defining features remain and today the subject building still reflects its original architectural style. Today, this makes the property at 1053 Homestead Street a rare a,:_chitectural style that characterizes the particular era in Santa Clara with which it is associated.
The subject property does meet Criterion 1 for Architectural Significance of the City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance.
However, it does not meet Criteria for Architectural Significance 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.
Criteria for Geographic Significance:
To be geographically significant a property must meet at least one of the following criteria:
1. A neighborhood, group or unique area directly associated with broad patterns of local area history.
The subject property is located in the area of the Old Quad where the larger lots were redeveloped to accommodate the growth that Santa Clara experienced in the first decades of the twentieth century, due to economic forces and the growth of the City's industries.
The historic residential properties in this area contribute to the historic setting that reflects the neighborhood's role in the broad patterns of Santa Clara's early development.
2. A building's continuity and compatibility with adjacent buildings and/or visual contribution to a group of similar buildings.
Constructed circa 1935 as a small Cape Cod residence, this house remains as an example of the smaller homes built in Santa Clara in the early twentieth century. It is representative of the development of this area of the Old Quad during the late 19th and early 20th century and is important to the integrity of the historic area in which it is located. Most of the homes on this block were constructed from 1885 to the early 1930s. This accounts for tf)..e continuity of the building styles in the neighborhood.
Currently, all of the homes on the 800 Washington Street block face (810, 826,844, 860 & 890), one on the 1000 Homestead Road block face (1044), as well as the Public Park (1098 Lexington Street, the "Former Mission Corral Site'; directly to the south of the Lexington Street block face, are listed on the .pty of Santa Clear's list of Architecturally and/or Historically Significant Properties. The subject house at 1053 Lexington Street is the only home that was ever constructed facing Lexington Street on this block; the neighboring Lexington Street lots are the rear of the historic Washington and Homestead properties.
The subject property does meet Criterion 1 and 2 for Geographic Significance, of the City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance.
However, it does not meet Criteria for Geographic Significance 3 or 4.
Criteria for Archaeological Significance:
As the property at 1053 Lexington Street contains no known or unknown prehistoric or historic archaeological resources , it would not be (Continued on page 12, Form 523L)

Archaeologically Significant under any of the five of the City of Santa Clara's Criteria for Archaeological Resources. However, should any prehistoric or historic archaeological resources be uncovered in the future, this would be subject to change.
I
Conclusions and Recommendations
Currently, this property is not on The City of Santa Clara Architecturally or Historically Significant Properties list. However, the property is over 50 years old and thus meets the age requirement and the evaluator finds 1053 Lexington Street to retain sufficient integrity to qualify as a historic property. It appears to be, based on compliance with the National Register of Historic Places Criteria , the California Register of Historic Resources Criteria and the City of Santa Clara's Local Significance Criteria, a "Qualified Historic Resource," eligible for listing on the City of Santa Clara Architecturally and/or Historically Significant Properties List.

Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation
1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships.
2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration offeatures, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will '
be avoided.
3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken.
4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used.
8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
10 Year Plan
As she already remains true to much of her original creation, my plan for the next 10 years for 1053 Lexington is rather simplistic. I anticipate that over the course of the next 10 years, I will perform the following repairs and maintenance ahead of or as the need arises:
Year 1 Inspect and repair all windows for proper functioning and sealing Repair the weight and pulley system on one of the bedroom windows Year 2 Inspect and repair/replace any damaged interior trim work Year 3 Inspect and repair/replace any damaged living room, dining room, or bedroom flooring
Year 4 Obtain a professional inspection of the foundation Year 5 Inspect and repair/replace any dry rot
Year 6 Inspect for termites and spot treat or tent as necessary Year 7 Repair/replace any damaged kitchen flooring, faucets, plumbing, counters and cabinetry
Year 8 Repair damage to bathtub finish and repair/replace and damaged bathroom tiling, flooring, faucets, plumbing, counters and cabinetry Year 9 Inspect and replace any damaged gutters
Inspect and replace roof as necessary
Year 10 Repaint the exterior of house
Any repairs to the exterior will be done with like materials and in a comparable style that maintains its character-defining features.
I respectfully submit for your consideration my application for Mills Act Historic Property Contract.

REPORT TO HISTORICAL AND LANDMARKS COMMISSION
SUBJECT
Consideration of Historic Resource Inventory Property Designation and a Historical Preservation Agreement (Mills Act Contract) for 1053 Lexington Street
BACKGROUND
The property owner, Lily Chen, is requesting a Historical Preservation Agreement (Mills Act Contract) for the property located at 1053 Lexington Street. A requirement of the Mills Act is that the building must be a qualified structure, listed on either a local, State, or National register. The subject site is not currently listed on any of the aforementioned inventories. Therefore, the applicant is seeking local listing on the City’s Historic Resource Inventory (HRI). The property must be added to the HRI prior to approving a Mills Act contract.
The subject property is on a small 3,562 square-foot lot in the Old Quad historic neighborhood and is located to the north side of Lexington Street between Washington Street and Main Street. The existing residence on the property is a 546 square-foot one-story house designed in the side-gabled roof (commonly called Cape Cod) subtype of the Minimal Traditional architectural style and was constructed in 1935. The property has a detached garage that appears to have been constructed at the same time as the residence in 1935. Shortly after construction, the home was altered by the addition of a small side-gable-roofed wing at the rear of the east side-elevation. However, the early addition of a small wing was a common occurrence for the Cape Cod architectural style and has no effect on its integrity.
DISCUSSION
The Mills Act Program allows a qualified property owner to receive a potential property tax reduction and use that savings to assist in offsetting the costs to rehabilitate, restore, and maintain their property. To qualify for the program, the property and/or building must be listed on either a local, State, or National register. The property owner must also have a plan to restore and rehabilitate the property. As the subject site is not listed on any of the aforementioned inventories, the property owner is seeking local listing of the property on the City’s Historic Resource Inventory (HRI); as well as approval of a Mills Act Contract and the adoption of a 10-Year Restoration and Maintenance Plan for the property.
A Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523A Form was prepared by Lorie Garcia of Beyond Buildings in December 2022, assessing the historical significance of the property based on National and State (California) Register criteria and the City’s local criteria for significance. The property is eligible for listing on the City of Santa Clara’s HRI based on the evaluation of the adopted Criteria for Local Significance under the architectural, cultural, historical, architectural, and geographical criteria.
The residence retains the majority of character defining features of the original building architecture; as well as its contribution to a potentially eligible Historic District (Old Quad) due to its proximity to City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 5/25/2023

23-512 Agenda Date: 6/1/2023
other historically significant properties. There are presently seven properties, 1044 Homestead Road, 1098 Lexington Street, 810 Washington Street, 826 Washington Street, 844 Washington Street, 860 Washington Street, and 890 Washington Street, within 200 feet of 1053 Lexington Street that are listed on the City’s HRI.
In regard to the Criteria for Local Significance, the evaluator identified the property as eligible for listing on the City’s HRI for the following:
· Historically or culturally significance based on Criterion 1,3, and 5 for its association with Emily (Fatjo) Dowling, a member of the Louis M. Fatjo Family, and the need for affordable rental property to accommodate migrant workers in the agriculture industry; · Architectural significance based on Criterion 1 for its association with the period from 1935 to 1950 related to the economic depression of the 1930s resulting in a need for affordable housing that is seen through the simple style Cape Cod home; and · Geographic significance based on Criterion 1 and 2 for the location and visual contribution to the historic setting in the Old Quad.
The DPR Form (Attachment 2) details the criteria for evaluation and listing of a potentially historic resource. The analysis concludes that the property meets the requirement of greater than 50 years in age and retains sufficient integrity to qualify as a historic resource based on the evidence presented in the analysis.
The property owner submitted a Statement of Justification (Attachment 4) and 10-Year Plan (Attachment 5) for the interior and exterior of the residential structure and property grounds. The 10- Year Plan includes inspecting for termites, replacing the roof and gutters, restoring and repairing existing windows, and repainting the interior and exterior of the residence.
Staff finds that the work proposed under the 10-Year Rehabilitation and Maintenance Plan adheres to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. The proposed changes support the preservation, protection, and maintenance of a structure that is qualified to be a locally significant resource.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Mills Act Program is exempt from CEQA environmental review requirements per CEQA Section 15061(b) (3). The activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Mills Act Contracts are not publicly noticed as they are a private contract between the City and property owner.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Historical and Landmarks Commission find that the Mills Act application and associated 10-Year Restoration and Maintenance Plan accomplish the intent of preserving and maintaining the historical significance of the historic property and, therefore, recommend Council City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 3 Printed on 5/25/2023

The specific property on which this residence is located was originally a 152' x 50' centrally located lot that ran from Homestead Road (Liberty Street) to Lexington Street. The original house on the lot, 1054 Homestead Road, was constructed near the northern end of lot and faced Liberty Street (Homestead.) A few years later when the subject house at 1053 Lexington Street was built, it was sited at the south end of the lot facing Lexington Street. In 2001, the original large lot was officially split into 2 separate small parcels so that currently 1053 Lexington Street is located on an individual 50' x 71.25' lot.
Since the 1960s, the block's northern portion that fronts on Homestead has been altered, including the widening and name change of the street from Liberty Street to Homestead Road. However, the remaining sides of the block have only suffered minimal change. With the exception of the two rows of apartment buildings on the lot at the corner of Lexington and Main Streets, which were built in the 1940s, all of the buildings on the portion of the northern Lexington Street block face that runs from Washington to Main Streets were mainly constructed from 1914 to circa 1935. The maintenance of the historic integrity of this Lexington Street's block face and the street's location directly across from the historic park, result in the streetscape being a pleasant one, which evokes the sense of a neighborhood from the second quarter of the twentieth century.
Constructed circa 1935, the primary building on the site is a 546 sq. ft., one-story house, designed in the side-gabled roof (commonly called Cape Cod) subtype of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. Set on its current small 3,562 sq. ft. lot, the house fronts roughly south onto Lexington Street and is set back from the street allowing for an open landscaped area with a cultivated lawn , planting beds with ornamental shrubbery and a large shade tree, which is adjacent to the fence on the west property line. The house is offset on its lot creating a small west side-yard and a relatively large east side-yard. A high wood fence, which runs from the front sidewalk down the site's west side, across the rear to a narrow east side fence that attaches close to the NE rear corner of a detached garage, defines the western, northern and eastern property lines.
A straight, red brick walkway leads from the front sidewalk to the front porch and main entry. A second brick walkway from the sidewalk, located between the garage and the eastern edge of the front lawn, leads to a high wooden gated fence. Situated between the juncture of the house front and east side elevation and the west side elevation of the garage, this fence secures access to home's ~------------------------------~ side entry and rear yard. A second fence between Supplemental Photograph or Drawing the house and the high wooden fence located on the west side-property line, also secures access to
the rear of the property The rear of the property
includes open lawn area, planting beds and large
trees. Opening onto Lexington Street, a wide
driveway, finished with concrete, is located on the
east side of the lot. The driveway ends at a
detached garage.
Set on a concrete foundation, with only a crawl
space to slightly elevate it, the plan of this small,
single-family residence is rectangular with simple
compact massing and a symmetrical appearance.
It has a low-pitched, side-gabled roof with a
shallow eave overhang. The eaves of the main
body of the house are unenclosed, however the
rake eaves are closed. All the eaves are trimmed
with plain boards (a character-defining feature).
The roof is sheathed with composition shingles.

A small side-gable-roofed wing, which was added a few years after the original construction, projects from the rear of the building's east side-elevation. The addition of a small wing was a common occurrence for this architectural style. The home's single story, plan, massing and rodf style are characteristic features of the Cape Cod sub-type of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. (Note: A high narrow, shallow, shed-like projection on the rear far;ade is not part of the habitable space. At some point, it was constructed to house the home's water heater.)
This home is clad with horizontal, narrow, wood clapboard siding, the most common sheathing used for this style. Also characteristic of this style is the lack of exterior decorative detailing, so that characteristically the front far;ade has very little ornamentation; that being only a centered front door with an evenly spaced window on either side of the door, such as found in the subject property. A large, wood-louvered attic vent ( original) is set under the apex of each of the main body's west and east facing gabled roofs along with that of the small front-facing gabled entrance porch. Each attic vent is framed with wide plain boards. Set into the side and rear elevations, are wood framed ground-level openings (original.) Metal mesh covers each opening. These provide ventilation to the crawl space under the house.
According to McAlester, the predominant characteristic of this architectural style is a front facing gable, either as a small wing or an entry detail. This home exhibits that characteristic in its small, front-facing gabled entry porch, which is slightly off-centered on the front facade and projects from the house. The front and sides of the porch are unenclosed and at its front corners, the porch roof rests on turned columns, instead of the square columns that were the common style used for Cape Cod residences. (It is believed this resulted from the of use of columns salvaged from Louis M. Fatjo 's home, following its early remodel by a new owner.) The main entrance is on the front (south) far;ade. It is accessed by 1 (one) full-width, concrete step that leads to the open small concrete porch. The front (main) door, is wood framed. Set into the top third of the door is a rectangular window with 6 panes (2 rows of 3 panes per row) divided by mun/ins, with two vertically orientated wood panels set into the bottom half of the door. (The door is not original it has replaced another door that itself replaced the original one. However, it is compatible with this architectural style where the first replacement door was not.) The entry door is centered on the porch, a character defining feature of the Cape Cod sub-type of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. It is framed with plain wide boards and has a narrow projecting threshold, also characteristic of this style.
Two secondary entrances provide access into the house from the east side-elevation. One door is centered on the east side-elevation of the main body of the home. This secondary entry door is a Stanley door (metal encasing the core) with two vertically orientated panels set into in the bottom half and a rectangular window with an inset "plastic" divider, which gives the appearance of 9 panes (3 rows of 3 panes per row) separated by muntins) set into its top half Another secondary entrance is provided by an identical door set into the south side-elevation of the small projecting wing. Both entry doors are also trimmed with wide wood boards however, unlike the main front entry door, neither have a projecting threshold. Both secondary entry doors are not original. Each has replaced the original one. Access to both side doors is off of a raised wooden deck (new), which is accessed by 3 wooden steps, one set inside the east side gate, and a similar set of steps from the rear yard. The deck fills the space between the main body of the house and its projecting wing and the detached garage. ,...
Another character-defining feature of this home is its windows, which are typical in form to those of the Cape Cod sub-type of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. Fenestration is simple and consists of mix of vertically-oriented and square windows. All of the home's windows are wood-framed, one-over-bne double hung windows with projecting sills and aprons and all are original. On the front far;ade, there are two large, vertically-orientated, one-over-one double-hung windows. Each is located, evenly spaced on either side of the front entry door; a main character-defining feature of this architectural style. On the east side-elevation of the main body of the house, a large vertically-oriented window is set near the front and, near the rear, a medium-sized square window is set between the side entry door and the small projecting wing. Centered on the east elevation of the wing is a large square window. The rear facade has a medium-sized, square window set near the corner formed by the wing (between the corner and water heater structure), followed by a smaller square window and then a large vertically-orientated window set near the convergence of the rear far;ade and the west side-elevation. On the west side-elevation, fenestration consists of a large vertically-orientated window near the rear, followed by a pair of large vertically-orientated windows set near the front. With the exception of this sole pair, all the home's windows are single windows.

Set close to the east side property line is the one-car, detached garage. It has a rectangular footprint and a hipped roof sheathed in composition shingles. Plain boards trim the roof's eaves. The walls are clad with horizontal, narrow, wood clapboard siding with the exception of the1
garage 's east side-wall, which is clad in wide shiplap siding. Located on the front (Lexington Street) elevation of this structure is the wooden garage door (not original). It is a single door, with three panels, and has a decorative pattern of two sets of horizontal, 6-paned windows, set above four solid horizontal panels. The door opens with an automatic garage door opener and was installed in 2020. Located adjacent to the rear of its east side-elevation is a man-door, which is similar to those of the home's secondary entry doors and like those, this door is not original. Centered in the rear fa9ade is a large, wood-framed vertically-orientated, one-over-one double-hung window, with a projecting sill and apron. Like those of the home, it is trimmed with wide flat boards and is original. This window allows light into the garage interior. The garage was also constructed circa 1935, concurrent with the subject residence.
A few years after it was constructed, the original circa 1935 house was slightly altered by the addition of the small side-gable-roofed wing, which was added to the rear of the east side-elevation. However, the early addition of a small wing was a common occurrence for the Cape Cod architectural style and has no effect on its integrity. Except for the replacement of the doors, there have been no exterior changes to the character-defining materials and workmanship from the time of the subject property's original construction. The majority of the original house and all of its primary character-defining features can still be identified. The property has been well maintained and is in good condition.

The parcel located at 1053 Lexington Street is a portion of a larger parcel that had originally been identified as Lot 3 of Block 2 South, Range 1 West, of the original survey of the City of Santa' Clara. This survey was done July 1866 by J. J. Bowen and recorded on August 22 of that same year. (It is this survey that forms the basis for the part of Santa Clara known as the "Old Quad.) As shown in J. J. Bowen's survey, in 1866 the L-shaped block framed by Liberty (Homestead), Washington, Lexington and Main Streets, was subdivided into eight lots and Lot 3, the largest of the eight lots, encompassed the northwestern corner of the block. According to the list of property owners and their improvements, which accompanied the 1866 survey, Lot 3 was a 31881 sq. ft. tract, which was owned by Guilford Seaver and contained a frame house and smith shop. While the exact locations of the house and shop on the lot are unknown, it is more than likely that the house was at the corner of Main and Liberty. According to the 1868 Poll List for Santa Clara, Guilford Lyman Seaver and his son, Daniel Whitney Seaver, both carriage makers by occupation, are shown on as having their residence at that location.

The Plat of Santa Clara, drawn in the period between 1873 and 1875, shows no change in the configuration of the block that had been surveyed nine years earlier. I
As shown on the December 1892, Map of Santa Clara, drawn by C. E. Moore, the City Surveyor, by now the block consisted of 10 lots.
Lot 3 was smaller than originally. (The part of this lot that was contiguous to Lot 2 was now owned by Wm. Fleury, an undertaker, who also owned the original Lot 2.) The owner of Lot 3 is shown to be Louis (Luis) M. Fatjo. In 1884, Louis M. Fatjo had married Elisa Raventos (the sister of his brother John 's wife, Teresa) and by the end of November 1885, Louis and Elisa 's first child, Anita, had been born. Then, two years later, in 1887, Louis M. Fatjo purchased the Lot 3 parcel from John West for $2,100. Located on the northwest corner of Lot 3, the home and it all of the out-buildings on the property are shown on the 1887 Sanborn Fire Insurance map.
According to the 1900 census, by now Louis M Fatjo lived here at 899 Main Street, with his wife Elisa, their two daughters Anita and Amelie (Emily), and their 11-year-old son Luis (Louis) George. His occupation is listed as a grocer. The place where he worked was Fatjo Bros. & Co., a well-known general merchandise store, which had been established by Louis M. Fatjo and his brother, John Fatjo.
The store was located on the south side of Franklin Street between Main and Jackson Streets, a block away from his home. Both Louis M. Fatjo and his brother. John, deeply cared about the welfare of the families who lived in Santa Clara, and Fatjo Bros. & Co. became well-known for the advice and assistance they gave to the multitude of immigrants from Spain and Portugal (via the sugar plantations of Hawaii) who arrived here during the first decades of the Twentieth Century, Louis M. Fatjo also founded the Granadafig Company, located on Monroe Street. Employing over 50 women and girls, his company dealt in the business of selling packed dry fruit, both plain and fancy. The Van Noy Company of Kansas City, who did the purchasing for the railroad diners of various railro~d companies and depot and steamboat stands was one of his largest purchasers. In 1917 he received large orders from the Army and Navy, destined for the those serving in the military.
As a prominent businessman, in the first decades of the Twentieth Century Louis M. Fatjo also became deeply involved with the Commercial League (forerunner of the Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce) in the promotion of Santa Clara as a great place to live and work. For several years he served as Secretary of that organization.
Louis (Luis) M. Fatjo was the youngest son of Antonio Fatjo. The Fatjo family's connection to the Town Santa Clara goes back to 1849, when Antonio Fatjo arrived. Born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1828, Antonio was sent by his father on a South American tour for his health, when he was 15. When the ship reached Santiago Chili, a merchant came on board seeking educated young Spanish men who would make good mercantile clerks. Antonio was immediately hired to work in the wholesale dry goods house of lnfanta Bros and abandoned his trip. He resided in Santiago for the following 6 years, married and had two children, Antonio V. and Amelia. In early 1849, when reports of the fabulous gold finds in California reached Chili, Antonio Fatjo decided to leave and seek his fortune. However, after reaching California, rather than heading for the gold fields Antonio went into business with Jose Arques, another Spaniard from Chili, whom he met soon after arrival. They established a wholesale and general merchandise store in San Francisco.
In the fall of that year, Antonio moved to Santa Clara and became one of the first merchants in the hamlet when he opened the Farmer's Store, a general store located in the Arques Block on the corner of Main and Franklin Streets. In 1852, his wife, Mariana, and their two children joined Antonio. Here two more children were born, John and Clorinda. Their last child, Louis (Luis) M. , was born in 1861 during a trip to Spain. Four years later, .Antonio made another trip to Spain and while there Mariana died. Due to the ill health which had plagued him all his life, Antonio ri mained in Spain for the next 11 years. On his voyage back to Santa Clara in 1876, Antonio married his second wife, Elisa, the widow of Antolin Raventos, in Santiago, Chili. Elisa had three children by her previous marriage and later her daughters, Theresa and Elisa Raventos, married Antonio's sons, John and Louis M. Fatjo.
As the "new" century progressed and the third generation of the Fatjo families started their families, they tended to settle and build their homes on land previously owned by older family members. For example, when Robert A. Fatjo, Antonio V. 's son, married in 1902, he and his new wife moved into a home at the SW corner of Liberty (today's Homestead Road) and Washington Streets on land that had belonged to his grandfather, Antonio, (Lot 1 of Block 2S, Range 3W). A Few years later, another of Antonio V. 's sons, Eugene, moved into 860 Washington; also located on his grandfather's property. (Continued on page 7, Form 523L)

In 1910, Louis M. Fatjo 's 21-year-old son Luis (Louis) George Fatjo was still living at home and working in the real estate office of Fatjo & Lovell. Also employed there was his 32-year-old cousin, Robert A. Fatjo, who the same year was involved with his father, Antonio V Fatjo, in the organization of Mission Bank. With the formation of this new bank, the Board of Directors included both Robert A. as Bank President and his cousin, Luis George as Assistant Cashier. Luis G. married Mary A. Miller and in 1912 their first child, Mary, was born.
The following year, the Luis G. Fatjo family moved into their newly built residence at 1044 Liberty Street, which was constructed on land that had been subdivided from the Lot 3 parcel owned by his father, Louis M. Fatjo. (The outbuildings which had existed on that portion of Louis M. Fatjo 's Jot were demolished for the construction of his son's new home.) Louis M. and Elisa Fatjo's youngest daughter, Amelie (Emily), had become a trained nurse in San Francisco. Here, in 1916, she married 26-year-old John J. Dowling and following their honeymoon, they moved into a home in San Francisco. Originally from England, John J. Dowling immigrated to America in 1907, settled in San Francisco and gained employment as an electrician for Southern Pacific Railroad Company. In 1915, he became a naturalized citizen. By 1920, John J. and Emily had moved to Oakland, where they rented a house. John J. Dowling was still working as an electrician for Southern Pacific, while Emily (Fatjo) was a homemaker.
In 1921, Elisa Fatjo passed away leaving Emily's father Louis M. Fatjo, living by himself at 899 Main Street. His son, Luis George, lived with his family, on the abutting lot at 1044 Liberty Street and his daughter, Emily (Amelie) Dowling and her husband, John, were in Oakland. Then two years later, in 1923, Luis George Fatjo sold 1044 Liberty Street, moved with his family to a new home on Scott Lane and Emily returned home to care for her ailing father, Louis M. Fatjo. When Emily (Fatjo) and her husband John J. Dowling left Oakland, they moved into a new home built for them on a portion of the property owned by her father. Their new house, 1054 Liberty Street was located near the NE corner of her father's property adjacent to the parcel on which her brother's house had been constructed a decade earlier. The following year, Louis M. Fatjo passed away and Luis George and Emily inherited his considerable estate. Included in Louis ' estate was the 50' x 151 ' parcel that ran between Liberty and Lexington Streets, on which her home had been constructed and which was specifically left to his daughter, Emily. Louis M. Fatjo's house at 899 Main and the remainder of Lot 2, Block 2S, Range 1W on which it was located was sold by Luis George and Emily to Walter H. Minns, the Santa Clara County Deputy Sherriff.
It must be noted that at this time, Emily was not the only third generation member of the Fatjo family living on the block designated Block 2 South, Range 1 West or in close proximity to it. Emily's cousin Eugene Fatjo lived with his wife and daughter right around the corner at 860 Washington Street on the portion of the block, which had belonged to his father, Louis M. Fatjo 's older brother Antonio V.
And another cousin, Eugene 's sister, Delfina Fatjo, lived just two blocks away at 646 Washington Street.
By 1930, Emily and John J. Dowling had now been living here for seven years. Emily had returned to the profession of nursing, while John was still employed as an electrician for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. As shown on the Census for that year, their home at 1054 Liberty Street was currently worth $2,500. By now they had been married for 13 years and had had no children, however John 's17-year-old nephew, Thomas Lambert, had moved in with them and was working as a book-keeper in the Bank of Italy where her cousin, Robert A. Fatjo, was Bank Presiden~ (Note: in 1916, the Bank of Italy had purchased the Mission Bank where Emily 's brother, Luis George Fatjo, was a Bank Director, for their branch in Santa Clara.) A few years later, the Dowlings had a second small house constructed on the property where their house at 1054 Liberty Street existed.
This was a small (approximately 500 squarfi foot) cottage built at the south end of their lot. Facing Lexington Street, its address became 1053 Lexington Street. Emily and John's decision to construct a second house at this time was likely influenced by a pattern of development in Santa Clara that was taking place in the town.
Unlike the need for affordable working-class housing that had risen in the second decade of the Twentieth Century, which saw large lots split and smaller houses constructed on the resultant smaller lots that were economical to purchase, due to economic conditions during the 1930s, a need had developed for affordable rental housing for the working-class population; mainly migrant workers in the agriculture industry. This period saw many of these workers coming to Santa Clara where they could find jobs in the orchards, canneries and fruit-packing plants. However, they were not coming to settle and only needed housing for a short period of time, before moving on to the next location. As a result, where adequate space existed, small cottages were built on already developed lots, usually (Continued on page 8, Form 523L)

somewhere to the rear of the already existing main home. With rents of $10-12/month, the construction of affordable rental housing in this manner, provided a solution to the need for this type of housing and, especially during the Depression years, had the bonus of providing extra income to the homeowners of the land on which they were erected.
Throughout the 1930s, the Dowlings continued to live in their main residence at 1044 Liberty Street and rent out the second house they now had on their property, the subject house at 1053 Lexington Street. Toward the end of 1938, Emily (Fatjo) Dowling passed away and her husband, John J. Dowling, inherited the property. According to the 1940 Census, by then he had remarried his second wife, Olive. John and Olive lived in 1054 Liberty Street and he continued using 1053 Lexington as a rental property.
An example of the diverse group of those who rented 1053 Lexington includes the following: Luke Boskovich, a 21-year-old mechanic for a fruit packing Company, who was living here in 1940 with his 19-year-old wife Antoinette and their 1-year-old daughter; a widow, Mrs. Annie J. Von Arsdell, who resided here in 1946 and John Faulds, Jr. who lived here in 1948. By the end of 1953, another widow, 43-year-old Emily J. Garrett, who was employed as a pear packer at Day & Young, was renting this home. (Note: Day & Young was a well-known fruit packing company in Santa Clara that packed and shipped pears and Mrs. Garret husband, Joseph, had been a department manager for Day & Young before his death circa 1.952.) Unlike previous tenants, Mrs. Emily J. Garrett was not a short-time renter. According to the City Directories, by now retired, she was still renting this home in 1968.
Until 1967, John J. and Olive continued to live in the main house at 1044 Liberty Street and use the small home at 1053 Lexington Street as a rental property. Then John J. Dowling passed away and his widow, Olive Dowling, inherited the property. She continued living at 1044 Liberty Street and renting out 1053 Lexington through the mid-1970s and then she died and the lot with both dwellings on it was sold. The subsequent owners of the lot, which had both 1054 Homestead Road (by now Liberty Street had been renamed) and 1053 Lexington Street located on it, continued using 1053 for rental purposes. In 2001, when the house at 1053 Lexington Street was purchased by Lily Chen, the current owner, the original lot was split into 2 parcels with each separate lot containing only a single house.
Parcel 1 was a 4,000 sq. ft. lot on which the home fronting on Homestead Road existed and Parcel 2, a slightly smaller 3562.50 sq. ft. lot, which had the subject residence facing Lexington Street located on it. As it has been utilized since its construction circa 1935, the current owner of 1053 Lexington Street has continued to use the house as a rental property.
Historic Evaluation
In order to be considered historically or culturally significant, a property must satisfy certain requirements. It must be 50 years old or older (except in cases of exceptional significance); it must retain historic integrity; it must meet one or more of the National Register of Historic Places criteria for significance, and/or the California Register of Historic Resources criteria for significance, and/or the criteria for listing in a local historic resource inventory.
Age Requirement. ,.,.
Constructed circa 1935, the subject residence at 1053 Lexington Street is over 50 years old and thus meets the age requirement.
Integrity Requirement.
Integrity refers to a property's ability to convey its significance. Significance is conveyed by the retention of a resource's visual and physical characteristics and its surroundings. The National Register of Historic Places criteria recognize seven aspects to integrity.
These are location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. To retain historic integrity, a property will always possess several and usually most of these aspects. Both the California Register of Historic Resources and the City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance follow the National Register integrity criteria.
While the architectural integrity of the original structure has been slightly diminished by the replacement of its entry doors, the majority of the visual and character defining features of the historic building have been preserved and retained. The residence at 1053 Lexington Street retains its original location and the property is well maintained. The historical use of the building has not changed and. (Continued on page 9, Form 523L)

it remains a residence. The subject property is set within a historic residential setting in the area of Santa Clara known as the "Old Quad," and, while a portion of the block in which it is located has been compromised by new development, the immediate streetscape that surrounds it/retains many qualities that reflect the period in which the house was constructed.
The subject property retains enough of its historic character and appearance to be recognizable as a historic property and to convey the reason for its significance (integrity).
National Register of Historic Places Criteria.
There are not any events associated with the residence at 1053 Lexington Street which have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history or cultural heritage. It would therefore appear that the building would not be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places based on Criterion A (associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history). The building has had various owners over the almost 90 years of its existence and none appear to reach the level of significant influence required under Criterion B to be considft_red eligible for the National Register. Neither do any of the occupants appear to be significant to the history of the region, Nation or State of California. It would therefore appear that the building at 1053 Lexington Street would not be eligible for the National Register based on Criterion B ( associated with the lives of persons significant in our past). With the exception of the replaced doors, the home is unaltered and the character-defining features of its circa 1935 construction in the Cape Cod subtype of the Minimal Traditional architectural style remain, such as its single story, rectangular plan, simple compact massing, symmetrical appearance, low-pitched, side-gabled roof with a shallow eave overhang, small front facing gable and narrow, wood clapboard siding, which are characteristic features of the Cape Cod sub-type of the Minimal Traditional architectural style and thus, under National Register Criterion C the residence at 1053 Lexington Street could be considered to "embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction" and "represent[s} a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction" and due to its proximity to other historically significant homes in the area, it does contribute to a potentially eligible Historic District. Therefore, it does appear that the building may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C.
California Register of Historic Resources Criteria
The Criteria for listing in the California Register of Historical Places are consistent with those for listing in the National Register.
However, they have been modified to better reflect the history of California at both a local and State level. Criterion 1 is the California Register equivalent of the National Register Criterion A (events) and California Register Criterion 2, the equivalent of National Register Criterion B (persons). The property at 1053 Lexington Street is associated with the Fatjo family that originally arrived in 1849 and that for decades after made significant contributions to the economic growth of the City of Santa Clara. Thus, it is associated with the lives of persons important to local history and does appear to be eligible for the California Register based on Criterion 1 and Criterion 2.
Criterion 3 (the equivalent of National Regist,er Criterion C) addresses the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction. Originally constructed circa 1935 in Cape Cod subtype of the Minimal Traditional architectural style, which is associated with the period of 1935-1950, the subject residence is characterized by being a one-story home with a /ow-pitched, sidegabled roof with a shallow eave overhang and small, open front-facing gabled entry porch that projects from the center of the house, a rectangular plan, compact massing, narrow wQod clapboard siding and double-hung windows with wide flat trim. Although the property has been slightly altered, the character-defining features of its 1935 construction remain. Therefore, it does appear to reach the level of significance necessary to be individually eligible for the California Register under Criterion 3.
City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance
In 2004, The City of Santa Clara adopted the Criteria for Local Significance. Under these criteria , "any building, site, or property in the city that is 50 years old or older and meets certain criteria of architectural, cultural, historical, geographical or archaeological significance is potentially eligible" to be a "Qualified Historic Resource." The evaluator finds that the property meets the following criteria:

Criteria for Historical or Cultural Significance:
To be Historically or culturally significant a property must meet at least one of the following criteria:
I
1. The site, building or property has character, interest, integrity and reflects the heritage and cultural development of the city, region , state or nation.
Due to its association with a person who had been born and raised in Santa Clara and was the descendent of an earlier prominent settler and first her home and then the subject residence was constructed on the land inherited from him, this property does have a direct association with the broad patterns of Santa Clara history, where many times, inherited property was used in this manner by following generations. The building has interest, integrity and character and reflects the growth of this area in the first part of the 20th Century as the children of earlier Santa Clara residents redeveloped the property they had inherited.
3. The property is associated with an important individual or group, who contributed in a significant way to the political , social , and/or cultural life of the community.
It has been written that the Fatjo families "have a long and illustrious history" in Santa Clara and this property is associated with Emily (Fatjo) Dowling a member of the Louis M. Fatjo Family. Staring with the arrival of Antonio Fatjo in 1849, for a century members of the Fatjo family would play an important role in the social and cultural life of the community. The first owner of this residence, Emily (Amelie) Fatjo Dowling was the daughter of Louis M. Fatjo. Born in 1861, he was Antonio Fatjo 's the fifth child. Like his father, Louis established a general merchandise store where he and his brother became well-known for the advice and assistance they gave to the multitude of immigrants from Spain end Portugal, via the sugar plantations of Hawaii, who arrived here during the first decades of the Twentieth Century. Following the store's establishment, Louis also became deeply involved with the Commercial League (forerunner of the Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce) and as its secretary wrote several newspaper articles promoting the town of Santa Clara.
Over the years, members of the Fatjo family also played a prominent role in Santa Clara 's banking industry, including Emily's uncle, Antonio V., cousin, Robert A. and brother Luis George Fatjo. Active in Santa Clara ' social life, when she married John Dowling, Emily Fatjo was described as "well and popularly known" in Santa Clara. At least three generations of members of the prominent Fatjo family, lived on this block, on property originally owned and developed by their ancestors and Emily (Amelie) Fatjo Dowling, the owner of this house, at 1053 Lexington Street, was one of them.
5. A building's direct association with broad patterns of local area history, including development and settlement patterns, early or important transportation routes or social, political , or economic trends and activities.
This home at 1053 Lexington Street was constructed to meet a need, which due to economic conditions had developed for affordable housing and especially affordable rental housing, mainly for migrant workers in the agriculture industry. This period saw many of these workers coming to Santa Clara where they could find jobs in the orchards, canneries and fruit-packing plants. However, most were not coming to settle and only needed housing for a short period of time, before they moved on to the next location. As a result, as a way to meet this need, where enough space existe(f small cottages were built on already developed lots, usually somewhere to the rear of the already existing main home. Sited on the lot, to the rear of the original main house, this small, 546 sq. ft. house was constructed circa 1935 to be an affordable rental property and has continuously been used as such.
The subject property does meet Criteria 1, 3 i nd 5 for Historically or Cultural Significance of the City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance. However, it does not meet Criteria 2 or 4 for Historically or Cultural Significance.
Criteria for Architectural Significance:
To be architecturally significant a property must meet at least one of the following criteria:
1. The property characterizes an architectural style associated with a particular era and/or ethnic group.
The residence at 1053 Lexington Street was designed and constructed circa 1935 in the in the side-gabled roof (commonly called Cape (Continued on page 11, Form 523L)

Cod) subtype of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. This style is associated with the period from 1935 to 1950. With the economic depression of the 1930s there rose an escalating need for affordable housing and, as a simple style Cape Cod homes proved the ideal form of construction to meet this need. Considered to be a no-frills version of earlier house styles, usually offering just two bedrooms and one bath, these were seen as inexpensive, small homes for small families. During the 1930's and early 1940's numerous articles promoting this architectural style appeared in popular publications across the county, pointing out they qualified for FHA loans. (From its creation in 1934, the FHA house building requirements limited the maximum sales price in order to keep the market open to all.)
Cape Cod dwellings have a symmetrical appearance with a slanted, side-gabled roof and a shallow roof overhang, narrow, horizontal, wood clapboard or shiplap sheathing and always have a double-hung window on each side of the entry door, all features of this property. Many homes were constructed in this architectural style in Santa Clara during the period of 1930s to 1950 but most have been highly altered over the years to meet modern needs. Although slightly altered in the rear of the east side-elevation by the early addition of a small wing (a not uncommon occurrence for Cape Cod houses) and the replacement of its doors, the majority of this architectural style's character-defining features remain and today the subject building still reflects its original architectural style. Today, this makes the property at 1053 Homestead Street a rare ar,chitectural style that characterizes the particular era in Santa Clara with which it is associated.
The subject property does meet Criterion 1 for Architectural Significance of the City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance.
However, it does not meet Criteria for Architectural Significance 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.
Criteria for Geographic Significance:
To be geographically significant a property must meet at least one of the following criteria:
1. A neighborhood, group or unique area directly associated with broad patterns of local area history.
The subject property is located in the area of the Old Quad where the larger lots were redeveloped to accommodate the growth that Santa Clara experienced in the first decades of the twentieth century, due to economic forces and the growth of the City's industries.
The historic residential properties in this area contribute to the historic setting that reflects the neighborhood's role in the broad patterns of Santa Clara's early development.
2. A building's continuity and compatibility with adjacent buildings and/or visual contribution to a group of similar buildings.
Constructed circa 1935 as a small Cape Cod residence, this house remains as an example of the smaller homes built in Santa Clara in the early twentieth century. It is representative of the development of this area of the Old Quad during the late 19th and early 20th century and is important to the integrity of the historic area in which it is located. Most of the homes on this block were constructed from 1885 to the early 1930s. This accounts for tlJ_.e continuity of the building styles in the neighborhood.
Currently, all of the homes on the 800 Washington Street block face (810, 826,844, 860 & 890), one on the 1000 Homestead Road block face (1044), as well as the Public Park (1098 Lexington Street, the "Former Mission Corral Site'; directly to the south of the Lexington Street block face, are listed on the ,pty of Santa Clear's list of Architecturally and/or Historically Significant Properties. The subject house at 1053 Lexington Street is the only home that was ever constructed facing Lexington Street on this block; the neighboring Lexington Street lots are the rear of the historic Washington and Homestead properties.
The subject property does meet Criterion 1 and 2 for Geographic Significance, of the City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance.
However, it does not meet Criteria for Geographic Significance 3 or 4.
Criteria for Archaeological Significance:
As the property at 1053 Lexington Street contains no known or unknown prehistoric or historic archaeological resources, it would not be (Continued on page 12, Form 523L)

Conclusions and Recommendations
Currently, this property is not on The City of Santa Clara Architecturally or Historically Significant Properties list. However, the property is over 50 years old and thus meets the age requirement and the evaluator finds 1053 Lexington Street to retain sufficient integrity to qualify as a historic property. It appears to be, based on compliance with the National Register of Historic Places Criteria , the California Register of Historic Resources Criteria and the City of Santa Clara's Local Significance Criteria, a "Qualified Historic Resource," eligible for listing on the City of Santa Clara Architecturally and/or Historically Significant Properties List.

1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships.
2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration offeatures, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will '
be avoided.
3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken.
4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used.
8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

Mills Act Historic Property Contract Application
Statement of Justification for Mills Act Historic Property Designation and Reassessment When I went looking for a house to call my own, I only looked at two houses. The first was at 750 Park Ct. Santa Clara. But with layoffs looming at my company, unfortunately, I had to let it slip away. As the economic outlook stabilized, I kept my radar on, uninspired by nearly everything offered until 1053 Lexington came on the market.
Two is an insanely low number of homes to see before you commit to the biggest purchase of your life.
But the truth of the matter was that I could not see myself in anything else otherwise void of the character endowed with a pre-WWII home.
The icing on top of the cake was the nearly unadulterated state of the house that befalls so many of the century homes in the Bay Area. Original double-hung wood windows, tear-drop siding, even the built-in ironing board!
1053 Lexington is a small, unassuming one-bedroom cottage, but she packs a lot of beauty in her 500 square feet. Having her designated a Mills Act Historic Property and provided property tax relief through reassessment will allow me to maintain the house in all her simple glory so that she may live another 100 years.
Legal Description
Exhibit A
Parcel B, as shown on that certain Map filed for record in the Office of the Recorder of the County of Santa Clara, State of California on December 21, 2000, in Book 735 of Maps, Page(s) 41.
APN: 269-28-075
ARB: 269-28-55-2
10 Year Plan
As she already remains true to much of her original creation, my plan for the next 10 years for 1053 Lexington is rather simplistic. I anticipate that over the course of the next 10 years, I will perform the following repairs and maintenance ahead of or as the need arises:
Year 1 Inspect and repair all windows for proper functioning and sealing Repair the weight and pulley system on one of the bedroom windows Year 2 Inspect and repair/replace any damaged interior trim work Year 3 Inspect and repair/replace any damaged living room, dining room, or bedroom flooring
Year 4 Repaint the interior of house
Year 5 Inspect and repair/replace any dry rot
Year 6 Inspect for termites and spot treat or tent as necessary Year 7 Repair/replace any damaged kitchen flooring, faucets, plumbing, counters and cabinetry
Year 8 Repair damage to bathtub finish and repair/replace and damaged bathroom tiling, flooring, faucets, plumbing, counters and cabinetry Year 9 Inspect and replace any damaged gutters
Inspect and replace roof as necessary
Year 10 Repaint the exterior of house
I respectfully submit for your consideration my application for Mills Act Historic Property Contract.
Sincerely,
Lily Chen
