The house is a listed historic resource by the City of Santa Clara.
Photo from the 1981 Historic Resource Inventory sheet, photo da ted April 1979.
The inventory form states that the house is significant for its “architectural style, the typical house style of the 1890s an d turn-of- the-century in Santa Clara.”
The house has an estimated construction date of 1890 making it 134 years old. There is no original building permit. The house is an example of the late 19th-century Queen Anne style. It has the identifying features of the Queen Anne style that was popular from 1880 to 1910: steeply pitched roof of irregular shape, usually with dominate front facing gable, patterned shingles, cut away bay window, and asymmetrical facade with full or partial width porch. (Virginia Savage McAlester, A Field Guide to American Houses, New York: Alfed Knopf, 2005, page 345).
The property meets the criteria for inclusion on the historic registry under Section 8.9.2 of the City of Santa Clara General Plan Criteria for Local Significance for being more than 50 years old and for its architectural significance as an “architectural style associated with a particular era and/or ethnic group,” i.e., era of Queen Anne style houses. The property also retains its hi storic integrity.
The property retains all seven aspects of integrity: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and associat ion. The property has not been moved, the design is unaltered, the residential setting is largely unchanged, the materials and workman ship are unchanged, and the feeling and association of a residential neighborhood is unchanged State of California ⎯ The Resources Agency Primary #
