MEMORANDUM ,F
April 22, 1993 '
�j
TO: Historic Preservation Commission
FROM: Jerry Grant, Building Official
SUBJECT: UNSAFE BUILDING AT 6527 ETIWA A AVE.
This memorandum is to inform the Historic Preservation Commission of the
scheduled demolition of the above referenced structure.
The property has been the subject of ongoing enforcement action by the
Building and Safety Division over a period of nearly two years. After
repeated attempts by the property owners to secure the property, and
subsequent reentry by unauthorized persons, the structure has been vandalized
to such an extent that it is unsafe and is a public nuisance under the Uniform
Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, Section 302, and the Uniform
Housing Code, Section 1001.
We have, likewise, received communication from the Fire Prevention Bureau that
the building and surrounding premises will become increasingly dangerous as
the dry season progresses.
The property has previously been historically surveyed as part of the Route 30
freeway study and the Planning staff has photographed, videotaped and measured
the structure, so there is a significant amount of historical documentation
available that is related to the site.
The contractor has, at our request, postponed demolition an additional two
weeks to allow time for the data gathering, but is currently scheduled to
begin Monday, May 3, 1993.
This building is not designated as a Landmark, and therefore not subject to
prior referral to the Historic Preservation Commission, however we are
utilizing this format to make the commission aware of the impending
demolition.
This issue has also been brought before the City Council 's Public Works and
Historic Preservation subcommittees and they have concurred with staff's
action in issuance of a demolition permit for removal of the building as a
hazard and public nuisance.

alterations from to origbW oonditlon:
The house U a large,two-story building with a medium hip roof;lt is very similar in design,scale and age with its
neighbor to the east,the Kemp house[Map Reference No.411. Although no date of constriction could be obtained,
the house appears to have been built just after the tum of the century. The roof has triangular attic vents on the
east and west slopes,and two'cast atone'concrete block chimneys aro placed near the crest;a third chimney of
similar material is on the rear slope of the roof. The eaves are open.with projecting rafter ends. The house is
sheathed in 24ap drop siding,and has a slanted bay with three windows on the ground floor of the south elevation.
The house has a symmetrioal facade,with the second story consisting of a central pair of double hung windows,
which appear to have provided access to the upper level porch,flanked by two sets of double-hung windows with
simple surrounds. The main entrance is centered in the lower level,with the doorway flanked by single,wide 1/1
double-hung windows. The major alteration is the loss of an impressive,full-width front porch,which covered the
ground floor.and had an encWing railing creating a balcony above. lt was supported by four turned goats,and had
a wood floor,it lead no railing on the lower level.and was scoessed by single steps in the center and on the sides.
It has been replaced by three hipped canopies over the front windows and door. At the rear,a one story addition
projects eastward;it has i low gable roof,and was made prior to 1936,as It appears on an aerial photo taken that
year. Other alterations Include the loss of historic outbuildings and the removal of the surrounding citrus grove.
There are no other features on the property except the eucalyptus windbreaks.

the Etiwanda Fruft Company(Hickaox, p. 243), and was active in the promotion of the tical citrus industry. By 1908,
he was president of the Etiwanda Citrus Association'two years later, he was serving as vice-president of the
organization, now renamed the Etiwanda Citrus Fruit Growers Association. By 1914, he was president of the
Etiwanda Foothill Citrus Association. He appears to have been a major citrus grower in the community, having
owned several 1 o-wo parcels;county records show assessments In the three and four thousand dollar range for
his orchards from 1917 to 1923. It is likely he built his large horse from the proceeds of his early successes in the
citrus industry. The property remained in his ownership until 1925,when it was transferred to Harold

The house was the home of a Prominent local citrus grower and his family. C. Newton Ross appears to have made
node conUbj ions to local history, especially with regard to the citrus industry. The house, however, has been
substantially altered from his period of association with k, having lost a major character-defining element,the large,
elegant front porch;Its replacement by three triangular canopy over the ground floor windows and doors further
detract from the appearance as Ross would have known the house. Also, an unattractive rear addition has been
