BACKGROUND fel A. Historical Significance: The Henderson family owned the land and structures at 'k, 5938 Etiwanda Avenue from the time the house was built in 1919 until September 2002, when the applicant, David Skolnick, purchased the property. Historically, the Henderson family has owned land in the Etiwanda area since 1877, purchasing this property sometime prior to 1920. The original owner of this property, Fred Henderson, was not actively involved in the community. Fred and his wife Theodosius built the house circa 1919 for their own use as a residence. They both resided in the house until the 1930s, when Fred passed away. Theodosius then continued to live in the home, and was later joined by her new husband, Harold Orr. B. Site Characteristics: The house sits on a 0.51-acre parcel, containing a north and south garage, a storage building, and the house itself. The land use designation of the site and the surrounding area is Very-Low Residential (0-2 dwelling per acre). ANALYSIS A. General: The house is a one and one-half story structure built on a raised concrete foundation, the structure is rectangular in plan with an enclosed patio addition, two small rear additions, and a side addition. A hipped asphalt composition roof caps the main unit and the additions. A stucco covering sheaths the original river rock structure, while the additions are entirely stucco with wood frame (Exhibit "A"). The house was originally representative of the rock masonry architecture popular in the early 1900's; however, the stucco enclosure and numerous additions have resulted in a structure that does not relate to a particular architectural style. Because of the stucco - sheathing, details of the original house are not visible other than a small section west o the chimney where some original river rock can be seen (Exhibit "B"). ITEM "All HISTORIC PRESERVATION STAFF REPORT SKOLNICK RESIDENCE March 26, 2003 Page 2 Fred Henderson built the north garage circa 1930, and in 1933 enclosed the patio using a wood frame with stucco construction. In 1943 Harold Orr encased the entire house with stucco and constructed the storage building located south of the house. In 1945, Mr. Orr added the south garage. All three buildings were built with wood frame and stucco (Exhibit "C"). Because of the number and extent of additions and alterations, the integrity of the house has not remained intact. Little of the original character of the home is discernible. B. Landmark Designation: The subject site and structure do not qualify for landmark designation based upon the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance. The original structure, minus the additions and alterations, might have qualified. However, because much of the original architecture and materials have been lost to alterations, the structure no longer qualifies as a local landmark. Although the Fred Henderson family resided in Etiwanda for many years, Fred and Theodosius were not particularly active members of the community and did not have a significant role in the history of Etiwanda. C. Environmental Assessment: The project is categorically exempt under Class 1.d of the guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act. FACTS FOR FINDING: A. Historical and Cultural Significance: Finding 1: The proposed landmark is not particularly representative of an historical period, type, style, region, or way of life. Facts: The original house was built as a residence, but numerous alterations have caused a loss of historic integrity. Fred Henderson did participate in some citrus farming, but the land and property were not great contributors to the citrus industry. Finding 2: The proposed landmark is not an example of a type of building that was once common but is now rare. Facts: Stucco is a common feature of houses in this area, and the building itself does not represent a particular style of architecture that was common. Finding 3: The proposed landmark is of greater age than most of its kind. Facts: The structure is approximately 84 years old, although major alterations occurred in 1930, 1933, and 1943. Finding4: The proposed landmark was not connected with someone renowned or important or a local personality. Facts: Although the Henderson's lived in the area for many years, the Fred Henderson family was not active in the community. Finding 5: The proposed landmark is not connected with a business or use, which was once common but is now rare. A,a HISTORIC PRESERVATION STAFF REPORT SKOL.NICK RESIDENCE March 26, 2003 Page 3 Factls: Fred Henderson grew citrus for a short period of time, but he is not known for this and the land itself was not used for any type of business. B. Historic Architectural and Engineering Significance. Findin 1: The construction materials or engineering methods used in the proposed landmark are not unusual, significant, or uniquely effective. Facts: The original river rock building may have been significant, but the stucco structure with additions is not unusual or significant. Findin 2: The overall effect of the design of the proposed landmark is not particularly beautiful, and its details and materials are not beautiful or unusual. Facts: Because of the stucco and alterations, it cannot be determined whether the house and its details were once a beautiful. C. Neighborhood and Geographic Setting. Findin1: The proposed landmark does not materially benefit the historic character of the neighborhood. Facts: Although Etiwanda Avenue has many historic residences, this particular building has lost all historic integrity, and therefore, landmark designation would not improve the historic character of the area. CORRESPONDENCE: The staff report with the recommendation that the Henderson House is not eligible for local landmark status, and not considered historically significant, was sent to the property owner and the Etiwanda Historical Society. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission concur with the staff recommendation through minute action that the site and structures be identified on historic inventory as surveyed determined insignificant and therefore not a significant cultural resource.

Related file: Landmark Designation DRC2003-00469. BACKGROUND A. Historical Si nificance: The residence at 9475 La Vine Street was built in approximately 1925 by Jewitt and Blair Builders. The Clayton family purchased the home after Mr. Clayton and his son participated in its building through their employment with Jewitt and Blair. Bill Clayton also moved onto La Vine Street a few years after his parents. The Clayton family owned the home until 1931, when it was repossessed by Cucamonga Mortgage Company. The Mortgage Company rented the house to the Claytons from 1932 until 1935. The Claytons moved into another home in 1935, after which Charles "Ed" and Elsie Hogancamp purchased the home from the Mortgage Company. The Hogancamp's owned the home and property from 1935 until 2003. The Hogancamp family purchased the residence from Cucamonga Mortgage Company in 1935' The Hogancamps were active within the Alta Loma community, with Mr. Hogancamp being Postmaster of Alta Loma from 1933 to 1968 and Fire Chief from 1934 until 1965. He also helped build the original fire hall and was a charter member of the Alta Loma - Cucamonga Lions Club. Both Ed and Elsie were involved in a local card club from the early 1930's until the 1940's, which included Bill Clayton, the son of the t original owners of the home, and other Alta Loma families such as the Allens and the Billings. ITEMS A & B HISTORIC PRESERVATION STAFF REPORT DRC2003-00469 AND DRC2003-00485 - PITTENGER June 11, 2003 Page 2 B. Site Characteristics: The house sits on a 0.15-acre parcel, containing a small two-car garage and the house itself. The land use zoning of the site and the surrounding area is designated Low Residential (2-4 dwellings per acre). ANALYSIS A. General: This dwelling from the late 1920's is rectangular in shape with a front-gabled roofline. The one-story, wood-frame structure is covered with 3-inch lapped vinyl horizontal siding. Resting on a raised concrete foundation, it is roofed with composition shingles. The facade is arranged symmetrically; with the front door flanked by palladian- grouped windows each consisting of a 3/1 fixed window and two narrower 311 casement windows. ' The front porch suggests Craftsman detailing in its offset front-gable roof supported by wood square tapering columns resting on lapped-wood sided piers. Decorative attic vents of vertical slats grace the gables. The house is representative of vernacular bungalow architecture, with a touch of Craftsman design influence, evident in the architecture of the front porch. The garage is built in a similar style, although it is constructed of brick and built on a solid concrete foundation. The date the garage was constructed is unknown. B. Landmark Designatlon: The subject site and structure certainly qualify for landmark designation based upon much of the criteria from the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance, including such significant areals e cultural, significance ua e concerning neighborhood, and geographic setting. Details g these areas contained in the Facts for Findings section. The requested designation area includes the subject lot, residence, and garage (Exhibit "B"). C. Mills"Act Agreement: In accordance with City policy, the owner has requested a Mills Act Agreement. The Agreement Schedule List of Improvements has been drafted and reviewed and is attached for reference (Exhibit "C"). The concept of the Mills Act program is to provide an incentive for the property owner to protect and preserve the property by retaining its characteristics of historical significance. This intent is encouraged through the reduction of property taxes, thus enabling the property owner to reinvest the money saved from the reduced property tax on improvements. The properties that enter into the agreement are to be inspected by City staff on an annual basis to determine whether notable progress has been made in rehabilitating the property. Staff estimates the property tax savings to the owner could be as much as $1,860.00 annually. The exact amounts are dependent upon the County Assessor's property valuation, which is based on income potential and capitalization rate at the time of assessment. D. Environmental Assessment: The project is categorically exempt under Section 15331 as a Class 31 exemption of the guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act. � a HISTORIC PRESERVATION STAFF REPORT DRC2003-00469 AND DRC2003-00485 - P117ENGER June 11, 2003 Page 3 FACTS FOR FINDING: A. Historical and Cultural Significance: Finding-1: The proposed landmark is particularly representative of an historical period, type, style, region or way of life. F The property is an excellent example of the residences surrounding the original Alta Loma business district. Finding 2: The proposed landmark is an example of a type of building that was once common but is now rare. Facts: Vernacular bungalow was once a common architectural style, but few homes have remained in such pristine condition. Findin 3: The proposed landmark is of greater age than most of its kind. Facts: The structure is approximately 78 years old with no major alterations. Findin 4: The proposed landmark was connected with someone renowned or important or a local personality. Facts: Both the Clayton and Hogancamp families were instrumental in the evolution of the town of Alta Loma. Ed Hogancamp is an especially important Ibcal personality due to his extensive role as both Postmaster of Alta Loma and Alta Loma Fire Chief. B. Historic Architectural and Engineering Significance: Finding 1: The construction materials or engineering methods used in the proposed landmark are unusual, significant or uniquely effective. Facts: The offset gable front porch with wooden pillars is unique architecture. Findin 2: The overall effect of the design of the proposed landmark is particularly beautiful, and its details and materials are beautiful or unusual. Facts: The house has retained its beauty, and the architecture of the front porch remains somewhat unusual. C. Neighborhood and Geographic Setting: Findin 1: The proposed landmark materially benefits the historic character of the neighborhood.

LANDMARK ALTERATION PERMIT DRC2003-00103 - KB HOME -A request to relocate the Bartholow Home to a lot on Etiwanda Avenue, south of its current location, in conjunction with the development of Tentative Tract Map SUB1716454, and make minor exterior alterations, located at 12951 Base Line Road -APN: 1100-011-01. BACKGROUND A. Historical Significance: The property is a reminder of the citrus growing and packing industry that was prevalent in Etiwanda in the early settlement years. The early 1900s was a time of great growth for the community of Etiwanda. With the formation of the Etiwanda Fruit Company in 1893, Etiwanda continued to blossom, literally, because citrus in the area was the major crop. The original owner of the structure, F. L. and Clara Bartholow, were charter members and shareholders of the Etiwanda Fruit Company. The 10 acre property at 12951 Base Line Road played an important role in the history of Etiwanda. It housed some of the area's important families, such as the Wood family and the Frost family. The residence at 12951 Base Line Road was built in 1908. By 1921 when the property changed hands, it contained 1,200 citrus fruit trees. Mr. Bartholow packed fruit under the "Quail" packing label. The next owners were Charles and Gertrude Wood. They were involved in the formation of the Etiwanda community. Mr. Woods' involvement began in 1892 when he acquired a small interest with a partner in Henderson Canyon, and claimed the water rights. These water rights were later sold to the Etiwanda Water Company and were crucial to the early growth of the community. The Riley family owned the property from 1934 to 1947, and increased the number of citrus trees to 2,270. Mr. Riley produced fruit for the California Fruit Growers Exchange (today known as Sunkist). B. Site Characteristics: The house sits on a 10 acre parcel at the southeast corner of Base Line Road and Etiwanda Avenue, surrounded by mature trees, and with the remnants of a ITEMS "B" & "C" HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION STAFF REPORT LANDMARK DESIGNATION DRC2003-00102 July 9, 2003 Page 2 once great citrus grove and a few Eucalyptus windrows. The land use zoning of the site and the surrounding area is designated Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwellings per acre). The property is relatively flat and gently slopes to the south. ANALYSIS A. General: This 1-1h story dwelling from the early 1900s is rectangular in shape with rear and side additions. The house sits on a 10 acre property. A large, four-window shed dormer, with diamond-shaped window mullions, that rests atop the front (north) elevation was added between 1934 and 1947 to make a dormitory for the five girls in the Riley family to sleep. Two smaller shed dormers with diamond-shaped window mullions, exist on the rear (south) elevation. An open veranda extends the full width of the homes' front elevation on the first floor. The veranda's roof is supported by large, round wooden pillars. A narrow shiplap siding sheaths a wood-framed structural system. The raised basement is faced with red brick on the front, shiplap siding on the sides, and acts as a base for the veranda. Representative of several architectural trends, this house incorporates prominent details from both the Craftsman Bungalow and Colonial Revival styles. Most notable among its design accents are the dormer; the fan light perched above the front door, and the door's glass side panels. A secondary structure on the side and rear are additions circa 1950. The unit is landscaped and generously setback from the street. The integrity of the house is intact, with the only alterations being the addition of the dormer and the very large, flat- roofed carport/patio cover erected at the rear. A detached ranch style caretaker's cottage built circa 1950 lies to the southeast. It is the only home of it's kind in the immediate neighborhood. B. Landmark Designation: The structure certainly qualifies for landmark designation based upon much of the criteria from the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance, including such significant areas as, historical, cultural, architectural, neighborhood, and geographic setting. Details concerning these areas of significance are contained in the Facts for Findings section. C. Landmark Alteration: The owner has requested approval to make exterior changes to the Bartholow Home, particularly removal of features that were not original. The most significant change would be the relocation of the home to a new lot, to be created by the proposed Tentative Tract 16454 (Exhibit "A"). Staff recommends that the home be plotted with the front veranda facing Etiwanda Avenue as required by the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District (not as shown in Exhibit "C"). Another significant change would be demolition of the carport/patio cover. A new, detached garage will be built to serve the home. Other proposed alterations include replacement of the glazing in the three, 3-foot by 8400t windows at the rear with glazing consistent with the architectural style. In addition, the conditions of approval include the installation of a bronze plaque and mailbox denoting the Historic Landmark status of the property. For a detailed list of alterations, refer to Exhibit "E." D. Environmental Assessment: The project is categorically exempt under Section 15331 as a Class 31 exemption of the guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act. 2),c. a HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION STAFF REPORT LANDMARK DESIGNATION DRC2003-00102 July 9, 2003 Y Page 3 FACTS FOR FINDING: A.

We request a Landmark Alteration Permit for this home for the following reasons: 1. The existing structure is a single-family, two-story house. 2. The structure is currently located within the proposed ROW of "H" Street in Tract 16454. The structure will be moved to lot 62 within the tract. This corner lot is larger that the other single-family lots within the tract with an approximate lot size of 19,331 square feet. The house will face Etiwanda Avenue and will be across "En Street from an existing single-family, two-story structure build in the early 1900's. These two "historic" residences would frame the entrance into the tract off Etiwanda Avenue. The lot size provides adequate separation from the new single-family homes to be built on adjacent lots within the tract. 3. The height of the structure's raised foundation will be maintained. Brick veneer will cover the concrete block stem walls of the crawl space as is it does currently. 4. The raised porch foundation will be rebuilt at the new location. The porch's current wood floor system covered with a deck coating will be replaced with a concrete slab to protect the structure from water infiltration. The existing porch columns as well as the other`ashes will be repaired and painted. 8 HOME GREATER LOS GELES INC. 801 CORPORATE CENTER DRIVE I SUITE 201 I POA{ONA, CA 91768 June 2, 2003 Page 2 a. The covered patio and carport at the present location will be demolished. A new two or three-car garage with access off of "En Street will be built with similar materials and the same architectural style as the residence. 6. Front yard landscaping and block garden walls enclosing the rear yard will be installed consistence with the requirements of the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District. 7. The exterior of the house will be repaired and painted. The three fixed glass windows in the rear of the house maybe replaced with windows more in keeping with architectural style of the structure. The iron bars on the windows and exterior doors will be removed. 8.

BACKGROUND A. _Historical Significance: Herbert Goerlitz, a member of a noted Alta Loma family, built the residence at 9893 Highland Avenue in 1926. His father, Ernest Goerlitz, was director of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York until he retired because of poor health in the early 1900s. After retiring, he brought his wife and two sons, Edgar and Herbert, and purchased the former Thorpe residence on Hellman Avenue in 1910. Ernest Goerlitz was active in local affairs as the Secretary of the Citizens` League of Alta Loma and was part of the committee which was instrumental in bringing the Pacific Electric Railway to the area in 1913. After the death of Mr. Goerlitz in 1916, his widow and sons continued to occupy the residence on Hellman Avenue. Herbert married in approximately 1920, and purchased the subject property as two 5 acre lots early in 1926. The property contained citrus groves at the time Herbert and his wife Evelyn made the purchase. The house was built on the property the same year of the purchase. A county assessment showed a $500 improvement from 1926 to 1927, implying that the house was relatively small and did not increase in size until additions were made a decade later. The new stone house was built with the help of Charles Stoebe and his sons. The Stoebe's hauled the stone used for the home in from adjacent land. The design of the house was based upon that of the early California ranchos, and is often described as Mission style in the local community. - Another house was built on the south side of the property for Herbert's mother, and is now separated from the original property. In 1934, the entire 10 acre property was sold to Ellen C. Van Every, also known as Ellen Loeb. The Edwin Loeb family occupied the property for approximately 20 years. Ellen Loeb eventually moved into the smaller house on the Highland Avenue side of the property. ITEM A HISTORIC PRESERVATION STAFF REPORT DRC2003-00648--CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA July 23, 2003 Page 2 During the 1970s Richard and Freida Wilkins acquired the property, which they modified for use as a wedding facility. Landscaping and a restroom facility were added while repairs were made to some of the existing low brick retaining walls. CalTrans purchased the property from the Wilkins for the SR-210 extension, and has requested the City of Rancho Cucamonga initiate an application to designate the residence and contributing features a local landmark under the direction of the State Historical Preservation Office. B. Site Characteristics: The house sits on a 1.02 acre parcel, containing the larger Goerlitz house and the smaller guesthouse. The land use zoning of the site and the surrounding area is designated Low Residential (2-4 dwellings per acre). ANALYSIS A. General: The house is a one-story building, originally rectangular in plan, with a low-gabled clay the roof. It appears to have had major additions approximately 1937, which created its present irregular shape. The thick stonewalls are composed of roughly squared granitic fieldstone set in a thick mortar, which partially covers the exterior surface of the stone. The deeply set, narrow casement windows have concrete slip sills, with wooden architraves above. The main entrance is in the western gable end, accessed from the arbor and patio with large concrete "flagstone" paving. An exterior stone fireplace chimney projects from the north wall of the house. Additions extend the building to the east in compatible materials and styling; a narrow, shed-roofed, T-shaped addition steps down slightly from the main rectangular mass of the original house. A large flat-roofed addition extends south from the southwest corner of the house. These later shed-roofed additions on the south have rough plaster walls rather than the stone of the older sections. Based on the most recent California Department of Parks and Recreation survey forms completed by CalTrans staff, the Goerlitz home, garage, swimming pool, stone retaining walls, and mature landscaping are requested to be designated Historical Landmarks. The restroom building and fountain are not contributing factors to the historical integrity of the Goerlitz residence and therefore do not qualify for designation. The three-car garage was built in the period between 1926 and 1937 in a Spanish Colonial Revival theme with white stucco walls and a red tile roof. The garage contributes to the rancho style of the Goerlitz residence and property. The swimming pool was built in the 1950's in the same area as a reservoir that was used to irrigate the citrus trees that once surrounded the property. The State Historical Officer is being contacted for a determination as to the significance of the swimming pool. CalTrans prefers to demolish the pool rather than repair and rehabilitate it. The river rock retaining walls on the north, south, and west sides of the residence were built between 1926 and 1937 and add to the historical integrity of the Goerlitz home. The retaining walls have retained their beauty and craftsmanship. HISTORIC PRESERVATION STAFF REPORT DRC2003-00648—CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA July 23, 2003 Page 3 B. Landmark Designation: The subject structures and landscaping certainly qualify for landmark designation based upon much of the criteria from the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance, including such significant areas as; historical, cultural, architectural, and neighborhood and geographic setting. Details concerning these areas of significance are contained in the Facts for Findings section. The requested designation area includes the Goerlitz residence, garage, swimming pool, stone retaining walls, and mature landscaping including an Oak tree adjacent to the Freeway. C. Landscape and Condition of Pro ert : The landscaping used throughout the property is important to the historical value of the Goerlitz property. Landscaping contributing to the historical integrity of the home include the ivy vines covering the Pergolas on the north and west sides of the residence, and the mature Palm, Pine, Elm, and Oak trees located throughout the property. The mature landscaping has been on the property for many decades and contributes to the original landscaping intentions. Because of the SR210/30 freeway construction, the Goerlitz property has lost much of its historical integrity. The property size has been reduced from 4.4 acres to 1.02 acres because of the loss of the citrus grove on the property to the freeway right-of-way. Also, the Goerlitz home has not been used as a residence since the 1970's, as it was converted to a commercial wedding facility. The conversion resulted in several additions to the property such as the restroom building and in-fill landscaping that do not contribute to the Goerlitz property's historical value. During freeway construction and while under State control, the residence and surrounding elements have fallen into a state of disrepair, necessitating repair/replacement to the exterior walls, doors, windows, roof, and landscaping. D. Environmental Assessment: The project is categorically exempt under Section 15331 as a Class 31 exemption of the guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act. FACTS FOR FINDING: A. Historical and Cultural Significance: Finding 1: The proposed landmark is particularly representative of an historical period, type, style, region or way of life. Facts: The residence is an excellent example of stone construction using local river rock materials. The property also represents the citrus industry of Alta Loma. Finding_2: The proposed landmark is an example of a type of building that was once common but is now rare. Factls: Stone construction was once popular in the Alta Loma area, but is becoming rare. Also, the Craftsman/California rancho architecture is unique. Finding 3: The proposed landmark is of greater age than most of its kind. c Fact/s: The residence is 77 years old. Findin 4: The proposed landmark was connected with someone renowned or important or a local personality. HISTORIC PRESERVATION STAFF REPORT DRC2003-00648— CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA July 23, 2003 Page'4 Factls: The Goerlitz family was instrumental in the evolution of the town of Alta Loma through Ernest's active participation in bringing the Pacific Electric railroad to the area. The family was also active in the local social circles. B. Historic Architectural and Engineering Significance: Finding 1: The construction materials or engineering methods used in the proposed landmark are unusual, significant or uniquely effective.

His father,Ernest Goerlitz,was director of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York;when he retired due to ill health in the early 1900s, he brought his wife and two sons, Edgar and Herbert to California. The family purchased the former Thorpe residence on Heilman Avenue about 19io. Emest Goerlitz was active in local affairs as the Secretary of the Citizens' League of Alta Loma and was part of the committee which was instrumental in bringing the Pacific Electric Railway to the area in 1913. The family home was often visited by luminaries in the performing arts. After the death of Mr.Goerlitz in 1916,his widow and sons continued to occupy the family residence on Hellman Avenue.

Description (continued from page 1 of 30 pages) The thick stone walls are composed of roughly-squared granitic fieldstone set in a thick mortar,which partially covers the exterior surface of the stone. The deeply set,narrow casement windows have concrete slipsills,with wooden architraves above. The main entrance is in the western gable end,accessed from the spacious,arbor and patio with large concrete "flagstone"paving. A long pergola spans the entire north side of the building and extends west along the arbor to the parking lot;wrapped in large, old vines,this forms a picturesque main entrance to the house. An exterior stone fireplace chimney projects from the north wall of the house. Additions extend the building to the east in compatible materials and styling;a narrow,shed-roofed,T-shaped additions steps down slightly from the main rectangular mass of the original house. it,in turn, appears to have been enlarged on the south with several smaller,shed-roofed sections containing large banks of south- facing windows. A similar,,shed roofed sun porch has been appended to the south side of the main house. A large flat- roofed addition extends south from the southwest comer of the house; it is totally covered with vines and contributes to the picturesque quality of the house. These later shed-roofed additions on the south have rough plaster walls, rather than the stone of the older sections. The house is surrounded by lawns,terraces, and mature vegetation. At the rear,a fountain is accompanied by a wooden- lath gazebo and a Spanish-styled wishing shrine. These features appear to be later,and were probably constructed as part of the wedding chapel operation. On the north,a small stucco restroom building s placed atop a low brick terrace above the lawn,and a modem,modular caretaker's house is hidden in the trees beyond. At the end of the driveway,west of the house, is a three-car garage in Spanish Colonial Revival styling with white stucco wails and a red tile roof. The front of the property is occupied by a citrus grove,which extends all the way to Highland Avenue;to the rear,a new housing tract is located beyond the wall which marks the property line. The house,with its stone construction,arbors,pergolas and lush vegetation, has a strong picturesque, romantic quality appropriate to its current use as a wedding chapel. Although a direct connection is not known,the house bears a strong resemblance to Clyde Browne's Abbey San Encino,a stone Mission Revival fortress in Highland Bark,built from 1909-1925;it was known as a gathering place of the southern California literati during the early par of the century, and may have served as inspiration for this design. B10. Significance(continued from page 2 of 30 pages) wife,Evelyn,purchased the subject property as two five-acre lots early in 1926;the property was purchased from George W. Alen,who had acquired it in 1923 from Kate Motsinger. At the time Herbert and Evelyn Goerlitz purchased the property,it was being taxed only for"trees/vines"(probably citrus) on the south lot; no improvements were shown. However,the following year,a$500.improvement was first taxed on the south lot;this suggests the original stone house was constructed later in 1926. The relatively small assessment reflects the smaller size of the original house,which appears to have had a major,but compatible,stone addition about a decade later. The new stone house was located on top of a hill,approximately equidistant between 191h Street and Highland Avenue. in The History of Alta Loma,the author notes that"Charles Stoebe and his sons hauled rock for weeks for the walls of Herbert's house,which are over a foot thick;these rocks came from rook piles nearby,the result of clearing adjacent land"(Stoebe, p. 67). The design of the house was based upon that of the early California ranchos,and is often described as"Mission style"in the local community; it also continues a local tradition of building in field stone,and has some overtones of Craftsman design integrated with the Hispanic elements. It has interesting, but undocumented,similarities in design and cultural context to Clyde Browne's artist retreat,Abbey San Encino,built in suburban Los Angeles,a decade earlier. Another house was built on the south side of the property for Herbert's mother,although it does not appear as a separate entry in the assessor's records. The citrus grove was expanded in 1928,according to assessment figures;a 1930 aerial photograph shows a grove occupying the southern five-acre lot,while the north lot was not yet planted. In June 1936,the north lot was still bare,but two years later, a young grove could be seen in the photos;since assessment rolls show this grove was first taxed in 1937. [County records show no assessment for the grove in assessment years 1938, 1939,and 1940,with taxation resuming in 1941. This suggests the new grove may have been a casualty of the big freeze in 1937, which seriously damaged the citrus industry in Southern California; it is possible the faint outlines of trees shown in the 1938 photo may actually be those of young,dead trees destroyed by the freeze. If this is the case,the present grove was probably not replanted until 1940.] In the 1949 photos,the north grove had reached maturity, and south grove had been removed.

Significance(continued from page 3 of 30 pages) In 1934 the entire 10-acre property was sold to Ellen C.Van Every,also known as Ellen Loeb. She and her ex-husband were said to have been involved with the movie industry,but it appears she was already retired when she bought this property. In 1937,an improvement was first taxed on the north lot;this must have been the house at 9911 Highland Avenue,which was later separated from the original property by subdivision of this lot. The figures for assessment year 1938 show a major increase in the value of the improvement of the south lot, increasing$1950.above the previous assessment of$750;this suggests the major expansion of the stone house occurred in 1937. The History of Alta Loma notes that the Edwin Loeb family occupied the property for about 20 years after the 1930s purchase. Ellen Loeb eventually moved into the smaller house on the Highland Avenue side of the property. The south lot sold sometime after 1949,but the northernmost portion containing the stone house was retained and combined with the north lot. The house at 9911 Highland Avenue was split off onto a separate lot in 1948. The stone house was acquired by the current owners,who began operating it as a wedding chapel about the mid-1970s. The Goerlitz house is an exception example of local stone construction. While part of an established_ vernacular tradition of stone construction in the region,this house shows a high level of sophistication in its execution,and successfully merges Craftsman and California rancho design into a picturesque statement of early 20"century architecture. The original character was carefully maintained during the 1937 expansion of the house,which skillfully matched materials and craftsmanship to create an addition,which is almost imperceptible. Subsequent additions, located at the side and rear, use newer materials, but have been softened considerably by the growth o vegetation;they do not detract from the overall character and feeling of the property. The house appears to meet National Register criterion C at the local level of significance. 6 g DPR 523B(1195) 'Required information State of California—The Resources Agency Primary DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# CONTINUATION PAGE Pages Of CONTINUATION *Resource Name or#(assigned by recorder): Goerlit'z House *Recorded by Aaron A.Gallup "Date 2/21119B9 0continuation ❑Update Par.

Description The following is updated information,which should be included in the evaluation of the Goerfitz property,determined eligible under Criterion C as a significant example of a"Mission Revival Style"for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (SHPO Concurrence, March 5, 1990): The one-story house(located on APN 1076-051-03),originally rectangular(75'x 28') in plan,was constructed of walls of poured-in-place concrete faced on the exterior with rough irregular stones. The stones have been partially troweled over with a coarsely applied cement mortar,so only portions of the stones are visible. The house has a low-gabled roof of grouted clay tiles with overhanging eaves and exposed rafter beams. Pergolas span the(N)elevation(116'x 12')and (W) elevation (24'x 16'). The large wooden beams,supporting the pergolas are set on low brick walls with concrete caps at the attachment points. The pergola has been repaired(probably major repairs in the early 1970s). It appears from the size and mass of the ivy vines that cover the pergola that this has been part of the landscape for decades. In 1937,a 40-foot addition to the(E)elevation was constructed with compatible materials with the original 1926 section of the building.Also,at that time a 25-foot addition was made off the(S)elevation on the west side of the building, utilizing the same building materials.This building has a shed roof.Subsequent additions to the(S)elevation were constructed with less compatible materials and workmanship. The (S)elevation additions have shed roofs with grouted clay tile.The additions are wood framed covered with stucco.One addition is wood frame with overlapping horizontal wooden boards. All of the additions have multiple south-facing windows. There are deep-set, narrow casement windows with concrete sills on the(N),(E), and(W)elevations. There are two (2)double door entrances with multiple glass panes on the(N)elevation. The west entrance,patio double doors with glass panes,was used as the main entrance during the period when the house was used as a wedding facility. A Spanish Colonial Revival style three-car garage, located in the southwest part of the present-day property line dates to the period of significance, 1926-1937. The building was constructed of a wood frame covered with stucco. The low gabled roof is covered with grouted clay tiles. The only patio areas,which appear to be from the period of significance are the "flagstone"-etched concrete areas, west and north of the house beneath the pergolas.There is a small area of the "flagstone"concrete still present in the northwest patio area. In the 1970s,the current owners converted the grassy areas (1940s),north of the house into patio areas of poured concrete and brick planter beds. The low-brick walls (some have been repaired)appear to be part of earlier hardscape for the property. The low brick wall extends from the north patio area,east to the patio area of the swimming pool (ca. 1950s),and around the large mature oak tree. There are several other mature specimens of trees around the eastern edge and southern edge of the concrete decked swimming pool area. According to a recollection by a friend of a previous owner of the property,the swimming pool is now in the same area where a concrete-fined reservoir was located. The reservoir was used to irrigate the citrus grove. A 1949 aerial map, showing the property indicates the presence of a reservoir in the same area as the present- day swimming pool (c.early 1950s). A concrete and tile fountain (date unknown,damaged)and water fountain (date unknown)are located on the south side of the house. On the southern property boundary there are mature pine trees and other shrubbery. Rock&concrete steps and low rock walls lead to an entry gate(date unknown)constructed of wood frame with rock and concrete walls. There is a tile-covered gabled roof area over the gate.The entry way has been concealed with a solid wooden gate(not original).

Description(con't) In the 1970s,the present owners Richard and Freida Wilkins acquired the 4.38 parcel. It appears the property was not purchased for use as a residence. After major alterations to the interior of the house and modifications and additions made to the grounds,the property was used as a wedding facility, El Rancho Grande Wedding Chapel. A brick and concrete patio area was extended north from the house(formerly grassy areas)and a restroom building (wood frame with stucco)was constructed northeast of the house.An octagonal concrete foundation with wooden gazebo was constructed at the southeast comer of the house. Wooden lattice fencing was added throughout the property. It appears that repairs were made to some of the existing the low brick retaining walls. Also,the pergola, north and west of the house was repaired. The Wilkins added landscaping to the property. Although there was still a partial citrus grove fronting Highland Avenue, landscaping was added closer to the house. Roses,ornamental citrus, and other shrubbery were added in the planter areas. A variety of plants,shrubs,and trees were introduced into the existing landscape. The house still retained the mature ivy vines on the pergolas adjacent to the building. (See Map 1) The overall function and appearance of the Goerlitz property changed from its period of significance, 1926-1936. The house was no longer used as a residence with adjacent citrus groves. Functioning as a business,the property operated as a wedding facility until the mid-1990s. Landscape The original 10 acres,owned by the Goeditz family from 1926 to 1934 has changed over time.When Goeditz purchased the property,the southern portion of the property(Lot 6)was planted in citrus. During Ellen C.Van Every(Ellen Loeb)ownership,a citrus grove on the northern portion of the property(Lot 5)was planted by the mid-1930s. There is no evidence to indicate that any planned landscape was designed for this property during the period of significance. However, there are remaining examples of mature landscaping on the property today that indicate that they could date to the period of significance. For example,there are mature oak,elm palm,and pine trees on the property as well as mature ivy vines, covering the pergolas adjacent to the north and west elevations of the house. It is assumed that some kind of vines covered the pergolas to provide shade. There was a transition period for the property from the late 1940s to the 1970s. The property was no longer primarily a citrus grove. By 1949,an aerial photograph indicates that the south grove was removed. Also,by this time the southern portion of the property was sold and the present-day parcel configuration of 4.38 acres was established. The swimming pool, located in the northeast portion of the property replaced the concrete reservoir sometime in the early 1950s. From mid-1960 aerial photographs,there is an indication of vegetation and trees surrounding and covering portions of the house as well as evidence of original citrus tree rows and heavier vegetation along natural drainage areas on the property.

B10. Significance The Goerlitz House is located at 9893 Highland Avenue in the City of Rancho Cucamonga(Alta Loma). In 1926,the original one-story house was situated on 10 acres(5-acre lots on portions of Lots 5&6, Block 3,Cucamonga Homestead Association). When the Goerlitz family purchased the property in 1926,the land was being taxed for agricultural use(citrus). From a 1938 aerial photograph of the property,a mature citrus grove is in place on the southern half of the property(Lot 6) and a recently planted citrus grove can be seen on the northern half (Lot 5). It is not known what landscaping was present on the property in the 1920s and 1930s. However,a 1938 aerial photograph indicates trees near the house. Post State Route 210130 Construction Period 2002 The Goeritz House was determined eligible by SHPO for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C, as a significant example of a"Mission Revival Style"(March 2, 1990). Although,today,the house still retains its integrity of location,design, materials,and workmanship,the integrity of the property's feeling and association was diminished with the freeway construction project. The integrity of the original setting (1926-1936),already diminished with the reduction of the original parcel from 10 acres to approximately 4.4 acres and the loss of citrus groves,was diminished further after the freeway construction. With the completion of the construction of the SR- 210/30 in the Fall 2002,the setting associated with the Goerlitz House was substantially altered.The citrus grove adjacent to Highland Avenue was removed for the freeway construction. 3.40 acres of the property were acquired for freeway construction and right of way, reducing the size of the parcel to 1.02 acres. Because of the adverse effects of the highway project on the Goerlitz property,a Memorandum of Agreement(MOU)was entered into between FHWA and the SHPO, dated February 28, 1996 to mitigate the adverse effects. Before construction,the long tree-lined(Eucalyptus and citrus)driveway entrance for the property(4.38 acres)was off Highland Avenue, north of the house. Today,the only access to the property is on a service road from Hermosa Avenue(east of the property),just south of the SR-210/30(MOU,4.E). A soundwall with river stone veneer has been constructed along the new north property boundary within the highway right-of-way(MOU,4.D). In January 2001,a landscape plan was submitted by San Bernardino County Associated Governments (SANBAG) to SHPO(concurrence March 20,2001)in order to comply with the MOU to"replace the existing landscape elements and screen the freeway soundwall."(MOU,4.13).

Goerlitz Property Landscaping Plan, Alta Loma, San Bernardino County. Dear Mr. Moon; Thank you for submitting to our office, on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), your January 26, 2001 letter and and drawings regarding the proposed landscaping plan for the Goerlitz property, a property located near the town of Alta Loma in San Bernardino County, The Goerlitz property has been determined, by consensus, to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The landscaping plan is being submitted in accordance with Stipulation 4,C of the 1996 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)...Regarding the Construction of State Route 30 from Foothill Boulevard in the City of La Verne, Los Angeles County, to Interstate 215, in the City of San Bernardino, San Bernardino County. The submitted landscape plan differs slightly frpm that depicted in the "Goeriltz House Mitigation Plan% an exhibit attached to the original MCA as Exhibit F.7. FHWA is seeking our comments on the proposed landscaping plans and their compliance with the requirements set forth in the "Goerlitz House Mitigation Plan" in accordance with Stipulation 4 of the 1996 MOA. Our mvipw of the submitted landscaping plans lead us to conclude that the proposed landscaping plan, as describe], meets the requirements set forth in the "Guelitz House Mitigation Plan" as required in Stipulation 4 of the 1996 MOA.
