APN 0209-062-23 Related file Conditional Use Permit 98-18 PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION L~ A Historic Sionificance The subject residence was constructed around 1921 The house is a single story structure of wood construction in the Craftsman style and was originally located at 12737 Foothill Boulevard The Gwdera family owned one of the small wineries m the Etiwanda area and resided m this house for many years The Gwdera family contributed much to the development of the Etiwanda area and was one of the founding families of the Sacred Hearth Catholic Church in Etiwanda B Site Characteristics The Guiders Winery House was originally located on a roughly 4 64 acre site on Foothill Boulevard However, in 1992, the house was relocated to 9801 Main Street because a new commeraal center (Walmart) was developed on the original site In order to approve the relocation of the house to this property, a new two-car garage was regwred and constructed The current site is approximately 8,923 square feet in size The house is located within a residential neighborhood (Northtown) The property is surrounded by a single family residence to the east, a cluster residential subdivision to the west, and the rail road tracks to the south The subject property is separated from these properties by a 5-foot high block wall ANALYSIS A General The style of architecture used in the Gwdera Winery House constitutes an example of architectural style by which other properties in the general area, as seen by the design of the new residences (see Exhibit "B"), emulate the historic building B Landmark Designation The requested landmark designation includes the Gwdera Winery House only (see Exhibit "A") The subject 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, and architectural setting Details concerning these areas follow ITEM A HPC STAFF REPORT LD 98-01 -
