BACKGROUND
A Historical Slonificance. The Isle House origins date back to the founding of the Etlwanda
Colony In the early 1880s by George and William Chaffey George had been educated as
an engineer, and his brother William had a background In agriculture. They formed a
partnership with the Intention of developing an irrigated agricultural colony. On
Thanksgiving Day, 1881, the brothers purchased 1,000 acres with existing water rights to
four nearby mountain streams In Day, Meddle, East, and Young Canyons from Captain
J S. Garcia. Garcia was a retered Portuguese sea captain who had established a sheep
ranch In the area. By January 1882, they had expanded their holdings to 7,600 acres and
by May, had organezed the Etlwanda Water Company
The Chaffeys divided their holdings Into 10-acre lots and named the new colony Etlwanda,
after the Lake Michigan Indian Chief Sales began In the sprang of 1882, and a preliminary
subdivision map was filed on December 22, 1883 By March of 1884, 46 individuals had
• purchased 1,024 acres. Crops included oranges, apricots, Muscat grapes, and lemons

The Colony was the location of many fasts in Southern California's history including the
site of the first development of the hydro-electric current, the first successful mutual water
company, the first protect to use underground concrete pipe, and the first long distance
telephone All of these first were the results of George Chaffey.
On November 30,1882, electrical lights were turned on for the first time in Southern
California, in Etiwanda George Chaffey had rigged a small electric dynamo with a paddle
wheel that could be run on an irrigation ditch Wires from the dynamo lead to an arc lamp
installed on the roof of Captain Garcia's former home, where George Chaffey then
resided The light could be seen as far away as Riverside It was also said that ordinary
print could be read at night a quarter mile away In August 1883, Chaffey installed electric
fights m his home
As previously stated, the origins of the present day Isle House can be traced back to
George Chaffey and the founding of Etiwanda Following the death of his father, George
built the structure presently known as the Isle House near his own dwelling. Annie and
Emma, George's mother and sister, were to live in this home until the family eventually
moved to Australia. According to local sources, this house was also wired for electnaty.
After the Chaffey family's move to Australia, the house passed through a number of
owners, finally coming to rest in the care of the Isle family On February 20, 1902, James
C Isle purchased a lot at the corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Highland Avenue, as well as
the Annie Chaffey Home. He then moved the house, using log rollers, approximately
Yz mile to his newly purchased lot on Etiwanda and Highland Avenues, which is now the
I-210 freeway.
James Isle became one of the largest estrus producers in Etiwanda and came to own 125
acres of land In 1914, it is recorded that James C Isle was one of the founding members
of the Etiwanda Foothill Citrus Association, however, his tenure did not last long. He
transferred all of his shares in the assoaation to C. Newton Ross two years later.
By 1920, the census showed that among others, Isle's daughter and son-in-law, George
P McGuire, had moved into the house James Christopher Isle died at the age of 77 on
December 11, 1931. Martha Isle, his wife, continued to reside in the house and oversee
the orchards until her death in the early 1940s. By 1945, James Isle's grandson, Alfred W.
McGwre, and his wife, Antoinette, lived in the house and continued in the citrus business
However, by 1951, Alfred was no longer dependent solely on farming for his income and
worked as the local constable Alfred and Antoinette moved out of the house in the 1970s.
Since that time, the property has served as a rental dwelling, and was eventually
abandoned until the parcel was acquired by SANBAG as part of the I-210 freeway
construction At the request of the Etiwanda Historical Society, the City of Rancho
Cucamonga was able to acquire the structure, as well as another suitable site, and the
house was moved to its current location
B. Site Characteristics. The Isle House, a 1,768 square foot, two-story structure, is located on •
a parcel of land approximately 5 acre in size, and rectangular in shape. The site is
relatively flat. Very Low density housing units (0-2 dwellings per acre) are located to the

north and west of the subject site Also surrounding the site is a neighborhood of historic
structures To the north of the site are the Huber-Harne and Stegmeir residences, to the
east lays the Etiwanda Pacific Electric Depot, and to the south are the Chaffey-Garaa
House, Etiwanda Congregational Church, and the Pacific Electric Railway
C General A two-story structure resting on pier and post, the house at 7608 Etiwanda
Avenue is rectangular in plan with a arca 1970 addition to the southwest side. The roof is
mansard with dormer windows on the steep lower slope, molded cornices bound lower
roof slope, and decorative brackets are present beneath the eves. The structure is 25 feet
x 40 feet with a 6-foot porch on the south and east sides The 25-foot x 24-foot second-
story aligns over the front of the residence.
The walls are constructed with horizontal flush siding with a 6-inch tongue and groove
shiplap joint and corner boards The structure was bwlt as a wood frame construction
A 5-foot 9-inch porch wraps the entire east elevation and a majority of the south elevation
The porch has turned wood columns bearing on the porch floor and supporting the roof.
The columns support a plain frieze board with the mansard roof of the porch above. The
columns show evidence of the bases being built up and repaired over time. The posts,
while similar in design, are of different diameters, 43/< inches to 5 inches, and have their
• detailing occurring at different heights, from 36 inches to 38Yz inches above the finished
floor. The tops of several of the posts show patching at the top of the post lust below the
frieze board. This would have been a likely location for some type of open fretwork. The
porch roof is of similar pattern to the main roof. The wood shingles vary in width with a
hexagonal and diamond pattern The porch flooring is finished with narrow tongue and
groove boards with a center bead detail.
The residence has a flared mansard roof with wood shingles, which vary m width and
consist of hexagonal, plain, and diamond patterns in variegated rows with a plain curb at
the top and a modeled cornice at the bottom Decorative brackets align the frieze board
below the eves. Gabled wall dormers align over windows below creating symmetrical wall
patterns.
The structure currently has three exterior doorways. The east elevation doorway was the
original primary entrance into the main parlor The doorway extends to the ceding line with
a two-light upper transom and raised four-panel door below The south elevation doorway
appears to be of a slightly newer vintage The door is a three-panel design.
The original windows are all two over two double hung wood windows with wood sash and
casings. The casings are ornate with distinctive side casings that extend below the
window stool and apron and crossing the head casing
