Marcus R Kemp was listed as a shareholder m the Etiwanda Frwt Company in 1895 The subtect house was probably bwtt as a result of their success in estrus growing, as it appears to have replaced a much smaller improvement on the property The house is sheathed in two-lap drop siding, and rests upon a poured concrete foundation scored to resemble masonry. A "cast stone" concrete block chimney protrudes through the eastern slope of the roof, accompanied by a brick chimney on the opposite side of the attic vent. Detailing is simple, with a boxed cornice and plain frieze below the hip roof A full-width Classical/Coloniai Revrval porch, pictured in Etiwanda, The First 100 Years, originally spanned the lower half of the fagade The porch was supported by four, evenly spaced Tuscan columns, and had upper and lower porch railings This large porch has been removed, its replacement is . a small portico supported by two classical columns over the front steps, the columns may be recycled from the original porch A recessed rear porch at the southwest corner is now boarded over Landmark Designation The requested landmark designation is for the Kemp House The subtect structure qualifies for landmark designation based upon the criteria from the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance Details concerning these areas follow 1 Histoncal Significance.
