PREPARED BY: Jeff Hook, Associate PI
SUBJECT: NOMINATION OF PROPERTIES TO THE MASTER LIST AND
CONTRIBUTING LIST OF HISTORIC RESOURCES.
CAO RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution adding two properties to the Master List of
Historic Resources and 15 properties to the Contributing Properties List.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF
One of the Cultural Heritage Committee's 1997-99 workprogram priorities is to update the City's
listing of historic properties. The Committee has started its review in the Mt. Pleasanton
Square/Anhohn Addition, a residential neighborhood north of Downtown which was developed
in the 1920s and 1930s. From the initial review of 27 properties, 17 properties were nominated
by the CHC for historic status. Two of the 17 are recommended for the Master List of Historic
Resources because of their historical and architectural significance. 15 properties are
recommended as "contributing" historic properties due to their age, condition, and architectural
style. City Council approval is required to add properties to the Master List or Contributing List
of Historic Resources.
DISCUSSION
Advisory Body Recommendation. On March 23', April 27'b and May 26m, 1998, the
Cultural Heritage Committee (CHC) voted unanimously to nominate the following properties as
historic resources(minutes attached):
Master List of Historic Resources:
• 59 Benton Way
• 1600 Madonna Road
Contributing List of Historic Resources
• 48 Benton Way
• 156, 207, 236, 282, 301, 368, 381, 397, 453, 456, 457, 460, 464, and 472 Broad Street
Situation. One of the CHC's high priorities in its 1997-99 workprogram is updating the
City's Master List of Historic Resources. Earlier this year the CHC began reviewing
properties in the Mt. Pleasanton Square/Anholm neighborhood for architectural or historical
significance. Since March, Committee members have considered 29 properties and found 17
properties that appeared to meet Council-approved standards for historic listing. Those
candidate properties are'now ready for Council consideration.

The purposes of the historic listing are.to: 1) recognize buildings which contribute to the City's
architectural, cultural and historical diversity, 2) help preserve and restore buildings which are
historically or architecturally- significant; 3) to help .preserve the historic character of
neighborhoods, and 4) to make certain historic properties eligible for preservation incentives,
such as rehabilitation loans, tax incentives, or more flexible building or zoning codes. Based on
the properties' historic documentation, advisory body recommendations, and public testimony,
the City Council should decide whether the properties meet the eligibility criteria for
nomination to the Contributing Properties List or the Master List of Historic Resources. These
criteria were adopted by the City Council and are listed in the City's Historic Preservation
Program Guidelines (criteria attached). If the Council concurs with the CRC's nomination, it
should adopt the attached resolution adding the properties to Master or Contributing List. The
DeVaul Ranch House is part of a pending annexation. Council action to add it to the Master
List would take effect upon approval of the annexation.
Mt. Pleasanton Square/Anholm Neighborhood. with the exception of the DeVaul
Ranch house, all of the properties are located within the Mt. Pleasanton Square/Anhohn
neighborhood, an area comprised of two residential subdivisions developed in the 1920s and
1930s and located northwest of Downtown between the base of Cerro San Luis Obispo and
Stenner Creek. Predominant architectural styles are Mission Revival, Spanish Colonial revival,
Tudor Revival, Craftsman, and California Bungalow, reflecting popular architectural styles of
that time. The area's popularity was due, in part, to its proximity to Downtown and sheltered
location on the lee side of Cerro San Luis. Early residents include many prominent educators,
business owners and professionals,including:
• George and Chris Anholm, subdividers.
• Letham E. McDougal,Civil Engineer,Highway Commission.
James F. Merson, Teacher, Cal Poly.
• Marvin E. Arnold, Bookkeeper,Booth Brothers.
• J. J. Dunne, Chevrolet Dealer.
• Thomas W. Raycraft,Asst. County Farm Advisor.
This continues to be an attractive, recognizable neighborhood, with most homes in good
condition and many in original or near-original architectural character. Because of the apparent
concentration of architecturally and historically important homes, the CHC has discussed the
possibility that the Mt. Pleasanton Square/Anholm neighborhood may merit historic district
status. As an initial step, the CHC is reviewing all properties within these two subdivisions for
their architectural and historical significance. This is the first group of properties nominated for
historic listing from that review.
Master and Contributing Properties Lists. Procedures for historic nomination are
found in the Historic Preservation Program Guidelines. The Master List of Historic Resources
consists of about 175 of the City's most important residential and commercial structures which
have significant historic or architectural value to the community and which merit special

preservation and recognition. Master List properties are eligible to receive an historic plaque,
commemorating the historic name and date of the building. Some of these properties are also
eligible for State or Federal historic designation, and may qualify for tax incentives such as the
federal tax credits or the Mills Act Program. Once added to the Master List, exterior building
changes are possible, provided that such changes promote the structure's original architectural
style and character. Demolition is also possible, subject to Architectural Review Commission
approval. According to the Historical Preservation Program Guidelines, demolition of an
historical resource should be done only when: I) the condition of the building poses a threat to
the health, safety or welfare of community residents or people living or working on or near the
site, or 2) the project sponsor demonstrates that it financially infeasible to rehabilitate the
structure or preserve the historic nature of the site."
The Contributing Properties List contains about 400 properties, most of which are houses within
designated historic districts. Contributing properties consist of structures, gardens or other
features which are at least 50 years old and which contribute to the architectural or historical
character of their neighborhood. Contributing properties listing is primarily an honorary
designation. Changes to Contributing properties do not require any architectural or historical
review beyond that which would normally be required(none, for additions and remodels to single
dwellings or duplexes),although city policies encourage their preservation. Both Master List and
Contributing List properties are considered "historic" and may qualify for more flexible zoning
and building codes to encourage their preservation and upkeep.
Historic Nomination Procedures. Policy 6.6.1 of the General Plan Land Use Element
says that the City should identify, preserve and where possible restore historic resources. By
designating eligible properties as historic, the City helps preserve important buildings and
features of the community's heritage. In so doing, the City and property owners work together
to maintain the distinctive architectural character and "sense of place" of both residential and
commercial neighborhoods

Page 4
half-timbering, shake roof,.with tall, narrow windows with decorative diamond-shaped panes
in the top one-third. It is believed to be one of the first houses developed in the Mt.
Pleasanton Square Tract. :Distinctive ."clinker brick" from local. brickyards was used for
architectural detailing. The house has been well maintained and appears to be in good
condition. Although architecturally noteworthy, the house's primary significance relates to its
residents. Its original owner and builder, James Joseph Dunne, was a prominent business man
and leader in San Luis Obispo's auto industry during the late 1920s through the late 1940s.
Born in Ireland in 1886, Mr. Dunne came to San Luis Obispo in 1927 and he and a partner
started the Dunne and Dick Chevrolet dealership at 1255 Monterey Street in 1927. He was
active in the American Red Cross at local and national levels and served as Chairman of the
San Luis Obispo Selective Service Board during World War II. After Mr. Dunne's passing in
1947, his widow Mabel Dunne married Dr. George Dunklee. Dr. Dunklee was a surgeon and
a founder of San Luis Medical Clinic in 1937. Mrs. Mabel Dunklee was a leader in a variety
of civic organizations. She organized the San Luis Obispo chapter of the American Cancer
Society and served as president for 12 years. She also served as president for local chapters of
the Guide Dogs for the Blind, Children's Home Society, and the Women's Auxiliary to the San
Luis Obispo County Medical Society, who elected Mrs. Dunklee as an honorary life member,
the first women so honored. Mrs. Dunklee died in 1972 and a memorial arbor was erected in
her honor in Santa Rosa Park,.with contributions from about 600 persons. Dr. Dunklee died in
1981.
1600 Madonna Road
Property Owner: Bank of America/De Vaul Ranch, LLC
General Plan: Low, Medium, and Medium-High Density Residential; Public Facilities (public
park and drainage facilities); and Conservation/Open Space (40 acre minimum lot size).
Requested Zoning: R-1-PD, R-2-PD, R-3-PD, PF, C/OS-40 (property currently located in
unincorporated County; annexation to City of San Luis Obispo applied for).
Description: One-story Vernacular Farmhouse on acreage,just outside City limits.
Recommended Historic Listing: Type 5.
Historic Significance
The Solomon Foreman House, named after its owner and builder, rancher Solomon Foreman,
is architecturally unique and a remnant of 19' century ranching in San Luis Obispo's urban
fringe area. The house's estimated construction date is 1886, and both house and grounds are
in fair condition. The attractive farmhouse has had some exterior modifications over the years.
A large barn toward the rear of the property is in dilapidated condition. The ranch house and
grounds are significant for several reasons:
1) The ranch house is unique in that it was developed as a"country home" as a rural getaway
for its urban owners, before the turn of the twentieth century;
2) The property retains its building and site integrity, with relatively minor changes to the
original ranch house and grounds;
3) At 120 years old, the Ranch House is one of the City's oldest remaining ranch buildings
Council Staff Report - CHC Historic Resource Nominations
Page 5
and is probably the last building remaining from the Canada de Los Osos Rancho.
4) The ranch house location and views of the house from Madonna Road create a unique
environmental design continuity in an agriculture setting on the urban fringe;
5) The property is one of the last remaining ranch houses associated with the City's farming
agricultural history; and
6) The Ranch House's original setting and views of the house and gardens from Madonna
Road create a unique visual setting and historic environmental context.
The CHC recommended that along with the Ranch House, the following site features should
also be included as historic features: original privy or "outhouse," formal gardens including
fountain and ornamental plantings, and original fencing. Committee members felt that the
property should be added as a "Type 5 property", meaning that it is significant at a local level
but not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

Cultural Heritage Committee Minutes
March 23, 1998
PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS:
1. Consideration of nominating properties located at: 48 Benton Way, 59 Benton Way,
156 Broad Street, 207 Broad Street, 236 Broad Street, and 1600 Madonna Road (De
Vaul Ranch.house) to the Contributing.List of Historic Resources or.the Master-List of
Historic Resources. (McMasters; 45 minutes).
Committee members decided to take public comment on all the properties "up front" and then
discuss the properties one at a time.
Madelline Ropner, 721 Murray Street, spoke in support of adding 59 Benton Way to the
Master List of Historic Resources. She described the original builder/owner of the property,
Mr. Dunn, and provided a brief history of the original Mt. Pleasanton subdivision.
Harvey Norton, 67 Benton Way, expressed concerns that the CHC was again discussing
historic district status for the Mt. Pleasanton/Anholm neighborhoods. He noted that many
neighbors were opposed to historic district status and had appeared at the CHC's meeting last
year to express that concern.
Committee member Kardel felt that 59 Benton Way would qualify for the Contributing List on
design criteria alone. Possibly this was the first house built in the subdivision. She felt that
with additional research, the property may qualify for the Master List. She suggested that Ms.
Ropner might find the original construction date in the County Assessor's records or building
permit records.
Gail Jacobsen, 156 Broad Street, gave a brief description of their house's history, explaining
that they bought the house in 1975 and are the second owners. Ralph Jacobsen asked what the
difference between a contributing and master list property was and how it would affect them,
and whether historic designation would apply to the entire lot.
Committee member Carr asked whether 59 Benton Way was a prototype for the entire
subdivision. If so, she supported inclusion of the property on the Master List. She was
comfortable adding properties to the Master List if they were "prototypes" of a particular
architectural style or trend.
In response to the Jacobsen's questions, Jeff Hook reviewed the criteria for historic designation
and the differences between contributing and master list historic properties.
59 Benton Way
After a brief discussion, and on a motion by Committee member Kardel, seconded by
Committee member Schrage, the Committee voted to recommend that the City Council add 59
Benton Way to the Contributing List of Historic properties based on its age (50 years+) and
Tudor Revival architectural style. The motion carried, 7-0. CHC members asked that the item
be placed on the April agenda if additional research indicated that the property would qualify
6-/3
for the Master List.
Committee member Nicholson cautioned that the Committee was proceeding on new ground in
considering houses from the 1920s and 1930s for the Master List. He noted that the fust 175
properties on the Master List were "easier" to identify,.since most were pre-1900. There were
many more properties in this newer age category, so the CHC needed to comparatively
consider properties within neighborhoods to evaluate their importance. He noted that their are
many Tudor Revival and California Spanish buildings which were designed as variations on a
theme. He added that he was not against adding these types of properties; but wanted to
ensure that the Committee proceeded with care before adding properties to the Master List.
Committee Chair McMasters agreed, but noted that this was a statewide trend, to recognize
distinctive architectural styles from the post-1920 period up to current day.
Committee members briefly discussed the historic designation criteria and agreed that the
judgement of what was historically or architecturally significant would have to change when
the CHC considered residential subdivisions developed after the 1920s. They agreed that
properties would be reviewed and taken to the City Council in "batches" and that this approach
would allow the CHC to compare properties' relative significance or importance before the
City Council took final action.
156 Broad Street
On motion of Bob Schrage, seconded by Amy Kardel, the Committee voted 7-0 to recommend
that the City Council add 156 Broad Street to the Contributing List of Historic Properties,
based on age and distinctive (Tudor Revival) architectural style. Due to the number of
modifications made to the property, committee members did not believe the property would
merit Master List status.
Committee member Whittlesey questioned whether the CHC should be considering historic
district status first, before a case-by-case evaluation of each property for Master List status.
Jeff Hook explained that last year when the CHC began looking at the Mt. Pleasanton/Anhohn
neighborhood, the Committee was overwhelmed with the number of properties. They decided
instead to focus on individual properties which made up the potential districts.
236 Broad Street
Committee member Kardel felt that this property was closest to being eligible for the Master
List of the in-city properties that the CHC was considering this evening. She wondered if the
owners would support their property being added to the Master List of Historic Resources.
Mark and Julie Bray, property owners, said they would support listing of the their property on
the Master or Contributing List.
On motion of Bob Schrage, seconded by Amy Kardel, the Committee voted 7-0 to recommend
that the City Council add 236 Broad Street to the Contributing List based on its age and
distinctive architectural style. Committee members indicated they would be willing:to consider
Master List status with additional information on the former owners, builder, architect and on
the uniqueness of the property's design.
48 Benton Way
On motion of Amy Kardel, seconded by Bob Schrage, the Committee voted 7-0 to recommend
that the City Council add 48 Benton Way to the Contributing Property List and not to return
for Master List consideration (unless requested by the property owner), based on .the
property's age and distinctive California Spanish architectural style.
207 Broad Street
On motion of Matt Whittlesey, seconded by Amy Kardel, the Committee voted 7-0 to
recommend that the-City Council add the property to the Contributing List based on its age and
distinctive architectural style. The motion carried 7-0.
1600 Madonna Road
In response to a question from Committee member Kardel, Mr. Hook explained that the
DeVaul Ranch House is located outside City limits, but that it is proposed for annexation to the
City of San Luis Obispo. The property's environmental factors, historic significance, zoning
and appropriate land uses will be considered by the City Council as part of its annexation and
planned development hearings, so it was within the CHC's purview to review the property for
historic significance and, if deemed appropriate, to recommend historic listing.
The Committee took a five-minute break to make copies of a report on the DeVaul Ranch
House prepared by Betsy Bertrando and just presented at the meeting.
Committee members felt that based on the preponderence of written information presented to
the CHC, the property clearly met the eligibility criteria for the Master List of Historic
Resources.
On motion be Paula Carr, seconded by Bob Schrage, the Committee recommended that the
City Council add 1600 Madonna Road to the Master List of Historic Resources, based on
findings that:
1) The Ranch House is unique in that it was developed as a "country home" as a rural
getaway for its urban owners, before the turn of the twentieth century;
2) The property retains its building and site integrity, with only minimal changes to the
original ranch house and grounds;
3) At 120 years old, the Ranch House is one of the City's oldest remaining ranch buildings
and is probably the last building remaining from the Canada de Los Osos Rancho.
4) The ranch house location and views of the house from Madonna Road create a unique
6-`s
environmental design continuity in an agriculture setting on the urban fringe;
5) The property is one of the last remaining ranch houses associated with the City's farming
agricultural history;
6) The Ranch House's original setting and views of the house and gardens from Madonna
Road create a unique visual setting which would be adversely affected if the house were
moved;
7) Along with the Ranch House, the following site features should also be included as historic
features: original privy or `outhouse," formal gardens including fountain and ornamental
plantings, and original fencing.
8) The property should be added as a Type 5 property, meaning that it is significant at a local
level but not eligible for-the National Register of Historic Places.
Cultural Heritage Committee Minutes
April 27, 1998
2. Consideration of additional historical documentation submitted by the property owner in
support of including property located at 59 Benton Way on the Master List :of Historic
Resources (Madeline Ropner, applicant). (McMasters; 30 minutes).
Jeff Hook introduced the item, explaining that the CHC has already nominated this property to
the Contributing List; however at its last meeting left open the possibility that with additional
documentation, it might qualify for the Master List of Historic Resources.
Madeline Ropner explained the history of the house, focusing on the contributions of its early
owners, Dr. George Dunklee and Mabel Dunklee.
After discussing the additional historic documentation presented verbally and in writing, the
Committee agreed that 59 Benton Way met the criteria for nomination to the Master List. On
a motion by Bob Schrage, seconded by Bob Pavlik, the Committee nominated 59 Benton Way
to the Master List of Historic Resources as a Type 5 property (locally significant, but not
eligible for the National Register), finding that:
1. The house's historic name is recommended as the "J.J. Dunne House", named after its
original owner/builder.
2. The house is architecturally significant as an excellent example of English Tudor Style in
San Luis Obispo, with a local influence of"clinker brick" architecturally detailing which is
believed unique for this area.
3. The house has maintained a high degree of architectural integrity and is good condition.
4. The property is associated with persons who have made significant contributions to the
community as a public servant (Dr. Dunklee) or as a community leader (Mabel Dunklee).

Jeff Hook introduced the item and explained that at last month's meeting, committee members
had reviewed these Broad Street properties and determined that there was sufficient
documentation to proceed with historic nomination and that these properties appeared to meet
listing criteria for the Contributing List of Historic Properties. He outlined the Committee's
action alternatives and noted that the property owners had received individual, mailed notice of
tonight's meeting.
Chairman McMasters noted that the owner of a. commercial building at 515 Broad, Clara
Dalidio, submitted a letter asking that her property not be included in the historic listing
program.
Committee members felt that in general, if a property owner objected to historic listing, the
CHC should honor the property owner's wishes and not forward a nomination to the City
Council for historic listing.
Hook explained that at last month's meeting, the Committee had deleted five properties from
the list of candidate historic properties because they did not appear to meet eligibility criteria;
the property at 515 Broad Street would be the sixth property deleted for the list of 17
properties originally reviewed.
On motion of Amy Kardel, seconded by Bob Schrage, the Committee nominated 282, 301,
368, 381, 397, 453, 456, 457, 460, 464, and 472 Broad Street to the Contributing List of
Historic Properties. The motion carried, 6- 0 (Committee member Whittlesey absent).
Hook noted that these nominated properties would be combined with those nominated at the
April meeting and forwarded to the City Council for action, probably in July.

APPENDIX C. Procedures for adding properties to the
Master List of Historical Resources.
1. Who Can Aooly.
Any person may request that a property be added to the Master List of Historical
Resources. The Cultural Heritage Committee, Architectural Review Commission, Planning
Commission or the City Council may also initiate an application.
2. Where and How to Apply,
A standard application form must be completed and submitted to the Community
Development Department. The form must be accompanied by all available information
that documents the historical importance and architectural character of the building
or site.
There is no fee for applying for Historical Resource designations.
For information about data sources and help with preparing an application, contact the
Cultural Heritage Committee.
3. Actions by the Cultural Herltaee Committee,
The Cultural Heritage Committee (CHC) will review the application and decide whether
it merits consideration. If the CHC finds that an application merits consideration, a
public hearing will be scheduled and the applicant will be notified.
The time, date and place of the public hearing will be advertised in the Telegram
Tribune newspaper. At the public hearing, or in no case more than 60 days from the
hearing date, the CHC will recommend that the property be added or not added to the
Master List of Historical Resources. When evaluating an application, the CHC will use
the attached criteria.
4. Actions by the City Council.
Within sixty days from the CHC action on an application, the City Council will decide
if the property should be added to the Master List of Historical Resources. These
decisions will be made at an advertised public hearing. The applicant will be
notified of the hearing date.
In making these decisions, the City Council will consider the CHC's recommendations,
public testimony and application materials. The action of the City Council is final.
If the City Council approves the addition of a property to the Master List of
Historical Resources, the City Clerk will send the applicant a copy of the council
resolution that affirms this action.

DELINEATION OF HISTORIC RESOURCE CRITERIA
FOR BUILDING EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
ARCHITECTURAL CRITERIA
I. Style
Describes form of building such as size, structural shape and details within
that form (i.e., arrangement of windows and doors, ornamentation, etc.)
Building style will be evaluated as a measure of:
1. The relative purity of a traditional style (as compared to building styles
in San Luis Obispo),
2. Rarity of existence at any time in the locale; and/or current rarity
although the structure reflects a once popular style;
3. Traditional, vernacular and/or eclectic influences that represent a
particular social milieu and period of the community; and/or the uniqueness
of hybrid styles and how these styles are put together.
4. The degree to which the structure has maintained its integrity (i.e.,
assessment of alterations and structural condition, if known).
II Design
Describes the architectural concept of a structure and the quality of artistic
merit and craftmanship of the individual parts. Reflects how well a particular
Style or combination of styles are expressed through compatibility and detailing
of elements. Also, suggests degree to which the architect (i.e.,
carpenter-builder) accurately interpreted and conveyed the style(s).
Building design will be evaluated as a measure of:
1. Notable attractiveness with aesthetic appeal because of its uniqueness,
artistic merit, details and craftsmanship;
2. Overall attractiveness because of craftsmanship and aesthetic value, though
.not necessarily unique;
3. An expression of interesting details and eclecticism among
carpenter-builders, although the craftsmanship and artistic quality may not
be superior.
6-2i
III. Age
._.... .._ .._........-
Age is a measure of how relatively old a structure is in the context of the
history of San Luis Obispo, primarily Anglo-American history (circa 1850). (See
Scale of Building Age).
CRITERIA FOR BUILDING EVALUATIONS
IV. Architect
Describes the professional (an individual or firm) directly responsible for the
building design and plans of the structure.
The architect will be evaluated as a reference to:
1. A master architect (e.g., Wright).
2. A known architect who made significant contributions to the state or region
(e.g., Julia Morgan).
3. An architect who, in terms of craftsmanship, made significant contributions
to San Luis Obispo (e.g., Abrahams who, according to local sources,
designed the house at 810 Osos - Frank Avila's father's home - built
between 1927 - 30).
4. An early architect who is otherwise of no special significance but can be
identified as a professional (e.g., pioneer architects of the region as
confirmed by AIA archival membership records of California and the Central
Coast).
V. Environmental Design Continuity
Describes the inter-relationship of structures and their relationship to a
common environment. Refers to the continuity, spatial relationship, and visual
character of a street, neighborhood, or area.
Environmental design continuity will be evaluated as a measure of the:
1. Symbolic importance of a structure to the community and the degree to which
it serves as a conspicuous and pivotal landmark (i.e., easily accessible to
the public, helps to establish a sense of time and place).
2. Compatibility of a structure with neighboring structures in its setting on
the basis of period, style (form, height, roof lines), design elements,
landscapes, and natural features; and how these combine together to create
an integral cultural, historic, or stylistic setting.
3. Similarity to and/or compatibility of a structure with its neighboring
structures which, collectively, although of no particular aesthetic value,
combine to form a geographically definable area with its own distinctive
character.
6 -z

2• A relatively unique or interesting contribution to the city (i.e., the Ah
Louis Store as the center for Chinese-American cultural activities in early
San Luis Obispo history).
3. A contribution which, though minor, nonetheless was important to the
community (i.e., local interest groups); or, alternatively, a unique or
interesting contribution only loosely connected with the structure, object,
site, or district.
VIII. Historv-Context

ON TIIE CI'LTI.JRAL IIERITAGE COMMITTEE'S NOMINATION
OF PROPERTIES TO TIM, MASTER LIST AND CONTRIBUTING LIST OF
HISTORIC RESOIJRCES
Public Hearing. On August 18, 1998 the City Council will hold a public hearing to consider the Cultural Heritage
Committee's recommendation to add two properties to the Master List of Historic Resources and 15 properties to
the contributing Properties List. Properties nominated for historic listing are:
Master List of Historic Resourceso 59 Benton Wayo 1600 MadonnaRoad
Contributins Pronerties Listo 48 BentonWayo 156,207,236,292,301, 369, 3:91,397,453,456,457,460,4:64,and472Broad Steet
Patpose of Historic Listing. You are being notified because our records indicate you own one or more of the
properties nominated for historic listing. This is a public hearing and anyone may comment on this matter before
the City Council takes action. The purposes of the proposed historic listings are to: l) recognize buildings which
conhibute to the City's architectural, cultural and historical diversity, 2) help preserve and restore historic resources,
particularly those buildings with which are historically or architecturally significant; 3) to help preserve the historic
character of neighborhoods, and 4) to make certain historic properties eligible for preservation incentives, such as
rehabilitationloans, tax incentives, or more flexible building or zoning codes.
Master List Properties The Master List of Historic Resources consists of about 175 of the City's most important
residentialand commercialstructureswhich have significanthistoric or architecturalvalue to the communiqrand which
merit special preservation and recognition. Master List properties are eligible to receive a historic plaque,
commemorating the historic name and date of the building. Some of these properties are also eligible for State or
Federal historic designation, and may qualiff for tax incentives such as the federal tax credits or the Mills Act program.
Once added to the Master List, exterior building changes are possible, provided that such changes promote the
structure's original architectural style and character. Demolition is also possible, subject to Architectural Review
Commission approval. According to the Historical Preservation Program Guidelines, demolition of an historical
resource should be done only when: " l) the condition of the building poses a threat to the health, safety or welfare of
community residents or people living or working on or near the site, or 2) the project sponsor demonstrates that it
financially infeasibleto rehabilitatethe structure or preserve the historic nature ofthe site."
Conttibuling Properties The Contributing Properties List contains about 400 properties, most of which are houses
within designated historic districts. Contributing properties consist of structures, gardens or other features which at
least 50 years old and which contribute to the architectural or historical character of their neighborhood. Contibuting
properties listing is primarily an honorary desigration. Changes to Contributing properties do not require any
architectural or historical review beyond that which would normally be required (none, for additions and remodels to
single dwellings or duplexes), although city policies encourage their preservation. Both Master List and Contibuting
List properties are considered "historic" and qualifu for more flexible zoning and building codes to encourage their
preservation and upkeep.

Department, 781:1176.

Chapter Twenty-two
San Luis Obispo Adiusts:
"This is the Army, Mr. lones!"
It has always mystified newcorrlers to find so {nany doctors busy here.
During the '20s Doctors Williarn Stover and Richard Bradbury operated
the Hagernan Sanitariunt,r a three-story building at i7i6 Osos near
Church street; then Dr. Bradbury and his wife, Arnelia, (Arny) estab-
lished the Pacific Hospital and nurses' quarters on the south side of
Buchon Street, between Garden and Broad. Across the street Mrs. Wright
converted a residence into a lnaternity home, although doctors still
dclivered babies at houres.
Mealwhile, Dr. Stover built a fine brick building to house the San Luis
Sarnitarium, converting his building next-door on the corner of Marsh
and Toro into a nurses'hotne. In l912 he opened the first maternity wing.
(I was the first baby born there. Before that, people "went to the hospital
to die!")
By 1929 Stover had sold the hospital to Dr. Fredrick Muglar Sr., who
later sold to Doctors Edison and George French'
In L937 Dr. George Dunklee and Dr. |oe Middleton practiced with four
associates in a two-story building at Garden and Marsh and there
established the San Luis Clinic. In 1947 their expanding clinic was
moved to the present (1980) location at Osos and Pacific.
Dr. Hayes had been especially instrumental in upgrading the General
Hospitai. By the '30s it was the best-equipped facility in the area
supported by Dr. Chester |. Teass and many others.
R"t ch.tt from Carissa Plains, Paso Robles and Cambria often main-
tained another home in San Luis to stay while being treated at one of the
clinics, consulting lawyers, attending county meetings, or banking.
There were only two banks in the county, Bank of America and Security
First National.
Prominent lawyers included aggressive and successful Albert Nelson;
also Al Muller and William Shipsey, both dependable in preparation of
wills and deeds; and popular Charles Kaetzei who also served on the
school board.

'7. Physical Appearance: Briefly describe the present physical appearance of the property, including condition, boundaries,
related features, surroundings, and (if appropriatel architectural style.
This Vernacular Farmhouse has many attractive features including decorative window overhangs, shallow bays, a paneled
front door with glass transom, and a large porch with decorative posts and brackets. lts medium-pitch cross-gabled roof has
projecting eaves finished as a cornice. The siding is shiplap; the window and door surrounds a molded trim. There is a brick
chimney. There is also a large lean-to addition, Architecturally, the house has features associated with the "ltalianate Style'
(mid 1 860s to 1 88Osl, particularly the house's interior. Exterior windows have elements of three styles: the hood molds
over the windows are found in Gothic Revival (1830-1880) (Blumenson, 1981), the rectangular bay of the San Francisco
Stick (1 870s to 1 890) that has vertical stick motifs on the top and bottom, and the long, narrow double sash openings that
are capped with cornice and a protruding sill typical of the ltalianate Style. Created as a "Country house' for the Foremans,
the house features extra architectural detailing which was more typical of "in-town' residences and not of working farms or
ranches outside the city, The interior has tall ceilings, approximately 1 4 feet, with glass transom windows over doorways.
The central hall leads from the entry to separate gentleman's and lady's parlors, joined by a pocket door. ln one of the
sitting rooms a rare, painted, molded fireplace is still in place. This house is in fair-to-good condition.

This house is in the urban fringe area. County Museum files indicate that Solomon W. Foreman, a rancher, -...established his
permanent home on this place...- in 1886. Construction details in the house, barn and outhouse point to an earty development
of the ranch and it is clear that the development started in the late 1870s by S.W. -Harry' and Margaret Foreman. Later, the
prop€rty was used as a dairy and in 19O3, ths property owner was R.J. Bullock, great grandlather of the curent genoration of
DeVauls. This attractive farmhouse has received some exterior modifications; however the addition of two bathrooms and
kitchen expansion is not visible from the lront of the house and does not detlact from the house's overall historic character.
The house is believed to be one of the oldest frame structures still existing within the vicinity of the City of San Luis Obispo.
It appears older than the two remaining farm homes in the area, the Long-Bonetti Ranch and the Froom Ranch. The property's
unique and unusual architecture as a "country home' makes the DeVaul ranch house, grounds and outbuildings a valuable
addition to the City's historic landscape. Formal gardens, privy, ranch fencing, Eucalyptus windrow and barn are in poor
condition but add to the historic context of the house.

BERTRANDO AND BERTRINDO, JUNE 1998
EISTORY
The project area lies within the boundaries of the historic La Laguna or Laguna Rancho. The
project area known as the De Vaul Ranch formed part of the southwest border of the Laguna
Rancho and extended within the Rancho boundary 378.36 acres in a northeasterly direction,
The Laguna Rancho was originally a part of the Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa lands. ln
1844, after the Mission ranchos had been regranted by the Mexican government, Governor
Micheltorena granted the church "one square league (4157+ acres) in the place called
Laguna"(Engelhardt 1963). This was included with two garden plots and the church in San Luis
Obispo. In 1845, the new Governor Pio Pico sold offall the remaining mission lands and
buildings. Captain John Wilson, and two partners Scott and McKinley, bought the San Luis
Obispo Mission and the Laguna Rancho for $500. The properties weie lateiclaimed by the
church and confirmed by the American government in 1855 (Koch er 1972). In 1 859, fiirt op
Alemany sold the Laguna property to Captain John Wilson. .
W.W. Stow, from San Francisco, eventually acquired the land from the Wilson estate. Stow was
known locally as a major benefactor of the first library in San Luis Obispo. As he had ..a very
kindly feeling towards San Luis Obispo" he wanted to contribute books not money for the
l]btuty. Wanting to make the selections himself, Stow felt "tlere was too much riading of
fiction, which might be stopped if historical and biographical works were placed on the shell'
(Tognazzini 1992).
The land was eventuatly combined with the Rancho Cafrada de los Osos, also owned by.Wilson.
and subdivided in 1869 by William H. Patterson. The area surveyed by James Stratton
encompassed the entire Los Osos Valley from Mono Bay to San iuis bUispo Creek. The De
Vaul Ranch is Lot 60 out of 78 in the early subdivision.
In 1875, stow sold the property to s.w. (Harry) Foreman, a surveyor. Harry and his wife
Margaret had, what was for that time, a rather elaborate home built for them that remains to<Jav
as the house on the De Vaul ranch. Harry had money and was quick to make a deal, always in
his favor. Both Harry and Margaret kept a country house ratherthan a working farm or rancrr.
not typical for the area (Froom pers. comm).
Later, Lots 60,67,68 and 69 (comprising the south and west corner of the old Laguna Rancho)
became one of the four county ranches belonging to Annie Nelson. Her home was on the Froom
ranch and dairy. She manied Ludwig Nelson from Norway, Later Harriet Perry Froom, wit'e of'
John Froom, bought and ran the same operation. John Froom was a Canadian who had worketl
for the Nelson's (Froom pers. comm.).
Farms, dairies and ranches grew out of the subdivision as it slowly developed. Land reclamation
was undertaken for the area just to the north and east of the De Vaul Ranch and, in 18g2,
Chinese, under contract to Ah Louis, were working on the land reclamation proj".t and drainage
ditch for Laguna Lake (Wong 1987). The Sandercock Company, a drayage iirm, gives listings
for the month of July of transporting "Chinamen to lagoon", as well uJtouOr of rice and lumber.
As the population increased in the town, Laguna Lake became a-popular area for duck hunting,
and black bass were stocked in the lake, By 1896 farmers aroun-d the lake, growing mostly
barley at that time, posted "No Hunting Allowed" signs throughout the area, as the popularity of
the lake became troublesome to the sunounding landowners (Tognazzini - 1996).
Just east of the De Vaul Ranch on the opposite side of Los Osos Valley Road was another
popular recreation spot for the residents of San Luis Obispo. A one mite racetrack that was also
part of the socigl life in San Luis Obispo. The grandstand has been moved and still can be seen
from Madonna Road where it was later used with a Yzmile track.
In 1903, R.J. Bullock purchased Lot 60 and resided in the De Vaul house. There were three bovs
and one girl in the family. Changes had been made to the house. The originat lean-to across the
back had been the kitchen, but now the dining room became the kitchen. An addition was added
to the lean-to and indoor plumbing was added as well (Froom pers. comm.).
The brothers, Thomas and Alva De Vaul purchased the property in 1947. At one time the De
Vaul's owned considerable land in the county. this is the last major piece of properry belonging
to the family (Schoniger pers. comm.).
The currenttenant, Gisele Schoniger, has lived in the house for l5 years, priorto that it was used
for a short time in the 1970's as an alternate grade school known as the Community School.
DE VAUL RANCH
Construction details in the house, bam and outhouse point to an early development of the ranch
and it is clear the development started in the late 1870's by Harry and Margaret Foreman. Larer.
it was a dairy and in 1903, the properry owner was R.J. Bullock, great grandfather of the current
generation of De Vaul's. During the 1900's, the land wbs used for dry farming and the range
leased for cattle. Crops planted were garbanzo, squash, pumpkin and barlgy. This is the last
remaining ranch that was part of the extensive De Vaul holdings (Schonigei pers. comm. ). pan
of the complex on the "windward" side was fenced by eucalyptus trees. ihe-remaining trees are
an extremely old planting. "Old" eucalyptus groves are referred to in local newspaper articles
from the 1880's and 90's. Part of the older fence boards in the barn area were l2i to 20" wide
redwood planks that were fastened with square nails. Along the south side, barbed wire was
used with living walnut trees as posts. The barbed wire has been grown over and covered by the
trunks and in some places the wire has gown at least 2 ft higher than the original height of ine
t'ence. Remains of farm equipment are still common in the area.
STRUCTURES
House
The "country home" built by the Foreman's followed a trend, albeit in a less exuberant manner,
that started in California in 1852 when'an editorial in the Alta California claimed that almost
every San Franciscan of means planned to build a country house (Kirker l936). Cunently
known as the De Vaul house, the single story house is in good condition and is approximately
120 years old. Some of the features common to the Italianate style (mid-1860's to I 880's are a
part of this house, particularly in the interior. The exterior window treatment has elements of
three styles; the hood molds over the windows found in Gothic Revival (1830-1880) (Blumenson
1981), the rectangular bay of the San Francisco Stick (1870's to 1890) that has vertical stick
motifs on the top and bottom, and the long, narrow double sash openings that are capped with
cornice and a protruding sill typical of the ltalianate style. The extra detailing would have been
more commonly found within the City of San Luis Obispo and not a part of a working ranch
household where extra features more often were added to the barns and dairies.
The interior boasts of high ceilings, approximately l4 feet, with glass transomes over the
doorways. The central hall with its series of doors leading to the gentleman's partor and the
ladies parlor with its own bay window can be joined with the opening of q pocket door. Rooms
offboth sides of the hallwai have pocket doors connecting them. The hall ends under a
graceful, high sculpted archway that leads into the back portion and kitchen area. [n one of the
front rooms a rare painted, molded, rnetal fireplace insert is still in place. The front portion of
the house still retains the design characteristics from when it was fiist constructed.
Barn
The barn has had wood replaced through the years as well as roofing. It also has some very u,ide
redwood planks remaining with square nails as fasteners. Evidences of use remain with
stanchions from the dairy and rotting gunny sacks that held the beans. Parts of old harnesses tbr
horse plowing mingle with a variety of old bottles and hardware. The back of the bam is
completely open and only the roof is in fair condition. Boards barely hold the structure together
and its future is perilous. On the fence adjacent to the barn there are brands on the post and
board - DJ (unidentified brand) and AD presumably for Arva De Vaul.
Other
Two other small old structures remain in the complex. One is the original outhouse, however,
not in its original location and the other an old shed with the words "Community Club" over thedoor' Parts of old equipment and milk cans have been placed "artfully" aroundihe garden by
the present tenant as landscaping devices
There is a tall fountain that is in the middle of the front walkway that was brought around Cape
Horn and it is still operational (Schoniger pers. comm.). It adds emphasis to th; design of the
house and is an important detail to the overall architectural style.
DISCUSSION
The De Vaul house_is about 120 years old, one of the oldest frame structures still existing within
the vicinity of the City of San Luis Obispo. It appears to be older than the two remainirig farm
homes in the area. One is the Froom Ranch adjacent on the east side of the property. The
Frogm was a dairy operation in the 1880's and parts of the dairy relateO structurls from-the earlyperiod are still in evidence, however, the house was built afteri9o0. The other farm known as
the Long/Bonetti Ranch, also from the 1880's, has only two side sections remaining possibly
from that period (Triem 1990). [t is currently undergoing a development process to reuse and
add to the historic complex.
The unique and unusual architecture as a "country home" makes the De Vaul House a valuableaddition to our historic landscape. The addition Oia tittte to change the original character of thehouse except to add two bathrooms and a more cunent kitchen. itre addit[n is not seen from
the front of the house and does not detract from the'original period of construction.
The barn is in a very dilapidated statO and not a part of the original intent of the property as a"country house"' [t was used as a dairy during the ownership of Rnnie Nelson, and later asstorage for equipment used for crops and dry iarming.
CONCLUSION/RE COMMENDATIONS

IIL Age
The on-site investigation and records search ofthe historic structures existing on the,De Vaul
Ranch found a potentially significant historic ffiucture and historic ranch remains. The
complex also contains the original and as yet uhlocated privy site.
The City of San Luis Obispo does not have suf,ficient cultural resource documentation on many
of the areas surrounding the downtown core. This has not allowed the remaining early.
farm/ranch complexes to have been put on the City's list of historic properties. There has been
no comprehensive study and evaluation of the.our city's rural roots. Only recently have
individual projects brought some of these properties to our attention as part of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) evaluatioi process. As the surrounding land is annexed,
these remaining properties often are our only reminders of our agricultural background.
Remains of family farms as well as cattle and dairy ranches are in danger of all disappearing as
individually they are often minor structures on the landscape.
In this case of the De Vaul Ranch, the house is"in Very good condition with only minor
modifications to the original building. lt is alsg most interesting in the design details and
original use as a "country house". Iis very eaiiy date of construction also insures the house ot'
rare company with the few remaining wood hcjuses in the county that pre-date 1880. s
It is sometimes diflicult to absorb rural buildings within an urban landscape without also
maintaining some of the rural landscape surrounding the building. Often an adaptive reuse plan
(e.g Long/Bonetti Ranch) andy'or the rural structure as a focal point within a planned
development (e.9. Rodriquez Adobe in a City park) can be very successful and give a special
quality to the project. This is the recommendation of this consultant. The importance of
retaining pockets of our early development as well as tristoric districts has already been
expressed by the city.
Results of this research and application of the QiU's criteria recommends the "country house''
with its fountain entrance walkway be preserved as a culturally significant structure. The
location of the house at the west end of the level area with hills forming directly at the rear oi'-
the house allows a view shed to remain naturally as one views the house from the front even
with the proposed development. The barn is too fiagile and separate from the "country house"
to be kept without complete rebuilding. It is also not o'unique". However, photo documentation,
and basic plans of the barn and its contents, before removal would be an important part of
allowing the continuity of land use history to be made available for study. The privy site, if
uncovered should be studied by an archaeologist who specializes in historical sites.
The alternative mitigation procedure would be a complete documentation and recording of the
remaining structures done to HABS (Historic American Buildings Survey) and HAER (Historic
American Engineering Record) standards prior to removal. This would also be required to some
degree if modifications to the structure were necessary. Removal of the house and fountain is
not recommended and strongly discouraged.

1 9. Brief ly discuss the property's importance within the context. Use historical and architectural analysis as appropriate,
Compare with similar properties.
This house occupies a portion of the land granted by United States Patent to William Stenner in 1 875. Before the house was
built the title transferred from Stenner to Phillip Biddle, thence to Mr. D. R. and Alice Venable, G.M.P. Anholm, and Carlos
Serrano, Mr. Serrano sold the property to Dr. W.H. Brazil in 1 929. The house remained the property of the Brazil family until
1 975, when it was sold to Ralph Jacobsen. This Tudor Revival house is in good condition. Although it has been extensively
modified, the street-facing elevation retains much of the house's original architectural character.
