FROM: Michael Codron, Community Development Director
Prepared By:Walter Oetzell, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT:ADD THE PROPERTY AT 1568 HIGUERA TO THE MASTER LIST OF
HISTORIC RESOURCES AS “THE MILES FITZGERALD HOME” AND ADD
THE PROPERTY AT 1582 & 1592 HIGUERA AND 1061 GROVE TO THE
CONTRIBUTING PROPERTIES LIST OF HISTORIC RESOURCES
RECOMMENDATION
As recommended by the Cultural Heritage Committee, adopt a resolution (Attachment A) adding
the property at 1568 Higuera Street to the Master List of Historic Resources as “The Miles
Fitzgerald Home,”and adding the property at 1582 & 1592 Higuera Street and 1061 Grove
Street to the Contributing Properties List of Historic Resources
DISCUSSION
The owner of the subject properties has requested that they be includ ed in the City’s Master List
of Historic Resources. The properties are not currently included in the City’s Inventory of
Historic Resources, nor are they located within any historic district.
On May 21, 2018 the Cultural Heritage Committee considered this request and found that both
properties meet eligibility criteria for historic listing, but that only the property at 1568 Higuera
(referred to as the “Miles Fitzgerald
Home”) qualified for designation as a
Master List Historic Resource.
Accordingly, the Committee
recommended that the City Council add
1568 Higuera to the Master List of
Historic Resources and add the other
property (1582 & 1592 Higuera and
1061 Grove) to the Contributing List of
Historic Resources.
Site and Setting
The subject properties are two parcels
at the northwest corner of Higuera and
Grove Streets, in an Office (O) Zone. The immediate surroundings are characterized by older
single-family dwellings of various styles, some converted to office use, and several small-scale
commercial buildings. Though many of the residential structures are older buildings with
historical character, no properties in these blocks of Higuera or Grove are included in the City’s
Inventory of Historic Resources.
The property at 1568 Higuera is developed with a single-family residence built in 1925,

(hereinafter referred to as the Fitzgerald Home) and a detached garage added a year later.1 The
adjacent property has a duplex (1582 & 1592 Higuera) built in 1928 and a single-family
residence (1061 Grove) built in 1929 (hereinafter referred to as the Steiner Residences).2
A Historic Resource Evaluation has been prepared for the property by Betsy Bertrando of
Bertrando & Bertrando Research Consultants, describing the history of the properties
(Attachment C), the buildings, and the people associated with them. This report summarizes
relevant information from the Bertrando Evaluation.
Building Architecture
As described in the Historic Resource Evaluation, all three of the buildings are of a Spanish
Colonial Revival style, stucco with tiled roofs. Thomas Maino, a noted local builder, is identified
as the builder of the Steiner Residences, and is presumed to be the builder of the Fitzgerald
Home.3 The architectural characteristics of the structures on these properties is more fully
discussed in the Historic Resource Evaluation submitted with this application, and summarized
in the Evaluation section of this report, below.
The Fitzgerald Family 4
Miles Andrew Fitzgerald was the second child (of six) born to Andrew F. Fitzgerald, an Irish
immigrant and Mary F. Duff, whose family came to the area in the late 19th century. Andrew
Fitzgerald was an insurance and real estate agent, served on the Grand Jury and as City
Treasurer, and was active in the community, helping select the location of the City Library and
Cal Poly.
Miles Fitzgerald was born in San Luis Obispo in 1893. In 1923 he was elected as City Attorney,
a post he held for more than forty years,5 and served on various City committees during this
period. Echoing the work of his father, he served on the Librar y Board, finding a new location
for the library and arranging the use of the Carnegie Library as a museum. He was a founding
member of the San Luis Obispo County Historical Society and was instrumental in the
acquisition and preservation of the Dallidet Adobe, a local landmark and Master List Historic

Resource. Miles and his wife Emma moved into the house at 1568 Higuera in 1925 after its
completion and resided there throughout their lives (Miles died in 1967; Emma in 1982).
Anna M. Steiner6
Anna M. Steiner was an immigrant from Switzerland who settled on a ranch in Edna with her
husband Karl and, after his death, moved into the recently-completed duplex at 1582 & 1592
Higuera in 1928. She lived in the building, renting the adjoining unit and the adjacent single-
family dwelling (completed in 1929) until her death in 1943. Among her tenants were health care
practitioners associated with Mountain View Hospital and Stover’s Sanitarium (now French
Hospital) nearby.
Evaluation of Eligibility for Listing
For a property to be eligible for listing as an historic or cultural resource, the resource must
exhibit a high level of historic integrity, be at least 50 years old, and meet one or more of the
eligibility criteria described in § 14.01.070 of the Historic Preservation Ordinance (see
Attachment D). As provided in § 14.01.050 of the Ordinance, eligible resources that maintain
their original or attained historic and architectural character, and contribute, either by themselves
or in conjunction with other structures, to the unique or historic character of a neighborhood,
district, or to the City as a whole, may be designated as "Contributing List Resources or
Properties." The most unique and important resources and properties in terms of age,
architectural or historical significance, rarity, or association with important persons or events in
the City’s past may be designated as “Master List Resources.”
Architectural Criteria
As detailed in the Historic Resource Evaluation prepared for this application, the buildings on
both properties satisfy criteria under § 14.01.070 A (1) related to architectural style. Stucco
cladding, red clay tile roofs, wood-frame casement and double-hung windows, and arched
building features are common to all the buildings, embodying the distinctive characteristics of
the Spanish Colonial Revival style, popular in the early decades of the 20th Century (see
Attachment E), with several extant examples throughout the City. The Fitzgerald Home also has
a distinctive corredor, a wide porch under a low roof with exposed rafters, running across the
front of the house, and a “U-shaped” layout providing a pleasant courtyard on its east side. The
Grove Street house has wrought-iron grillwork at the base of the entry window. All of the
buildings are attributed to Thomas Maino, a noted local builder of the time, and exhibit notable
attractiveness arising from a high quality of design, detailing, and craftsmanship.
Historic Criteria
The Fitzgerald Home is closely associated with the Miles A. Fitzgerald, a person important to
local history, as summarized in this report and detailed in the Historic Resource Evaluation
prepared for this application, satisfying criteria under § 14.01.070 (B) (1) and (B) (3) related to
historical persons and context. Mr. Fitzgerald lived at 1568 Higuera for about 45 years, most of
his adult life. He was particularly significant to the communit y as a public servant, with a long
period of service as City Attorney and in other important funct ions in City government, through
his involvement in the foundation of the San Luis Obispo County Historical Society, and in
community organizations such as Rotary, Knights of Columbus, and the Order of the Elks.

Item 11
Integrity
Each of the buildings on the subject properties also exhibits a high level of historical integrity, in
satisfaction of criteria set out in § 14.01.070 (C). The buildings remain in their original locations
and are unaltered, except for a minor bathroom addition having been made to the Fitzgerald
Home in 1933, and subsequent minor alterations to the kitchen. With only two noted exceptions
(two replaced windows), the interiors retain original doors, windows, fixtures, hardware, and
built-in cabinetry.
Conclusion
According to the information in the applicant’s narrative documenting the historical significance
and architectural character of the houses, both properties are eligible for inclusion in the City’s
Inventory of Historic Resources. All of the structures convey a purity of style and exhibit
attractiveness through detailing and craftsmanship, and are associated with a notable builder,
satisfying the Architectural Criteria for Style, Design, and Architect set out in § 14.01.070 (A) of
the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance. They also occu py their original site, are largely
unaltered, and retain their characteristic design and materials, satisfying criteria for Integrity set
out in § 14.01.070 (B) of the Ordinance.
Notwithstanding the attractiveness and high level of craftsmanship exhibited by the Steiner
Residences, the Spanish Colonial Style is not particularly rare, and while Ms. Steiner was a
valued member of the community, the buildings do not exhibit a rare or unique architectural style
and do not appear to have association with people or events that would qualify the property for
designation as a “Master List Resource.” Thus, it is appropriate to designate the property at
1582 & 1592 Higuera and 1061 Grove Street as a “Contributing List Historic Resource.
The Fitzgerald Home is associated with the life of Miles A. Fitzgerald, a person significant to
local history as a public servant who made important contributions to the community through his
service as City Attorney and through his efforts as a founding member of the San Luis Obispo
County Historical Society to preserve important local historic landmarks. This association
satisfies Historic Criteria under § 14.01.070 (B) (1) of the Ordinance. The property at
1568 Higuera, therefor, qualifies for designation as a “Master List Resource.”
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). Inclusion of the subject properties on the City’s Inventory of Historic Resources
does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and so is covered
by the general rule described in § 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
FISCAL IMPACT
Listing of properties as historic resources has no fiscal impact.

SPANISH COLONIAL REVIVAL
Enormously popular in Southern California from the late 1910s through the late 1930s, the Spanish
Colonial Revival style emerged from a conscious effort by architects to emulate older Spanish
architectural traditions, and break with Eastern colonial influences. At the peak of its popularity, design
features of other regions of the Mediterranean were often creatively incorporated, including those of
Italy, France, and North Africa. The result was a pan-Mediterranean mélange of eclectic variations on
Spanish Revival styles.
Character-defining features include:
x Asymmetrical facade
x Red clay tile hip or side-gable roof, or flat roof with a tile-clad parapet
x Stucco exterior cladding, forming uninterrupted wall planes
x Wood-frame casement or double-hung windows, typically with divided lights
x Arched colonnades, window or door openings
x Decorative grilles of wood, wrought iron, or plaster
x Balconies, patios or towers
x Decorative terra cotta or tile work
