RECOMMENDATION: As recommended by the Cultural Heritage Committee (CHC), adopt a resolution adding the property located at 868 Upham Street to the Master List of Historic Resources. DISCUSSION Background The property owners of 868 Upham Street (Attachment 1, Vicinity Map) have requested that their property be added to the Master List of Historic Resources. The property is currently not listed on either the Contributing or Master List of Historic Resources. Historic listing as either a Master List or a Contributing property requires a public hearing before the Cultural Heritage Committee(CHC), nomination to the City Council and Council approval. There are two types of historic resources in San Luis Obispo. Individual buildings that have significant historic or architectural value are called "Master List Properties". These are the most unique and/or important historic resources and merit special recognition and protection. A property may be listed as a Master List property if it meets any of the criteria in the Historic Preservation Program Ordinance(Municipal Code Chapter 14.01). The second type of historic resource is the "Contributing Property". A Contributing Property is defined as a structure "built before 1941 that has retained its original architectural style and when viewed in the context of its surroundings, contributes to the historic character of the area" (City Council Resolution No. 6424 (1988 Series). While most contributing properties are located within historic districts, the CHC and the City Council have determined they may be located anywhere in the City if they meet the above criteria. Site Data Applicants/Property Owners: Maggie and Jason Browning Zoning: R-2 (Medium-Density Residential) General Plan: Medium Density Residential Site Area: 9,300 square feet C5-1 o Council Agenda Report—Master List, 868 Upham Street Page 2 September 6, 2011 Site Description: The site is developed with the main residence at the front of the property and two accessory buildings at the rear of the property. Historic District: The property is not located within a historic district, but is located adjacent to the Railroad Historic District, and is two properties removed from the Old Town Historic District to the east. M lie \ `A Y , r � r � r _ Figure 1. Subject property and vicinity Architectural/Historical Background The architectural style of the home at 868 Upham Street is described in the Historic Resources Inventory as a "1-1/2 story Colonial Revival Style Bungaloid." The home exhibits characteristics of the Craftsman Bungalow style home and other historic styles. The Craftsman characteristics of the structure include clapboard siding, deep overhangs, projecting gable dormers, knee brace supports, exposed rafters with decorative cuts, and double hung sash windows. The interior of the structure contains the original casework, wood paneling, hardwood floors, and hardwood tapered columns, which are also characteristic features of the arts and crafts movement (Figures 2 & 3, below).

Exterior details and interior casework, paneling and coffered ceilings Figure 3. Lower and upper front gables The structure also blends architectural styles from different typologies with large bay windows which are considered a Victorian era transitional element and dentils which reflect neo-classical architecture. The structure exhibits excellent overall integrity with almost all original building features inside and out. The building has all the original double hung sashes, many of which have the original glass panes. It has not been determined when the porch enclosure at the front elevation occurred. The residence was built in the 1912-1913 timeframe by Harry E. Lyman, who also lived in the house with his family until his death in 1931. C5-3 Council Agenda Report—Master List, 868 Upham Street Page 4 September 6, 2011 Previous Owners Harry E. Lyman and Family Harry E. Lyman was born in Reno, Nevada and came to San Luis Obispo with his family at the age of 10. In 1903, he became a journeyman carpenter and in 1908 he was building homes on his own. Harry E. Lyman built a number of homes for prominent citizens of San Luis Obispo which are now on the Master List of Historic Resources. Harry Lyman also built several residences in the immediate vicinity of 868 Upham Street, and dozens of other homes in the City I (see Attachment 3, excerpts from Lyman Sample Projects 1910-1928, San Luis Obispo & Monday Club Walking Tour Page). Harry E. Lyman built the home at 868 Upham Street in the 1912- 1913 timeframe. The Lyman family included his wife Maggie, son Ellmer, and daughter Mabel. Harry E. Layman became ill and died in 1931 at the age of 53. His wife Maggie remained in the house until the mid-I950s'.Z Advisory Body Recommendation At its July 25, 2011 meeting, the CHC held a public hearing on the property owners' request to add the property to the Master List of Historic Resources. The Committee voted 6-0 to recommend the City Council add the property to the Master List as the historic "Harry E. Lyman House" because it meets the following listing criteria in the Historic Preservation Program Ordinance: Architectural Criteria 1. Architecture — Style. The building is an excellent example of a finer Craftsman style with eclectic influences. The structure is a Craftsman style home which incorporates Victorian era features and neo classical details. 2. Architecture — Design. The structure exhibits notable attractiveness with aesthetic appeal because of artistic merit, details and craftsmanship. 3. Architecture — Architect (individual or firm). Harry E. Lyman made significant contributions to San Luis Obispo by constructing many of the finer historic homes in the City of San Luis Obispo. Several of the homes Harry E. Lyman constructed are currently on the Master List of Historic Resources and many other homes which are primarily located in the Old Town Historic District and in the Upham Street neighborhood area. Int�r'ty 1. The structure occupies its original site and foundation. 2. The structure has maintained its historic character appearance to be recognizable as an historic resource and conveys the reasons for its significance with intact original building materials and architectural details in the exterior and interior.

Kinney : Secrets of Sites "Tracks From the Past", San Luis Obispo Architectural Tour, presented by the Monday Club C5-4 J G Council Agenda Report—Master List, 868 Upham Street Page 5 September 6, 2011 3. The resource has retained its design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. Effects of Historic Listing Once properties are added to the Master List, they are eligible to receive and display a historic plaque and to participate in the Mills Act Historic Preservation Program. Exterior site and building changes are possible, provided that such changes promote the structure's original architectural style and character. Significant site and architectural changes are referred to the . CHC to determine whether the changes are consistent with City standards and to meet California Environmental Quality Act requirements. FISCAL IMPACT Adding the property to the Master List will have no fiscal impact on the City. If the property is added to the Master List, the applicants will have the ability to apply for a Mills Act Historic Preservation Contract. To qualify for the Mills Act program, the property must be on the Master List of Historic Resources. Mills Act contracts require an application and fee of $3,691, commitment to specific improvements and/or maintenance of the property, review by the CHC, and final approval by the City Council. Fiscal impact analysis is included in the Council agenda reports for Mills Act contracts. ALTERNATIVES 1. Continue the item for additional analysis or research. 2. Deny the request to add the property located at 868 Upham Street to the Master List of Historic Resources and designate it as a Contributing historic property instead. ATTACHMENTS 1. Vicinity Map 2.

After reading the Historic Preservation Guidelines, we believe our home to be a good fit for historical designation based upon both its architecture and its history. The residence at 868 Upham Street is a Craftsman Bungalow style residence built in 1912. It is a two-story dwelling composed of painted wood surface material. Like other homes of this type, the roof is a medium pitch gable roof with side eave overhangs. Wide roof fascia boards adorn the roofline. The eaves display exposed rafters with custom work on the rafter ends. The home has two large dormers, one on either side of the second story. The majority of the structure's windows are original, most double hung and many with divided lights. The front fagade is oriented parallel with the street with a raised concrete stoop and a finish floor level rising approximately three feet above the grade. The front entry includes a prominent walk and an enclosed porch facing the street. In addition to the exterior architecture, the interior of the house remains consistent with the Craftsman style as well. Built-in cabinetry, beamed ceilings,. tapered columns and dark wood wainscoting decorate the dining and living rooms.!The fireplace is flanked by built in benches on either side. Simple, wide wood casings frame all interior windows and doors. The property at 868 Upham Street is comprised of three freestanding buildings. The fust structure on the property was a workshop built in 1908. This building was used by the contractor as a tool shed and workshop to build the main residence between 1912 and 1913. In addition, a 969 square foot garage was built in 1940. This garage structure is tucked into the rear of the lot in keeping with construction standards of the time. The original shop structure has been finished as a residential dwelling while the garage was converted into a home office space in 2005. Beyond the architectural significance of the home, 868 Upham Street has historical significance as well. Harry E. Lyman, a local contractor responsible for at least thirty major residential and commercial projects in the city of San Luis Obispo, built the home in 1912. Several Lyman projects are Master Listed by the city including the Bradbury House, the Paulson House, the Vollmer House, the Martha Dunlap House, the Kindergarten School, the Stover Building and the Carissa Building. The number of projects credited to Lyman indicates a man who has had a lasting impact on the physical C5-7 Attachment 2 character of our town. Of special interest, 868 Upham Street is the house Lyman built for his own mother, Laura Lyman. The 1914 City Directory lists Laura A. Lyman, Harry E. Lyman and Maggie Lyman as residents, indicating that Lyman lived in the house with his wife.and his mother. The 1922 Directory shows the house occupied by Harry and Maggie Lyman alone. By 1930, Lyman's two children, Mabel and Elmer, were also living in the home. Lyman died unexpectedly in the home on April 14, 1931 at the age of 53. His death was front-page news in the San Luis Obispo Daily Telegram with the headline "H.E. Lyman, Pioneer of County, Dies—Sudden Death Takes Loved Resident of City." The residence continued to be occupied.byLyman's widow, their daughter Mabel and granddaughter Jeudie until the 1950s. We recently had the pleasure of meeting Lyman's granddaughter who lived in the house from the time she was bom until the age of 10. She shared many stories of her childhood in this home and is a remarkable resource for detailing how.much of the home has remained unchanged from the time it was occupied by Lyman family. She has also generously shared many family photos detailing the history, both architectural and personal, of life in the Lyman House. 868 Upham Street was recently featured on The Monday Club's Architectural Tour. We have benefited from the research of.members of The Monday Club, personal recollections of Jeudie Lyman Lovell, and research undertaken by Jeanne Kinney. We believe ourselvesto be stewards of this historical structure. It is our sincere hope that the Lyman Horne.is considered as an addition to the.Master:List of Historic Resource's so that itis preserved for the benefit of future members of the community. Sincerely, Maggie and Jason Browning C5-8 Jeudie Lyma« ...,ve 868 NAM , still lives in California. ; She has contributed r _ ,?x .,11 family photos and ` information to this writing.

C5-9 4 5 LYMAN Sample Projects "1910-1928 San Luis Obispo - Attachment 3 The Lyman Legacy Of the dozens of projects in the city of San Luis Obispo that are credited to Harry Elmer Lyman,I have included photos of twenty-four,mostly residential. The rest of his work is either demolished, altered beyond recognition or relatively insignificant. Five of these projects included are on the Master List of Historic Resources for the city of San Luis Obispo, as of July 2008. These include the Bradbury House,the Paulson House,the Vollmer House,the Martha Dunlap House and the Kindergarten School. In addition, there is the likelihood that the Shipman House on Marsh Street is another Lyman project. There was a permit pulled in 1915 for 1127 Marsh Street. It could be one of four houses on the lot between 1129 and 1145 Marsh. All four houses are Master Listed. His client was Eliza Shipman who was shown residing at 1127 Marsh when a permit was later pulled for a garage. In addition two Master Listed commercial projects are attributed to Lyman.. The Stover Building at 1130 Garden Street was originally a Lyman building but was altered significantly in 1933 so is not pictured here. The Carissa Building at 736 Higuera was attributed to Lyman in the local paper. It is however believed to have been built in 1905 which predates any of his other known projects in San Luis Obispo. Also, it is a two story brick building which is not characteristic of his work. He did work on several notable buildings including the El Monterey Theater, the Park Reidy Hotel, and the Anderson House but nothing that was substantial or that remains. He "reportedly did two large commercial garages_the San Luis Garage and the McCabe Garage(possibly one garage at 1044 Monterey with two different owners over the years). The records used were extensively researched but it turns out that some buildings may have been overlooked. Because Lyman used initials and they were written with a flourish, some buildings were not transcribed as H.E. Lyman, but rather H.R. Lyman, or W.R. Lyman. I accidentally found out that at least three residences were missed in the initial search because of this. The vast majority of his work was single-story wood frame residences with a simple elegance. The designs are assured and the craftsmanship, solid. Much of his work is concentrated in the Old Town District, in particular on Upham and surrounding streets. He was born in Reno, Nevada in 1878 to Albert E. and Laura (Rugg) Lyman. His father was a Vermont-born engineer arriving in San Francisco from Montpelier in 1853. A cabinet maker by trade, he built shacks for the gold miners, and ran a sawmill in the Sierras. In 1865, he went to work for Central Pacific Railway based in Reno and stayed there for 23 years. The Lymans had four children: Albert Ernest (1876-1948) Harry Elmer(1878-1931), Edith (1884-1966, married C5-10 LYMAN Sample Project. 0-1928 San Luis Obispo Attachment 3 William H. Clevenger), and Frank G. (1882-1904). Frank was accidentally shot in the face in 1894 while playing with explosives and his date of death is listed as 1904 on I.O.O.F. records. While working for the railroad, he bought a 123-acre ranch San Luis Obispo and relocated here with his family in 1888. In addition to raising hay,grain and fruit he started a construction company, Albert Lyman and Sons. They built and settled into a home at 1330 El Camino Real known as either the Lyman House or the Nevada House. County records indicate it is a 2,892 square foot house completed in 1891 with three bedrooms and two baths.

The 1900 census shows Laura as head of household, a farmer, and the three sons as farm laborers, and one daughter, a student. He worked at Southern Pacific Railroad for a while but then became a journeyman carpenter until 1908 when be started taking on his own contracts. Between 1909 and 1929 he built at least three dozen major projects in the city. Reportedly; he had clients who were so pleased with his work that they didn't ask him for a bid. To a very select group,his reputation as a builder of good solid homes remains to this day. He married Agnes (Maggie) Sresovich of Lompoc and they had two children, Mabel Alberta(married Elbert Loveall later Peterson) 1906-1980 and George Elmer or`Bud" 1909 to 1978. In 1924 Lyman built a cabinet shop on Upham Street in San Luis Obispo and thereafter worked on very few building projects. He lived on Upham Street and it is thought that he may have done work out of that cabinet shop in his later years. I found no projects attributed to him in the city after 1928. The 1930 census lists him as the manager of a planing,mill. His sudden death on April 14, 1931 at age 53 was front page news in the local paper the San Luis Obispo Daily Telegram. The headline read"H.E. Lyman Pioneer of County Dies_Sudden Death Takes Loved Resident of City." He died in his home at 868 Upham Street.

The house was designed by an architect, Charles McKenzie, which was unusual in SLO for that period and an indication of the family wealth. According to Claire Vollmer (a granddaughter) the family is known as a ranching family but actually was more likely to have invested in ranches rather than worked them. The permit was issued to Marguerite, her husband was Ernest Vollmer, a son of August. Ernest was an insurance broker and briefly was the tax appraiser for the county; August was a founder of Morris and Garritano Insurance. Daniel Krieger's book describes how during World War II Ernest Vollmer and a partner tended to the properties of Japanese clients who had been interred, returning them to their owners in excellent condition.2 An elegant house, it is largely hidden by landscaping. It is on a double lot that is 100 feet wide by 150 deep. It is on the Master List of Historic Resources for the city. Two other Vollmer properties are shown on the Master List — the Vollmer Grocery at 740 Higuera Street and the Vollmer House at 497 Islay Street. -'"Looking Backward into the Middle Kingdom, San Luis Obispo County,"Daniel E.Kreiger,Windsor Publications, 1988. u C5-14 i � .

This house was built in 1912 for Laura Lyman (mother) and the 1914 City I' Directory indicates that it was the address for Harry E., Maggie, and Laura A. Lyman. The 1922 Directory shows it as the residence for Agnes Lyman i' housewife and H. E. Lyman contractor. The 1930 census shows him at this address as head of household with his wife, daughter (a stenographer), and son (circulation manager for the newspaper). Lyman died in this home in 1931. The property is more compound, than single residence. The home was a 32' x 48' single story wood structure. I couldn't locate any record of when the second story was added. County records indicate that it is a two story house with five bedrooms and 2.5 baths on two levels. It shows that it is 2,469 square feet.(original size). His brother (also a contractor) had built a 28' x 16' shop on the lot in 1908. There is another record for a 969 square foot residence built in 1940. In 2005 the barn(shop?)was converted to home office space. At some point, a 2,000 square foot portion of the rear of the adjacent lot (856 Upham, another Lyman house) was added to this property making an V'. Most likely the shop built in 1908 is on the added portion to the lot and the second residence is directly behind the main house. In spite of the buildings, there is ample room for landscaping and outdoor spaces.

It was built for Dr. R. M Bradbury in 1910. County records show it as a 1187 square foot house with two bedrooms and two baths. Bradbury later built the Bradbury Sanitarium next door at 743 Buchon Street. Both lots were formed by a rearrangement of three deep lots that were facing Garden Street but reoriented to face Buchon Street. Dr Bradbury was born in West Virginia around 1863. He married Amelia,a nurse. Census reports and the city directory show that they lived at a variety of addresses on Garden, Marsh,Monterey, Buchon, and Higuera Streets between 1910 and 1922. No stranger to good architecture, prior to moving here, he had worked with Dr. Stover at the Hageman Sanitarium at 1716 Osos Street, a Master Listed Property. Dr. Stover had the San Luis Sanitarium(Master Listed) built in 1911. It was designed by W.H. Weeks. In 1913 Stover commissioned Lyman to build the Stover Building at 1130 Garden Street. This building is Master Listed as well but is not included since a second floor was later added. Lyman built his residence at 1185 Monterey Street in 1922, now an auto dealership.
