Executive Summary Kaplan Chen Kaplan conducted an historic resource evaluation of the house at 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue in the Hollywood section of the City of Los Angeles. The house was evaluated as a contributing building to a potential California Register Historic District in the 2009-10 Community Redevelopment Agency historic resource survey of the area. KCK reviewed the house, its setting and the proposed historic district to determine if the loss of that house would have a negative impact on the potential Colegrove Historic District. The subject house is located in a section of the district that was drawn to capture a few buildings in the northwest corner of the potential historic district where its boundary jogs up. Both the 1300 and 1400 blocks of North Las Palmas Avenue have the fewest potential contributing buildings and conversely have the highest concentration of non-contributing buildings. The other blocks in the potential Colegrove Historic District contain at least 70 contributing buildings that are more visually related to each other thus retaining a feeling of historic setting. The loss of the subject property, 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue, would not have a negative impact on the potential Colegrove Historic District. Hollywood Area Development History Hollywood was established as an independent city in the Los Angeles area in 1903 when it was still primarily rural with a population of approximately 700. In the 20 years before, Anglo land owners and developers purchased large tracts of land including Cornelius Cole. Cornelius Cole was an early land owner and sub-divider who moved from northern California in 1880 after having served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives and as a U. S. Senator from California. Cole acquired his tract in 1893 Cole named it Colegrove. The parcels in the Colegrove tract sold for lower prices than those in Hollywood.1 By 1909 the incorporated City of Hollywood had grown to a population of 4,000. Infrastructure challenges led the way to consolidation and annexation to the larger City of Los Angeles. The Colegrove tract was annexed to the City of Los Angeles in 1909, the City of Hollywood was consolidated into Los Angeles in 1910, and East Hollywood was annexed in 1910, creating what is today generally known as the Hollywood area. With greater ability to provide infrastructure such as water, sewer and roads as part of the City of Los Angeles the greater Hollywood area experienced a real estate boom in the decade of the teens.2 During this period the motion picture industry began to root itself in the area and “the upscale ambience, varied

topography, and glamour associated with the rise of the movie industry were some of the qualities of Hollywood particularly appealing to potential residents.”3 At this time land was bought, sub-divided and sold land by a growing number of realty firms. Growth continued through most of the 1920s, with the Hollywood area having a population of around 153,000 by the 1930s. Construction data for the CRA portion of Hollywood shows the pace of residential development: 114 projects between 1900-1910; 503 between 1911-1920; and 786 between 1921-1930. The architectural development of Hollywood paralleled that of surrounding areas in Southern California. Enthusiasm for stylistic trends resulted in an eclectic blend that sometimes took on exuberance in its Hollywood incarnation. Turn of the 20th century embraced the Victorian Queen Anne style followed by Mission Revival and the American Foursquare genres. In the first decade of the 20th century the bungalow, with roots in the emerging Craftsman movement, became popular. The bungalow, a one-story house with gently pitched broad gabled roof, could be built in a wide variety of configurations and exterior finishes. They also ran the gamut from highly styled designs incorporating Swiss or Japanese influences to simple, basic housing. In the 1920s the bungalow or small house evolved to incorporated stylistic elements of American Colonial Revival or Mediterranean styles. In the 1920s Hollywood began to adopt a more formal approach to building. As its image of film capital of the world emerged, commercial buildings and to some extent residences, began to be more embellished and self-important. The 1920s was also the era of revival styles, and Tudor, Norman, Chateauesque and Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean styles were used in building designs. Neighborhood Development History and Building Description A review of the Sanborn Maps shows that in 1913 the subject house was one of four houses on the east side of the 1400 block of North Las Palmas Avenue; there were three houses on the west side, north of LeMoyne Avenue (now known as Leland Way). By 1919 the block had been almost fully developed on the east side with single-family houses with similar setbacks. The west side contained the same development as in 1913: one very large parcel at the north end of the block and two smaller lots with single-family houses at the south end. The 1950 Sanborn Map shows that redevelopment of the block had begun with the addition of apartment buildings. The house at 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue was constructed in 1907 according to Los Angeles County Assessor records. There was no original building permit in the files of the City of Los Angeles.

The house is a one-story, Craftsman style bungalow. It has a side gable roof and the roof projects out at the street façade to create an overhang for a full porch. The roof has a wide overhang and rafter tails are exposed. The porch roof is supported by four piers of paired wood posts that rest on a clapboard-clad porch wall. The house is clapboard clad with composition roof. A centered dormer with splayed sides features a gable-front cap with intersecting wood members that create a design above the dormer windows. There are three double-hung dormer windows: the middle window upper sash contains diamond shape lights while the flanking windows upper sash contain rectangular lights. The dormer is clearly off center; it is positioned closer to the north end of the west elevation. The entry door is centered along the porch between the two sets of paired porch piers and several steps lead up to the porch. There is a large window on each side of the entry door. A driveway is located on the north side of the house and there is a garage in the rear. City Directories show that over the years, occupants of the house from the 1920s to the 1940s worked as grocer, studio worker, janitor, clerk, bookkeeper and chauffeur. No historic significant persons or events have been identified with the house at 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue. Eligibility Criteria National Register of Historic Places The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 established the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) as an authoritative guide “used by Federal, State, and local governments, private groups and citizens to identify the Nation’s cultural resources and indicate what properties should be afforded protection from destruction or impairment.” (36 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 60.) Buildings, districts, sites and structures may be eligible for listing in the National Register if they possess significance at the national, state or local level in American history, culture, architecture or archeology, and in general, are over 50 years old. Significance is measured against the following established criteria (National Register Bulletin 16):

A. Are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or

B. Are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or

C. Embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or



4

D. Yield, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

In addition, a resource must retain enough integrity to “convey its significance” (National Register Bulletin 15). An analysis of integrity is based on: location, design, feeling, association, setting, workmanship and materials. Buildings may be eligible for inclusion on the National Register as an individual resource and/or as a contributor to a district. A resource which no longer reflects historic significance as a result of damage or alterations is not eligible for the National Register. National Register Bulletin 15 states that an historic “district possesses a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of sites, buildings, structures, or objects united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development.” The Bulletin goes on to note that “a district derives its importance from being a unified entity, even though it is often composed of a wide variety of resources. The identity of a district results from the interrelationship of its resources, which can convey a visual sense of the overall historic environment or be an arrangement of historically or functionally related properties.” To be considered a National Register eligible historic district it “must be significant, as well as being an identifiable entity. It must be important for historical, architectural, archeological, engineering, or cultural values. Therefore, districts that are significant will usually meet the last portion of Criterion C plus Criterion A, Criterion B, other portions of Criterion C, or Criterion D.” Bulletin 15 also states that “a district can contain buildings, structures, sites, objects, or open spaces that do not contribute to the significance of the district. The number of noncontributing properties a district can contain yet still convey its sense of time and place and historical development depends on how these properties affect the district's integrity.” Also “a district must be a definable geographic area that can be distinguished from surrounding properties by changes such as density, scale, type, age, style of sites, buildings, structures, and objects, or by documented differences in patterns of historic development or associations…The boundaries must be based upon a shared relationship among the properties constituting the district.” In addition, “a district is usually a single geographic area of contiguous historic properties; however, a district can also be composed of two or more definable significant areas separated by nonsignificant areas. A discontiguous district is most appropriate… [and where] visual continuity is not a factor in the significance” such as a linear feature like a canal. Bulletin 15 adds that “it is not appropriate to use the discontiguous district format to include an isolated resource or small group of resources which were once connected to the district, but have since been separated either through demolition or new construction. For example, do not use the discontiguous district format to nominate individual



5

buildings of a downtown commercial district that have become isolated through demolition.” The National Register of Historic Places is administered by the National Park Service. Owner consent is required for privately owned resources to be individually listed in the National Register. However, a resource that meets National Register criteria but lacks owner consent may be given a formal “determination of eligibility.” Listing in the National Register recognizes a historic resource’s significance to the nation, state, or community. The National Register program provides technical assistance to aid local and state governments in applying criteria and analyzing integrity, as well as guidelines for rehabilitation of historic properties, such as the “Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.” Eligible resources are given consideration in the planning process for federal or federally assisted projects and may apply for federal tax incentives. When discretionary federal funds are available (i.e., disaster response), National Register eligible resources qualify for federal assistance for repair. Section 106 of the NHPA requires that federal agencies must take into account the effects of their undertakings (including funding) on historic properties (36 CFR 800.1(a)). The California Register of Historical Resources The State of California administers historic preservation programs through the Office of Historic Preservation in the Department of Parks and Recreation in the Resources Agency. State programs include the California Landmarks program that recognizes sites and structures of state-wide significance, and the Points of Historical Interest, which recognize sites and structures of local or county-wide significance. The California Register, adopted in 1992 (official regulations effective January 1, 1998), is the “authoritative guide to be used by state and local agencies, private groups, and citizens to identify the state’s historical resources and indicate which properties are to be protected, to the extent prudent and feasible, from substantial adverse change.” (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, State Historical Resources Commission, Regulations for the Nomination of Historical Resources to the California Register of Historical Resources.) State and local agencies may also determine which resources are to be considered in order to comply with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements. The California Register criteria are based on National Register criteria. As noted in California Office of Historic Preservation Technical Assistance Series #6, California Register and National Register: A Comparison (based on California Code of Regulations (“CCR”), Title 14, Section 4852), “because the California Register was consciously designed on the model of the National Register, the two programs are extremely similar.” It further states “when trying to determine if



6

a resource is eligible for the California Register, you may find it easier to first determine a resource’s eligibility for the National Register. Then, if you find it ineligible for the National Register—and keeping in mind the differences between the two programs—move on to determine if it may in fact be eligible for the California Register as a result of these differences.” California properties (individual buildings and contributors to districts) that meet these criteria may be listed in the California Register. If the owner of a historical resource objects to the nomination, the property is not listed in the California Register, but the State Commission may formally designate the resource as eligible for listing. Listing in the California Register does not protect the resource from demolition or alteration, but it does require environmental review for proposed projects. Some resources are listed automatically (such as resources already on the National Register); others are nominated through an application and public hearing process administered by the California Office of Historic Preservation. The California Register automatically includes California properties listed or formally determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Other historic resources require action by the State Historical Resources Commission to be listed in the California Register. Some resources, including State Landmarks with numbers preceding No. 770 and California Points of Historical Interest, require review and action by the Commission prior to listing, but are not subject to formal nomination and application procedures. All other resources require formal nomination and must go through an application process to be listed or formally determined eligible for inclusion to the California Register; nominations may be made by individuals, organizations, or government agencies. Resources that require nomination include 1) an historical resource or historic district; 2) an historical resource contributing to the significance of a nominated historic district; 3) a group of historical resources identified in historic resource surveys, if the survey meets criteria and standards of documentation listed in CCR Title 14, Section 4852(e); 4) an historical resource, a group of historical resources, or historic districts designated or listed as city or county landmarks or historical resources or districts pursuant to any city or county ordinance, if the criteria for designation or listing under the ordinance have been reviewed by the Office of Historic Preservation as meeting the California Register and approved by the Commission; or 5) an historical resource or a group of local historical resources designated under any municipal or county ordinance which has not been previously approved by the Office of Historic Preservation. To be eligible for inclusion on the California Register, one of the following criteria must be met (as listed in CCR Title 14 Section 4852(b)(1)-(4)):



7

1. It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States; or

2. It is associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history; or

3. It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values; or

4. It has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.

According to the California Register guidelines “historic districts are unified geographic entities which contain a concentration of historic buildings, structures, objects, or sites united historically, culturally, or architecturally. Historic districts are defined by precise geographic boundaries. Therefore, districts with unusual boundaries require a description of what lies immediately outside the area, in order to define the edge of the district and to explain the exclusion of adjoining areas. The district must meet at least one of the criteria for significance discussed.” As noted in California Office of Historic Preservation Technical Assistance Series #6, California Register and National Register: A Comparison (based on CCR, Title 14, Section 4852) “integrity is the authenticity of an historical resource’s physical identity evidenced by the survival of characteristics that existed during the resource’s period of significance. Historical resources eligible for listing in the California Register must meet one of the criteria of significance described above and retain enough of their historic character or appearance to be recognizable as historical resources and to convey the reasons for their significance. Historical resources that have been rehabilitated or restored may be evaluated for listing. Integrity is evaluated with regard to the retention of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. It must also be judged with reference to the particular criteria under which a resource is proposed for eligibility. Alterations over time to a resource or historic changes in its use may themselves have historical, cultural, or architectural significance.” According to California Office of Historic Preservation Technical Assistance Series #6, California Register and National Register: A Comparison (based on CCR, Title 14): “It is possible that historical resources may not retain sufficient integrity to meet the criteria for listing in the National Register, but they may still be eligible for listing in the California Register. A resource that has lost its historic character or appearance may still have sufficient integrity for the



8

California Register if it maintains the potential to yield significant scientific or historical information or specific data.” California Office of Historic Preservation Technical Assistance Series #6, California Register and National Register: A Comparison (based on CCR, Title 14) also identifies special considerations. A moved building, structure, or object that “is otherwise eligible may be listed in the California Register if it was moved to prevent its demolition at its former location and if the new location is compatible with the original character and use of the historical resource. An historical resource should retain its historic features and compatibility in orientation, setting, and general environment.” A resource less than 50 years old “may be considered for listing in the California Register if it can be demonstrated that sufficient time has passed to understand historical importance.” City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument The City of Los Angeles designates sites, buildings, or structures of particular historic or cultural significance to the City of Los Angeles as Historic-Cultural Monuments. The criteria for a resource to be designated a City Monument include resources that: “may be a historic structure or site in which the broad cultural, political, economic or social history of the nation, state or community is reflected or exemplified. It may be identified with historic personages or with important events in the main currents of national, state or local history. It may embody the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for study of a period style or method of construction, or a notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose individual genius influenced his or her age.” (Ordinance 153.893, Section 22.130 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code).

The City of Los Angeles recognizes historic districts as Historic Preservation Overlay Zones (HPOZ). The HPOZ is a planning tool that adds a level of protection to an area by creating a review board to evaluate proposals for alterations, demolitions or new construction. An HPOZ is a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of sites, buildings, structures, or objects united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development. The criteria for the designation of an HPOZ contributor includes:

1. Adds to the historic architectural qualities or historic associations for which a property is significant because it was present during the period of significance, and possesses historic integrity reflecting its character at that time; or

2. Owing to its unique location or singular physical characteristics, represents an established feature of the neighborhood, community or city; or



9

3. Retaining the building, structure, landscaping, or natural feature, would

contribute to the preservation and protection of a historic place or area of historic interest in the City.

Significance of Association National Register Bulletin 32, Guidelines for Evaluating and Documenting Properties Associated with Significant Persons, provides technical guidance to federal, state and local government about applying criteria to measure whether association with a person or persons meets the threshold for historic significance:

1. Specific individuals must have made contributions or played a role that can be justified as significant within a defined area of American history or prehistory.

2. For properties associated with several community leaders or with a prominent family, it is necessary to identify specific individuals and to explain their significant accomplishments.

3. Contributions of individuals must be compared to those of others who

were active, successful, prosperous, or influential in the same field. Bulletin 32 also states “associations with one or more individuals in a particular profession, economic or social class, or ethnic group will not automatically qualify a property.” Aspects of Integrity The National Park Service Bulletin, How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation, defines seven “aspects of integrity” and provides technical information on their application. Integrity is defined as “the ability of a property to convey its significance.” To “retain historic integrity a property will always possess several, and usually most, of the aspects.” The seven aspects of Integrity are: location, design, setting, material, workmanship, feeling, and association. Location is the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred. Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property. Setting is the physical environment of a historic property. Materials are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property. Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory.



10

Feeling is a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property. For a historic district to retain integrity as a whole, “the majority of the components that make up the district’s historic character must possess integrity even if they are individually undistinguished. In addition, the relationships among the district’s components must be substantially unchanged since the period of significance. When evaluating the impact of intrusions upon the district’s integrity, take into consideration the relative number, size, scale, design, and location of the components that do not contribute to the significance. A district is not eligible if it contains so many alterations or new intrusions that it no longer conveys the sense of a historic environment.” Evaluation of 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue In 2009-10 an historic resources survey was conducted for the Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles for the Hollywood Redevelopment Project Area. The project area was 1,107-acres in size and located approximately six miles northwest of the Los Angeles Civic Center at the foot of the Hollywood Hills. The project area was generally bounded by Franklin Avenue on the north, Serrano Avenue on the east, Santa Monica Boulevard and Fountain Avenue on the south and La Brea Avenue on the west. That survey identified eight historic districts that appeared eligible for the California Register of Historic Resources. These eight potential historic districts contained a total of 184 potential contributing resources. One of these potential historic districts was the Colegrove Historic District. This potential historic district, comprised of 77 contributing resources, is generally located between North McCadden Place and Wilcox Avenue with DeLongpre as the northern boundary and was considered to likely extend south of the project area (the scope of the 2009 survey was limited to the Redevelopment Area). The subject property at 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue is one of 77 buildings that could contribute to a potential historic district, the Colegrove Historic District, in the Hollywood area. The house is located at the northwest area of the potential historic district. The historic district border jogs north right behind the property at 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue. At this point the district lines jogs north, then west, then south, then west, then north to capture six properties: 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue, 1424 North Las Palmas Avenue, 1425 North Las Palmas Avenue, 1419 North Las Palmas Avenue, 6711 Leland Way, and 1428 N. McCadden Place. A review of the individual survey DPR forms shows that 1424 North Las Palmas Avenue has been altered and is not a good example of any architectural style and as such appears that is should not have been rated as a contributing



11

resource. The north half of the 1400 block of North Las Palmas block does not contain any potential contributing buildings. The 1300 block of North Las Palmas Avenue contains only one potential contributing building on the west side and two on the east side. This stands in contrast to the 1300 blocks of North McCadden Place, North Cherokee Avenue, North June Street, and North Seward Street, all of which have at least half of the houses on both sides of the street designated as contributing buildings. The subject property at 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue is surrounded on all sides and across the street by non-contributing buildings. The house that is two parcels away to the north, 1424 North Las Palmas Avenue, appears to have been misidentified as it is not a significant example of any style and does not retain good architectural integrity. The buildings with the address of 1402 North Las Palmas Avenue face DeLongpre Avenue and relate to that street, not the 1400 block of North Las Palmas Avenue. The remaining two potential contributing houses on the 1400 North Las Palmas Avenue block are located across the street and to the north of the subject building. The subject building, that is set back from the sidewalk and has a front lawn, is flanked by a two-story, non-contributing apartment building on its north that has a lot line almost to the sidewalk. On the south side of the subject building is another two-story non-contributing apartment building that also has its lot line almost to the sidewalk. Thus the house at 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue is isolated and there is no visual historic continuity on this block. There is no visual relationship between the house at 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue and other contributing buildings, most of which lie to the south of Delongpre Avenue. In terms of the criteria for designation as an individual landmark, the house at 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue is not individually eligible for the National Register, California Register or as a City of Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument. There are no historic persons or events associated with the property. The house at 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue is a modest example of a Craftsman style bungalow. The overall design of the house appears to be symmetrical, arranged around a central entry bay, however, the dormer is slightly off center. There is no architectural or stylistic reason for this position. Rather it appears to be a miscalculation of construction. In terms of the seven aspects of Integrity are: location, design, setting, material, workmanship, feeling, and association. The house at 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue is in its original location but its setting has been altered as it is flanked on both sides by later apartment buildings. The design of the house is original to its construction but it is not a significant architectural example of the Craftsman style. The house retains much original material but its workmanship is relatively modest as evidenced by the slightly off-centered dormer. There is no association with any historic persons or events.



12

The 1400 block of North Las Palmas Avenue contains many alterations and later construction that it no longer conveys the sense of a historic environment. The boundary at this section of the potential historic district jogs up to capture a few buildings on that block, however, as noted one of those buildings (1424) does not appear to be a contributing building and the remaining are not visually related and as a result there is not a strong sense of an historic setting on this block. The 1400 blocks of North McFadden Place, North Cherokee Avenue, North June Street and North Seward Street are not included in the potential historic district. The 1300 blocks of the above streets are in the district and each street has at least half of the buildings evaluated as being potential contributing buildings to the historic district. Conversely the 1400 North block of North Las Palmas Avenue with less than half of its buildings as potential contributors has been included in the potential historic district. The loss of the subject property, 1414 North Las Palmas Avenue, would not have a negative impact on the potential Colegrove Historic District. The subject house is located in a section of the district that was drawn to capture a few buildings in the northwest corner where the boundary jogs up. Both the 1300 and 1400 blocks of North Las Palmas Avenue have the fewest potential contributing buildings and conversely have the highest concentration of non-contributing buildings. The other blocks in the potential Colegrove Historic District contain at least 70 contributing buildings that are more visually related to each other thus retaining a feeling of historic setting.
