Updated Description: The 778180-78182 Avenida La Fonda dwelling was constructed in 1949 in the Village neighborhood. The
multi-family residence was built as a Ranch style apartment building. The property was initially recorded by CRM Tech in 2006. It
was demolished in ca. 2011 and the lot is currently vacant. It is owned by the City of La Quinta.
Updated Significance: A prior survey evaluated the property as status code 6Z - found ineligible for NRHP, CRHR, and Local

and was not replaced at the time of the current survey. The historic resource is no longer extant. As such, the property is not eligible
for inclusion in the NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register.
