DPR 523L (09/2013)
Identifier: 51733 Avenida Madero Date Constructed: 1937
UTM Zone: 11S, 563247 mE; 3726068 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 2; Recorded February 28, 1934, MB 18/56
Owner and Address: Anne Meier Faris; PO Box 35, La Quinta 92253
Updated Description: The 51733 Avenida Madero residence was constructed in 1937 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. The
residence was constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style with an "L" shaped plan. The residence has a multi-level shed roof
with a front porch set into the "L". There does not appear to have been any significant alterations to the residence since the previous
survey.
Updated Significance: This dwelling is a contributor to the La Quinta Cove Thematic Historic District which is considered eligible
under Local Criterion B (events) for its association with the Residential Development theme. The Cove district is also considered
eligible under Local Register Criterion A (special element) as the first residential subdivision within the boundaries of the city
constructed with Spanish Revival style homes and eligible under Local Register Criterion E as a geographically definable area
possessing a concentration of buildings, structures, and improvements linked historically. The dwelling retains a sufficient level of
integrity from the 1935 to 1950 period of significance for individual designation. The district is not formally designated, and the
property is assigned a 5B status code: Locally significant both individually (listed, eligible, or appears eligible) and as contributor to a
multi-component resource like a district that is locally listed, designated, determined eligible, or appears eligible through survey
evaluation.
The dwelling has not been found individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR/Local Criterion A/1/B, as it has not been associated with
significant events or patterns of events in local, regional, state, or national history; not individually eligible under Criterion B/2/B, as it
has not been identified as having an association with an important person; and not individually eligible under Criterion D/4/D, as
further study of the dwelling would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state, or
national history. Additionally, the property was not found to be individually eligible under Local Register Criterion A, as it was not
found to exemplify a special element of the City of La Quinta.
This property individually embodies the distinctive characteristics of a Spanish Colonial Revival style “casita” bungalow built in the
Cove during the 1930s is considered individually significant under Local Criterion C for embodying the distinctive characteristics of a
type, period, or method of construction. As the dwelling has not been substantially altered, this dwelling maintains integrity from
the historic period.

This early ranch home is one of a number in The Cove that is an "L" shaped Spanish Colonial Revival with
Pueblo Revival details. The owners have emphasized the Pueblo (or Southwest) look with natural desert
landscaping and addition of a thick adobe fence that partially encloses side and front. The roof is multi-level
shed covered with red tile, and the walls are stucco. The long part of the "L" makes up back and side of
house. Facing east, the top of the "L" is adorned by three vigas placed directly undernearth the slanting roof
line. A large multi -paned window with massive wood lintel and rustic shutters is below. To the right is a
wood door, similar to that found on other original Cove houses, which appears to have been placed at side of
front porch, so as to enclose the porch and newer adobe fence. The porch roof is dropped, but shed roof of the
perpendicular wing meets the leg of the "L" at top (unlike some other houses of this same design). At the ends
of porch roof is typical stained wood under gable (here, half -gable). The north wall, or foot end, has a smooth
stucco chimney at center, and is met on right by another down -slanting roof. A singe sash window with
shutters is in small wall next to the chimney. (See continuation sheet.)
