DPR 523L (09/2013)
Identifier: 773331029 Date Constructed: 1948
UTM Zone: 11S, 564214 mE; 3725180 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 15; Recorded March 31, 1936, MB 18/92
Owner and Address: Lux Box Collection LLC; 72245 El Paseo Palm Desert CA 92260
Updated Description: The subject property was constructed in 1948 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. The property includes
two residences, both constructed in the Spanish Colonial style. The north building has an "L" shaped form with a gable roof clad in
red tiles. The south building has been altered to have a two story form. The subject property is surrounded by a high privacy wall and
heavy vegetation. Not much of the property is visible. The residence's gable roof, clad in red barrel tiles, is extant.
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 integrity from the
1935 to 1950 period of significance for the Cove. Because the district is not formally designated, it is assigned a 5D2 status code:
Contributor to a multi-component resource that is eligible for local listing or designation.
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; not individually eligible under Criterion C/3/C, as it does
not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction; 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. Due to limited visibility during the current survey, the integrity
of the property could not be determined, but the essential form of the original dwelling remains intact and additions appear to be
differentiated but compatible with the existing historic material.
