77177 Montezuma (Avenida)
DPR 523L (09/2013)
Identifier: 773112003 Date Constructed: 1936
UTM Zone: 11S, 563249 mE; 3726118 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 2; Recorded February 28, 1934, MB 18/56
Owner and Address: Matthew J Conlon; 10854 SW 280th Lane, Vashon WA 98070
Updated Description: The 77177 Avenida Montezuma residence was constructed in 1936 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood.
The one-story residence was constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The residence has a rectangular form with a low-pitch
gable roof clad in red tiles, with the exterior clad in stucco. The residence features a front porch and a stucco clad chimney at the roof
interior. During both the prior 1997 and the current survey, the subject property was largely obscured by a high privacy wall. What is
visible does not appear to have been altered. The red tile gable roof, stucco siding are still extant. At the north elevation, there
appears to be one original multi-pane window and a modern fixed window.
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. As the dwelling has not been substantially altered, this
dwelling maintains integrity from the historic period.

' P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.)
This single -story Spanish Colonial Revival house is essentially rectangular, unlike most of the ranch homes
built in 1936. Like the others, it has a red tile roof (gabled, low -pitch) and stucco walls. It has a short, smooth
chimney stack rising out of the roof near center. Visible windows are single sash, slightly inset by curved
surrounds. At east appears to be a principal roof porch with attached pergola (not original). Besides the
addition of block wall pergola, rear windows appear to be more modern, and a small modern structure sits in
back yard. Connected to, but outside of block wall fence at very back of property, is original one -car garage.
Red tile roof remains intact, as does general appearance but a wall with air conditioning unit and metal sash
window has replaced original doors. View of house is obstructed by a block wall surrounding property.
