52057 Rubio (Avenida)
DPR 523L (09/2013)
Identifier: 773212024 Date Constructed: 1937
UTM Zone: 11S, 563487 mE; 3725819 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 1, Recorded December 31, 1933, MB 18/46
Owner and Address: Joost Wolsak, Jane Auxier; 8815 W Lawrence Way, Vancouver BC V7W2T7
Updated Description: The residence at 52057 Avenida Rubio was constructed in 1937 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. The
residence was likely one of the early Spanish Colonial Revival style homes with an "I" shaped plan built in the early years of the Cove.
The cross-gable roof is clad in red tiles. During the prior 1997 survey, the residence was almost entirely concealed by heavy
vegetation and thus was not well documented. During the current survey, the subject property was surrounded by a large privacy
wall. Based on what is visible, the subject property has not been significantly altered since the previous survey. The cross-gable roof
clad in red barrel tiles is still 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. Pending additional in-person evaluation,
the dwelling may retain 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 appears to individually embody the distinctive characteristics of a Spanish Colonial Revival style “casita” bungalow
built in the Cove during the 1930s and, pending additional in-person observation, may be considered individually significant under
Local Criterion C for embodying the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction. Due to limited visibility
during the current survey, the integrity of the dwelling could not be determined.

Only a small roof area of this house is visible. A stuccoed wall surrounding property and mature vegetation
also obscure the view. The fence itself may be older, as appears to be the low stone retaining wall that
surrounds the outer part of property. Roof line of red tile with its gabled end wing with dark stained wood
suggests that house is one of the early "I" shaped ranch houses in The Cove.
