UTM Zone: 11S, 563496 mE; 3723936 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove

Updated Description: The subject property was constructed in 1940 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. The one story single
family residence was constructed in a Spanish Colonial Revival style with an "L" shaped form. The residence has a cross gable roof
clad in red tiles. The exterior of the residence is clad in plaster. The residence has a small front porch space with a narrow roof
overhang with an arched, stucco clad support. There is one large horizontal sliding window at the front elevation. A large stucco clad
chimney extends from the side elevation. The residence is surrounded by a medium height stucco clad wall. Since the previous
survey, the large casement window at the front elevation has been replaced with a multi-pane horizontal sliding window. There does
not appear to have been any other alterations to the residence.
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.

This Spanish Colonial Revival house appears to be "T" shaped, with main central gable running north -south,
and two cross -gables at north side of front and back. The roof is low-pitched with red tiles, and walls coated
with plaster. The walls continue into gables, where at the centers are small decorative vents made from three
embedded roof tiles. The roof does not overhang, but has stepped plaster cornice at non -gabled roof lines. The
front gabled projecting wing holds a large multi -paned and glass casement window. A connected covered
walkway, leading to the front door, has a large upside-down arch opening. To the left is a wall holding a
newer sliding metal and glass window, and a stepped down wall that partially encloses the side yard. An
unadorned plaster chimney is centered at south wall. A newer plaster coated fence is at front and sides; metal
gates to back yard are also newer. A large tree adorns the front.
