The 79890 Horseshoe Road property was researched at the City of La Quinta, the La Quinta Historical Society, the La Quinta Public Library, and
via online archives including Coachella Valley Telephone Directories (1946-1957), City of La Quinta building permits, regional newspapers within
the UC Riverside California Digital Newspaper Collection, aerial imagery from ca. 1930s forward, and the Riverside County Assessor's Office
online property search. Results are limited. The property is not listed in available Coachella Valley Telephone Directories. See Continuation
Sheet for significance and integrity conclusions.
*B6. Construction History: The subject property was constructed in 1965. In 2001, property owner Robert M. and Joy Macchi obtained
a permit to abandon the septic tank and connect the residence to the sewer system; the work was completed by Econo Sewer Service (Permit
No. 0107-086). In 2011, Macchi obtained a permit to reroof the residence; the work was completed by Palm Desert Contractors (Permit No.
11-0581). Aerial photography did not offer any additional information regarding changes to the property over time. Apart from the wood
shingle roof replacement and the contemporary-era garage door, no substantial alterations have been made to the front elevation facing the
public right-of-way. The building appears to retain its essential form and integrity.

B10. Statement of Significance Continued:
Past owners and occupants include: William G. and Helen Joyce Knyvett (1967-1976; Desert Sun) and Robert M. and Joy Macchi (2001-2011; Permits).
William Knyvett was a publisher of Desert Magazine and a resident of the Coachella Valley for more than 30 years.
The home was built in the Tract Ranch style within the Indian Springs residential subdivision, recorded in 1960-61, and is within the Indian Springs
(previously the Westward Ho Golf Club) neighborhood. The subject property was constructed in 1965 by an unidentified builder.
The dwelling is associated with the theme of Residential Development (1934-1970s), being located in one of La Quinta's first subdivisions after the
development of the Cove, but it does not possess individual documented significance in relation to this theme. The property is assigned a 6Z status
code: Found ineligible for NRHP, CRHR or Local Register through survey evaluation.
The dwelling is not 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 is not individually eligible under Local
Register Criterion A, as it was not found to exemplify a special element of the City of La Quinta. The dwelling has not been substantially altered and
maintains integrity from the historic period.
