Mr. and Mrs. Cernich (2002; Permits). Gary E. Cardiff worked as an accountant for E.F. Hutton & Company Inc. and later a financial consultant for

The home was built as a Spanish Styled Ranch in the La Quinta Country Club subdivision, recorded in 1959, and is within the La Quinta Golf Estates
neighborhood. The subject property was constructed in 1966 by an unidentified builder.
The dwelling is associated with the themes of Residential Development (1934-1970s) and Recreation and Leisure (1926-1970s), being located in La
Quinta's first private country club and the first residential neighborhood associated with club. However, the property does not possess individual
documented significance in relation to these themes. 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.
