51290 Carranza (Avenida) DPR 523L (09/2013) Identifier: 773082026 Date Constructed: 1937 UTM Zone: 11S, 563763 mE; 3726424 mN Neighborhood: The Cove Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 6; Recorded August 31, 1934, MB 18/67 Owner and Address: Jeffrey Tarret Merz; 51290 Avenida Carranza, La Quinta CA 92253 Updated Description: The 51290 Avenida Carranza residence was constructed in 1937 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. The residence is a single family home constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, with an "H" shaped plan. The residence has a cross gable roof clad in red tiles with open eaves, and the exterior is clad in stucco. The residence has an attached garage. At the front elevation there is an 8-paned casement window and one smaller window. The north elevation has three casement windows. In 2022, the subject property is surrounded by a large privacy wall. Based on what is visible, it appears that the garage may have been enclosed. Elements such has the stucco siding, multi-pane casement windows, the wood lintels, red tile roofing, and round ventilation holes at the gables are extant. There does not appear to have been any significant 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. 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.
