Identifier: 773291026 Date Constructed: 1947
UTM Zone: 11S, 563772 mE; 3725305 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 16, Recorded June 30, 1936, MB 18/99
Owner and Address: Ian R. Mindell, Katherine A. Gonzalez; 52720 Avenida Carranza, La Quinta CA 92253
Updated Description: The 52720 Avenida Carranza residence was constructed in 1947 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. The
one story single family residence was constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style with a low pitch roof clad in red tile. The
residence has an "L" shaped form with an exterior clad in stucco. The subject property is largely obscured by a high privacy wall.
What is visible does not appear to have been altered. The white stucco facade, red barrel tile cross-gable roof, and non-original
garage door at the center of the front facade are all 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. 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. The essential form of the dwelling remains intact.
