77615 Potrero (Calle)
DPR 523L (09/2013)
Identifier: CRM TECH 1885-151 Date Constructed: 1952
UTM Zone: 11S, 564114 mE / 37723462 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 28; Recorded May 31, 1939, MB 19/60
Owner and Address: Louis Depoorter; 77615 Calle Potrero, La Quinta CA 92253
Updated Description: The subject property was constructed in 1952 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. CRM Tech described
the property as a Modern style single-family residence in 2006. Based on the description and photographs provided in the previous
survey, Urbana staff conclude that residence more specifically displays the characteristics of a Custom Ranch style residential
property. The residence has a flat roof with thick boxed eaves. The residence is clad in vertical boards. The residence has a small roof
extension above the front door with narrow posts on either side. There are two multipane fixed windows at the front elevation, and
an attached garage. Since the previous survey, the residence has been surrounded by a high hedge and only a small portion of the
residence is visible. The garage door has been replaced. The flat roof, vertical board siding, and the prominent covered main
entrance are extant.
Updated Significance: A prior survey evaluated the property as status code 6Z - found ineligible for NRHP, CRHR, and Local
Register designation. The current survey found that the dwelling is associated with the theme of Residential Development (1934-
1970s), but it does not possess individual documented significance in relation to this theme. While the dwelling is located within the
proposed La Quinta Cove Historic District, it is a non-contributor due to its architectural style and date of construction.
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 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. Due to limited visibility during the current survey, the integrity
of the dwelling could not be determined.
