77841 Sonora (Calle)
DPR 523L (09/2013)
Identifier: CRM TECH 1885-156 Date Constructed: 1950
UTM Zone: 11S, 564413 mE / 3725500 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 11; Recorded January 31, 1935, MB 18/75
Owner and Address: Matthew Stiles, Jessica Chipman; 83 Johnnycake Lane, Portsmouth RI 2871
Updated Description: The 77841 Calle Sonora was constructed in 1950 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. CRM Tech described
the property as a Ranch style single-family residence in 2006. Urbana staff conclude that the residence more specifically displays the
characteristics of a Custom Ranch style residential property. The residence has a low pitch gable roof. The exterior is clad in stucco
and horizontal boards. The residence has an attached garage. The residence is largely obscured by vegetation. Based on what is
visible, there does not appear to have been any significant alterations to the residence since the previous survey.
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. As the dwelling has not been substantially altered, this
dwelling maintains integrity from the historic period.
