52217 Eisenhower Drive
DPR 523L (09/2013)
Identifier: 773225020 Date Constructed: 1940
UTM Zone: 11S, 564121 mE; 3725707 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 11; Recorded January 31, 1935, MB 18/75
Owner and Address: Angelo F Bianchi, Nancy A Bianchi; PO Box 1560, La Quinta CA 92247
Updated Description: The 52217 Eisenhower Drive property was constructed in 1940 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. The
one-story single-family home was constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style with an "I" shaped plan. The residence has a low-
pitched cross-gable roof with wood siding in one of the front gable ends. The residence has a low wall within the "I" at the front
elevation, creating a distinct patio space. The exterior is clad in brick and stucco. Since the previous survey, the residence has been
surrounded by a high privacy wall, and is no longer visible from the public right-of-way.
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.
