DPR 523L (09/2013)
Identifier: 773331006 Date Constructed: 1937
UTM Zone: 11S, 564180 mE; 3725172 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 15; Recorded March 31, 1936, MB 18/92
Owner and Address: Seth Sebastian Hoffman; 52862 Eisenhower Drive, La Quinta CA 92253
Updated Description: The subject property was constructed in 1937 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. The building was
constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style with an "L" shaped plan. The roof is a low pitched gable clad in red tile with a stucco
clad chimney at the gable end. Since the previous survey, the subject property has been surrounded by a high stucco clad privacy
wall. The previous survey mentions the building has been altered with an addition to the front elevation, however, these alterations
were not observed during the 2022 survey. Based on what is visible, there does not appear to have been any significant alterations
to the subject property since the prior survey. The low-pitch, red tile gable roof is extant. The round ventilation holes, stucco
exterior, and wood porch roof at the front entry are 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. 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.
