The original adobe style homestead was demolished during the 1980s after the Riverside County Historical Commission initially recorded the property in 1981. The date garden was recorded by Mellon and Associates in 1997. The remaining date groves were removed in ca. 2002. The property was redeveloped in 2004 when the Benjamin Franklin Elementary School was constructed. Updated Significance: A prior survey evaluated the property as status code 6Z - found ineligible for NRHP, CRHR, and Local Register designation. The dwelling on the property was initially recorded in 2006 by CRM Tech. It was fully demolished in ca. 2002 and subsequently replaced in ca. 2004. The historic resource is no longer extant. As such, the property is not eligible for inclusion in the NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register.

The City of La Quinta Historic Context Statement, dated September 1996, mentions an adobe house once located on the property and demolished after 1981 without benefit of documentation. The Statement also indicates that foundations of the house --the oldest ranch house in La Quinta, constructed in 1904 --remained, but none were found during a recent site visit. Also said to exist on the property at one time were workers housing, a storage building, and a cistern. Records indicate that local residents attended community meetings on the patio of the house in the 1940's. The surviving date garden can be considered a cultural landscape. *P3b.
