51453 Martinez (Avenida)
DPR 523L (09/2013)
Identifier: CRM TECH 1885-48 Date Constructed: 1950
UTM Zone: 11S, 564298 mE / 3726025 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 14; Recorded June 30, 1935, MB 18/83
Owner and Address: Mark D Macon; 530 S Palouse Street, Wala Wala WA 99362
Updated Description: The 51453 Avenida Martinez residence was constructed in 1950 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. The
one-story multi-family residence was constructed in the Custom Ranch style. The building has a rectangular plan with a low-pitched
hipped roof with open eaves. The exterior is clad in dark brick. At the front elevation there are three sliding-fixed-sliding tripartite
configuration windows. There is a brick chimney extending from the rear of the residence. 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 5D1 - contributor to a district that is listed or
designated locally. The current survey found that the dwelling was constructed within the proposed La Quinta Cove Historic District
during the period of significance, but the architectural style was not consistent with the Spanish Revival style associated with early
development within the Cove between 1934 and 1950. 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. The 2022 evaluation is that the property
should instead be assigned a 6Z status code: Found ineligible for NRHP, CRHR or Local Register 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 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.
