51262 Ramirez (Avenida)
DPR 523L (09/2013)
Identifier: 773083001 Date Constructed: 1937
UTM Zone: 11S, 563841 mE; 3726440 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 6; Recorded August 31, 1934, MB 18/67
Owner and Address: Sally Webster; 51262 Avenida Ramirez, La Quinta CA 92253
Updated Description: The 51262 Avenida Ramirez residence was constructed in 1937 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. The
single family residence was constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style with an "I" shaped plan. The residence has a low-pitched
red tile roof with a stucco clad exterior. There is stained vertical wood siding within the window gables. At the front elevation there
one sash window, one metal sliding window, and a smaller metal sash window. The residence has an attached garage. At the time of
the current survey, the residence was under construction, with the roof being replaced with replacement red tiles. It appears that the
garage door had also been replaced, and the window trim painted since the previous survey. Based on what was observed, without
knowing the full extent of the construction underway, it does not appear that any significant alterations have occured since the
previous survey.
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 defined 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.

Another example of an "I" shaped Spanish Colonial Revival ranch house in the Cove, this 1937 house appears
to have a small addition toward back with shed roof of clay tiles and a large plate glass window. All walls are
stuccoed. The original building has a low-pitched red tile roof, with stained vertical wood siding within the
gables. One sash window remains at right wings, but at center is a newer, large metal sliding window and a
newer, small metal sash window, both of which take the place of a former pair of sash windows. To the right
is the door, which appears to be original behind a newer screen door. Original wood garage doors with upper
vents are still in place in wing. Characteristic of these houses is the central open "court" at front, with only
one small projecting wall (from the garage side) to slightly enclose it; bushes hide this feature. The newer
metal or aluminum windows, and an aluminum awning that partially covers the "court", in general detract
from the court and house. An interesting short wall of large rocks defines property boundaries, but rustic and
historic appearance is marred by high chain link fence placed directly next to the rocks and surrounding house.
Eclectic vegetation includes palm trees, desert agave, cedar bush, grass.
