51673 Velasco (Avenida)
DPR 523L (09/2013)
Identifier: CRM TECH 1885-115 Date Constructed: 1958
UTM Zone: 11S, 564134 mE / 3725938 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 5; Recorded July 31, 1934, MB 18/63
Owner and Address: Marcia Jane Andrade; PO Box 4357, Boise ID 83711
Updated Description: The 51673 Avenida Velasco residence was constructed in 1958 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. This
one-story, Custom Ranch style single-family residence faces east from the west side of Avenida Velasco. The wood-framed,
rectangular residence is topped with a low-pitched, side-gabled roof covered with rolled asphalt sheets. Wide, open eaves with
fascia boards shelter walls clad in stucco, and fenestration consists of steel-framed, casement sash. A shed roof supported by one
decorative metal post shelters the entry, and a one-car garage is set within the south end of the asymmetrical façade. Since the
previous survey, the garage at the front elevation has been replaced with a sliding glass door, the attached garage having been
made part of the living space. This change in fenestration is considered a significant alteration of the form or integrity of the
dwelling.
Updated Significance: A prior survey evaluated the property as status code 6Z - found ineligible for NRHP, CRHR, and Local
Register designation. The current survey found that 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. While the dwelling is located within the
proposed La Quinta Cove Historic District, it is a non-contributor due to significant exterior alterations to elevations facing the public
right-of-way.
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 been substantially altered, it no longer
maintains integrity from the historic period.
