51931 Villa (Avenida)
DPR 523L (09/2013)
Identifier: CRM TECH 1885-128 Date Constructed: 1951
UTM Zone: 11S, 564469 mE; 3725701 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 12; Recorded March 31, 1935, MB 18/80
Owner and Address: Gail L Eisenreich; 80811 Glen Haven, Indio CA 92201
Updated Description: The 51931 Avenida Villa residence was constructed in 1951 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. The one-
story single-family residence was constructed in the Tract Ranch style. The residence has an irregular plan and a low-pitched hipped
roof with narrow open eaves. The exterior walls are clad in stucco. The roof eave extends over the front elevation to create a partial
open veranda. A large addition has been built on the left side of the facade. Since the previous survey, the residence has been
renovated. The residence has been painted and re-roofed. The large fixed window at the front elevation has been replaced with a
horizontal sliding window. The decorative metal porch support beam has been removed.
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 inside the proposed La Quinta Cove Historic District
but outside the period of significance in an architectural style 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 under 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, this dwelling
no longer maintains integrity from the historic period.
