77619 Ensenada (Calle)
DPR 523L (09/2013)
Identifier: 773293001 Date Constructed: 1938
UTM Zone: 11S, 563936 mE; 3725462 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 10; Recorded October 31, 1934, MB 18/70
Owner and Address: Glen Knabenshue, Mary Silveri; 54065 Avenida Vallejo, La Quinta CA 92253
Updated Description: The 77619 Calle Ensenada residence was constructed in 1938 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. The one
story single family residence was constructed in a Spanish Colonial Revival style with an "I" shaped plan. The residence has a low
pitch cross gable roof. The residence has a central patio area within the "I" of the building. The residence has wood beams within the
front gables and the exterior is clad in stucco. The residence has an attached garage. The residence is surrounded by a stucco clad
privacy wall. During the current survey, the subject property was surrounded by the high privacy wall and thick vegetation. Based on
what is visible, there does not appear to be any significant alterations. A vinyl sun shade has been added to the front elevation.
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 definable 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.
