The 79905 Fiesta Drive property was researched at the City of La Quinta, the La Quinta Historical Society, the La Quinta Public Library, and via
online archives including Coachella Valley Telephone Directories (1946-1957), City of La Quinta building permits, regional newspapers within
the UC Riverside California Digital Newspaper Collection, aerial imagery from ca. 1930s forward, and the Riverside County Assessor's Office
online property search. Results are limited. The property is not listed in available Coachella Valley Telephone Directories. See Continuation
Sheet for significance and integrity conclusions.
*B6. Construction History: The subject property was constructed in 1964 by the Westward Ho and Bellwood Discount Corporation. In
2005, property owner Phillips James Allen obtained a permit to build a 100 LF 6ft Garden Wall; the work was completed by Ortiz Masonry
(Permit No. 05-3050). In 2020, property owner Adrian Finson obtained a permit to abandon the septic tank and connect the residence to the
sewer system (Permit No. 2020-0005). Aeriel imagery indicates that an owner installed a rear addition to the home between 1979 and 1980
that substantially altered and expanded the original footprint of the dwelling. However, this addition is not visible from the public right-of-
way. Between 2018 and 2019, the original wood shingle roof was replaced with asphalt composite shingles. Between 2019 and 2021, the
original aluminum framed sliding windows, the board-and-batten siding, and the original garage door were replaced. The window
dimensions were also modified. Overall, multiple extensive changes to the exterior have altered the essential form and integrity of the
residence.

B10. Statement of Significance Continued:
Past owners and occupants include: Phillips James Allen (2005; Permits), and Adrian Finson (2020; Permits).
The home was built in the Tract Ranch style within the Indian Springs residential subdivision, recorded in 1960-61, and is within the Indian Springs
(previously the Westward Ho Golf Club) neighborhood. The subject property was constructed in 1964 by the Westward Ho and Bellwood Discount
Corporation, who built Tract Ranch style homes with Custom elements between 1961 and 1965.
The dwelling is associated with the theme of Residential Development (1934-1970s), being located in one of La Quinta's first subdivisions after the
development of the Cove, but it does not possess individual documented significance in relation to this theme. The property is assigned a 6Z status
code: Found ineligible for NRHP, CRHR or Local Register through survey evaluation.
The dwelling is not 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 is not individually eligible under Local
Register Criterion A, as it was not found to exemplify a special element of the City of La Quinta. The dwelling has been substantially altered and does
not maintain integrity from the historic period.
