Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Burlinqame Park Period of Significance N/A Property Type Residential Applicable Criteria N/A (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) Historic Context: City of Burlinqame The lands that would become the City of Burlingame were initially part of Rancho San Mateo, a Mexican-era land grant given by Governor Pio Pico to Cayetano Arena in 1845. Over the next four decades, the lands passed through the hands of several prominent San Francisco businessmen, including William Howard (1848) and William C. Ralston (1856). In 1866, Ralston sold over 1,000 acres to Anson Burlingame, the US Ministerto China. Following Burlingame's death in 1870, however, the land reverted to Ralston, and eventually to Ralston's business partner, William Sharon. Very little formal development occurred during this period, with most of the land used for dairy and stock farm operations. In 1893, William Sharon's trustee, Francis G. Newlands, proposed the development of the Burlingame Country Club as an exclusive semi-rustic destination for wealthy San Franciscans. A railroad depot was constructed in 1894, concurrent with small- scale subdivisions in the vicinity of Burlingame Avenue. During this time, EI Camino Real acted as a de facto dividing line between large country estates to the west and the small village of Burlingame to the east. The latter developed almost exclusively to serve the needs of the wealthy estate owners. (See Continuation Sheet) B71. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *612.

O Continuation ❑ Update Burlingame began to develop in earnest with the arrival of an electric streetcar line befinreen San Mateo and San Francisco in 1903. However, the 1906 Earthquake had a far more dramatic impact on the area. Hundreds of San Franciscans who had lost their homes began relocating to Burlingame, which flourished after the disaster with the construction of new residences and businesses. Over the next two years, the village's population grew from 200 to 1,000. In 1908, Burlingame incorporated as a city, and in 1910 annexed the adjacent town of Easton to the north. The following year, the Burlingame Country Club area was also annexed to the City. By 1920, Burlingame's population had increased to 4,107. Burlinaame Park Neiqhborhood The house at 141 Crescent Avenue was constructed in the Burlingame Park neighborhood, one of three subdivisions (including Burlingame Heights and Glenwood Park) created from lands that were formerly part of the San Mateo Rancho. The Rancho was inherited by Joseph Henry Poett and later sold to Anson Burlingame in 1866 and to William C. Ralston in 1872. Ralston began to develop plans for a residential park in this area as early as 1873. Initially, Ralston hired William Hammond Hall to draw up a plan for an exclusive residential development to be called Burlingame Park. Hall's early plan was never realized, but work began on the residential development in the 1890s under Francis Newlands. Newlands commissioned Hall's cousin, Richard Pindell Hammond, Jr., to draw up a new plan for the subdivision. The plan "centered on a communal country club and featured winding tree-lined roads, ample lots, and polo fields for the residents" (Brechin 1999, 94). The land was subdivided and the streets were laid out in May 1905 by Davenport Bromfield and Antoine Borel. The neighborhood is located in close proximity to the Burlingame Country Club and the neighborhood was officially annexed to the City of Burlingame in 1911. Burlingame Park, Burlingame Heights, and Glenwood Park were the earliest residential developments in Burlingame and were subsequently followed by Burlingame Terrace, Burlingame Grove, Burlingame Villa Park, and Easton. Burlingame Park is bounded by County Road to the north; Burlingame Park, Crescent, and Barroilhet avenues to the east; Pepper Avenue to the south; and Bellevue Avenue to the west. Sanborn Fire Insurance Company maps indicate that Burlingame Park developed over a period of about fifty years. Modest residences were constructed within the subdivision in the early years. The town of Burlingame experienced a residential building boom in the early 1920s and the majority of the residences in the neighborhood were constructed in the 1920s and 1930s, including the house at 141 Crescent Avenue. Many of these residences were designed in high architectural styles and were much grander in scale than the earlier residences. By 1949, nearly all of the approximately 250 lots in Burlingame Park were developed. Today, the neighborhood represents the progressive development of the subdivision from the time it was first laid out in 1905, through the early twentieth century building boom, to the present day. The house at 145 Crescent Avenue is a common, but altered, example of the residential building typology constructed in Burlingame Park in the 1920s. 141 Crescent Avenue—Construction. Owners and Occupants 141 Crescent Avenue was constructed in 1927. The� permit for original construction lists the owner of the property as Robert H. Smith, who ran a real estate and insurance business in Burlingame at 1407 Burlingame Avenue. The permit lists the house's builder as Ed S. Shaver. Other contractors listed on the permit include Morrison & Blair (for plumbing work), San Bruno Electric (for electrical work), as well as Incandescent Supply (for fixtures). Robert H. Smith was born in England in 1886 and immigrated to the United States in 1907. In 1911 he married Lillian Smith, and the couple had four sons. In 1920, the couple and their children were living in San Francisco: Robert was a contractor and Lillian was a housekeeper. In 1930 the couple lived at 141 Crescent Avenue. In the mid-1930s the Smiths moved to nearby San Mateo, and Robert H. Smith continued to work as a building contractor through the 1940s. Robert H. Smith died in Santa Clara, California in 1962. Lillian Smith died in Santa Clara, California in 1985. The next known owner of the property was Alfred L. Jones, who was born in California in 1913 and grew up in San Francisco, the third child of Alfred L. Jones, a boilermaker in the construction industry, and Elsie Jones. Jones attended Mission High School and graduated in 1931. He lived with his parents and worked as a laborer through the mid-1930s. In 1938 Jones was living in San Francisco and working as a lithographer. In 1940 he was working as a lithographer for at A. Carlisle & Co. in San Francisco. By the mid-1950s Jones had established his own printing company called AI Jones Lithograph Co., with offices in San Francisco, and was married to Marie Jones. In 1958, the Jones's lived at 141 Crescent Avenue, and in 1959, Alfred Jones unsuccessfully sued the city of Burlingame for failing to protect the public health of his young son, who contracted tuberculosis from a neighbor who had failed to comply with a city-ordered quarantine.2 Alfred L. Jones continued to operating his lithography company through the � Burlingame holds a building permit dated January 31, 1927 for the construction of a home valued at $10,000.

The property at 141 Crescent Avenue staying in ownership by the Jones family trust until 1996, at which time ownership passed to Sandra Ladd, who owned the property for sixteen years. In 2008, the property transferred to bank ownership, and in 2012, the house was granted from the Sandra Ladd Trust to Carlos D. Brain and Johanne Sissel Auerbock, the current owners. The following list of known owners of the property and their approximate dates of ownership was gathered from building permit information, Burlingame City Directories, and the San Mateo County Recorder's O�ce. Robert H. Smith (1927 — circa 1932) Alfred L. Jones (1958 —1980) Marie I. Jones and Jones Trust (circa 1980 - 1996) Sandra L. Ladd (1996 — 2012) Carlos D. Brain, Johanne Sissel Auerbock (2012 — present) The following list of known occupants of the property and their approximate dates of occupancy was gathered from Burlingame City Directories and the San Mateo County Recorder's Office (owners are underlined): 1927 —1932: Robert H. Smith (real estate and insurance), Lillian Smith 1936 —1943: William T. Brown (credit manager), Mary Brown 1944: Harry C. Seipel (distribution manager for Fox West Coast Theater), Henrietta Seipel 1945 —1948: Leroy R. Bean (merchant, jobber), Stella Bean. LeRoy Bean, who lived in the house between 1945 and 1948, likely worked for or managed The Bean Son Co., a prominent bicycle distributor in San Francisco during the first quarter of the twentieth century. LeRoy Bean was listed as retired in the 1940 census, five years before he lived at 141 Crescent Avenue. 1949 —1950: Louis S. Ferso 1958 —1980: Alfred L. Jones (owner of AI Jones Lithograph Co., San Francisco), Marie I. Jones 2002 — 2012: Sandra L. Ladd Builder The architect for 141 Crescent Avenue is not known, and the building was Edward S. Shaver. According to Federal Census information, Ed S. Shaver worked as a contractor in the building industry through at least 1940. Newspaper records show that Ed S. Shaver and his wife Louise were active members of the Burlingame community through the late 1920s. Articles from the San Mateo Times show their participation in Y.M.C.A. campaigns, Baptist groups, and the North Burlingame Community Club. Additions and Alterations The Burlingame Building Department does not hold any permits for alterations dated before 1965. The Sanborn Fire Insurance Map from 1949 shows a large indentation at the northwest far,ade of the house. Currently, this indentation is filled by a sun room with stucco support and stained glass walls. Although there is no building permit on file, it is likely that this room was added to the house after 1949. On 8 June, 1965, a permit was issued for a kitchen remodel. Work was to be completed by Joe Bennington of San Mateo a nd Atlas Electric of San Mateo. The project was presumably never finished, as evidenced by permit notes that read "no answer" and "no final." (Building Permit P#54) After 1996, the property was in partial ownership of Sandra Ladd, who oversaw a number of alterations to the house. In 2002, a permit was issued for plumbing work and the installation of a new 50-gallon water heater. Work for this project was to be completed by Just Water Heaters out of Hayward, California, but the permit expired without a final inspection. (Permit #2020079) In 2007, Sandra L. Ladd filed another permit for kitchen remodel. The building permit specifies interior alterations and a new front yard plan, including the installation of two fluorescent lamps on post mounts in fence columns, the installation of a small fence in the front yard, the repair of the stairs to the front door, replacement and resurFacing of the path to the front door, resurtacing small areas above and below the front door, as well as replacing the address letters with a lighted address sign. The remodel was valued at $20,000. (Permit #KU07-0036) In 2008 and 2009, multiple building permits were issued for interior alterations. The permits specify the remodel of a play room and Landry room and altering ceiling heights, doorways, and stair landings adjacent to these spaces. (Building Permit #B08-0024 and Building Permit #B09-0182. Sandra L. Ladd applied as the owner-builder for the project, and the engineer listed on the permit is DPR 523L B10. Significance (cont'd): Geoffry Clifford with BCA engineering. Building permit #B08-0024 references an original kitchen remodel project from 1966.3 The most recent building permit on file for the house at 141 Crescent Avenue is from 2012. The permit lists Sandra L. Ladd as the owner and specifies the replacement of the sewer by contractor J.D. Cesare, based in Burlingame. Evaluation (Sianificancel: The house at 141 Crescent Avenue is not currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) or the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register). The building does not appear in the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), indicating that no record of previous survey or evaluation is on file with the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). The City of Burlingame does not currently have a register of historic properties, and therefore the property is not listed locally. Constructed in 1927, the house at 141 Crescent Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under Criterion A/1 (Events) for its association with any events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. The house does convey contextual significance as a single-family residence associated with the development of Burlingame Park, but it is not among the oldest homes in the neighborhood, nor does it appear influential in the development of the neighborhood. Rather, it appears to be one of many residences constructed during the 1920s-1930s building boom in this area, and is not individually significant within this historic context. Therefore, the property does not appear to be individually eligible for listing under Criterion A/1. The house at 141 Crescent Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under Criterion B/2 (Persons). Research has not revealed any association with people significant in local, state or national history. The houses' original owner, Robert H. Smith worked as a builder and ran a real estate and insurance business in Burlingame. Subsequentowners include a credit manager, distribution manager, merchant, and business owner. Little information was found about any of the other owners or occupants. Overall, no known owner or occupant of 141 Crescent Avenue is historically significant such that the property would be historically significant under Criterion B!2 (Persons). The house at 141 Crescent Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under Criterion C/3 (Architecture) as a building that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction. The building is a typical example of the residences constructed in the Burlingame Park neighborhood in the 1920s and displays architectural features identified with the Tudor style, but it is not a distinctive or prominent example of the style. The building does not appear to be an influential or noteworthy example of residential construction in the neighborhood. The architect is unknown, and the builder, Ed S. Shaver, is not recognized as a master. Therefore, the property is not individually significant for its architectural merit and does not appear eligible for listing in under Criterion C/3. This property was not assessed for its potential to yietd information important in prehistory or history, per National Register and California Register Criterion D/4 (Information Potential). This Criterion is typically reserved for archeological resources. The analysis of the house at 145 Crescent Avenue for eligibility under California Register Criterion 4(Information Potential) is beyond the scope of this report. Evaluation (Intearitv): The house at 141 Crescent Avenue retains integrity of location and setting. It is situated on its original lot, and the surrounding Burlingame Park neighborhood remains a residential area characterized by single-family houses. The property has undergone only a few minor alterations since its construction, including the construction or enclosure of the sun room at the northwest side and the replacement and possible reconfiguration of some windows. However, the majority of the building's shape, design, and materials remain in place, and the building had good integrity of design. materials, and workmanship. It remains in use as a residence associated with the early twentieth-century residential development of the Burlingame Park neighborhood, and therefore retains integrity of feeling and association. Overall, if the building were determined to be historically significant, it would retain sufficient integrity to convey its historic significance. 3 The project referenced from 1966 most likely refers othe unfinished kitchen remodel for which building permit P#54 was issued. DPR 523L Page 9 of 11 Resource Name or # 141 Crescent Avenue *Recorded by Page & Turnbull, Inc. *Date December 9, 2014. � Continuation ❑ Update B10. Significance (cont'd): Conclusion 141 Crescent Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under any criteria. The California Historical Resource Status Code (CHRSC) of "6Z" has been assigned to 141 Crescent Avenue, meaning that it was "found ineligible for National Register, California Register or Local designation through survey evaluation." This designation is based on the property's lack of significance under the Califomia Register eligibility criteria. This conclusion does not address whether the building would qualify as a contributor to a potential historic district. A cursory inspection of the surrounding area reveals a high concentration of early twentieth-century residences that warrant further study. Additional research and evaluation of Burlingame Park as a whole would need to be done to verify the neighborhood's eligibility as a historic district. If the neighborhood was determined eligible as a historic district, the date of construction, design, and integrity of 141 Crescent Avenue suggest that it would be considered a contributor to such a district. *B12.
