Newly Designated Historic Sites
April 2016

The Historical Resources Board designated two more houses this month!

2324 Pine Street in Mission Hills is Spanish Eclectic in style and constructed by newly established Master Builders, the Wurster Construction Company. Completed in 1931, the house features a single-barrel red clay tile roof with exposed rafter tails, decorative stucco elements and a wood spindle balcony. Designated under Criterion C for representing the Spanish Eclectic style, the house is also designated under D (Master Builder), for the Wurster Company, which also constructed the Spreckels Organ Pavilion and the California Building along with its iconic tower for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. In addition, this house has a known, but undocumented association with Master Architect Lilian J. Rice, a native of National City who worked for the acclaimed Richard Requa and Herbert Jackson firm.

3235 Freeman Street in Loma Portal was constructed in 1927 and embodies the Tudor Revival style through the high pitch gable roof, half-timbering, and diamond pane leaded-glass windows. The house is designated under Criterion C for distinctive characteristics that retain the essence of this style, but, arguably, could have additionally been designated under D, as a notable work of both Master Architect Eugene Hoffman and Master Builder A.L. Dinnstedt.
