August 2016 HRB Designations

The City of San Diego Historical Resources Board had a hefty agenda of nine items this month, but made only two designations. Both properties were recognized under Criteria C and D, for their embodiment of an architectural style and as the representative work of a San Diego master.

4774 Panorama Drive in North Park was constructed during 1920 in the Dutch Colonial Revival style, an uncommon style for San Diego. Architectural highlights include a gambrel (or Dutch-style) roof with a long shed dormer, an eyelet door hood supported by ogee-shaped brackets, and a side wing with pilasters and exposed rafter tails. The work of Master Builder Martin V. Melhorn, this is his only known Dutch Colonial Revival building.

2925 Cedar Street in South Park represents the Spanish Colonial Revival style and features a clay tile-covered gable roof, a main entry with a door hood and stuccoed corbels, and several wooden casement windows. Constructed in 1924, this house is the notable work of Master Designer Ralph E. Hurlburt and Master Builder Charles H. Tifal, and was designated partly for the remarkable work of two masters.
