November 2016 HRB Designations

The city of San Diego's Historical Resources Board designated just two houses last month, both under Criterion C, but still had a long and diverse agenda. Members voted not to designate the Midway Post Office (1972), designed in the Brutalist style, and not to support the site development permit findings that would allow demolition of two historically designated buildings at 1425 and 1431 C Street.

3510 Park Boulevard in Uptown is constructed in the Craftsman style with a 1923 period of significance. Features include a triple gable with a flared bargeboard beneath the front porch gable, redwood shiplap siding as well as wood shingle siding, and details such as tapered porch columns, exposed rafter tails, and beveled glass windows. Designated under Criterion C, this house exhibits distinct characteristics of the Craftsman style.

3211 Trumbull Street in La Playa illustrates the Pueblo Revival style of architecture. This 1932 home's highlights: a flat roof with simple parapet, projecting three-sided entry bay with upper balcony, smooth exterior stucco, clay vents, and wood sash and fixed windows. This property was designated under Criterion C for embodiment of the style; however, with further research, the HRB could establish its architects, Gustavas Hanssen and Robert Halley, Jr., as Master Architects.
