'\, ear lr: I am writing in regard to my house which' lis located a~769 Broadway" Chula Vista, Calif. . _' :....__: . . . -. ......~ I have owned this house since 1943. I wduld like to donate it to the Historical Society to be preserved and k~pt for many years. I have owned this house for 44 years and I undeJ'stand it was buul t in 1880. if that is true i~ is now 107 years old. . - . I admit it is old but in very good condi ion for its age today.' , 'I , , When I first moved to Chula Vista I liveq at 208 Shasta St. for six aonths. I sòld that house and moved to 1.69 National Avenue C.V. which later "Years was changed to 769 BroîdWay. ; believe I had 3t acres of land. I ran ,165 feet on Broadway and 660 feet East. I sold all except the 165 Feet on Broadway and 150 , feet .in depth. The old big house has four apartments in it now. I have raised four children, 3 boys and i girl which are all 'grown . and moved away. I moved to San Diego in 11963 but my heart has always been in Chula Vista. (The Land of Paradi~e.) I The time has come to tu-~ the old house Iver to the Historical Society to keep for ever. A few things that I want is the buildinglmoVed off of the lapd and , the main sewer line not to be disturbed. A marker to be put where the sewer line hook up to the old house and ~here is three places for that. I also want the basement to filled in with dirt and allowed for shrink- , , . - age and all debris to be remove d off the property. ~ I need to be notified 60 days in advance in order for mp. to give my tenants 30 day notice to vacate and timeifOr me to dispose of furn- ishings within the apartments. I would like a brass plate put on theol~ house after it is preserv~d wi th my name, rrry wife and +he four chilw;.en engraved on it as to who donated the building.
