House, be reconsidered for inclusion on Chula Vista's List of Historic Sites. (Attachment 1)

Owner Participation
On July 30, 2002 staff received an application for historic designation from the property
owner, Ligia Brannen, (Attachment 3) On August 19, 2002 Staff brought the owner's request
to the Resource Conservation Commission. At that time the Resource Conservation
Commission was unable to make a determination and asked that the owner do more research
on the history and age of the home, The owner has since provided Staff with more information
on her home which is included in this report. A letter has been sent to the property owner
notifying her that the Resource Conservation Commission will be reconsidering her request at
their September 30, 2002 meeting.
Past History
This house was not included in the Historic Resources Inventory conducted in 1985. There is
no apparent reason as to why this home was not included in the inventory, as others that
surround it were. However, the owner has provided staff with more information on the history
of the home and those who lived in it. The applicant states that the home was built in 1886,
however, there is no recorded documentation to support 1886 as the year built. Though the
exact year built cannot be verified, property records show that the house did exist as early as
1926
This house is located on one of the first pavcd roads in Chula Vista, The land that the house
sits upon was part of Rancho de la Nacion which encompassed a large portion of western
Chula Vista and all of what is today National City, Rancho de la Nacion was one of the largest
pieces of property in the South Bay area and, at one time, the largest local producer of fruits
and vegetables. It is believed that the house belonged to one of the foreman of the Ranch
however this cannot be verified. Earliest records show that Ada Monroe took title to the
property in 19 12,
William Ada Monroe (a.k,a Ada Monroe) is a significant person in the history of Chula Vista.
ML Monroe was one of the first city council members and a member of the Chula Vista Board
of Trustees. ML Monroe was an instrumental force in the establishment and maintenance of
telephone lines in Chula Vista and was a prominent rancher in the South Bay,
Architectural Stvle:
This home is an example of Spanish Colonial Architecture. It has evidence of both subtypes of
Spanish Colonial homes, Pitched Roof type and Flat Roof type, This is interesting because
typically Spanish Colonial houses have one of the two roof types not both, Other features of
the Spanish Colonial style include:
· Solid Masonry construction
· Wrought ironed covered exterior openings
· Simple in style
Page 3, Item No.:
Meeting Date: 09/30/2002
. Multiple external doorways
. Small, narrow window openings
Features of the site:
This house is a simple style Spanish Colonial house, In addition to the interesting combination
of roof types, this house has a full basement, which is not typical of existing homes in the
South Bay or California, The house has numerous narrow windows and an arched entry porch
to the front dooL (Attachment 4)
Conclusion:
This modest Spanish Colonial house may be one of the oldest homes remaining in Chula Vista.
Though the exact year built cannot be verified, the house did exist as early as 1926, This
house is located in an area of Chula Vista that is rich in the architectural and cultural history of
Chula Vista, This site was an integral part of Rancho de la Nacion and is located on one of the
first paved streets in Chula Vista, This house appears to meet several of the established criteria
for consideration as a historic site, In addition to being a unique type of Spanish Colonial
architecture, criteria #4, this house retains integrity of materials and design, criteria #6, and
relates to a historic personage, criteria #2, Therefore, staff recommends that the Resource
Conservation Commission reconsider the property owner's request for inclusion on the Chula
Vista List of Historic Sites,

DATE: September 30. 2002
On August 19. 2002 the Resource Conservation Commission recommended that 692 Second
A venue. The Percy Sprague Eustis House. be included on the Chula Vista List of Historic
Sites, The RCC voted to recommend that the City Council designate the house due to the
historical context of the home because this home is located within a neighborhood that was

included on the Chula Vista List of Historic Sites, Prior to the recommendation going to City
Council. the City Attorney advised Staff that the recommendation would have to be supported
by one or more of the City's adopted criteria, Upon reviewing the minutes of the August 19'"

this recommendation. as none of the established criteria addresses context of a site, Staff
requests that the RCC evaluate this house based on the established criteria and make a
determination whether to recommend this house for inclusion on the Chula Vista List of
Historic Sites based on one or more of the criteria,

Page 2, Item No.:
Meeting Date: 09/30/2002
The City has adopted six criteria that are used to determine if a particular property should be
included on the Historic Site List (Attachment 2), A site must be found to meet at least one of
the six criteria to be selected for designation,
Owner Participation
On May 21, 2002 staff received an application for historic designation from the property
owners, Walter and Marilyn Williams. (Attachment 3) A letter has been sent to the property
owners notifying them of the current pending Resource Conservation Commission action
regarding their property.
Past Historv
The Percy Sprague Eustis House was part of the 1985 City Of Chula Vista Historic Resources
inventory. However, at that time the home was not included on the Chula Vista List of Historic
Sites. The City Of Chula Vista Historic Resources Inventory prepared in 1985 states that the
home was built in 1927, (Attachment 4) The house was built for Percy and Eliza Eustis.
Percy Eustis was an important railroad man for over fifty years as well as held an important
post in Washington D,C for the railroad during World War L Mr. Eustis moved with his
wife to Chula Vista after he retired, Both were very active in the community, Mr. Eustis lived
in Chula Vista until he died in 1937, Mrs, Eustis lived at the house until her death in 1949,
Craftsman Houses:
The Craftsman style of architecture originated in southern California, This style of
architecture was inspired by the work of two Californians, Charles Sumner Greene and Henry
Mather Greene. The Greene Brothers were led to design and build these intricately detailed
buildings by their interest in the English Arts and Crafts movement, their interest in oriental
wooden architecture, and their training in the manual arts, Craftsman style homes were the
dominant style for "smaller" houses built throughout the country during the early 1900's.
Features include:
· Low-pitched roof, gabled (occasionally hipped)
· Wide eaves with exposed roof rafters
· Decorative braces or beams
· Broad Porches and patios with square columns
· Wood with stone, brick accents
· Built in cabinets, shelves, and seating
Features of the site:
According to the Historic Resources Inventory, the Percy S, Eustis home, is a one story
Craftsman house that has been modified from its original design, This house retains few of the
Page 3, Item No,:
Meeting Date: 09/30/2002
distinguishing features of a California Craftsman home, It is predominately stucco, the roof
appears modified, and bay windows are not typical in Craftsman homes. However, one of the
characteristics that may distinguish this as a Craftsman house is its side facing medium gable
roof with exposed rafter ends and wide horizontal wooden siding in the gable ends.
Property improvements:
The detached garage has been converted to living/recreational space.
Conclusion:
Staff has determined that this house does not meet one of the established criteria and therefore
is not eligible for inclusion on the City of Chula Vista List of Historic Sites at this time, Staff
recommends that this house not be recommended for designation,

This Mission of San Diego, for example, is local but is also part of a statewide
system that is recognized nationally.
2, Relates to a historic personage who played an important role historically, on a
local, state, or national basis. However, the individual need not be known
nationally, as long as it was someone who made a significant contribution on a
local basis, Ideally, this includes a site where the individual lived or where a
noteworthy historical contribution or achievement took place.
3, May be a site where an important event took place. This would be an event
symbolic of a phase of history that could reach the national leveL The site of
the signing of a historic document, for example, will satisfy this criterion,
4, The site should have distinguishing architectural characteristics that are
identifiable. This includes structures of a particular architectural style
recognizable today,
5, The site may be archaeologically significant in its association with pre-history
of the arca, a site dcmonstrating existence of an ancient community (indians
indigenous to the area, for example) could satisfy this criterion.
6. lIas integrity, This is where the site continues to have evidence of the original
features, Enough of the original structure or the site is intact to be
distinguishable as having historical value.
