19. Briefly state historical and/or architectural importance (include dates, events, and persons associated with the site.)
This house was built around 1915 for L. G. Spring who owned the
property until about 1920 when he sold to Herbert V. Bryant of the
Chula Vista Auto Company and his wife, Laura. The Bryant family
lived at this address until 1927 when they built a new house at
30 "F" Street, Herbert V. Bryant was well known in Chula Vista. He
served on the Chula Vista City Council from 1937 to 1940 and then was
elected City Clerk. He was the Chief Administrative Officer from
1947 to 1953. The house is a good example of the circa 1915
bungalows and appears to retain integrity of design and materials.
The building is also significant as the former home of one of
Chula Vista's best known city officials.

SIGNIFICANCE
19. Briefly state historical and/or architectural importance linclude dates, events, and persons associated with the site.)
Carl O. Boltz and his wife, Mary, were married under a tree on this
property on Aug. 31, 1911. The newlyweds lived in an old house on
this lot from 1911 until 1923, when they sold the house to Charles
Mohnike for $500. Mohnike moved the building to 221 Second Avenue.
The house that stands at 34 Davidson today was built in 1923 for the
Boltz family. Mrs. Boltz still resides here. Carl O. Boltz served
on the Chula Vista City Council from 1934 to 1938. He was a lemon
grower and held various offices in the Chula Vista Citrus Association.
Except for the probable alterations to the porch, this bungalow
appears to retain integrity of design and materials. The prominent
Boltz family lived here and lend historical significance to this
house.

This large 1 1/2 story house stands on a corner lot and has a side-
facing, medium, clipped gable roof with a large shed dormer in front.
The house is nearly symmetrical with a centered entrance flanked by
a set of windows on each side. The five windows in the dormer are
spaced so that they appear directly over the ground floor windows
and doors. A street-facing, clipped, cross gable over the entrance
shelters the entrance stoop. This gable has a curved underside
and is supported at each front corner by a tapered square post.
Other details include an exterior brick chimney at the left side of
the house, horizontal clapboard siding, and shutters on the second
floor windows. A one story section with a flat roof extends out

19. Briefly state hirtoripl and/or architectural importance (include dates, events, and persons associated with the site.)
Leo Christy, the son of James and P9ary Christy, came to Chula Vista
as a young man and in 1911 or a bit earlier purchased the land on
which this house stands. He married Floy Melville, the daughter of
Edward Melville, another Chula Vista pioneer. The Christys apparently
lived at this address in a smaller house until about 1928 when this
house probably was built. The city directories during the 1920s listed
Leo Christys occupation as rancher and lather. The Christys were
well known in Chula Vista and Mrs. Christy served as president of
the Chula Vista Woman's Club in 1925. This charming home appears
to retain integrity of design and materials and is an example of
the Colonial Revival style. The house has significance as the
home of a pioneer family.

house has wide eaves, double hung windows usually placed
individually, and wide shiplap siding. The one story open porch
at the right front corner has undergone alterations as well. The

SIGNIFICANCE
19. Briefly state historipl and/or architectural importance (include dates, events, and persons associated with the site.)
On May 4, 1887, Louise and Albert Barber purchased the first tract in
Chula Vista and before long, this house had been constructed for them.
They moved into their new home on Feb. 1, 1888. Five acres of citrus
trees surrounded their elegant residence. After 1905, several families
owned the property from time to time until May 1, 1911, when Abraham
Eitzen purchased the place. He lived in this house until his death in
1931. Mr. Eitzen was a prominent Chula Vista citizen who served on the
City Council for four years. Sometime in the 1940s, the house was
moved from its original address at 138 Third Avenue to its present
location. This building, although stripped of its 19th century finery,
has special significance as the oldest known house in the city, as one
of the few remaining orchard houses, and as the former home of two
prominent families, the Barbers and the Eitzens.

Water was connected to this property on June 2, 1888 and this date
may mark the beginning of construction of this house for C. C. and
Nancy Jobes who received the deed from the San Diego Land and Town
Company on March 2, 1889. A number of families owned this house
until Mar. 22, 1913, when it was purchased by Dr. Marcos E. Carver,
an Episcopal priest. He founded St. Mark's Episcopal Church in
San Diego and was the rector from 1913 to 1917. He also served as
the priest in charge of missions on the Island of Kauai until his
retirement in 1925. The house has significance as a good example
of the 19th century Victorian architecture, as the home of a pioneer
Chula Vista family, and also as the home of a well known Episcopal
priest.

Charles Boltz purchased the eastern part of Lot 3 on Nov. 12, 1910.
The deed stipulated that the first house built on the property was to
cost not less than $2,000. Then on Sept. 12, 1911, he purchased the
adjacent west one acre of Lot 4. Charles Boltz and his wife,
Pauline, undoubtedly had this house constructed in 1911. Mr. Boltz
was an orchardist and served as the secretary of the Chula Vista
Citrus Association. He was a City Councilman from 1911 to 1914. Oswald
Boltz acquired the property on Nov. 23, 1935, as trustee. This house
is significant as a fine example of the Craftsman style popular in
the United States from 1895 to 1920. The home has unique features
that set it apart from the other Craftsman houses in the city. The
integrity of style and materials has been maintained. The Boltz
family lived here many years and their prominence in the community
lends additional significance to this historic structure.

19. Briefly state historipl and/or architectural importance (include dates, events, and persons associated with the site.)
The lot on which this house stands was owned by the San Diego Fruit
Company from 1911 to 1920 and planted with fruit trees. In 1921,
Frank A. Taylor, a rancher, purchased the W 274' of the NWQ of the
SEQ, Sec 162 and built a house on the property. According to the
present owner, Mr. Halpenny, Frank Taylor and his wife, May, built
the smaller house on this property first and lived in it until this
large house was erected around 1929. Built originally as a one
story home, the second story was added after a year or two. Frank

design and is significant as the home of the Taylors, a prominent
Chula Vista family.

i 9. Briefly state historical and/or architectural importance (include dates, events, and persons associated with the site.)
This house was once a kindergarten classroom at the Chula Vista school
that stood at 4th and "F" streets, the present location of the Chula
Vista Library. Members of the Chula Vista Historical Society indicate
that the structure was moved to its present location in 1927. The 4th
and "F" street school opened in 1915, the same year that kindergarten
classes were first held in the district. This building stood where the
library parking lot exists today. Whether the kindergarten building was
constructed in 1915 or moved to the site is unknown. When the classroom
was later moved to 503 "G" Street, Alex Cameron owned the building and
rented it out. Joseph and Flora Bentley lived there from 1928 to 1930.
Mr. Bentley was a gardener. This building has significance because of
its relationship to Chula Vista's second school, and could be the first
kindergarten classroom used in the city. The basic exterior design of
the structure appears to be intact.

SIGNIFICANCE
19. Briefly state historical and/or architectural importance (include dates, events, and persons associated with the site.)
The early history of this building is unknown. The Chula Vista
Realty Subdivision No 2 map was filed on Oct. 7, 1910, and San
Diego County owned this lot from the early 1910x. Plater was
connected to the site around 1926, and this address first appears
in the city directories in 1928 as "San Diego County Insectary,
C. F. Flynn, Kpr." Therefore, it appears likely that this building
was constructed around 197.6 or 1927, although it could have been
built more than ten years earlier. The building has been used up
to the present time for raising beneficial insects and for office
space for the San Diego County Dept. of Agriculture. The building
is the only one like it in Chula Vista and has some historical
importance because of the role this facility played in relationship
to the citrus industry, once the financial mainstay of the city.

19. Briefly state historical and/or architectural importance (include dates, events, and persons associated with the site.)
In August 1888, Lucious Wright hired architect Lewis A. Curtis, a
resident of National City, to design this house. By 1889, the house
had been constructed, possibly by Curtis who also erected buildings.
L. A. Curtis and his son, John, also designed other buildings in
Chula Vista including at least four residences. The Wright House
was surrounded by a citrus orchard. Later owners included Della A.
Lane, who owned the house in 1911, Mary Dadmun during the 1920s,
Jessie A. Claus, who purchased the property on March 29, 1927, and
Frank Lynch, who owned it in 1930. Mary Dadmun was the widow of
Daniel Dadmun. Lewis Dadmun also lived in this house. He was a
noted San Diego criminal defense attorney. This house is significant
as one of the few remaining orchard houses and as the home of the
pioneer Wright family.

Nebraska, purchased 20 acres from Charles Josselyn and Wallace D.
Dickinson. On Sept. 20, 1894, they hired Henry Fletcher of Otay to
construct this house at a cost of $3,000. The home was built on
a promontory with a commanding view of the Sweetwater Valley below and
surrounded with citrus orchards. Edward P. Gillette Jr and his wife,
Jennie, acquired the house on June 16, 1904. On April 21, 1910,
Marcella Darling and her husband, Charles, bought the mansion. ?ors.
Darling lived in the house many years and was well known in Chula
Vista. She was the first president of the Chula Vista Woman's Club
and deeply involved in the effort to construct the present clubhouse.
Except for the addition of the sun porch at an early date, this house
retains integrity of original design and materials. This orchard
home is notable as an example of Queen Anne architecture and as the
home of a prominent citizen, Marcella Darling.

Edward Melville, one of the pioneer businessmen in Chula Vista,
came to the community in 1901. His real estate and other businesses
prospered and eventually, in 1926, he erected this building, which
he later sold to the Security Trust & Savings Bank. Melville, who
never allowed publication of his photograph, greatly aided the
growth of Chula Vista. He served as president of the Chula Vista
Building and Loan Association for many years. The Security
Trust & Savings Bank remained in this building until 1950. The
Melville Block is significant because of its relationship to
Edward Melville, one of Chula Vista's best known businessmen.

Water was connected to this property on September 26, 1927, but this
house might have been constructed in 1926 for Elmer W Kinmore and
his wife, Ida. In 1931, Mr. Kinmore operated Kinmore Electric in
Chula Vista. In 1956, Mr. Kinmore still lived at this address. He
was a well known businessman in Chula Vista. This house is a more
ornate version of the Spanish style homes of this era. The twisted
pillars reflect the interest in Spanish Colonial Revival houses as
a result of the 1915 Exposition in San Diego. The Kinmore House
has integrity of design and materials and historical significance
as the home of the prominent Kinmore family.

of Chula Vista shows that the eastern one-half of Lot 3 was a citrus
orchard owned by Otto Baird, but no house is shown at that location.
This house probably was constructed after 1900, since the type of
concrete block used on the porch was not invented until then. (The
porch could have been reconstructed later, however, sometime after the
original construction of the house.) By 1911, Theo Schauer owned
the property, and this house apparently had been constructed. Charles
Laubmayer was the owner in 1914, and by 1915, the house had been
purchased by Martin Sette. In 1923, the tax assessment rolls show
a large increase in the assessed value of improvements on this
property, possibly indicating some alterations or additions. From
1924 to 1926, J. Calvin Lauderbach, the principal of the Chula Vista
Union School lived here with the Sette family. The Settes resided
in this house until at least 1931. This house. is significant as an
orchard home.
