In 1784, Manuel Nieto received a Spanishland grant of 300,000 acresfor his military service;henamedthe areaRanchoLosNietos.In 1821,following the Treatyof Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico secededfrom Spain. In 1833, Mexico passedthe SecularizationAct which strippedthe churchof its landholdingswhich wereturnedoverto wealthyMexicancitizensandas reward for service during the Mexican War of Independence.This land transferresulted in the ranchosystem.The ranchosystemperpetuatedthe agricultural-basedeconomyestablishedduring the Mission period. Following the Gold Rushin 1849, California becamea statein the Union in 1850,but OrangeCountywasnot establisheduntil 1889.3 Huntington Beachwasoriginal namedShell Beachafter the many shellsearly farmersdiscovered strewnalong the seaside.In 1899, William Newland purchasedover 500 acresof land, thereby establishingPacificCity. In 1905, Newland establishedthe Huntington BeachNews,and playeda major role in establishingthe town, which was acquired by the Huntington BeachCompany in 1904. The Huntington Beach Company, largely owned by rail magnate Henry Huntington, changedthetown's namefrom PacificCity to Huntington Beachsoonthereafter. InJuly 1904,the PacificElectricRailwayestablishedrail serviceto Huntington Beach,and the city was incorporated in 1909. In 1914, 36 acreswere subdivided into 360 small parcelsthat were given awayasan incentiveto buy encyclopedias.Oil wasdiscoveredin 1920,and parcelowners becamemillionaires overnight.Oil rigsfreckled the city in the 1920s,and the town dependedon the industry into the 1950s.Fromthe 1950sthrough the 1970s,Huntington Beachwasthe fastest growing city in theContinentalU.S.and beganhiding the oil rigsto attracttourists. SunsetBeach,although establishedin 1905, was sparselypopulated prior to the 1920soil rush. Aerial mapsof the region show a substantialgrowth in beach-sideresidencesand by the 1930s homeslitteredthe coast.' Another major population boom took placebetween1972and 1979,as isvisible from aerialsin the CaliforniaCoastalRecordsProject.' The subject property was constructed circa 1923. According to a 1935 building permit, the residencewas originally constructedasa 1-storybuilding, consequentlyreceiving a second-story addition after construction.6A 1972 aerial of the property similarly suggestsa 1-storydwelling (Figure 1,Aerial of Property in 1972, 16611 South PacificAvenue).A later 1986 aerial clearly showsa 2-story building (Figure2,Aerial of Propertyin 1986, 16611South PacificAvenue).No building permits were available; information regarding the original owner, E.H. Diehl, was gatheredfrom the property's grant of deed. The builder and architect (if any) are unknown. The 1971 Orange County Assessor'sparcel map provides little information regarding the building (Figure3,Property'sParcel,16611SouthPacificAvenue). 3 LagunaBeachHistoricalSociety.Accessed22 September2016, "Chronology."

Property'sParcel,16611SouthPacificAvenue SOURCE:Orange County Assessor'sOffice, 2016 DESCRIPTION The 2-story vernacular building is generally rectangular in plan (Figure 4,SouthernFaçade,16611 SouthPacificAvenue).The building has a concrete foundation surrounded by a low brick wall on its northeastern corner (Figure 5,NortheasternCorner, 16611 South Pacific Avenue).The l o w - sloped, front-gabled roof has exposed rafter tails and is clad in composition shingles. The building has two projecting, shed-roofed awnings: one on the southern facade and another on the northern facade. The exterior walls are plastered in stucco. The fenestration is very complex and consists of vinyl casement windows and two deep projecting bay windows on the southern facade. The second-story Chicago-style bay windows have a central single fixed window and one-over-one sash windows on the sides. On the northern facade, double-hung windows grace the first story and fixed-single and three-over-three windows line the second story. There are at least seven different styles of windows. A second-story entrance is accessed by an exterior staircase at the northern end of the residence. The building appears to have been altered from a 1-story to a 2-story building in the 1970s or 1980s.

W2PROIECTS12155\2155 -001\,k1FRINIFR1.don;Page 7 EVALUATION A specificevent markingan important moment in history is not known to haveoccurredhere,nor is the property known to be associatedwith a patternof eventsor trendsthat madea significant contribution to the development of the nation, state,or community. The construction of 16611 South PacificAvenue reflectsa real estateboom and land speculationthat occurred throughout Southern California during the 1920s which resulted in the construction of numerous beach residencesthroughoutthe City. Therefore,the propertydoesnot appeareligible for listing in both the National RegisterandCalifornia RegisterunderCriterion A/1, respectively. The original owner of the property was E.H. Diehl, a physician and World War I veteran.' Subsequentownerswere Earleand Hazel LeeMacNaught,Arthur and ByrlePadelford,andJohnF. Stupin, none of whose activities are demonstrably important within a local, state,or national historiccontext. Personswho madeidentified anddocumentedspecificcontributionsto historyare not known to be associatedwith this property.Therefore,the propertydoesnot appeareligible for listing in boththe National RegisterandCalifornia RegisterunderCriterion B12,respectively. The building is a generic, vernacular building that has been substantially altered and is not significantfor design,materials,workmanship, and feeling. Therefore,the building is not eligible for listing in the NationalRegisteror the California RegisterunderCriterion C13,respectively. The building was constructedusing common materialsand methods,and does not possessthe potentialto yield importantinformation in regardto historyor prehistory.Therefore,the propertyis not eligible for listing in both the National Registerand California Registerunder Criterion D/4, respectively. The building has been substantiallyaltered and does not retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The building was constructed within a residential neighborhood and retains integrity of setting. The building has not been moved and retains integrityof location. CONCLUSION SapphosEnvironmental, Inc. finds that the property does not possesssufficient significance or integrity to merit listing in the National Registerof Historic Placesand California Registerof Historical Resources. The subjectproperty doesnot appeareligible for listing in the National Registeror the California Registerbecauseit lacks significanceand integrity, and therefore, is not a "historical resource" pursuantto Section 15064.5(a)of the StateCEQA Guidelines. Therefore,pursuantto the City's guidelines it does not meet local criteria for being treated as a historical resourcepursuantto Section15064.5(a)of the StateCEQAGuidelines. Demolition of this building would not resultin a substantial adverse change to a historical resource (Section 15064.5[bj of the State CEQA Guidelines).
