Van Wormer Susan D. Walter James D. Newland 238 Second Avenue Chula Vista CA 91910 I . Int rodu c tion The purpose of this report is to provide results of a historic and architectural study of a commercial structure and associated shed at 417 Carlsbad Village Drive (formerly Elm Street) in the City of Carlsbad. The buildings were recorded in the cultural resources survey of the City of Carlsbad by Roth and Associates if. 1990 as potentially having local historical significance (Roth and .Associates 1990). As a result of archival research and field assessment, it has been determined that the structure is not architecturally or historically significant under the California Environmental Quality Act Criteria for important resources. The building is a mediocre example of a vernacular commercial structure and associated lumber shed built in 1926. Research for this project was conducted at the Carlsbad Historical Society, San Diego State University Library, The San Diego City Library. San Diego County Operations Center Survey Records Department, San Diego Recorder's Office, and the San Diego Historical Society. Field sketches and finished drawings were prepared by Susan Walter. II. Historical Background Carlsbad was subdivided in the mid-1880s as part of a land boom affecting all of Southern California. During this decade San Diego County and all of coastal Southern California experienced an economic boom previously unparalleled in the history of the region up to that time. The boom of the 1880s first manifested itself in San Diego in 1885, when eastern land speculators began to buy up San Diego County land in anticipation of a railroad connection between San Diego County and the transcontinental Santa Fe line at Barstow. Suddenly, the growth of San Diego accelerated and by 1886, the population of the city had jumped from 7,500 to 12,000 (Guinn 1907:202). Land speculation provided the real stimulus to the economic boom. Speculation fever seized San Diego County in the spring of 1887. Speculators formed land companies and subdivided town sites throughout the county, including Escondido, Coronado, Ocean Beach, El Cajon, Lakeside, Ramona, and Carlsbad (Pourade 19 64:167-191). In 1884, just prior to the boom, a small farming community had grown up around Frazie's Station, on the site of present-day downtown Carlsbad. With the beginning of the boom in 1886 speculators organized the Carlsbad Land and Town Company and subdivided 400 acres of the original town site (Figure 1). They intended to attract people by promoting the local spring water and named the community after famous mineral springs in Carlsbad, Germany. Between 1886 and 1887 the new community grew to a town of over 300 people. In the fall of 1887, however, the speculation bubble burst and the boom collapsed, bringing a period of economic stagnation until 1914. By the mid 1890s the population of Carlsbad had fallen to appr(>ximately 50 inhabitants and many structures stood abandoned (Roth and Associates 1990). During this period a small, square, false front, frame commercial building stood on the project property (Figure 2). It appears in a historic photograph of the area which, unfortunately, is undated. The fact that the building does not appear on the 1901 U.S.G.S. topographic map of the area, which was surveyed in 1898, suggests this structure was probably built during the boom period of 1886-1887 and ad disappeared by the turn of the century (U.S.G.S. 1901). The period from 1914 to 1932 was one of renewed economic growth for Carlsbad. By 1^20 the population had increased to 121. The number of inhabitants continued to increase through the following decade, stimulated by another regional land boom. By 1931 the population stood at 2,600. This growth brought establishment of the town's commercial district to supply the needs of the surrounding agricultural industry and suburban population. Businesses included stores, offices, warehouses, hotels, a movie theater, gas stations, and building supply stores (Roth and Associates 1990). Growth of the commercial district brought development of the project property. In 1925 the lot still stood vacant but was surrounded with recently built businesses and sheds along the railroad track (Figure 3)(Sanborn 1925). The following year Robert Baird, a former Montana lumber dealer, moved to Carlsbad {Carlsbad Journal 10-7-1981:2). In October 1926 he established the Home Builder's Store in partnership with his wife Emma and C. M. Davy (Articles of Incorporation 1926). The business consisted of a single story coramercial building that still stands on the project property and a series of lumber sheds to the rear of the structure paralleling the railroad tracks (Sanborn 1929) (Figures 4-7). Davy died in 1936 and the partnership was formally dissolved in 1939 (San Diego County Directories 1936; Articles of Incorporation 1939). Robert Baird continued to run the Home Builders Store through the late 1940s. He established himself as a successful and well liked merchant catering to small contractors and private home builders who he often helped with structural design. He drew the plans and donated material for the original Carlsbad Union Church which was an important community focal point during the period (Jones 1993; Helton 1993). In addition Baird designed the Red Apple, and the boat house on Buena Vista Lagoon (Roth and Associates 1990) During the World War II the Home Builders Store was the center for Carlsbad's recycling drives. Tires, metal, and silk stockings were collected and stored in the rear of the pr-operty (Roth ind .A.s20ciates 1990). Baird became well known for e.x tending easy credit to local residents and was remembered by one of his contemporaries, Claude Helton, as one "one of the nicest fellows I ever knew" (Helton 1993). By 1947, Robert Baird had retired and the buildings Howard Baumgartner's Carlsbad Lumber Company te 1960s (Baldwin 1993; Baumgartner 1993). Its jse has been as a liquor store and delicatessen III. Architectural Assessment wer e used unt il the mo s t r e c en The s true t ures at 417 Carlsbad V i 11 a g e D r i V e consists of the o r i gina 1 Home Bu ilders Store c omme r c i a 1 b u ilding and a 1umbe r s hed . The pre sent lot whe r e the y a r e 1 o cated me a s u r e s a pp r o .X i ma tely 50 by 150 fee t (Figure s 8 -9). The commercial building is a single story structure that measures approximately 42 by 60 feet (Figures 10-11). The building is of two by four stud frame construction with two by 6 inch ceiling and floor joists. It is supported by a poured concrete foundation. The face of the building presents a false front exhibiting a series of large plate glass show windows and is typical of many pre-World War Two store facades. Modern board and bat siding covers the original stucco finish. Small, rectangular, chipped glass contiguous ribbon windows above each plate glass panel are the onl>' decorative elements. These are presently obstructed by a modern shake shingle covered awning that covers the sidewalk on the front and a portion of the west sides. In addition, the original windows on the building's west side have been covered over and a modern bay window installed. The building is entered through the front door centered in the front facade (Figure 12). No original store fixtures remain inside the structure. The present interior reflects the building's last use as a delicatessen and liquor store. A cashier's counter and merchandise shelves are located in the northeast corner. Along the east wall are the remains of what appear to be an insulated plywood cold room. A modern grey ceramic tiled area against the west wall represent the former deli kitchen location. Storage areas and rest rooms were located to the rear of the structure (Figures 13-14). The lumber shed is a one and a half story structure that measures approximately 16 by 60 feet, and is located 10 feet to the rear of the commercial building (Figure 15). It is of balloon frame construction utilizing 4 by 4 inch posts and 2 by 6 inch roof joists and rafters. Modern plywood partitions have been added. The building has a moderately pi t ched aspha11 c O V e r e d r oo e, The n o r t h and s ou t h e X t e r i o r sides are covere d w i t h ' A by "1 inch shi p 1 3 p.

SIGNIFICANCE Historical and architectural significance of the Structures was determined by applying criteria established by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQ.A) legislation (Section 21083 and Appendix K). According to Appendix K, Section III of CEQA, an important resource is one whi ch: A : Is a s s oci a t ed with a n even t o r p e r son of : 1) r e c ogn i 2 ed signi f i a n c e i n C a 1 i f o r n i a o r Ame r i c an h i s t ory or » 2) re cogn i z e d sci ent ific imp o r t anc i n pr eh i s tory. vide i n r a b 1 9 P ing s c i ble a r c pe c i a 1 best e of i t s Has D: Is at least 100 years old and possesses substantial stratigraphic integrity. E! Involves important research questions that . historical research has shown can be answered only with archaeological methods. In addition, the structures were assessed using significance criteria defined by the City of Carlsbad Cultural Resource Guidelines. These state that in the City of Carlsbad a cultural resource is also considered important when : 1. It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the city's cultural, social, economic, political, esthetic, engineering, or architectural history. 2. It is identified with persons or events significant in local, state, or national history. 3. It embodies distinctive characteristics of style, type, period, or method of construction, is a of indi g e nou s o r IS r e P res 1 a imed b u i Ide r oio gi cal g i c al . o pot en tia i c va lue materials or craftsmanship, of a notable work of an acc designer, or architect. It is an archaeological, pa geological, topographical, geographical site which has yielding information of sci It is a geographically definable area possessing a concentration of sites, buildings, structures, improvements, or objects linked historically through location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and or association, in which the collective value of the improvements may be greater than the value of each individual improvement. The structures at 417 Carlsbad Village Drive are not historically significant. They are not associated with historically important events; nor were any of its builders or owners significant in the development of California or American history. Robert Baird was a well known merchant and resident of Carlsbad for many years. However, any historical significance the structures may have through their association with him has been mitigated by the information provided in this report. In addition, neither of the structures possess architectural attributes that meet any of the criteria defined by CEQA or the City of Carlsbad Cultural Resource Guidelines to qualify as important resources. They are common vernacular structures that neither "exemplify or reflect special elements of the city's cultural, social, economic, political, esthetic, engineering, or architectural history;" nor do they "embody distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, or method of construction" or represent the notable "work of an acclaimed builder, designer, or architect". V. RECOMMENDATIONS The structures at ^17 Carlsbad Village Drive have been found not to be important or significant resources as defined by the criteria of the California Environmental Quality Act and the City of Carlsbad Cultural Resource Guidelines. Therefore, no further work is necessary to mitigate adverse impacts to the structures as a result of their proposed demolition. The city has expressed concern 9 over the possible existence of buried archaeological resources and has requested that a qualified historical archaeological monitor be present if the present ground surface is graded (See a11ached 1 eter ) .

Prior to the demolition, the historian will sand a letter to the City stating that the structures are not signiticant under California Environmental Quaiity Act (CEQA) or City Guidelines. You stated at the meeting that no grading will be done. Should grading occur, the historian will be on site during any grading as well as spot checking demolition. After reviewing the Information presented at their meeting, the Historic Preservation Commission recommends the historian hired by the developer provide historical background Information, line drawings/measurements and photos and to determine the importance of these structures under City Guideiines and CEQA. Monitoring by a historian of demolition and grading Is also raquired. Shouid subsurface finds be encountered, these will also need to be evaluated as to Importance under CEOA and City Guidelines. Should the structures and/or subsurface finds be identified as important under CEQA, then mitigation measures will be necessary. However, should these structures and/or a subsurface finds be identified as not important, then no further work will be required. The historian's report wiil be submitted within one week or, prior to issuance of building permits. If the structures are identified as not important and no further work is required under CEQA. then the Commission recommends that the old wood, from the barn-like structure, and early Carlsbad photos be used within the proposed Fish House Vera Cruz Restaurant.
