The purpose of the Historic Preservation Ordinance is: " ... to stabilize and improve buildings, structures or areas which are considered to be of historical, architectural, archaeological or ecological value, to foster civic beauty, to strengthen the local economy and to promote the use of historic resources for the education and welfare of the citizens." Standard Conditions that apply to Class 1 Historic Sites or Resources The following shall apply to a Class 1 Historic Site or Resource: 1. It shall meet the definition of a Class 1 historic resource as outlined in Municipal Code Section 8.05.020 including the findings outlined in Section 8.05.070 (C). 2. An archival file shall be maintained on the property by the City. 3. It may be qualified as 'historic' at the federal, state, and/or county level. 4. A marker explaining the historic nature of the site may be installed at the site in a location viewable from the public way. 5. Compliance with all rules and regulations for Historic Resources and Historic Districts under Chapter 8.05 of the Municipal Code. 6. If designated, the findings in support of designation shall be stated in a resolution of the City Council that shall be recorded with the County Recorders' office within 90 days of the effective date of the Council's resolution. Evaluation of the Application. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 8.05.070 (C, 1,a), the City Council shall evaluate the application and make findings in conformance with the following criteria: Criteria for the Designation of Class 1 Historic Resources. A site, structure, building or object may be designated as a Class 1 historic resource, provided both of the following findings ("a" and "b'J are met: a. The site, structure, building or object exhibits exceptional historic significance and meets one or more of the criteria listed below: The Pearson residence exhibits exceptional historic significance because of its association with Henry Pearson a nationally recognized expert in the rubber industry and its picturesque architectural design. (Criterion 1) The resource is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state or community; 4City Council Staff Report February 11, 2021--Page 4 of 8 Case HSPB #131 -573 Cahuilla Road -The Henry Pearson Residence The report does not identify any events associated with the site, thus the site does not qualify under Criterion 1. (Criterion 2) The resource is associated with the lives of persons who made a meaningful contribution to national, state or local history; Beginning on page 29, the report analyzes the Pearson Residence for conformance with the Criteria established in the City's historic preservation ordinance. The report identifies the home's first owner Henry Pearson (1858 -1936) as a person of significance who made a meaningful contribution to the rubber industry at an international level. Pearson was recognized as an expert and scholar in the development of the rubber industry. The report states, "For the nation and the world, his discovery that the commercial cultivation of rubber in certain parts of the world could be practically and economically achieved hastened the availability of rubber tires for the automotive industry at a critical period in that industry's evolution." Pearson was 72 when he had the Cahuilla Road home built. The report asserts on page 30, that Pearson's prominence and leading role in the commercial development of the worldwide rubber industry continued until (and beyond) his death. Thus the report concludes that the site is associated with Pearson during his productive period, a stipulation outlined in the National Register bulletin titled, "How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation". Thus the Pearson Residence qualifies as a historic resource under Criterion 2. (Criterion 3) The resource reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state or local history; The report asserts on page 30 that the Pearson residence reflects the period between the wars (1919 -1941) in which the Spanish and Mediterranean Revival styles were the predominant architectural choice in Palm Springs and much of the Southwestern United States. Although there are many modest homes from this period scattered throughout the older neighborhoods in Palm Springs, most were simple vernacular structures without much regard paid to the overall design, pattern of fenestration or massing. The Pearson residence is distinctive because of its overall architectural composition and attention to subtle detail reflecting the design proficiency of a trained architect (John Edward Barnard). As such the Pearson residence qualifies as a historic site under Criterion 3. (Criterion 4) The resource embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; The Pearson residence does not qualify as a historic resource under Criterion 4. (Criterion 5) The resource presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age, or that possesses high artistic value; 5City Council Staff Report February 11, 2021--Page 5 of 8 Case HSPB #131 -573 Cahuilla Road -The Henry Pearson Residence The Pearson residence was designed by Henry Pearson's nephew, architect John Edwin Barnard. Barnard had designed several noteworthy buildings on the East Coast prior to taking on the commission to design the Pearson residence. His work had been recognized by the architectural profession and his designs had been published in Architectural Record in 1919. Although Barnard does not necessarily rise to the level of a "master architect whose genius influenced his age", the design composition of the Pearson Residence demonstrates Barnard's ability to work within the Spanish Colonial Revival Style in an adept manner. Furthermore, the report notes that the subtle but distinctive details and relaxed symmetry of the Pearson residence sets it apart from many other similar small homes throughout the older sections of Palm Springs done in a simplified Spanish Colonial Revival style. The report identifies the Pearson residence as possessing high artistic value and as such qualifies as a historic resource under Criterion 5. (Criterion 6) The resource represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may Jack individual distinction, as used in evaluating applications for designation of historic districts, for parcels on which more than one entity exists; or The report does not assert that the Pearson residence qualifies under Criterion 6. (Criterion 7) The resource has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to national, state or local history or prehistory. No information has been provided in the historic resources report on any pre-historic significance of the site. Analysis of Integrity. (PSMC 8.05.070 (C, 1,b). The site, structure, building or object retains one or more of the following aspects of integrity, as established in the Secretary of the Interior's Standards: integrity of design, materials, workmanship, location, setting, feeling, or association. The application includes an evaluation of the site relative to the seven aspects or qualities of integrity, as recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. The seven aspects or qualities include location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The application concludes that the site retains a high degree of integrity. Below is staff's evaluation of the site's integrity based on the report and site visit. 1. Location: The Pearson residence remains in the same location that it was constructed, thus it retains integrity of location. 6City Council Staff Report February 11, 2021--Page 6 of 8 Case HSPB #131 -573 Cahuilla Road -The Henry Pearson Residence 2. Design: On page 32, the report details the impact of additions made in the 1960's which include an addition on the south side of the home and the creation of a roof terrace. Although there have been some modifications to the home, the design of the major alterations and additions are harmonious in their aesthetic with the design and aesthetic composition of the original home. Thus the Pearson residence exhibits integrity of design. 3. Setting: The setting of the Pearson residence has evolved over time. This can be seen in comparing early photos of the home with current ones, in which a mostly naturalized desert setting has become lushly planted with grass, mature trees and shrubs. Furthermore, according to the report, a sizable guest house was added some time in the 1970's on the northerly part of the parcel. This guest house can be clearly seen in the aerial photo shown earlier in this staff report. The 1970's guest house addition and the transformation of the landscape on the site from a sparsely planted desert palette to a lush park-like setting have altered the setting of the Pearson residence. Despite these changes, the Pearson residence still retains a relatively strong relationship to its site in terms of the generous amount of open space around the home. The front elevation of the home continues to be framed by two pairs of palm trees that Pearson relocated from his Deepwell property. As such the Pearson residence retains a fair degree of integrity of setting. 4. Materials: The Pearson residence retains its integrity of materials, namely the simple stucco walls, clay tile roofs, exposed wood timbers and beams and multi-paned casement windows 1• 5. Workmanship: The report notes that the Pearson residence is of typical construction common to the period with no particularly unique workmanship characteristics. 6. Feeling: As noted on page 34 of the report, the Pearson residence is sited with ample open space in its garden and yards and although the vegetation is more lush with considerable expanses of grass, boulders and plantings, the feeling of spaciousness and openness of the home's site still remains. 1 The report notes that numerous windows that were badly deteriorated were replaced by past owners with wood multi-pane windows, similar to the original. 7City Council Staff Report February 11, 2021--Page 7 of 8 Case HSPB #131 -573 Cahuilla Road -The Henry Pearson Residence. 7. Association: The association with Henry Pearson and architect John Barnard is well documented in the report. The home's simplified Spanish Colonial Revival style and expansive open site reflects its period of significance from the 1930's also, thus integrity of Association remains strong. DEFINING HISTORIC CHARACTERISTICS In considering a recommendation for historic resource designation it is important to distinguish those physical elements that are original or from the period of significance that contribute to the resource's historic significance from alterations, additions or features that were added at a later time that may be sympathetic to the original character, but which may create a false sense of historicity. Distinguishing original character-defining features from non-original elements aids the HSPB when it is tasked with evaluating future alterations to the historic resource. The physical character-defining historic features of this site include the following: 1. Its simplified Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture. 2. The red clay barrel-tile roof (not original, but replicated to look as original) 3. Smooth stucco walls and chimney. 4. Informal asymmetrical fenestration patterns. 5. Wood support beams and corbels at the porch. 6. Doorway lintel. 7. Crescent-shaped cut-out detail on the south wall. 8. Inset arched recess on south wall. 9. Round air vents above window, northeast elevation, bedroom wing. 10. Twin palm trees on either side of the entry pathway planted by Pearson. The non-contributing features include the following: 1. The guest house built in the 1970's. 2. The pool and hot tub. 3. The roof terrace and stairs. 4. The kitchen extension on the south elevation. 5. The barbeque. 6. The fountain on the north side of the home. 7. The landscaping (except as noted above). ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The proposed historic resource designation is not subject to the California 8City Council Staff Report February 11, 2021--Page 8 of 8 Case HSPB #131 -573 Cahuilla Road -The Henry Pearson Residence Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical changes to the environment, directly or indirectly. NOTIFICATION Pursuant to section 8.05.140 of the Municipal Code of Palm Springs, All residents within five hundred (500) feet of the subject property have been notified and notice was made in a newspaper of general circulation. CONCLUSION: The Henry Pearson residence meets the definition of a historic resource based on Criteria 2, 3, and 4 and retains a high degree of historic integrity. Staff has concluded that the resource qualifies as a Class 1 historic site. FISCAL IMPACT: None. SUBMITTED BY: ~ C . -l ~ ;.nn Fagg, AIC -1(; Development Services Director ~.,.;?~~ David H.

Photo: Jim Riche 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE 573 N. Cahuilla Road The Pearson Residence is located at 573 N. Cahuilla Road in one of Palm Springs' earliest subdivisions: Vista Acres. The subdivision was created in 1923 by local developer Prescott T. Stevens, then purchased by Alvah Hicks. The house was commissioned by its first owner, Henry Pearson, and completed in 1930. The architect was the owner's nephew: John Edwin Barnard, AIA, a reputable Boston-based designer. The house is a fine, early example of a Spanish Colonial Revival home: the most popular style of house in Palm Springs in the 1930s. It exhibits many of the stylistic features that place it within the historic context of the period "Palm Springs between the Wars (1919-1941)," as defined in the Citywide Historic Context Statement and Survey Findings (Historic Resources Group). It is a single story, bungalow-style home, with informal living spaces. The exterior elevations are finished in stucco; the roof is terracotta tile, with exposed wood joists, wood overhang supports, and decorative corbels at the eaves. The house is in excellent condition, maintaining a significant amount of integrity to its main elevations, as illustrated by the historic and contemporary images. Henry Pearson was considered the world's leading expert on the production of rubber and was the founder of a respected journal, 'India Rubber World,' that he started at the turn of the 20th century. He wrote extensively on the topic and toured the rubber-producing countries of the world. His discovery that a certain variety of rubber plant could be tapped every other day (instead of every three months), turned high-volume rubber production into a global industry just as the automobile was becoming popularly available. Pearson was also one of Palm Springs' original pioneers: the area of the city now known as Deepwell is named for the 'deep well' that Pearson founded when he bought the area's first ranch property in 1921. The ranch had been abandoned by previous owners for lack of water. Pearson discovered water at 100 ft before continuing to 613 feet, where he stopped, naming his property Deep Well Ranch. His nephew, John Edwin Barnard, was a respected architect from Boston; he designed classical- style homes in the Boston suburbs, at least two of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. When architecture work dried up during the Great Depression, Barnard came to Palm Springs to design this house for his uncle. He was also an acclaimed watercolor artist. 2 BACKGROUND / HISTORIC CONTEXT Palm Springs: vintage view circa 1926 (Palm Springs Villager, April 1948, credits Culver Nichols Collection) The relatively short history of Palm Springs can be organized into several distinct periods, as defined by the Citywide Historic Context Statement & Survey Findings. By the 1920s, Palm Springs was transitioning from being a 'modest spa town' destination for its dry air and hot springs -to a luxury winter resort for rich industrialists and Hollywood celebrities -thanks to the creation of tourist hotels such as the Desert Inn, the Oasis in 1925 and the El Mirador in 1927. Extracts below are from the City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement & Survey Findings 'Palm Springs Between the Wars: 1919-1941' (The Historic Resources Group)1 : "In the 1920s, business tycoons, industrialists, and other wealthy businessmen, along with the Hollywood elite, discovered the desert and began to transform Palm Springs into an international resort. While the movie stars primarily stayed at the resort hotels when visiting Palm Springs, other wealthy residents and seasonal visitors started building architect-designed estates and drawing increased attention to the growing resort town." "Architecturally, the Spanish and Mediterranean Revival styles were the town's dominant architectural expression during this period." "There is a small number of 1920s and 1930s 'California bungalows' ... and the modest, one- story, bungalow type is seen throughout the early neighborhoods, albeit with varying stylistic details. The California bungalow was a simple, garden-oriented house uniquely suited for the climate and lifestyle of the region. The term bungalow typically refers to a modest, one-or one- and-a-half-story house with an informal floor plan. The exteriors were generally simple, to fit 1 City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement & Survey Findings 'Palm Springs Between the Wars: 1919-1941' (The Historic Resources Group) 3 with the rugged lifestyle of the inhabitants, and the use of natural materials was important to the design aesthetic. Wide, overhanging eaves not only emphasized the horizontal emphasis of the small bungalow, but were also practical in shading the house from the hot California sun. Structural members were exposed, particularly at the roof line. Brick or stone foundations supported the wood frames, which were clad either in wood shingles or stucco, and heavy supports define the deeply recessed front porch. Residential design in the 1920s displays an eclectic array of period revival styles, inspired in part by the Panama-California Exposition and the burgeoning film industry. As the focus on regional expression through architecture evolved, period and ex(?tic revival styles took hold throughout California. Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival examples prevailed, in large measure due to the Panama-California Exposition, held in San Diego in 1915." VISTA ACRES Information in quotations marks below is quoted from the City of Palm Springs Historic Context Survey. "The first residential subdivisions were recorded in the early 1920s on tracts largely concentrated on land immediately surrounding the existing village and the resorts. Several tracts were subdivided by Prescott T. Stevens, along with other prominent early Palm Springs settlers including Pearl McManus, Raymond Cree, and Harriet Cody. There are extant properties from this period associated with some of the village's most prominent citizens ... " "Pre-World War II residential development was largely concentrated on land immediately surrounding the existing village and the resorts: "the sheltered area." Development to the west of ealm Canyon Drive at the base of the foothills provided shelter from wind and blowing sand as well as vistas of the surrounding mountains and desert landscape." "The transition from resort to residential development began in earnest in 1923. In January of that year, Prescott T. Stevens developed Vista Acres, a 27-parcel subdivision west of Palm Canyon Drive along W. Chino Drive." According to former Palm Springs Mayor, Frank Bogert2, "P. T. Stevens should be classed as a top pioneer in Palm Springs .... " Bogert explained that his father bought cattle from P. T. in Colorado and knew him well, said he was one of the best cattlemen on the Western slope. When P. T. and his wife Frances moved to Palm Springs in 1912, she was in poor health. They stayed at one of the tent houses of the early Desert Inn. Stevens bought a lot of land from the Southern Pacific Railroad and built a house. His confidence in Palm Springs made him the leading developer. "H~ helped Alvah Hicks build the Vista Acres subdivision that today is called Las Palmas." In 1926 Stevens started on the El Mirador Hotel, that was completed in 1927, becoming a major attraction that helped turn Palm Springs into a tourist destination. Along with the 'Las Hacienditas' subdivision in 1923, Vista Acres was one of the earliest recorded subdivisions in the town. 2 "View from the Saddle: Characters Who Crossed My Trail." Frank Bogert, Sharon Apfelbaum. (pub. ETC. Books, 2006). 4 Grant deeds from 1923 show that P.T. Stevens and his wife Frances sold the subdivision to Alvah Hicks. The subdivision comprised six blocks which in turn included 27 lots. Conditions and restrictions included 1) that only 'a first class private residence with the customary out buildings, including private garage, shall be permitted' -and no more than one -although a duplex home would be allowed; 2) that the cost of same should be no less than $5,000; 3) that 'none of said lots shall ever be occupied by any person of any race or descent other than the white or Caucasian race'. (Fortunately, these conditions were terminated after January 1st, 1975, according to the original grant deed). "Development in all of Palm Springs' pre-World War II residential tracts was sparse ... Many early homes were constructed on multiple parcels with ample space for landscaped private gardens." Palm Springs Villager magazine in a 1948 article3 on the history of Palm Springs explained that Alvah Hicks gave up his homestead in the village to settle there permanently as a carpenter and a builder, having befriended P.T. Stevens. "Goaded and assisted by that virile optimist (Stevens), (Hicks) mortgaged everything he owned to acquire a twenty-acre plot of desert land now in the Village and known as Vista Acres. Subdividing this land, he built houses, some for speculation, some on order. It was hard going, but it resulted in placing him on a financially secure basis."

Pearson (seated) from a 1908 edition of 'India Rubber World'. (source: Internet Archive) Pearson toured the rubber-producing countries of the world; he wrote extensive reports on the topic of rubber cultivatio~ for commercial use for his publication, for the US government6, and for Encyclopedia Britannica. As a result of his global investigations, he established that a particular rubber plant could be tapped every other day (instead of every three months) and that this plant could be cultivated to produce rubber for commercial purposes. It was a discovery that would change the world at a critical time: the advent of the automobile -and the need for economical rubber tire production. Eventually 'India Rubber World' became 'Rubber World', still published to this day as the 130-year old resource for the industry, started by Pearson (www.rubberworld.com ). He authored multiple books, many of which have been reprinted for reference as important historical documents, as recently as 2018, including "What I Saw in The Tropics. 11 5 Sourced May 25th, 2020 6 Department of Commerce Bureau of Standards, September 19th• 1925 (source: Internet Archive) (Appendix V). 7 Front cover of one of Pearson's many books (source: Internet Archlve)7 Pearson attended and spoke at conferences in Europe and around the world. The Royal Geographical Society in England made him an honorary fellow at a time when England was a leader in the industry: many of the rubber-producing nations were British colonies. Henry C. Pearson's expertise educated politicians, the business community, and the public. After Pearson moved to Los Angeles in 1920, he consulted with tire manufacturers Goodyear and Firestone. Both companies had moved their business to the city to take advantage of improved shipping provided by the recently expanded Los Angeles Harbor and via the 1914 opening of the Panama Canal. His reputation stayed with him into his later years. In 1933, the Los Angeles Times ran an article about life in Palm Springs, entitled 'The Lee Side'8 • One paragraph was captioned 'Notables from Far and Near' and included Henry C. Pearson in the list, along with W. K. Kellogg, Edward H. Sears, King Gillette, and Marius de Brabant. (Appendix V). Palm Springs Limelight in a 1934 birthday interview with Pearson (when he turned 76 years old) described him thus: " ... (he) has written more about rubber than any other man in the world and who is recognized by the industry to know more about it as well ... made genial fun of life and the people in it, including himself ... " In 1935, the year before he died, he was featured in the Los Angeles Times Sunday magazine9 in (Appendix V) a nearly full-page article about his donation of 700 books (about the rubber industry) to the Los Angeles Public Library. The caption under his photo said "Henry C. Pearson. 'Los Angeles is destined to be the greatest city in the country."' The sub-heading read: 7 Sourced June 16th, 2020 8 Los Angeles Times, January 21st, 1933 'The Lee Side o' L-A' by Lee Shippey. 9 Los Angeles Times, November 10th, 1935 1700 Books -For Us! By Alma Whitaker 8 "Henry C. Pearson believed in rubber when the rest of the world scoffed at it. And now in his 78th year he has given the priceless collection of a lifetime's work to the Los Angeles Public Library because -well, that's the story." The article explained that the gift was coveted by New York, Boston, and Chicago, but that Pearson had donated the collection to Los Angeles because 'it is destined to be the greatest city in the country.' The gift of 700 'rare books all appertaining to rubber' was expected to draw experts from around the world to consult the publications. The article went on to say: "Mr. Pearson ... is the rubber expert of the world ... " "The development of rubber is a thrilling commercial romance. Mr. Pearson played an important part in it. Before 1904, the industry never conceived that rubber could be cultivated, but supposed it must grow wild ... " "When pneumatic tires burst upon the horizon, rubber rose from a few cents a pound to $3. The modern motor car would be impossible without rubber. But when Mr. Pearson talked cultivation, he had to convince bankers and rubber manufacturers who snorted, "You might as well try to cultivate coal." "Snooping about in the remote places of the world, it was Mr. Pearson who discovered that para trees were susceptible to the most profitable cultivation -that where other varieties could only be tapped every three months, para could be tapped every other day. It was he who broadcast the information that rubber planted in the Malay States could be sold profitably at 25 cents a pound while it cost 75 cents in the Amazon territory." The article described Pearson's career as 'a scientist, an engineer, a chemist, an explorer, a newspaperman ... ' and a 'deep student of the Bible.' "In short, the world's foremost rubber expert is an incurable fundamentalist. He has seen and been a factor in too many earthly miracles to doubt any of those recorded in the Bible." Pearson's 1935 legacy to the Los Angeles Library was described as 'invaluable.' The Los Angeles Times reported that besides the books there were several hundred boxes of original manuscripts and pamphlets from around the world that would take a year or more to index. "The Firestone Company offered Mr. Pearson $25,000 for the pamphlets alone." "The many rubber-manufacturing companies here are elated that all this material will now be available so close at hand." When Henry Pearson died in June 1936, the Los Angeles Times devoted the first column on its front page to the 'Noted Authority on Rubber', with a large photo of Pearson in the adjoining column (Appendix V). Under the heading 'Death Calls H.C. Pearson,' a subheading read 'Man Who Predicted Great Industry for City Dies of Heart Attack. The article went on to say: "Scientist, author, chemist, publisher and world traveler, Mr. Pearson devoted nearly all his life to the subject of rubber and its uses." "His record is traced in the British as well as the American Who's Who." 9 "Manufacturers laughed at him when he predicted great rubber plantations in far-flung tropical regions, but he helped develop them. In 1920, when the rubber industry was still concentrated in the East, he predicted that some day Los Angeles would be a great rubber center." Similarly, his death was reported extensively on the front page of the Desert Sun under the heading, 'Henry C. Pearson National Figure Called by Death.' "The community was shocked yesterday to hear of the death of Henry Pearson ... Henry Clemens Pearson was a national figure ... He came to Palm Springs in 1920 ... to make this his winter home ... " "During all these years he has been active in community development, among his most important undertakings being the deep well ... which netted an abundant supply of pure water." The article continues by saying he owned Arenas Lodge, but later 'built a large home on C~ino Drive in Vista Acres.' Pearson in Palm Springs Articles (in the Desert Sun, Palm Springs Limelight, and Palm Springs Villager) (Appendix V) indicate that Pearson and his niece Esther arrived in Palm Springs in 1921 and took over the property that he subsequently called Deep Well Ranch. Grant deed information shows that Pearson's purchase of the Vista Acres lot was completed in October 1930. (Appendix IV). By 1922 Pearson's commitment to the west coast was completed when he sold his 'attractive summer cottage' in Cape Cod: a 4-bedroom house that was in 'one of the most secluded and picturesque locations.10 Pearson lived in a variety of Los Angeles locations, before settling in to his summer home in Altadena, where he died in June 1936. Palm Springs became the winter home for Pearson and his niece Esther. She was often referred to in print as Pearson's daughter including in Henry Pearson's obituary in both the Los Angeles Times and the Desert Sun 11 • However, in her own 1958 obituary12, (where she was described as 'long active in civic and social life' in Palm Springs), the family arrangement described her as Pearson's niece and the home's architect, John Edwin Barnard, as her youngest sibling. Perhaps the conventions of the times dictated that she took Pearson's last name -or perhaps Henry Pearson adopted her. She was 25 years younger than Henry Pearson. She was listed as a 'spinster' and as 'joint tenant' in the grant deeds for the property. (Appendix IV). When Pearson's wife Adelaide died in 1907, no mention was made of any children or other heirs13 • Esther continued to have a home in Palm Springs long after Pearson died, and she played a significant role in the development of the town's library, the Woman's Club, the Humane Society, the Desert Riders, and other social and philanthropic activities. 10 Boston Globe, 13th August 1922 (Newspapers.com source} 11 Desert Sun, 12th June 1936 (CDNC.ucr.edu.source) 12 Desert Sun, 24th June 1958. (CDNC.ucr.edu source}. "Early Civic, Social Leader Dies at 75." 13 Boston Globe, 16th August 1907 (Appendix V} 10 In the 1952 'Story of Deep Well' by Melba Bennett14 (Appendix V), Bennett explained: "Mr. Henry Pearson, eminent scientist and authority on rubber ... drilled a well and was amazed to find water so close to the surface. The curiosity of the scientist tempted him and from the hundred-foot level where he hit water, he drilled further, and after passing several other water stratum, at 630 feet (613 ft described in other articles) he called it quits. From this well, the deepest in the Coachella Valley, the property which had been originally cultivated by the Indians, then had been set out as an orchard by Fitch and later by McKinney, and had twice been defeated by the shortage of water, came to be known as the Deep Well Ranch." Pearson's ranch at Deep Well, 1925. (Palm Springs Historical Society archive) "Pearson and his daughter (sic), Esther, employed the services of Alvah Hicks and Hans Hansen to build them a board and batten ranch house. It consisted of a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and a tiny library. A small one room guest house was built at the rear, on the patio. But the ranch proved too isolated for the Pearsons and in 1928 they moved into the village (to the Arenos Road property) and sold the ranch to an easterner by the name of Charles Doyle." A 1952 article about Pearson in the Desert Sun (Appendix V), reflected much of the same information -except the depth of the well made more sense: " ... Although (Pearson) found water at the 100-foot level, he couldn't resist experimenting, drilled a little further, hit water again, and, curious as to how many water strata there were, continued on to 613 feet, where he stopped, because 13 was his lucky number." "With a large water supply available, the Pearsons planted several Washingtonia Filifera palms, giving each one its own name. There was Mutt and Jeff, Uncle Bim, Aunt Het, and several others. Palos verdes, tamarisks, and other desert trees were also planted and before long the sand patch had been converted into a beautiful oasis." The article reported that the palm trees went with Pearson to his next house, and thence to the Chino Drive house, where they remain to this day. 14 Palm Springs Villager, February 1952 11 Pearson was familiar with the Vista Acres tract that Alvah Hicks bought from Prescott T. Stevens, just south of the Merito Vista tract. As Hicks had built Pearson's Deep Well house and the men shared a mutual interest in the valley's water supplies that Hicks ran, they knew ~ach other well. Pearson, already in his 70s, decided to build a new home at Vista Acres. Grant deed shows purchase of land completed in October 1930 although clearly the transaction was already in the works as in March that year the Desert Sun reported that Pearson's youngest nephew was · d_esigning the house. The March 1930 Desert Sun article said: "Henry C. Pearson, editor of the India Rubber World and founder of Deep Well Ranch in Palm Springs, will build a home on his estate in the Merita Vista tract (Vista Acres bordered this tract). His nephew, John Barnard B.S. of Boston, Mass, is here to design the home." According to the 1934 'Palm Springs Limelight' article (Appendix V): "The (Deep Well) ranch in those days was isolated far more than it is today, and the family eventually moved nearer the center of things on Arenas Road. Another move took them to the home on Cahuilla Road which they built a few years ago and where they now live." 12 In 1933, the Los Angeles Times published an article entitle 'The Lee Side o' L.A.' (Appendix V} about life in Palm Springs during the winter months.15 The highly descriptive article that expressed delight in the ease of access, the scenery, and the lifestyle, also described the winter residents: "Not many communities of 1500 souls have such a proportion of Who's Who-ers as has Palm Springs in the winter. Nearly every noted Southland visitor goes there, from Einstein to Jimmie Walker.'' The article listed the 'Notables from Far and Near/ a list that included the family of Edward H. Sears, W. K. Kellogg, oil man Thomas O'Donnell, and 'Henry C. Pearson, editor and author.' In 1935, the donation of books to the Los Angeles Library was perhaps to relieve the chore of packing everything up for his next move. By 1935 Pearson had already started construction on another house in Las Palmas estates, built by William Marte and H. L. (Hans) Hansen, described in their 1937 project list as a '7-room stone-tile, Las Palmas Estates'. Grant deeds show that the Pearsons sold their Cahuilla Dr home in January 1936 (Appendix IV}. When Henry Pearson died in June 1936, the Desert Sun reported: "At one time Mr. Pearson owned Arenas Lodge, and later built a large home on Chino Drive in Vista Acres (573 N. Cahuilla is on the corner of Chino Dr), which was sold last year. Recently he started construction on another new home in the Merita Vista tract which is now nearly completed." A photo of the Las Pal mas house in the Palm Springs Historical Society archive is dated 1936 and appears complete. Esther Pearson continued to live there after her uncle died and sold the house in 1941 to the actor William Powell; she then moved to 430 Baristo Road and continued to winter in Palm Springs for the rest of her life. 15 Los Angeles Times, Jan 21 st 1933, 'The Lee Side o' L.A.' page A4. By Lee Shippey. 13 Second owners: Mr. & Mrs. T. C. Lupton (January 1936 -1940) Grant deeds (Appendix IV) show that the next owners were Mr. & Mrs. T. C. Lupton from mid- January 1936. Mr. T. C. Lupton died in December 1936, reported on the front page of the Dallas Morning News.16 Mrs T. C. Lupton appears as owner in the 1937-38 telephone directory. The Luptons were a well-known Dallas family: Lupton's father developed the first Coca-Cola bottling plant in Dallas in 1902, one of the first franchise bottling plants in the country. T. C. Lupton took over the business and became a major shareholder in the Coca-Cola company. In 1935 the Los Angeles Times reported that his Coca-Cola shares were worth nearly $2 million. He owned a minor league baseball team, the Dallas Steers, until 1930 and was president of the Dallas Baseball Athletic Association. 1935 Dallas Morning News Dallas Morning News, Dec. 1st 1936. The Luptons had built a mansion in 1931 (at a cost of $50,000 according to a Dallas Morning News front page item) in one of the best Dallas neighborhoods, on a street that bore the family name: Lupton Lane. (There is also a T.C. Lupton Boulevard in Dallas). Mrs. T. C. Lupton's role as a wealthy, widowed Dallas society hostess was time-consuming. Six months after her husband's death, she ~osted 125 people at a garden party at the Lupton estate. Newspaper reports detailed society gatherings, clubs that she ran as president, along with frequent mentions of her fine diamonds, fabulous outfits, and furs. Her son, T. C. (Tav) Lupton Jr., was only 9 years old when his father died. He subsequently ran the Coca-Cola business until selling it back to Coca-Cola Enterprises in 1986. Mrs. Lupton built a big ranch home in 1939, in the countryside north of Dallas. She sold the Palm Springs house in October 1940. 16 Dallas Morning News, December 1st, 1936.

Hill (1940-1943) Grant deeds show that Dr Jack Hill and his wife Luella purchased the residence at 573 N. Cahuilla in October 1940. Dr. Hill had been the town's main physician since 1935, arriving in Palm Springs from a practice in Brawley and Calexico near the US / Mexico border. Jame$ B. Ollver, M. D. and Jack ru Hill, M.

In July 1939 Dr. Hill was taken very ill, with septicemia and pneumonia while in ldyllwild. He spent several weeks in hospital in Riverside and did not return to work for three months. By 1940 he was active again, purchased the Cahuilla Rd home, and was voted on to the board of directors for the city's Chamber of Commerce. In October 1942, the Desert Sun reported that Dr. Hill had accepted a position at a San Jose hospital -in spite of pleas from the city council for him to stay. Fourth owners: Mr and Mrs. E. B. Caulkins (1943 -1969) Mr. and Mrs. Edward Burns Caulkins were from Grosse Pointe, Ml. He was a Princeton graduate who served in the Army Air Forces during WW2, rising to the rank of major. Post-war he became owner and president of a company that made Quonset huts. Ultimately, he became a vice president of the National Bank of Detroit.

They owned the house for 26 years, selling it just before he retired. Fifth owners: Mr. & Mrs. Nathan Torgan (1969-1974) Nathan 'Nat' Torgan and his wife Genevieve 'Gene' moved to Palm Springs from Rhode Island in 1950, first buying the Montecito apartment hotel, then in 1951 they purchased the Del Tahquitz Hotel that they owned and operated until the late 1950s. Nat Torgan passed away in July 1970 only a year after they purchased the Pearson Residence. ) ~ I Desert Sun / 20 July 1951 Desert Sun, Volume XXIV, Number +-11!1 • Sale ads for the property appeared in April 1971; they described a '3-bed, 3-ba' home with guest house.18 (Permits for the property are limited; no construction permits are on file for the guest house). In July 1971, Mrs. Torgan, having apparently changed her mind about selling the property, added a swimming pool and spa. (See Building permits, Appendix Ill). A 1972 memo from the city's permit supervisor describes one part of the property as being 'vacant and comprises an R-1-A zoned parcel that complies with the requirements for a building site. 17 Desert Sun, 21st July 1944 18 Desert Sun, 1Jlh April 1971 (et al). 16 Changes to property: In addition to permits listed for Caulkins and Torgans above, permits show: (see Appendix Ill) 1944: Bathroom addition (reported in Desert Sun) 1970: January.

" ... the simpler, more rustic style of traditional southwestern adobe, hacienda, and wood ranch vernacular types were believed to be better suited to the desert climate and casual lifestyle. These tended to be informal one-story houses finished in plaster, brick, or board-and-batten siding, with irregular or rambling plans, low-pitched tile or wood shake roofs, wood or steel windows, and minimal ornamentation." Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Spanish Colonial Revival was the most popular architectural style throughout Southern California, and Palm Springs was no exception. By the late 1920s, homes had been built in this style in both Vista Acres and the adjoining Merito Vista tract (now both referred to as 'Old Las Palmas') and many fine examples of the style still remain. Alvah Hicks, who owned the tracts and was responsible for their development, was also the leading contractor in the town, and he favored the Spanish style of architecture. In Patrick McGrew's book, 'Desert Spanish,'19 McGrew opines that: "In Palm Springs, only simplified Spanish Colonial Revival buildings with the least amount of elaborate ornament were built; many are viewed as a precursor to the modern work that followed." McGrew went on to describe the classic architecture of the period: adobe walls, red clay tile roofs, courtyard plan, thick walls, wooden lintels, handmade doors and windows, timber wooden trusses, glazed tile for courtyard fountains, Saltillo pavers. California Southland magazine, from the late 1920s, featured numerous examples by renowned architects of the style of house that Barnard designed for his uncle, and in 1928 the magazine featured monthly plans for Spanish Colonial Revival homes. These would have been an invaluable resource for the east coast architect for the Pearson Residence. 19 'Desert Spanish -The Early Architecture of Palm Springs,' by Patrick McGrew (pub. 2012, Palm Springs Preservation Foundation). 19 - TIit: RS$1DENCE OF 9111; 0IIAlll-TO)l 1: .,u u:a. 8£\'IIIILY ,m.u.

One of dozens of Spanish Colonial Revival houses featured In California Southland magazine, 1927 (US Modernist archives) The Pearson Residence befits the period: an unpretentious one-story 'Spanish Colonial Revival' or 'Desert Spanish' single-story stucco home, with artful decorative touches. The low-slung red clay tile roof and rafters extend out over a covered porch, whose wood support posts are enhanced by carved corbels. A long pathway from the street entry leads directly to the wood front door, deeply inset into the surrounding stucco. A painted wood header sits above the front door. The small-scale windows are wood frame casements, divided into rectangular and square panes. Originally the windows were also accented by wood shutters, removed by a previous owner. (See photos: Appendix II). As was the case with Spanish Colonial Revival homes throughout Palm Springs, the porch was deep, providing extra shade, and the windows were small. In the era before air-conditioning, this combination, along with thick walls, helped to keep homes cool. Pearson and his niece lived in this house during the winter months. The front elevation of the house has a pleasing symmetry, with its front door set to the left of the fireplace wall, framed by the wood support posts of the porch eaves. To the right of the front door the white stucco triangulated chimney pierces the red clay barrel-tile roof. The chimney stack has been slightly extended vertically as can be seen in the historic photo vs. the contemporary image. To the right of the chimney a row of windows provides natural light to the living room. At either end of the central core, two rooms are built out to meet the line of the central porch eaves. On the far right of the house, a gabled roof line tops the main bedroom to the house, with windows to the front garden. To the far left, a smaller room with a sloping tiled roof has a single window facing the front, and a window to the side. This smaller room immediately adjacent to the living room probably functioned as Pearson's library-the description of the Deep Well ranch home mentions a 'tiny library.' The architect included a decorative detail that reflects the Spanish Colonial style of the house, giving it visual interest. This can be seen on the far left of the historic photograph: the arched recess (it appears as a window but doesn't seem to have functioned as such) was a decorative nod to the 'Mission' style of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. To the left of the arched 20 recess, a curved cut-out atop the stucco wall provides an eye-catching crescent shape that framed the mountains beyond. Both these details exist today, however planting now hides the arched recess, and the construction of a built-in barbecue area has obscured the crescent-shaped cut-out. Today, the main house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The later guest house is not included as part of this nomination. The house extended behind the front elevation to include the dining/kitchen area which lay directly behind the living room, Esther's bedroom, and a guest bedroom. A courtyard entrance was enclosed on three sides at the right of the house and was accessed directly from the dining area via glazed French doors -as was common at the time. The courtyard was also overlooked by both the master bedroom and Esther's bedroom. This north elevation of the house retains the same refined symmetry as the front, with the informal entry to the original kitchen / dining area recessed between the walls of the master bedroom to one side and the niece's bedroom to the other. The cooler, north side of the home leads out to a large courtyard patio. 21 North side showing master bedroom at left with gabled root niece's bedroom at right. An informal, recessed entry to the original dining I kitchen area is in the center. On the left (south) of the house, behind the white stucco wall with its crescent cut-out, another private patio space existed. This end of the house has been somewhat remodeled. The patio was extended, enclosed and covered by the Caulkins in the early 1960s, and a tile roof added. The space was converted into a kitchen in recent years. Above this room now exists a stucco walled roof terrace which can be seen on the left of the contemporary photograph shown above. Previously this roof terrace was enclosed by a wooden railing/ fence (see photos: Appendix II). The home was left empty for nearly 10 years before the previous owner purchased the property in 2009. As a result, windows and most doors were replaced (with Milgard Essence Series) to look as close to the originals as possible. The roof terrace was enclosed with a stucco wall to comply with current building codes. The outdoor stairs to the roof terrace were completely rebuilt. The house was re-roofed with clay tiles to match the pattern and placement of the original tiles. The most recent change was the replacement / overlay of new Saltillo pavers t.o the outside terrace on the north side of the property. 22 Architect: John Edwin Barnard, AIA (1888 -1974) John Edwin Barnard, circa 1930. Courtesy: Barnard Family Archive John Edwin Barnard, AIA, was born in Barnstable, MA in 1888, and died there in 1974. He was a 1910 graduate from the school of architecture at MIT. He studied and traveled extensively in England and in mainland Europe before returning to Massachusetts. He married Frances Evelyn Close in July 1914. She was also a talented artist, according to family members. His uncle, Henry Pearson, was best man at their wedding. In June 1919, Architectural Record magazine ran an 8-page feature about Barnard's design of the French Chateau-style Henry I. Harriman House in Newton, MA, 20 (see Appendix V), which Barnard designed in 1916 at the young age of 28. The house still stands today, now part of the Boston College Law School and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1990. The property is described elsewhere as 'one of Newton's most elegant 2<1h century suburban estate houses.' The glowing Architectural Record feature on the Harriman residence concluded by saying: "Altogether this is a residence of beauty and distinction that will outlive passing fancies in style. It is a home of which the owner will not tire, and an artistic achievement in which the architect will not cease to take a just pride." According to the Wikipedia entry for the Harriman property21, "It was the first major commission for Barnard, a local architect, and its success led to a number of other high-profile commissions." 20 Architectural Record, June 1919.

Gardner residence in Springfield, MA, an impressive work in a Tudor revival style. 22 This property is also on the National Register of Historic Places. The 1925 Portland Cement magazine featured two of Barnard's concrete home designs among a widely varying array of styles, the 'Crowborough' and the 'Gloucester.' The home plans were reproduced in newspaper advertising nationwide as a means of encouraging homebuilders to go to their local suppliers for building materials. 22 https://LostNewEngland.com/JohnBarnard 24 u av. ..,_ A Colonial ~ tiom New Enpnd ""T'!·IERE b D dlnnn Gb:Jui tht °'C..°"' lam,,.,._ d1111 J ~="=~=~ rw,t!"':C ~ No.ldt cinihiucc» b)· 1hr archllm IA lhb c:mnl4'1 plan.

Barnard was the youngest of the siblings. Pearson commissioned Barnard to write a piece on housing for 'India Rubber World' in 1917. (Appendix V). The Wall Street Crash of August 1929 and the Great Depression that followed virtually halted new construction and the profession of architecture with it. (See Appendix V, AIA correspondence). The Great Depression hit hard. Pearson apparently asked his nephew to design a house for him in Palm Springs, thus providing Barnard with employment while benefiting Pearson. 'California Southland' magazine, published from 1918-1929, was a rich resource for designers. Pearson would have been able to send copies to Barnard that would inform him, with its numerous descriptions of the Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style that was so popular in California. Barnard was clearly adept at a range of styles, as demonstrated by available articles: the French Chateau-style Harriman residence, the colonial design for the 'Crowborough' and the Tudor Revival Gardner residence. The opportunity to try his hand at the popular California style of architecture must have been appealing to Barnard. Numerous examples of Spanish Colonial 26 Revival architecture already existed in Palm Springs, with new hotels such as El Mirador and The Oasis from the late 1920s widely reported in magazines -including California Southland. 23 The following extract from a 1938 article in the Boston Globe also explains why Barnard left the east coast for a time to design the Palm Springs house for his uncle and sister Esther: "The depression of 1930 hit young architects of the country a blow from which some of them will never recover. For architecture was one of the first activities to come to a dead standstill at that time. The profession as a whole made a brave fight to help their unemployed. Many of the young men who were draftsmen in the offices took up other callings. Some took up art, some woodcarving and designing and some went to work on farms. They were fine young men -well- educated and disciplined to work. Among those who took up art in this city was John Barnard. He took up watercolor painting for which he was eminently fitted. Nearly all architects have to learn a water color technique. The kind they learn -as far as the method is concerned -is not the kind which is used by artists in the making of pictures, but it is a help."24 A Boston Globe article also mentioned that Barnard was enjoying success in Palm Springs with his watercolors and this was echoed in a 1934 Palm Springs Limelight25 article on Barnard's art. John Edwin Barnard was an AIA member from 1930-35, and from 1936-44. Correspondence between John Edwin Barnard and the AIA from 1935 illustrates the dire straits that Barnard was in, financially. His pleas to the organization to waive his membership fee went unheard, and his membership lapsed during that one year. In one December 1935 letter to the AIA (Appendix V, AIA correspondence), Barnard explains: "Let me frankly state my case; I am what might be termed a small architect specializing in homes. Since the building of these stopped in 1929 my rather meagre savings account dwindled finally to nothing, with the low ebb when loan on my life insurance was necessary. Since that time business has been on the upgrade, but I am still in debt, and naturally feel that the responsibility of providing for my home is paramount." Financial plight aside, Barnard's letterhead shows that he maintained an office at 755 Boylston Street from 1930-1944 (at least), in the heart of downtown Boston, across the river from his alma mater, MIT. His son John Jr. joined Barnard's firm as a draftsman from 1937-1940, rejoining post- wartime service, in 1945. The firm became John Barnard & Son and was quite prolific. Biographical information on John Barnard Sr., quoted below, is drawn from the firm's own marketing presentation material from the early 1960s. The document also lists more than 400 hundred projects, mostly residential, including works by John Barnard Sr. prior to his son joining the firm but doesn't differentiate those that were done by him alone. The projects are nearly all 23 California Southland magazine, December 1928, "An Oasis in Palm Springs -The Oasis." 24 The Boston Globe, Tuesday April 12th, 1938.

Detail from the John Barnard & Son, AJA, client list {1960s): (courtesy Barnard family archive) 28 CRITERIA A summary of the evaluation contained in this nomination is as follows: Criterion 1: Events: The resource is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state or community. The Pearson Residence is not associated with any meaningful events. Therefore, the Pearson Residence does not qualify under Criterion 1. Criterion 2: People: This criterion recognizes properties associated with the lives of persons who made meaningful contributions to national, state, or local history. Henry Pearson contributed to local history with his creation of the deep well in 1921 that resulted in Deep Well Ranch, and in that regard, he is considered one of Palm Springs' pioneers. His role was well- documented at the time as well as long after his death (most recently by Tracy Conrad in the Desert Sun), is examined in this nomination, and referenced in Appendix V. But most important was his meaningful contribution to state and national history. For the state of California, his relationship with the rubber industry and his extolling of the virtues of Los Angeles as a shipping hub resulted in Goodyear and Firestone moving their facilities to the city in the early 1920s, changing the face of national rubber production. For the nation and for the world, his discovery that the commercial cultivation of rubber in certain parts of the world could be practically and economically achieved hastened the availability of rubber tires for the automotive industry at a critical period in that industry's evolution. Both the US Government and Encyclopedia Britannica regarded him as the nation's leading expert for the purposes of educating government, business, and the public. In England, he was made a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. His extensive research, travels, writings, and consultancy spanned decades as well as countries. In 1933, while he was living in the Vista Acres house, the Los Angeles Times listed the 'Notables' who had homes in Palm Springs. Pearson's name was included in a list along with King Gillette, Edward Sears, and W.K. Kellogg. The author asserts that as he was still hailed as a 'world expert' by the Los Angeles Times only six months before his death, this bears witness to his significance. The same paper devoted the first column on their front page to news of his death with a large photograph of Pearson. The Desert Sun obituary also reported his death on its front page, calling him a 'national figure.' Documentary evidence about his reputation and significance before and at his death is attached to this nomination. The author acknowledges the guidance provided in the National Register Bulletin (1990)26 for National Register Criterion B, i.e. that 'Eligible properties generally are those associated with the productive life of the individual in the field in which (s)he achieved significance.' In light of Henry C. Pearson's esteemed reputation until the day he died and even beyond his death, as evidenced by the articles about him in the years immediately preceding his death, the obituaries that hailed him as a national figure at the time of his death, the reprinting of his 26 The National Register Bulletin (1990) "How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation," (pub. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Cultural Resources. Ref. Appendix A, 'Quick Reference List of Guidelines for Applying Criterion B.' 29 books (as recently as 2018), and the continuation of his publication now in its 131st year, the author asserts that Pearson continued to be in the 'productive years' of his life when he commissioned the Cahuilla Drive residence. With regard to 'achieving significance,' the author asserts that once achieved, the significance of Pearson's life was ongoing, from the late 19th century until he died in 1936, still hailed as the 'world expert' in his field. Therefore, the Pearson residence qualifies under Criterion 2. Criterion 3: History. The resource reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state or local history. The City of Palm Springs Historic Inventory and Context Statement includes a description of 'Palm Springs Between the Wars: 1919-1941' "Architecturally, the Spanish and Mediterranean Revival styles were the town's dominant architectural expression during this period." "There is a small number of 1920s and 1930s 'California bungalows' ... and the modest, one-story, bungalow type is seen throughout the early neighborhoods, albeit with varying stylistic details. The California bungalow was a simple, garden-oriented house uniquely suited for the climate and lifestyle of the region. The term bungalow typically refers to a modest, one-or one-and-a-half-story house with an informal floor plan. The Pearson Residence exemplifies a particular period of local history and therefore qualifies under Criterion 3. Criterion 4: Construction. The resource embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction. The Pearson Residence was constructed in 1930 using the methods and materials that were characteristic of the period: wood frame, stucco exterior elevations, handmade red tile roofs, wood post supports and beams for the deep porch, wood- framed casement small-paned windows. This type of construction is still used today, therefore the house does not possess distinctive construction characteristics. Therefore, the Pearson Residence does not qualify under Criterion 4. Criterion 5: High Artistic Value. The resource presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age, or that possesses high artistic value. John Edwin Barnard, AIA, graduated from the MIT School of Architecture in 1910 (one of the oldest and most prestigious architecture schools in the USA). He completed his training at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris in 1911-1912, then traveled throughout Europe. In 1916 he designed one of his most enduring houses, the Henry I. Harriman residence in Springfield, MA, (Harriman later became President of the US Chamber of Commerce), the subject of a laudatory Architectural Record article in 1919. Subsequently he earned renown for other classical and traditional homes. At least two of his early designs are on the National Register, including the Harriman Residence. During the Great Depression, Barnard supplemented his dwindling architecture commissions by selling his watercolors, much praised by the Boston Globe. Barnard's design work spanned several decades but nearly all of it was for residences on the east coast. Th .e 1930 Pearson Residence that he designed for his uncle in Palm Springs is the 30 only west coast example of Barnard's work. The expression of a clear artistic hand demonstrated by the composition of the fa~ades sets the house apart from other simpler Spanish revival homes of the era in Palm Springs. Details were subtle but distinctive and these, combined with the relaxed symmetry of the whole, characterize the dwelling as having a high degree of artistic value. Therefore, the Pearson Residence qualifies under Criterion 5 as having historic significance for its high artistic value. Criterion 6: The resource represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. This Criterion was created to address the resources contained within a potential historic district and as such it does not apply to this nomination. Hence, the residence does not qualify under Criterion 6. Criterion 7: The resource has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to the national, state or local history or prehistory. The Pearson Residence is not likely to yield information important to the national, state or local history or prehistory. Hence, the residence does not qualify under Criterion 7. SUMMARY: This evaluation finds the Pearson Residence eligible for listing as a Palm Springs Historic Site under 8.05.070 (C) (1) paragraphs A2, A3 and A4 of the local ordinance's seven criteria. Additionally, the Pearson Residence retains a good degree of integrity (see "Integrity Analysis"). 31 Integrity Analysis (using U.S. Secretary of Interior Standards) INTEGRITY Integrity is the ability of a property to convey its significance. To be listed in the local registry, a property must not only be shown to be significant under the criteria, but it also must have integrity. The evaluation of integrity is sometimes a subjective judgment, but it must always be grounded in an understanding of a property's physical features and how they relate to its significance. Historic properties either retain integrity (that is, convey their significance) or they do not. The definition of integrity includes seven aspects or qualities. To retain historic integrity a property will always possess several, and usually most, of the aspects. The retention of specific aspects of integrity is paramount for a property to convey its significance. Determining which of these aspects are most important to a particular property requires knowing why, where, and when the property is significant. The following sections define the sev~n aspects and explain how they combine to produce integrity. LOCATION Location is the place where an historic property was constructed or the place where an historic event occurred. The relationship between the property and its location is often important to understanding why the property was created or why something happened. The actual location of a historic property, complemented by its setting, is particularly important in recapturing the sense of historic events and persons. Except in rare cases, the relationship between a property and its historic associations is destroyed if the property is moved. The Pearson Residence remains In Its original location and therefore qualifies under this aspect. DESIGN Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property. It results from conscious decisions made during the original conception and planning of a property and applies to activities as diverse as community planning, engineering, architecture, and landscape architecture. Design includes such elements as organization of space, proportion, scale, technology, ornamentation, and materials. A property's design reflects historic functions and technologies as well as aesthetics. It includes such considerations as the structural system; massing; arrangement of spaces; pattern of fenestration; textures and colors of surface materials; type, amount, and style of ornamental detailing. The Pearson Residence's essential characteristics of form, plan, space, structure, and style have survived intact. Similarly, the structural system; massing; arrangement of spaces; pattern of fenestration; and the type, amount, and style of detailing have survived largely intact. The main house of the Pearson Residence received an addition in the 1960s to the southern elevation, that resulted in the creation of a roof terrace with a low wall that is raised above the original roofline. This is the only aspect that differs from the 1930s elevation. See plan below. 32 : :··. t ........ ':;" ; ~-•:, 0---0 --.- Joi ~ '}'W'-~ Additi on ou tl ined in RED , __ ""' 2 The red outline illustrates areas that have been added: on the right of the center vertical is the area that was the covered patio created in the 1960s. This area was converted to a kitchen in recent years. To the left of the red vertical line 'is the outdoor area that forms access to the roof terrace above the kitchen. The unmarked outlines - i.e. those not marked in red -show the home's original footprint. SETTING Setting is the physical environment of a historic property. Whereas location refers to the specific place where a property was built, or an event occurred, setting refers to the character of the place in which the property played its historical role. It involves how, not just where, the property is situated and its relationship to surrounding features and open space. Setting often reflects the basic physical conditions under which a property was built and the functions it was intended to serve. In addition, the way in which a property is positioned in its environment can reflect the designer's concept of nature and aesthetic preferences. As shown in the vintage photograph of the Pearson residence, the house was positioned to feature the San Jacinto mountains as a backdrop. Visitors to the property then and now can appreciate the way the house is framed by the mountains in the background, while the entry way continues to be framed by the palm trees planted by Pearson. During the 1970s, a previous owner constructed a separate, free-standing guest house property on the northern side of the original house, on the opposite side of the north patio. The setting of the Pearson Residence itself continues to 33 reflect the designer's original intent in its relationship of site and structure, however the setting has been somewhat diminished by the separate 1970s guest house. MATERIALS Materials are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property. The choice and combination of materials reveals the preferences of those who created the property and indicate the availability of particular types of materials and technologies. The Pearson Residence's exterior surface materials: stucco walls, terracotta roof tiles, wood posts, beams, corbels, and multi-pane casement windows have remained Intact and continue to express the physical elements designed during the building's period of significance; the pattern and configuration that forms the residence survive Intact. WORKMANSHIP Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory. It is the evidence of artisans' labor and skill in constructing or altering a building, structure, object, or site. Workmanship can apply to the property as a whole or to its individual components. It can be expressed in vernacular methods of construction and plain finishes or in highly sophisticated configurations and ornamental detailing. It can be based on common traditions or innovative period techniques. Workmanship is important because it can furnish evidence of the technology of a craft, illustrate the aesthetic principles of a historic or prehistoric period, and reveal individual, local, regional, or national applications of both technological practices and aesthetic principles. Examples of workmanship in historic buildings include tooling, carving, painting, graining, turning, and joinery. The workmanship of the Pearson Residence Is of typical construction common to the period with no particularly unique workmanship characteristics. FEELING Feeling is a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. It results from the presence of physical features that, taken together, convey the property's historic character. For example, a rural historic district retaining original design, materials, workmanship, and setting will relate the feeling of agricultural life in the 19th century. The Pearson Residence is sited to enjoy its substantial gardens and the mountain backdrop. The Spanish Colonial Revival single-story bungalow is the epitome of 1930 Palm Springs. The Pearson Residence sits unobtrusively yet charmingly within its setting. Accordingly, the residence retains its original integrity of feeling. 34 ASSOCIATION Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property. A property retains association if it is the place where the event or activity occurred and is sufficiently intact to convey that relationship to an observer. Like feeling, association requires the presence of physical features that convey a property's historic character. For example, a Revolutionary War battlefield whose natural and man-made elements have remained intact since the 18th century will retain its quality of association with the battle. Because feeling and association depend on individual perceptions, their retention alone is never sufficient to support eligibility of a property for the National Register. The Pearson Residence is a good example of a Spanish Colonial Rev/val residence designed for and used by Its owner who continued to be a prominent person of significance until and after he died. Accordlngly1 it continues Its association with a person who made a meaningful contribution to the community1 to the state of Callfornia1 and to the nation. INTEGRITY SUMMARY: The Pearson Residence appears to be in excellent condition partially due to the use of construction materials suitable for the harsh desert environment. It has been subjected to restorations and interior remodels over time, but this work has been mostly to interiors and even where an exterior addition exists, it has been done in sympathy with the existing style and character of the house. This integrity analysis confirms that the building and site of the Pearson Residence still possess all seven aspects of integrity. Aside from the addition of the covered patio In the 1960s that was subsequently converted into a kltchen1 the original footprint of the Pearson Residence remains Intact. In summary, the residence still possesses a good degree of lntegrlty1 sufficient to qualify for designation as a Class 1 Historic Site. SUMMARY: This evaluation finds the Pearson Residence eligible for listing as a Palm Springs Historic Site under 8.05.070 (C) (1) paragraphs A2, A3, A4 of the local ordinance's seven criteria. 35 DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS Red clay barrel-tile roof (not original but replicated to look as original) -Stucco walls and chimney -Chimney stack configuration Fenestration patterns -Wood support beams and corbels for porch Lintel over doorway -Crescent-shape cut-out detail on south wall Inset arched recess on south wall Round air vents above window, north east elevation, bedroom wing -Twin palm trees on either side of the entry pathway NON-CONTRIBUTING FEATURES Roof terrace and stairs -Swimming pool -Guest house Kitchen extension on south elevation Barbecue -Fountain -General landscaping 36 APPENDIX I OWNER'S LETTER OF SUPPORT July 22ndt 2020 City of Palm Springs Historic Site Preservation Board 3200 Tahquitz Canyon \Vay Palm Springs, CA 92262 To the Honorable Historic Site Preservation Board Members Re: Class l Historic Site Nomination As the current owner of the Pearson Residence located at 573 N.

Close-in angled view shows corbels, support beams, chimney configuration, fenestration details, air vents above windows on gabled wing. Longer, angled view affront elevation shows position of palm trees today that mirrors position of original palm trees in historic photo. These ore likely the original trees (they can live from 80 -250 years). Photo shot with a wide angle lens widens the perspective making these trees appear further away from the house than they were. Vintage view shows position of Woshingtonia Fili/era palm trees. Vintage photograph would have been shot with a longer lens from a greater distance thus foreshortening the perspective and making palm trees appear closer to the house than they were.1 1 Source: Jim Riche, BFA Fine Art Photography, RIT North east elevation, bedroom wing, gabled roof. Window, air vents. North elevation above and below shows bedroom wing, ¾ height privacy wall, recessed courtyard entry, rear bedroom wing.

Apparent beams at eaves for dining porch Rear elevation (west). Rear bedroom window. (Note: Planting and narrow path made additional photos of rear difficult to achieve). Rear elevation, rear bedroom. South west elevation shows stairs to roof terrace (not original) South elevation shows how house has been extended beyond original line, and more recent raised stucco wall for roof terrace. Crescent cut-out apparent on right wall, adjacent to barbecue. Crescent cut-out in wall detail, visible in early historic image from the front view. Although hard to see, the arched recess on the wall at the south end of the house is still in place, obscured by planting, the ledge of the recess can be seen here, Planting between den and barbecue obscures the arched recess. Front elevation from the south eastern end. PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN IN 2009 PRIOR TO RENOVATIONS BY PREVIOUS OWNER, KEVIN COMER Roof terrace to left was surrounded by low wood railing. Front door appears to be same or similar to that of early vintage photo. Shutters still in place at windows. North elevation. Hexagonal pavers and square Saltillo tiles were subsequently replaced.

Dear Hr. Kemper;- Street Mass. ! wish to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of December first, and aseure you that I most certainly wish to remain a membor of the A.I.A. Let me frankly state my caeeJ I run what might be termed a small architect specializing in homes. Since the building of these stopped in !929 my rather meagre sa,rings account dwindled finally to nothing, · ·ith the low ebb ,:-Jhen loR.n on my life insurance ·was necessary. Since that time business ha.a been on the upgrade, but I 1.1m still in debt, and natural- ly feel that the responeibili ty of pro,riding for my home is PE\,rrunount. Periodically I run hounded hy my Chapter for ~oney ,µhie h I am not in a position to pay in full. I ha_,re ta.ken ca.re of my indebtedness to the A.I.A. and am now writin~ my o~~ 'Jhapter to see what is the riinimum amount that will satisfy them. Very truly yours John Barnard December 3~ I935 PEARSON RESIDENCE nomination Bibliography, archives and sources: Palm Springs Historical Society California Digital Newspaper Collection: Desert Sun archives Palm Springs Library 'Accessing the Past' AIA Historical Archives Internet Archive US Modernist archives: Architectural Record, California Southland Los Angeles Times Archives Newspapers.com Ancestry .com Palm Springs Limelight Palm Springs Villager magazine LostNewEngland.com Wikipedia "View from the Saddle: Characters Who Crossed My Trail."
