FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Department of Planning Services
SUMMARY
The Bel Vista Residence is a single-family residence in the Bel Vista Subdivision,
designed by architect Albert Frey and originally owned by Culver Nichols and Sallie
Stevens Nichols. The residence is part of an early post-war subdivision that was one of
the first to feature affordable homes utilizing a modernist architectural style, and is one
of the few remaining homes in th subdivision that remains largely intact. The residence
qualifies for Class 1 designation as it meets three of the criteria for consideration. The
application has been prepared and submitted by the owner of the residence.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Open the public hearing and receive testimony.
2. Close the public hearing and adopted Resolution No. , "A RESOLUTION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA,
DESIGNATING THE RESIDENCE AT 1164 NORTH CALLE ROLPH (APN #507-
124-012), `THE BEL VISTA RESIDENCE," A CLASS 1 HISTORIC SITE, HSPB
#100 (ZONE R-1-C).
BACKGROUND AND SETTING:
The single-family residence at 1164 N. Calle Rolph is one of 15 homes within the Bel
Vista Subdivision, which was developed in 1946 by the development team of Albert
Frey, Culver Nichols and Sallie Stevens Nichols. Culver Nichols and Sallie Stevens
Nichols were the original owners of the home between 1946 and 1954.
Frey designed the residences for the subdivision utilizing a single floor plan that was
then rotated or reversed so as to provide variety to the streetscape. The affordable
residences were designed utilizing a simple, modernist vocabulary, and served as a
precursor to the Meiselman and Alexander subdivisions that would be developed later. (1�

The residence remains largely intact, with very few modifications to the interior or
exterior. The owner has utilized the original paint colors on the interior and exterior, and
has either refurbished or replicated the original fixtures and materials to the greatest
extent possible. The only addition to the structure is the conversion of a porch to a
second bathroom off of the front bedroom; however, the addition was restricted to the
footprint of the original porch, and did not require any changes to the roof or fascia. Of
particular note is that the residence is one of only two homes in the subdivision that still
retains the original character as designed by Frey.

ANALYSIS
Historic Preservation activities in Palm Springs are regulated under Municipal Code
Section 8.05 ("Historic Preservation'). The purpose of the Historic Preservation
Ordinance is:
., for the purpose of preserving areas and specific buildings of the city
which reflect elements of its cultural, social, economic, political,
architectural and archaeological history. This chapter is intended 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 specific buildings for the education and welfare of the citizens."
Designation of Historic Sites
Only the City Council is authorized to designate historic sites. When the Historic Site
Preservation Board determines that Class 1 historic designation of a certain site or
district would further the purpose of the Historic Preservation Ordinance, the Board may
initiate studies, surveys and investigations it deems necessary to adequately gather
information in consideration of such a recommendation to the City Council.
Conditions that apply to Class 1 Historic Sites
According to Section 8.05 of the Municipal Code, the following shall apply to a Class 1
Historic Site:
02
City Council Staff Report
May 18, 2016 -- Page 3
HSPB 100— 1164 N. Calle Rolph
1. It shall meet the definition of a historic site as outlined in Municipal Code Section
8.05.020.
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. The structure/site may not be modified nor objects removed without the approval
of the City Council.
5. The use may be limited by the City Council to the extent that it may impair the
integrity of the site.
6. A marker explaining the historic nature of the site will be installed at the site in a
location viewable from the public way.
7. Compliance with all rules and regulations for Historic Sites and Historic Districts
under Article IV of Chapter 8.05 of the Municipal Code shall be required.
Definition of an Historic Site
Section 8.05.020 of the Municipal Code provides the definition of a historic site; the
nomination report provides an evaluation of the subject property in accordance with this
definition. The following analysis identifies conformance to the criteria for consideration
for Class 1 designation:
(a) Historic Site.
An historic site is any real property such as: a building; a structure, including but not
limited to archways, tiled areas and similar architectural elements, an archaeological
excavation or object that is unique or significant because of its location, design,
setting, materials, workmanship or aesthetic effect and:
1. That is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the
nation, state or community; or
The subject property does not meet this criterion.
2. That is associated with lives of persons who made meaningful contribution to
national, state or local history; or
The nomination report indicates that the first owners of the residence were Sallie
Stevens and Culver Nichols, who were also part of the team responsible for the
development of the Bel Vista subdivision. Sallie Stevens was the daughter of
Prescott Stevens, an early community founder and developer; Culver was one of
the original members of the committee formed in 1936 to study the incorporation
of Palm Springs, and later served as the first president of the Palm Springs
Chamber of Commerce. Both Sallie and Culver were influential in real estate
development in the community, and later donated the land for the Valley Station
and parking lots for the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.
03
City Council Staff Report
May 18, 2016 -- Page 4
HSPB 100— 1164 N. Cate Rolph
3. That reflects or exemplifies a particular period of the national, state or local
history; or
The report states that the residence (and the Bel Vista Subdivision) holds a
significant place in post-war development in Palm Springs, in that it is the first
modern-style subdivision to be developed. The simple, horizontal lines of the
residences in the subdivision served as a precursor to the later Meiselman and
Alexander developments of the 1950's.
4. That embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of
construction;
While the report does not suggest that the residence embodies the
characteristics of a particular period or method of construction, it might be argued
that the simple modern form and wood frame and stucco construction
established a precedent for later developments in Palm Springs, as well as
providing a model for affordable housing alternatives.
5. That presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose
individual genius influenced his age; or that possesses high artistic value;
The residence was designed by Albert Frey, whose body of work has been
recognized both locally and nationally. His 1934 design for the Kocher-Samson
Building represents the first international-style structure constructed in Palm
Springs. Other local notable works include the following:
• Frey House I — 1940
• Frey House II — 1963
• Loewy House — 1946
• Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Valley Station — 1949-1963
• Palm Springs City Hall — 1952
• North Shore Beach and Yacht Club — 1958
• Tramway Gas Station - 1961
6. That represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may
lack individual distinction;
The subject property does not meet this criterion.
7. That has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to national, state
or local history or prehistory.
The subject property does not meet this criterion.

HSPB 100— 1164 N. Calle Rolph
The physical character-defining historic features of this site include the following:
1. The residence structure with the following features and finishes:
• The flat roof and horizontal fascia detail;
• The plaster exterior finishes;
• The wood casement windows; and
• Any original remaining exterior doors.
2. The curved masonry wall adjacent to the laundry room at the rear of the
residence.
The non-contributing features include the following:
1. The site landscaping and hardscape;
2. The garage door/carport enclosure on the west fagade of the residence;
3. The swimming pool and pool equipment enclosure.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
In considering a recommendation for Class 1 historic designation, pursuant to PSMC
Section 8.05.160, the City Council shall find that the purposes of the Historic
Preservation chapter are furthered by designation of such property as a historic site or
district. The purpose of the Historic Preservation chapter of the Municipal Code is
outlined in PSMC 8.05.010:
This chapter is adopted pursuant to the authority of (California)
Government Code Section 37361 for the purpose of preserving areas and
specific buildings of the city which reflect elements of its cultural, social,
economic, political, architectural and archaeological history. This chapter
is intended 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 specific buildings for the education and welfare
of the citizens.
Class 1 designation of the Bel Vista Residence would further the purpose of the historic
preservation ordinance because it reflects elements of the City's architectural, social,
and cultural history as follows:
Criterion 2: That is associated with lives of persons who made meaningful
contribution to national, state or local history,-
Criterion 3: That reflects or exemplifies a particular period of the national, state or
local history;
05

HSPB 100— 1164 N. Calle Rolph
Criterion 5: That presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect
whose individual genius influenced his age; or that possesses high artistic value.
Based on these findings, the residence qualifies for Class 1 designation pursuant to the
criteria listed in PSMC Chapter 8.05.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The proposed historic site designation is not subject to the California 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 property
owners within five hundred (500) feet of the subject property have been notified and
notice was made in a newspaper of general circulation. As of the writing of this report,

Executive Summary
Significance —The Bel Vista Residence located at 1164 N. Calle Rolph was designed in
1945 by master architect Albert Frey. One of only two remaining near-intact homes of the
original 15 homes built in the Bel Vista subdivision, the structure was erected in 1946 on land
owned by Sallie Stevens and Culver Nichols. The Nichols, along with Frey, also served as the
developers and builders of the subdivision. Additionally, Sallie Stevens and Culver Nichols
owned this particular property up until 1954.
As an important and largely intact example of an early modern structure, along with its
standing as being a part of Palm Springs' earliest modern-style subdivisions, the private
residence exhibits numerous stylistic markers that place it within the historic context of Palm
Springs' Post-WWII, early-modern period.
Importantly, the home and subdivision represent one of the earliest examples of affordable
housing built in Palm Springs and the only built housing tract designed by Albert Frey.
Designation Criteria and Research -The Bel Vista Residence has not previously been
evaluated for Class 1 Historic Site eligibility. The residence was featured in the April 1951 issue
of Architect and Engineer magazine, in a September 1959 issue of Daily Enterprise newspaper
featuring an interview with Albert Frey, it appears in Joseph Rosa's 1990 book, Albert Frey,
Architect, is featured in the Fall 2014 issue of Atomic Ranch magazine and is featured in the
draft of the City of Palm Springs 2015 Citywide Historic Context Statement.
A brief summary of the evaluation and how the property meets the definitions of a historic site:
8.05.020 (a) paragraph 2, associated with persons who made meaningful contribution: Sallie
Stevens and Culver Nichols, two of Palm most important early developers, developed the
home and subdivision.
8.05.020 (a) paragraph 3, exemplifies a particular period: The Bel Vista Residence is eligible
as a Historic Site under the theme of early Modern architecture because it possesses
numerous unique and significant characteristics and attributes. The home exemplifies the
description as defined in the 2004 City of Palm Springs Historic Resources Survey,
"Emphasizing geometric forms and textures, strong linear qualities, spare ornamentation,
outdoor living, and usually of a single story, the homes of this era are readily identifiable. From
the 1940s through the 1960s, the residential architecture in the modernist idiom flourished and
became integral to the character now strongly identified with Palm Springs."
8.05.020 (a) paragraph 5, presents the work of a master architect: As the work of architect
Albert Frey, it must be considered the work of a "master" architect because of his record of
architectural excellence. With its boxlike shape, plain fagade and easy access between indoor
and outdoor, the home is reflective of an "International Style" modernism created by Le
Corbusier, Frey's early mentor.
The Bel Vista Residence retains nearly all of its original architectural integrity.
SUMMARY: This evaluation finds the Bel Vista Residence eligible for listing as a Palm Springs
Historic Site under 8.05.020 (a) paragraphs 2, 3 & 5 of the local ordinance's seven criteria.

Historic Context
The Early Modern Period (roughly 1925 to 1960) in Palm Springs is considered to have
begun with construction of the area's first "modern"structure, Rudolph M. Schindler's Paul
and Betty Popenoe Cabin in 1922 (demolished)followed closely in 1925 by the Oasis Hotel
designed by Lloyd Wright (mostly demolished), The Ship of the Desert in 1936 by Millard
Sheets, the Kocher-Samson building in 1934 by A. Lawrence Kocher and Albert Frey —
Frey's first building in Palm Springs, Richard Neutra's Grace Lewis Miller House in 1937 and
the John Porter Clark House in 1939.
Prior to this period, there was a wide range of architectural styles throughout the residential
neighborhoods of Palm Springs—from adobe and Mexican hacienda to ranch, craftsman and
Prairie Style. Thus, Palm Springs had proven itself as fertile ground for innovative residential
architecture...yet only in the form of unique, one-of-a-kind single family homes. Such would
not be the case for too much longer.
It was following WWII that Palm Springs' economy began to prosper through tourism —
driven in part by the elite of Hollywood. Hollywood celebrities discovered the desert oasis and
patronized its hotels, nightclubs and restaurants. Celebrity-seeking tourists soon followed,
transforming Palm Springs from a sleepy village into a more cosmopolitan environment that
saw the construction of schools, hospitals, an airport and other important public projects.
23
12
Palm Springs also became an economical destination for the many service men and women
returning from the war. It was during the war that Albert Frey designed Bel Vista — what
would become the first modern-style subdivisions built in the City of Palm Springs, and the
City's first affordable housing tract.
Not built until after the war, due largely to cost issues, construction of Bel Vista began with
financial assistance from the Home Owners Loan Corporation. Built of standard wood frame
construction with wood lath and stucco, Bel Vista was originally designed as war workers'
housing. Since the government subsidized its construction, it had to follow specific design
guidelines. Fifteen one-family units were constructed with one typical plan. Rotating and
flipping the plan on each lot, thereby allowing various sides to face the street, achieved a
variation in their appearance. In addition, each house was given individual identity by using
different setbacks. A unique aspect of the plan is that each house has many entrances,
through both private and communal spaces. The Bel Vista plan is almost identical to one of
Frey's Farmhouse designs for the United States Department of Agriculture of 1934; that
project, like Bel Vista, sought to provide economical housing.
(source: Joseph Rosa, "Albert Frey, Architect.")
So was born the first modern, affordable housing tract in Palm Springs.
Statement of Significance
Criterion 2: (associated with lives of persons who made meaningful contribution to national,
state or local history.)
The Calle Rolph Residence was designed by architect Albert Frey and erected by a
developer/builder team of Frey and Sallie Stevens and Culver Nichols.
First Owners and Builders: Sallie Stevens and Culver Nichols
The first owners of 1164 N Calle Rolph were Sallie Stevens (1908-1982) and Culver Nichols
(1905-1995) — two of Palm Springs' most prominent and influential real estate owners and
developers. Culver Nichols, one of the original members of the committee formed in 1936 to
study the incorporation of Palm Springs, was the first President of the Palm Springs Chamber
of Commerce in 1940. Sallie Stevens Nichols is the daughter of Prescott T. Stevens — one of
the early founders and real estate developers of Palm Springs.
John Porter Clark is credited with introducing Frey to the Nichols'. After graduating from
Cornell, Clark returned to Pasadena where he apprenticed with Garrett Van Pelt, in the
architectural firm of Van Pelt and Lind. While working in Pasadena, Clark met Sallie and
Culver Nichols, a Pasadena Realtor, who encouraged him to relocate to Palm Springs. It was
this introduction to the Nichols', and their subsequent introduction to Albert Frey, that would
not only lead to Frey's work on the Bel Vista project but eventually his work on the Palm
Springs Aerial Tramway Valley Station which still stands today at the entrance to Palm
Springs.

Primary records show the chain of ownership for 1164 North Calls Rolph as follows:
Date Owner(s)
January 11, 1945 Sallie Stevens and Culver Nichols
June 25, 1954 Herbert Garnets
September 10, 1954 Herbert Garnets and Kate Garnets (his mother)

October 2, 1962 Mary A. (Tweedy) and Robert E. Herndon
July 22, 1971 Suzanne and Gary Plaza
October 31, 2012 Todd A. Hays
The residence qualifies for listing as a Class f Historic Site on the local registry under
Criterion 2.
Criterion 3: (reflects or exemplifies a particular period of the national, state or local history).
The stylistic markers of the residence place it directly in the historic context of Palm Springs'
Early Modern Period and pay homage to Frey's intimate knowledge and understanding of the
international style. The private residence represents a prime and intact example of the post-
25
14
WWII early modernist architecture. As such, the residence may be viewed as an important
component of the historic trends that have come to define Palm Springs' image as a center of
important midcentury architecture, i.e., an historic trend that exemplifies a particular period of
the national, state or local history. The Calle Rolph Residence is eligible under the theme of
Modern architecture because it possesses distinctive characteristics that make up the many
qualities of the early roots of the style, such as overall horizontality, a flat roof, inexpensive
mass-produced materials and an architectural design that strives to blur the line between the
indoors and outdoors.
While modest in scale and simple in appearance, 1164 N. Calle Rolph holds a significant
place in the post-war, early-modern history of Palm Springs. Designed in 1945 by master
architect Albert Frey in a modern International Style, it was erected by the developer team of
Frey and Sallie Stevens and Culver Nichols as a part of the larger 15-home Bel Vista tract.
The project was financed through the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC), a
government-sponsored corporation established in 1933 under President Franklin D.
Roosevelt as part of the New Deal.
Bel Vista represents the first modern-style subdivision built in the City of Palm Springs. Built
following years of Spanish-style tracts, including Palm Canyon Mesa in 1924, Las Palmas
Estates and Merito Vista in 1926 and Palm Springs Estates in 1927 (built by Sallie Stevens'
father, Prescott T. Stevens), Bel Vista was completed more than ten years before Jack
Meiselman would build his earliest modern-style tracts in 1956: Karlisa Cove and Palm Lane.
The residence qualifies for listing as a Class 1 Historic Site on the local registry under
Criterion 3.
Criterion 5: (represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values).
The architect Albert Frey qualifies individually as "master architect," having been identified
as such in several previous city designations.
Architect: Albert Frey
Albert Frey (October 18, 1903, Zurich, Switzerland, to November 14, 1998. Palm Springs, CA)
received his architecture diploma in 1924 from the Institute of Technology in Winterthur, Switzerland,
having received instruction in the then popular Beaux-Arts style. From 1924 through 1928, Frey
worked on various architectural projects in Belgium. In 1928, Frey secured a position in the Paris
atelier of the noted International Style architect Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. During his period of
working for Le Corbusier, Frey worked on the Villa Savoye project and other significant projects. In
1928, Frey left the atelier to take up work in the United States, yet maintained a friendship with Le
Corbusier for many years.
Frey, the first architect in America to have worked directly with Le Corbusier, soon began working with
the American architect A. Lawrence Kocher—who was also the managing editor of Architectural
Record. Their collaboration would last until 1938.The pair contributed significantly to the American
modernist movement through their work and numerous articles published in Architectural Record on
urban planning, the modernist aesthetic, and technology — one collaboration was the 1931 Aluminaire
House, designed for an exhibition, and later sold to New York architect Wallace K. Harrison. Harrison
used it as a guesthouse on his Long Island property for years. Another of their commissions was an
office/apartment dual-use building for Kocher's brother, Dr. J. J. Kocher of Palm Springs—this project
introduced Frey to the California desert, which was to become his home and the backdrop for most of
his subsequent work. From 1935 to 1937 Frey worked with John Porter Clark (1905-1991), under the
Pasadena, CA firm of Van Pelt and Lind Architects as both were yet unlicensed in California. April
1937 saw Frey briefly return to the east coast to work on the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
26
15
While in New York Frey married Marion Cook, a writer he had met in Palm Springs. Upon completion
of his work on the Museum of Modern Art in 1939, he and Marion returned to the Palm Springs where
Frey resumed his collaboration with Clark, which was to continue for nearly twenty more years.
At the end of World War II, Palm Springs'population almost tripled and the city experienced a building
boom. Known as an escape for the Hollywood elite and a winter haven for east coast industrialists,
Palm Springs emerged post-war as a resort community for a broader segment of the American
populace with more leisure time than any previous generation. Veterans and their families also
migrated to the desert after the war, which resulted in a building boom for Palm Springs. Clark and
Frey received several commissions from the returning soldiers for homes and small businesses during
this time. Frey and Clark were well positioned to capitalize on this, and both the city and their firm
benefited from an unprecedented period of construction. Significant buildings by Frey include:
-Aluminaire House, 1930
- Kocher-Samson Building, 1934
- Frey House I, 1940 and Frey House ll, 1963
- Loewy House, built for industrial designer Raymond Loewy, 1946
- Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Valley Station, 1949-1963
- Palm Springs City Hall, 1952
- North Shore Beach and Yacht Club at North Shore, Salton Sea, 1956
-Tramway Gas Station, 1961
source: Wikipedia
As the work of a Master, and for its high artistic values, the residence qualifies for listing as a
Class 1 Historic Site on the local registry under Criterion 5.

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 seven 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 Calle Rolph 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 Calle Rolph
Residence's essential characteristics of form, plan, space, structure, and style have
survived almost entirely intact.
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, architecture 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. The
setting of the Calle Rolph Residence continues to reflect the architect's original design
relationship of site and structure.
Materials
Materials are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period
28
17
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 Calle Rolph
Residence's exterior surface materials have been painted to match the original colors,
and the exterior doors and windows are all to original specifications.
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. The Calle Rolph
Residence continues to express a high degree of early modern period workmanship.
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.
When constructed, the Calle Rolph Residence was part of a planned early modernist
tract development and sited to take advantage of panoramic, mountain views to the
west. Accordingly, the Calle Rolph Residence retains its original integrity of feeling.
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 Calle Rolph
Residence is an important example of a post-WWII early modernist private residence
built under the direction of the U.S, government. It continues its association with a
pattern of events that have made a meaningful contribution to the community.
INTEGRITY SUMMARY: The Calle Rolph Residence is in excellent condition due to a recent
comprehensive restoration.
