Thiz lieritage @oei¢tg of Paeifie Grove P.O. Box 1007 • Pacific Grove • California • 93950 • • www.pacificgroveheritage. org April 24, 2012 Nancy and Stephen Thompson 111 Sinex Avenue Pacific Grove, California 93950 Dear Nancy and Stephen: This is in response to your January 19, 2012 Historical Plague Request for 701 Congress Avenue. Your request was researched by the Pacific Grove Heritage Society's Research Team. A recommendation was subsequently submitted to the Heritage Society's Board of Directors and your request was approved. Tax and assessor records indicate that the property was first assessed in 1909. The earliest footprint of you home available to us was on the 1914 Sanborn Map. We were able however to confirm the construction date to be 1909, based on information provided on the 1928 Building Classification and Computation Record report. The original owner of record was Mrs. M.J. Carmack. There were several building permits issued over the years and in 2009 the City determined that there was an unsafe partially built structure on the rear ofthe lot. Regardless, the Heritage Society Board felt that the additions and changes made to the house enhanced the home and it was felt that the historical integrity ofthe original structure had been retained. You will be contacted by the Heritage Society when the plague is completed. You can pick the plague up at the Heritage Society Barn located at 605 Laurel Ave. in Pacific Grove. Completion ofthe plague can take three to six months depending on the backlog of requests. Thank you for your interest in the Pacific Grove Heritage Society. I have included a P.G, Historical Society brochure for your review. If you are not a member, please consider joining us. The annual membership fees are on page 4 ofthe enclosed. If you have any further questions please contact our representatives at: , Respectfully, Jim Hogan, Heritage Society Research Team. The Heritage Society of Pacific Grove, a 501(c)(3) organization, was incorporated July 1976 as a Cab fornia Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation. , OCR Text: Thiz lieritage @oei¢tg of Paeifie Grove P.O.
