MEMORANDUM DATE January 17, 2020 PROJECT NO. 18052 TO Alyson Hunter, Senior Planner PROJECT Pacific Grove Historic Resources Inventory Update Survey OF City of Pacific Grove Community Development Department 300 Forest Ave, 2nd Floor Pacific Grove, CA 93950 FROM Hannah Simonson, Architectural Historian/ Cultural Resources Planner Page & Turnbull CC Ruth Todd, Principal, Page & Turnbull Christina Dikas, Associate Principal, Page & Turnbull VIA Email REGARDING: 218 Park Street Brief Description 218 Park Street is a Vernacular wood frame building with a “barn-like” flared gable roof, board and batten siding, and an interior brick chimney located at the southwest corner of Park and Short streets. The Pacific Grove HRI Database (accessed June 19, 2018 from the City of Pacific Grove) indicates that the building was originally constructed in 1897; this date is likely based on the fact that the 1897 Sanborn map is the first time the building appears in records. Monterey County Assessor records indicate 1910 as the year built, which may correspond with the year that the building was relocated to the present site. Although currently used a duplex, based on the 1897 Sanborn fire insurance map, the building was originally constructed as a single family residence, then used as a storage shed, then as an automobile garage, before being converted back to a residence (Figure 1- Figure 5). The building was also moved from its original location mid-block between Park Street and Congress Avenue (set back from Short Street) to is current location at the corner of Park and Short Streets sometime between 1905 and 1924. Known Alterations In addition to the building being moved and converted to several different uses, a DPR 523A form prepared by Kent Seavey in 2010 indicates that a new concrete foundation was built in 1969. At an unknown date, the building was reclad with horizontal shiplap wood siding. During a 2011 remodel, the shiplap siding was removed, revealing that the building had originally been clad in wood board and batten siding—typical of early Pacific Grove residential construction. During the remodel, all of the siding was replaced with new board and batten siding (building permit application number AP 11-1201 indicates that the Building Department determined that the original board and batten siding was “beyond repair”). All original wood casement windows were replaced with new divided-lite casement windows. While the number and operation of the new windows corresponds with the , OCR Text: MEMORANDUM DATE January 17, 2020 PROJECT NO. 18052 TO Alyson Hunter, Senior Planner PROJECT Pacific Grove Historic Resources Inventory Update Survey OF City of Pacific Grove Community Development Department 300 Forest Ave, 2nd Floor Pacific Grove, CA 93950 FROM Hannah Simonson, Architectural Historian/ Cultural Resources Planner Page & Turnbull CC Ruth Todd, Principal, Page & Turnbull Christina Dikas, Associate Principal, Page & Turnbull VIA Email REGARDING: 218 Park Street Brief Description 218 Park Street is a Vernacular wood frame building with a “barn-like” flared gable roof, board and batten siding, and an interior brick chimney located at the southwest corner of Park and Short streets.
