HISTORICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE DANIEL McCONNELL/HERBERT R. BATHRICK HOUSE

4380HILLDALE ROAD SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA 92//6

I. INTRODUCTION

This historical assessment was prepared for Dr. Temple and Mr. Troy Zander in order. to determine the potential historical and architectural significance of the two-story, single-family residence, known as the "McConneli/Bathrick House," located at 4380 Hilldale Road in the San Diego community of Kensington, California. The building is located on the easterly 2.5 feet of Lot 242 and all of Lot 243, according to Map 1912, Assessors Parcel Number 465-044-11. The property is located in the subdivision of Kensington Heights Unit Number 2. The property is currently owned by the Zander Family Trust.

Historical research indicates that the McConneii/Bathrick House was designed and built in a Spanish Eclectic architectural style in 1927 for original owners Daniel McConnell and H.R. (Herbert R.) Bathrick, likely as a "speculative" or "spec" house. While the identity of the architect responsible for the design of the residence could not be ascertained, historical research indicates that Herbert R. Bathrick, an important contractor, served as the builder. Although it could not be substantiated, Bathrick may have also served as the architect. Over the course of its existence, the McConneli!Bathrick House was both tenant and owner occupied.

Historical research indicates that the McConneli!Bathrick House is both historically and architecturally significant. Based upon the historic record, the McConneii/Bathrick House exemplifies and reflects Kensington's historical and architectural development. Newspaper articles of the period specifically depict and discuss the McConneli/Bathrick House as the proto-typical type of single-family residence which was constructed during the late 1920s in the Kensington Heights subdivision. These articles cite the McConneli!Bathrick House and its Spanish Eclectic (Southern California) style as representing the precise "type of development" indicative of new homes built in the community. In addition, the residence was singled out as exemplifying and reflecting the "style and character" of homes, particularly the two-storied type, being erected in the early Kensington Heights subdivision. Based upon the ideal and fully-realized expression of the Spanish Eclectic type, style, and character of the property, the McConneii/Bathrick House unequivocally exemplifies and reflects elements of Kensington Heights' and the Kensington community's historical and architectural development.

The McConneii/Bathrick House is also architecturally significant for its design and relationship with builder, H.R. Bathrick. The residence embodies the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, and method of Spanish Eclectic construction. Such architectural features present in the structure include, but are not limited to, its side­gabled and shed, low-pitched roof with no eave overhang; red, Mission tile and decorative

roof vents; stucco chimney; stucco exterior; asymmetrical, almost "L"-shaped facades; heavy, carved, impressive wooden door with thick, molded entablature; main focal window along the north elevation; multi-paned, casement windows, some with wrought iron grilles; three balconies supported by thick wood beams and wood or iron balustrades; small turret along the north elevation; patio areas, with fountain, tile flooring, and garden area, along the south elevation. The building is an excellent example of this style. In addition, historical research indicates that Bathrick is a notable master builder who designed and built Spanish Eclectic styled homes in the San Diego area during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Consequently, as the McConneii/Bathrick House was designed in a Spanish Eclectic architectural style during the period in which Bathrick built homes in the San Diego area, the residence represents a notable example of his work.

The McConneli/Bathrick House has been determined by the present historical assessment to be both historically and architecturally significant. The resource is eligible for listing on the San Diego Historical Resources Board Register under Criteria A (Community Development); Criteria C (Architecture), and Criteria D (Master Builder).

II. PROPERTY HISTORY

Background O(The Kensington Area1

The McConneii/Bathrick House is located within San Diego's Kensington community. The history of Kensington is directly attributed to G. Aubrey Davidson. In 1909, a group of men led by Davidson met to discuss a profitable real estate venture. Davidson had founded a large area of undeveloped land, which would become Kensington, in the northeastern part ()f San Diego and considered developing it. The area was surrounded on three sides by a valley and two canyons. It was inland enough to escape fog and dampness, yet close enough to the water to benefit from cool breezes. This area was originally known as Rancho de Ia Mission San Diego Alcala until 1834 when the Secularization Act passed. At this time, all religious lands were taken away from the Missions and Catholic Church by the Mexican government. The Mission San Diego Alcala land was granted to Santiago Arguello by the Mexican governor at the time. Arguello and his heirs owned the property until 1885. In 1909, the land was purchased by George Burnham. At the time, Burnham was Vice President of the Southern Trust and Commerce Bank of which Davidson was President. In 1910, the Kensington Park Land Company purchased 157 acres ofland within Kensington.

The first subdivision which the Kensington Park Land Company planned was named "Kensington Park," after England's Kensington. Kensington Park originally consisted of 15 blocks covering 66 acres, centered around a small park. The subdivision maintained high standards and restrictions. The formal opening of Kensington Park occurred on November 25, 1910 and soon thereafter, the first of 17 houses were erected, all

close to the central park. With the start of the First World War, home construction came to a standstill, slowing significantly in Kensington as the city refused to issue water meters to the area. During the 1920s, building once again flourished despite the water meter issue and Kensington continued to expand rapidly.

By 1924, builders were looking for more land and on February 13, 1924, the Kensington Park Annex was opened by the Kensington Park Land Company. According to Dr. Thomas H. Baumann, this area rapidly developed attractive homes.' As prosperity continued, more space was needed, and on June 2, 1925, Kensington Park Extension was opened. It built up so rapidly that on June 18, 1926, the Kensington Park Land Company opened. Kensington Villa and later on August 13, 1925, Kensington Manor. This area, just north of Kensington Park, was reserved for large, expensive homes. At the time, the Kensington area was considered extremely successful and was well-developed.

On January 4, 1926, the subdivision of Kensington Heights was opened (Kensington HeightsUnit No. 1). It was developed by the Davis-Baker Real Estate Company of Pasadena. The company was better known as the Kensington Heights Company. George Forbes, an active realtor in the area, served as the president. The first unit was located north of Kensington Manor's second unit, with Hilldale Road marking the dividing line between them.3

On May 24, 1926, the second unit of Kensington Heights was opened (Kensington Heights Unit No. 2). The McConnell!Bathrick House is today located in this subdivision, which as a whole, is located just northeast of Kensington Heights Unit No. I. Although both units had minimum building costs of $5,000 each and a minimum requirement of 1,500 square feet per dwelling, all the homes constructed exceeded the deed minimums. Lot prices ranged from $900 to $4,000.<

At the time, the Davis-Baker Real Estate Company also formed an architectural committee to ensure that the designs of all the homes in Kensington Heights met the high standards of this exclusive development. One member of the committee was noted architect Richard Requa, a local architect respected for his design of Ojai and Rancho Santa Fe. Mindful of the unique feeling of opulence which one feels when touring Pasadena's more affluent neighborhoods, the Davis-Baker Real Estate Company recognized that the class of buyer that they sought would be influenced by elements of location, architecture, and landscape. As a result, the Company advertised that unlike other developments that were spectacular or elaborate, the houses in Kensington Heights were listed as luxurious homes of refinement (see Property History section below). Richard Requa's theme of the ideal California dwelling became his "Southern California Style" of architecture, influenced by his trips to Spain. 5 This ideal became incorporated into the set design styles of the new Kensington Heights development.

During the mid-1920s, other subdivisions in Kensington began to take shape, such as Kensington Villa (June 18, 1926), Kensington Heights, Unit No. 3 (September 28, 1926), Kensington Villa Annex (November 3, 1926), and Kensington Point (March 5, 1927). However, building in Kensington ceased when the Great Depression hit the area hard in 1929. Property values in Kensington plummeted as the homes in the area were larger and more difficult to sell. Although times were bad, Kensington was not as financially depressed as other areas of San Diego. By 1936, building resumed, albeit on a much more limited scale.

Due to increased concern about fire safety, amplified by a series of serious canyon fires, the residents of Kensington began to push for annexation during the mid-1930s. On August 14, 1936, all three units of Kensington Heights became part of the City. On September 4, 1936, Kensington Manor One and Two followed and soon Kensington Point was annexed as well. East Kensington became part of the City on October 23, 1936. By the end of the year, all of Kensington except Kensington Park had become annexed to the City.

In 1939, prosperity returned to the United States and Kensington, as the war machine came to San Diego. Homes in the Kensington area were selling at extremely high prices and many of the owners were malting huge profits in real estate. In 1946, new homes were once again being built in the area. These new homes were larger than the developers had hoped and building continued in this fashion until the 1950s.

In 1953, the annexation debate regarding Kensington Park was renewed when both anti and pro-annexation groups formed and debated possible annexation. Eventually, a fire which completely burned down a House, convinced people to vote in favor. On October 23, 1953, Kensington Park was annexed to the City. In all, Kensington annexed 305 acres to the. City of San Diego. The last subdivision built in Kensington was the Kensington Park Villas located at the junction of Camino del Rio South and Fairmount Avenue. In 1976, Harold LeFleur and Henry Maxwell acquired a permit to build upon 34 areas in this area.

The first schools to open in Kensington were John Adams Elementary School and Euclid Elementary School. The first opened in 1909 under the name Normal Heights Elementary School. The later was a two-room elementary school which opened around 1909. Over the years, more private and public elementary schools opened in the area as demand increased. In 1928, construction began on Herbert Hoover Senior High School. Although there are a number of schools in the area, the most prominent of which, located in the neighboring College Area community, is San Diego State University (SDSU) formerly the Normal School (1897) and San Diego State College (1935).

The first church in Kensington was built in 1929. William Riley, part of the Logan Heights Men's Club, began making financial commitments toward building a church and finding a minister in the area. Riley served as the architect and pastor once financial backing was insured. In May, 1929, John Frederick Sanders became pastor of the Kensington Community Church, today commonly referred to as the "Little White

4

Church." In 1961, the Kensington Community Church became part of the United Church of Christ. The structure is still in existence today, despite some alteration and modification.

As early as 1910, Kensington had streetcar tracks which connected the little community to the rest of San Diego. The tracks ran along Adams Avenue and ended at the corner of Marlborough Drive. By 1937, the tracks had been extended and went as far as 42"" Street. Several years later in 1949, however, the streetcars were dismantled and tracks were being paved over to make roads for the automobile. Today, city buses run a very similar route to that of the former streetcars.

The McConneii/Bathrick House is located on the west side of the 4300 block of Hilldale Road in San Diego's Kensington community. The residence is located on the easterly 2.5 feet of Lot 242 and all of Lot 243, according to Map 1912, within Kensington Heights Unit Number 2, Assessors Parcel Number 465-044-11.6 The property is located at or near the southwest corner of Hill dale Road and Middlesex Drive.

Historical research indicates that the property on which the 4380 Hilldale Road residence is today located, was acquired by Daniel McConnell from the Union Trust Company of San Diego in September, 1927.7 Three months later McConnell deeded his interest in the property to H.R. Bathrick. The historic record confirms that the 4380 Hilldale Road residence was built for Daniel McConnell in 1927. This date of construction is supported by the Residential Building Record.' Interestingly, a Notice of Completion filed on the property by McConnell indicates that in August, 1927, he entered into a contract with Bathrick for the construction of "one 8-room stucco house." The structure was completed in October, 1927.9 Previous historical studies have identified "H.R. Bathrick" as Herbert R. Bathrick, a principal with the Pasadena-based building firm of the Bathrick Brothers. Bathrick and his firm are known to have built and developed a number of important Spanish Eclectic single-family residences in the Lorna Portal community of San Diego during the early 1930s.10

See Appendix C. 9 Notice of Completion, Miscellaneous Records 84/350, October 26, 1927. 10 Archaeos, San Diego International Airport-Lindbergh Field, Quieter Home Program, Phase 1 C Historic Resources Report For The Loma Portal And Uptown Neighborhoods, June 2002. Note that homes within the Lorna Portal community attributed to Bathrick include those located at 3244 Dumas, 3129 and 3211 Freeman, and 3211 and 3221 Ibsen. These homes were determined to be significant, in part, due to their association with Bathrick as an important builder within the development of the community.

While City of San Diego water and sewer records for the McConnell!Bathrick House could not be located, San Diego Union newspaper articles of the period, depict the development of the surrounding Kensington community and, specifically, construction of the residence. According to a November, 1927 article, the Davis-Baker Company actively promoted the "new Residential District successfully Established in Kensington Heights." With $300,000 spent in improvements and over 31 "beautiful" homes completed, the Company cited that lot owners had spent "a quarter of a million [dollars] in building homes." With prominent San Diegeans cited as members of the new Kensington Heights community, the Company touted such benefits as expert architectural and engineering supervision, building restrictions, atmosphere, location, public utilities, and lots which ranged from "a little over $1,000 to most exclusive at $5,000."11 Depicted prominently in the Company's advertisement were two photographs of the McConnell/Bathricl{ House showing the building's east and north elevations. Captions for these "Pictures of Kensington Heights" featured the McConnell/Bathrick House in a "street scene showing the type of development" indicative of the community. The individual picture of the residence showed "the style and character going into Kensington Heights homes."12

Other period San Diego Union newspaper articles depict the McConnell!Bathrick House and its importance to the early Kensington community. A January 22, 1928 article entitled "Two-Story Home, Greeted As Prosperity Sign For City, Popular In Heights Tract," included a photograph of the residence with the caption, "Beautiful new homes in the southern California type of architecture are going up in Kensington Heights at the rate of more than $1,000 worth of construction a day. The photograph [of the McConnell!Bathrick House] shows a construction scene and one of the new two-story southern California-type homes recently added to the tract." According to the article, Harrison R. Baker of the Davis-Baker Company indicated that one sign of Kensington's new prosperity was the construction of new, two-story homes like the McConnell/Bathrick House. Baker further stated that the construction of two-story homes were taking the place of one-story homes in the community and that "[a]lmost 25 percent of Kensington Heights' homes are two-story .... " 13 Finally, a February 12, 1928 article entitled "Resumption of 1926 Real Estate Activity Indicated In New February Land Sales," featured photographs of several homes in the Kensington Heights community, including the McConnell/Bathrick House (which was depicted as the "Kensington Heights Home Of Herbert C. Bathrick"). According to the photograph caption, "[b]eautiful homes of true Southern California architecture are arising on the high mesa land of Kensington Heights and this new district fast is becoming one of the city's show places .... Photographs show a group of new homes."14

Historical research indicates that the McConneli!Bathrick House was owned by several different individuals from its construction in 1927 until the early 1930s. In addition, over this same period, the residence was occupied by a number of different people. As a result, it is believed that the McConneii!Bathrick House was originally constructed as a speculation or "spec" house by or between Daniel McConnell and Herbert Bathrick, and was rented out for much of its early history. Grant deeds indicate that Herbert Bathrick owned the property from December, 1927 until it was deeded to J.A. Higgins in April, 1928. In November, 1928, Higgins sold the property to Tyrrell W. Bradley, who in December, 1928, conveyed the property to H.D. Bowman. San Diego City Directories first list the 4380 Hilldale Road property in 1931 with Robert A. Pawling, a rancher, and his wife, Viola, as tenants. The Pawlings were occupants until1932, followed by George and Louise Leidy. In February, 1933, the property was acquired by the Mortgage Guarantee Company and in June, 1933, conveyed to Paul Hodapp. San Diego City Directories indicate that Hodapp, and his wife, Ada, lived in the residence until 1938, with the exception of the year 1936, when the residence was occupied by Arthur Challacombe, a captain with the United States Marine Corps, and his wife, Gwen do len."

Sometime between 1939-1940, the McConneli!Bathrick House was acquired by B.C. Whelan, who appears never to have lived in the residence. Rather, over this period, the property was occupied by Henry E. Biedebach, a district plant supervisor with the San Diego Telephone Company, and his wife Edith (1939). While Whelan was responsible for the construction of a new single-family residence on Lot 242 in 1942, this development did not affect the McConnell/Bathrick House.16 Sometime in 1940, the property was purchased by William F. LaMonte, vice-president of Rogers & Williams Company, who lived in the residence with his wife, Gladys, until the property was sold to Raymond M. Wansley in April, 1947. Wansley lived in the home with his wife, Dorothy, from 1947-1949. Subsequent owners who resided in the home included Joseph E. Berg, an agent with the Aetna Life Insurance Company, and his wife, Francis (December, 1949-December, 1950); Charles Grier, a salesman (December, 1950-December, 1952); John W. Kinally, a manager with the Philco Corporation, and his wife, Ann (December, 1952-July, 1954); and Robert H. Carlisle, a sales manager with Lear & Kuerbis, and his wife, Marie (July, 1954-February, 1966)."

In February, 1966, the McConneli/Bathrick House was deeded to Wilson H. Moyer, who owned the property until February, 1967 when it was acquired by Ingrid Van Mop pes. Van Moppes owned the home until she sold it to Robert R. Ritzman. Ritzman owned and occupied the residence until it was deeded to Sammie Norfos Kerse in September, 1973. In September, 1969, while the home was owned by Ritzman, contractor James J. Burke, Jr. enlarged an existing bathroom and remodeled a closet (wardrobe room). Subsequent owners of the property from 1976-2000 included Gordon W. Parkman (October, 1976-February, 1977); Diane B. Gordinier (February, 1977-August, 1978); Ronald C. Stout and

In February, 2000, the property was acquired by the current owner, D.r. Temple and Mr. Troy Zander, as Trustees of the Zander Family Trust. The property is currently occupied by the Zanders and their family. 18

III. ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS

The Spanish Eclectic Style

The McConneii!Bathrick House was designed and constructed in a Spanish Eclectic architectural style in 1927. H.R. Bathrick was identified as the builder. The Spanish Eclectic style is most common in the American Southwest, particularly California, Arizona, and Texas, areas where the Spanish first colonized in the 1600s. Spanish Colonial architecture as a design vocabulary continued until well into the 19'" century. As a building style, the Spanish Eclectic style was very popular during the 1920s. Older cities, such as Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, deliberately created areas within their communities that emphasized California's Spanish heritage. The style reached its height of popularity in the 1920s and 1930s and then was abandoned during the 1940s in favor of more modernistic architecture.

The Spanish Eclectic style uses design elements borrowed from a rich history of Spanish architecture, including Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles and combines them in a range of uses. The typical features of a Spanish Eclectic design include a low-pitched roof with little or no eave overhang, a red tile roof, arches above central doors and windows, stucco exteriors, and an asymmetrical facade. Houses can be one or two stories with side-gabled, cross-gabled, hipped or flat roofs. Multi-level roofs are very common, adding to the overall asymmetricality of the residence. House shapes range from rectangular to L-shaped; many times wings ar~ added to change the footprint of the structure.

Doors are an important feature and are often heavy, carved, impressive wooden doors dominating the main facade. Sometimes heavy wood panels alternating with glass panes are also used in the simpler style structures. Double sash doors are used, many times opening onto a balcony or enclosed patio. Decorative wrought iron hardware, including door knockers, wall sconces, grilles, and door studs are usually used to add interest to the exterior surfaces. Colored, glazed tiles add a splash of color to the beige or white stucco walls. Many times arches or spiral columns, pilasters, carved stonework, or other decorative elements are used on the main entrance area.

18 Chain Tech, pp.2-4; San Diego City Directories, 1967-1976. 8

Different sized and shaped windows are used on the facades of the structure, but many times a large picture window serves as a focal point on the main facade. These large windows many times feature triple arches or parabolic shapes and may also be filled with stained glass designs. Windows can also contain boxed grilles to allow casement windows to open outward. Balconies, open or roofed with wood or iron railings are a prominent feature.

Stucco or tile decorative vents are commonly used to add detail to the exterior. Elaborate chimney tops, often with small-tiled roofs are used as accent points along the roof line. Towers, one or two story, are often used as dramatic focal points for these structures. One or two story covered porches, usually located on the rear fa~ade,

sometimes function as exterior halls in the temperate climates of the Southwest. Arcaded wing walls are often used as entrances to garden areas. Fountains, walled gardens with arcaded walkways, towers, tile terraces and wrought iron accent elements are also used.

Description O[Phvsical Appearance

The McConneii/Bathrick House was designed and constructed in 1927 as a two­story, assymmetrical Spanish Eclectic single-family residence. Inspection of 1939 and 1942 Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps indicate that when originally constructed, the building was an irregular "L"-shaped two-story dwelling. Today, the residence consists of approximately 1,175 square feet of living space on the first floor and approximately 1,000 square feet of living space on the second floor. The residence features an entrance hall, living room, dining room, den, kitchen, three bedrooms, and three bathrooms. A square­shaped one-story, attached garage was originally located along the southeast elevation. Measuring approximately 20 x 21 feet, the garage totaled approximately 420 square feet of space. In 1992, a garage addition was constructed which added approximately 360 square feet of space. Collectively, therefore, the original garage section and the addition total approximately 780 square feet of space. 19

Of standard construction, the McConneiiiBathrick House is set on a concrete foundation with floor joists. Built of wood frame, the residence features a stucco exterior. The roof is generally side-gabled with a low-pitch and no eave overhang. Some areas of the roof feature shed sections. Exposed roof rafters are present under the roofline as are circular and diamond-styled roof vents. Roofing material consists of red, Mission tile. A stucco-clad chimney is located along the north elevation adjacent to the garage area. Fenestration along the residence is varied. Window types generally consists of wood multi­pane casements, some of which have screens and/or wrought iron grilles. Other windows are double-hung. Of note is a main focal window along the north elevation. This window features a square fixed pane, flanked by single multi-pane casements (one on each side).

The McConnell/Bathrick House features a variety of interesting, typical Spanish Eclectic architectural details. Along the main (north) elevation, the residence features a recessed entryway underneath a thick, molded door surround. This surround features two

19 Residential Building Record. 9

pilasters which form a broad entablature above. A thick, eight-paned wood door with glass security pane is located in the recessed entryway. Above this door is a small balcony with decorative wrought-iron balustrade and multi-paned French doors. Two other balconies are present on the residence. Along the south elevation, there is a balcony overlooking a small patio area with central fountain, tile flooring, and walled garden area. This balcony is formed by thick, carved wood beams and a simple wood balustrade. A similar, but yet smaller, balcony is located along the west elevation. This balcony features thick posts, supported by thick, carved wood beams. A simple wood balustrade is also present. Below this balcony is a small patio area with brick flooring. Along the north elevation, adjacent to the stucco chimney and garage area, is a small turret element. This turret displays a semi-hipped roof with red Mission tile and exposed roof rafters. An arched opening with wooden door is present.

Overall, the McConneii/Bathrick House is in excellent condition. Along the north elevation, there are two, thick stucco columns and arched wooden gate (which leads to the residence), and a mature hedge extending eastward and westward. Mature landscaping is present on the property, consisting of trees, lawn, bushes, flowers, and plants.

IV. STATEMENTS OF HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE

Application of National And California Register Criteria

The City of San Diego, as most jurisdictions, uses criteria developed for the National Register of Historic Places and applies that criteria in a local context. When evaluated within its historic context, a property must be shown to be significant for one or more of the four Criteria for Evaluation-A, B, C, or D. The Criteria describe how properties are significant for their association with important events (Criterion A) or persons (Criterion B), for their importance in design or construction (Criterion C), or for their information potential (Criterion D). A property must not only be shown to be significant under the National Register criteria, but it also must have integrity. The seven aspects of integrity include: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.

Criterion A: Event

To be considered for listing under Criterion A, a property must be associated with one or more events important in the defined historic context. The event or trends must clearly be important within the associated context. Mere association with historic events or trends is not enough, in and of itself, to qualify under Criterion A: the property's specific association must be considered important as well.

The McConneii/Bathrick House does not qualify under National Register Criterion A: Event at either the local, state, or national levels. Historical research failed to identify any important events associated with the building over the course of its existence.

10

Criterion B: Person

Criterion B applies to properties associated with individuals whose specific contributions to history can be identified and documented. Persons "significant in our past" refers to individuals whose activities are demonstrably important within a local, state, or national historic context. The criterion is generally restricted to those properties that illustrate (rather than commemorate) a person's important achievements. The persons associated with the property must be individually significant within a historic context. Properties eligible under Criterion B are usually those associated with a person's productive life, reflecting the time period when he or she achieved significance. Speculative associations are not acceptable.

The McConneli!Bathrick House does not qualify under National Register Criterion B: Person at the local, state, or national levels. Historical research indicates that none of the owners and/or occupants of the residence over the years have been, or are now, considered to be historically significant figures ..

Criterion C: Design/Construction

Properties may be eligible under Criterion C if they embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. Properties which embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction refer to the way in which a property was conceived, designed, or fabricated by a people or culture in past periods of history. Distinctive characteristics are the physical features or traits that commonly recur in individual types, periods, or methods of construction. To be eligible, a property must clearly contain enough of those characteristics to be considered a true representative of a particular type, period, or method of construction.

A master is a figure of generally recognized greatness in a field, a known craftsman of consummate skill, or an anonymous craftsman whose work is distinguishable from others by its characteristic style and quality. The property must express a particular phase in the development of the master's career, an aspect of his or her work, or a particular theme in his or her craft. A property is not eligible as the work of a master, however, simply because it was designed by a prominent architect.

Embodying The Distinctive Characteristics Of A Type, Period, Or Method Of Construction

In its current condition, the McConnell/Bathrick House is considered an excellent representative example of the Spanish Eclectic architectural style. In this regard, the building qualifies embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, and method of Spanish Eclectic construction. As such, the property qualifies under National Register Criterion C: Design/Construction.

11

The Spanish Eclectic style uses design elements borrowed from a rich history of Spanish architecture, including Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles and combines them in a range of uses. The typical features of a Spanish Eclectic design include a low-pitched roof with little or no eave overhang, a red tile roof, arches above central doors and windows, stucco exteriors, and an asymmetrical facade. Houses can be one or two stories with side-gabled, cross-gabled, hipped or flat roofs. Multi-level roofs are very common, adding to the overall asymmetricality of the residence. House shapes range from rectangular to "L"-shaped; many times wings are added to change the footprint of the structure.

Doors are an important feature and are often heavy, carved, impressive wooden doors dominating the main facade. Sometimes heavy wood panels alternating with glass panes are also used in the simpler style structures. Double sash doors are used, many times opening onto a balcony or enclosed patio. Decorative wrought iron hardware, including door knockers, wall sconces, grilles, and door studs are usually used to add interest to the exterior surfaces. Colored, glazed tiles add a splash of color to the beige or white stucco walls. Many times arches or spiral columns, pilasters, carved stonework, or other decorative elements are used on the main entrance area. Different sized and shaped windows are used on the facades of the structure, but many times a large picture window serves as a focal point on the main facade. These large windows many times feature triple arches or parabolic shapes and may also be filled with stained glass designs, Windows can also contain boxed grilles to allow casement windows to open outward. Balconies, open or roofed with wood or iron railings are a prominent feature. Stucco or tile decorative vents are commonly used to add detail to the exterior. Elaborated chimney tops, often with small-tiled roofs are used as accent points along the roof line. Towers, one or two story, are often used as dramatic focal points for these structures. One or two story covered porches, usually located on the rear fa~ade, sometimes function as exterior halls in the temperate climates of the Southwest. Arcaded wing walls are often used as entrances to garden areas. Fountains, walled gardens with arcaded walkways, towers, tile terraces and wrought iron accent elements are also used as part of the design vocabulary.

The McConneii/Bathrick House embodies the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, and method of Spanish Eclectic construction. Such architectural features include, but are not limited to its side-gabled and shed, low-pitched roof with no eave overhang; red, Mission tile and decorative roof vents; stucco chimney; stucco exterior; asymmetrical, almost "L"-shaped facades; heavy, carved, impressive wooden door with thick, molded entablature; main focal window along the north elevation; multi-paned, casement windows, some :with wrought iron grilles; three balconies supported by thick wood beams and wood or iron balustrades; small turret along the north elevation; patio areas, with fountain, tile flooring, and garden area, along the south elevation.

Representing The Work Of A Master (National Register) And/Or Important, Creative Individual (California Register)

The identity of the architect who designed the McConnell!Bathrick House could not be identified. However, the builder of the residence was found to be H.R. Bathrick, an individual who may have been responsible for the design of the home. Historical research indicates that Bathrick is an important, creative builder who designed and built Spanish Eclectic styled homes in the San Diego area during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Consequently, as the McConnell/Bathrick House was designed in a Spanish Eclectic architectural style during the period in which Bathrick built homes in the San Diego area, the residence represents the work of an important, creative individual and, therefore, qualifies under National Register Criterion C: Design/Construction.

Criterion D: Information Potential

Properties may be eligible under Criterion D if they have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

The McConnell/Bathrick House does not qualify under Criterion D: Information Potential, as the property has not, and is not likely to yield information important in terms of history or prehistory.

Application OfSan Diego Historical Resources Board Register Significance Criteria

According to the City of San Diego Land Development Code, Historical Resources Guidelines (Adopted September 28, 1999; Amended June 6, 2000 & April 30, 2001), a building, structure, sign, interior element and fixture, feature, site, place, district, area or object may be designated as historic by the City of San Diego Historical Resources Board if it meets any of the following criteria:

1. If it exemplifies or reflects elements of a City's, a community's or a neighborhood's historical, archaeological, cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, landscaping or architectural development;

Based upon the historic record, the McConnell!Bathrick House clearly exemplifies and reflects the Kensington community's historical and architectural development. Newspaper articles of the period both specifically depict and discuss the McConnell/Bathrick House as the proto-typical type of single-family residence which was constructed during the late 1920s in the Kensington Heights subdivision. These articles cite the McConnell/Bathrick House and its Spanish Eclectic (Southern California) style as representing the precise "type of development" indicative of new homes built in the community. In addition, the residence was singled out as exemplifying and reflecting the "style and character" of homes, particularly the two-storied type, being erected in the early Kensington Heights subdivision. Based upon the ideal and fully-realized expression of the Spanish Eclectic type, style, and character of the property, the McConnell/Bathrick House

13

unequivocally exemplifies and reflects elements of Kensington Heights' and the Kensington community's historical and architectural development.

2. Is identified with persons or events significant in local, state, or national history;

No historical evidence was identified which would suggest that any historically significant events or persons (tenants and/or owners) at the local, state, or national levels were ever identified with the McConneii/Bathrick House over the course of its existence.

3. Embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of construction or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship;

In its current condition, the McConneli!Bathrick House is considered an excellent representative example of the Spanish Eclectic architectural style. In this regard, the building qualifies embodies the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, and method of Spanish Eclectic construction.

The Spanish Eclectic style uses design elements borrowed from a rich history of Spanish architecture, including Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles and combines them in a range of uses. The typical features of a Spanish Eclectic design include a low-pitched roof with little or no eave overhang, a red tile roof, arches above central doors and windows, stucco exteriors, and an asymmetrical facade. Houses can be one or two stories with side-gabled, cross-gabled, hipped or flat roofs. Multi-level roofs are very common, adding to the overall asymmetricality of the residence. House shapes range from rectangular to L-shaped; many times wings are added to change the footprint of the structure.

Doors are an important feature and are often heavy, carved, impressive wooden doors dominating the main facade. Sometimes heavy wood panels alternating with glass panes are also used in the simpler style structures. Double sash doors are used, many times opening onto a balcony or enclosed patio. Decorative wrought iron hardware, including door knockers, wall sconces, grilles, and door studs are usually used to add interest to the exterior surfaces. Colored, glazed tiles add a splash of color to the beige or white stucco walls. Many times arches or spiral columns, pilasters, carved stonework, or other decorative elements are used on the main entrance area. Different sized and shaped windows are used on the facades of the structure, but many times a large picture window serves as a focal point on the main facade. These large windows many times feature triple arches or parabolic shapes and may also be filled with stained glass designs. Windows can also contain boxed grilles to allow casement windows to open outward. Balconies, open or roofed with wood or iron railings are a prominent feature. Stucco or tile decorative vents are commonly used to add detail to the exterior. Elaborated chimney tops, often with small-tiled roofs are used as accent points along the roof line. Towers, one or two story, are often used as dramatic focal points for these structures. One or two story covered porches, usually located on the rear fa~ade, sometimes function as exterior halls in the temperate climates of the Southwest. Arcaded wing walls are often used as entrances to garden areas.

14

Fountains, walled gardens with arcaded walkways, towers, tile terraces and wrought iron accent elements are also used as part of the design vocabulary.

The McConnell/Bathrick House embodies the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, and method of Spanish Eclectic construction. Such architectural features include, but are not limited to its side-gabled and shed, low-pitched roof with no eave overhang; red, Mission tile and decorative roof vents; stucco chimney; stucco exterior; asymmetrical, almost "L"-shaped facades; heavy, carved, impressive wooden door with thick, molded entablature; main focal window along the north elevation; multi-paned, casement windows, some with wrought iron grilles; three balconies supported by thick wood beams and wood or iron balustrades; small turret along the north elevation; patio areas, with fountain, tile flooring, and garden area, along the south elevation.

4. Is representative of the notable work of a master builder, designer, architect, engineer, landscape architect, interior designer, artist, or craftsman;

The identity of the architect who designed the McConneii/Bathrick House could not be identified. However, the builder of the residence was found to be H.R. Bathrick, an individual who may have been responsible for the design of the home. Historical research indicates that Bathrick is a notable master builder who designed and built Spanish Eclectic styled homes in the San Diego area during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Consequently, as the McConneli!Bathrick House was designed in a Spanish Eclectic architectural style during the period in which Bathrick built homes in the San Diego area, the residence represents a notable example of his. work.

5. Is listed on or has been determined eligible by the National Park Service for listing on the National Register of Historic Places or is listed or has been determined eligible by the State Historical Preservation Office for listing on the State Register of Historical Resources; or

The McConneiiiBathrick House is not listed on either the National Register or California Register of Historical Resources. Moreover, the building has not been determined to be eligible for listing on either register by the National Park Service or the State Historic Preservation Office.

6. Is a finite group of resources related to one another in a clearly distinguishable way or is a geographically definable area or neighborhood containing improvements which have a special character, historical interest or aesthetic value or which represent one or more architectural periods or styles in the history and development of the City.

The McConnell/Bathrick House is not a finite group of resources related together in a clearly distinguishable way, nor is it related together in a geographically definable area or neighborhood containing improvements which have a special character, historical interest or aesthetic value, nor does it represent one or more architectural periods or styles in the history and development of San Diego.

15

V. INTEGRITY

In addition to determining the significance of a property under the National Register criteria, a property must also must possess integrity. The seven key aspects of integrity include: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.

Location

Location is the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred.

The McConneii/Bathrick House was constructed in 1927 and has remained in the same location throughout its existence.

Design

Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property.

With the exception of an interior remodel in 1969 and a garage extension in 1992, the McConneiiiBathrick House has not been substantially modified and/or altered over the course of its existence. As a result, the property retains its original form, space, structure, and style. The building retains its design element for integrity purposes.

Setting

Setting is the physical environment of a historic property.

The McConneii/Bathrick House has been sited on the same lot since its original construction in 1927. Inspection of the surrounding neighborhood today indicates the presence of many original structures in the nearby vicinity. Many structures in the surrounding area are single-family residences. The fact that the McConneii/Bathrick House has retained its original physical environment and the surrounding physical environment of this section of Kensington is generally intact, means that the residence has retained its setting element for integrity purposes.

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.

16

The materials that have gone into the construction of the McConneii/Bathrick House are largely original. The building, therefore, retains its materials element for integrity purposes.

Workmanship

Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory.

As with the materials discussion above, the workmanship that has gone into the construction of the McConneii/Bathrick House is almost all original. The building therefore retains its workmanship element for integrity purposes.

Feeling

Feeling is a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time.

The McConneii/Bathrick House, in its current condition, still imparts an aesthetic or historic sense of Colonial Revival construction during the late 1920s (i.e. 1927). As a result, the building retains its feeling element for integrity purposes.

Association

Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property.

The McConneii/Bathrick House is not directly linked to any important historic events or individuals. The building, therefore, does not possess an associative element for integrity purposes.

VI. CONCLUSION

Historical research indicates that the McConnell/Bathrick House was designed and built in a Spanish Eclectic architectural style in 1927 for original owners Daniel McConnell and H.R. (Herbert R.) Bathrick, likely as a "speculative" or "spec" house. While the identity of the architect responsible for the design of the residence could not be ascertained, historical research indicates that Herbert R. Bathrick, an important contractor, served as the builder. Although it could not be substantiated, Bathrick may have also served as the architect. Over the course of its existence, the McConneii/Bathrick House was both tenant and owner occupied.

Historical research indicates that the McConneii/Bathrick House is both historically and architecturally significant. Based upon the historic record, the McConneii/Bathrick Honse exemplifies and reflects Kensington's historical and architectural development.

17

Newspaper articles of the period specifically depict and discuss the McConneli/Bathrick House as the proto-typical type of single-family residence which was constructed during the late 1920s in the Kensington Heights subdivision. These articles cite the McConnell/Bathrick House and its Spanish Eclectic (Southern California) style as representing the precise "type of development" indicative of new homes built in the community. In addition, the residence was singled out as exemplifying and reflecting the "style and character" of homes, particularly the two-storied type, being erected in the early Kensington Heights subdivision. Based upon the ideal and fully-realized expression of the Spanish Eclectic type, style, and character of the property, the McConneii/Bathrick House unequivocally exemplifies and reflects elements of Kensington Heights' and the Kensington community's historical and architectural development.

The McConneii/Bathrick House is also architecturally significant for its design and relationship with builder, H.R. Bathrick. The residence embodies the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, and method of Spanish Eclectic construction. Such architectural features present in the structure include, but are not limited to, its side­gabled and shed, low-pitched roof with no eave overhang; red, Mission tile and decorative roof vents; stucco chimney; stucco exterior; asymmetrical, almost "L"-shaped facades; heavy, carved, impressive wooden door with thick, molded entablature; main focal window along the north elevation; multi-paned, casement windows, some with wrought iron grilles; three balconies supported by thick wood beams and wood or iron balustrades; small turret along the north elevation; patio areas, with fountain, tile flooring, and garden area, along the south elevation. The building is an excellent example of this style. In addition, historical research indicates that Bathrick is a notable master builder who designed and built Spanish Eclectic styled homes in the San Diego area during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Consequently, as the McConneii/Bathrick House was designed in a Spanish Eclectic architectural style during the period in which Bathrick built homes in the San Diego area, the residence represents a notable example of his work.

The McConneii/Bathrick House has been determined by the present historical assessment to be both historically and architecturally significant, the resource is eligible for listing on the San Diego Historical Resources Board Register under Criteria A (Community Development); Criteria C (Architecture), and Criteria D (Master Builder).

*P3a.Description (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries):

The McConneii/Bathrick House was designed and constructed in 1927 as a two-sto•·y, assymmetrical Spanish Eclectic single-family residence. Inspection of 1939 and 1942 Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps indicate that when originally constructed, the building was an irregula•· "L"-shaped two-story dwelling. Today, the residence consists of approximately 1,175 square feet of living space on the first floor and approximately 1,000 square feet of living space on the second floo.-. The residence features an entrance hall, living room, dining room, den, kitchen, three bedrooms, aud three bath•·ooms. A square­shaped one-story, attached garage was origiually located along the southeast elevation. iVIeasuring approximately 20 x 21 feet, the g:u·agc totaled approximately 420 square feet of space. In 1992, a garage addition was constructed which added approximately 360 square feet of space. Collectively, therefore, the original ga•·age section and the addition total approximately 780 square feet of space.

The McConnell/Bath riel{ House is located on the west side of the 430() block of Hill dale Road in San Diego's Kensington community. The residence is located on the easterly 2.5 feet of Lot 242 and all of Lot 243, according to Map 1912, within Kensington Heights Unit Number 2, Assessors Parcel Number 465-044-11. The property is located at or near the southwest corner of Hill dale Road and Middlesex Drive.

Historical research indicates that the p•·operty on which the 4380 Hilldale Road residence is today located, was acquired by Daniel McConnell from the Union Trust Company of San Diego in September, 1927. Tlu·ee months later McConnell deeded his interest in the property to H.R. Bath.-icl<. The historic record confirms that the 4380 Hilldale Road residence was built for Daniel McConnell in1927. This date of construction is supported by the Residential Building Record. Interestingly, a Notice of Completion tiled on the property by McConnell indicates that in August, 1927, he entered into a contract with Bathrick fo•· the construction of"one 8-room stucco house." The structure was completed in October, 1927. Previo~s historical studies have identified "H.R. Bathricl<'' as Herbert R. Bathrick, a p.-incipal with the }Jasadena-based building firm of the Bathrick Brothe1·s. Bathrick and his finn are !mown to have built and developed a numbe.- of important Spanish Eclectic single-f:lmily residences iu the Lorna Portal community of San Diego during the early 1930s.

l Continuation D Update

*P3a. Description:

The McConneii/Bathricl< House features a variety of interesting, typical Spanish Eclectic architectural details. Along the main (north) elevlltion, the residence features a recessed entryway underneath a thick, molded doo1· surround. This surround features two pilasters which form a broad entablature above. A thick, eight-paned wood door with glass security pane is located in the recessed entryway. Above this door is a small balcony with dec01·ative wrought-iron balustrade and multi-paned French doors. Two other balconies arc present on the residence. Along the south elevation, there is a balcony ovcrlooldng a small patio area with central fountain, tile flooring, and walled garden area. This balcony is formed by thick, carved wood beams and a simple wood balustrade. A similar, but yet smaller, balcony is located along the west elevation. This balcony featu•·cs thick posts, suppo•·tcd by thick, carved wood beams. A simple wood balustrade is also p•·esent. Below this balcony is a small patio area with brick Jlooring. Along the north elevation, adjacent to the stucco chimney and garage a•·ca, is a small turret element. This tun·et displays a semi-hipped roof with red Mission tile and exposed roof rafters. An arched opening with wooden do01· is present.

Overall, the McConneli/Bathricl< House is in excellent condition. Along the north elevation, there arc two, thicl< stucco columns and arched wooden gate (which leads to the residence), and a mature hedge extending eastward and westward. Mature landscaping is present on the property, consisting of trees, lawn, bushes, flowers, and plants.

*810. Significance:

While City of San Diego water and sewer records for the McConneli/Bathrick House could not be located, San Diego Union newspaper articles of the period, depict the development of the surrounding Kensington community and, specifically, const•·uction of the r·esidence. According to a November, 1927 article, the Davis~Baker Company actively promoted the "new Residential District successfully Established in Kensington Heights." With $300,000 spent in improvements aud over 31 "beautiful" homes completed, the Company cited that Jot owners had spent "a quarter of a million/dollars] in building homes." 'With prominent San Diegeans cited as members of the new Kensington Heights community, the Company touted such benefits as expert architectural and engineering supervision, building •·estrictions, atmosphere, location, public utilities, and lots which ranged from "a little over $1,000 to most exclusive at S5,000." Depicted prominently in the Company's advertisement were two photographs of the McConneii/Bathrick House sho\-ving the building's east and north elevations. Captions for these "Pictures of Kensington Heights" featm·ed the McConneii/Bathrick House in a "street scene showing the type of development" indicative of the community. The individual picture of the residence showed "the style and character going into Kensington Heights homes."

Other period San Diego Union newspaper articles depict the McConneli/Bathrick House and its importance to the early Kensington community. A January 22, 1928 article entitled "Two-Story Home, Greeted As Prosperity Sign For City, Popular In Heights Tract," included a photograph of the residence with the caption, "Beautiful new homes in the southern California type of architecture are going up in Kensington Heights at the rate of more than $1,000 worth of construction a day. The photograph Jofthe McConnell/Bathrick House] shows a construction scene and one of the new two~story southern California~type homes recently added to the tract." According to the article, Harrison R. Baker of the Davis-Baker Company indicated that one sign ofKensington's new prosperity was the construction of new, two-story homes lil.:e the McConnell/Bathrick House. Baker further stated that the consh·uction of two~story homes were taldng the place of one-story homes in the community and that "Jajlmost 25 percent of Kensington Heights' homes are two~story .... " Finally, a February 12, 1928 article entitled "Resumption of1926 Real Estate ActhHy Indicated In New Februa•·y Land Sales,'' featured photog•·aphs of several homes in the Kensington Heights community, including the McConnell/Bathrick House (which was depicted as the "'Kensington Heights Home OfHerbert C. Bathrick"). According to the photograph caption, "[bjeautiful homes oftru·e Southern California architecture are arising on the high mesa land of Kensington Heights and this new district fast is becoming one of the city's show places .... Photographs show a group of new homes."

Historical research indicates that the McConneli/BathrickHousewas owned by-several different individuals from its coi1struction in 1927 until the early 1930s. In addition, over this same period, the residence was occupied by a number of different people. As a result, it is believed that the McConneii/B<lthrick House was originally constructed as a speculation or "spec" house by o•· between Daniel McConnell and Herbert Bathricl\, and was rented out for much of its early history. Grant deeds indicate that Herbert Bathdck owned the property from December, 1927 until it was deeded to J.A. Higgins in April, 1928. In November, 1928, Higgins sold the prope.-ty to Tyrrell W. Bradley, who in December, 1928, conveyed the property to B.D. Bowman, San Diego City Directories first list the 4380 Hill dale Road property in 1931 with Robert A. Pawling, a rancher, and his wife, Viola, as tenants. The Pawlings were. occupants until 1932, followed by George and Louise Leidy. In February, 1933, the property was acquired by the Mortgage Guarantee Company and in June, 1933, conveyed

to P:tul Hodapp. San Diego City Directories indicate that Hodapp, and his wife, Ada, lived in the residence until1938, with the exception of the yea1· 1936, when the residence W:lS occupied by Arthur Challacombe, a captain With the United States Marine Corps, and his wife, Gwendolen.

Sometime between 1939~1940, the McConneii/Bathrick House was acquired by B.C. Whelan, who appears never to have lived in the residence. Rather, over this period, the property was occupied by Henry E. Bicdebach, a district plant supervisor with the San Diego Telephone Company, and his wife Edith (1939). While Whelan was responsible for the construction of a new single~family residence on Lot 242 in 1942, this development did not affect the McConneli/Bathrick House. Sometime in 1940, the property was purchased by Willinm F. LaMonte, vicc~presideot of Rogers & Williams Company, who lived in the residence with his wife, Gladys, until the property was sold to Raymond M. Wauslcy in April, 1947. Wansley lived in the"IJOme with his wife, Dorothy, from 1947-1949. Subsequent owners who resided in the home included Joseph E. Berg, an ageut with the Aetna Life Insurance Company, and his wife, Francis (December, 1949-December, 1950); ChHrlcs Gric1·, a salesman (December, 1950-Dcccmber, 1952); John W. Kinally, a manager with the Philco Corporation, and his wife, Ann (December, 1952-July, 1954); and Robert H. Carlisle, a SHies manager with Lear & Kuerbis, and his wife, i\-'Iarie (July, I 954-Fcbruary, 1966).

In February, 1966, the McConncii/BathricliHousewas deeded to Wilson H. Moyer, who owned the p1·operty until J;i'ebruary, 1967 when it was acquired by lngl'id Van Moppes. Van Moppes owned the home until she sold it to Robert R. Ritzman. Ritzman owned and occupied the residence until it was deeded to Sammie Norfos Ke1·se in September, 1973. In September, 1969, \Yhile the home was owned by Ritzman, contJ·actor James J. Burke, Jr. enlarged an existing bathroom and remodeled a closet (wardrobe room). Subsequent owners of the property from 1976-2000 included Gordon W. Parkman (October, 1976-February, 1977); Diane B. Go1·dinier(February, 1977-August, 1978); Ronald C. Stout and Mam·een A. Stout (August, 1978-Decembcr, 1983); Dwight Anderson and Nancy Scott Anderson (December, 1983-0ctober, 1989); David and Faith Kromer (October, 1989-July, 1994); Coscan Davidson Partnet·s (July, 1994-Fcbruary,, 1995); and David M. Gomez-Cast1·o :lnd Charles L. Ballou (Februa1·y, 1995-FebJ·uary, 2000). An extension of the original ga1·age was constructed in March, 1992. Jn February, 2000, the property was acquired by the current owner, Dr. Temple and !VIr. Troy Zander, as Trustees of the Zander Family Trust. ThC p1·operty is currently occupied by the Zanders and their family.

Historical research indicates that the McConneii/Bathdck House is both historically and architecturally significant. Based upon the historic record, the McConneii/Bathricl{ House exemplifies an<l reflects Kensington's historical and architectural development. Newspaper articles of the period specifically depict and discuss the McConnell/Bath ric!{ House as the proto-typical type of single~family residence which was constructed during the late 1920s in the Kensington Heights subdivision. These articles cite the McConnell/Bath rick House and its Spanish Eclectic (Southern California) style as representing the precise "type of development" indicative of new homes built in the community. In addition, the residence was singled out as exemplifying and reflecting the "style and character" of homes, particularly the two-storied type, being erected in the early Kensington Heights subdivision. Based upon the ideal and fully-realized expression of the Spanish Eclectic type, style, and character of the property, the McConneii/Bathrick House unequivocally exemplifies and reflects elements of Kensington Heights' and the Kensingtou community's historical and architectural development.

The McConneli/Bathricki-Iouse is also architecturally significant for its design and relationship with builde'r, H.R. Bathrick. The residence embodies the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, and method of Spanish Eclectic construction. Such architectural features present in the structure include, but are not limited to, its side-gabled and shed, low~pitched roof with no eave overhang; red, Mission tile and decorative roof vents; stucco chimney; stucco exterior; asymmetrical, almost "L"-shaped facades; heavy, carved, impressive wooden door with thicli, molded entablature; main focal window along the north elevation; multi-paned, casement windows, some with wrought iron grilles; three balconies supported by thick wood beams and wood or iron balustrades; small turret along the north elevation; patio areas, with fountain, tile tlooring, and garden area, along the south elevation. The building is an excellent example of this style. In addition, historical research indicates that Bathricli is a notable master builder who designed and built Spanish Eclectic styled homes in the San Diego area during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Consequently, as the McConnell/Bath rick House was designed in a Spanish Eclectic architectural style during the period in which Bath riel< built homes in the San Diego area, the residence represents a not:1ble example of his work

The McConneii/Bathrick House has been determined by the present historical assessment to be both historically and architecturally significant. The resource is eligible for listing on the San Diego Historical Resources Board Register under Criteria A (Community Development); CriteriH C (Architecture), and Critel"ia D (Master Builder).
