Heritage Society of Pacific Grove P. O. Box 1007 Pacific Grove, CA 93950 February 22, 1991 Mrs. Connie Sellards 1003 Morse Drive Pacific Grove, CA 93950 RE: 605 Congress Dear Mrs. Sellards, Thanks for the information on 605 Congress. After our phone conversation, I researched the house through the tax assessor books from the County Courthouse in Salinas. The house was first assessed in 1912, which usually means the house was built in early 1912 or mid to late 1911. The official owner, as listed in the assessor's records, was the Pacific Improvement Company until 1919 when Mrs. E. L. Anderson was listed as the owner through the Del Monte Properties Company. I cannot explain why there was no assessment from 1917 thru 1920, when the house was obviously there according to the maps. guess it is possible Anderson was also the owner as early s 1912. Perhaps he owned it through the Pacific Improvement o. until he paid it off. I really can't say for sure. I think it is a wonderful old house. If you come across any old photos of the house, I would love to have a copy for our files. Sincerely, Adam Weiland Research Director Encl: Sanborn maps from 1914 and 1926. Tax assessor information through 1926. , OCR Text: Heritage Society of Pacific Grove P. O.
