Gmait 212 Carmel 4 messages Steve Honegger Christine Kasman Fri, Oct 31, 2025 at 2:29 PM To: Steve Honegger Hi Steve. I spent some time at the Barn today researching this address. Part of the time was wading through the PC (versus an Apple) and I never could make the screenshot work (despite Michael's instructions to me about it in the past). Nevertheless, I WAS successful logging in and getting to the proper website and also the P drive. Please see attached picture (from Redfin) and the plaque request. In Don Howard I found it was in Block 25, first Addition, Lot 12 (in another source [see below] it indicates part of the garage belonged to Lot 16. As of 1928 the property was owned by Eva L. Preston and Harold O. Preston (1928 Block Files) with a date 6/5/1926 (Comment: was this when they purchased it?). See attached diagram from the APN file (APN 006 274 004 000). According to the Howard record the "deed" was dated 9/3/1910 but it was unclear if this was with the Prestons. The diagram shows the house and a garage. It indicates that, in 1928, the house was 18 years old, suggesting construction in 1909 or 1910 but I could not find any information about prior owners. When assessed in March 1928, it was one story, four rooms and a garage. It was wood frame with rustic siding and a shallow masony foundation. The roof was shingled with an abbreviation HI. Exterior was plain ornmental wood trim. In 2018/9 the house was taken off the HRI as "no historic integrity." I would decline a plaque because the house does not appear to be anything like the original and the tacked on second story destroys the historic character. While I was upstairs I noticed that Mr. Bourke and Mr. Peake have name tags in their boxes that are magnetized. I still have the "pin" name tag so do not wear it when at the barn. I would appreciate if you could order me a magnetized one. Many thanks.
