The Heritage Society ofPacific Grove P.O. Box 1007 Pacific Grove, CA 93950 831/ June 7,2007 Tricia Wotan Associate Planner Community Development Department City ofPacific Grove 300 Forest Ave. Pacific Grove, CA 93950 RE: 859 Maple Street Dear Ms. Wotan: In response to your request for information on the above referenced property, I have researched the County Assessor Tax Records and Maps, files at your CDD and A Field Guide to American Houses, by Virginia & Lee McAlester (Alfred A Knopt Inc.), I also have studied the characteristics ofthe home at this location. The property is not defined on the 1926 and earlier Pacific Grove Sanborn Maps because at that time, this property was outside ofthe City limits. In the course of my research, it was determined that the original address for this location was 857 Maple Street, which is reflected on The County Assessor Maps. Additionally, this lot, located in Block 340 was changed from lot 5 to lot 1. The 1928 Building Classification and Computation Record identifies 3 structures on the property, a three room, board & batten, single-family dwelling, a shed (possibly a garage) and a poultry house. Taxes for improvements to the property were first assessed in the tax year 1925-1926. Ofnote, the County Assessors Tax Records are recorded by fiscal year beginning July 10 and ending June 30th and reflect the party who paid the taxes. I am enclosing copies of tax records from June 30, 1924 through June 30, 1932. On July 5, 1930 building permit number 412 was issued to construct a 30,68, five room, stucco, single-family dwelling and detached, 18x24 garage. It is my conclusion that this dwelling replaced the 20x21 board & batten that was on this site in 1928. , OCR Text: The Heritage Society ofPacific Grove P.O.
