<br /> does not appear to qualify for listing under NRIIP/CRI IR Criterion 03. The house does not possess high artistic values, nor does it embody
<br /> the characteristics of a distinctive type, period, or method of construction,01 represent the work of a master architect or builder.Although
<br /> 4189 Stanley Boulevard can be considered a Craftsman bungalow house, it is not a particularly representative or distinctive example of that
<br /> style. Finally, NRIIP/CRIIR Criterion /V4 is generally applied to archeological resources and evaluation of the residence at 4189 Stanley
<br /> 1oulevard for eligibility under this criterion was beyond the scope of this evaluation.
<br /> Nor does the house at 4189 Stanley Boulevard appear eligible for listing in foe CRIIR or NRIIP as a contributor to a historic district. While a
<br /> few other early-twentieth-century houses remain along Stanley Boulevard,they are interspersed among sections of residential development
<br /> of considerably more recent vintage, and they are too widely dispersed to constitute a historic district. Indeed, the houses at 4189 and 4151
<br /> appear to be the only houses on the north side of that portion of Stanley Boulevard that remain from the first half of the twentieth century.
<br /> Evaluation of Integrity
<br /> 'File house at 4189 Stanley Boulevard has a fair level of integrity. Because it has not been moved, it retains integrity of location. While the
<br /> house is still mostly surrounded by modestly-scaled, single-family residential development, much of that development dates from the past
<br /> few decades, reducing 4189 Stanley Boulevard's integrity of setting.The Footprint, form and structure of the house remain unchanged from
<br /> that shown on the 1929 Sanborn map of the area, and it retains features associated with the Craftsman bungalow style, including multi-light
<br /> one-over-one windows; a hipped dormer;deep eaves; a recessed,partial-width porch; asymmetrical massing; and an exterior chimney. As a
<br /> result, the building retains good integrity of design. While the house retains these features that together serve to articulate the Craftsman
<br /> bungalow character of the property, the house's integrity of materials has been reduced by addition of stucco cladding, which appears to
<br /> have been applied on top of the building's pre-existing cladding. Similarly, the building's ability to communicate the workmanship
<br /> associated with the Craftsman style has been reduced by the addition of stucco cladding,which completely obscures what otherwise would
<br /> have been a key character-defining feature. I lowever,other elements of the original workmanship of the residence at 4189 Stanley
<br /> Boulevard(including the multi-light windows, hipped dormer,wide eaves, and recessed porch)provide physical evidence of construction
<br /> methods of Craftsman residential structures of the early twentieth century. As a result, the property's integrity of materials and workman:F.
<br /> is fair. Despite its non-original cladding, the house retains integrity of feeling and association, because it continues to convey a sense of ea
<br /> twentieth-century residential construction in the Pleasanton area.
<br /> Because the building does not appear to satisfy any of the NRIIP/CRIIR significance criteria,ARC has assigned the house at 4189 Stanley
<br /> Boulevard a California Historical Resource Status Code of 6Z,which indicates that the property was found ineligible for the NRHP,CRI-IR
<br /> or local designation through survey evaluation.
