State of California-The Resources Agency Primary# DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial- - Page 3 of 12 *Resource Name or#(Assigned by recorder) Hall House and Rental *Recorded by Franklin Maggi *Date 6/8/2011 ®Continuation ❑Update (Continued from previous page) A barn like structure existed at the time of the property acquisition in 1909 by the Hall family, as well as another ancillary building at the corner of the property at Neal and Third Streets. These buildings do not appear on the 1943 Sanborn maps, but by then a small building was located immediately to the rear of the south corner of the house. According to Sanborn Fire Insurance maps, by 1953, the portion of the property now containing 205 Neal St. contained a small one-car garage at the west rear corner. Sometime after 1953, the house at 205 Neal St. was apparently moved onto the site and positioned near the retaining wall with a driveway to the rear along the northwest property line. This sequence of events is disputed by a family informant, who claims that the current structure existed on this site by the early 1940s and was remodeled for human occupation during World War II. This cross-gabled building appears to have been originally a simple equipment and/or horse barn built earlier in the twentieth century. A low-slope front porch roof has been added the full width of the building and is braced by slender 4x4 wood columns that sit on a concrete slab porch floor. A small shallow addition has been added to the rear at the west corner. The short rafters at the rear have been sistered with short 2x4s to extend the eave depth, and the building is clad on three sides with wide v-groove siding commonly used in the 1950s in residential ranch-style buildings. The front wall was formed with a centrally located door (of a type also typical of 1950s houses) , and a large fixed multi-lite window and a smaller four-lite hinged window. Multi-lite double doors and two six-lite casement windows were installed at the rear. In addition, the inside elevation facing 215 Neal St. originally had a window opening, but this was patched with siding matching what was likely the original siding on the building; a variant of channel-rustic siding with a shorter profile and curved channel. The building has recent asphalt shingle roofing over skip sheeting exposed at the rake eaves, and is guttered at the front and rear. Both building sites have residential-scale landscaping with modest plantings and lawn. The house at 215 Neal St. has a large mature tree in the parking strip, and 205 Neal St. contains a mature Date Palm located just inside the public sidewalk. The garage that had existed at the rear of the site at 205 Neal St. was demolished at date unknown and a small portable storage building is now located in that area. A garage that had existed at 215 Neal St. was recently replaced with a covered parking structure to the southeast of the house as a part of a lot split of the property. Additional small ancillary buildings that are contemporary in age exist at the rear property line behind 215 Neal St. DPR523L *Required information
