State of California—The Resources Agency Primary it DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial Page 7 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) At the time of Beuford's re-occupation of the property, the large addition to the southeast side of 215 Neal St. was gone, and the side porch had been wrapped around the front of the house and terminated on the southeast side. The house had also been expanded to the rear over the area that had once had a tank house. The 1943 Sanborn map does not show a structure where 205 Neal St. sits today, and the two structures at 3rd and Neal Streets were no longer extant. In 1943 Camp Parks opened in the area as a Navy Base. In 1942, land acquisition and construction began and the completed base was commissioned Jan. 19, 1943 as home to the Navy Seabees. A family informant indicates that the extant building at 205 Neal St. was once a horse and carriage house, and was converted for occupancy when Camp Parks opened to help house military personnel. It is possible that the barn structure was relocated to the site about this time, or may have pre-existed this date but not drawn on the Sanborn map. The remodeling of 205 Neal St. included installation of a concrete slab foundation. A garage was also constructed to the rear which appears on the 1953 Sanborn map (although the house at 205 Neal St. is not shown) , but was later demolished. In later years the converted barn continued to be used as a rental, as it is in the present. During the ownership of the property by Beuford Hall, a large portion of the porch at 215 Neal St. was enclosed, and the return of the porch on the southeast side was clipped off, and a bay window installed in that side location. The property was also reconfigured, initially with the addition of land at the rear of the main house, and then in recent times when the corner of Neal and 3rd Streets was parceled off for the construction of a new single family house. Survey Status The property at 215 Neal St. was recorded without reference to 205 Neal St. in 2003 by Architectural Resources Group as a part of the citywide survey. The property is not listed on any other local, state, or national registers of historic properties. EVALUATION The buildings on the subject property are over 50 years in age, initially constructed before 1893, and expanded to its current form after 1907 and later. The property was evaluated for significance under the criteria of the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Resources. The Hall House and Rental was not found to meet the minimum criteria for listing in the National Register or the California Register. The significance criteria for the listing of built resources on the National Register and California Register are similar, although the California Register criteria are oriented to the unique history of California. Both sets of criteria indicate that a property must be associated with important patterns/events, historic personages, or distinctive architectural specimens. Criterion (NR-A,CR-1) : there are no known events associated with the property at 205 and 215 Neal St. For the property to be eligible under this criterion the findings must be based on its contribution to broad patterns of local or regional history or cultural heritage, it must be a part of a larger historic context that is recognized, or has the clear potential for being recognized for its historic significance. For residential properties, being a contributing part of a collection of recognized historic residences would enable eligibility. The property has not been recognized as a contributor to a larger historic district that has been found to be historically significant, nor is the house identified as a contributor to a larger pattern of development in any other official policy documents other than the current recording by Architectural Resources Group. The immediate adjacent properties contain a mix of older and newer homes. Because of this lack of historic continuity to potentially significant historic events or patterns, the property does not appear eligible under the applicable Criterion (A or 1) .
