The sagging west slope of the roof suggests the building may have significant structural <br />deficiencies. <br />11033 Dublin Canyon Road <br />The house at 11033 Dublin Canyon Road is a single-family, single-story house with an L-shaped plan. <br />According to County Assessor records, the house at 11033 Dublin Canyon Road was built by the <br />current owner/occupant in 1966. <br />The cross gable roof (covered with asphalt shingles) has plain shallow eaves. The exterior walls are <br />covered with smooth stucco. The windows on the front façade are horizontal aluminum sash sliders. <br />The front (north) façade has a prominent gable on the west with an adjacent recessed entrance <br />porch. The gable has wide eaves with decorative brackets; the wall below the gable has two <br />aluminum frame windows. The front façade has a brick base. One square post supports the porch <br />roof projecting out from the main gable roof. The south façade has a sliding glass rear door. <br />Inside, the house has 1,850 square feet. The four bedrooms are on the west with the living areas—a <br />kitchen, a dining room and a family room—on the east. The interior walls are largely covered <br />wallboard. Part of the family room has natural wood paneling. <br />All structures were evaluated relative to the four eligibility criteria under NRHP and CRHR. This <br />included an evaluation of the property’s potential significance in American history, architecture, <br />archaeology, engineering, and culture as present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects <br />that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. <br />Criterion 1 <br />The house at 11021 Dublin Canyon Road is associated with cultural patterns such as ranching or <br />agricultural history of the Dublin/Pleasanton. However, the property is not eligible under CRHR <br />criterion 1 because of the loss of all the original barns and outbuildings associated with its original <br />use as a ranch. The historic integrity as a ranch has been compromised. The house at 11033 Dublin <br />Canyon Road is a suburban Ranch house not associated with the property’s use as a ranch. <br />In conclusion, the houses at 11021-11033 Dublin Canyon Road do not appear to be historically <br />significant because of its association with local history, thus the houses are not significant under <br />CRHR Criterion 1. <br />Criterion 2 <br />Historic research did not identify any significant persons in local history who had lived in the houses <br />at 11021 and 11033 Dublin Canyon Road, thus the houses do not appear to be significant under <br />CRHR Criterion 2. The earliest occupants of the house at 11021 Dublin Canyon Road, Mary and <br />Joseph Fernandes, a farmer, were not significant persons in local history. Beginning in circa 1940, <br />Manuel Terra, Sr., followed by his son Manuel Terra, Jr., occupied 11021 Dublin Canyon Road. They <br />were typical ranchers in the Dublin area and not persons of historic significance. The house at 11033 <br />Dublin Canyon Road was built by the current occupant, Mabel Lester, in 1966.
