CITY OF GLENDALE INTERDIVISIONAL COMMUNICATION

STAFF REPORT

Date: December 16, 2013 To: Historic Preservation Commission From: Christina Park, Preservation Apprentice Reviewed: Jay Platt, Senior Urban Designer Subject: Recommendation regarding Glendale Register of Historic Resources nomination and Mills Act Contract for 1411 N Central Avenue Property Owner: Jose Chavez and Frances Murrietta-Chavez Property Legal Description: Lot 1 and part of Lot 3 of Tract 9819 ___________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The owners of the single-family house at 1411 North Central Avenue have requested that their property be considered for local listing on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources. Based on a field visit to the property, information on the property obtained from City records, and the nomination and historic documentation submitted by the owners (Exhibit A), the property appears to be eligible under Criterion 3 as discussed in this staff report. Therefore, the Planning Division recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission recommend to the City Council that the property be designated as a local historic resource and be added to the Glendale Register of Historic Resources. It is also recommended that the property be designated as the “Weaver House.” The property owner has also requested to enter into a Mills Act contract with the City of Glendale for the benefit of property tax savings in exchange for continued preservation of the property. The Planning Division additionally recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission recommend to the City Council that the City Manager be authorized to enter into a “Mills Act” historical property contract with the property owners under the Section 15.20.070A of the Glendale Municipal Code. Glendale’s Historic Preservation Ordinance establishes the process for designating historic properties locally and outlines the procedure for considering future alterations of those officially designated properties, which includes the review role of the Historic Preservation Commission.


HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE AND ELIGIBILITY OF PROPERTY Historical Background 1411 North Central Avenue is a Spanish Colonial Revival-style residence built in 1927 and located in the Verdugo Viejo neighborhood. It has been featured in numerous home tours throughout the years, including The Glendale Historical Society’s 2012 Fall Home Tour. It is described in David Gebhard and Robert Winter’s An Architectural Guidebook to Los Angeles as a “fairy-tale castle with a lovely tile band wrapped around the tower.” The house was built for Eugene L. Weaver, an executive with Ben-Hur Coffee, a division of the Joannes Brothers Corporation. Ben-Hur pioneered the world’s first drip coffee system under Weaver’s management, and he is credited with the invention. Born in 1876 in Holly Springs, Mississippi, Weaver left his home state for Glendale in 1888. He married Sarah Mojonnier in 1900 and had two sons, Frederick and Charles. The latter was principal of the landscape architecture firm C.E. Weaver & Sons, which was responsible for the landscape designs of many homes in North Glendale. Charles designed and built his own Tudor Revival-style Storybook cottage just down the street at 228 Spencer Street in 1927, the same year his father commissioned his house. Eugene Weaver began his career as a grocery salesman, eventually becoming sales manager at the Joannes Brothers Corporation. He was vice president and executive general manager of the Ben-Hur division for forty years. The company’s Los Angeles headquarters was designed by John Parkinson and located in what is now the Arts District. Trade publications touted the facility’s sanitary, high-tech environs and its scientific approach to wholesale food production, including an entire floor dedicated to vacuum-sealing coffee canisters. Weaver worked in the wholesale food business his entire career. He was active in the Los Angeles Advertising Club and was probably responsible for placing the Ben-Hur name atop the Wilshire Coffee Pot, an example of programmatic architecture. He died in 1965 at the age of 88. Architect Benjamin W. Sherwood was commissioned to design the Weaver residence. While not a licensed architect, he was a talented designer known in Los Angeles for his theatrical, often whimsical take on Period Revival styles. His most famous work is Disney Court, a bungalow court of eight Storybook cottages in Los Feliz built in 1931. Disney Court is located next to the former Walt Disney Studios at 2906 Griffith Park Boulevard, and said to have been the inspiration for the cottage in Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Sherwood’s only other known work in Glendale is the Spanish Colonial Revival-style Gray-Sherwood House (GR-90). Ben Sherwood was born in Indiana in 1901 and moved to Glendale with his family as a teenager. He began his career as a designer and builder in the early 1920s, advertising his services in the local papers. His office was located at 313 South Brand. Sherwood built a number of houses on spec during the boom years leading into the Great Depression. They were high-quality designs featuring large rooms and “unusual” enclosed courtyards meant to cater to the tastes of an exclusive clientele.


Sherwood continued to work as a building contractor well into the 1950s, during which time he lived in Orange County and San Diego. While very little is known of his later work, he was clearly a talented designer whose theatrical sensibility and eye for detail blurred architectural fantasy and reality. Architectural Description 1411 North Central Avenue is a two-story single residence located on a corner lot at the intersection of Central Avenue and Spencer Street. Asymmetrical in plan, the house consists of several one- and two-story volumes forming a U-shape around an interior south-facing courtyard. Its walls are clad in smooth stucco distinguished by an organic, hand-troweled finish. The multi-level roof is a combination of gabled, hipped, and shed forms clad with red clay barrel tile. The exception is the roof over the round entry tower, which is conical. All roofs feature shallow eaves with exposed rafter tails. The house’s most character-defining element is the dramatic entry tower at the northeast corner, which features battered walls and colorful tilework. The entrance recess is a deep plaster arch edged with colorful tilework. A massive arched, wood-paneled door ornamented with iron rivets and a wrought-iron grille is set within. Pierced plaster grilles flank the entrance, concealing leaded bottle-glass casements that light the foyer. At the second story, the tower is ringed by a band of divided-light casement windows set within segmental arches. These are set above a band of colorful tiles integrated into the architectural design. The arches are supported by short, engaged Corinthian colonnettes atop a tiled parapet. The stucco cladding at the colonnettes features a circle relief pattern. The Spencer Street façade is lively and varied. A covered patioenclosed by a low stucco-clad wall is adjacent to the round tower. The patio is accessed from the inside by French doors set within a deep plaster arch. It extends beneath the arcade to the west, which connects the main body of the house to the two-story garage. The garage features arched wood-paneled doors set within stucco arches supported by square piers that have tiled bases. An overhanging wood sleeping porch supported by heavy wood corbels is at the second floor of the garage. The Central Avenue façade features a small terrace enclosed by a low, crenellated, stucco-clad wall and wood half-height gate. French doors are set within a plaster segmental arch edged with decorative tile. Above and adjacent is a wood balcony supported by wood corbels. The interior courtyard is enclosed on three sides and features a brick-and-stucco fountain and two outdoor fireplaces. Sets of French doors open into the courtyard at the first floor. Prominent beam ends project from the walls, supporting the slight overhang of the second floor. A wood balcony with a simple balustrade overlooks the courtyard. At the rear of the house, a small addition was made on top of an original one-story projection sometime in the mid-1940s. The addition has stucco cladding and a tile roof matching the original. A flat-roofed patio cover supported by narrow wood posts and beams now runs across this rear façade, just below the level of the 1940s addition, but apparently built later. A now-unused door in the addition’s wall suggests there was once a different structure, perhaps


a balcony or deck, at this location. The glazed door and an adjacent window are now completely painted over; staff is recommending a Mills Act condition to repair these features and remove the exterior paint from the glass. The basement is partially below grade and is lit with rectangular single-light windows that appear to be replacements. The basement door is set within a stucco embrasure and covered with a short gabled roof. Fenestration throughout the house, with the noted exceptions, consists of divided-light wood casement windows. Some of the windows are deeply recessed to give the walls the appearance of heavy masonry. Many are covered by wrought-iron grilles or balconets supported by scroll brackets. Other character-defining features include painted wood gates with ring pulls, decorative wrought-iron light fixtures, and a fountain featuring a terra cotta niche and basin. It is uncertain if the work at the fountain is original, but it is appropriate to the appearance and character of the house and staff recommends that it be returned to operation. The property als features lush landscaping throughout, including mature palms, flowering trees, and shaped bushes. Alterations and Integrity In 1948, the Los Angeles County Assessor recorded a rear second-story addition estimated to have been built in 1944. The addition was a 144-square foot sunroom clad with stucco. It was covered by a flat composition roof, which seems to have since been replaced to match the pitch and cladding of the rest of the wing. The addition left a slightly visible notch in the roofline and a scar in the stucco, visually indicating that it was added at a later date. The painted-over door at the addition indicates that it must have opened onto a balcony or terrace, but permit research yielded little information. It is clear, however, that the patio cover below the addition is not the original structure that the door opened out to. The permit history includes a worksheet dated 1942 for the construction of a new porch. Staff speculates that this may be the structure later replaced by the current patio cover at the rear. It extends beyond the length of the structure and is covered with a flat composition roof. Other additions include the construction of an oval swimming pool with diving board in 1948, and a ten-foot-high grape arbor in 1928. The chimney tops were rebuilt in 1971 following the Sylmar earthquake, and repaired again in 1996. Findings of Eligibility After reviewing the nomination submitted by the current owner and its supporting documentation, as well as visiting the site, Planning Division staff concludes that the property appears to meet Criterion 3 of the eligibility criteria for listing on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources. Association with Significant Persons [Criterion 2] The nomination suggests that the property is significant for its association with the original owner, Eugene Weaver. To meet Criterion 2, a property must “be associated with a person, persons, or groups who significantly contributed to the history of the nation, state, region, or


city.” Weaver made significant contributions to the business operations of Joannes Brothers Corporation and Ben-Hur Coffee, but there is not enough information in the nomination to suggest that this work raises his association with the house to the level of significance called for in Criterion 2. Though it has been stated in publications that Weaver invented the drip coffee system, research has yielded no definitive proof beyond Ben-Hur’s own advertisements. Furthermore, there is no information in the nomination that allows for this achievement to be examined in a broader context. Architectural Significance [Criterion 3] To meet Criterion 3, a property must “embody the distinctive and exemplary characteristics of an architectural style, architectural type, period, or method of construction; or represent a notable work of a master designer, builder or architect whose genius influenced his or her profession; or possess high artistic values.” 1411 North Central Avenue is an excellent and unusual example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style in Glendale. Like Sherwood’s other works, it bears picturesque elements that set it apart from other more traditional examples of the style. The house’s exaggerated proportions and whimsical details were probably influenced by Hollywood set design. It has an appealing rustic quality enhanced by excellent craftsmanship and materials. The repetition of certain elements such as the decorative tilework, wrought-iron detailing, wood gates, and wood paneling of the doors are indicative of Sherwood’s high attention to detail. These elements integrate in a harmonious way that gives the home its unique and fanciful architectural character. With the exception of the changes at the rear of the house, 1411 North Central Avenue retains a high degree of historic integrity and original design intent. The work at the second-story addition is of comparable quality and matches the design of the rest of the house. Staff Determination Pursuant to Section 15.20.050 of the Glendale Municipal Code, staff has determined that the property at 1411 North Central Avenue appears eligible for listing in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources under Criterion 3 based on the above findings. Recommended Action by the Historic Preservation Commission Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission recommend to the City Council that the property at 1411 North Central Avenue be designated as a historic resource in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources based on the findings identified in the staff determination. Staff also suggests that the Historic Preservation Commission recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a Mills Act contract with the property owners, with conditions as noted above and any others the Commission feels appropriate to enhance the historic character and integrity of the property,


Recommended Mill Act Conditions Staff recommends that the Commission consider applying the following conditions if it supports designation and entry into a Mill Act contract:

Repair deteriorated wood window and door at second floor. Remove existing paint from all glass. Paint sash and sill to match the other windows and doors on the house. If it is necessary for the glass to remain opaque, in may be back-painted.

Paint vent at roof above garage to better match the color of the roof tiles

Restore courtyard fountain to operating condition.

7. ARCHITECTURAL STYLE, INCLUDING ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS AND CHARACTER DEFINING FEATURES (Continuation)

This is a two-story residence built in an asymmetrical "U" shape around a central south-facing courtyard. The walls are clad in wide expanses of undulating plaster, with a round battered tower at the northeast corner to mark the entrance. The arched paneled and metal-studded entry door is set within a larger deep-set plaster arch framed by decorative tiles. Pierced plaster grilles to either side conceal leaded bottle-glass casements that light the entrance hall. Above, the tower is ringed by a band of casement windows set within segmental arches, supported on squat engaged colonettes resting on a parapet with a continuous band of Moorish-influenced tiles. The roof, a combination of gables and hipped peaks, is clad in clay barrel tiles, with exposed rafter tails at the shallow projecting eaves. The windows are primarily wood casements, set within deep plaster embrasures. Other character-defining details include mission-style buttresses, plaster window hoods, wrought-iron window grilles and balconettes, and an arcaded colonnade linking the house to the attached garage. The two -story garage features arched doors and an overhanging wood sleeping porch resembling an Islamic balcony. The interior courtyard, overlooked by three facades of the second story (one of which includes a wooden balcony), features a fountain and two outdoor fireplaces.

1411 NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE

GLENDALE

Style: Spanish Colonial Revival

Year of Completion: 1927

Original Building Permit: #18316, issued by the City of Glendale on March 1, 1927 for a twostory, nine-room dwelling and garage. The house, to measure approximately 53 by 58.5 feet, would have a concrete foundation, plaster walls, a tiled roof, and two chimneys with three flues.

A copy of this pennit is attached.

Cost to Build: $18,000-a significant amount for a new house at the time.

Architect: Benjamin (Ben) W. Sherwood, Los Angeles. Please see the attached biographical information on this talented architect, known for his artistic, and sometimes theatrical, Period Revival designs.

Builder and First Owner: Eugene L. Weaver, a business executive, who owned all of Tract 9819 until 1928. He retained ownership of Lots 1, 2 and 3 after that year, giving him almost 166 feet of frontage along Central Avenue. In 1932, title passed to Ida A. Kiefner, but Mr. Weaver re-assumed ownership later that year. He shared the house with his wife Sarah C. Weaver, his adult son Frederick, and his elderly mother Mary A. Weaver.

Eugene Lewis Weaver was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi on November 30, 1876, but had lived in Glendale since 1888. As a young man he was an expert bicycle racer and, at age 18, was recognized as the youngest contestant in the Roamers' Road Club races. His first employment was as a grocery salesman. Mrs. Weaver was born Sarah C. Mojonnier in Greenville, Illinois of French parents on October 19, 1877. She arrived in Southern California in 1887. She married her husband in 1900. They would have two sons: Frederick Eugene (1901-1984) and Charles Elwin (1903-1993). The latter would become a successful Glendale landscaping contractor.

In 1910, the family was living at Ballona (now Marina de! Rey) while Mr. Weaver worked as a traveling salesman for a coffee company. At the time his Glendale house was built, Mr. Weaver was sales manager of the Joannes Corporation of Los Angeles, a wholesale tea, coffee, and spice merchant located at 800 Traction Avenue. He was also vice-president and executive general manager of the Ben Hur Coffee Company and is given credit for inventing the drip coffee system. Mr. Weaver continued to work in the wholesale food business for the remainder of his career. He was active in the Los Angeles Advertising Club.

Mrs. Weaver died at age 85 on December 5, 1962. Her husband survived her by just over two years, passing away on Janumy 7, 1965, age 88. Their newspaper obituaries are attached. Also attached is a biographical article from the Glendale Community Book about their son Charles which also mentions his parents.

Other Building Permits: A permit was issued in September 1928 for the construction of a 25-by-45-foot grape arbor, set on concrete piers. The cost was estimated at $300. The work was to be done by "day work" carpenters.

In August 1942, a porch was to be constructed for $400. G. F. Sproul was the contractor.

Permission to construct a 17-by-34-foot gunite swimming pool on the property was granted in May 1948. The Paddock Engineering Company of Los Angeles was the contractor for this project, estimated to cost $2,500.

Copies of the above permits are attached.

A 30,000-BTU wall heater was installed in August 1960.

In June 1961, a 33,000-BTU wall furnace was to be installed.

A new sewer-line was installed in May 1967.

In September 1971 two chimney-tops were to be rebuilt for $600.

The house and garage were re-roofed in April 1980 for $7,930. The old tile was to be re-used.

A living-room chimney was repaired for $500, according to a pennit issued in July 1996.

Two more re-roofing jobs occurred: one in November 2001 costing $3,500 and the other in December 2010 for $4,007.

(Note: Permits for very minor alterations, such as water heater replacement, are not included. Also not included are permits missing from the file or whose microfilmed or digital copies are indecipherable and not otherwise recorded or described in Assessor's records.)

Assessor's Records: The Los Angeles County Assessor first visited the property on October 3, 1927 and recorded a newly-completed single two-story residence with a concrete foundation, stucco walls, a flat and hipped gabled roof covered in composition material, and tile and wrought-iron trim. Heat was provided by three fireplaces and a gas furnace with nine openings. There were nineteen "good"-quality plumbing fixtures. Lighting fixtures were also rated "good." Plaster was the primary interior finish. Tln·ee rooms had open-beamed ceilings and one was paneled in wood. The house had a total of nine hardwood floors. A refrigerator and bookshelves were built-in.

The Assessor estimated the square footage at 4,597. On the first floor were an entry hall with a tile floor, tln·ee living rooms (one was probably a dining room), one batln·oom, a kitchen with a tile drainboard, and a breakfast room. The second floor contained a hall, one living room, four bedrooms, tln·ee tiled batln·ooms (one with a separate shower), and a kitchen. There was also a 1,727-square-foot basement that was 3 feet deep. Adjacent to the house was a cement terrace with a wall fountain and a fireplace. The attached 20-by-24-foot garage had stucco walls, "patent" lifting doors, and a plastered interior. The garage had an apartment on its second floor.

In 1928, the Assessor noted the completion of a 1,125-square-foot arbor and 125 linear feet of 5-foot heavy-wire fencing mounted on steel posts.

On a visit on November 8, 1948, the Assessor "discovered" a 144-square-foot second-story sun room added to the side of the house. It had wood-frame walls and a flat composition roof. Its interior finishes were plaster, putty, and plain woodwork. The Assessor estimated it had been built in 1944. Construction quality was "good."

On the same day, the Assessor recorded a new oval-shaped 1,530-square-foot inverted-dome swimming pool with a diving board, ladder, marine light, and heater. It was surrounded by one foot of flagstone trim and cement decking. Adjacent to it were forty feet of six-inch concreteblock wall, six feet high.

The Los Angeles County Assessor currently estimates the square footage of the house at 4,519, with four bedrooms and five bathrooms. Copies of the Assessor's building records are attached.

Other Owners and Residents: Mr. Weaver sold his home in September 1938 to John M. Erickson, who lived there with his wife Nola B. Erickson. Mr. Erickson was an attorney and executive director of the Glendale Community Chest.

Walter Burton Mmiin and his wife Barbara B. Mmiin assumed ownership in June 1960. Mr. Martin was associated with Burt Martin Associates as a producer.

In January 1965, title passed to William H. and Joy K. Abshire. Mr. Abshire was an employee of the Phillips Radio Corporation. In the 1970s, he worked as a sales engineer for Collins Radio.

Mrs. Abshire was the proprietor of her own marketing development firm known as Brand Ideas

Unlimited.

John G. and Jolene R. Donohue became the owners in May 1976. Mrs. Donohue was recorded as the sole trnstee owner in August 1997. Mr.Donohue was associated with the Angeles Oxygen Equipment company.

Jose Chavez and Frances Murrietta Chavez have been the owners since July 1999.

Notes: The Weaver house is mentioned in Gebhard and Winter's guidebook to architecture in Los Angeles. They described it as "a faity-tale castle with a lovely tile band wrapped around the tower." A copy of the entty is attached.

The house was featured in the 1966 Hoover High School PTA "Tour of Holiday Hornes." It was given the name "La Posada Abierta (The Open Inn)." A newspaper photograph of tour backers, including Mrs. Abshire, is attached.

The Glendale Historical Society's 2012 Fall Home Tour ("Glendale's Golden Age: Distinctive Hornes of the 1920s and 1930s") included the Weaver house. Copies of the printed program and the docent notes are attached. They include a detailed physical description of the house.

Significance: The Weaver house is potentially eligible for listing on a local invento1y of significant properties, due to its fine design, good state of preservation, and its contribution to the architectural and historical context of its Central A venue neighborhood.

Sherwood was a talented designer remembered for his rather whimsical and theatrical English and Spanish Colonial Revival residences created in the 1920s throughout the Los Angeles area. He was born in Indiana around 1901. By 1913, the family (he had six siblings) had moved to Glendale where Benjamin's father worked as a real estate agent. Little is known about Benjamin Sherwood's academic training. He married his Iowa-born wife Lois around 1923 and began advertising his services as both a designer and builder with an office at 313 South Brand Blvd. Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood also lived in Glendale at 423 Ross. By 1927, they were living at 734 South Spaulding Avenue in Los Angeles with later addresses at 847 South Genesee Street and 2345 Talmadge Street. Mr. Sherwood was probably a building designer and not a certified architect, although he did advertise himself as an "architect" in the 1930 Los Angeles directory. That year's census, however, identified him as a "building contractor." By 1940, he was living with his second wife on Division Street in Los Angeles.

Beginning in 1926, advertisements began to appear in the Los Angeles Times announcing houses for sale which Mr. Sherwood had designed and built on speculation. He was only in his mid-twenties at that point. "Decorations, fixtures, hardware, everything has been carried out in perfect detail" enthused one ad for a house at 756 South Ogden Drive which Mr. She1wood called "the most original and individual Spanish type home in Los Angeles." The designer evidently strove for authenticity and the harmonious blend of elements in his period revival designs. To encourage an exclusive clientele, he favored the inclusion oflarge living rooms and master bedrooms and "unusual" enclosed courtyards. Another of his houses at 853 South Spaulding Avenue was adve1tised in late 1926 as "a real old English farm-house type" to which no other Los Angeles home could be compared in its workmanship, "expert labor," and use of fine materials. Another Norman-style house at 930 South Ogden Drive was said in 1927 to have resulted from "an enormous amount oflabor and study on the part of the architect and builder." One of his well-known apartment houses is the Sherwood Apartments at 3429 Rowena.

Other buildings attributed to Ben Sherwood's design and construction, but which he did not own, include: the John G. Mott residence at the now-vanished Crags Counhy Club near Calabasas-a 1930 Early California adobe featured in Architectural Digest magazine; Disney Court, a collection of "storybook-style" comtyard apartments built next to the Disney Studios at 2906 Griffith Park Blvd. in 1931, said to be the inspiration for the home of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the cartoon of the same name; and two Spanish Colonial Revival residences in Glendale: a romantic house for Eugene L. Weaver at 1411 N01th Central Avenue (1927) and the Fred W. Gray house at 1345 Cordova Street-a majestic and ornate hillside structure (1928).

Ben Sherwood's name does not appear in the California Death Index, indicating he died outside the state.

This imposing Spanish Colonial Revival-style house was built in 1927 by the property owner, Eugene L. Weaver, the Executive General Manager of the Ben Hur Coffee Company and the inventor of the drip coffee system. The house was designed by Benjamin W. Sherwood, a Los Angeles designer and builder who was active from the mid-192os into the early 1930s. Sherwood is .-emembered for the theatricality and flair with which he imbued his various Period Revival-style designs. His best-known work is Disney Court, a Storybook-style bungalow court on Griffith Park Avenue in Los i='eliz. Built in 1931 next door to the property that then housed the Walt Disney Studios, this whimsical fantasy of an apartment complex is rumored to have inspired the Disney animators in their design of the dwarfs' cottage in the studio's 1937 classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Sherwood's only other known work in Glendale is another Spanish Colonial Revival-style home, the Gray-Sherwood House (Glendale Historic Resource #90.)

The two-story Weaver Residence is built in an asymmetrical "U" shape around a central south-Facing courtyard patio, a typically romantic feature of Spanish revival design in Southern California. The walls are clad in wide expanses of undulating plaster, with a round, battered tower at the north-east corn~r to mark the entrance. The massive, paneled entry door is set within a deep plaster arch framed by decorative tiles; pierced plaster grilles to either side conceal leaded bottle-glass casements that light the entrance hall. Above, the tower is ringed by a band of casement windows set within segmental arches, supported on squat engaged colonetles resting on a tiled parapet. The multi-level roof is a combination of gables and sheds clad in clay barrel tiles, with exposed rafter tails at the shallow projecting eaves. The windows are primarily wood casements, set within deep plaster embrasures to make the walls look like heavy masonry. The house sports many fine details that are typical character-defining features of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, including mission-style buttresses, plaster window hoods, wrought iron window grille~ and balconettes, and an arcaded corredor linking the house to the attached garage. The two-story garage features .erched doors and an overhanging wood sleeping porch derived from the Islamic mushrabiyeh, the carved, screened balconies imported to Andalusia by the Moors.

Inside, the circular entrance hall is floored with patterned terracotta tiles and crowned with a beamed and stenciled ceiling; a tiled staircase with a delicate wrought-iron railing spills into the room from the second floor above. Deep plaster arches frame a vista through the living room, with its beamed and stenciled ceiling and oak peg-and-groove floor, to the hooded plaster fireplace in the library beyond. All of the principal ground-floor rooms open onto the central courtyard through wide t=rench doors - living room, library, breakfast room, and dining room (which also opens onto a second patio at the north side of the house) -naturally ventilating the house and creating the indoor-outdoor flow that is essential to Southern California living. The second-floor master suite occupies a wing of its own, accessed through an arched wood door and a vaulted passage. The large bedroom features i=rench doors leading to two balconies, one on the street side and one overlooking the courtyard patio. The adjacent circular gym occupies the top floor of the entrance tower, and the master bathroom retains its original ceramic tile floor and wainscot.

In 1932 Weaver and his wife Sarah purchased another significant Glendale home, now known as the Lombardi House (Glendale Historic Resource •61), where they lived until 1936. Their son, C.I;. Weaver, was a successful landscape contractor and built the Storybook cottage located at 228 Spencer Street, the courtyard of which is also featured on today's tour.

MILLS ACT CONTRACT Mills Act Property Tax Reduction Contracts are only available for owners of properties listed on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources. Applications can be processed concurrently with Glendale Register nominations or Independently for properties already listed on the Register. Contact the Historic Preservation Planner at (818) 548-2140 for further information.

Case No. ------

The deadline for submitting an application for a Mills Act contract is July 31st due to the amount of time involved to process and to ensure recordation by December 31st. Applications will be accepted after that date; however, the Planning Department cannot guarantee that the contract will be recorded by year's end but will make all efforts to do so.

Please submit $1,362.00 application fee, payable to "City of Glendale,'' with this application.

Note: Glendale's Mills Act program policy is expected to change in 2013. Contact the Preservation Planner at the number noted above to discuss the changes being considered before submitting your application.
