Historic Preservation

Examples of Previous DRC Projects

Bassler & Haynes Building, 35-39 E Santa Clara (1876, remodeled 1936)
Carson-Riley Drug/Beach Building, 43-49 E. Santa Clara (1887, remodeled 1925)


The original project proposed the combination of the two original structures into one building with new cement plaster, replacement windows and window locations and addition of new cornice, frieze, architrave, plaster details, and marble columns.

At the August, 2002 DRC meeting, committee members recommended maintaining the unique historic fabric (original buttons across parapet, parapet height and cornice location, original storefront opening and column locations, windows and 1930's modern elements) of the two facades rather than removing and replacing historic fabric to create one building.

The architects worked to design a project that reads as two distinct historic structures.
