RE: Casa Grande Motel, Historic Resource Evaluation ;'`r 0 5 'i)Ll4
Dear Mr. White:
At the regUest of the City of Petaluma, Carey & Co. has undertaken a Historic Resource
Evaluation of the property at 307 Petaluma Boulevard South, the Casa Grande Motel. The
evaluation is based on archival research undertaken at the Petaluma Museum, the History Room
Of the Petaluma Regional Library, review of previous historic resource surveys, and permit
records from the City of Petaluma. In addition, Carey & Co. conducted a site visit on April 15,
`004 to observe, evaluate, and photograph the resource. Both DPR Primary Record and
Building, Structure and Object Record forms were completed to record our findings and
Conc lllSil �n5.
Previous historic resource surveys of the Central Petaluma area including, the 1976 Dan
Peterson survey and the Central Petaluma Specific Plan, Chapter 9, Historic Preservation
Matrix, compiled by Carey and Co. in 2001, have either not addressed the property at 307
Petaluma Boulevard South or have assigned the property a NRHP Status Code of 6Z.
Carey & Co. concurs with the previous findings and has assigned the property at 307 Petaluma
Boulevard South a NRHP Status Code of 6Z, which indicates, in our professional opinion, that
the property is ineligible for either the California Register of Historic Resources or the National
Register of Historic Places. We found that the property does possess historic significance at the
local level under Criterion C for the building's expression of the Streamline Moderne
architectural style. However, we find that the building's design integrity has been so far
compromised that it is rendered ineligible for listing on either Register.
For the property to be designated locally as a City of Petaluma Landmark, the property owner
woul hav to formally submit an application to the City Council as per Article 17 of the
Zoning Ordinance, Preservation of the Cultural and Historic Environment. This application
would have to justify the designation by recommending that the property maintains special

The single -story U- shaped building at 307 Petaluma Boulevard South stands mid -block facing south
between E and F Streets. The encompassing areas are generally commercial to the south, residential to the
west, and industrial to the north and east. The Casa Grande Motel surrounds an asphalt -paved parking
with a central entrance flanked by two partial height concrete masonry unit walls at the sidewalk.
Constructed of concrete masonry units, the building is separated by a twelve -foot wide central breezeway
at the north end. The east L- shaped section is twenty feet wide and 150 feet long. The west L- shaped
portion is twenty feet wide and 125 feet long with a thirty- feet - wide -by- fifty- feet -long owner's apartment
and office at the south end. Painted, smooth - finished plaster coats the masonry walls at the primary
elevations. The secondary, rear elevations are only partially plastered. Built -up composite roofing protects
the building's flat roof. (See Continuation Sheet)

The southeast portion of the building houses the owner's office and apartment. The south and west
elevations of this segment feature several recessed wall planes tied together by an original, flat, streamline
canopy that is rounded at the north and south ends. The building corners and opening surrounds are
curved, not angular, below the canopy. A small yard occupies the area south of the office to the partial
height wall and a raised, painted concrete porch with steps at either end provides access to the two
southern, wood doors at the west elevation. Fluorescent lights mounted to the canopy illuminate the
porch. Two original aluminum windows, one flanked by glass blocks, punctuate the south elevation. A
non - original metal canopy protects the westernmost window on the south elevation. Four replacement
aluminum windows pierce the west elevation. A second painted concrete stair leads to a flush wood door
in an angled wall flanked by aluminum sliders. A recessed vertical wood panel pierced by a flush wood
door stands at the northern end of the west elevation completing the owner's building portion.
The guest units feature three primary elevations facing the interior parking lot. These simple painted
plaster elevations are punctuated by flush wood doors and replacement aluminum sliding windows in
openings with curved edges. Individual air conditioning units pierce the wall at each room below the
windows. A hipped, asphalt shingle -clad canopy protects the concrete walkway in front of the guest
rooms. Modern wall - mounted globe light fixtures illuminate the entries. The central breezeway opens to a
view of Second Street.
The side elevations and the rear, Second Street elevation lack the same articulation as the primary facades.
The masonry walls are painted to the window headers and plastered above. All edges are formed with
curved masonry units and rectangular vents penetrate the wall above the windows. Steel grates cover the
windows facing and closest to Second Street. Metal flashing caps the parapet and metal downspouts
provide drainage. This section of the property is less well kept, with overgrown weeds and areas of
graffiti.
The building is Streamline Modeme in style which is illustrated by several of the architectural elements.
The features that lend to the architectural style include the rounded corners, the cantilevered awning at the
office, and the smooth exterior finish. Although the steel post mounted motel signage is in keeping with
the Modeme style, it is a replacement from the original signage which also incorporated a 'vacancy' sign
atop the canopy.

Background
*Date: Anri�l 2004 l] Continuation ❑ Update
307 Petaluma Boulevard South occupies the middle of a block bounded by Petaluma Boulevard South
(formerly Third Street), E and F Streets, and Second Street. A Sanborn Fire Insurance map indicates that a
number of residential structures occupied this block in 1910, however the 307 site remained undeveloped.'
The 1923 Sanborn map shows the further subdivision of the residential block and the Petaluma Electric
Incubator Company on the 307 parcel." According to the local telephone directory the Petaluma Electric
Incubator Company relocated to East D Street circa 1935 and the Kresky Manufacturing Co., Inc. was listed
at 307 Third Street in 1944. "' The opening of the Casa Grande Motel was announced in June 1948 in the
Petaluma Argics- Courier. Mr. and Mrs. Chris L. Petersen from Corvallis, Oregon moved to Petaluma to
build the Casa Grande Motel after spending twenty years in the fruit and lumber business." It is unclear
what happened to the Petersens, but the August 1948 local telephone directory lists Clyde and Sarah
Callaway as the owners and proprietors." The 1949 Sanborn map shows the motel with its current U-
shaped plan, and lists the building as having twenty -four units."' The motel has had a several owners over
its fifty-six year life span. The Callaways ran the Casa Grande through 1960. The next year Alfred F.
Rodrigues is listed as its proprietor °" Permit records dated 1965 -1966 indicate that Robert H. and Yvonne
Mauzey, the subsequent owners, replaced the individual awnings with a continuous canopy above the
guest units, installed kitchenettes and conference rooms, and enlarged the owner's apartment." "' Rene and
Antoinette Comensoli next owned the motel, but only for one year in 1972. The current owner,
Niranjanbhai Patel, has run the business since 1973.' The Casa Grande Motel still serves as a tourist
lodging for downtown Petaluma.
Evaluation Criteria
National Register Bulletin Number 15, How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation, describes
the Criteria for Evaluation as being composed of two factors. First, the property must be "associated with
an important historic context. "" The National Register identifies four possible context types, of which at
least one must be applicable at the national, state, or local level. As listed under Section 8, "Statement of
Significance," of the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form, these are:
"A. Property is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the
broad patterns of our history.
"B. Property is associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.
"C. Property embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of
construction or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values, or
represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual
distinction.
"D. Property has yielded, or is likely to yield, information important to prehistory or
history. " "
Second, for a property to qualify under the National Register's Criteria for Evaluation, it must also retain
"historic integrity of those features necessary to convey its significance. " "" While a property's significance

relates to its role within a specific historic context, its integrity refers to "a property's physical features and
how they relate to its significance. " "" To determine if a property retains the physical characteristics
corresponding to its historic context, the National Register has identified seven aspects of integrity. These
are:
"Location is the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the
historic event occurred...
"Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style
of a property...
"Setting is the physical environment of a historic property...
"Materials is the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular
period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property...
"Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during
any given period in history or prehistory...
"Feeling is a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of
time...
"Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic
property.
Since integrity is based on a property's significance within a specific historic context, an evaluation of a
property's integrity can only occur after historic significance has been established."
California Office of Historic Preservation's Technical Assistance Series #6, California Register and National
Register: A Comparison, outlines the differences between the federal and state processes. The context types
to be used when establishing the significance of a property for listing on the California Register are very
similar, with emphasis on local and state significance. They are:
"1. It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad
patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United
States; or
"2. It is associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national
history; or
'3. It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or
represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values; or
"4. It has yielded, or is likely to yield, information important to prehistory or history of the
local area, California, or the nation. ""'

Like the NRHP, evaluation for eligibility to the California Register requires an establishment of historic
significance before integrity is considered. California's integrity threshold is slightly lower than the federal
level. As a result, some resources that are historically significant but do not meet NRHP integrity
standards may be eligible for listing on the California Register."
California's list of special considerations is shorter and more lenient than the NRHP. It includes some
allowances for moved buildings, structures, or objects, as well as lower requirements for proving the
significance of resources that are less than 50 years old and a more elaborate discussion of the eligibility of
reconstructed buildings."" "'
In addition to separate evaluations for eligibility to the California Register, the state will automatically list
resources if they are listed or determined eligible for the NRHP through a complete evaluation process.'
The local register relevant to this historic resource evaluation is Petaluma's list of city landmarks. The city
government has formally adopted the CRHR criteria with emphasis on local significance for use in
determining local landmark status.
Findings
Carey & Co. has assigned the property at 307 Petaluma Boulevard South a NRHP Status Code of 6Z, which
indicates, in our opinion, that the property is ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places.' The
motel possess historical significance at the local level, however its lack of integrity deems the property
ineligible for individual listing in the NRHP. Because the property is over 50 years old and is not one of
the property types that are generally automatically disqualified from listing on the NRHP, this property
has been evaluated under the standard National Register Criteria for Evaluation.
It is also our opinion that the property does not possess sufficient integrity and is therefore not eligible for
individual listing on the California Register of Historic Resources. The property has not been
automatically listed on the CRHR because it is not listed on the NRHP and has not been determined
individually eligible through a complete evaluation process. As a result, this property has been evaluated
under the standard state criteria.
Criterion A (NRHP) / 1 (CRHR): The property at 307 Petaluma Boulevard South is not associated with
events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history. A clear connection
between 307 Petaluma Boulevard South and events that have made a significant contribution in our past
was not found during Carey & Co.'s research (see bibliographic references).
Criterion B (NRHP) / 2 (CRHR): The property at 307 Petaluma Boulevard South is not associated with the
lives of persons significant in our past. A clear connection between 307 Petaluma Boulevard South and a
person significant in our past was not found during Carey & Co.'s research (see bibliographic references).
Criterion C (NRHP) / 3 (CRHR): The property at 307 Petaluma Boulevard South, exhibits some
characteristics of the Streamline Moderne style, and once embodied the distinctive characteristics of a type
and period, but not a distinctive method of construction. The property does not represent the work of a
master, possess high artistic values, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose
components lack individual distinction. The U- shaped plan organized around a parking lot is a distinctive

characteristic of the roadside commercial vernacular that was popular in the late 1940s and 1950s. This
architectural type was designed for the convenience of the driver and to address the new issues emerging
from an automobile culture.'` The development of the auto court and motel as an architectural type
responded to the "widespread availability and ownership of the auto." As the automobile grew in
popularity, so did the evolution of a roadside commercial vernacular.'" The motel was constructed at
Third Street, now Petaluma Boulevard South, which was a primary city thoroughfare until the freeway
entered Petaluma in 1956." At the building's intial completion, the design embodied the Streamline
Modeme style with features such as, horizontal lines, canopies, neon signs, and clean flat surfaces. Some
architectural details including the metal canopy over the office, the flat roof, low height, and the rounded
corners, still reference the original architectural style. Therefore, the property has significance under
Criterion C at the local level.
Criterion D (NRHP) / 4 (CRHR): The property at 307 Petaluma Boulevard South has not yielded, nor is it
likely to yield, information important to prehistory or history. While this criterion is generally applied to
archeological resources, it applies to any building, structure, or object whose physical fabric itself can be
considered an artifact. The 307 Petaluma Boulevard South property contains no visually - observable,
above - ground elements whose physical fabric includes unique materials, provides information on special
building techniques, or has the potential to provide information about our past.
Integrity
After the historic significance has been established, the building's integrity must be assessed. For a
property to qualify as historically significant under the National Register's Criteria for Evaluation, it must
retain "historic integrity of those features necessary to convey its significance. " The California Register
of Historical Resources maintain a similar definition of integrity, while provided for a slightly lower
threshold than the National Register. While a property's significance relates to its role within a specific
historic context, its integrity refers to "a property's physical features and how they relate to its
significance. "x To determine if a property retains the physical characteristics corresponding to its historic
context, the National and California Registers have identified seven aspects of integrity. These aspects are
design; location; workmanship; association; feeling; setting; and materials. —i The Casa Grande Motel must
exhibit sufficent retention primarily in the aspect of design in order to be judged in refemce to the
established Criterion C.
Design
Although most of the original plan footprint remains unchanged, several essential design features have
been altered. The original signs were removed. A new sign of similar design replaced the main signage at
the street. The streamline, curved canopies over the guest room entries were replaced by a continuous
hipped -roof awning, that is not in keeping with the Modeme style. New windows and doors occupy
almost all of the openings. The original lighting has been exchanged for modern globes and fluorescents,
and individual air conditioning units now penetrate the wall of each room. Most significantly, an angled
addition was constructed at the north end of the owner's apartment, infilling a portion of the area below
the main canopy and breaking the rectilinear relationship of all the building elements. Permit records
indicate that the motel interior has been renovated and reconfigured several times, including the addition
of kitchenettes. The alteration to and the removal of fundamental design elements renders the building
unable to convey its significance.

The Casa Grande Motel remains at its original location, facing Petaluma Boulevard South. The boulevard
is still a main artery for the historic downtown, but the primary flow of traffic now bypasses this route via
the freeway. The relationship between the motel and Petaluma Boulevard South has been maintained.
However, Petaluma Boulevard South no longer serves its original role as the singular route through
Petaluma. Therefore, the Motel no longer address the majority of travelers through the area.
Workmanship
The workmanship from the late 1940s is evident in the buildings clean lines and smooth finish. It was an
age of industrialization and mass production, which the motel reveals in it simple construction.
Association
The motel does retain its association with automobile, as guests may park directly in front of their rooms.
Feeling
The Streamline Moderne style and feeling of the industrial age are only somewhat revealed through the
remaining elements of the motel, such as the plan shape and proximity to the street. Several character
defining features have been lost, thereby diminishing the overall feeling of the property.
Setting
The motel's relationship to the surrounding buildings and streets is similar to that at it initial construction.
The primary difference is that much of the surrounding residential has been converted to commercial,
including the house just west of the Casa Grande. In addition two partial height concrete masonry unit
walls now flank the entrance to the motel parking lot, separating the property from the sidewalk.
Materials
Most of the primary material remains at the Casa Grande. The walls are still constructed of plaster -clad
concrete masonry units. Alterations to the building's materials include, the replacement of metal canopies
with a wood frame, asphalt shingle -clad awning, and the infill of a wall segment with vertical board.
In conclusion, the Casa Grande Motel possesses historic significance at the local level under Criterion C.
The building must also maintain integrity, as prescribed by the National and California Registers, in order
to be found eligible for either the California or National Register. Carey & Co. does not believe that the
property exhibits sufficient integrity in the primary area of design. Therefore, we have assigned the
property at 307 Petaluma Boulevard South a NRHP Status Code of 6Z, which indicates, in our opinion,
that the property is ineligible for the California or National Register
