A one and one-half story French Eclectic Style residence, irregular in plan, resting on a concrete foundation. The exterior well

cladding is a combination of granite masonry in a rubble pattern on the building envelope, vertical board-and-batten and horizontal

wood siding in a sea wave pattern in the gable ends, and a glazed gallery wall toward the west end of the NEskfe-elevation.

The complex roof system includes a steeply pitched hipped main roof, with lower, stepped gable bays projecting SE off the east end

of the NE side of the SE facing facade. The lowest bay is an attached garage. with a vertically planked sliding wood door A Hipped

lower projecting bay also projects SE oft the south end of the SW side elevation. This feature may be a later 1935) addition. The

flanking bays frame the open, raised front porch which has two square stone piers further supporting the root overhang. The

principal entry is on the SW sloe of the recessed porch, being an arched, flush wood Dutch-door with small glazed panels above. It

is accessed by a straight run of open stone steps. The rear NW) elevation is characterized bya large, gabled waif domier centered

in the building envelope, flanked on the north by a sweeping extension of the hipped main roof that form a covering over an open

porch along the north side of this elevation, and an enclosed glazed gallery running pfparttallyalong the NE side-elevation. Thick,

square wood posts with cruck-shaped brackets support the overhanging roof on both the open porch and enclosed gallery.

The Louise G. Rose House is significant under California Register Criterion 1, in the area of history in the context of early

residential development in the Cannel Highlands, and under Criterion 3, in the area of architecture as an excellent example of the

French Eclectic Style, and as an important design by Carmel architect Earl Percy Parkes.

Earl Percy Parkes 1884-1955), was a native of Ohio, where he received a good business education in the public school system.

He worked for a time as excursion agent for a railroad line, that brought him to Los Angeles In 1911. He entered law school at

UCLA, but left his studies to enter the building trades. He worked as a contractor in L.A. prior to moving to Carmel in 1919. He

was well known for his commercial work including the Stucco Theater and the Seven Arts Bldg, as well as a number of residential

designs, including the memorable moon-,gated De Haas Hse. on Mtn. View He worked primarily in the romantic revival styles, but

did rustic Carmel cottages as well His work is characterized by its clean lines and attention to detail Parkes Rose House is an

excellent example of the picturesque French Revival Style The style became popular in the immediate aftermath of WVilf, where

many Americans had served in France, becoming familiar with the building forms, especially those in the countryside. The Rose

house is an example of the asymmetrical substyde of the mode. Identifying features of the style include steeply pitched massive

hipped roofs, paralleling the front of the house with off-center doorways and asymmetrical facades. The form was inspired by

rambling French farmhouses and In this casse, a smaller French country manor house. The rubble patterned stone wall cladding Is

a typical exterior finish. Doors in less formal examples, like the Rose house are usually set in simple arched openings. Windows

can be double-hung, of casement type. The latter often have small, leaded panes. Large chimney stacks are also common. Of

interest in the Rose House is the glazed gallery, and stout porch posts with their truck-shaped bracketing, reflective of the

medieval roots of the style.

Recorded by: Kent Seavey Date 4/16/2011 El Continuation  Update

P3(cont.) They rest on a raised wooden deck, that projects beyond the roof line. Two smaller shed-roofed roof dormers, flanking the

large gabled wall dormer are undated additions. The roof plane on the NE side-elevation has a larger shed-roofed dormer, over the

glazed gallery, that is also a later addition. Two modem skylights appear along this elevation, toward the SE. One is on the taller of the

two stepped gable bays, and the second in on the lower garage bay. There are two, tall stucco-clad chimneys present Both are interior

types. One is found just below the roof line of the SE facing main roof, centered on the building envelope, with a large decorative metal

S" roof tie. It is capped by two small clay chimney pats. The second is located in the roof plane on the NE side-elevation at the junction

of the first lower gabled bay. The steep pitched roof system slightly overhangs the eave line, and the entire roof is covered in wood

shakes.

Fenestration is irregular, with a combination of single, paired and banked fixed and casement type wood windows, with pronounced

mullions, set in deep reveals with flattened stone arches, or voussoirs. These are found in the masonry portion of the building envelope.

Some windows are single-paned, others have diamond patlem leaded glass. The wooden gable ends have paired and banked

multi-paned wood casement windows, and the later undated smaller dormers have single and banked single pane wood windows. Three

large cored plate-,glass focal windows, centered on the rear N%4 elevation also appear to be undated later additions. The gallery, along

the NE side-elevation, has five bays of large, square, multi paned fixed lights between the crock bracketed posts, which support the

overhanging flared roof. The last bay, toward the east end of the main building block, abuts a board-and-batten wood wall with much

smaller banked vertical multipaned windows that step up toward the SE.

The guest house, abutting Spindrift Rd about My to seventy-five yards SE of the main residence, was also constructed in 1921, and

shares many similar design features. It is Irregular in plan, resting on a concrete foundation. The exterior wall cladding is a combination

of granite masonry in a nibble pattern on the building envelope, and vertical board-and-batten wood siding on the rear NE) elevation,

and attached wood garage that may represent an undated in fill of former carriage doors and alterations resulting from repeated mud

slides over time). Horizontal wood siding in a rustic sea wave pattern is found on the gable end of the garage addition, as well as in fie

gable apex of a wall dormer on the NWside-elevation, on the gable ends, and a glazed gallery wall toward the west end of the NE

side-elevation- There is a stucco-clad angled bay at the base of an overhanging porch roof on this elevation NWN) that may also

represent a later addition.

The roof system is less complex than the main house. it includes a steeply pitched hipped main roof, with with narrow, closed soffits,

and a lower gabled garage bay projecting off the south end of the SE side-elevation. A gabled wall dormer Is found, slightly offset to the

NE, on the NWside-elevation. Later shed-roofed roof dormers, Ike those found on the rear NW) and NE side-elevations of the main

house appear here as well. There are three of them. One is centered over an open porch on the SW facing facade, a second on the SE

side-elevation, and a larger example on the rear NE) elevation, above the former carriage entry. The roof on this elevation projects

slightly over eave line to cover the board-and-batten woll. As with the main building, the hipped roof extends over an open entry porch

along the SW facing facade. It is supported by heavy square wooden posts with simple corbels at their caps. The posts sit on top of a

slightly raised stone porch, covered in red brick in a basket weave pattern. The curved shape of the corbels are repeated in decorative

detailing running along the top of the main lintel of the porch Interior. There is one large, square interior stucco-clad chimney present It

is centered in the ridge line of the main hipped roof. Of note is the fine flared masonry detailing of the base of the building envelope. This

detail appears in the main residence, but not so pronounced as in the guest house- The principal entry is off the porch, toward the SE

and is characterized by a recessed wood Dutch-door with multi paned glazing above, and cross-braced wood paneling below A raised,

four panel wood door at the SE end of the porch accesses the garage. A simple two panel wood side door, with multi-paned glazed lights

above, is located at the north end of the NWside-elevation. The roof is covered in wood shakes.

Fenestration is irregular, with a combination of single, paired anrj banked fixed and casement We multi-paned wood windows. Those on

the NW and SE elevations have small, square panes, while most facing NE and SE have small diamond patterned panes.

The detached stone masonry two-car garage, just SE of the main residence, was constructed in 1980, and is not part of this analysis.

The property is sited in a natural landscape setting on a large, gently terraced NW sloping parcel, toward the sea cliffs. It is located in a

wooded coastal neighborhood of one and two-story residences of varying ages, sizes and styles.

B10(cont.) Percy Parkes artistic treatment of the Rose House certainly lived up to his craftsman reputation for clean lines and

attention to detail in his work. The comers of his stone wails remain crisp, and flare subtly at their bases, especially in the guest house.

Window casings in the residence are carefully detailed, with stout mullions, and recessed into the stone walls. The flared roof line over

the glazed gallery space is quite sophisticated for the seemingly rustic nature of the building, as is the delicate decorative corbeling in

the porch areas. The 90 year old Rose House appears little altered from its 1921 date of construction. Only close inspection can detect

the deteriorating effects of time and nature in the coastal environment in which it is sited. The wooden elements of the buildings need

considerable attention.

Alterations and additions overtime, while generally undated, have either been well Integrated into the original budding envelope(s) of the

residence and guest house, or relegated to secondary elevations. The residence and its guest house, in their exceptional natural

landscape setting, are excellent examples of the French Eclectic Style of architecture, and secure Earl Percy Parkes reputation as a

major architect in the Monterey region. The buildings evoke a strong sense of time and place and of feeling and association with the

early architectural development of the Carmel Highlands.

Recorded by: Kent Seavey Date 4/16/2011 9 Continuation  Update

B10(cont.) The original owner of the subject property, Mrs. Louise Grout Rose, was a native of Saginaw, Michigan. When she purchased

the Spindrift Rd. property in September of 1920 from the Caramel Villas Co., she was listed as the widow of a Mr. Landon Rose Mo. Co.

Deeds, Reel 782-OR-214). Later on she married Arthur Hill, a former mayor of Saginaw, and a successful businessman in lumber and

shipping. Mrs. Hill outlived her second husband, and in 1936 sold the Spindrift Rd. property to Mr. Lee M. Olds, who at the time was one of

San Francisco's leading attorneys.

Louise Grout Rose, Hill) purchased her Carmel Highlands property in the context of what relator J.F. Devendorf and attorney Frank

Powers, partners in the Carmel Development Co. CDC), saw in 1916 as the next best opportunity for land development in the Monterey

region. Dr. John L.D. Roberts, the founder of Seaside, had mapped a coastal route through the Big Sur to San Luis Obispo county in

1897. Some time later Roberts traveled the route accompanied by Frank Powers, who made the first colored slides of the region.

Employing Powers color slides, Dr. Roberts convinced the state legislature to include funds to build the highway In a state bond issue

which passed in 1919_ Well before the bond issue came to a vote, Seth Ulman, the CDC's best salesman was extolling the possibilities of

creating an up-scale residential community In the rugged Carmel Highlands, around an exclusive coastal hostelry. The CDC purchased a

600 acre tract that ran from Gibson Creek two miles south to the original Yankee Point and inland about 314 of a mite, from then owner

Thomas A. Ihlork. By 1917 the CDC had completed construction of the Highlands Inn. The rest of the tract was surveyed into large parcels

to attract clients interested in estate properties. The land was divided in such a way as to give each owner access to a communal

bridle-path, which led down to the beach at Yankee Point. The beach is still privately held for Highlands residents- Development was slow

at first, with several respected Eastern artists and writers purchasing lots and building their west coast studios. Wealthy Southern

Californians were also part of the initial tenant mix Other developers, like the Carmel Villas Corp. purchased land on the periphery of the

CDC's holdings. During the same time frame, S.F. B Morse's Pebble Beach enterprise along the 17 Mile Drive interrupted the Highlands

growth temporarily, but the latter's development flourished in the mid twenties, until the onset of the Great Depression.

The Louise G. Rose House and property is one of the fe}nr remaining intact Carmel Highland estates dating from its early period of

development. The French Eclectic manor house and guest house designed by noted Carmel architect Earl Percy Parks in 1921 is an

excellent and essentially intact example of the picturesque romantic revival homes that defined the Carmel Highlands residential

character at the onset of the 1920s- Existing changes to the Louise G. Rose House over time have respected the historic character of

the residence and its guest house for the most part, and have not significantly altered the appearance of the property. Some alterations

associated with the guest house were the product of environmental conditions, including three major mud slides since the original

construction. The subject property retains its historic integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship to a high degree. It

retains a strong sense of time and place and of feeling and association with the early residential development of the Cannel Highlands. It

clearly qualifies for listing in the California Register at the state level of significance in the context of this association, and for the high

architectural merit of its French Revival design by Earl Percy Parks.

165 Spindrift Road

Carmel, Ca 93923

April 25, 2011

To whom it may concern:

We recently purchased 165 Spindrift Road. Unfortunately, over the decades, the

property has fallen into significant disrepair and requires considerable work and

financial commitment to restore the property. In fact, as a result of its current

condition, several prospective buyers wanted to tear down the structure rather than

undertaking the significant restoration efforts that will be required.

We recognized the property's historical and architectural significance to the community

and believe that it should be restored as one of the oldest ocean front 2 story homes on

the Peninsula. We have hired Stocker and Allaire to perform all restoration work on the

property keeping with the historical architecture and style. Upon completion, it will be a

pristine restoration emblematic of a time period almost a century ago.

As a result, we request the historical designation under the Mills Act so that this

restoration can begin.

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate ko contact us.
