Builder: Area: Early 20th Century Expansions and Additions 4372 Pleasanton Avenue is located within the original Kottinger subdivision plan for the City of Pleasanton. With the confirmed continuance of the Western (later Central /Southern) Pacific Railroad through Pleasanton in the late 1860s, large property holders in the vicinity of the Pleasanton town site began rapidly subdividing property into house Tots and laying out streets. In 1868, John Kottinger laid out a regular grid of streets on his irregularly shaped parcel of land between Division Street on the south, the Arroyo del Valle on the north, and Main Street on the east, creating a series of regular, square property blocks and various partial blocks and lots in anticipation of continuance of the grid south of Division Street at a later date. Development in this portion of the Kottinger Plan area was relatively slow until the arrival of the Western Pacific Railroad on the west side of Pleasanton around 1910 (Pleasanton Downtown Historic Context Statement). 4372 Pleasanton Avenue was constructed sometime between 1907 and 1929, likely by the Apperson Family, who owned all of the property on the block bounded by St. Mary St., Pleasanton Ave, Division St. and the Western Pacific Railroad tracks. In 1930, Christian and Minnie Jensen rented the property. Elizabeth and R.W. Apperson are listed as the owners of the property in the early 1940s (Pleasanton 1940). In 1940, Mary Mancezes and her daughter Virginia rented the property. Mary worked as an ironer in a local laundry (US Census 1940). 4372 Pleasanton Avenue is a modest end gable dwelling that does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type or period of construction. The property has an end gable form, but is not consistent with other vernacular end gable dwellings of the period in Pleasanton. The property is not significantly associated with any historic events or persons in the history of Pleasanton. 4372 Pleasanton Avenue does not appear to be eligible for the California Register of Historic Resources.
