11 <br />Historic Integrity <br />The California Register regulations define "integrity" as "the authenticity of a property's physical <br />identity, evidenced by the survival of characteristics that existed during the property's period of <br />significance." That is, a property must retain enough of its historic character or appearance to be <br />recognizable as an historical resource. The “period of significance” has to date from fifty years ago <br />or more. California Register regulations specify that integrity is a quality that applies to historic <br />resources in seven ways: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. <br />A property must retain most of these qualities to possess integrity. <br />The two houses at 11021 and 11033 Dublin Canyon Road retain a good level of historic integrity. <br />The exterior and interiors of both houses retain integrity of design and materials from their <br />original construction. The historic integrity of the Bungalow house at 11021 Dublin Canyon <br />Road has been somewhat compromised because of its poor condition, which includes its sloping <br />roof and the front porch tilting away from the house. This visual evidence of the house’s <br />condition may indicate serious structural deficiencies. The Terra Ranch does not retain historic <br />integrity as a ranch complex since none of the original barns and outbuildings associated with the <br />property’s earlier use as a cattle and dairy ranch survive. The ranch lacks integrity of design, <br />materials, feeling and association. <br />The Four Criteria of Significance <br />Criterion 1: The resource is associated with events or patterns of events that have <br />made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local and <br />regional history. <br />The house at 11021 Dublin Canyon Road is associated with cultural patterns such as ranching or <br />agricultural history of the Dublin/Pleasanton. However the property is not eligible under <br />California Register criterion 1 because of the loss of all the original barns and outbuildings <br />associated with its original use as a ranch. The historic integrity as a ranch has been <br />compromised. The house at 11033 Dublin Canyon Road is a suburban Ranch house not <br />associated with the property’s use as a ranch. <br />In conclusion, the houses at 11021-11033 Dublin Canyon Road do not appear to be historically <br />significant because of its association with local history, thus the houses are not significant under <br />California Register Criterion 1. <br />Criterion 2: The resource is associated with the lives of persons important to the <br />nation or to California's past. <br />Historic research did not identify any significant persons in local history who had lived in the <br />houses at 11021 and 11033 Dublin Canyon Road, thus the houses do not appear to be significant <br />under California Register Criterion 2. The earliest occupants of the house at 11021 Dublin <br />Canyon Road, Mary and Joseph Fernandes, a farmer, was not a significant person in local <br />history. Beginning in circa 1940, Manuel Terra, Sr., followed by his son Manuel Terra, Jr., <br />occupied 11021 Dublin Canyon Road. They were typical ranchers in the Dublin area and not
