Significance, con’t Manuel F. Terra, Sr., the grandfather of the current owner of 11033 Dublin Canyon Road, purchased the parcel that included the original Devany house and the Fernandes house during the 1930s. A native of Portugal born in 1864, Terra immigrated to the United States in 1885. In the Dublin area, he worked as a farmer and dairyman. According to the 1940 U.S. Census, Manuel Terra, Sr. (now 75 years old and listed as a “farm manager”) and his wife Mary lived on the Dublin Road, Hayward with Mary’s two children from a previous marriage (Angelina and George Santos). Manuel and his first wife Maria had five children Manuel, Jr, Fred, Frank, Mabel, Marie, and Frederica. Mr. Terra worked as a tenant farmer. According to the U.S. Census, the family lived on Tassajara Road between Santa Rita and Dublin in 1910, then in 1920, on the County Road between Dublin and Sunol. Maria Terra died in 1926 (age 57) and Manuel Terra, Sr. died in 1951. Terra’s second wife Mary moved to Hayward where she died in 1959. A resident of the Sunol area on Niles Canyon Road, Manuel Terra, Jr. (born 1892) moved to the property on Dublin Canyon Road in the 1950s. In 1966, Manuel Terra’s daughter Mabel Terra Lester, built the Ranch House Style residence east of the Bungalow Style house. Mabel Lester inherited the property from her father when he died in 1982. The various sheds and a small chicken coop on the property are modern structures constructed the 1970s or later (Lester 2018). Historic Evaluation The California Register of Historical Resources In 1992 Assembly Bill 2881 added Section 21084.1 to the Public Resources Code (i.e. the CEQA statute) which provided more specific guidelines for identifying historic resources during the CEQA process: A project that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment. For purposes of this section, an historical resource is a resource listed in, or determined eligible for listing in, the California Register of Historical Resources. Consequently, under Section 21084.1, an historic resource eligible for the California Register would by definition be an historic resource for purposes of CEQA compliance. The Final Regulations for nominating resources to the California Register were published in January, 1998. Under the regulations, a number of historic resources are automatically eligible for the California Register if they have been listed in and determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places or the California Historic Landmarks program (landmarks #770 or higher). Historic resources included in local inventories or designated under local ordinances can also be presumed eligible if they meet criteria consistent with California Register criteria. 11021 Dublin Canyon Road received a “Q” rating (“some visual interest, needs more historical research”) in the Historical and Cultural Resource Survey, East Alameda County, a 2005 historic resource “windshield” reconnaissance survey ( Corbett 2005:41). Many buildings in the 2005 survey received a “Q” rating. The highest rating in the 2005 reconnaissance survey is a “K” rating, which is identified under the Alameda County Historic Preservation Ordinance as eligible for the “Alameda County Register of Historic Resources” for “significant visual qualities.” In order for a resource to be eligible for the California Register, it must meet three criteria: 1) be eligible under one of the four criteria of significance, 2) retain historic integrity and 3) be fifty years old or older (except in rare case where the resource meets a higher level or “exceptional” level of significance). Since the houses at 11021 and 11033 Dublin Canyon Road pre-date 1968, the houses meet the California Register age criterion. The houses are evaluated below under the California Register criteria for historic significance and historic integrity. The houses have not been previously formally evaluated under California Register or National Register criteria. Historic Integrity The California Register regulations define "integrity" as "the authenticity of a property's physical identity, evidenced by the survival of characteristics that existed during the property's period of significance." That is, a property must retain enough of its historic character or appearance to be recognizable as an historical resource. The “period of significance” has to date from fifty years ago or more. California Register regulations specify that integrity is a quality that applies to historic resources in seven ways: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. A property must retain most of these qualities to possess integrity. The two houses at 11021 and 11033 Dublin Canyon Road retain a good level of historic integrity. The exterior and interiors of both houses retain integrity of design and materials from their original construction. The historic integrity of the Bungalow house at 11021 Dublin Canyon Road has been somewhat compromised because of its poor condition, which includes its sloping roof and the front porch tilting away from the house. This visual evidence of the house’s condition may indicate serious structural deficiencies. The Terra Ranch does not retain historic integrity as a ranch complex since none of the original barns and outbuildings associated with the property’s earlier use as a cattle and dairy ranch survive. The ranch lacks integrity of design, materials, feeling and association. □
