<br />B10. Significance, con’t
<br />The Four Criteria of Significance
<br />Criterion 1: The resource is associated with events or patterns of events that have made a significant contribution to
<br />the broad patterns of local and regional history.
<br />The house at 11021 Dublin Canyon Road is associated with cultural patterns such as ranching or agricultural history of the
<br />Dublin/Pleasanton. However the property is not eligible under California Register criterion 1 because of the loss of all the original barns
<br />and outbuildings associated with its original use as a ranch. The historic integrity as a ranch has been compromised. The house at
<br />11033 Dublin Canyon Road is a suburban Ranch house not 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 significant because of their association
<br />with local history, thus the houses are not significant under California Register Criterion 1.
<br />Criterion 2: The resource is associated with the lives of persons important to the nation or to California's past.
<br />Historic research did not identify any significant persons in local history who had lived in the houses at 11021 and 11033 Dublin Canyon
<br />Road, thus the houses do not appear to be significant under California Register Criterion 2. The earliest occupants of the house at
<br />11021 Dublin Canyon Road, Mary and Joseph Fernandes, a farmer, were not significant persons in local history. Beginning in circa
<br />1940, Manuel Terra, Sr., followed by his son Manuel Terra, Jr., occupied 11021 Dublin Canyon Road. They were typical ranchers in
<br />the Dublin area and not persons of historic significance. The house at 11033 Dublin Canyon Road was built by the current occupant,
<br />Mabel Lester, in 1966.
<br />Criterion 3: The resource embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of
<br />construction, or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values.
<br />The house at 11021 Dublin Canyon Road is not a sufficiently exceptional or distinguished example of the Bungalow Style in the
<br />Dublin/Pleasanton area to be eligible under California Register Criterion 3. Better examples of similar early 20th century houses that
<br />retain a higher level historic integrity still survive in the Dublin/Pleasanton area. A particularly fine local example of the Bungalow Style,
<br />the George Kolb house, was moved to the Dublin Heritage Park in 2011. 11033 Diablo Canyon Road is a typical, undistinguished
<br />example of the Ranch House Style in the Dublin/Pleasanton area from the 1960s.
<br />Criterion 4: The resource has the potential to yield information important to the prehistory or history of the state or
<br />the nation.
<br />Criterion 4 applies primarily to archaeological sites. The houses at 11021 and 11033 Dublin Canyon Road were built using standard wood
<br />frame construction techniques common during the 20th century. The buildings would not yield information important to history or prehistory
<br />thus the houses are not eligible under Criterion 4.
<br />Conclusion
<br />In conclusion, the houses at 11021 and 11033 Dublin Canyon Road area not eligible for the California Register because they are not
<br />significant under California Register Criteria 1, 2, 3 or 4. The houses are also not contributing resources to a California Register eligible
<br />historic district.
