Constructed in 1913 in the California Mission Revival architectural style, this building was added to the City’s Historic Resource Inventory (HRI) as a structure of merit in 1984. 6. When reviewed against the Secretary of the Interior's Standards, the proposed project would satisfy the applicable criteria in that the removal of the non-authentic awnings and repainting of the façade would continue to be a faithful representation of the original building, without creating a false historical appearance. 7.
