Old timers remember hearing that the house was built to house lumber company employees,but it is not known when. Charles and Grace Woodhams lived here from 1913 until their deaths in 1939 and 1944. Woodhams was a harness maker, but when the automobile came along, he left the harness-making business and owned a furniture store on Broadway. He also raised Buff Orpindton chickens on this property and sold eggs around town. Today this century-old house is used as law offices and is surrounded by modem commercial buildings.

Preservation Standard and Guidelines The Downtown Plan has indentified the historic resources in the plan area and has established specific protections for each resource. These protections govern the changes that are allowed to be made to the resources themselves. The Plan also protects historic resources by requiring new projects built adjacent to historic resources to avoid a"substantial adverse change"in the significance of the adjacent historic resource and protect its continued eligibility for listing on the California Register. The Downtown Precise Plan(section 2.1.3) specifies the Preservation Standard and Guidelines for these resources. 4 ATTYIRES0.3048IHRAC RESO RECOMMENDING 601 MARSHALL STREET EXHIBIT A REV:01-16-15 VR
