Criterion C (Design/Construction) <br /> Properties may qualify for listing if they 1) embody the distinctive characteristics of a <br /> type,period or method of construction, 2)represent the work of a master, 3)possess high <br /> artistic values, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components <br /> may lack individual distinction. The building does not embody the distinctive <br /> characteristics of a type,period or method of construction. The designer or architect, if <br /> any, is not known and the building does not possess high artistic values or distinction. <br /> Criterion D (Information Potential) <br /> Archival research provided no indication that the building has the potential to yield <br /> information important to prehistory or history. <br /> California Register of Historical Resources <br /> The California Register ofHistorical Resources (CRHR) evaluates a resource's historic <br /> significance based on criteria that are very similar to the National Register. For the <br /> reasons outlined above under the discussion for the National Register, the building is not <br /> eligible for listing under the California Register of Historic Resources. <br /> Redwood City Historic Preservation Ordinance <br /> Chapter 40 of the Redwood City Municipal Code establishes the Redwood City Historic <br /> Preservation Ordinance which has criteria similar to the NRHP and CRHR. For the <br /> reasons outlined above under the discussion for the National Register, the building is not <br /> eligible for listing under the Redwood City Historic Preservation Ordinance. <br /> Integrity <br /> The evaluation of historic significance is a two-step process. First, the historic <br /> significance of the property must be established. If the property appears to possess <br /> historic significance, then a determination is made of its physical integrity, that is, its <br /> authenticity as evidenced by the survival of characteristics that existed during the <br /> resource's period of significance. Since the building does not possess historic <br /> significance, there is no need to evaluate its physical integrity. However, it is clear that <br /> the multiple additions have eroded the integrity of the original building and that the <br /> additions have not gained historical significance in their own right. <br /> Conclusion <br /> The building is not eligible for the listing on the National Register of Historic Places, <br /> California Register of Historical Resources or for local designation. <br /> 1 The Almanac,May 4,2005,www.almanacnews.com/morgue/2005/2005_OS_04.dining.shtml <br /> 5 <br />
