AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS
DESIGNATING A STRUCTURE AS HISTORICALLY AND CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT
The Town Council of the Town of Los Gatos does ordain as follows:
SECTION I
The following structure is hereby designated historically and culturally
significant:
HD -84 -3 Thrash House
367 Los Gatos Boulevard
A detailed description of the designated structure, the characteristics
which ,justify designation, and a map showing the location and delineation of the
historic structure, are part of this ordinance.
SECTION II
The property listed is designated to be of historic, architectural, or
aesthetic significance for the reasons listed below:
A. Property: Thrash House, 367 Los Gatos Boulevard
B. Historic Designation No.: HD -84 -3
C. Description of Designation: Structure
D. Description of Characteristics which Justify Designation:
This wooden structure, with its low pyramidal roof and overhanging
eaves is modestly Itallante in style. It combines details from a
variety of sources including shingle and Victorian styles and is best
described as "eclectic." Its value lies not in its representation of
any particular historical style. Rather, the axiality of the building
mass and the landscaping with its two stately Palm trees, maintains an
image of grandness reminiscent of a time when large homes lined the
street. Preservation status should be considered because this is one
of only a few surviving structures representative of the character of
Los Gatos Boulevard as it existed in the early part of this century.
E. Description of Particular Features that Should be Preserved in Addition
to Those Covered under Section 4.86.120: The two palm trees, two
redwood trees, hitching post, and rock wall, all located in the area in
front of the house.
SECTION VI
This ordinance takes effect 30 days after the date it is adopted. Within 15
days after this ordinance is adopted the Town Clerk shall cause it to be published
once in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the Town.
This ordinance was introduced at a regular meeting
of the Town Council of the Town of Los Gatos on AEri 1 8 1985 and adopted
by the following vote as an ordinance of the Town of Los Gatos at a regular meeting
of the Town Council on April 15 , 1985.
