The vertical files in the Local History's Work Room include data on specific addresses , organized by street. This includes data from the two Bellringer projects and the results of the LGMA's Historical Home Survey. Be careful with the survey data. The closer the events cited are to 1975, the better the information, the further back in time, the more suspect. Much of this information was gained by individuals' memories, and oral history somet imes is unreliable . 2. In the Local History section outside the Work Room you will find the 1941 Tax Assessment Survey . The Tax Assessment Survey is contained in 3-ring binders, sorted al phabetically by street . You will find a lot about your house in 1941 and how it was assessed. It will tell you how old the owner thought the house was, not always accurate . It will tell you the number of rooms, the type of wall construction, something about the foundation and how it was heated . By Town decree, any house built before 1941 is considered historic, and pe r mits must be obtained to change any exterior characteristic. SE£ E'f..H-iei·T SPI /NOic~TG: 5 ~VoS taJ1t:r Ft/3.()(1 T If 13. 3. There are telephone directories and Polk's directories in the bookcases outside the Work Room. Find the Los Gatos section in the Polk 's directories, starti ng with 1930 through 1974; look for the address to find the name of the owner. The California Room at San Jose's Martin Luther King Jr Library (5 1h floor) has a number of directories not available in Los Gatos . oe:e ..XA~Ds;:. .:11-tP 4. Look at the Sanborn Maps located in one of the alcoves of the Loca l History section. A History docent should be able to he l p you with these. There are maps for 1884, 1888, 1891, 1895, 1904, 1908, 1928 and 1944, although not all of Los Gatos was covered in the earlier years . Because street addresses changed through t ime, look for your house first in 1944 o r 1928, then look at earlier maps to see when your house first appears, which will give you an idea of when it was built. Also note how the shape of the hou~e changed through t ime .. 1'1) Getz G't..fi-iBlT 7.-g -rue. SHJIIJP€ cllfAit.e: ,s, sm4tc s1-1w E..Y.TtiNS'0 ,otT' &~cK <>-f MoO & liC 5. The Anne Bloomfield Los Gatos Historic Resources Inventory, June 1991 is located in the locked bookcases . If you're lucky you will find data on your house by distr ict.

Local History docents are available from 1:00-5:00 on Mondays, 10:00-12:00 on Wednesdays and 1:00-5:00 on Thursdays to answer any questions and/or to help you search f o r information on your Lo s Gatos home.

This structure at 441 University has had major modifications, is very poorly and cheaply built, has many structural problems, is beyond repairing, and has no value in its present condition . The structure is a sub-standard constructed dwelling. The interest and intent of everyone who sees this property is to demolish it and rebuild . The structure and occupants are not found in any historical files. The major modifications and structural changes to this property happened before I purchased in 1985. The structure was significantly changed in 1949. The original structure was a cottage with wood exterior walls and single wall construction. The walls were changed to stucco . Sheet rock was added to the interior walls and no insulation . See Exhibit SA 1941 Tax Assessment survey. Building Permit 863, April1949 . Some windows have been replaced with aluminum and vinyl frames. The original cottage had an open front porch with a roof. Sometime after the 1949 Survey, the open front porch was totally enclosed. The Sanborn Map shows a section of the front porch. From all indications it appears there was a back porch that was enclosed . The back area extension is now a bathroom, back entrance and laundry area . The floors slope approximately 2-3" on both the front and back porch extensions. The back entrance is only 68" tall. The shower stall extends over the roof. See photos Exhibit 12C. Plumbing and electrical old. Gas floor heater has to be turned on and off by PG&E 2. The 1941 Tax Assessment survey documents the structure and poor condition of the house. Recap of document declarations: Residential building: 1 story, 4 room cottage Construction: light, wood frame, single wall, (no insulation) Foundation: Mud Sill Roof: Hip Porches: Front, open, roofed Outbuildings: Shed Exterior Walls: Wood -Exterior Trim: Plain wood Inside walls: Stock Pine Walls : Battered ? Plumbing: Cheap, 4 fixtures Bathroom : Small, Cheap lighting: Electrical, Old Style, Cheap Heating: Stove (sometime later gas floor furnace) Classification : Quality: Cheap, condition: Poor, floor plan : Awkward 3.

Exhibit 12A Map 4. Bloomfield Study : was prepared in 1989, 4 years after I purchased the property. No remarks of any hi storical significance other than pre 1941 structure. I appreciate your consideration with the supporting information and documentation. Thank you.
