EVALUATION
10002/018
In the Survey's first ,phase a system of evaluation for hisro:ric resources
was derived from Lhe systems advocated by Harold Kalman of Canada, explained in
. Splend.ie 5ur viv�ors. (p. 9 -13), and -ustad :by the City of Oakland and by San Pran-
cisco's:Heritage Foundation. This system makes evaluation. as objective as
possible by es.ta•blishing 14 specific criteria against which hist6tic resources
can .bg rat The c riteria _ ract2 - -from l�e Alec -.- dates- et- ans:trtar� ion --
the'sub quality of building design. The criteria are:g'rou.ped into the
major_doncerns about historic resources:
History
Architecture
Environment
Integrity
in the initial process, the survey director wrote down the qualities of
the particular resource (a distrier, or a building, or an object) that b #sm
correspond to each of the 14 criteria. Actitg as evaluator, the director then
rated each quality as excellent, Very good, Good, or Fair /Poor. These ratings
were tzanslated into numbers, and their total was compared. with a scale to
derive a total rating for. the particular resource. The ratings are explained
below.
In the case of residential districts, the individual houses did not recezve
full individual evaluations. .Instead, a full evaluation was prepared for each
district as a whoie, and each house received a mini - evaluation consisting of the
date of construction, the name of the district, whether or not this house
"contributes" to the district,. names of eaelies.x 'mown owner and /or residents,
designer if known, and notation of -alterations.
Samples of - the.vatrious evaluation forms are in the Appendix. Complpte'd
evaluation forms are:in.the hard copy files for t:he respective addresses.
To complete the evaluation process., outside reviewers were asked to look
at the written evalua:cions and the research files, 1 to sgree or to Ove
specific areas /reasons of disagreement. The purpose of'the review is �co ch.eck
.fox aacidental. ogiissi.ons or mistakes on the Fart of the original evaluator, to
provide balance for h.:lin.d spots, and to add infora�acion she may have missed.
Ideally there should le three outside reviewers; an architect, a local historian,
and an architectural historian.
The major reviewers for the Los Gatos Survey :ere:
Michael Corbett, architectural historian and author of Si d
Survivors Berkeley.
Alice Carey, A.I.A., Carey and Company, preservation architects,
San Francisco.

Other members 6£ the Los Gatos Historic Preservation Comdtittee,
Laura Taylor, president, Las Gatos Heritage Preservation. Society.
William A. Vulf, Los Gatos Historian.
Wilma Thompson., local historian and Museum volunteer.
To final.i the. evaluations, the reviewers' comments were balanced and
adJ.ustments were made_ Theft Historic Resource Inventory $ores were .prepared
for the highest ranking resources. Generally, .historic. resources already
designated by the 'Town were not given additional research, nor evaluated., nor
.written tip 6n Historic Resource Inventory forms.
RATINGS
The .Survey produced three kinds of ratings, depending an the amo,.nt of
research and evalitati.on conducted for the various resources. A rating is
shown for each resource, either on Historic Resource Inventory form`s (in the
upper right Corner) or on the computerized file of all known historic resources.
'Evpry resource Which was evaluated received: a rating consisting of ane
numeral and one letter. The numeral indicated the level of o n s' s bi.litll 2 is
highest, 7 is lowest. The letter.indlcates the t.elati6n of the particular
resource to that level, as &n individual resource, a contributor in a district,.
A .non - contributor in a district, or a vac-ant parcel In a district. The meaning
of these reting•eode.s is as tolls:

EC0102NDATIO'N5 FOR HISTORIC DESTGNAT!0 ?1
It is tO.CO vended that the T &ft of Los Gatos :change the Master Plan
Provision for protecting historic buildings so that .the .cu.toff date for conii:der-
ing. a building 1t h:istarie.' gill be 194'1 instead of the present 1..917. The Survey
has pr-eparad a computerized. list of such properties.
This char 84 Would bring Los Gatos much closer to conformance with the
standards of the National Park, Service and the State Office of Historic Pieser-
This :c
T is :c hange would protect. .- w use a cutaff of 5O years old and admit younger cases if exceptional.
Chr hi , for example, the High School and the First Church of
ist Scientist, wch were both built in the 19208 and appear eliat..bl.e for
listing in the National Register of 'Historic Places and also for local historic
designation,
The present Survey does rot recommend rescinding an of the existing
historic designations (except in the case of demolished buildings),- whether or
not Survey Forms have been prepared for them. In the previously des- iSne'ted
districts, a distinction Bh6U :d be made bet;reen the resources which 1 :cantribute"
to the district and those which: do not. Such a distinction will assist in dealing
with requests for demolition, alterations, or additions. A few of the presently
designated individual buildings come within the boundaries of new districts
being proposed'.
The present Survey recommends eight hdstoric districts and 2'4 individual
properties for new historic designations by the Town of Los Gatos. They are listed
on the next page. For each of these there is a Historic Resources Inventory Form
in the: Appendix. These forms give location, map, parcel numbers, description,
reasons why the particular rasource is significant enough to merit designation
and - distinction between contributing and non - contributing pproperties. )
In addition., quite a few individual. properties . were - not ;✓ritten up on
Inventory Forms beca time allocation was insufficient, They peed further
research. Those which appear most worthy of further attention.and possible
designation are listed on p. RD - There are also four groups (d•istritts ?) of
houses which appear to merit attention and might be considered for a new category,
"Recognition Group,'v Their names and contributing properties are listed on
