MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
At the request of Spyglass Ranch (Riverside) ASLI V, LLLP, John Minch and Associates
has undertaken a focused cultural resources study (historical and architectural) of the Delaney
Ranch House complex located within the City of Lake Elsinore, Riverside County. The Delaney
Ranch House carries the address of 523 West Minthorn Street and lies within a 2.92 -acre parcel
identified as APN 337 - 350 -004. Presently, the house is vacant and has been uninhabited for
most of the last 25 -30 years. Proposed development plans include demotion of all buildings and
structures associated with the ranch to make way for future residential development.
A records search of the study area was conducted at the Eastern Information Center at
UC Riverside. It indicated that the residential complex had been previously evaluated for
historical significance by the Riverside County Historical Commission in 1982 and assigned the
status code of 3S (Appears eligible for National Register as an individual property through
survey evaluation). The resource was assigned the Primary # 33 -7228.
A thorough re- evaluation of the Delaney Ranch House complex comprised extensive
background research, interviews and field study. As a result, it was determined that the ranch
house was not constructed of adobe brick but of hollow tile and the swimming pool was
significantly smaller than Olympic size as first reported. Despite persistent claims of ownership
by Hollywood icon Johnny Weissmuller of Tarzan fame, no connection of any kind could be
made.
An analysis of construction history coupled with the architectural evaluation indicated
that the original configuration of the ranch house has been significantly altered through a series
of poorly planned additions and other modifications. Additionally, the house has been only
sporadically occupied during the last 25 years resulting in extensive vandalism and generally
poor upkeep. Thus, the physical integrity of the building is poor to the point that restoration
seems infeasible.
In applying the criteria for historical and architectural significance contained within the
National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the California Register of Historical Resources
(CRHR), the Delaney Ranch House complex does not appear eligible for inclusion to either the
NRHP or CRHR. As presently proposed, the Delaney Ranch House and associated structures are
slated for demolition. However, since none of the buildings or swimming pool are considered
0
architecturally or historically significant at the federal and state levels, there will be no adverse
impacts to historic resources. Therefore, no additional measures in conjunction with cultural
resources are recommended for the Delaney Ranch house, Pool House, Pool or Lookout.

I. INTRODUCTION
The following report was written by John Minch and Associates, Inc. (JMA) at the
request of Spyglass Ranch (Riverside) ASLI V, LLLP. It describes the results of a historical and
architectural evaluation of a ranch house complex known as the Delaney Ranch. The vacant
property is located at 523 West Minthorn Street in the City of Lake Elsinore, Riverside County.
Current plans call for demolition of the ranch complex in conjunction with future residential
development.
The study described herein was conducted in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it pertains to the management of cultural resources. The
purpose of the evaluation was to establish the historical and architectural significance of the
ranch complex which is over 50 years of age. This information is needed since adoption of the
proposed demolition plans could result in adverse effects upon one or more of the ranch
buildings. Therefore, the ranch complex was evaluated for historical and architectural
significance according to the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) and the
National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The evaluation consisted of: (1) a records search
conducted at the Eastern Information Center (EIC), University of California at Riverside, (2)
literature review, (3) archival research, (4) interviews, (5) correspondence with the Lake Elsinore
Historical Society, (6) survey and architectural analysis of surviving ranch buildings, and (7)
determinations of historical and architectural significance at the state and federal levels.
The records search and archival research for the project was conducted by Laura S.
White, M.A. (RPA & County approved). The intensive survey of the property was performed by
Laura S. White (Principal Investigator) and Robert S. White (Project Director, County
approved). The Delaney Ranch complex was evaluated for historical and architectural
significance by David Van Horn, Ph.D. (Architectural Historian). Dr. Van Horn meets the
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Architectural History. Qualification statements are
provided in Appendix A.

I1. STUDY AREA LOCATION AND ENVIRONMENT
Regionally, the project area lies on a hilltop approximately one -mile southeast of
Highway 74 (Central Avenue) and just east of Interstate 15 in the City of Lake Elsinore,
Riverside County (fig. 1). R overlooks Lake Elsinore and the City's historic core. Legally, the
subject property lies within the Northwest 1/4 of Section 5, Township 6 South, Range 4 West,
San Bernardino Base Meridian as shown on a portion of the Lake Elsinore 7.5' USGS
Topographic Quadrangle (fig. 2).
The 2.92 -acre study area is identified as APN 377 - 350 -004. The elongated parcel is
oriented northeast - southwest and topographically defined by two hilltops which include the
surviving buildings of the ranch complex (fig. 3). Vacant land in the form of numerous foothills
transected by off -road trails border the property on the north, east and south. The western
boundary is delineated by the paved frontage road for Interstate 15, Camino Del Norte.
Originally, the Delaney Ranch comprised numerous buildings and structures spread over
258 +acres of fairly rugged terrain. Additional parcels (APNs 377 - 350 -008, -009, and —10)
included a caretaker's house, workshop and garage, car barn, stables, hay barn, milk shed,
chicken coops and pig styes (figs. 4 and 5). The perimeter of the original ranch boundaries is
delineated by 6 -foot chain link fence topped with three strands of barbed wire.
HI. A BRIEF HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF LAKE ELSINORE
Much of the historical data regarding Lake Elsinore was drawn from archival research
conducted at the Lake Elsinore Branch Library and the Tomas Rivera Library at the University
of California at Riverside. The single most important source of information was Tom Hudson's
Lake Elsinore Valley, Its Story 1776 -1977 (1978). This history of the Elsinore Valley contains a
convenient outline for the social and economic development of Lake Elsinore and its environs.
A second useful anthology of historic anecdotes may be found in Elizabeth C. James' Elsinore
History Vignettes (1973). Other anecdotal historical accounts were published in the local history
magazine, The High Country. Lastly, sonic invaluable sources on places in Riverside County
include Jane Gunther's Riverside County Place Narnes, their Origins & their Stories (1984) and
Bynon & Son's History and Directory of Riverside County 1893 -4. (1992). Collectively, these
works provide a reasonably thorough background history of the region.

A. Rancho Days
In spite of its lake and hot springs, the Elsinore Valley was relatively slow to attract the
attention of Europeans. In 1797, Fray Juan Santiago set out from Mission San Juan Capistrano
in search of a new mission site. He and his party traveled past Lake Elsinore, and probably
camped there, on their way to Temecula. They went on to identify the future site of Mission San
Luis Rey.
According to Hudson, the first pioneer settlement in the region did not take place in the
region until 1818 when Leandro Serrano, former majordomo at the Pala chapel, settled in
Temescal Canyon (ibid. 6£). By 1824, Leandro had built an adobe north of Glen Ivy Hot
Springs and this is believed to have been the first private dwelling to be built in what is now
Riverside County. Meanwhile, an asistencia had been built at Ternecu (Temecula). Lake
Elsinore itself, however, remained in the exclusive hands of its aboriginal occupants.
For the next twenty years, the only white men to visit the lake were travelers passing
through the Elsinore Valley. Finally, in 1844, Julian Manriquez received a grant to the "Laguna
Grande" or Lake Elsinore. The grant, which encompassed the lake, included some 20,000 acres.
However, Manriquez seems never to have settled the place and, after several years, sold it to
Abel Stearns who regarded the rancho as a real estate investment. In 1858, Stearns sold it to Don
Agustin Machado. The Machados were the first family of European descent to settle along the
shores of the lake.
Machado was a ranchero and although there are no precise records, he doubtless hired
many Luiseno to help run the rancho. The Machados immediately began building an adobe near
what was the intersection of Machado Street and Grand Avenue (ibid. 9, 14). Today, as the
result of road modifi cations, the location of the adobe is best described as situated at the curve
that transitions Grand Avenue to Riverside Drive. That same year, the first Butterfield stage
stopped at the Machado rancho. There, the passengers dined and the horses were changed before
the stage continued its journey to San Francisco. The Machado home became a bi- weekly stage
stop for the next two years, service finally being terminated as a result of the Civil War.
Don Agustin Machado died in 1865, leaving portions of the rancho to his son Juan and to
his second wife and her eleven children. During the ensuing eight years, all of the heirs except
Juan sold their shares of the rancho. Don Juan Machado built an adobe on his pie - shaped 500 -
acre parcel at the northwest corner of the lake. There, he raised a family and continued to build
6
the herds of livestock begun by his father. Don Juan Machado's "Rancho Laguna Grande"
became the social center for the local ranches at "rodeo" (round -up) time and was well -known
for his historical reminisces and the man who first planted Australian eucalyptus trees in the area
(Sumner in James I973:66ff).
But the future of the Take as the site of pastoral ranches was short. A severe drought
struck California in the late 1870's and by 1881, the lake was nearly dry. In that year, Franklin
H. Heald, who was to become the founder of the City of Lake Elsinore, first visited the lake.
B. Development of the Town of Elsinore
Although it was little more than a mud flat at the time, the visionary Franklin H. Heald
fell in love with the location. He soon learned that the Rancho La Laguna could be purchased
from the London and San Francisco Bank for its mortgage of $24,000.
Heald lacked the purchase price himself so in 1883 he took two partners, Donald Graham
and William Collier. Meanwhile, the California Southern completed its rail line from National
City to Colton. Since the railroad would connect with the Santa Fe and points east in 1885, it
appeared that the time for development of the lake had finally arrived. In 1884, the name
"Elsinore" was selected for the new town, not after the small city in Denmark, "but rather from
the immortality given it by Shakespeare and Campbell, and because it had a pleasant sound."
The name on the sign of the little railroad station located at the present intersection of Railroad
Canyon Road and Mission Trail was changed from "Laguna" to "Elsinore."
About that time, the first bath was built at the hot spring located at the intersection of
Graham Avenue and Spring Street. Plans were laid for a hotel and the town site subdivision,
which was located entirely east of Main Street, was surveyed by H.C. Kellogg. Mineral rights
under the streets were retained by the subdividers. Town lots were offered for sale at $45 each
and farm lots for $25 each. In 1884, the new town consisted of a "general store, three or four
small houses, and a few tents" (ibid. 27).
However, southern California's land boom was gaining strength and reached fever pitch
during the next several years as a result of a passenger price war between the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific. Elsinore's population began to grow accordingly. At the same time, Heald
was busy pursuing his plans to make the town a resort. By 1887, Heald had begun construction
of the famous Crescent Bath House which was intended to represent the epitome of oriental
VA
luxury in southern California. The venture was successful and the new bath house later became
an adjunct of the Lake View Hotel (when it became known as the Lake View Bath Houses).
Today, the old bath house still stands as the "Chimes" Antique Store. It was added to the
National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
The southern California real estate bubble finally burst in 1888 as buyers evaporated and
prices plummeted. Some new town subdivisions went under but Elsinore was able to survive,
principally because its economic base was surprisingly diverse for such a small and new
community. Aside from the bath house business, coal had been found in several locations not far
from town (Collier in James 1973:30ff). In addition, clay suitable for manufacture of bricks and
other ceramic construction materials had been discovered near the coal vein in Warn Springs
Valley. The "suburban" town of Terra Cotta was subsequently laid out and, in 1887, received its
own Post Office (Hudson 1978:32).
C. City of Elsinore (1888 -1928)
The City of Elsinore was incorporated on April 9, 1888. During the ensuing lean
economic years, the clay products business in Terra Cotta helped to sustain the new town.
During the early 1890's, the California Coal and Clay Company at Terra Cotta was shipping
seven carloads of pipe per week. `9n 1892 the plant manufactured ten miles of square groove
tiles to be used for underground telephone wires in Los Angeles" (ibid. 33). Clay products
manufactured at Terra Cotta continued to support the local economy throughout the century up
until 1940 when the Pacific Clay Products Company finally abandoned Terra Cotta in favor of
Alberhill.
One final important event took place prior to the turn-of-the-century remains to be noted.
In 1897, the town got its first municipal water system. In the past, residents had depended upon
backyard wells and used sulphur water delivered in barrels to do laundry (sulphur water being
excellent for the purpose). The new water system consisted of a well drilled at the north end of
Langstaff Street, a pipe leading from the well to a reservoir on a nearby hilltop, and distribution
system leading from the reservoir to the town's residential and business districts. The Langstaff
Street well produced warm sulphur water. "That was the beginning of Elsinore's famed mineral
water system that for many years delivered the controversial water to every household" (Hudson
1978:37).
0
During the first decade of the 20`x' century, Elsinore took on the character of a quiet little
agricultural community. Truck farming and orchards became important elements in the local
economy. Olive growing was another important agricultural activity. C.H. Albers, owner of the
Lakeland Ranch on the south side of the lake and for whom Alberhill was named, constructed a
pressing, pickling, and canning plant at what is now Lakeland Village.
Agricultural and mining activities continued to flourish in Elsinore right up to WWI
although Albers moved his olive pressing plant to Riverside in 1917. However, by about 1913,
laud subdivision and construction were once again becoming economically significant activities.
New stores began to go up on Main Street in 1913 and construction of the first lakeshore resort,
the Superior Land and Water Company's "Laguna Vista Club House," began the following year.
Earlier in 1912, the same company had subdivided "Ford" on the east side of the lake, a tract
which later became the Sedco f fills (acronym for South Elsinore Development Company).
The Lakedale Hotel was built at the corner of Spring and Limited Streets and burned to
the ground in 1894. It was immediately rebuilt as the Lake View Hotel, also known as the Lake
View Inn, which stood for almost 75 years before it was razed in 1970. About 1921, the
Temescal Water Company was laying plans to divert water from the San Jacinto River in
Railroad Canyon to farmers in Corona. Ernest Pickering, successful developer of "Ocean Park"
next to Santa Monica, had a financial interest in the Lake View Inn and bathhouse project. He
objected to the water district's plans for obvious reasons and assembled a citizen's opposition
group. Undaunted, Temescal applied to the State Water Commission for a permit.
It was six years before the courts made a compromise decision in favor of Temescal. In
the settlement, which is known as the "Tilley Agreement," Temescal was permitted to build a
dam in Railroad Canyon. Temescal was also permitted to take the first 2,000 acre feet of water
flowing into the drainage in any one year. Depending upon the level of Lake Elsinore, it was
permitted to take additional amounts up to 100 %. The agreement did not attract as much
resentment from the citizens of Elsinore as one might suppose, apparently because the level of
the lake happened to be high at the time.
The 1920's were prosperous years for Elsinore. The Corona - Elsinore Road was
completed in 1924 and the following year, plans were laid for what would become the Ortega
Highway connecting Elsinore with San Juan Capistrano on the coast. A number of subdivisions
were completed, the most important of which was Clevelin Realty Corporation's development of
9
Country Club Heights. By 1928, Clevelin was buying pipe "by the mile" for water and
underground electrical service in the posh new residential area. Country Club Heights' most
celebrated resident was the evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson who built the palatial Aimee's
Castle."
D Modern Lake Elsinore 0 940- Present)
During WW 11, Elsinore became the site of a Douglas Aircraft Corporation plant where
wings for B -17 bombers were manufactured. At its peak, Douglas was employing 500 hundred
people at its new plant. "Housewives and older men were taught to operate drill presses, and for
the first time in their lives Elsinore women went off to work wearing pants and carrying lunch
buckets" (]bid. 97). Before the war, the Metropolitan Water District had begun digging a tunnel
through the San Jacinto Mountains (today, this tunnel delivers Colorado River water to much of
southern California). However, to everyone's surprise, ground water rapidly filled the tunnel and
flowed into the San Jacinto River. Temescal attempted to claim this water as "vagrant" but
Elsinore won a suit claiming it as part of the natural flow of the river that belonged to the lake.
During the war, Metropolitan diverted the tunnel water to Lake Mathews. In 1944, Mr.
Nat McKee, new owner of the old Crescent Bath house and Aimee's Castle, became interested in
the problem. McKee organized the Elsinore Water Protective Association for the propose of
pressing a claim for a share of the tunnel water and to recover some of the water lost as a result
of the Tilley Agreement. Although their initial suit was never carried through due to lack of
funds, the Association's efforts ultimately resulted in the creation of the Eastern Municipal
Water District (EMWD) which continued to press the claim for tunnel water. In 1950, the
EMWD became a branch of the huge Metropolitan Water District (MWD) but with the proviso
that all tunnel water would be managed by the EMWD. Unfortunately for Elsinore, the EMWD
did not plan to distribute water in the Elsinore Valley. There was talk of legal proceedings but
nothing ever came of it.
Development had begun to pick up following the war, particularly at Lakeland Village on
the southwest side of the lake. But although no one could have been aware of it at the time, the
lake had begun to dry up. In 1948, the fish began dying and washing ashore and residents
suffered from a plague of gnats spawned as a result of the lake's low water level. Although there
10
was substantial rain in 1952, the gnat infestation problem repeated itself when the lake went
completely dry in 1954.
Meanwhile the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) which had been
formed in 1950, was considering joining the Eastern Municipal Water District in order to
become eligible to receive Colorado River water. But heavy rains came in 1954 and the voters
west of the EMWD boundary voted in favor of formation of their own area -wide Western
Municipal Water District. That same year, the Western Municipal Water District became part of
the Metropolitan Water District and, therefore, became eligible for Colorado River water. The
Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District was given the responsibility of distributing the new
water.
While Elsinore and the state were struggling over the public water supply, the lake had
gone completely dry. In 1962, the state legislature budgeted for money to put Colorado River
water into the lake. This event took place in 1964 using MWD water from its aqueduct at
Lakeview. Water from the aqueduct flowed down the San Jacinto River, down Railroad Canyon,
and into the desiccated lake. However, by 1966 it had become clear this enterprise could not be
satisfactorily sustained due to a pervasive drought and increasing demand for domestic water.
At the end of the year, three 1800 -foot wells were drilled for the purpose of providing water to
the lake. Aside from rains, these wells have been the lake's exclusive source of water ever since.
In 1972, the name of the town was changed to "Lake Elsinore" by popular vote. During
the 1970's and 80's Lake Elsinore and its neighboring towns continued to develop. Completion
of Interstate 15 encouraged commuters to adopt Lake Elsinore as a "bedroom community."
Shopping centers have been built near the mouth of Railroad Canyon and large residential areas
have grown up in the nearby communities of Canyon Lake, Sun City, Wildomar, Murrieta, and
Temecula. Although the days of the bath houses are over, the lake still draws many weekend
visitors.
D Lake Elsinore Celebrity Homeowners and Visitors
According to Ms. Jean Corral, local historian and long time resident of Lake Elsinore,
over the past century, several celebrities are known to have lived or vacationed in the Lake
Elsinore area. Some of the most notable included: l) the family of 1920s child star, Jackie
Coogan, 2) weekend visitor and Elsinore property owner Bela Lugosi (1930s), 3) Dorothy
Cottrell, author of "Singing Gold," and 4) 1910s silent screen western actor, William S. Hart,
owned a house locally where he vacationed in during the summer (Rathbun 2005).
Often regarded as the most famous and glamorous Lake Elsinore resident was the
evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, founder of the International Church of the Foursquare
Gospel. In 1929, she had the palatial retreat known as "Aimee's Castle" constructed for her.
This Moorish -style castle with mosaic ceilings overlooks Lake Elsinore and comprises six
bedrooms, five baths, prayer tower, and underground catacombs. Ms. McPherson died in 1944
but her castle still stands today (ibid.).
Other celebrities and movie stars known to have visited or vacationed at Elsinore in the
1920s included Will Rogers (humorist) and Carrie Jacobs Bond (composer and lyricist). 1930s
and 1940s stars included Frank Morgan, Clark Gable and Andy Devine, and Olympic swimmer
turn actor, Johnny Weissnmller (Williams 2009). Actor Steve McQueen was a frequent visitor in
the 1960s and 1970s while on his many motorcycle excursions throughout southern California.
Lie also participated in the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix and co- produced the locally filmed
motorcycle documentary "On Any Sunday." (Rathbun 2005, Ghiotto 2011).
IV. HISTORIC RESOURCE LISTINGS
A. Historic Resources Records Search
A records search of the study area was conducted by Laura White at the Eastern
Information Center (EIC), University of California at Riverside. The search entailed a review of
all previously recorded historic resources situated within the project area. Additionally, the
National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), California Historical Landmarks (CHL), California
Points of Historical Interest (CPHI), California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), and
the California Directory of Properties (DOP, aka the Historic Resources Inventory [HRI]) were
reviewed for the purpose of identifying historic properties.
The results of the search indicated that no listed National Register of Historic Places
(NRHP), California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), California Historical Landmarks
(CHL), or California Points of Historical Interest (CPLiI) properties have been recorded within
the study area. However, the California DOP does list the property address (523 West Minthorn
Street, Lake Elsinore) as an historic resource (Primary #33 -7228; Appendix B).
12
The study area was recorded by Pat Meredith of the Riverside County Historical
Commission in 1982. The site form describes the residence at 523 West Minthorn Street as a
6,500 square foot Mediterranean /Spanish Revival style home that is U- shaped in plan with a
courtyard. Other features include a Spanish -tile gabled roof, stucco siding over 18 -inch adobe
walls, double -hung windows, an arched entry, and milk shed with cooling tower. An associated
gabled- roofed gazebo, Olympic -sized swimming pool, and a cabana with five dressing rooms
and two restrooms are located on an adjacent hilltop. All of the above - mentioned buildings and
structures are located within the elongated, 2.92 -acre parcel identified as APN 377 - 350 -004.
Other ranch related features (sheds, corrals, and stables) for livestock are located further to the
east within APN 377 - 350 -008.
Ms. Meredith stated that the residential complex dated to 1928 and that the builder was
A.J. Delaney. With regard to significance, the style, size and components to the residential
complex contributed to it being recognized as "one of the best examples of
Mediterranean /Spanish style homes built in the late 1920's building boom. Its gazebo, cabana,
and Olympic -sized swimming pool make it unique in the Lake Elsinore Valley." (Meredith
1982). The DOP listing indicates that the 523 West Minthorn Street address has been assigned
the California Historic Resources Status Code of (3S) "Appears eligible for NR (National
Register) as an individual property through survey evaluation."
Sources consulted for the resource included Tom Hudson's Lake Elsinore Valley, its
story 1776 -1977 (1978). Within Chapter 9 of his book on "Palatial Homes and Spas 1928-1932,"
Hudson made the brief statement "Among others are the spacious home built by A.J. Delaney on
a hill at the head of Main Street "... To date, this is the sole published reference to the property.
While conducting the initial survey in 1981, the Riverside County Historical Commission
was given a copy of "Description of the Property and Investment Objectives" for the 246 -acre
West Minthorr Street property by real estate broker, Gregory A. Block of Bitkower Associates,
Inc. on behalf of the property owner, Missing Link 11.
Situated upon the land is a 6,500 square foot, 43 year old
Spanish mansion, with an Olympic size swimming pool, cabanas
and gazebo, as well as approximately 20 horse corrals, sheds and
stables. The home itself is in excellent condition but is in need of
some exterior painting. Structurally, it is constructed of 18" thick
block -adobe walls. It is equipped with an industrial kitchen,
13
including a full line of stainless steel sinks, freezer, refrigerators
and a butcher block food prep area—The Seller currently resides in
the mansion, but will vacate it upon closing of escrow of our
purchase (Bitkower Realtors 1981:6).
Investment objectives of the Partnership included the possible conversion of the
residence into a fine restaurant, in the nature of a "Cask `N Cleaver" or "Stuart Anderson" type
of establishment. Copies of the Primary record for 523 West Minthorn Street, the "Description
of the Property and Investment Objectives" and black and white photos taken during the survey
of the property were generously provided by Mr. Keith Herron, Resources Bureau Chief,
Riverside County Parks and Open Space District.
B City of Lake Elsinore Historical Resources
Section 4.7 (Historic Preservation) of the 2011 City of Lake Elsinore General Plan was
reviewed for Cultural and Historic Resources. Under the City's Historic Built Environment
Category, the Delaney Estate (located north of Lake Elsinore) is listed as an "Unofficially
Recognized Significant Historic Resource." Other buildings listed under the same heading
include: Aimee's Castle, The Machado Adobe and Butterfield Stage Stop, Alberhill School, The
Cannery, and Elsinore Naval Military Academy (General Plan 2011:6f.).
V. HISTORICAL SOCIETY CORRESPONDENCE
In an effort to learn more about the architectural /historical importance of 523 West
Minthorn Street property, a letter of inquiry was sent to Ms. Ruth Atkins, President of the Lake
Elsinore Historical Society (Appendix Q. On May 6, 2013 a letter response was received. To
surnmarize. Ms. Atkins stated that the historical society had nothing in their files on the
Minthorn Street address. However, they do know of several locals "who swear they know this
property belonged to Johnny Weissmuller or refer to it as Tarzan's House." The time he
supposedly visited the Lake Elsinore area was in the years after he participated in the Olympic
Games and at the beginning of his movie career." Furthermore, "Everything we lalow about it is
hearsay and cannot be verified." (Atkins 2013:pers. comm.).
Telecommunications with community historian Ms. Jean Corral, long time resident of
Lake Elsinore (since 1964), and a member of the Historical Society resulted in a similar finding.
14
She had no specific historical or architectural knowledge to offer on the 523 W. Minthorn Street
residence. Furthermore, what information she had heard about Johnny Weissmuller was now
hearsay as these informants have all passed away (Corral 2013:pers. comm.).
VL LAND PATENTS
Archival research also included a review of land patents on file with the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) in their Moreno Valley office. The subject parcel is situated within the
Southeast 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4 of fractional Section 5, Township 6 South, Range 4 West,
San Bernardino Base Meridian. BLM General Land Office records indicate that two land patents
have been recorded for the study area. The first patent, which covers all of Section 5, was issued
to Abel Stearns in 1851 as part of the larger, 13,337.84 acre La Laguna Rancho. The acreage
was acquired under authority of the Spanish /Mexican Land Grant dated March 3, 1851 (9 Stat.
631). The patent is recorded as Document # Plc 495 (Accession # CACAAA 083219).
The second patent comprising 40 acres (Southeast 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4 of Section 5)
was issued to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. It was part of 71,268.54 acres acquired
under the authority of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Grant of July 27, 1866 (14 Stat. 292).
The land patent is recorded as Document 423, Accession # CACAAA 072835.
VH. HISTORIC MAP RESEARCH
Historic maps of the Lake Elsinore area were also reviewed for the purpose of identifying
locations of potential historic resources. This included an examination of the 1880 U.S. General
Land Office (GLO) plat map for Township 6 South, Range 4 West, San Bernardino Base
Meridian on file with the California Desert District office of the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management located in Moreno Valley. Several United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps
on file in the Map Room of the Science Library at the University of California at Riverside were
also inspected. These included: 1) the 1901 Elsinore 30' USGS Quadrangle (surveyed 1897 -98),
the 1942 Luke Elsinore 15' Quadrangle (Corps. of Engineers, U.S. Army, War Department), and
the 1953 Lake Elsinore 7.5' USGS Topographic Quadrangle.
Other maps consulted included a 200 -scale map dated 1972 for Section 5, Township 6
South, Range 4 West, SBBM that was acquired from the Riverside County Flood Control and
Water Conservation District. The 1925 -1933 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map for Elsinore,
15
Riverside County (digital version) was also reviewed on -line from the San Diego Public Library.
Unfortunately, the property lay just outside the map coverage area. All information gleaned
from the various maps is presented below.
An inspection of the General Land Office Plat Map for Township 6 South, Range 4 West
shows the lake and portion of Abel Stearns' Rancho La Laguna. In addition, a dirt road is
indicated paralleling the north side of tile San Jacinto River through what is today Railroad
Canyon. Section 5 (location of study area) as well as several adjoining sections is illustrated as
being quite hilly. It appears to include five government lots (I through 5) that range in size
between 25 -30 acres. Remaining section land is divided into 40, 80 and 160 acre parcels. No
structures or man -made features are delineated within the study area.
A review of the 1901 Elsinore 30' USGS Quadrangle indicates that the core of Elsinore is
well - established with a well - developed grid of roads and streets. The California Southern
Railroad is shown extending through Railroad Canyon. Also indicated between Elsinore
Junction and Alberhill is California Southern's Elsinore - Alberhill railroad spur line which was a
direct result of the coal and clay operations in the area. No structures or man -made features are
delineated within the study area.
The 1942 Lake Elsinore 15' U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers, War Dept. Quadrangle
indicates the same conditions as the 1901 Elsinore map but with the addition of more extensive
roads and additional development. The new community of North Elsinore has also been
established northeast of the City. Portions of Route 71, Route 74 and Highway 395 are indicated
along Lakeshore Drive, Central Avenue, and Mission Trail. Nearby Railroad Canyon Dam and
Railroad Canyon Reservoir are also depicted. As the California Southern Railroad tracks were
abandoned through Railroad Canyon in 1935, they are no longer illustrated. However, the
aforementioned spur line has now been replaced with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Pe line.
Situated just north of the end of Main Street, the 1942 map shows the hills of the study
area covered by a myriad of dirt roads. However, no structures of any kind are delineated oil the
property although they were certainly present at the time. This is not surprising as on numerous
occasions, government maps (specifically U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) have chosen to
excluded certain building locations from their war department maps.
A review of the 1953 Lake Elsinore 75 USGS Topographic Quadrangles show that
conditions have not significantly changed since publication of the 1942 Lake Elsinore map. The
16
region is composed of scattered rural development with a higher concentration in the urban core
of Elsinore. The road system through the area continues to expand with both new and improved
roads /streets. An inspection of the study area continues to show a pattern of dirt roads
connecting the various hilltops over the entire, 258 +acre Delaney Ranch property. However,
unlike the previous map, this one clearly shows the location of the main house and pool (labeled
"swimming pool ").
The 1972 Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation map for Section 5,
Township 6 South, Range 4 West is the best and most informative of all the maps. The 200 -
scale map, clearly delineates the specific locations of the various buildings and structures that
were spread out across the entire 258 -acre Delaney Ranch property (fig. 4). For accuracy, Ms.
White consulted with Mr. Reed Webb (son of Servco Ranches partner, E. Ray Webb) for the
labeling of each building /structure location. As a comparison today, one can see the livestock
area was situated quite a distance to the east of the house (in recently quarried canyon, figure 5).
Flies must have been one consideration. In any event, the map is also important as it shows the
site of the former ranch caretaker's house (at the base of hill).
VHI. PROPERTY HISTORY
Research on the history of the subject property was conducted at the County of Riverside
Robert J. Fitch Archives in Moreno Valley and the adjacent Riverside County Assessor- Clerk-
Recorder office. Specific data procured from these County facilities included: 1) Property
ownership entries from 1920 -1970 Lot Books, 2) Grantee - Grantor records, and 3) pertinent
deeds. In addition, the history sections of the Riverside Public Library (main library) and the
Lake Elsinore Branch Library were examined. Specific sources consulted included literary
works by Tom Hudson (Lake Elsinore Valley, its story 1776 - 1977 [1978]) and Elizabeth C.
James (Elsinore History Vignettes [1973]). The Elsinore Leader -Press newspaper was also
inspected (in microfilm format) for the years 1928 -1932 as was the Index to the collection of
Tom Patterson's "Out of the County's Past" column from the Press - Enterprise (dated 1978-
1996). Other news /history magazines (Tire High Country and La Laguna Revue) were also
consulted.

Supplemental information was drawn from city directories and online databases (U.S.
Federal Census records, California Voter Registration (1900- 1968), California Death Index from
1940 -1997, the Social Security Death Index) accessed through Ancestry.con?. Lastly, valuable
information was obtained through interviews with relatives of the previous ranch owners. These
included Mr. H. Reed Webb, Mr. Jon Westerlund, and Mr. Roy J. Horton.
A Compilation of Parcels by the Hahn Family
Unlike most properties within Riverside County, no early tract maps were found for the
study area. However, as previously indicated in the land patent section of the report (Section
VI), after forming a part of the Rancho La Laguna, the Southern Pacific Land Company was
granted portions of Section 5. During the 1920s, the Elsinore (now Lake Elsinore) area was
becoming a popular vacation destination primarily due to its recreational lake and mineral baths.
Consequently, families came looking to buy investment property.
In 1923, John Halm of Los Angeles purchased Government Lots 3 (26.90 ac.) and Lot 4
(26.11 ac.) in the eastern foothills of Section 5 overlooking the lake from the railroad. Within a
few short years, he had acquired an additional 205+ acres of contiguous property (see Table 1).
According to the 1910 U.S. Federal Census, John Hahn was born in Germany in 1870 and
immigrated to the United States in 1895. California Voter Registration (1900 -1968) for Los
Angeles County indicated that Mr. Hahn was trained as an Engineer. He and his wife, Johanne
(also from Germany and a dressmaker) resided at 1338 E. 56`x' Street in Los Angeles.
However, just as fast as the Hahns acquired parcels, they were selling them. This began
with Mr. Hahn selling off Government Lots 3 and 4 in 1926. Subsequently, Mrs. Hahn was
forced to sell the remaining acreage (200+ acres) following her husband's death. This property
was also conveyed to A.J. Delaney of Long Beach.
B A T Delaney and the 258+ Acre Elsinore Ranch
Arthur Joy Delaney was a native of West Virginia. He was born in the community of
Wetzel in 1883 and was the eldest of three children born to Wesley and Mary Criswell Delaney
(1900 U.S. Census). Presumably, Arthur received an education in West Virginia as he remained
there at least to the age of 17 (ibid.). Subsequently, he married Golda Pearl Long of Pine Grove,
West Virginia. The couple ventured west to southern California circa 1905. The 1910 U.S.
20
Census indicated that they were living on Gilmore Lane in Cahuenga, Los Angeles County with
their first child, Norma Delaney and Arthur was a manager of an oil company. His 1917 -1918
Draft Registration Card indicates that he was a resident of Montebello and was employed as an
oil worker for Petroleum Industry Company of Los Angeles.

By 1920, the Delaney family was complete with four children (Norma, Louis, Doris, and
Patricia). Arthur met continued success in the oil business and the Delaneys moved to Long
Beach (Cherry Avenue and then Atlantic Avenue). In the early 1920s, Perry Vandervort was
partners with Arthur in the oil refinery business on Signal Hill (Independent Press - Telegram
1960). On November 10, 1926, the Delaney Petroleum Corporation was incorporated with a
registered address of 695 Cast 27`x' Street, Room 5, Long Beach (California Secretary of State
2013a). City directories indicate that A.J. Delaney was president of the corporation with J.R.
Covington serving as secretary and treasurer.
By 1930, Mr. A.J. Delaney had purchased all 258.86 acres from the Hahn family which
included: Government Lot 1 (28.43 ac.), Lot 2 (27.66 ac.), Lot 3 (26.90 ac.), Lot 4 (26.11 ac.)
Lot 5 (29.76 ac.), the Southeast 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4 (40 acres), and the South 1/2 of the
Northeast 1/4 (80 ac.) of Section 5, Township 6 South, Range 4 West, SBBM (Table 2). It is
21
believed that Mr. Delaney was the property owner who had the entire property professionally
fenced. Most likely it was erected prior to the construction of the main house.
According to County records, there is no building activity noted between 1930 -1934
within the Southeast 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4 where the ranch house is located. The first time a
building value appears is in 1935 with a value of $480. Between 1936 -1938, this is followed by
a value of $11530. Therefore, it is believed that that although A.J. Delaney owned the property
in 1930, the ranch house was not under construction until five years later in 1935 (see table).
This information was confirmed with Mr. James Hofer, Archives Manager of the Robert J. Fitch
Archives (see Table 2).

Arthur Joy Delaney died in Torrance in November of 1955. His son, Louis A. "Bud"
Delaney followed on in his father's footsteps and was both Vice President of the Delaney
Petroleum Corporation and Secretary /Treasurer of Halo Oil Producers, Inc. in Long Beach
(Independent Press - Telegram 1958).
According to Roy Horton, the Elsinore ranch property was used as a second home or
summer house for the Delaney family. Although Arthur Delaney's wife thought it was too
rustic, Roy's mother loved the ranch (Horton 2013:pers.comm.). After all, it was where Roy's
mother Patricia Joy Delaney (youngest daughter of Arthur and Golda Delaney) met his father
Wesley R. Horton. Patricia or "Patsy" would often ride the ranch horses down to Elsinore High
School and watch Wesley during football practice. They soon became sweethearts. Wesley was
18 and Patsy was 15 (Horton 2013:pers. comm.).
After graduating from Elsinore High School, Arthur Delaney gave Wesley a job as an oil
worker in the Delaney oil fields. This was while Patsy was finishing her education at
Polytechnic High School in Long Beach. Roy said that his mother had her own driver that would
take her to and from high school every day. Eventually, Wesley Horton tired of the oil business
and announced that he wanted to become a mortician. This news did not go over well with
Patsy's family. According to Roy, there was "no way Arthur Delaney's youngest daughter was
going to many a mortician." (ibid.). Instead, Wesley was encouraged to try banking and started
out as an Assistant Cashier at Farmers & Merchants Bank in Long Beach. This led him to
pursue a career in banking where he became Vice President and Manager of the Farmers &
Merchants Bank. Wesley R. Horton died in 2011 followed by Patricia Delaney Horton in April
of 2013. Both are buried in the Elsinore Valley Cemetery in Lake Elsinore (Long Beach Press -
Telegram 2013).
C. The Frey Family
In 1947, the Delaney Petroleum Corporation sold Government Lot 1 (28.43 ac.), Lot 2
(27.66 ac.), Lot 3 (26.90 ac.), Lot 4 (26.11 ac.) Lot 5 (29.76 ac.), the Southeast 1/4 of the
Northwest 1/4 (40 acres), and the South 1/2 of the Northeast 1/4 (80 ac.) of Section 5, Township
6 South, Range 4 West, SBBM to Carl C. Frey and his wife Blanche A. Frey. The couple only
owned the property for two years (1947 - 1948). U.S. City Directories for the South Pasadena
area indicated that Carl Frey was a Designer between 1938 -1940. The 1940 U.S. Federal Census
23
listed Carl as "Head Designer." In 1946 they moved to Burbank and by 1952 they were living in
Phoenix, Arizona. It is believed that Carl Clarence Frey died in Butte County in October of 1959
(California Death Index, 1940 - 1997). His widow, Blanche continued to live in Chico, Butte
County, California until her death.
D. Carter and Green
For the years 1949 -1951, the property owners of Government Lot 1 (28.43 ac.), Lot 2
(27.66 ac.), Lot 3 (26.90 ac.), Lot 4 (26.11 ac.) Lot 5 (29.76 ac.), the Southeast 1/4 of the
Northwest 1/4 (40 acres), and the South 1/2 of the Northeast 1/4 (80 ac.) of Section 5, Township
6 South, Range 4 West, SBBM were Richard A. Carter and Roy C. Green. Unfortunately, no
real information about the partners could be found. The only reference to Roy C. Green was a
1947 Santa Ana City Directory. Listed under the Spouse category is the name "G.G. Sanitarium
Green."
E. The Atkinson Family
For one brief year (1952) George E. Atkinson, Jr. and his wife Alice were the listed
property owners of Government Lot 1 (28.43 ac.), Lot 2 (27.66 ac.), Lot 3 (26.90 ac.), Lot 4
(26.11 ac.) Lot 5 (29.76 ac.), the Southeast 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4 (40 acres), and the South 1/2
of the Northeast 1/4 (80 ac.) of Section 5, Township 6 South, Range 4 West, SBBM. The 1951
City Directory for Long Beach indicated that Mr. Atkinson was an attorney residing on
California Avenue. Sometime in the early 1990s, the family moved to Paramount. In an
interview with Mr. Reed Webb, he stated that he was familiar with the Long Beach attorney's
name (Webb 2013:pers. comm.).
F Partnership of Webb Westerlund Malian and Van Note /Servco
Between 1947 -1948, a company known as Servco of Long Beach was formed by four
partners: E. Ray Webb, Paul Westerhmd, Raymond Mahan, and Charles O. Van Note. Each
individual brought their expertise to the partnership. Mr. Westerlund was an Attorney, E. Ray
Webb was a Mechanical Engineer, Mr. Malian had a Ph.D. in Chemistry, and Mr. Van Note was
a Petroleum Engineer.
24
The four partners developed a specialized drilling collar for the petroleum industry
fashioned from an alloy of nickel, copper and aluminum known as K Monel. This nonmagnetic
alloy was age - hardenable and could be heat - treated after finishing to produce a material that was
both corrosion - resistant and extra strong. It was useful to the oil industry in that it could be used
as a drilling collar that housed instruments necessary for directional drilling. The drill collar was
patented by The Servco Company (Patent number 3476415 was patented on November 4, 1969;
Charles O. Van Note - Inventor). It was an expensive item that was leased to drilling companies.
Servco was eventually purchased by Smith International in 1968 (Webb 2013:pers. connn.).
In the early 1950s, the Servco partners (dba Servco Ranches) were looking for investment
property in Arizona but settled on Elsinore in Riverside County. The lake was completely dry at
that time and as a result property was quite cheap. According to Mr. Webb, the property was
purchased from the "Rockwood School For Boys" (ibid.). However, a review of the Grant Deed
clearly indicates that in 1953, the 258 -acre property comprising Government Lot 1 (28.43 ac.),
Lot 2 (27.66 ac.), Lot 3 (26.90 ac.), Lot 4 (26.11 ac.) Lot 5 (29.76 ac.), the Southeast 1/4 of the
Northwest 1/4 (40 acres), and the South 1/2 of the Northeast 1/4 (80 ac.) of Section 5, Township
6 South, Range 4 West, SBBM was transferred directly to the partners from the Atkinsons. No
reference to the Boys School could be found.
In 1955 the partners formed The Servco Foundation, a domestic nonprofit corporation
(California Secretary of State 2013b). Three years later, they carved out the 2.92 -acre parcel that
appears today and what is referred as the study area. The legal description is "Beginning 417.18'
NE of SW corner of SE' /4 ofNW ' /4, the NW 82', NE 73', NF, 603.11', SE 170.52', SW 745.36',
NW 98'to Point of Beginning (POB). Land value in 1959 for this parcel was $100 while it had
an improvement /building value of $21,930.
G The YMCA and Subsequent Owners
On April 3, 1973, The Servco Foundation and surviving relatives of the Webb,
Westerlund, Mahan, and Van Note families conveyed all of the Elsinore property (258 acres) as
a "gift" to the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) of Greater Long Beach (Document #
42031). Mr. Clyde L. Bronn served as manager for the YMCA. There are approximately nine
other separate deeds (one per surviving relative) on file for the transfer.
25
Within a year of receiving the ranch from The Servco Foundation, the YMCA conveyed
the property to the Mobil Oil Corporation. Some of the latter owners included Leroy and Vera
Baughman of Sun City (1978), Missing Link Investor 11, a limited partnership of Lake Elsinore
(1981), and Spyglass Ranch, LLC of Newport Beach (2004)
IX. THE DELANEY RANCH COMPLEX
When Arthur J. Delaney owned the property there were at the very least horses and
milking cows on the ranch. They were stabled quits a distance to the east of the ranch house
complex. However, livestock totals grew substantially when the Servco partners acquired the
property. According to Reed Webb, there were many horses, about 20 pigs, 14 sheep, 100 -200
turkeys, 2,000 chickens and several peacocks (Webb 2013:pers. comrn.).
It is not known if Delaney had a ranch caretaker but it would be fair to assume so. It is
known that from the early 1950s to the early 1970s, that the Servco partners employed two
caretakers. The caretaker's house was located below the large ranch house at the base of the hill
(fig. 4). This structure is believed to have been demolished in the early 1980s as a result of new
highway construction. Nothing is known about the origin of the house other than it may have
predated the Delaney's ranch house.
Initially, Mr. Al Yorba and his wife Edith? served as the ranch caretakers in the early to
mid 1950s. Apparently, Mr. Yorba was quite the rancher and came highly recommended (ibid.).
In addition to the numerous animals, there was also a lot of planting and watering to be done.
The 1958 -1959 Riverside County Directory indicated that a second caretaker, Mr. Winfield Scott
Brownell (aka Winfield Hastings) and his wife Joy were managers of Servco Ranch. The
Brownells remained the ranch caretakers through 1973 when the Servco Foundation donated the
ranch to the YMCA. In addition to the Webb, Westerlund, Mahan, and Van Note families, the
ranch was enjoyed by members of the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Church Youth Groups, and the
American Field Service (AFS) as the ranch house had several rooms described as dormitories.
X. FIELD SURVEY
A field survey of the project site for historic resources tools at intervals during June and
July, 2013. Field personnel included Laura S. White, M.A. and Robert S. White. The intensive
survey was conducted by thoroughly examining the built environment within the subject 2.92-
26
acre parcel. This included an examination of the existing ranch house at 523 W. Minthorn
Street, nearby pool house, swimming pool, and "lookout tower ". Field notes and photographs
were taken of all standing buildings and structures located within APN 377 - 350 -004. Outside
the parcel, locations of fonder ranch buildings and structures were briefly inspected using the
200 -scale Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation map of Section 5 as a guide.
XI. BUILDING RECORDS FOR THE STUDY AREA
Building records for the study area were procured fi-om Mr. Michael Sprang, Senior
Appraiser, Agricultural Division, with the Riverside County Assessor - Clerk- Recorder. Initial
county appraisal records for the property date to 1967. At this time, the effective year or date of
construction for the residence was listed as 1930. The building description indicates that the
residence measures 3816 sq. ft. and comprises 4 bedrooms, 2 dormitories, and 3 baths. Other
rooms include a living room, dining room, sunroom (solarium), kitchen, utility room, and 2 entry
halls. The appraiser noted the following:
...Excellent plaster work throughout house. Walls constructed of
hollow tile. Stuccoed exterior with 2 x 4 framework on interior
with lath and plaster. Creates very thick walls (Riverside County
Assessor 1967).
Other buildings recorded under the heading "Miscellaneous Structures" included: 1) a swimming
pool and reservoir (cistern), 2) pool house, and 3) "Lookout tower."
XII. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF 523 W. MINTHORN STREET COMPLEX
A. Ranch House
Originally, this single -story ranch house was U- shaped in plan with covered porches and
a central courtyard (plates I -Ill). As originally conceived, the architectural style of the house is
best described as Spanish Eclectic as the fapade was symmetrical rather than asymmetrical as
found in the Spanish Revival style. Many of the same architectural elements such as low - pitched
roofs clad in red tile, stucco covered walls, and arched entries are shared by Spanish Eclectic,
Spanish Revival and Mission Revival.
27
Today, the building is very irregular in plan as several additions such as dormitories and
guest rooms have been added over the years. The classic low- pitched gable roof is clad with a
double layer of red clay tiles. Minimal, overhanging eaves have rounded rafter tails and attic
vents consist of the cell or concavity portion of hollow tiles. Shed roof porches with open beam
ceilings front the courtyard and are covered with red clay tile. Porch roof supports comprise
stucco pillars that are also likely constructed of hollow tile (plate V:top). The porch walkways
comprise large, rectangular clay tiles. In addition to a semi - circular arched opening, there were
three large, thick and heavy solid wood doors in the inner patio area. Outside, there were two
paneled doors for the solarium and kitchen (Webb 2013:pers. comm.). Fenestration consists of
square, metal - framed two - over -two double hung sashes. An interior chimney which
accommodated two, back to back hearths is located midway along the southwest portion of the
residence. The chimney is clad in stucco and has three terra cotta flue extensions (plate BI).
Attached to the west end of the main house is a large, shed roof addition that extends
outward over the slope. It comprises a sun room or solarium and balcony (plate IV:bottom).
The specific date of construction of the addition is not known. However, it was there in 1953
when the Servco partners purchased the property. The dead space below the solarium was
converted into a "smoke room" where meat was preserved and another area for curing cheese
(Westerlund 2013:pers. comm., Webb 2013:pers. comm.). Originally, there were two garages
separated by a carport. The closest one to the courtyard was later converted into a large
dormitory sometime in the mid 1950s by the Servco partners (plate Mbottom). In addition, the
milk room attached to the back of the kitchen was turned into guest quarters (plate 1V).
The house and all of the subsequent additions with exception of the sun room are
constructed upon concrete slabs. All original exterior walls and some interior, are constructed
from 12" x 12" x 8" hollow tile (plate VI and plate VII:top). Each tile has 6 concavities or cells
that measure 2 1/4" x 3 ". Tiles are stamped "Alberhill Loadbearing LAB Co." As indicated,
these particular hollow tiles were manufactured locally by the LA Brick Co. in Alberhill (Plate
VII).
Briefly, hollow building tiles were commonly used for building construction during the
first quarter of the 20 °i century. Since stucco was usually the exterior covering, Mission and
Mediterranean revival styles are some of the most common types of homes built with the blocks
(Kibbe] 2004). In November of 1915, plans were drawn for a new firebrick plant in Alberhill.
28
These plans also included hollow -tile dwellings for the workers and a townsite. Construction of
the plant began in August of 1916 and two months later, Plant Number 4 of the Los Angeles
Pressed Brick Company was completed. Harvey Gardner was the plant superintendent, R.S.
Stone, assistant superintendent (Mosier 2010).
Overall, the ranch house complex is in poor condition. Only sporadically occupied over
the last 25- years, the ravages of time and vandalism including various interior and exterior
demolitions and unfinished modifications have taken their toll on the building. Today, the
integrity of the ranch house is tenuous at best and has reached a point where it appears to be
impractical to restore.
B. Pool House
Located on the hilltop to the northeast of the ranch house is the Pool House (Plate VIII).
This northwest- southeast oriented building is rectangular in plan and lies just southwest of the
swimming pool. It rests on a concrete slab and is constructed of H- pattern cement blocks (12" x
12" x 3 1/2 ") with two horizontal cavities (plate VII:bottom) that are coated with thick plaster.
The building has a low- pitched gable roof that is planked and covered with clay tiles (many of
which are missing or broken). Eaves have exposed rafter tails and fenestration comprises
rectangular openings with either modern double hung sashes or just window screen. Fronting the
pool is a series of five private changing rooms (two that included plumbing for toilets).
Entrances to these rooms are sheltered by a covered patio Supported by a series of four,
elliptically- shaped arches. The structure is in very poor condition (plate VIII).
C. Swimming Pool
The concrete pool is rectangular in shape and oriented northeast- southwest. It has inside
dimensions of 30' x 90' which are nowhere close to those of an Olympic size pool (82' x 164')
as previously recorded (Meredith 1982). For safety reasons, the pool has been filled in with soil
and appears to have been this way for decades. Located at the northeast end of the pool is a
redwood plank diving board on concrete pedestals (plate IX). Based upon its presence, this end
of the pool most likely had a depth of at least 8 feet. According to Mr. Webb:
29
...If we kept the pump running, the cistern would overflow into a
4 -inch pipe that extended over the swimming pool and this was
used to fill the huge 30' x 90' pool. The pool was used then as a
reservoir for all of the very extensive landscape irrigation around
the house and over to the livestock area in the middle of the ranch.
It was always a favorite to float under the overflow spout with
water tumbling at least ten or twelve feet down into the pool. I can
remember being told that it was expensive to fill the pool because
of the power used and the cost of the water that could get algae
buildup if left unattended for too long." (Webb 2013:pers. comm.).
D. The "Lookout" and Cistern
A 12' x 12' structure is located upslope just northwest of the swimming pool. From this
vantage point, one could sit and enjoy the spectacular view of Lake Elsinore (ibid.). The top half
of the structure includes an elevated platform with tile floor and open beam construction. The
gabled roof is fashioned from 1" x 6" tongue -and- groove and covered with clay tiles. It is
supported by four stucco clad pillars.
The lower half of the structure is concrete and houses the cistern (plate X). Access to the
water feature is from a square hatch centrally located at the rear of the structure. From below the
access hatch sill, the cistern is 8 feet deep. Water for the cistern was pumped uphill from a large
electric pump located at the base of the hill below the main house in the vicinity of the
Caretaker's house. Water was then piped down to the house for domestic use (Webb 2013:pers.
comm.).
XIII. CRITERIA FOR DETERMINATIONS OF ELIGIBILITY
The Delaney Ranch House situated at 523 W. Minthorn Street (Primary # 33 -7228) was
fist evaluated for historical /architectural significance in 1982 by the Riverside County Historical
Commission. At that time, the residence was said to be of adobe construction and represent "one
of the best examples of Mediterranean /Spanish style homes built in the late 1920s building
boom. Its gazebo, cabana, and Olympic -size swimming pool make it unique in the Lake Elsinore
Valley" (Meredith 1982). Consequently, the complex was assigned a California Historical
Resource Status Code of 3S "Appears eligible for NR as an individual property through survey
evaluation." However, this high status code (the lower the number the higher or more significant
the status code) is the result of some misinformation.
30
The residence was re- visited by JMA in 2013 at which time it was re- evaluated for
significance under two separate legislative sources: 1) the National Historic Preservation Act of
1966 (NHPA), which includes criteria for eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places
(NRHP), and 2) the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) which includes criteria for
California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) eligibility.
A. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Evaluation
In order for an historic resource to be significant pursuant to Federal law, it must be
eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Generally, listing in the
NRHP requires that a building or structure be at least 50 years old and that it possess "The
quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture ...
present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location,
design, setting, material, workmanship, feeling, and association ..." and ...
(A) That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the
broad patterns of our history or
(B) That are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or
(C) That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of
construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic
values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose
components may lack individual distinction; or
(D) That have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory
or history."
B California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) Evaluation
According to California law, only significant historic resources require consideration
beyond the identification stage in the environmental review process. Significant historical
resources "are resources which are listed in the California Register of Historical Resources
(CRHR: Ca. Code of Regs. §15064.5). In addition, "Any object, building, structure, site, area,
place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or
significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational,
social, political, military, or cultural annals of California may be considered to be an historical
31
resource "...if the resource meets the criteria for listing in the CRHR. An eligible resource is one
which:
(A) It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad
patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the
United States.
(B) It is associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national
history;
(C) It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of
construction, or represents the work of a master or possesses high artistic values;
or
(D) It has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory
or history of the local area, California, or the nation.
XIV. DETERMINATIONS OF ELIGIBILITY
A. NI2HP and CRHR
Criterion A
Fairly extensive research has indicated that the Delaney Ranch House and associated
structures are not associated with any event important in the regional history of California or the
United States. Consequently, the residence does not appear eligible for listing in either the
NRI -IP or the CRHR under Criterion A.
Criterion? B
The ranch house complex was constructed by Arthur Delaney, a successful oil man from
Long Beach. However, many individuals in the Lake Elsinore were of the opinion that Olympic
swimmer and Hollywood actor Johnny Weissmuller had a direct connection to the ranch.
Extensive background research and interviews with the descendents of previous owners have
shown this to be patently false. Weismuller did not build the house let alone own the property.
Insofar as anyone can recall, he never rented or leased the house. That is not to say that he may
have been invited for a visit but no one interviewed ever recalled Weissmuller stepping foot on
the property. Consequently, research has failed to identify any person connected to the Delaney
32
Ranch House considered to be important to National or California history. Therefore, the
residence does not appear eligible for listing in the NRHP or CRHR under Criterion B.
Criterion C
Research has indicated that construction of the Delaney Ranch House did not begin until
1935. No architect has been identified with the undertaking. Although the style of the complex
is Spanish Eclectic, the classic `U' shape of the Californio Rancho has been significantly
adulterated to where it is almost unrecognizable. Today, the complex is fundamentally a series
of box additions to the original core designed to increase useable living space with complete
disregard to architectural continuity.
When first recorded in 1982, the residence was thought to be of adobe construction
(Meredith 1982). But in actuality, it is built of hollow tiles covered with thick plaster or stucco.
The use of load bearing hollow tiles for the exterior and some interior walls does not appear to be
unique in house construction for the period as the Alberhill LA Brick Co. manufactured a great
deal of them for the local and national markets. Unfortunately, they suffer from the same
seismic instability problems found in all unreinforced masonry construction.
The loss of architectural integrity through haphazard additions and modifications coupled
with a significantly deteriorated physical state, have resulted in reducing the house to little more
than a curiosity. For these reasons, the Delaney Ranch House does not appear eligible for the
NRHP or CRHR under Criterion C.
Criterion D
Criterion D is generally reserved for prehistoric and historic archaeological sites whose
further study could yield additional important data. As the Delaney Ranch House is not
archaeological in nature, it does not appear eligible for listing in the NRHP or CRHR under
Criterion D.
XV. RDCOMMDNDATIONS
As presently proposed, the Delaney Ranch House and associated structures are slated for
demolition. However, since none of the buildings or swimming pool are considered
architecturally or historically significant at the federal and state levels, there will be no adverse
33
impacts to historic resources. Therefore, no additional measures in conjunction with cultural
resources are recommended for the Delaney Ranch House, Pool House, Pool or Lookout.

Mike Barber (prehistory). Report on file with the Virginia Dept. of Historic Resources; reviewed
and accepted by the Virginia Marine Resources Commission and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
* Chapin Adobe, City of Indian Wells, Riverside County (1989). Conducted both test and
salvage archaeological investigations of the Chapin Adobe. This interesting structure, which
belonged to one of Indian Well's first white immigrant families, existed only as "melted" foundations
at the time the study commenced. Based upon the archaeological evidence and historical
information and photographs acquired with the help of the Chapin family, Van Horn was able to
reconstruct the entire building on paper. This study provided some surprising data on adobe
building techniques employed by the early settlers of the Coachella Valley. City of Indian Wells.
* Peralta Adobe, Anaheim Hills, Orange County (1983 -84). This mid -19th century adobe
was a ruin at the outset of the investigation, the second floor having been burned out and many of
the doors and windows altered or removed altogether. Van Horn studied the remaining architectural
features intensively, often removing elements of late remodeling in order to expose evidence of the
original construction. Ile also conducted archaeological excavations in and around the adobe which
resulted in the recovery of many period artifacts. Today, the Ramon Peralta Adobe stands as a
renovated structure which contains exhibits of photographs and artifacts acquired during my
investigation. The entire project was conducted under the auspices of the Orange Comity Historical
Commission and the Orange County Department of Parks and Recreation.

history of the property. If the society is aware of any literature, photos, or local residents that
may have special knowledge of the residence, we would very much like to hear from you. You

Dear Laura:
Re: Historic Residence located at 523 West Minthorn Street, lake Elsinore
In response to your letter about the subject property, we have absolutely nothing on this site. We
do, however, have lots of people who swear they know this property belonged to Johnny
Weissmuller or refer to it as Tarzan's House. One of our historians used to work downtown and
saw him driving his car up and down Main Street. Another person tells the story that his father
had an agency for movie stars and was an agent for Weissmuller. Everything we know about it
is heresy and cannot be verified. The people who could verify the stories are now deceased.
There is one lady in town who remembers going there as a little girl but she has no pictures just
memories. One of our members used to be a real estate broker in town and she did a title search
but his name did not show as an owner of the property.
Over the years, we have decided a friend owned the property. With the large swimming pool,
Weissmuller may have visited frequently. During the time, he supposedly visited here was after
his years of participating in the Olympic Games and at the beginning of his movie career.
A son -in -law of his claims Weissmuller was never in Elsinore (as the town was called then) but
he did not become a member of the family until around the 1960s.
If you find anything that can verify his presence in Elsinore, we would appreciate your sharing it
with us.
Sincerely,
Ruth Atkins
