County Recorder's Office ("Effective Date") and shall remain in effect for a term of ten (10) years

(3) Standards for Historical Property. During the term of this Agreement, the Historic
Property shall be subject to the following conditions, requirements, and restrictions:
(a) Owner shall immediately implement the list of goals and general improvement plans for
maintenance, restoration and rehabilitation of the Historic Property as set forth in Exhibit D to this
Agreement ("Restoration Plan") in order to bring the Historic Property into conformance with the

construction, reconstruction, alteration, restoration, demolition, or removal of any such external
architectural feature when the Community Development Director determines that such action is

can be replaced according to the standards described in subsection (a), above.
Page 2 of 14

Owner or occupants of the Historic Property or the public.
(d) Owner shall maintain the Historic Property in a manner that does not block the view of

such records to the new Owner of the Historic Property.
(c) Owner shall submit annually to the Community Development Director a report which
shall specify all work completed during the preceding twelve months to comply with the
requirements of this Agreement and report on such other items as may be specified by the
Community Development Director.
(d) Owner shall allow for periodic examinations, by prior appointment, of the interior and
exterior of the Historic Property by representatives of the County Assessor, State Department of
Parks and Recreation, State Board of Equalization, (collectively the "Interested Agencies") and/or
the City. The Community Development Director shall determine when periodic examinations by the

2. ADDRESS: 14475 Oak Place, Saratoga, CA 95070
3. ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER: 397-22-053
COMPLETE LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 9 and 10, Block 2, as shown on that certain
map entitled "Amended Map of Saratoga Park Lots", which map was filed for record in the
Office of the recorder of The County of Santa Clara, State of California, on August 17, 1914

4. RANGE OF ADDRESSES: 14475 Oak Place
5. PRESENT OWNERS: Mathew Duchesne and Ashley G. Duchesne
6. OWNERSHIP: Private
7. PRESENT AND ORIGINAL USE: Single Family Residential
8. ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Craftsman
9. PRESENT PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: This one -and -one -half -story house represents a
Craftsman design from the early -twentieth century. Houses from the Craftsman era —about
1905 to 1925—embody a local design response to the Arts -and -Crafts movement, as
presented in such historic magazines as Craftsman. The character of this house is embodied
in its deep eaves, broad bell -cast roof, and shed dormer. Part of the imposing roofline covers
a recessed "L"-shaped porch while a gable extends over a porte cochere. The porch is
surrounded by massive square posts, wrapped in the same shingles as the house. A tripartite
focal window is featured at the first floor, while the second story includes an unusual
combination of wood slider unit surrounded by angled eave units. City records indicate that
the wood casement windows were restored from a former plate -glass alteration. Oak Place
reportedly separated the original carriage house from this property; it has been renovated for
use as a residence
10. CONSTRUCTION DATE: 1910-1912
11. ARCHITECT, DESIGNER, OR ENGINEER: Unknown
12. CONTRACTOR/BUILDER: Unknown
13. PHOTOGRAPHS: Included in Department of Parks and Recreation Primary Record
14. CONDITION: Excellent with its age. Estimated maintenance and preservation costs are
$246,700 over the course of ten years. The roof, gutter, windows, wood siding and trim
require ongoing maintenance. Period woodwork inside and out requires annual treatment and
repairs.
15. ALTERATIONS: Although its windows were altered and subsequently restored, the house
retains much of its character -defining architectural design, workmanship and materials, as
well as a historic location and compatible setting, and the property continues to represent the
overall historical associations and feelings of the residence.
16. THREATS TO THE SITE: The site is located on Oak Place and is in an area where homes
have been demolished and rebuilt.
17. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Mrs. John Bell (Mrs. E.R.H. Bell or Emily Ruth
Harris) built this home shortly after the death of her husband. She lived here as a widow with
her three daughters. Her husband was the brother of Mr. David Bell of "Bellgrove" on
Saratoga -Los Gatos Rd. The Bells were all from Minneapolis. Mrs. John Bell purchased the
land from her brother-in-law, since the David Bells and G.A. Woods owned most of the land
in this area at the time.
Almond Hill is listed on the Saratoga Heritage Resources Inventory, included as a part of
HP-88-01. It qualified under Criteria a and b: a) the property exemplifies and reflects special
elements of the cultural, social, economic, aesthetic, and architectural history of Saratoga;
and b) the property is identified with persons significant in local history; Almond Hill is
eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources, as it is a Designated Landmark
Structure.
