Dear Mr. Holmes:
The Hoard of Directors of the Redlands Area Historical Society, Inc. unanimously
passed at our meeting of January 9, 1984 a resolution supporting the effort of
the City's Historic and Scenic Preservation Clission to obtain Federal fund-
ing for the purpose of expanding of the City's Cultural Resources Inventory.
As an early sponsor and contributor to the initial inventory work in 1976,
the Society particularily realizes the value such an effort can be to the
City of Redlands. A more ccanplete inventory of the architectural heritage of
Redlands will be an important tool in implementing the forthcoming Historic
Preservation Element of the General Plan.
The Historical Society's annual Heritage Home Award program has provided an
excellent training means for the type of research required for the Inventory.
In this regard we offer our c.cmnittnent to provide volunteer workers from the
Society mrship to assist in any way necessary.
bde sincerely hope for the successful receipt of the Cultural Resources Inventory
grant money and look forward to an interesting and challenging project.
Yours very truly,
�et Piper

S C O P E
The City of Redlands is fortunate and unique in Southern California to possess
a great number of structures that represent to such a large degree the cultural
and urban development pattern since the City's founding. The evolution of the
City from a citrus growing center and winter resort to an educational , cultural
and residential center is represented in its architecture.
In 1976 the City was an early recipient of a $1500 grant from the State for the
purposes of initiating an Historic Resources Inventory. Since that time work
has progressed adding structures as city staff and volunteer effort would allow.
To date 568 buildings have been included in the inventory. Of this amount
542 are residential structures. The remaining 26 are public and commercial
buildings.
The original inventory concentrated on those structures or neighborhoods that
were in danger of demolition or alteration. However, while the inventory has
been helpful to researchers , recent development in the field of historic pre-
servation suggest a more detailed and comprehensive listing. Such a listing
will assist in terms of national registering of structures, tax incentive certi-
fication and preservation of pre-World War II structures.
While the above numbers are impressive at first glance, further research reveals
that approximately 4000 structures in the City were built prior to 1940. In fact
estimates have been made that close to 3000 structures were built before 1934.
This later figure represents over 17% of the total dwelling units found in
Redlands during the 1980 census.
The purpose of this grant proposal is to obtain sufficient funds to expand and
complete the Historic Resources Inventory begun in 1976. Virtually the entire
city must be included in the survey area since early development of the citrus
ranches are scattered throughout. The inventory will concentrate on those
structures built prior to 1930. Significant commercial and public buildings
constructed later will also be included. Of particular interest are those
structures yet to be surveyed on the campus of the University of Redlands.
The expansion of the present Cultural Resources Inventory (as it is now referred)
is very timely in that the City of Redlands is embarcing upon two major projects
that will affect many preservation activities in the City. The entire downtown
commercial core is being studied by a consultant team •in an effort to develop
a commercial revitalization program for the City. In addition another con-
sultant is preparing the Historic Preservation Clement to the City's General
Plan at the present time.
Additional grant money is necessary to add to the inventory those structures
found throughout the City that the original grant funding and study timeframe
did not allow.

Work on completing the survey of historic resources will continue largely with
the assistance of volunteer groups. Previous work on the survey will be checked
for its accuracy by the professional staff and review committee listed in this
proposal . Research in the past has been difficult due to the loss of build-
ing permit records in the 1940 City Hall fire. Here additional title searches
must be conducted as necessary at the San Bernardino County Hall of Records.
Early tax assessment records will also be used to establish approximate dates
of construction.
Any consequent biographical research will be done by volunteers. Such research
will be primarily conducted at the Heritage Room of the A.K. Smiley Public
Library in Redlands. There local newspapers, address directories, Sanborn naps ,
and other sources will be utilized to provide data on the occupants or business-
es conducted in each structure. Furthermore oral histories will be conducted to
provide information not available in printed form.
It is proposed that approximately 5001 structures will be able to be surveyed as
outlined above in one year. Several neighborhoods that have like and similar
architectural character will also be included.
The City's Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission will establish a sub-
committee to act as Project Administrator to oversee and establish the parameters
for the survey. Additionally the subcommittee will review all completed entries.
In doing so the Commission members will gain needed familiarization with the
survey process as well as content.
Project coordination will be handled by a paid part-time person. The magni-
tude of the grant money will determine the ultimate scope of work and number
of paid researcher hours possible. Personnel listed herein have extensive
experience in inventory work in that they have greatly contributed to the
existing inventory in the past. Further assistance to researchers will be
provided by the full-time staff of the Heritage Room Collection of the Smiley
Library.
The services of a consultant firm have been included for the purposes of early
evaluation of the work product of volunteers and project coordinators. As nec-
essary the consultant can be utilized for training and general assistance to
the project review committee.
An inventory synopsis is included in this proposal as a critical tool to gain
public awareness of the inventory itself, its purpose and the information con-
tained therein. The synopsis will give residents and visitors to Redlands a
greater sense of the total architectural heritage found throughout the City.
Committment of volunteer groups is evidenced in the enclosed letters. Each
volunteer, during the orientation period, will be asked to commit to accomplish
a specified task or number of inventory entries . Each will understand that
grant funding will only be realized upon successful completion of their individual
and collective tasks.

The original survey has greatly assisted in increasing the public 's awareness
of Redlands ' cultural resources . A more complete inventory will provide a
better reference guide for future historic preservation activities in Redlands .
The inventory will provide the background information by which the goals and
objectives of the Historic Preservation Element of the General Plan , now in
preparation, will be implemented. An accurate historical accounting of sig-
nificant structures will provide a basis for civic leaders to make decisions
regarding historic structures and their setting .
Direct supervision of the project by the City of Redlands Historic and Scenic
Preservation Commission will assist in making the Commission more aware of the
responsibility entrusted to them. A more knowledgeable Commission will great-
ly assist in implementation of the new Preservation Element.
Eventual publication of the inventory will even further aid in increasing public
awareness of local historic resources found in Redlands . The significancE of
individual structures or groups of structures as well as residents can be better
understood when the broader perspective provided by the inventory is displayed.
Information found in the inventory can provide the basis by which application
nominations to the National Register of Historic Places might be made. Finally
historic districting of unique neighborhoods within the City Gill also be aided
as historic development patterns are analyzed.
