Susie Van Kirk Papers
In 2015 the City of Eureka was planning a trail that would end/begin near the house located at 2186 Tydd Street, which was initially not considered to be within the Area of Potential Effect (APE).
The house was researched and evaluated for historic significance. The findings of this investigation are reported in this paper, along with a description of the property and a short history.

Burrows House, Susie Van Kirk
Susie Van Kirk Papers
Built in 1883, the house at 453 F Street was originally located at the northwest corner of the block (number 86) which is the southeast corner of 5th and G Streets (Daily Times Telephone, 13 Jan. 1883). It appears to have been moved to its present location in 1941 when the Standard Oil Company con- structed a gasoline station at 5th and G Streets for E.W. Chamber- lain and his son, Byard (Arcata Union, 21 Nov. 1941). This report details the architectural evolution and ownership history of the house.

The Minor Theatre and the adjacent Minor Building have been submitted for consideration for designation under the City of Arcata's Landmark and Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (LHP).

For this reason, I am recommending denial of the application for historic designation.
The Baiocchi House, Susie Van Kirk
The Baiocchi House, Susie Van Kirk
Susie Van Kirk Papers
The house at 895 7th Street is a two-story, hipped-roof box with 1/1 windows and a central entrance. This house type was built locally in the first decade of the 20th century and is notable for its exterior simplicity and lack of decoration. Removal of the one-story porch across the front, replacement of the original front door, and enclosure of the rear porch are major alterations.
Arcata has several examples of this house type, but only this one and the house at the northwest corner of 15th and I Streets have retained their original character. The house directly across 7th …
