1086 I Street Report, Susie Van Kirk
Susie Van Kirk Papers
The house at 1086 I Street was built for Isaac Minor by local contractor Theodore Dean in 1884 (Humboldt Standard, 2 Oct. 1884). During that same year, Dean oversaw the construction of two other houses and a store on the Minor Block. The milliner's shop at 1057 H Street was the first to be built (Humboldt Standard, 11 Feb. 1884), followed by Minor's own residence at the southwest corner of 11th and H Streets (Humboldt Standard, 18 July, 31 July, 2 Oct. 1884).

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). Both buildings are historically important to Arcata by virtue of their association with pioneer lumberman and entrepreneur Isaac Minor and because of their contribution to the commercial, social and cultural life of the community. Although the buildings have experienced exterior alterations since their construction three- quarters of a century ago, both retain sufficient architectural integrity to easily qualify for LHP designation.

Ferndale Sewer Project, Susie Van Kirk
Susie Van Kirk Papers
With its exceptional array of Victorian and turn-of-the- century commercial and residential structures, Ferndale is recognized statewide as a place of historic significance. Individual structures are notable examples of late 19th and early 20th century styles, many displaying the opulent applied ornamentation of the period. But the significance of this collection is not simply that of individual structures; rather, it is the architectural and historic integrity of the town as a whole that preserves a Victorian character rarely found in late 20th century America. These notable examples are supported by a sprinkling of settlement-period house types and good representatives of …
