The Beers-Ely House, Susie Van Kirk

Susie Van Kirk Papers

It was during Bertha Averell's ownership that the house was remodeled with Craftsman features. The tax assessment for 1924 shows an increase in assessed value for improvements which could indicate the new construction.

The Ely-Ioelu family ownership spanned more than forty years. Paul and Anna Ely were well-known Arcata residents who owned the Varsity Sweet Shop/Restaurant on the east side of the Plaza from 1945 until 1968. They lived in the house until their daughter and her husband purchased it in 1965.

The Stewart Foster House, Susie Van Kirk

Susie Van Kirk Papers

The Stewart Foster House and Barn are recommended for Historic designation for their handsome architecture, historic integrity, and contribution to the qualities of the entire block which includes a variety of architectural styles and periods.

The Fleckenstein-Newton House, Susie Van Kirk

Susie Van Kirk Papers

The Fleckenstein-Newton House and Barn are recommended for Historic designation for their historic qualities and potential for restoration. Although the house fails to fit any particular architectural style and has been somewhat altered, it, nonetheless, exhibits some interesting decorative features and, very importantly, has a decided historic quality which complements other houses on the block. The barn, quite handsome and very important to the character of the area, also deserves Historic designation.
