This 1929, one-story, Spanish Eclectic, hacienda style house is a contributor to a broader historic cultural landscape of similar Louise M. Severin-built houses in the 1925-1930-time period in the Kensington community of San Diego, California. Severin distinguished herself as an early female general contractor and Master Builder who constructed many homes in Kensington, many of which exhibit her signature rustic adobe-like high-relief stucco wall application. Severin built the house for Arthur and Anne Dusenberry in 1929. Dusenberry is significant for his role in pioneering twelve of the Lomita Hills gold mines in the southeast area of El Cajon and symbolically for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s impact on small gold mining operations during the Great Depression. | ||
