Briefly state historical and/or architectural importance (include dates, events, and persons associated with the site.) i oncr The Laguna North neighborhood was originally subdivided in and known as Laguna Cliffs. The subdivision was performed by the Laguna Beach Co. with L.C. McKnight as president and H.G. Heisler as secretary of the firm. Laguna Cliffs was the first subdivision in the City to have water pumped directly to each lot. A large banner at the main office read "Laguna Cliffs - The Tract With Water." After the subdivision occurred, only a few scattered beach cottages were built, the oldest and original house in the neighborhood being that at 390 Magnolia built in Some houses remain from the late teens, but the vast majority are from the 20's when,year-around Lagunans took up residence on these streets near to the downtown. Laguna's leading builders such as Ropp & Mackey, H.C. Hind, and Arthur Littlejohns actively developed the neighborhood and 1 ived there as we1 1. Homes were mostly owned by those who worked in Laguna--bankers, plumbers, carpenters, etc.--who helped sustain the town for those who camped and summered there. 20.

63 High Drive 1916 (E) What started as a small frame house has recently been compatibly rehabilitated. The house sits back on a high lot and is Craftsmanesque in appearance. Gabled roof and shingled siding provide this implication. The house is important for being the home of Dr. Day and his wife, the first doctor in Laguna Beach, Dr. Day arrived in 1914; he initially came for his own health, but stayed and became the city's first full-time doctor. The Days originally bought half an acre whose deed included special provisions for Mr. Irvine (of the adjacent Irvine Ranch) to move his cattle across the property. That provision is still in existence. A small shed structure on the rear of the property originally served as the off ice of Dr. Day, but he was sick often and couldn't practice, so he used it as a stable. Though still owned by the Days until just a few years ago, they closed the house for 45 years while they lived in Valley Center, California. Upon returning to Laguna as a widow, Mrs. Day sold the house to John and Constance Belda who have been responsible for the rehabilitation work.

The cottage was originally built by Mr. and Mrs. Spots of Orange as a summer house. When the Laguna Cliffs subdivision occurred in 1906, a prize of $100 was offered to the family who built the first house. The Spots were eager for the prize and invited family and friends to help them build. The house was finished in one weekend and the prize obtained. In 1918 present owner Pearl Clanton acquired the house; she used it initially as a beach house and now lives permanently in a new unit to the rear. The house is important both as the first house in the Laguna Cliffs subdivision (which comprises most of north Laguna) and as one of the best remaining intact examples of the early Settlement Beach Cottage style. This is typical of the many board and batten cottages which were hand constructed in Laguna which have now been lost or buried under more recent bui lding styles. 20.

The cottage was built as a family project by the James Kyle Family of Riverside. Mr. Kyle came to Riverside to retire as an orange rancher and happened to come to Laguna on a camping trip; he fell in love with the town and built his family a summer cottage at this address. The cottage began as one room and was gradually expanded to its present size by the late 20's. Most of the work was done by Mr. Kyle and his two sons. The house is still in use as a seasonal cottage and is still within the ownership of descendants of the original James Kyle. It is one of the few hand-built cottages that remain in Laguna and one of even fewer that are still used as seasonal cottages. At the time the cottage was built, it was one of a handful in the neighborhood. It is located at a high point on the hi 11 where it had a commanding view and direct 1 ine-ofsight to Main Beach below. The view was so unobstructed and the air so clear that Mrs. Kyle could hang a colored towel out back-as a sign to the boys playing on Main Beach below that it was time to come home for dinner. 20.
