Re: Support for the Krenwinkle House as a Locally-Significant Structure
Dear Mayor Campbell and City Council Members:
Please read this letter into the record at tonight's City Council meeting.
We are in favor of designating the Krenwinkle House a locally significant structure.
There are several reasons why we believe there is historical significance to our home:
1. The City of Seal Beach, City of Seal Beach Historical Society and members of the
Seal Beach community have supported its historical significance and preservation for
several years.
2. First the house was to be moved to Marina Park. Then to the Hellman Ranch. Now,
the most realistic option is to relocate the home to 308 7th Street. We (as owners) have
kept our agreement with the City for over the years to preserve the house. The City's
agreement prohibits us from renting the home and deriving income from the home.
This lost income opportunity over the past several years should clearly indicate our
commitment to theP reservation of our home.
3. Built in 1915, the Krenwinkle house may be one of the only remaining homes in Seal
Beach that was relocated from the original Anaheim Landing. This is an important
fact that should be taken into consideration.
4. In the late 1930's my father, Ben Krenwinkle, the City's Building Inspector and
Purchasing Agent, was instrumental in helping people move out of the Landing due to
the Naval Weapons Station and is referenced in Jean B. Dorr's book entitled A Story
of Seal Beach.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Annabelle Luraschi-Krenwinkle Bob Luraschi
