Painter for an orchard farmer.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a distinctive example of vernacular Tudor Revival residential architecture under Criterion C. It has steeply pitched gables, a turret entry, stucco textured to imitate stone, and largely original interior finishes. It also reflects the prosperity of the Santa Clara Valley fruit-growing economy. Relocation in 1981 to save it from demolition is addressed under Criteria Consideration B.","narrative":"Built in 1928 for a successful Santa Clara Valley orchard farmer, this 2,500-square-foot house in Campbell, California, is a vernacular example of Tudor Revival design by Benjamin H. Painter. Its stucco walls are textured to resemble stone, and large quarry stones appear to emerge at a turret-marked entry with an arched plank door. Five steeply pitched gables, tall narrow multi-pane windows and a massive brick-capped chimney shape its profile. Inside, heavy plaster walls, wide-plank pegged hardwood floors, a terracotta-tiled fireplace bearing a bas-relief of the house, and original cabinets, tile and fixtures survive. When zoning changes in 1979 threatened demolition, the house and garage were moved 700 feet on the same property in 1981 and restored through 1985, with salvaged materials reused. The setting has changed as orchards gave way to suburban growth. The house was listed for its architectural character and as a reminder of the valley's agricultural prosperity.","period_of_significance":"1928","architect_builder":"Painter, Benjamin H.","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals - Tudor Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition and still used as a single-family home; moved 700 feet in 1981 and restored.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:29.830349-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/08001279.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08001279/fc3a257e93-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08001279/fc3a257e93-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Gerosch","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Earl_and_Virginia_Young_House_as_of_2012.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Gerosch</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Earl_and_Virginia_Young_House_as_of_2012.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123861830","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_and_Virginia_Young_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q123127138"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/santa-clara-county/young-earl-and-virginia-house-08001279/"}
