Nixon.","why_significant":"The house is significant as the birthplace of President Richard Milhous Nixon, born there on January 9, 1913. The form states it has little architectural merit, so its importance rests on the presidential association under political significance.","narrative":"This one-story frame house at 18061 Yorba Linda Boulevard in Yorba Linda, California, was built in 1912 by Frank Nixon and is where his son, Richard Milhous Nixon, was born on January 9, 1913. The house has five rooms, a screen porch and a bath on the ground floor, plus a small attic bedroom reached by a narrow, steep staircase. It is painted white with green trim, and the form describes it as architecturally modest, typical of small California dwellings often built by itinerant carpenters. Outbuildings, a fence and a garage stand on the property, and the Union Water Company Canal marks its northern boundary. Frank Nixon married Hannah Milhous in 1908 and came to Yorba Linda in 1912. The Nixon family acquired final title in the 1920s, and the property was later bought by the Yorba Linda School District. The property was recognized for its connection to a President's birth, not for its design. Its condition was rated fair.","period_of_significance":"20th Century","architect_builder":"Frank Nixon (built 1912)","architectural_style":"Typical small California dwelling of the type built by itinerant carpenters; no formal style named","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition rated fair; owned by the Yorba Linda Elementary School District; the form checks occupied and a private residence use with presidential birthplace noted.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:31.924074-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/71000171.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/71000171/9bf9c06f2f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/71000171/9bf9c06f2f-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"National Park Service","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nixonhouse.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">National Park Service</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nixonhouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123860288","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthplace_of_Richard_Nixon","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2262830"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/orange-county/nixon-richard-birthplace-71000171/"}
