It has nine buildings with 13 living units plus a small garage, built from 1927 to 1931 by local contractor Walter R. Goss.","why_significant":"The court is significant at the local level under Criterion C as an example of the bungalow court, an architectural site type. Few were built in Riverside, and only three of an estimated eight remain. The nomination stresses its layout, which gives affordable, high-density housing with a sense of enclosure and a micro-neighborhood feel, rather than its architectural style.","narrative":"Mission Court Bungalows is a bungalow court in Riverside, California, set in the middle of a block and open to both First and Second Streets through a central drive. Walter R. Goss, a local contractor, built it between 1927 and 1931. It holds four duplexes and five single residences, with 13 living units and one small garage or storage building. Walls are textured stucco over wood frame, and the roofs are tile or asphalt. The design mixes Spanish Colonial Revival, Mission Revival and Pueblo elements, with curved walls, arched openings and many-paned windows. The court has changed little, and mature trees, bushes and grass still fill the grounds. Its importance lies in its form as a bungalow court, a housing type that offered attractive, affordable, dense living around a shared setting. Few such courts were built in Riverside, and only three of an estimated eight survive. It was recognized for that rarity and its intact layout.","period_of_significance":"1927 - 1931","architect_builder":"Goss, Walter R.","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival and Pueblo","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Historic and current functions are both domestic (single and multiple dwellings).
