Ard Eevin
Also known as: The Ard Eevin Residence; The Dan Campbell Residence
Why it's listed
Ard Eevin is a two-story redwood house at 851 W. Mountain Street in Glendale, California, completed in 1903 for Daniel Campbell, an early civic leader of the city. Architect Nathaniel Dryden gave it a symmetrical front dominated by a large semicircular veranda flanked by two angled, gabled wings. The design blends Colonial Revival details, such as columns and a balustrade, with Craftsman features like Batchelder tile fireplaces and a later music room with exposed rafter tails. Moderne changes made in 1940 to the kitchen, bathrooms and entry walk mark the end of its period of significance. The house stood on a 48-acre estate, part of which Campbell and his brother began subdividing in 1923 into the Campbell Heights and Cumberland Heights tracts. Ard Eevin was the pilot home of that neighborhood. The property includes a c. 1912 auto garage and a concrete retaining wall, and it has been continuously occupied by the original family.
Significance in brief: The nomination presents the house as a rare mix of Colonial Revival, Craftsman and so-called West Indies Plantation elements, notable for its large semicircular veranda and angled wings. It is also tied to Daniel Campbell, an early Glendale civic leader, and to the estate whose subdivision created the Cumberland Heights neighborhood. The house has remained in continuous residential use by the original family and retains good integrity.
