Why it's listed
Built in 1928 at 6112 Paseo Delicias in Rancho Santa Fe, this stucco and frame row house is the southernmost of four attached dwellings designed by architect Lilian Rice. It is entered through an arched doorway into a landscaped patio and holds a living room, dining room, two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and linen room across about 1,536 square feet. A detached garage sits at the rear of the lot. Exterior features include a walled and gated entry, red clay tile roof, window grilles, decorative iron sconces and canales. Each of the four row houses is set back a different distance and has its own facade and room plan, though materials, details and volumes are shared. The house is significant as a Spanish Colonial Revival town house by Rice and as one component of a planned group of buildings in the Civic Center area. The form notes no visible exterior alterations since construction; only interior changes made in 1932 are recorded.
Significance in brief: The nomination argues it is an excellent example of town house architecture in the Spanish Colonial Revival style by Lilian Rice. It is also significant in community planning and development as part of a carefully laid out group of buildings within a large planned area. It is described as one of four Rice row houses in the Civic Center area, each with a unique design.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
