Historic Landmarks Commission designates 238 Cannon Drive a structure of merit
Summary
The commission adopted Resolution 2025-6 on March 26, 2025, designating the Leonard Cook–designed Spanish Colonial Revival house at 238 Cannon Drive a historic structure of merit after staff presentation and owner comment.
The Historic Landmarks Commission adopted Resolution 2025-6 on March 26, 2025, designating the 1930 Spanish Colonial Revival residence at 238 Cannon Drive — designed by architect Leonard Cook — as a historic structure of merit.
Nicole Hernandez told the commission the property retains characteristic Spanish Colonial Revival features: terracotta tile roofs, smooth stucco walls, a prominent Monterey-style balcony, arched and casement windows with divided lights, and a large stucco chimney. Hernandez said the house closely follows Cook’s original drawings and retains interior integrity.
Owners Robert Giamo and Maria Redfield Giamo spoke in support, noting long-term stewardship, interior detail and landscaping the owners have maintained for 25 years. Commissioners and members of the public praised the design and the owners’ care.
On roll-call the commission voted unanimously to adopt the resolution. Commissioners voting yes included McClure, Butler, Dordon, Drury, Ennsberg, Lindbeck, Vice Chair Ullie and Chair Grumbine. The commission noted the home’s contribution to the San Roque neighborhood’s architectural fabric.
The designation will be recorded and the property added to the historic resources inventory.
