Prairie-Style Home on Mission Street

urs is a city dominated by Victorian, Craftsman, and Spanish Colonial Revival homes. We do, however, have some fine examples of additional styles more prevalent elsewhere in the country, and the American Foursquare, a type of “Prairie” style, is one. Frank Lloyd Wright is the most famous architect associated THE GREAT HOUSE DETECTIVE with this style, which is common in the Midwest. A Prairie-style home is usually characterized by a low-pitched hipped roof, shaped like a pyramid. Wide eaves emphasize the horizontal lines of the house. This architectural style is all about straight lines and angles — there are no curves or frilly details. The first owner of the home at by Betsy J. Green 21 East Mission Street was from the Midwest, so his idea of the perfect home may have been influenced by the architecture there. This home’s Prairie-style angularity is echoed in the brick front walk, which is paved in a double basketweave pattern, and the Japanese shoji screens in the front windows.

A Young Couple Builds a Home The home was built about 1911 by Edward A. and Nellie Diehl. Edward was from Missouri, and Nellie (Elizalda) had grown up in Santa Barbara. When they married in 1905, the local paper described Edward as “one of the city’s most promising young businessmen” and noted that Nellie was “a descendant of one of the oldest Spanish families in California.” They later had a son named Frederick, who is believed to be the one who carved the initials “FD” on a shingle at the back of the house. Edward’s father, John Frederick Diehl, started a gourmet grocery store in 1891 when the family arrived here. Diehl’s Grocery was located at several different locations on State Street in the half century that it was in business. The store sold imported delicacies from Europe, as well as

ford have lived in the house since 2010. Vicki spent her formative years in the home before she settled in Hawai‘i for some 40 years, where she and Brian met. The backyard is a quiet, brick-carpeted oasis shaded by a coastal live oak that an arborist estimated to be 150 years old. A seasonal creek in the back provides water for the tree. Since the tree predates the house, the Diehls may have chosen this site because of the tree. What do the Woolfords like best about their home? The walkable location and the architectural diversity in the neighborhood, they told me.

Interesting Patterns Emerge local produce, and was famous for its elaborate sidewalk displays. The store sold its own baked goods, homemade mayonnaise, and candy and had a soda fountain that served oyster cocktails! In 1905, the grocery’s ad in the local paper boasted that the store sold a “new health food — toasted corn flakes.” Both Edward and his brother William worked at the store. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, before many families had automobiles, Diehl’s Grocery had its own horse-drawn delivery wagon. That wagon now belongs to the Santa Barbara Carriage and Western Art Museum. You may have seen this vehicle in Fiesta parades. The Diehl family left Santa Barbara in the 1940s, and the home was occupied by several owners until 1965 when George and Shigeko Nishihara bought the home. George was a cabinetmaker and made the intricate shoji screens in the house. Members of that family have owned and lived in the home ever since. Brian and Vicki (Nishihara) Wool-

I was struck by the repeating patterns of the house and its occupants. Frank Lloyd Wright collected Japanese woodblock prints, and this ties in with the shoji screens in the front windows. The screens echo the brick pattern on the sidewalk. The Woolfords moved here from Hawai‘i, and in researching the Diehl family, I discovered that Edward Diehl and his brother William had both spent time in Hawai‘i in 1901. Please do not disturb the residents of 21 East Mission Street.

“Working with Mike and Kyle was an absolute dream. They are the best of the best. We are out of state buyers and they made us feel so at ease during the whole process. They took care of things that we couldn’t because we weren’t there. We closed on the house in December and they are still helping us facilitate contractors. They truly go above and beyond to help their clients. I am as picky as they come and have never been so impressed with a team. Some of the most kind and dedicated professionals I have had the privilege of working with.” -Amanda Q. 

“Going into the process of selling my parents’ home, I was both nervous and apprehensive. I had been juggling so much in my life for the past several years. Upon meeting Mike and Kyle the first time, they assured me that they were there to make everything as easy as possible for me. I can truly say, that is exactly what they did. Communication was definitely the strong suit of Mike and Kyle. They were always available by phone or email and returned calls as soon as possible. They kept me informed every step of the way. When I needed help with projects to get the house ready for sale, they sent hard working, honest people who were easy to get along with. This was a reflection of the two of them as they have the same qualities. Mike and Kyle are a great team. Their ability to market and sell the property was greatly appreciated. They live up to their motto of “Integrity, Knowledge and Experience.” If anyone is interested in buying or selling a home in Santa Barbara, especially on the Mesa, I highly recommend Mike and Kyle of Mike Richardson, Realty.

Q: Marsha, I am a professional person who thought I had a

fairly clear understanding of real estate. My wife and I are currently searching for a home with a hardworking and competent Realtor. My one complaint is that I wish she would explain terminology better. She talks about CMAs, escrow, title, and contingencies. We are also lost when talking with our lender. For example, what does LTV mean? Is this a common problem? A: I would like to say no … but that’s probably not true.

As with all professions, real estate and lending has its own language and terminology. It is our responsibility to explain our alphabet soup—MLS, CMA, LTV, etc.—to our clients. Sometimes the most intelligent, well-educated clients won’t ask for explanations because they feel they should know what the professional is taking about. I urge you to ask them to slow down and explain what they mean. I’ll give you a brief explanation of some common terms

Message From the President

you can expect to hear during your real estate experience: CMA, escrow, title, and LTV. A term you hear frequently is CMA.

CALIFORNIANS FOR HOMEOWNERSHIP TACKLES ANTI-HOUSING POLICIES

alifornia continues to face an unprecedented housing crisis. The biggest factor is a lack in the supply of new housing. Policies related to the supply of new housing are created at a local level and local governments often create those policies based on voter interests and do not consider our local and regional housing needs. NIMBYs (Not in My Backyard) and municipalities using exclusionary housing policies are a major driver of the housing crisis. These policies are used across the state to restrict or deny new housing projects, including housing projects that would increase access to affordable housing. While the state of California continues to pass laws designed to limit these practices and to make it easier for property owners to build there is not a lot they can do to monitor implementation at the local level. Without a strong organization to stand up for individuals’ property rights there is often little that property owners can do to force these cities to change their practices. Californians for Homeownership is

a non-profit organization that was founded to work on behalf of the citizens of California against these policies.

to as “granny flats”, these are an innovative way to increase the supply of housing throughout the state. The suit states that City staff denies ADUs when homeowners file for permits for the construction of a new home and an ADU at the same time. This violates the City’s written ADU policies and state ADU law.

working as a paralegal and an attorney, Kathy retired to raise and homeschool her two kids. During those years at home, she volunteered for local sports organizations including Carpinteria AYSO, Carpinteria Softball and SB Pony Baseball and was a long-term board member of both Carpinteria AYSO and Carpinteria Softball. When it was time to return to work, rather than practice law, Kathy was looking for a position in an industry in which her legal background would be of value. She was introduced to title and First American by a chance meeting with another First American attorney-title officer and the rest is history! We are thrilled to add Kathy to our Title Division located in our Santa Barbara branch.

especially when combustion is incomplete. The EPA reports that children are 42 by Dennis Allen percent more likely to have asthma challenges when living in a home with a gas cooker. There is the question about electromagnetic radiation exposure from induction cookers. Studies in Europe and the U.S., including one from the World Health Organization, show no health risk, even for pregnant women and young children. As close as one centimeter (approximately 3/8) from a magnetic coil reveals no measurable effects on health. Another consideration is the roughly 25 percent cost premium for induction ranges over gas ones, but this differential is decreasing as induction stoves gain market share. Perhaps the most important consideration is that natural gas has no role in a clean energy future, nor one as a part of solving climate change.

ers—80-90 percent goes to the cooking of food compared to 38 percent for gas units. Since an induction cooktop, commonly a glass ceramic sheet, does not get hot except directly under the pot and even then is only moderately hot, it is safer than a gas range and much easier to clean. The lack of a hot surface means no hard-to-clean baked-on spills. The Southern California Gas Co. (SCG) and its front group, Californians for Balanced Energy Solutions (CBES), funded from ratepayers’ monies (illegally?), promote kitchens with gas appliances. They

o meet its goal of 100 percent renewable electric power by 2030, the City of Santa Barbara is crafting an all-electric reach code together with a ban on natural gas hookups in new construction. In these deliberations, the appliance that has become the focus of controversy is the magnetic induction cooker. Because it directly heats a pan using electromagnetic fields, an induction unit can provide great power, instant adjustability, excellent thermal efficiency, and precise control. The energy efficiency of induction coils is more than double that of gas burn-

claim Californians want to cook with natural gas. Magnetic-induction cooking, widespread in Europe and Asia, is still a relatively new technology in the U.S. However, according to the National Kitchen and Bath Association, induction cooking accounted for 15 percent of stove sales last year. It is even becoming the preferred choice for many top chefs. What SCG and CBES do not reveal to the public are the health issues linked to gas ranges. Physicians for Social Responsibility and three other national research groups reviewed two decades of peer-reviewed studies on indoor air quality linked to gas appliances. Their findings show that gas stoves are exposing tens of millions of people to levels of air pollution in their homes that would be illegal outdoors under national air quality standards. This explains why gas companies have fought so hard and so long to fend off regulation of gas stoves while claiming natural gas to be a clean fuel. Children risk respiratory issues and reduced brain performance when exposed to gas combustion residues,
