Comments on Properties Being Considered for Removal
From
Proposed Historic Preservation Ordinance

th
22621 13 St. Jauregui House This building has been altered and added to, but
regardless of this, We would advise keeping this house under protection. From oral
history we hear that this house was originally owned by Andrew Malinzewski. This is
from an old article by A.B. Perkins:

" ... At 215 Thirteenth Street (the home of the Ed Jaurguis), you can see the home built by Andrew
• Malezewski at Lyon Station in 1873. About 1879, it was moved to Newhall, by J.O. Newhall, to a
location at Market and Spruce*. Later it was for 25 years the home of the T .M. Frew family.
About 1925, it was moved to its present location on Thirteenth Street, to make room for the
building of the Motor Stage Cafe."

We have recently found a land transaction where Malinzewski owned the Lyons Station
property when he passed away in the late 1870s. This places the core of this house as at
least that old. Even though the architecture of this building is almost lost, We know that
Henry Mayo Newhall bought this property from the estate and that this house was very
likely from that property.

In one a scrapbook put together by Gerry Reynolds for the Historical Society:
"J.O. Newhall home- later home ofT.M. Frew about 1902 present site ofSprouse-Reitz-
Moved to Swall & Lamkin Tract for clearance to eriect Motor Stage - Built at Lyon Station -
Adam Malinozski- 1873. Brought by LO.Newhall & moved to San Fernando Road (Sprouse
Reitz) 1878 Frew family-1902 Moved to 13th St 1920s Ed Jauregui 2264 W 13th St."

In the Lyon Family Tree Album from Vicki Norton:
"The only known picture of Sanford Lyon's house, with Mr & Mrs OC-Newhall-~usins of Henry
Mayo Newhall) on the porch. The picture dates from about 1889." Jerry Reynolds, 1984

Until we can establish whether the original house was the house at Lyons Station, this
house should be protected. The age of it, and its connections with historically important
families like the Newhalls, Frews and Jaureguis, should be enough to give it historic
association.

24237 Main Newhall Community Hospital From an architectural point of view this
building may have somewhat degraded integrity. We feel that there is more at stake here
than architecture and age. Our history is more than architecture. Small towns are
disappearing in Southern California, but Newhall was a small town and that is an
environment that we want to preserve. Small towns had a main drag where there was a
bank, a grocery store, a hardware store, the post office ... and in this case we had a
hospital. It was small and drab, but when a roundup cowboy got thrown and broke a
rib ... he went there. The hospital is still there, still being used as a medical facility. This
kind of continuity goes a long way towards preserving the character of our town, a part of
our history.
