C-2 DISTRICT<br />

3<br />

University/Edelen Historic District<br />

Town <strong>of</strong> <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Gatos</strong><br />

3.5 UNIVERSITY/EDELEN HISTORIC DISTRICT<br />

The district was originally a part <strong>of</strong> the Mason Tract subdivided<br />

in 1880, and later further subdivided prior to the turn <strong>of</strong> the<br />

century. Victorian is the predominant architectural style, including<br />

informal wood frame cottages and impressive homes, intermixed<br />

with Craftsman/Bungalow style cottages. Also present in smaller<br />

numbers are Colonial Revival.<br />

Contributing structures are both residential and commercial.<br />

Individual architectural distinction is not as important as the neighborhood<br />

entity created. The University/Edelen district has easily<br />

identifiable boundaries which adds to its perception as a distinct<br />

neighborhood.<br />

3.5.1 <strong>Guidelines</strong><br />

<strong>Design</strong> guidelines are similar to those for the Historic <strong>Commercial</strong><br />

District, but many are directed toward the predominance<br />

<strong>of</strong> residential structures in the district. Applicants should refer to<br />

Appendix B for detailed guidelines.<br />
