Historical Significance
This home is one of the largest and oldest historic homes in this
neighborhood, and has changed very little since it was first built.
The home was originally owned by Reverend Hampton W. Cottrell,
then president of the Pacific Press Publishing Company on Villa
Street and leader of Mountain View's early Seventh Day Adventist
community.
The property also features original landscaping elements including
an elaborate wrought iron fence. The home has been declared eligible
for the California State Register of Historic Resources due to
its architectural style and high artistic value.
The current owners had originally planned to demolish the house
and build two new homes. After opposition from neighbors and MVPA,
new plans have been submitted that call for the renovation of
the house. MVPA is following this development proposal closely.
