National Register of Historic Places Possible Addition of a House in Amador County

slide20A state commission will consider this week whether eight California sites, including one located right here in Amador County, a Palo Alto garage where Hewlett-Packard began and a Big Sur whaler's cabin -- should become part of the National Register of Historic Places. Members of the State Historical Resources Commission will discuss the sites at their meeting February 2nd in Placerville and will then make recommendations to the Federal Department of the Interior. The sites could be listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the country's official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation.
The sites include the Parish/Paugh House located on Hwy 88 and Pitt Street in Jackson, a Hayward church; historic homes in Hillsborough and Altadena; an Oroville library; and an Los Angeles elementary school. Jerry & Jeanette Chaix, the owners of the Jackson home, had applied to the State months ago and hadn't heard anything on their application but were pleased to hear they are being considered this week.
