YEAR DESCRIPTION ST#
1939 Pauson House Remnant.  Concrete foundation remnants from the Pauson Residence.  Constructed in 1939, destroyed by fire in 1942. “Desert Rubblestone” construction.  For nearly 40 years the concrete foundation, walls and fireplace remained in ghostly ruins.  These were destroyed in 1980 to make way for an extension of 32nd Street.   Architect Edward M. Jones salvaged the 70 ton fireplace chimney mass and relocated it 200 yards to the south and incorporated it in the entrance to Alta Vista Park Estates where the Boomer and Benjamin Adelman residences are located.  Chimney mass measures 9 x 11' at the base and is 26' tall.  Pictured above is the 1980 entrance incorporation.  A) 11.5 x 8 x 3.5.  B) 11 x 5 x 2.25. 0501.07.0404
