City of San Diego Historic Site No. 987, Walter J. and Grace Ogden/ Ralph L. Frank House
Based on research and site evaluation, this home is a strong candidate for historical designation under the
City of San Diego Historic Resources Criterion B, C, and D. The residence continues to express integrity and stands as
reminder of two very distinctive and important individuals, Dr. Lyell C. Kinney, and Mr. Arthur DeFever, naval
architect. Additionally this house is a good local example of the Monterey Revival designed by locally recognized
Master Architect, Ralph L. Frank, contributing to his body of work that resulted in a number of Colonial Revival
styles.
