Nancy Johnson and Richard Carter/Martin V. Melhorn House

Historic Landmark No. 1164

1914 Craftsman Bungalow

Martin V. Melhorn,
Architect/Builder

Community Uptown

Designated December 4, 2014



Famed ballet dancers Nancy Johnson and Richard Carter qualify as
historically significant persons for their important contributions to
the performing arts in San Diego. Johnson and Carter founded and
directed the original San Diego Ballet, the city’ s first
professional ballet company.

The high state of preservation of the cobblestone walkway passing
across this lot and the neighboring lot to the south and the
cobblestone buttressed terraces and walkways terraced down the canyon
behind this house are rare and significant landscape features that
contribute to a complete understanding of the Arts & Crafts Movement
in the greater Mission Hills/Middletown community.
