Abstract
This project nominates the Roush Residence to the National Register of Historic Places. Constructed in 1954, the Roush Residence is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C, due to its rare residential Organic Architectural style. The Roush Residence is locally significant and retains all seven aspects of integrity. This project establishes the historic context of Sacramento, particularly the Arden Oaks neighborhood, and maps the phenomenon of Mid-Century Modern architecture throughout the United States, California, and the Sacramento area. Sources used for this project include works on architectural history and architectural styles, city and county histories, Office of Historic Preservation documents, newspaper articles, ephemera, historic photographs, and county records.
