The William Black House, near La Jolla, California, is a historic site that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its location is not released by the National Register, as it includes an archaeological site with potential to yield information in the future. It is, however, a seaside property. It was subject of controversy in 2010 between Kumeyaay Native American people and the University of California over its possible demolition and over possible repatriation of burials.[3] In 2011 however it seemed to be heading for renovation.[1]
The site is significant for including a house designed by architect William Lumpkins of the adobe revival movement of Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was designed for William and Ruth Black who lived there during 1952-67 in what is termed Pueblo Revival architecture style. It was then sold to the University of California Regents and used by UCSD chancellors during 1967-2004. The site is also significant as a location of a prehistoric Native American village; it is "sacred ground to Kumeyaay people."[4]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008 as William Black House—SDM-W-12 Locus A (CA-SDI-4669).[2] The site includes a house built during 1950-52 and a cemetery and the site of a pre-historic village. The listing included one contributing building and one contributing site on 6.9 acres (2.8 ha).[1][2]
It also has association with Howard Stein.[2]
