Effort For Historic Listing
2007 The county in updating historic property inventory had the Roadhouse nominated by the Live Oak History group as one of its highest priorities for listing.
The owner's daughters gave the tenants 60 days to vacate, and fenced the property with chain link and barbed wire. They hired an attorney and an historian, Anthony Kirk PhD, to challenge the Historic designation.
The County of Santa Cruz is considering it as a park.
It was torn down on September 27, 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words effort and/or historic:
“But the effort, the effort! And as the marrow is eaten out of a man’s bones and the soul out of his belly, contending with the strange rapacity of savage life, the lower stage of creation, he cannot make the effort any more.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Never is a historic deed already completed when it is done but always only when it is handed down to posterity. What we call “history” by no means represents the sum total of all significant deeds.... World history ... only comprises that tiny lighted sector which chanced to be placed in the spotlight by poetic or scholarly depictions.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
