Significance: The Goerlitz house is a rustic Spanish Colonial Revival style residence constructed of local stone. It is significant for its architectural qualities and close association with the lifestyle and values of a unique middle class agricultural society typical of many citrus growers in San Bernadino County during the early 20th century. Beginning as early as the mid-1870s and continuing through the 1960s, citrus growers often built stylish homes in the midst of their orange groves, rather than the vernacular buildings of more traditional agricultural communities. Through architecture and landscaping, the Goerlitz house and setting reflect a unique citrus-based agricultural society that was highly influential in the growth and development of the area.
