1950’s era County Assessor lingo: Granny, Flat, in-law?

What language or lingo did county assessor’s use to describe detached secondary living units with bathrooms in the 1950’s/1960’s in California? Would the unit have been described as a Granny unit, Granny flat, bungalow? I suspect states would have different descriptions. I’m looking in California. What have you seen?

    Thank you, Jovelyn! I'm on the Central Coast of Ca, but input from anywhere is helpful.

     I'm surprised that the woke mob, with their strangle hold over CA, hasn't changed all these terms to be more """" inclusive """".    The fact the term 'landlord' and 'master bedroom' and 'mother in law suite" is allowed in California is shocking (I'm being honest).

    The state that says "pregnant person" rather than "pregnant woman" should have 'refreshed' RE terms by now.
