*P3a.  Description:  (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
Style: American Foursquare 


This two-story house is an example of the oversized American Foursquare subtype with Colonial Revival influences. It has a low hipped roof with flared, boxed eaves, below which is a row of extended modillions with rounded ends. Centered on the street-facing elevation at the second story is a polygonal bay with windows separated by engaged columns with classical capitals; a separate, octagonal roof with eave detailing matching the main roof and topped by a sheet-metal finial; and a frieze with plaster vine-and-flower relief (running ornament). The base of the second floor flares outward directly above a simple wood molding. The projecting full-width front porch has a hipped roof with a small centered gable with wood shingles in the gable end, supported by fluted wood columns with Corinthian capitals and with a simple wood railing. Curving concrete wing-walls flank the main entry steps, which lead to an original wood front door with a rectangular light flanked by sidelights. The house has a roof covered in composition shingles; walls clad in rectangular wood shingles on the upper floors and narrow exposure wood lap siding with corner boards on the first floor; an Arroyo stone foundation; wood fixed, double-hung and transom windows with round patterned leaded glass in wood-framed openings. The front yard is slightly elevated above street level, is bordered by an Arroyo stone retaining wall, and has a single mature Canary Island date palm.
