This house is an example of a one-and-one-half-story California Bungalow, as identified in the Multiple Property Documentation Form, “Residential Architecture of Pasadena, CA 1895-1918: Influence of the Arts and Crafts Movement.” The main roof of the house is a shallow gable oriented to the sides, with a projecting gabled dormer and front porch. Based on photographs on file with the City of Pasadena, the dormer originally had two pairs of casement windows which have been replaced with three adjoining fixed windows. The roof, which is covered in composition shingles, has deep, extended eaves with paired exposed rafters extending beyond the roofline. The front porch roof is supported by battered posts with concrete-capped brick bases and square wood posts above and the side walls of the porch as well as the chimney are also in red brick. Exterior walls are clad in rectangular wood shingles within the gable end and in wood lap siding with mitered corners below the windows. The house has wood casement, fixed and transom (with lozenge-shaped divided lights) windows and a polygonal bay with a shallow hipped roof projects from the south elevation behind which is a side-gabled addition. The wide front door is wood with a large rectangular glass panel. Window and door surrounds are wood with extended top rails. Records indicate that the house had previously been divided into three units and was reverted to a single-family house in 2000.
