| Resource Description: |
Built in 1908, the two-story house is sited on a lot at the southeast corner of Elizabeth Street and North El Molino Avenue, with the front of the house facing Elizabeth Street. The surrounding neighborhood contains a mixture of homes predominantly from the 1900’s to the 1920’s with a few from the 1930’s through the 1950’s. In addition to the residence, the property has a detached two-car garage in the same style as the house.
The 2,416-square-foot house exhibits typical Arts and Crafts features including clapboard siding on the first floor and wood-shingle wall cladding on the second floor and gables; wood double-hung and casement windows with divided lights; a wide wood front door with a large oval window; Arroyo-stone foundation, porch, columns and chimney; vented gables; exposed rafters on the horizontal portions of the roof and triangular braces on the sloping roofs. The house includes an entablature at the base of the gables and between the first and second stories, with those at the gables having large, widely-spaced dentils. The house appears higher than a typical two-story house due to the presence of a full walk-out basement which extends above grade on the south elevation.
The Elizabeth Street elevation contains a deep covered front porch extending the entire length of the façade with a gabled and shed roof which is a mirror image of the main roof above; a large fixed window with a multi-light transom on the first floor; and a vented shed dormer. Both side elevations have diamond-paned casement windows on the first floor and double-hung windows with divided lights on the upper sash on the second floor. The easterly elevation has a large bay window and a covered porch that wraps around to the rear of the house. A small triangular bay window projects from the El Molino elevation at the location of an interior stairwell.
