Resource Description: |
One contributing building (house). This one-and-one-half story symmetrical house is an example of the Folk Victorian subtype, with Eastlake detailing. It has a rectangular plan with steeply sloped gabled roof form, oriented toward the street. It has a full-width projecting front porch with a hipped roof supported by turned wood posts with curvilinear brackets with a cutout cross-diagonal detail and an open wood railing. Undated photographs on file with the City of Pasadena depict a solid porch railing and newel posts at the stair, neither of which are extant; however, the replacement wood railing is compatible with the design of the house. The roof is covered in composition shingles and the walls are clad in drop channel siding with corner boards with tongue-and-groove skirting at the base. Many of the original wood-framed window openings have original wood fixed, transom or double-hung windows, although some have replacement vinyl sashes. The original wood-paneled front door with a single rectangular light remains in place. The gable end is divided into sections with detailing that includes a dentiled collar beam, stickwork, fish-scale shingles, vertically and horizontally oriented wood tongue-and-groove siding, and sunbursts. The front yard, which is slightly elevated from the street by a concrete curb, has a mature Canary Island date palm. The house retains integrity and is contributing to the district.
