Description and history
editIt is a 2-story, Mediterranean Revival style house with an irregular floor plan. It rests on a concrete foundation and has exterior walls of stucco. Most of the house is covered with hipped roof segments, surfaced with clay barrel tiles. A few areas of the roof are flat due to its extensive use of built-up roofing material. Scuppers are placed right below the roof line at intervals around the house.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 1997.
