House & Garden 
While an English atmosphere has been incorpoated in the design, the house has typical 
American windows, which are decorative and make for coolness. It is built of terra cotta 
blocks stuccoed and has a cream and purple variegated slate roof of interesting lines. 
Connected to it by a drying yard is the garage with a picturesque outside stairway leading 
to the owner’s workshop above 
The unusual shape of the plan was dictated by the unusual shape of 
the property and also in order that the living room and owner’s 
bedroom might obtain the benefit of the prevailing southwest 
breezes The main entrance is from the terrace, which connects 
with the sun parlor 
Off the owner’s bedroom is a sleeping porch, with canvas sides 
lashed on in stormy weather as on a ship’s deck. Both upstairs and 
down there is excellent cross ventilation. On this second floor, in 
addition to the owner’s rooms, are two guest chambers, bath and 
servants’ rooms
