YEAR BUILT: 1915
ARCHITECT/BUILDER: Unknown
ORIGINAL OWNER: W.H. Julian
ORIGINAL
DESCRIPTION:
The geometric masses around the main door and the modular glazing patterns in the upper window sashes are importnat non-historic elements. The visor and hipped tile roofs and stucco walls are an attempt to combine regional elements with Progressive design. The relief ornament over the windows and front door is perhaps an attempt at the decorative designs of the Spanish Baroque Mode.
OF INTEREST: In 1986, Jo Ellen Leslie, the owner and an admitted "frustrated architect," added the entry porch and balustrades to this home.
