8.B. - Page 30 of 66 William Kostura, Historic Resource Evaluation for 970 Edgewood Road The rear of the house is the most dramatic side. Here, the gabled roof extends fifteen feet beyond the main part of the rear wall, and nine feet beyond the northernmost, central projection. The eaves are held up by square wooden posts and exposed rafters. As mentioned above, this extended roof shelters an expansive outdoor patio, called a terrace in the landscape plan, that is surfaced in squares of aggregate bounded by wooden spacers. The main part of the rear wall is clad in vertical redwood siding. To the east is an original aluminum -framed sliding glass door, and to the west is an aluminum sash window, presumably also original. Between these two openings is a projection of six by twenty feet. The walls of this projection are mainly glass, almost from the floor to the eaves. In the middle is a sliding glass door in an anodized aluminum frame. This material is probably non -original. The right side of the house is again clad in vertical redwood siding, and extended eaves are also here supported by exposed rafters. Windows have aluminum sash, and doors are wooden, with lower panels and upper-level glazing. All features described above appear to be original except for one, namely, the anodized aluminum sliding wall in the rear projection. The interior of the house is almost entirely intact as it was built in 1959. Wooden roof trusses; a wooden ceiling; wooden interior walls, partitions, doors, cabinets, and shelving; and a linoleum floor have all been retained. The most dramatic feature is an island heating room and fireplace made of stone and copper. It shows in the original plans and is located at the south end of the living room, close to the front entrance. All of the interior features mentioned here are original, most relate to the house's exterior architecture, and all contribute strongly to the house's Second Bay Tradition architectural feeling.
