Criterion C: It embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, <br />or method of construction, or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous <br />materials or craftsmanship. <br /> <br />The house is an excellent example of a 1920’s Spanish Revival residence with its <br />arched porch, low pitched tile roof, stucco surfaces, tile attic vents and expanses <br />of wall.
