Description

This two-story Craftsman home combines several elements of the stylistic vocabulary into a highly characteristic design. Very low-pitched, front and side gables cap the structure, with rafters and beams exposed in their generous overhangs. Beams and rafters are exposed in the eaves. Alternating wide and narrow slats form vents in the peaks of two of the front gables. Shingles sheathe the dwelling, laid with alternating exposures as to create a strong horizontal line. A broad porch projects from the east half of the facade, covered by a one of the front gables. Tapered cobblestone pedestals and short wood piers with an exaggerated taper support the porch roof. Cobblestone was also used for the porch wall, foundation and a chimney on the west elevation. Two rows of small square lights pierce the front door, located at the west end of the porch. It is flanked by a tripartite window to the east.

On the basis of style it is estimated that this house was built around 1910. Until 1931 it was located in Ontario; in that year portions of the area south of Arrow and west of Euclid were annexed to Upland. This house is significant as an above average representative of the Craftsman style, one of several widely scattered, Craftsman houses in the vicinity. Most likely it was also associated with a citrus grove, as well.

A broad window banded by eight square lights at the top is centered on the wing that projects west of the porch. pairs of double-hung sash windows appear on the upper story. In good condition, the house appears to be unaltered.
