Description

Although altered, this two-story residence retains the outlines of its American Foursquare styling. A hipped roof, accented by a centered, hipped dormer, caps the structure. The entry is lined up below the dormer and is flanked by broad windows with transomlike upper sashes. Tripartite openings appear elsewhere on the house. When the building was remodeled it was given some of the attributes of the Monterey Revival style, including a balcony across the facade, stucco sheathing, and a fluted pilaster entry surround. The house is in good condition and surrounded by mature vegetation and trees.

As one of the old grove houses on Euclid Avenue this residence constitutes a link in the history of Upland. It is located on lot 505 of the Ontario Colony. The assessment record indicates that Louiee Stamm was assessed for the property as early as 1900, when the assessment included an amount for trees and vines, but not for any improvements. George T. Stamm became the owner in 1914, by which time the house had been built. Stamm was a rancher, like most of his neighbors on Euclid Avenue. He achieved local notoriety from his victimization by a couple of bank robbers. He occupied the house at least through the 1920s with his wife Myra.
