Description
A screen of vegetation surrounds this one-story residence,
shielding it from view. Located at the northeast corner of
Mountain and 20th Street, the house is of cobblestone
construction and is capped by a tiled gable roof. Some openings
may be round-headed, all other details are hidden. Its integrity
is unknown.
No information about this property was located. It consists of a
large, irregularly shaped parcel and was, most likely, associated
with a grove. The house is notable in this regard and for its
architectural character. Stone buildings are resources
particularly identified with the West End of San ~ernardino
County and the surrounding communities. They were made possible
by the large quantities of stone occurring in the open fields,
which needed to be cleared in order for construction or
agriculture to be pursued. Despite their stone cladding the
buildings adhered to recognizable types and styles: for example,
Craftsman, ~editerraneanIMission, utilitarianlbarn. particular
care was paid to the framing of window and door openings. While
stone was plentiful, however, most of it was used for
foundations, chimneys, porches, street gutters, and retaining
walls. All stone buildings are relatively rare and for that
reason are especially notable.
