Description

The influence of the English Arts and Crafts tradition is reflected in this two-story Craftsman home. Stucco-clad, the wood frame structure is capped by bellcast gables. Bargeboards and rafters have rounded ends and are exposed as triangular braces in the eaves. Horizontal slats provide venting in the gable ends. The entry is offset below a gabled dormer. Multipaned casement windows are clustered about the exterior. Notable features include a corbeled second floor bay, corbeled window boxes and a tall stucco chimney on the facade. Other details are hidden by the lush mature landscaping. Other than a small addition, the house appears to be intact and in good condition.

This house occupies a portion of lot 172 of the Ontario Colony. Along with two adjacent ten acre lots it was formerly owned by Colonel James and Francis M. Paul. In 1917-18 this house and a grove were added to the land which became the property of their son, Earl Wheeler Paul as of 1917. An orange grower like his father and most of his neighbors, Earl Paul also followed his father's footsteps by assuming the presidency of the Commercial National Bank. Paul lived in this house with his wife Nellie until 1925 when he built 2009 N. Euclid for his family. This property was sold to Edmund Mackie. Paul pursued his career in the financial world, and his later positions included the vicepresidencies of the Security Bank and Trust and the Bank of America. This house is significant for its association with him, with the development of Euclid Avenue, and for its architectural quality and integrity.
