Structure Description

The home is two stories with a red tile roof, so often seen in homes in the southwest. The house defies architectural classification and contains elements of both the Priarie and Spanish styles. The Spanish atmosphere is expressed through the recessed doorway with its slender columns and ornamental lintel. Wrought iron railings and a second floor balcony over the front door continue the feeling. The ivory-covered stucco is still in perfect condition. A small patio on the east side of the house adds to its charm.
