This home has been described as,
When journalist Carey McWilliams first introduced the term Spanish fantasy past to describe the appropriation of Spanish and Mexican culture by newly-arrived citizens to California, he was, in part, making social commentary on the romanticizing of Spanish Colonial revival buildings being constructed en masse throughout Southern California. This image of California's Mexican and Spanish past of the early twentieth-century, however appropriated it may be, defined much of the regional vernacular architecture which continues to draw people to California today. Located at the base of the San Gabriel Foothills, this three bedroom, two bathroom house exemplifies the romanticized Spanish-influenced houses that emerged during California's golden era of housing in the 1920s. The nearly nine-thousand square foot lot is a tabula rasa for pool enthusiasts or horticulturalists looking to create their own outdoor environment.
