STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

An unusual and interesting Spanish Mission house built in the 1920s. It is architecturally significant locally as a fine and intact surviving example of the Spanish Mission style. It is historically significant locally as an embodiment of a particular way of life in Newtown between the wars and perhaps of the aspirations of its owner. Also probably as an early and pioneering example of this style here.

INTACTNESS: Apparently, excellent. The porch may have been infilled to form the right projecting bay.

CONDITIONS AND THREATS. Excellent. None
