Thomas Faulconer was important in establishing and promoting the San Diego Zoo as its early executive director and for single handedly bringing the first koalas to the San Diego Zoo in 1925. These were also the first koalas ever brought to a zoo in the United States This house is an excellent example of the Craftsman architectural style in the Mission Hills neighborhood of San Diego. The two-story home was built in 1910 with a medium pitched side gable roof, full width porch with upper level dormer and balcony. The roof utilizes multiple Craftsman style roof elaborations including extending purlins which pierce the verge boards, open wide eaves, exposed roof rafters and repeating angle cut porch roof support beams. The single family home has a rectangular plan and two-story form with a full width front porch and second story balcony with open wood balustrade. The home sits on a corner lot with the front façade (east) elevation facing Ibis Street and the secondary south elevation facing Montecito Way. The home is a two-story and this style is sometimes referred to as 1 1/2 story since the upper level side gabled roof makes only part of the upper level space usable. | |
