The most dominant features of the subject home are the exposed natural exterior cobblestone walls and the flat and stepped decorative parapet. Although the home can be seen as a fanciful mixture of Spanish and mission styles the unique step up shaped parapet is an important and dominant feature which classifies the home as Mission style with Spanish colonial influences. The home at 3920 Adams Ave. is a single-story example of the Mission Revival style with a balanced dual wing symmetrical front façade and large triple arch window grouping. The home, built in 1926, utilizes a distinctive natural cobblestone exterior wall material which showcases the use of this natural indigenous material. The use of these natural elements as the visible primary wall material makes this home significant for its method of construction and rare use of stone craftsmanship as well as its eclectic and unique architectural style. | ||
