Full-height canted windows bays to right of each house; timber brackets on stone corbels supporting timber lintels to 1st floor windows; pierced barge board to gableheads.

SE (REAR) ELEVATION: projections to outer left of each house.

Statement of Interest

None of the houses were erected by 1896; they do not appear on Sutter's map of 1900, but this can not be assumed to be a reliable source.
