  1. 1911

    One of a row of fifteen Craftsman houses Alonzo Harrington built along this block between 1911 and 1913 — one of only two long rows put up in the neighbourhood before 1915. The row is largely intact, and this house has been restored, with earlier unsympathetic modernisations reversed.
