NOTES
Additional Information:This diminutive Mediterranean Revival style house is a simple example of the style. The tan brick exterior is punctuated on the main elevation with a number of round-arched openings, both paired and tripartite. A round-arched opening with wrought-iron gate leads to the side elevation. There is no porch, but a piazza with a brick wall in front of the main elevation.

George Smiley was a Mason
