It is a rare transitional design combining the two styles and uses local arroyo stone, clinker brick and extensive wood detailing. It is listed under the Architecture criterion.","narrative":"Built in 1904 in the Highland Park district of Los Angeles, this large wood-frame house sits on a sloping pentagonal lot at 4601 North Figueroa Boulevard, behind an arroyo stone retaining wall. It has an irregular plan of about 5,000 square feet, a circular tower with a conical roof, gables, dormers, a second-story balcony and clinker brick chimneys. Clapboard covers the lower walls and wood shingles the upper. Inside, decorative millwork, built-ins, box beams, pocket doors and stone and brick fireplaces survive. The architects or builders were Charles Hornbeck and Alfred P. Wilson. The nomination describes the house as an excellent example of the Shingle Style shaped by the Craftsman influence of the Arroyo Seco Arts and Crafts community, a combination it calls uncommon. In 2000 and 2001 it was converted to a child care facility, with a compatible new addition and structural strengthening carried out to preservation standards.","period_of_significance":"1904","architect_builder":"Hornbeck, Charles; Wilson, Alfred P.","architectural_style":"Queen Anne/Craftsman (described in the significance section as Shingle Style with Craftsman influence)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Rehabilitated in 2000-2001 for use as a child care facility; the living and dining rooms serve as classrooms.
