Call by a Mr. Burkett.","why_significant":"The house is a fine example of late-1800s pattern book architecture with Queen Anne, Victorian and Eastlake influences, built in native California materials. It contributes to the turn-of-the-century character of Vine Street and reflects the early, hot-springs-driven development of Paso Robles. It is also tied to Dr. Samuel Johnson Call and his sister Susanna Call Booth, the town's first postmistress.","narrative":"This single-story Victorian cottage at 1315 Vine Street in Paso Robles was built in 1893 of native redwood for Dr. Samuel Johnson Call, a physician at the Paso Robles Hot Springs. Its pattern-book design features a hip roof with cross gables, Palladian windows, wave-patterned shingles and an Eastlake veranda frieze. Later owners altered the porch and bathrooms in the 1920s and 1940s, but a restoration returned the exterior details, recovered the original fireplace mantels and kept the fir floors and redwood trim. The house reflects the early development of a town built around a mineral spring that drew visitors by rail. Call sold it in 1904 to his sister, Susanna Call Booth, who became the town's first postmistress and lived there until her death in 1944. Because of her long residence, it is often called the Booth house. It is one of the few single-story houses of its style and period in Paso Robles.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1893 - 1938","architect_builder":"Burkett for Dr. S.J.
