Christiancy, a New York financier. Rice shaped it to suit the community covenant as a \"country gentleman's home,\" with a rectangular plan and one wing angled north to follow the hill. Walls are white stucco, the roof is red clay tile, and the entry is reached by a two-arch stairway rising to an inner courtyard with decorated tile. The house has five bedrooms and about 4,463 square feet of living space. A guest house was added around 1947, a porch was enclosed in 1957, and a pool followed in 1980. The house is recognized as an excellent example of Rice's large residences, noted for deeply recessed voids contrasting with smooth sculptural volumes, and as one element of a carefully planned community of buildings.","period_of_significance":"1927","architect_builder":"Rice, Lilian Jenette","architectural_style":"Spanish Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed in the form as single-family domestic use, both historically and currently.
