second floor and dormer, with false bevel drop siding on the first floor. A partial-width porch with a flat
roof projects from the main building front. The porch roof has a wooden balustrade and functions as a
second-story porch, with a pent roof around its perimeter. The porch is supported by three cylindrical
wooden columns atop a wooden terrace wall. The porch stairs are terrazzo with wooden handrails.
Windows are primarily double-hung wooden sash windows with one pane in either sash. The second-story
porch is accessed by a pair of French doors with narrow double-hung sidelight windows. The main entry
door is wooden with a single pane in an upper panel. The building was constructed for Dosa M. Geiser, a
music teacher. This building is a contributor to the district.

This 1924 two-story apartment building has features of Prairie Style. The roof is hipped and of low pitch,
with boxed eaves. Siding is stucco, with brick cladding beneath the level of the first-story floor to the
foundation. A guyed metal flat-roofed canpoy with a glass-paneled frieze is located above the main
entrance, a wooden door with a large glass pane and leaded-glass sidelights, with concrete stairs leading to
the entrance door. Windows are arranged in horizontal bands of tripartite windows on the building front,
each a single large picture window flanked by two narrow wooden sash windows with three small upper
panes and one large lower pane. Above the main entrance on the second floor is a wrought-iron balustrade
protecting an inset second-story porch. Balustrades of wrought iron are located beneath both second-story
tripartite windows, and all three balustrades feature an inset diamond pattern. The building is a contributor
to the district.

This is a two-story apartment building, built outside the district’s period of significance, and thus not a
contributor to the district.

This large two-and-a-half story building combines elements of Colonial Revival and Prairie Style and was
constructed in 1913. This lot includes both this address and 516 22nd Street, but is a single large building.
The main roof is hipped with flared ends and of low pitch. Two hipped dormers are located east and west,
with a pedimented gable dormer on the building front, and a second large dormer on the eastern roof slope.
Eave overhang is very pronounced, with boxed eaves and paneled soffits. A large porch wraps around the
southeastern corner of the building, with a hipped roof. The front façade is primarily symmetrical, while the
eastern façade (which also faces the street, due to the building’s location on a corner) is asymmetrical and
eclectic. Siding is primarily false bevel drop siding, with some use of brick cladding, and wooden shingles
on the roof dormers. A very large brick chimney is located on the eastern wall, projecting through the
eastern slope of the main roof. The building front has an angled bay above the porch. The eastern wall has a
rounded two-story bay that is clad in false bevel drop siding on the second story and brick on the first story,
and a rectangular two-story bay with a pent roof that includes a smaller rectangular bay on the first story. A
porte-cochere is located at the building rear along the north wall. A second-story addition to the building is
located above the porte-cochere. The porch is supported by cylindrical pillars with Art Nouveau details
above rectangular brick porch piers. The porch is brick, and part of the space underneath the porch has
apparently been converted into living space with non-original entry doors and aluminum slider windows.
Wooden balustrades run between the piers, and the stairs are terrazzo with brick handrails. Windows are
mostly double-hung wooden sash, either with one pane in each sash or divided light upper sashes and
single pane lower sashes. Some windows have been replaced with aluminum sliders. All windows have
sills and lintels, and many are arranged in horizontal bands divided by muntins. Windows flanking the main
building entrance are large wooden sash picture windows topped with horizontal bands of leaded stained
glass. The main entry door is a wooden paneled door with a large glazed panel, flanked by sidelights of
patterned leaded glass. The building was designed by the local firm of Seadler & Hoen for its original
owner, Edward F. Dalton, Vice President/Treasurer of California State Life Insurance Company. The
building later became a missionary training institute and was divided into multiple apartments. The
building was converted back into a single family residence in 1940. Despite some window alteration and
