This two-story Spanish Colonial Revival building was constructed circa 1930 . The building has a hipped<br />
roof of straight-barrel Mission tile, with broad rectangular roof rafters projecting beneath the gable ends.<br />
Walls are stucco. The building has multiple extensions from the main two-story building, including a onestory<br />
shed-roofed projection and a one-story front-gabled wing projection with an asymmetrical roof line,<br />
both of which create an L-shaped plan. Within the defined L-shape is a front patio with a stucco palisade<br />
wall. A second one-story projection from the main building extends towards the rear of the property,<br />
symmetrical and front-gabled. All of these extensions have roofs of the same straight-barrel Mission tile as<br />
the roof. A tall, narrow chimney, with a gabled cap of hollow clay tile and circular clay tile flues, is located<br />
on the north wall, stucco-clad chimneys are located on the south wall and the west wall of the two-story<br />
main building. Grouped cylindrical clay tile is used at gable ends and near the top of the tower to create<br />
decorative vents. A rectangular bay with gabled roof is located at the center of the second story. The main<br />
building entrance is recessed behind a round stucco arch. A large fixed picture window is located beneath a<br />
similar arch located at the end of the front-gabled projection nearest the building front. Two windows are<br />
concealed behind geometric cut-out screens, one with a diamond-shaped pattern (on the second floor) and<br />
one with a hexagonal pattern (on the first floor.) A window on the first floor adjacent to the main building<br />
entrance is recessed, in a manner to suggest thick adobe walls, with a decorative patterned wrought-iron<br />
window grille over the window. The windows are double-hung wooden sash windows with a single pane in<br />
each sash, with some use of wooden-sash picture windows with a single fixed pane. Most windows have<br />
wooden mosquito screens over the glazed sashes. Windows on the second floor have decorative wooden<br />
shutters. The building was constructed <strong>for</strong> Clarence H. Smith, who worked <strong>for</strong> the Cali<strong>for</strong>nia State<br />
Controller. The building is a contributor to the district.<br />
