The house, approximately three-stories tall, features sharp-inclined roofs, dormer windows, a conic-shaped tower. The first floor is constructed of stone masonry. A paved walkway leads from the paved sidewalks, past the well-manicured lawn, and up to the porches of this large house. "Los Angeles Pioneer and land baron.
