|
|
This 2-1/2 story house is a good example of the Craftsman style used in a sizeable and imposing structure rather than the smaller cottages and bungalows that are more common. It was built in 1911. The original owner is not known, but the primary owners were John and Pauline Hewitt; he is listed in the directory as treasurer of the University Club. They purchased the hose in 1918 and remained here until the 1940s. Through the 1950s-60s it was owned by Mrs. Geraldine Dennison.
