Architectural details & original record
READ THE ARCHITECTURE
What sets this group apart.
Root and Rust’s five houses begin the north-side inventory. LPC recorded three stories over basements, brick exteriors and stucco at basement level, with elevated entrances that establish the avenue’s rhythm.
Bracketed cornices
Projecting roof-edge brackets connect the houses visually.
Stuccoed basements
The report distinguishes brick upper stories from stucco at basement level.
