Riordan House circa 1921, is valued as an expression of the kind of architecturally designed California Arts & Crafts home built by prominent businessmen in the post World War 1 era. The side-gabled first storey is dominated by broad overhanging eaves w exposed rafters, a porte-cochere w battered Craftsman piers on the south side & a porch entry w decorative roof on the north. It has been deemed a historic site located on a prominent downtown corner, holding two land titles. The home evokes a period of economic optimism, expressed in its rich architectural detailing, as built by its original owners, the Riordan family. Rich interior woodwork of Nova Scotia fir & oak exemplifies the extraordinary craftsmanship thru-out. The home, definitely a community contribution to be valued today for it's incredible design. C1 zoning allows for many uses, it's been a restaurant, tea house, Dr's office & a very successful B & B in latter years. The legacy of this extraordinary home awaits you! (id:47466)
