Historical California Home Styles

The photos below are snapshots of a handful of California homes which exhibit a distinctive and well known style or fashion of architecture.  Each house shows a clear expression of its style and the periods of architecture represented are common throughout the state.  All of these houses are at least 50 years old and are all still privately inhabited. The identity of the architect is included on ones that are known. I am in no other way associated with these homes whatsoever.  Should you have any questions you can reach me through my "Contact" page by clicking in the menu bar above. All pictures were taken by me personally and are intended simply for informational purposes.  Enjoy!
