Additional commentary.
1. Santa Cruz Historic Building Survey, Volume II, May 1989, Page 36
”317-321, and 323 Lincoln Street, Lincoln Court, Vernacular, 1910
Influenced by both Craftsman and Colonial Revival styles, this group of bungalows form a court. The auto court was architecture’s early response to the need to provide access and off street parking for automobiles. The number of auto courts remaining in Santa Cruz can be counted on one hand.”
