Inscription. This 1929 building was built as the telephone office for Sidney H. Woodruff's Dana Point development. The unique street facade still retains many of the original feature including the decorative grilles above the front entry porch topped by the roof's front gable. A later east side addition repeats some of the Spanish Colonial Revival style elements. The building's original design is apparent in this historic photo from Woodruff's initial advertisement of Dana Point.
