Additional commentary.
1. Santa Cruz Historic Building Survey, Volume III, March 2013
123 Jordan Street, Notley House, Stick, ca. 1892

This two‐story Stick style house typifies a vernacular Victorian‐era residence from the late nineteenth century, incorporating upright Stick style details of the 1880s, with an asymmetrical form that became more typical in the 1890s. The characteristic features of this residence include the large hipped roof with front and side accent gables, the decorated king‐post truss at the front gable end, the round, hooded attic vent, the elongated corbels and other distinctive Eastlake detail ornaments at the gables and front porch, and the full‐height square bay window with extended window trim. The house was built about 1892, and John L. Notley is the first identified owner. He was an owner of the W. E. Maxcy & Co. saloon located on Pacific Avenue.
