Additional commentary.
1. Santa Cruz Historic Building Survey, Volume I, 1976, Page 100
”123 Green, Italianate, 1850; remodeled 1885 & ca. 1900
A two story flat front Italianate with bracketed cornice and a finely detailed porch assembly with turned balusters, beveled posts with arches and scrollwork, and a balcony above. Originally a Methodist Church and the first Protestant Church building in Santa Cruz, it was moved here in 1864 and converted to a residence. The 1885 remodeling, which enlarged the house, resulted in the front façade that is visible today.
