Additional commentary.
1. Santa Cruz Historic Building Survey, Volume I, 1976, Page 79
”115 New, Vernacular, Ca. 1870
An L-shaped house in which each wing mirrors the other. It is a mixture of Greek Revival and Italianate influences that is ultimately neither. Each wing has a split pedimented gable, corner pilasters and slanted bays, but the character of the building derives from its forms rather then those stylistic details.
[Architectural Significance as an Example of its Style:] Good.”
