”320 Santa Cruz, Epworth-by-the-Sea, Eastlake, 1887, Daniel Damkroeger
This house makes maximum use of its beautiful natural setting in a large, well planted lot across from the beach. Generous porches and large gables with bands of windows look out in every direction. The old carriage house and guest cottage complete the picture of the 19th century suburban estate.
[Architectural Significance as an Example of its Style:] Exceptional.”
