Additional commentary.
1. Santa Cruz Historic Building Survey, Volume I, 1976, Page 30
”924 Third Street, Queen Anne, 1891, Thomas J. Welsh
A great, rambling Queen Anne which has an oversized tower with a high pointed roof. The stained glass windows on the sun porch are very fine. The best view of the house is from the flatlands behind it where you can see the carriage house with silo tower.
[Architectural Significance as an Example of its Style:] Exceptional."
