”1120 King, Craftsman, Ca. 1919, Walter G. Byrne
A shingled Craftsman house all under one jerkinhead roof. By one of Santa Cruz’s best native architects, Walter G. Byrne, for himself. The low eaves and squat appearance of the house recall the origins of the Craftsman style in rural medieval houses.
[Architectural Significance as an Example of its Style:] Excellent."
