Regarding J.J. Wegs House.

J. J. Wegs of Wegs and Thompson Construction Co. had this house built in 1923. It is a modified Mission style with deep round-arched hoods over the entry doors. Recessed under each hood is a relief set in stucco, a free flowing interpretation of a flower. Similar arches top two small windows on the north facade. It is a striking and original interpretation of Mission themes.
