The following is from the Historic Buildings Inventory as revised in 1985:
The two–story gallery, a characteristic feature of the Monterey Colonial style, is the primary visual feature of this large residence.
This house and its neighbor at 512 Coleridge display the architect's elegant and subtly varied management of the Monterey version of California Colonial Revival style. Mrs. Herbert Fox (who because Mrs. Philip N. Brooke before the house was complete), insisted on flying Birge Clark to her La Porte, Indiana home so that he could take account in his plans of her furnishings and style of living. The Brookeses occupied the house for twenty years. They were succeeded by attorney Kenneth R. McDougall (1956–1970), and then by the current [1979] owners, members of the Ishiyama family.
