The following is from the Historic Buildings Inventory as revised in 1984:
This vernacular house is identical to 1022 Webster except for the porch rail detailing.
See entry for 1022 Webster. D. C. Burns was an early, if not the earliest, occupant (to 1904). Mrs. Ann C. Burns was a nurse. A daughter, Gertrude Burns, was employed by a women's dry good shop until 1920.
From 1904-1958, it was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Huttman. Huttman was a gardener on the Bassett estate in Menlo Park after establishing a drayage business connected to the Wells Fargo office in Mayfield in 1890. The family moved to Palo Alto in 1894. Mrs. Lucy Huttman, a native of England, celebrated her 100th birthday a few months before her death in 1955.
The owner in 1978 was Allen S. Hayes.
