The following is from the Historic Buildings Inventory as revised in 1985:
An arcaded sun room (s0mewhat altered) is the primary point of architectural interest in this one-story stucco Spanish Colonial Revival house. There is also some unusual detailing around the windows of the main block of the structure.
A rather out-of-ordinary variation of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. See 1921 Castilleja Street for history of Southgate, the district in which the house is located.
The first owners were Earl and Deruchette P. Pooler (1928 to 1956). They were succeeded (1957 to 1969) by Professor Newton S. Hawley and his wife Virginia, and soon after (1972) by Calvin and Shirley Radl.
It served as a model home and sales office for the Southgate tract.
