The following is from the Historic Buildings Inventory as revised in 1985:
This substantial Tudor Revival house is saved from the mundane by the boldly sculptured chimney piece which has three flues in one massive chimney on the front of the structure.
This is a fine example of period Revival design, built by one of the city's principal contractors of the era, who was designer as well as builder for this and comparable houses. From the beginning, the house has been owned by the Blistering family. It was built for Frederick and Lorraine Stebinger, He was engaged in finance and manufacturing; she was a private piano teacher for over 60 years. After Mr. Stebinger's death, she married August W. Bleyle, head of Independent Elevator Co., San Francisco. The owner at the date of the Inventory was her son Thomas B. Stebinger.
