The following is from the Historic Buildings Inventory as revised in 1983:
This crisply detailed two-story house has a marginal commitment to the Queen Anne and Colonial Revival modes.
A fine example of the simplified Queen Anne/Colonial Revival style.
During the early years it was occupied for brief periods by a series of families. Among them were Professor Colbert Searles, Romance Languages Department at Stanford (1910 – 1912), Edith R. Mirrielees, distinguished professor of English and Creative Writing (1914 – 1916), and Louise Heatwole, one of Palo Alto High School's most admired teachers for a quarter–century (1916 – 1917). The few long–term residents included O. J. Mauel, carpenter (1935 – 1949) and Anatol and Klaudia Krivosheev (1959 – 1977). W. C. Francis was the next owner.
It was presented with a PAST Preservation Award in 2000 and was on the 2006 Holiday House Tour.
