The following is from the Historic Buildings Inventory as revised in 1985:

Physical appearance: The form of this pair of small stucco one-story Mission Revival houses is echoed at slightly reduced scale in their shared garage. The symmetrical placement of the units lends a formality and dignity to the ensemble which are rare in such modest structures.

Significance: This is a very fine composition of buildings which are individually good examples of their style. Both have served as rental units whose tenants rarely occupied them for more than a year or two. The occupant whose tenure was notably longer was F. Frank Klockman, a contractor, who lived at 761 Everett from 1956 – 1966. Esther Reller of Menlo Park was the owner in 1983.

These houses were built in 1916 and are a Category 4 on the Historic Buildings Inventory. The builder was C. H. Fuller from Menlo Park. The property measures 100 by 50 feet.
