     "This bungalow court consists of 13 individual Craftsman style units, congregated along the perimeter of the property, forming a lushly landscaped central courtyard that is shared by the residents of the complex.

     "Bungalow courts provide many of the amenities of a single family home at an affordable price, and were the precursors to garden apartments which were considered a more permanent housing type. This building type was popular in the early 20th century as vacation homes and offered opportunities for community life and gatherings.

     "The property was subdivided into condominiums in 1993."
