42. Charles Warren Brown House, 1908
2504 Third Street
Architect: Charles Warren Brown
Designation: 11 August 1997
"An early Craftsman era structure, this home typifies development in Ocean Park at the turn of the 20th century. It features typical Craftsman elements such as strongly delineated porch columns, exposed purlins and rafters, combinations of cladding and gable motifs. The proportion of window to wall area is high, and windows were placed in irregular combinations or banded.
"Owner-builder Brown appears to have been active in civic affairs and briefly served as a Councilman, which furthered his success as a speculative buyer and builder."
