4 7. Moses Hostetter House, 1893
2601 Second Street
Architect: Unknown
Designation: 12 April 1990
"This Victorian era single family home was constructed by Moses Hostetter, an Iowa farmer who migrated to Santa Monica in 1893. Hostetter served as a member of the Santa Monica Board of Trustees between 1896 and 1900, acting as chairman of several committees. The house features two three-sided, two story bay windows. The exterior is clad in the original redwood bevel siding with decorative fishscale shingles. The only alteration to the structure is the removal of the upper gable, which occurred sometime in the 1920's.
"The house was carefully restored during the 1980's."
