"This fine example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style was constructed in 1927 by Clinton Gordon Parkhurst, the next to the last mayor of Venice before this city became incorporated into the City of Los Angeles. It was designed by the architectural firm of Marsh, Smith and Powell. Partner Norman F. Marsh was responsible for the design of the many prominent structures in, as well as the plan for the arcaded streets and canals of, Venice. The multi-sided tower with its intricate design formed by protruding bricks, as well as it other ornamentation, makes this one of the more visible landmarks on Main Street. This building is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places."
