Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and <br />boundaries.) <br /> <br />Prominent bellcast hip-roofed dormers, accented with three multipaned arched windows, are centered in the front (west), north, and <br />south sides of the hipped roof of the Clarence Crookshank House. Carved brackets accent the main roof, dormers, and porch roof. <br />Narrow clapboard siding covers the exterior. Paired wood columns resting on solid clapboard railings support a single-storied porch, <br />topped with a mansard roof. Most of the windows are double-hung, with a leaded glass window placed next to the front door. The <br />high quality Craftsman style front door features a trio of long, narrow vertical beveled glass panels topped with three squares of <br />beveled glass. A single storied wing on the south side features a large plate glass window with a leaded glass transom and a slanted <br />bay on the south end. With the exception of the concrete front steps and possibly the single storied wing, this Colonial Revival home <br />does not appear to have been altered. <br /> <br />HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS: <br /> <br />Clarence Crookshank built this house for his bride, Anna L. Martin, in 1904. Clarence worked for his father Miles, first at the <br />Crookshank and Beatty Dry Goods Store, and later as a cashier in the First National Bank. He later become president of the Santa <br />Ana Building and Loan Company. He was active in several local civic organizations. His wife Anna died in 1912 and Clarence <br />remarried around 1916 to Janet T. Brown. They lived at this house until 1924, when they moved out to the county to Lemon Heights. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />RESOURCE ATTRIBUTES: (List attributes and codes from Appendix 4 of Instructions for Recording Historical Resources, Office <br />of Historic Preservation) <br /> <br />(HP2) Single family property <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />D-14
