Also address integrity) <br />The Wahl House is architecturally significant as an unusually picturesque example of the Storybook variant of the English <br />Revival style, one of several variations on this theme in the Wilshire Square neighborhood. Sometimes labeled by their <br />builders as `artistic homes,"these houses often featured an eclectic blend of medieval English and Norman French traditions. <br />This seven -room house was built for Fred C. Wahl, a plumber with the Russell Plumbing Company, in 1930 for an estimated <br />cost of $6, 000. Included in the 1989 Wilshire Square Home Tour, the interior of the house features original finishes, <br />hardware, lighting, and built-ins. The cottage garden has been pictured in Sunset magazine and other publications. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and <br />*B12.
