Other Locational Data: Assessor’s Parcel Number 001-176-01 <br />*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) <br />Located on a corner parcel in West Floral Park, the Brophy House is a one-story, single-family Mid-Century Modern Style <br />residence with an attached garage and rear pool (Figure 1). The building features a U-shaped plan that emphasizes privacy <br />with two primary facades: the main living area in the west wing facing Westwood Avenue, and a louvered privacy wall with a <br />rear yard entrance and an attached garage in the south wing facing Santa Clara Avenue (Figure 2). Asymmetrical in design, <br />the house exhibits a horizontal emphasis expressed through a low-pitched, complex hipped roof with deep overhanging <br />eaves and continuous fascia that wraps around the building’s roofline (Figure 3). The center point where the west and south <br />wings meet form a prominent southwest building corner with a slightly higher pitched gable roof than the majority of the <br />building (Figure 4). The exterior of the house is clad primarily in a combination of stucco and stonewall, with minimal <br />concrete block towards the rear. The main entrance, which is located behind security doors, is composed of double solid <br />pedestrian doors with two doorknobs each adorned by round bronze ornamentation. The entrance is raised above two <br />shallow stone-clad steps and is situated under a wide overhanging eave with a single cylinder support beam that forms the <br />front porch (Figure 5). <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 5.) <br />*P3b.
