Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) Located on a double lot on the southeast corner of Heliotrope Drive and Santa Clara Avenue, the Maharajah House is a two - story residence representative of the Art Moderne variant of the Moderne style. A flat roof accented by a thin band at the roofline tops the 'T' shaped building, which is finished in smooth stucco. Walls extend to the north and south to enclose gardens and patios. The massing of the structure suggests an assemblage of cubic volumes and reflects the influence of the emerging International Style of architecture. The northwest and southwest corners of the second story of the facade are cut away, creating terraces that are seamlessly integrated into the massing. Horizontal lines are emphasized through the roofline banding, similar banding around the terrace parapets, and architectural details such as window grilles and canopies. A notable feature, and one highly characteristic of the style, is the use of multi -light metal casement windows that wrap the corners of the building. Located at the approximate center of the fagade and flanked by pilasters scored to resemble masonry, the tripartite entry is deeply recessed and decorated in an intricate, geometric pattern. An allee of palms is paved in stone and spans the deep front lawn from the sidewalk to the entrance. On the north elevation, painted wrought iron gates shield the garage. On the south, a bronze equestrian statue is just visible behind the garden wall. In excellent condition, the property is substantially unaltered on the exterior. *P3b.
