Architect-builder E. Eldred Magie Jr. designs this stucco house for himself
E. Eldred Magie Jr., whom the 1925 city directories describe as both architect and builder, designed this Mediterranean Revival house in 1924-25 to live in himself. He did not stay long, having moved elsewhere by the early 1930s. The stucco-covered house has a one-story portico of four round arches carrying a roof terrace, and iron balconies on wrought-iron brackets.
“…who was listed in the 1925 city directories as an architect and builder, designed this house for his own use, but had moved elsewhere by the early 1930s.”
