Address: 1920 Laguna Street
True to the bungalow style, the home at 1920 Laguna Street has wide eaves resting on exposed rafters and rectangular porch posts. With its long, low silhouette, this 1913 abode stands out from most other Craftsman Bungalows in Santa Barbara, which have a more vertical orientation and a steeper-pitched roof.
This home was probably designed by an architect, but building permits in Santa Barbara in the 19-teens did not list the names of architects. The estimated construction cost was $3,500. I was impressed to find a photo of this house in A Field Guide to American Houses by Virginia Savage McAlester, a book available at the Santa Barbara Public Library.
