The Classic Craftsman
Originally built circa 1910 on the weekends by its owner, a set builder from a bourgeoning Hollywood studio, this beach getaway clapboard shack was transformed into one of Ocean Park’s prized Craftsman residences by Niagara Construction. Due to the 50% rule in Santa Monica at the time of renovation, the existing structure had to remain intact as new shoring and foundations were laid. The old house was suspended while entombed by the new construction. This hand-detailed, custom wood-appointed home was rendered in the same old school craftsman style construction, paying respect to the original “set built” home.
