Constructed in 1932 by the US Coast Guard.

This three-bedroom house is the last remaining of four, this being the southeastern of the former quadrangle. Its Mission Revival design is seen in the red tile roof, stucco exterior and arched entranceway. The interior also has architectural features such as carved rustic beams, wrought iron structural elements, fireplace, arched doorways and brass fittings. A new tile roof was installed in 1983. The San Valle tile was carefully selected to simulate the original tile, which has since been crushed for use on the walks. The job included installation of new roof flashing and replacement of some of the copper gutters and down spouts. Crews removed the asbestos shingles, which had for ten years sheathed the original stucco walls.
