Designed by renowned architect Richard Mortimer Bates Jr., Bates was a graduate from the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture, which had close links to the finest school of architecture in the world, E'cole des Beaux Arts in Paris. While in Europe, Bates studied different architectural styles such as Italian Renaissance and Baroque. This cultured experience influenced his work in Coronado, as he designed 21 units in the Spanish revival style. Six of his properties still remain on the Island. Each house is unique. This property boasts a well-considered high vaulted ceiling and courtyards with exquisite features such as wood floorings, a port hole stained glass window, (which was a signature style of his) fireplace alcoves and an elevated Spanish style frontage which gives the property charming character and historical appeal. This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Coronado Island's history and to enjoy living in this architectural gem.
