Front Entrance Detail
David Greenleaf House in Alameda, California

This entrance of this 1891 house shows the architect's flair for exaggerated proportions and juxtapositions in style.  Ernest Coxhead, the likely architect, seemed to enjoy an unconventional touch of Baroque classicism in his Arts and Crafts designs, as seen here in the rounded portico that supports the dramatic shingled and bell-topped tower.   Photo taken in 2002 by Howard J.
