Dr. Edith J. Claypole, a physician who may have met the Greenes
through her father’s membership at the Twilight Social
Club, commissioned a small home with few luxuries. The oversized
cobblestones supporting the corners of the house, a tiled front
porch, and a subsidiary porch off the dining room with overhead
trellis for climbing vines offered attractive details to the
simple but thoughtful house plan. Since space was at a premium,
the living room and dining room spaces for both day-to-day living
and entertaining were designed to be contiguous but were separated
by a pair of leaded French doors. A fireplace was built in the
large living room and interior casement windows in the main
bedroom allowed the warmed living air to circulate between the
two rooms. The remaining windows used double-hung sashes. The
Pasadena homeowner’s common interest in creeping vines
was propagated with the addition of garden netting attached
to the shed room over the entry porch. The house has been demolished.
