ANDREW BOYLE HOUSE REMODELED BY WILLIAM H. WORKMAN, JR., CA. 1910
Color: Black; White
A reproduction black and white photograph of the home of Andrew Boyle as remodeled by William H. Workman, Jr., ca. 1910. The photographer stood on a wide lawn east of the house, on which two women are walking. A brick structure, the remodeling included a plastered white wall; an added second floor; and a gradually sloping peak roof crowned with tile, that seems to be lifted slightly higher than the second floor and having small windows and vents. It still had, however, the five main first-floor windows and entrance, as seen in item .21, though these have been altered, as well. Moreover, the projecting room at the right, fairly covered by landscaping, is easily noted in item .21. On either side of the home and lawn are large trees and bushes and shrubs and there is a driveway passing horizontally across the image between the house and lawn. The structure retained this appearance until it was demolished in 1995 after the previous year's Northridge earthquake rendered the building unsafe. The site is now a Japanese-American retirement home. William H. Workman, Jr. was a grandnephew of William Workman and grandson of Andrew Boyle, builder of the structure. As a newly produced photograph, the artifact is in mint condition.
