| Buena Vista Court was built in 1922 and is comprised of eight vibrant Spanish Colonial Revival bungalows lined in two rows around a courtyard. No two houses are exactly alike and each house proudly displays varying Spanish Colonial details. All the houses have stucco walls painted in bright colors with a clay tile roof. Each house has a unique roof parapet, paint color, and stucco application. Some units have projecting wooden rafters extending through the walls. Some units have wooden porch overhangs. A variety of window types can be found on the bungalows. Some windows are grouped together while some stand alone. Some windows have decorative muntins, some are single-pane fixed windows, and some windows have brick window sills. Some windows are rounded arches, and some windows have iron decoration near the sill. Each house has a unique entrance and a unique roof parapet with irregular, rounded edges. Some roof parapets are decorated with brick. Each house has a varying pattern of stucco. Some are rough, some are smooth and each has a different stroke pattern imprinted. Each unit varies in shape, size, color, and detail, yet the bungalows are tied together with Spanish Colonial Revival style form and details. Some of the colors found include teal, yellow, orange, white, green, peach, and rose. The bungalows lined around the courtyard create an intimate community, evoking the idea of a Spanish neighborhood. |
