"Stick-Eastlake structures were plain, simple and relatively
modern. Stick houses are characterized by a large, ornamental truss
under the gable eaves of a house. They frequently include square
bay windows, flat roof lines and free-style decorations.
Eastlake houses were named for British architect and arts writer
Charles Eastlake and featured more decoration. The two styles
merged to be called "Stick-Eastlake."
This two story house is named for the original owner, John
McConaughy, founder of the first regularly scheduled freight and
passenger service in San Diego County. McConaughy's four-horse
passenger stages and six-horse wagons operated between San Diego
and Julian."
