de Lemos, Pedro, House - Palo Alto, CA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The de Lemos Residence is free-standing structure with access from a cul-de-sac in a largely period revival upper-middle class residential neighborhood* The building is quite irregular in outline, being essentially a series of rectangular forms arranged-around a rectangular courtyard. The building is spatially complex as well, varying between two story and one story sections of varying heights and ceiling configurations. Construction is largely wood frame with stucco although there appears to be some occasional masonry construction as in the studio inglenook. The stucco surface is enriched by insets of tile and of various relief ornament. The roof, which is covered in specially made tile, is a complex collection of gabled forms* Entrance to the house is into a loggia which is open to the enclosed courtyard, and which leads at one end to the entry proper and the living room. The loggia wraps around the sides of the courtyard as well. The pillars of the entry loggia are Byzantine revival, and were salvaged from the chapel at Stanford, ruined in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Other similar pieces including intricately carved column capitals are used at various locations in the structure." (visit link)
