"The Bradford House, built in 1902 in an orange grove of which a remnant re- mains, is a large two-storied shingle Colonial Revival structure. A wide front veranda, ornamented with simple Colonial Revival columns, extends around the west and east sides of the house. There are decorative door overhangs on the west and south sides of the house and a projecting bay on the east side. Originally, the simple eave bracketing was repeated in the roof cresting which has since been removed. A recent fire destroyed the roof, which has since been replaced, and damaged the interior. The carpeting, wallpapers, paint, and damaged trim is being replaced. Valuable mantel pieces, leaded glass curved cabinet doors, and light fixtures have been stored and will be reinstalled during rehabilitation. A portion of the veranda which had been enclosed at one point has been returned to its original condition. The house is situated on its original two and a half acre site. The house and grounds have been given to the City of Placentia by its owner, the grandson of the founder of the city." (
