From the 2009 Landmarked Homes of Kensington Tour:

Located in the Talmadge Park No. 1 subdivision, this is the second house built by noted architectural designer Cliff May. The single story, 2300 square foot house is located on a 50 foot canyon lot in Kensington and is an outstanding example of a California Hacienda-style ranch house. Built in 1933, the facade of the house is completely intact and unmodified.

May is considered the originator of the California Ranch style home. He gave a rebirth to an almost lost style as he adapted old ideas to model living. May had a natural feel for the hacienda way of life because as a 6th generation Californian, he had lived that life style. As a member of the Estudillo/Pedrorena family tree, he spent summers on the Las Flores rancho and lived in Old Town in the Estudillo house.
