919 Broadway, Earl Bert Apartments, 1993

Description:	On slide mount: 919 Broadway, Earl Bert Apts., CA, Jul. 93 Yes Earl Bert Apartments919 Broadwayc. 1920This apartment building stands on the site of a former frame, single-family residence. Built around 1920 and owned by Earl Bert Walton and his wife Mary Etta, this building originally contained four apartment units. Mr. Walton was a nurseryman by trade. The couple lived in Apartment 1 as the owner/manager from 1921 through 1943.The Earl Bert is interesting as a very individualistic mix of architectural styles. The buildings basic form, the band windows across the front, and the stuccoed facade are all based on contemporary currents of the early 1920s. However, there are eclectic touches, including the stepped parapet and the doorway frontispiece, with its engaged, Ionic columns and pediment modeled on classical sources.Chatham-Arch Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1982 multi-family dwelling
