Historic Landmark No. 1152 Loma Portal Community Designated August 28, 2014 |
|
|
Originally area was known as Roseville on Point Loma. The subject property was built by Master Builder Benjamin M. Torgerson in 1940 in the Roseville / Point Loma neighborhood of San Diego. It is a notable work of Master Builder Benjamin M. Torgerson and is comparable to his other works while also being an original and highly distinct work of his. The arched wall dormers and partial width front standing seam roof covered porch is unusual and unique and reflects a large and important example of a Regency / Colonial Revival home. This highly distinctive Colonial Revival home with shingle and stucco surfacing and arched dormers design stand out as a high styled example of Torgerson's work designed during the same time he was designing his simplified "California Colonial," which he built in 1939. The resource is representative of the notable work of Master Builder Benjamin Torgerson and has a high level of integrity. The Earle and Helen Brucker / Benjamin Torgerson House is an excellent significant example of the work of Master Builder Benjamin Torgerson in San Diego when he was building larger, more elaborate homes and developing his distinctive Colonial design style. The house embodies distinctive elements of Torgerson's style of Regency / Colonial Revival architecture. The home is an important example of his architectural skill and design in 1940, just before his retirement in 1942. | |
