Another Historical Landmarks Plaque Dedicated On Another Historical Landmarks Plaque Dedicated

On a sunny December 15, the latest historical landmarks plaque was unveiled at Sue Speth’s lovely Craftsman home directly overlooking Cabrillo Beach. Fittingly, the plaque commemorates the house as “The Cliffside Craftsman.” It was built in 1914, when the southern end of San Pedro was considered far from the center of town, though it was connected by a line of the Pacific Electric.
*
Sue opened her home to all who attended the event and provided delicious refreshments. Standing on the front porch steps, she explained the history of the Craftsman aesthetic and the social context in which this architectural style flourished. Drew Leach, a representative from Councilman McOsker’s office, spoke, and later Kelly Cross from Supervisor Janice Hahn’s office presented an illuminated certificate to mark the occasion. 
*
The Cliffside Craftsman was formerly the home of Sue’s mother, Nan Roberts, and Nan’s husband, Bill. Both played a major role in the restoration of our Muller House Museum. Nan was largely responsible for finishing the beautiful African gumwood mantels and wainscoting in the museum, as well as the doors and the many windows. She likewise took on the huge task of refinishing the extensive interior woodwork of the Craftsman. Some of the woodwork is visible in the photos below. When you’re out Cabrillo Beach way, look for this San Pedro landmark
*
We hope you will join us at our next Historical Landmarks Plaque Ceremony. Check back for upcoming details.
