Queen Anne Cottage/Bu..11.galow
Briefly describe the present physical description of the site or structure and describe any major alterations frorn its original condition:
Surrounded by a white picket fence, 6)0 Purissima is a single story wooden frame house that is an unusual example of a -~ueen Anne cottage vrhich has been "moderrJ.zed" with Bungalow style detailing. The Queen Anne elements include a slanted bay on the facade and one on the north elevation With double hung sash fenestration. The siding is narroH dapboard Nith a variety of corne:r boards. Bunp:alo1-; elements include the roofline with 1 ts exagerrated eaves and exposed rafters, the truss-like p:able screens and the over-sized porch posts designed in the Craftsman manner. The result is a very striking structure w·hich illustrates the overlapping of two distinct architectural styles upon a small and rather simple wooden resid'3nce. · The picket fence adds much to define the site. Landscaping is minimal and a detatched garage is located behind the structure,

SIGNIFICANCE 19.
Briefly state historical and/or architectural importance {include dates, events. and persons associated with the site./
The structure is Significant primarily due to its architecture and to the condition of the building, Architecturally, the residence is a unique mixture of Queen Anne Cottage and Craftsman Bungalow desiFcn which provides an excellent example of a transition from the earlier Victorian style most prevelant in Northern California to a turn-ofthE.-century style which supplanted it in eno!'mous popularity. The residence adds much to the urbanscape of F~lf Moon Bay.
