Many people don't realize that like Pasadena, Santa Monica has many architectural gems. This is a Greene & Greene Arts and Crafts bungalow sitting high on a bluff overlooking Santa Monica Canyon with a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean. Many years ago the owners, friends of mine, asked me to lend them my Jack Russell Terrier, Killer, to rid the crawl space under the house of rats. He came up empty handed.

So Killer failed to live up to his name eh? LOL That's funny. Love the sketch John. Loved Pasadena when I was there way back then... but don't know Santa Monica all that well... having only spent a couple of days there quite a long time ago now. I like how the pillar pops... so architecturally pleasing :-)
Thanks, Jean. There's a story that when Frank Lloyd Wright first saw a Greene Brothers house in San Francisco he scoffed that they had stolen the style from him, ignoring the fact that the Greenes originally predated Wright and his similar Prairie Style houses by a decade or more.
