Its character altered by the addition of asbestos shingle siding, this unusual two-story form of Craftsman architecture was built for J.J. Krohn of the California Barrel Company in 1916. Wide eaves with exposed rafter ends; triangular knee braces in the gable ends; exposed beams on the porch, east-side overhang, and west-side bay; shed dormer; and wide front door with small glass panes and sidelights are typical Craftsman features. Contractor Charles Burrell built this house for $5000; three years later he began construction of an entire block of prototype Craftsman houses at 11th and J Streets.
