- Description
- Slide, color transparency: Ludwig-Metzger House at 429 Eighth Street, Santa Rosa, California, photographed in 1976. Reconstructed façade. This fine Stick/Eastlake home was built in 1885 and moved to this site by the Metzger family in 1904. After years of vandalism and neglect, and having suffered several fires, the street façade was reconstructed in 1992 by Thom Stewart. The original building was constructed by noted Santa Rosa builder T.J. Ludwg. Much of the original façade has been retained in the reconstruction, including elaborate spindles, brackets, cutout detailing, hooded windows, curved mansard roof on the rounded bay and Moorish style entry porch.
