Saunders House – Hamilton

This fine house, designed in Spanish Colonial Revival style by architect Earl T. Glasgow, is an irregular U-plan incorporating a garden courtyard and garage to the rear. The stuccoed, hollow tile house is roofed in red Mission tile; the front elevation features a shed-roofed porch of massive timber construction and an asymmetrically placed battered chimney. The house was constructed by contractor Joe Driskell for Tom B. Saunders, III and his wife, Virginia. Saunders was a livestock dealer and later headed T. B. Saunders & Co. The residence remains in excellent original condition.
