HEMA No. 2023-10 – The Elliott House (1904 North Heliotrope Drive) <br />January 11, 2024 <br />Page 2 <br />3 <br />9 <br />0 <br />6 <br />Properties (“Register”). It was placed on the Register in 2003 and was categorized as <br />“Landmark.” <br />The Elliott House is a two-story single-family residence on a large corner parcel, sited <br />with a deep setback and constructed in an Italian Renaissance Revival style. The <br />residence has two primary facades facing North Heliotrope to the east and West 19th <br />Street to the south, with the main entrance facing North Heliotrope. The garage is <br />detached from the main residence, but is attached to a one-story accessory structure, <br />located west of the residence. The main house delineates a "T" -shaped plan, composed <br />of a one-story front wing and a two-story rear wing that makes up most of the building’s <br />footprint. The residence is clad in stucco and contains a hipped clay tile roof. Facing north <br />Heliotrope Drive, the residence is mostly symmetrical in design, utilizing arches <br />throughout the ground floor of both primary facades in both window and arched arcade <br />form. The building’s southeast corner of the two-story wing contains a recessed arcaded <br />porch that covers the main entrance. The northeast corner also contains an arcade porch. <br />Wood windows throughout the residence are mostly paired, multi-paned casement and <br />French doors. Ground floor windows and doors are arched while upper story windows are <br />primarily rectangular. The one-story wing’s rounded transoms above the windows and <br />doors feature angled muntins in a radiating pattern. Two iron-railed balconies with support <br />columns are situated at the upper south façade and northeast corner of the two-story <br />wing. A single balconette is also above the main entrance arcaded porch of the two-story <br />wing. The ground-floor terrace is contained by a classical balustrade with urn-topped <br />pedestals that spans both primary facades. Landscape includes a prominent front <br />cornered lawn with palm trees throughout. Scored concrete paths curve through the <br />landscape to the terrace. <br />The rear contains a two-car garage along the parcel’s west property line, facing south. A <br />one-story accessory building that is located between the garage and main residence and <br />is internally attached to the garage, also faces south. A curved wingwall extends down <br />from the main residence to the southeast corner of the accessory building, containing an <br />arched rear property entrance. The garage has a rectangular footprint, clad in smooth <br />stucco, and capped with a hipped, clay tile roof. The south façade’s garage door is a <br />paneled wood roll-up door. Although smaller, the accessory building also has a <br />rectangular footprint, is clad in smooth stucco, has a band of multi-light wood windows <br />that are alternating fixed and inswing operation below the roofline at the south façade, <br />and is capped with a gable, clay tile roof. <br />The main house and detached garage were built in 1931. Alterations to the house <br />include an “addition to the residence 15x22” in 1944, per historic building permits. <br />Although the permit does not specify, it was likely for the existing accessory building <br />that is internally attached to the detached garage. A 1937 Sanborn Map confirms that <br />the main house and detached garage were extant at that time, and the existing <br />accessory building was not present. A rear-yard swimming pool was added to the <br />    <br />Historic Resources Commission 50 1/11/2024 <br />
