Arthur L. Knight House

-A A +A
1930, O. H. Thorman. 250 Pennsylvania Pl.

A squat entrance tower, its roof barely visible above the house’s adjacent eaves, is the centerpiece of this two-story Mediterranean villa’s street front. The only other form applied to the long, flat block in pink stucco and low, red barrel tile roof is a cantilevered balcony adjacent to the tower.

Thorman was the architect for two other Spanish-style houses facing Pennsylvania Place’s central grass circle: the Edgar W. Burchard House (1931), and the Paul D. Thomas House (1935) at 233 and 230 Pennsylvania, respectively.
