Clinker Brick House at 3720 Stoddard Avenue (1923)<br />

The Clinker Brick House located at 3720 Stoddard Avenue in the North <strong>of</strong> SR-60<br />

area is an outstanding example <strong>of</strong> the philosophy inherent in the Arts and Crafts<br />

Movement applied to a modest dwelling as exemplified by its use <strong>of</strong> exposed hollow<br />

tile construction and detailing such as is seem in the porch and piers. The residence<br />

was constructed in 1923 by builder Karl Martin <strong>of</strong> Karl Martin & Company, a brick<br />

supplier, for owners A.L. and Amy C. Stevenson in the Valley View Tract (1911).<br />

Mrs. Stephenson was employed as a teacher at the nearby Fremont Elementary<br />

School (1917) across Main Street. In 1960-63, the state acquired the rear one-third <strong>of</strong><br />

the original parcel for the construction <strong>of</strong> State Route 60, which prompted the<br />

removal <strong>of</strong> the original garage.<br />
