*P3a. Description:
The property consists of an elegant wood-frame, single-story Queen Anne style residence. The home was
reportedly built in 1900 by Frederick James Thomas as a rental. A nearly identical home was built by Mr. Thomas
at 123 Race Street. Mr. Thomas was born in Santa Clara County in 1860 and moved to Grass Valley with his father
in 1868. The subject properly was purchased from James Gleason in 1868. When Mr. Thomas died in 1922 his
wife Ida and son Carroll inherited the two Queen Ann homes and another nearby home. Ida sold the subject
property in 1951. Character defining features of the home include its complex combination of gable and hip roofs,
pedimented gables with single and double windows in the center of the gable, simple friezes below the eaves, a
side bay window with decorative wooden brackets above the side windows, 1/1 wood-sash, double-hung windows
in pairs and singles, and a 1/1 front porch with turned colurnns and Eastlake style railing and an openwork pattern
forming a frieze below the porch eaves. The left side of the porch is designed as a open bay. A Victorian front entry
door is reached through a series of wooden stairs. The yard is fully landscaped with mature trees (pink dagwood),
