Commissioned by petroleum executive David C. and Irene Norcross on a prominent hill overlooking the Bel Air Country Club.

Site: instead of stepping down the various rooms with the grade, ground was excavated so that the house itself rests practically level.
Roof: rough laid hand-made tile, almost yellow in color.
Walls: covered with Gunite which in turn has been given a hand trowelled coat of stucco, resembling old-fashioned lime plaster in texture and color.
Color scheme: walls are pure white. Some windows are painted antique yellow, others green. Shutters are green; likewise the iron work.

The house was torn down during an expansion of the property next door at 671 Siena Way.
