232 Corbin Place

Demolition started yesterday. The roof has been torn into.


What made the little house significant to me:
1) Wood siding
2) Large glass window panes along the front room extension and wood detailing along the spandrel beam level
3) Matching front and back extensions
4) The simple, dock-like terrace off the back of the building (which seemed to signify how close the ocean water used to be)
5) Blue everywhere
6) It has predated the construction of most of everything else
7) It was a part of the Manhattan Beach Estates
8) Formerly owned by Joseph M. Newmark - the owner of the Riverside Viaduct Realty Company (citation to be provided soon)
