| Julia Morgan designed 18888 HAYFIELD Court, Saratoga c.1920-1921 |
Renowned architect Julia Morgan designed this distinctive Tudor-Revival residence, located on a private road. City records and aerial views indicate that its complex roof is a primary character-defining feature. The main roof is a broad hip, with many gabled accent roofs and dormers providing rhythm and scale.
The windows and French doors are multi-lite wood. The porch columns and the multiple flues on the chimneys provide some relief in the outsized scale. A distinctive oculus window punctuates each of the main front gables.
This residence has a broad, horizontal composition associated with great Tudor house designs of the 1920s and a unique polished feeling associated with Morgan's work.
The 17-acre estate was subdivided in the late-twentieth century, and the original entry drive to the house was moved from La Paloma Ave to Douglass Lane. Hayfield house continues to have a proportionately large landscaped area while the surrounding neighborhood has been developed with other large single-family houses.
