This week’s cottage was built in 1948 and retains many great original details inside and out. The outside features a unique original trim around the windows and tall, steeply pitched dormers for each of the upstairs bedrooms.

The inside features exposed beam ceilings and bricks.  The front house has 3 beds and 2 baths in 1,700 sq ft.  ​

From permit records, it looks like the first owner of the house was Voss Herrington, a surfing pal of famed surfer and surf equipment innovator 'Whitey' Harrison.
