Westerfield House "The Russian Embassy"
"The Westerfield House" by Nancy Spruance is a project I did about a decade ago. Built in 1889 for William Westerfield In about 1928 it was sold to Russian emigres who used it as their community center. It had a nightclub and a restaurant called "Dark Eyes" in the basement level ballroom. In the 1960's it became a hippie commune. From 1969 to 1983 it was restored into a single family home. The house had 28 rooms!
I've always been fond of it, because it reminds me of a house we lived in for about 20 months when I was in kindergarten and first grade.
