The Crane House

It isn't a design; it's a reference to the person who built the house. The houses were all catalog houses of varying designs that were ordered - for example from the Sears catalog - and then built on site. Since yours was also built by a "Crane", might this have been a family that decided to site their homes in Bayview Heights?

Where is this Crane House ?My house at 210 Mira Mar could also be called a Crane House. This house was built in 1920 for a Mrs. Florence Crane. She and/or her son Harold T. Crane owned it until around 1938. Since my house is older I am going to claim the original Crane house designation.

In the ongoing battle with "teardown development" in our neighborhood I am convinced that nothing will serve our cause better than to "personalize" this debate.
