This style gets its name from Sir Charles Eastlake, a prominent London furniture designer and author of Hints on Household Taste. The book, which was the widely read and accepted tome on taste and behavior, taught restraint in design. His philosophy was not understood in the US and fanciful ornamentation became associated with his name here on the West Coast.
	During this time period, ornamentation became increasingly more elaborate. Numerous wood mills south of Market Street provided an endless array of turned-wood ornaments which were applied freely. More was better. Very "boxy" angular feel, with a lot of applied vertical wood, which is the origin of the "stick" reference.
This delightful residence sports a not-too-often-seen detail, a "French Cap", at the very top of the pediment.
