| dc.description | Original oak tree, stone retaining wall and octagonal living room; After their marriage and European honeymoon in 1901, Charles Greene and his wife, Alice, purchased a lot overlooking the picturesque Arroyo Seco and began planning their new home under the shade of a mature oak tree. The home expanded, eventually comprising a total of seven bedrooms in a two- and one-half-story structure. Most striking was the partial octagonal shape of the living room, with its four window-walls projecting out toward the Arroyo. A brick garage, dug into the hillside in 1914, marked the final addition by the Greene family before their move to Carmel in 1916. The house and its stone and clinker-brick retaining wall set the tone for the street, where the Greenes built several other houses, extending the stone and brick wall and brick sidewalk paving; the area was called "Little Switzerland."
