Detail, upper window and eaves; Down the street from the Lee and Teats houses and across from the Marston house, Gill designed a house for Mary Cossitt in 1906. Here his style took an important step forward. Eliminate the cornice and wide eaves and this house would become an arrangement of simple cubic shapes. The beautifully crafted redwood interior is more complex with several levels including two distinct stories. Gill had previously designed three houses for Mrs. Cossitt in Coronado and later designed four more on Eighth Avenue in San Diego.
