Paul Shoup House, American Craftsman residence in Los Altos, California.
The Paul Shoup House features wooden windows, Douglas fir floors, decorative brackets, and bell eaves that reflect early 20th century architectural elements.
Built in 1910, this residence belonged to Paul Shoup, a Southern Pacific Railroad executive who served as president from 1929 to 1938.
The house represents the development of Los Altos, as Paul Shoup established the Altos Land Company to facilitate residential growth near the railway line.
The property underwent extensive rehabilitation to update plumbing and electrical systems while maintaining its historical architectural characteristics.
The property includes a historic grotto dedicated to Shoichi Kagawa, a gardener who lived on-site until World War II internment.
