At first glance, the architecture appears to draw inspiration from Asian influences, but upon further inspection, other details come to attention.<\/p>\n<p>The roof utilizes common red adobe tiles of the type used on Spanish-styled roofs. However, rather than rounding into the typical Espadana (bell gabled) design, the roof displays the convex taper of an Asian roof, complete with spiral decorative attachments of concrete construction on both corners of the building.<\/p>\n<p>A small porch separates the first and second floors and runs across the front of the building supported by three concrete brackets and two additional concrete spiral columns. Decorative window treatments with horizontal rows of 1-foot square panes run along the upper story.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, this building received a new tenant and modifications to the exterior were made. However, the upper story, with its distinctive roof, remains intact.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014Jake Romero es el director de operaciones de la Fundaci\u00f3n Hist\u00f3rica Gaslamp Quarter, ubicada en 410 Island Ave., Downtown, en la hist\u00f3rica Davis-Horton House.
