Overview
Peripatetic architect Joseph C. Newsom (1857-1930) worked in various places during his long career, in both Northern and Southern CA. The Greenshaw House was a late work by Newsom in Los Angeles,, where he worked briefly between c. 1903 and 1906. Historian Charles J. Fisherhas suggested that it was his last in this region. Three stories in height, the building was notable for its scalloped, parapeted gables, a quintessential ingredient of the Mission Revival Style.
