Early Silver Lake Craftsman embraces a colorful present
The year was 1917: Scientist Albert Einstein published his first paper on cosmology, daredevil Harry Houdini performed his first buried alive stunt and this Craftsman bungalow found its first owner. Over the years, the single-story has seen a few renovations including a colorful paint job and some modern updates along the way. In its current iteration, the once dark-wood interiors are now glistening white.
