Description

Built in 1912, the LeRoy Simms Residence is a rare example of Southern California Prairie Architecture. It is located in the Mount Rubidoux Historic District and was designed by the district’s most prolific architect, Lester S. Moore. As a member of the A.I.A he was an elite practitioner of his craft during the golden age of Arts and Crafts in America. This home represents the convergence of this wonderful philosophy integrating into an entirely new landscape and climate. From its rugged setting...Built in 1912, the LeRoy Simms Residence is a rare example of Southern California Prairie Architecture. It is located in the Mount Rubidoux Historic District and was designed by the district’s most prolific architect, Lester S. Moore. As a member of the A.I.A he was an elite practitioner of his craft during the golden age of Arts and Crafts in America. This home represents the convergence of this wonderful philosophy integrating into an entirely new landscape and climate. From its rugged setting to its low, horizontal massing, the home is an ideal representation of Prairie architecture adapted to a Mediterranean climate. The wide shade porch not only keeps the home cool but it is an important feature in the home’s livability. It’s an extension of the interior living spaces with gorgeous views of downtown and the majestic mountains on the horizon. The interior features pristine original stained Oregon Pine and Douglas Fir trim as well as wonderful built-in, glass front cabinets to display Arts and Crafts pottery or heirloom dishware. Each living space flows into the next which at the time was a “modern” design, distinctly different from the Victorian architecture popular before the turn of the century. The main level features a cozy den with fireplace and pristine wood paneling. The entry, living and dining rooms are entirely original and well kept while the kitchen is conveniently located between the dining and breakfast rooms and has nice views out to the garden. On the second level there are three comfortable bedrooms, a spacious landing, hall bath as well as primary bath and two access points to an upstairs wrap-around balcony. The views from this elevated vantage point are amazing with the city lights down below and downtown riverside’s urban forest now reaching a respectable 150 years old. At the top of the street is the gate to the trails on Mount Rubidoux; Riverside’s iconic landmark and the location for the city's largest July 4th Fireworks show. Downtown, with its restaurants, hotels and museums is at your fingertips and yet tucked away in the foothills, the residents enjoy a peaceful and park-like atmosphere.
