So what do you do with a stately older home? You turn it into a mortuary. In this case it is one of the better known mortuaries in Fresno, Yost and Webb. We do not enter, but look at what used to be the main enterance and enjoy the view of the house.

Martin Home (1912)

Lee Duncan, Designer
Craftsman Bungaloid

This is one of the largest homes in the "bungalow" style in Fresno. It is a particularly fine example of the use of river rock as a decorative element. Such "natural" decorative features were a common element of Craftsman design. This home has been a mortuary since 1960.
