No 2 is a Californian bungalow (c.1922) with leadlight in a four panel casement window facing east and in another four panel casement window at the front of the house. The design uses a large bevelled glass square as the focus. This is surrounded by a circular wreath of green highlighted with blue, red and orange glass. This is a very elegant design.
