A GLIMPSE INTO HISTORY
Built in 1893, this striking Victorian home has long been a landmark at the corner of Willow and Short. Recognized by the Heritage Society of Pacific Grove for its size, corner presence, and architectural charm, it features a hipped roof, decorative shingles, bracketed gables, and windows adorned with stained glass borders. When James and Mary Looram purchased the property in 1975, it had been a two-family home advertised as the “house with the hidden room.” During their careful restoration to singlefamily living, they uncovered not one, but two hidden rooms, a delightful surprise considering their five children. Over the years, the Loorams modernized the kitchen, created a balcony over the front porch, and added a walk-in closet and expanded the primary bedroom upstairs, all while preserving the home’s Victorian character.
