The City Council will decide Tuesday whether to designate an iconic Naples house as a Long Beach historic landmark.
Built in 1961, the two-story residence at 82 Rivo Alto Canal was designed by renowned local architect Edward Killingsworth.
Also known as Case Study House #25 , Killingsworth designed the home for former Wilson High School classmate and furniture merchant Edward Frank.
Its entrance, highlighted by a 17-foot-tall front door made of seamless aluminum, is designed for guests arriving at the home’s 40-foot dock on the canal.
Once guests exit the canal, rectangular stepping stones lead over a reflecting pool to the towering front door.
The water features don’t end there, as stepping stones and an L-shaped pool also accent the two-story interior courtyard.
The 2,307 square foot house with three bedrooms and three bathrooms features Killingsworth’s recognizable rectangular design along with an L-shaped interior plan.
