This Spanish Colonial Revival House was built in 1927 for Alfred A. and Erminie Piddington by builder John V. Philbrick. Henry L. A. Jekel was the architect. The house is located on the south side of the City’s original quarry, North Hill, and was a part of a subdivision known as “Fairmount Heights” created in 1895 by John G. North, son of the City’s founder, along with R.E. and C.E. Houghton. Mr. Piddington, known among his newspaper colleagues as “Pidd”, worked for 46 years for the Riverside Press and Enterprise becoming the paper’s editor in 1933.
