Superb 1.5-story end-gable wood-shingled Craftsman Bungalow, one of the finest of its genre in city; sophisticated elements, some of which are seen nowhere else in city, include stuccoed porch pillars that arch to form wide spandrels, robust lattice-like porch elements, and cantilevered rectangular bay on east that rests on rusticated joists; elegant curved eave brackets; apparently built as speculation by J. E. Commander, who sold in 1917 to C. R. Pugh, occupation unknown; Pugh lost house during Depression; acquired in 1932 by assistant postmaster John Lamb Needham (1892-1970); in family until 1980.
