The two Craftsman bungalows on at 1315 and 1319 5th St. are mirror images of each other. Built in 1920, the pair are among the last remaining mirror-image cottages in Coronado. The two were built by contractor John Edmund Alcaraz for Esther Sagar, a widow, for $2,600 each.
Built in 1898, the two-story Craftsman house at 1135 Loma Ave. remained essentially unchanged for 120 years. The latest homeowners have recently renovated the home, painstakingly restoring the exterior to its original splendor while updating and opening up the interior with respect to its rich past.
For 83 years, the Spanish Revival house at 520 J Ave. was owned by one family. Capt. Ivan Miller and his wife, Eleanor, had the home built in 1938 for $5,800 and it stayed in the Miller family until 2021, remaining unaltered except for repairs.
