The largest of the original 18 diminutive houses built in 1926 by F.E. Carson and C.R. Hudson on Clark Street is a fine example of French \u201cChateaux\u201d Eclectic architecture.\u00a0\u00a0Bertha Noble, the current owner, was attracted to one of the homes located on Normandie Court when she found the larger home on Clark Street.\u00a0\u00a0Originally from Sri Lanka she had lived in England for several years and had always been fond of cottages.\u00a0\u00a0The petite home was \u201can answer to her prayers\u201d as she wanted to move into a smaller home that would bring back the feeling of the cottages in England.\u00a0\u00a0Written in the Daily Facts on August 2, 1926 \u201cNormandie Court gives you a satisfied feeling, a sense that all is well with the world, the placidity of existence guaranteed now and for evermore.\u201dAn inviting courtyard at the entrance of the house has newly laid multi-colored brick tile and is bordered to the east with the entrance door. The front door is recessed out with a gable roof over it.\u00a0\u00a0To the south in the courtyard is a set of three French doors.\u00a0\u00a0Each door has a large central glass pane surrounded by elongated divided lights. To the west is a single similar French door.\u00a0\u00a0A short four-foot stucco wall provides privacy to the courtyard with a half circle formed in the center. This open courtyard helps shape the house into a \u201cu\u201d shape.<\/p>\n

Its steeply pitched crossed-gabled roof with no overhang, patterned exterior stucco walls, and small-hipped dormers create \u201cThe storybook effect\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The front picture window with a slight arch creates an effect similar to the French doors.\u00a0\u00a0It is flanked with two casement windows with similar divided light glass.\u00a0\u00a0To the west and east you can observe casement windows with the French door design and double hung windows.\u00a0\u00a0The chimney is stuccoed.Normandie Village was built with individual single car garages, was fully landscaped and could be rented furnished or unfurnished.\u00a0\u00a0San Bernardino County Archives records indicate John Macdonald Ross as the first owner in 1926. Prior to 1943, when Doak and Beatrice Davis purchased the house, it was a rental.\u00a0\u00a0Past renters included Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Caldwell, a baker and Smart & Final Manager, and Mr. & Mrs. Paul Zylka, an interior decorator and owner of a drapery business.\u00a0\u00a0To date approximately half are owner occupied and half remain as rentals.<\/p>\n

Bertha Noble is proud of her home and the recent exterior four color paint scheme it proudly displays.\u00a0\u00a0She purchased the home in 1997.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Since moving in she has had craftspeople install new awnings, built a deck in the rear yard, tiled the courtyard, and landscaped the rear and front yards.\u00a0\u00a0Her goal of providing the feeling of the \u201cEnglish cottage garden\u201d has been achieved.\u00a0\u00a0The array of flowers creates a colorful palette.The Redlands Area Historical Society shares its enthusiasm for this charming home.<\/p>\n
