- Photo(s): 22 | Data Page(s): 14 | Photo Caption Page(s): 2 Subjects: houses, domestic life, craftsman architectural elements Locations: riverside, california, riverside county Notes: Significance: The Benjamin Rockhold House is an important example of a turn-of-the-century residence in the City of Riverside. The house is located within an area known as the "Mile Square," which was the original townsite of Riverside. Its neighborhood, located at the south end of the Mile Square, contained a concentration of houses built by affluent merchants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Rockhold House is one of very few of these houses which remain, since others have been demolished for the commercial development of the area. The house is architecturally distinguished as an outstanding local example of the Transitional Craftsman architectural style. The multi-gabled exterior is imposing on its corner site, and the interior contains a large amount of woodwork, including built-in benches, wainscoting, and exposed, false ceiling beams. The integrity of the house is good.
