HAWARDEN HILLS- “Old” Hawarden Drive- An enduring piece of Riverside’s Citrus Heritage, the Stewart Malloch House built in 1937 of 12”-16” thick adobe block rests discretely on a bench of the hill surrounded by mature landscaping and Avocado Groves. Malloch, the grandson of William Irving and Great Nephew of Matthew Gage channeled the Architecture of early Riverside in designing this epic sprawling ranch style home. Embracing the efforts of the period’s Architect’s desire to create a regionally contemporary style, exceptional quality was built into this home with materials such as pegged oak hardwood floors, smooth plastered walls and ceilings, Steel divided light casement windows and Mahogany doors and trims molding throughout! Complete interior by renowned and published designer Carleton Varney adheres to the genuine theme of the home with a timeless refined western effect.
