Previously First Church of Christ Scientist
Of 701 Eleventh Street, Eureka: An Architectural Review (© 1987) says "Erected on the site of the original Church of Christ, Scientist in Eureka, this excellent Craftsman structure was designed by noted local architect Franklin Georgeson. Lacking the proportions of typical ecclesiastical construction, this human-scale building is a medium pitched gabled rectangle. Intersecting gables appear at either end, one of which serves as the entrance. Access is gained through a pergola consisting of heavy square beams that support an exposed beam roof. Diagonal buttresses, board-and-batten siding, horizontal groupings of windows, and a large, multipaned arched window are featured elements of this design. A substantial new wing was added at the north end of the property in the 1980s."
