Nestled in Montecito\u2019s historic Hedgerow neighborhood, one of architect Mary McLaughlin Craig\u2019s [1889-1964] finest homes, just hit the market. Craig, a transplant from South Dakota, was married to James Osborne Craig, the Scottish emigre architect who designed Santa Barbara\u2019s El Paseo\u2014an early model for the outdoor California shopping center\u2014and continued their architectural practice after his untimely death in 1922. Contemporaneous with pioneering female architects like the Moody Sisters and Lutah Maria Riggs, Craig become was one of the most respected architects on the American Riviera. Her projects included the historic ensemble of seven Spanish Revival homes on Plaza Rubio<\/a> directly across from the Mission Santa Barbara, homes that are deceptively simple essays in Spanish Revival, beautifully proportioned and very livable; this dwelling in the Hedgerows has been seamlessly expanded and renovated by the Santa Barbara firm Becker Henson Nitsko Architects<\/a>.
