Not to mention (but I will) that the Fitzgerald house was design by Samuel and Joseph Cather Newsom (or just Joseph, depending on the source), who also did Bunker Hill's Bradbury house and the Sessions house in Angelino Heights, among many other buildings.
The property to the east of the house wasn't always part of its lot--on it once stood a house belonging to members of the Joughin family, who owned large acreage in the area. The Fitzgerald house sat on a part of the Joughin tract. The corner steps and stone wall belonged to the original corner house; you'll notice that it doesn't extend past the original east property line of the Fitzgerald house.
