This home was completed in 1939 and commands the .34 acre parcel on the southeast corner of E. Huntington and Fifth Street. The design is attributed to San Francisco architect, Louis Franceschi, and the original property owner, J.B. Cella, is listed as the contractor on the building permit(s). Cella emigrated from Piacenza, Italy, in 1898 and was influential in the American wine industry. Cella owned the Roma Wine Company in Fresno (and other wineries as well) and was the director and vice president of Schenly Distillers Corporation.
