Visible is the west-facing façade of the brick building's loggia and north façade of the sally port archway across Via Chica with apartment buildings visible in the background. Original occupants of the building included real estate broker I.

It also served as police headquarters under Chief William Woosley. Casa del Portal was the site of the area's first nursery school, and during World War II served as a Red Cross Center. | |
