A 2003 Nexus article explains that Hodgkins and Skubic "both played major roles in the development of women’s athletics and ability to participate in recreational activities on American campuses during the 1970s. Prior to their arrival, the words “female” and “athlete” were not mentioned in the same sentence."[4]

Taylor. The first house, built in 1957, was demolished in 2013, while the second house, built in 1967, is still standing. The houses, with a third one built near, were featured in the 1975 book, Santa Barbara Architecture, from Spanish Colonial to Modern (Capra Press, OCLC 636044851).[4]
