How is the Bragg house described in the novel, Alas, Babylon?

The Bragg house is a large ungainly and monolithic house that was once the showpiece of the River Road neighborhood. The grounds have poinsettias, bougainvillea, hibiscus and other plants. The house is well constructed of native cypress encased in pine clapboard. Randy keeps his law office and bachelor apartment in an upstairs wing. The house has a captain's walk that is the highest point in the county and a panoramic view of the area and river junction. Bragg house is a center of activity and a safe residence for the Braggs after The Day. Helen and her children move in, then Dan and finally Bill and Lib.
