Declared November 8, 1994
This home was designed by noted architect
and student of Frank Lloyd Wright, Harwell Hamilton Harris in 1942. Its design
was Harris' concept of the style as taught to him by Wright, though it also
exhibits influences by both R.M. Schindler and Richard Neutra. Harris was
largely responsible for bringing back the use of redwood construction in
California. This home was early in Harris' career and served as a model for many
designs by both Harris and subsequent architects. A model of this house
was displayed at an architectural exhibit in Paris in the late 1940's.
