It is also known as Casa Barranca.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of the Greene brothers' five \"ultimate bungalows\" and the most freely designed of them, built for a client with unlimited resources in a rural setting. It describes the structure as more honest and less mannered than the others, and notes an unusual entrance composition and an outstanding state of preservation. It qualifies under Criterion C for architecture.","narrative":"Perched on a small bluff above a seasonal stream in the foothills above Ojai, this 1909 house was designed by Charles and Henry Greene as a winter residence for Charles M. Pratt, a Standard Oil officer from Brooklyn. It is one of five \"ultimate bungalows\" by the Greene brothers. The two-story timber-frame building has wood-shingled walls, rock foundations and chimneys, exposed beams with copper-capped ends, and wide eaves with long projecting rafters. Inside, major rooms are finished in Port Orford cedar and redwood, with maple floors and lighting designed by the architects. The nomination stresses that the client's resources and the rural site gave the architects unusual freedom, and that an adjoining 38-acre parcel of native hillside was acquired to frame the view. The house retains nearly all its original light fixtures and undisturbed wood finishes, and it was listed for its architectural significance.","period_of_significance":"1909","architect_builder":"Greene, Charles and Henry","architectural_style":"Bungalow/Craftsman","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as being in pristine condition with a very high degree of integrity; the kitchen has been remodeled and the original furniture was removed after a 1985 auction. It remains in use as a single dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:27.936872-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/00001227.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00001227/f38c7e83ca-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00001227/f38c7e83ca-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Unknown authorUnknown author","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Front_elevation,_1908-1911_Charles_Millard_Pratt_House,_Nordhoff_(Ojai),_California_(NYDA.1987.003.00121).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Unknown authorUnknown author</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Front_elevation,_1908-1911_Charles_Millard_Pratt_House,_Nordhoff_(Ojai),_California_(NYDA.1987.003.00121).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123862358","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_M._Pratt_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14681730"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/ventura-county/pratt-charles-m-house-00001227/"}
