It was designed by Irving Gill, and the form notes a construction date of 1911 from HABS.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that Irving Gill is a recognized pioneer of modern architecture and that this house is a major example of his work. After the 1970 destruction of Gill's Dodge house in Los Angeles, it became his major work in the area. Though more modest than the Dodge house, it is described as equally important historically.","narrative":"Built in 1911 at 1301 South Chelten Way in South Pasadena, this house was designed by architect Irving Gill. It is a two-story cube, nearly square in plan, with one-story wings to the northeast and northwest that give it a T shape. Its creamy, plain walls rise to a parapet that hides a flat roof, with no cornices. Square-cut windows are deeply inset, and trellises on cylindrical columns extend the house toward the garden and across the driveway. Some changes have been made, including removal of a sleeping balcony, a solar heating system and a bedroom oratory, and enclosure of a porch space known as a green room. The house was listed because Gill is regarded as a pioneer of modern architecture. After his Dodge house in Los Angeles was demolished in 1970, this became his major surviving work in the area. It remains a private residence in excellent condition.","period_of_significance":"20th Century","architect_builder":"Irving Gill","architectural_style":"Simple cubic modern house in the style of Irving Gill","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as excellent, on its original site, and in use as a private residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:31.796456-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/72000235.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72000235/6a90af9519-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72000235/6a90af9519-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Einbierbitte","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Miltimore_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Einbierbitte</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Miltimore_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123859323","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miltimore_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q38250942"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/miltimore-house-72000235/"}
