It was built in 1910 for Henry Weaver and designed and built by the Milwaukee Building Company.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an outstanding example of the Craftsman bungalow, the quintessential early twentieth-century California home. It reflects skilled interpretation of Craftsman principles by the Milwaukee Building Company and is among the finest and best-preserved Craftsman houses in Santa Monica. Its integrity illustrates an important phase in the city's architectural development.","narrative":"Perched above Adelaide Drive on the rim of Santa Monica Canyon, this two-story Craftsman bungalow was built in 1910 for Henry Weaver, a retired hotel proprietor. The Milwaukee Building Company designed and built it for an estimated $13,250. Shingle walls, a battered cream brick waist wall and several low-pitched gables with deep eaves and rounded beam ends give it a strongly horizontal look with an Oriental influence. Inside, mahogany and quarter-sawn oak paneling, built-ins, a large brick fireplace and oak floors survive. The lot also holds a garage and a pool added in 1986. The house is recognized as an outstanding example of Craftsman design and workmanship. It marked a turning point for the Milwaukee Building Company, which later became prominent in Los Angeles. Located on the most prestigious street in the Palisades Tract, it remains one of the best-preserved Craftsman homes in Santa Monica and the western Los Angeles area.","period_of_significance":"1910","architect_builder":"Milwaukee Building Company","architectural_style":"Bungalow/Craftsman","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Currently used as a single dwelling.
