Why it's listed
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.

What listing means for this property
This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
