Henry Weaver House


  • Address: 142 Adelaide Dr
  • Travel Genus: Sight
  • Sight Category: Historic District

The Henry Weaver House is significant for its architectural quality and character as an outstanding example of the quintessential early twentieth century California home, the Craftsman bungalow. Its design and construction reveal a reverence for the principles of the Craftsman movement and a skill at their interpretation in built form. Remarkable workmanship attests to the talent of the Milwaukee Building Company which designed and built the house, a prominent Los Angeles firm already appreciated for its imaginative designs of such Los Angeles landmarks as Grauman's Egyptian and Chinese theatres. The Weaver House is a revelation of their abilities in a different architectural idiom, at an early stage of the firm's development. Moreover, the Weaver House ranks among the best of its type in Santa Monica, and illustrates through its integrity an important phase in the architectural evolution of the city. - NRHP 27 December 1989.
