Regarding Neutra Studio and Residences. Built in 1932, the house was called the VDL House because it was built with a loan from Neutra's patron, Cees Van Der Leeuw. Neutra ran his architecture practice out of a studio in the house, which was destroyed by fire in 1963. Neutra's son Dion rebuilt the house with his father's oversight, and a number of changes were made in the design. In 1980, Neutra's widow donated the house to Cal Poly Pomona.
