The house was designed by Arthur S. Heineman (1878-1972) as a speculative residence for contractor and owner Wilbur F. Miner. Arthur Heineman did not have formal architectural training. He entered the real estate development field, but by 1911 had become a respected and in-demand designer of homes. Legend has it that Los Angeles architects encouraged him to become licensed, and after only a few exam questions he was granted an architect’s certificate. Heineman designed many buildings in Los Angeles including the Fuller House in Hollywood, and the J.R. Dennison House in West Adams, LAHCM #818. He is most well-known for developing the concept of the motor hotel, or Mo-Tel, which he later trademarked.
The property was designed in the Craftsman style with Japanese influences. The high quality of design is typical of the Heineman brothers who were often compared to the Greenes, but built with lower budgets.
The home is private property, not open to the public.
