Regarding Thomas Churchill Residence. The Churchill family were among the pioneers who settled the Willamette River Valley in Oregon. Thomas Churchill lived in Montana before moving to Los Angeles in 1907. The two-story craftsman style house was built for Churchill. The architect was Francis Pierpont Davis, who, with his brother Walter, designed many private homes in Los Angeles as well as Saint John’s Episcopal Church and the Villa D’Este Apartments in West Hollywood.
The Wilton Place residence is a frame construction with a brick porch extending across the front of the house.
Situated in the Wilton Historic District, containing 63 single-family residences dating from 1907-1925, the home has remained unchanged over the years. Built in 1907, it was rebuilt in 1909 after the original home was destroyed by fire along with two others on the street. The neighborhood was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
The home is private property, not open to the public.
