Roy Lanterman, who treated victims of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, had the foundation, floors, and walls of his house built with reinforced concrete, and architect A.L. Haley interpreted the aesthetics of Craftsman-style wood-built bungalows in the new material. Today, the house retains much of its original furniture and finishes, including a grand ballroom that occupies the entire second floor, and Dr. Lanterman's consulting rooms in the basement. It is now owned by the City of La Cañada Flintridge and maintained and administered by the non-profit Lanterman Historical Museum Foundation.
