The property meets the criteria for LAHCM designation because it embodies the "distinguishing characteristics of an architectural-type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction," as an example of Mid-Century Modern architecture. It is also associated with the "notable work of a master builder, designer, or architect," as a work by master architect Edward H. Fickett.
Built by L.N. Evans, it is the second of two houses designed by Ed Fickett for George and Miriam Jacobson, and the first contemporary house to be awarded historic-cultural status by the city. Featured in Alan Hess's book Forgotten Modern: California Houses 1940-1970, the 2,926-square-foot post and beam home has three bedrooms, two and a half baths, a two-story atrium, an office, hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, clerestory windows, skylights, multiple decks and terraces, two brick fireplaces, separate guest quarters, and a swimming pool.
