Robert R. Blacker House


Massive 1907 bungalow
1177 Hillcrest Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 91106
Considered by the Greene brothers as their best architectural achievement, this grand bungalow was built in 1907 to the tune of $100,000. In adjusted figures, that sum is even more impressive, especially since the owner of the house provided the lumber from his own company. In the 1980s, a Texan purchased the house and sold off a number of the furniture and other interior accoutrements designed by the Greene brothers, causing a scandal among Pasadena's preservationists. Although the home is a private residence, no tour of historic L.A. structures would be complete without catching at least a glimpse of it.
