Questions
Who designed the houses in San Marino?
On this record, 121 houses in San Marino name their architect, and the architects named most are Harold J. Bissner (architect, 6), Benjamin S. Parker (architect, 4) and Wallace Neff (architect, 4). For 106 of them the documents name the builder too.
When were most of San Marino's houses on record built?
The decades with the most houses here are the 1920s (108) and the 1930s (13). The busiest years on record are 1927 and 1929, tied.
Which neighborhoods in San Marino have the most houses on record?
Oak Knoll Marino Residential Historic District (26), Mission Street Residential Historic District (18), Lombardy Manor Residential Historic District (8), Huntington Hill Residential Historic District (7), Shenandoah Road Residential Historic District (4) and Sherwood Road‐San Marino Avenue Residential Historic District (2). Those names come from the surveys and nominations that recorded the houses, so some overlap.
How do I find out who designed my house in San Marino?
Look for your street in the table on this page; 121 San Marino houses here name the architect, and every architect is in the register with the rest of the work credited to that name. For the year, the Los Angeles County Assessor is the first place to check; its year built is often there, though it can be approximate or missing. Who designed my house? walks through the records in order.
If your house is not here, ask me. I'm Greg Anderson of Arroyo Casa. For some of San Marino's 1927 houses the building notice of the day names the architect, and for some the builder beside the architect.

About this record
How this record is built.
This record is compiled by the Arroyo Casa Archive of Records from public documents: city and county historic resources surveys and inventories, National Register nominations, landmark designation reports and council records, planning documents and preservation groups' publications, plus the building notices of 1917 to 1930, printed as houses were permitted, contracted or announced. Where a house was matched to the Los Angeles County Assessor's record at the same address in the same city, the page says whether the county confirms it standing. A house is shown only when one of those documents names its architect, and the builder and the first family are shown beside the architect where a document names them. Each house carries the kind of document behind it, and a credit the document itself calls likely, probable, possible or attributed is marked attributed. The methodology and every source document are on one page.
