Walter Webber.
Listed by the State Board of Architecture from 1920. 3 houses on record, 3 standing.
The State Board of Architectural Examiners' 1961 roster prints him as Webber, Walter, certificate B 544, among the architects licensed from 1901 to 1929 (p. 68). The California State Board of Architecture's reports of 1920, 1923 and 1926 list him with certificate B 544.
