Fudger, Eva K., House
historic place
The Eva K. Fudger House, located at 211 South Muirfield Road in Los Angeles, is recognized as a Historic Place. This residence was constructed in 1926. It was designed by master architect Roland E. Coate Sr.. Eva K. Fudger, a widow, commissioned the house. Coate designed the house in the Monterey Revival style, also described as Spanish Colonial Revival. Its design included second-floor balconies and a floor plan with ample connection to the outdoors. The estate's grounds were designed by landscape architects Florence Yoch and Lucile Council, and their work received an AIA award. Eva Fudger lived in the house for two years before renting it to industrialist and aviator Howard Hughes, who resided there until 1942. The Eva K. Fudger House was designated a Historic-Cultural Monument on May 31, 2016. This property is significant as an important example of Roland E. Coate's work and represents the architectural styles prevalent in grand Southern California houses of its era.
