The H. L. Miller House, 1930 -J. Cyrill Bennett & Fitch H. Haskell, AIA. Located in the prestigious Huntington Library estate area of San Marino, this stately Tudor Revival mansion was designed by architects Bennett & Haskell, a highly recognized team dating back to the early 1900's with significant architectural works including the Pasadena Civic Auditorium and many notable private residences. Built in 1930, the brick veneer and plaster home features 6 bedrooms/6 bathrooms, including a primary suite with double vanities and privacy WC, 4 additional spacious bedrooms with 2 shared bathrooms upstairs, and an additional suite on entry level. A beautiful arched brick entry welcomes you through the mahogany front door to the reception hall, flanked by a formal living room with high beamed ceilings and an abundance of windows, a formal dining room with wainscoating, a powder room, and a wood paneled library with hidden bar. The bright and sunny kitchen opens to a breakfast room overlooking the back terrace and gardens and a spacious mudroom/laundry. High ceilings, original oak flooring, and fireplaces in public rooms allow for gracious entertaining. An addition to the house in 1964 was designed by Cyrill Bennett's son Robert E. Bennett, AIA, and includes a spacious family/game room and bathroom. With large front and rear yards, the circular brick driveway leads from the expansive front lawn through a lovely porte-cochere with curved brick walls leading down to the gates on each side. There is a large 2-car garage with the original chauffeur's quarters attached and plenty of room for extra parking. A fully gated rear yard with terrace, pool, spa, original brick fireplace/BBQ, and beautiful rose gardens throughout complete the backyard. Located one block from the Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens, 2200 Orlando Road, with its original architecture and impressive pedigree, is a worthy contribution to this exclusive architecturally rich neighborhood.
