Renowned Southern California architect Rudolf M. Schindler designed this home as the De Keyser Duplex in 1936.

The house is owned by Margaret Crawford, an architectural historian who taught at UCLA and the Southern California Institute of Architecture before her current post as a professor of architecture at the Harvard Design School in Boston; and her husband, architect Marco Cenzatti, who is a professor of urban planning at the Harvard Design School.
