THE RESTORATION & REHABILITATION OF THE

The house at 1401 Le Roy Avenue in Berkeley was designed by John Galen Howard, who placed fourth in the 1899 Phoebe Apperson Hearst International competition for the design of the UC Berkeley campus. Howard also served as the architect for notable campus buildings, including the Campanile, Doe Library, California Hall, Wheeler Hall, Hearst Mining Building, and others. The house was built in 1912 for Warren Gregory, who rented it back to Howard until 1924, when it was sold to the Hart family. In 1927, the Harts commissioned architect Julia Morgan to design a library and staircase for the wing along Rose Street. Although outside the Landmark purview, the Julia Morgan library interior is arguably the most significant—and intact—historic feature of the house."
