Lanterman House, Historic house museum in La Cañada Flintridge, United States.

The Lanterman House is a two-story reinforced-concrete bungalow with a basement, built in 1915 by A. L. Haley for Dr. Roy Lanterman. Haley translated Craftsman-style wood bungalow forms into concrete, and the house keeps original furniture and finishes, including a second-floor ballroom and basement consulting rooms.

Dr. Roy Lanterman commissioned the house in 1915; it was built by A. L. Haley, a prominent builder of residences and commercial buildings in the Los Angeles area, not an architect. Lanterman had treated victims of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, and he required reinforced concrete for the foundation, floors and walls. Haley rendered Craftsman bungalow forms in that material. The house opened as a museum in 1993 and joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.

The house keeps much of its original furniture and finishes. A ballroom occupies the entire second floor, and Dr. Lanterman's consulting rooms are in the basement, showing how the residence combined family living with a doctor's practice.

The house is open for tours during specific days and times, so planning ahead is necessary for your visit. It is best to contact the site in advance to confirm when it is available and whether reservations are recommended.

A. L. Haley, born in 1865, built the house in 1915 as a builder of Los Angeles residences and commercial buildings, not as an architect. Dr. Lanterman's requirement of reinforced concrete for foundation, floors and walls led Haley to reproduce Craftsman bungalow forms in that material.
