Upton Sinclair House, National Historic Landmark residence in Monrovia, California.
The Neo-Mediterranean house at 464 North Myrtle Avenue features concrete moldings, Batchelder tiles, and an iron-decorated entrance archway with a balcony.
From 1942 to 1966, author Upton Sinclair resided in this 1923 house, where he wrote numerous literary works and stored manuscripts in a concrete vault.
The residence connects to American literature through Sinclair's Pulitzer Prize victory in 1943 and his influential writings about social conditions.
The property requires advance permission for visits as it remains a private residence, with a commemorative marker visible near the front entrance.
The structure survived the 1991 Sierra Madre earthquake and subsequent restoration efforts preserved its architectural elements and historical significance.
