Designed by architects
Myron Hunt and Elmer Grey (no relation to the author), the 1907 Mediterranean style house is acclaimed as the first fireproof home in Altadena, built entirely of reinforced concrete as prescribed by Woodward's wife, Edith Norton Woodward. Edith Woodward was a survivor of theIroquois Theater Fire of 1903. [Robert H. Peterson, "Altadena's Golden Years", Alhambra, California: Sinclair Printing and Litho, Inc., 1976, pp. 43-44.]The Greys moved to Southern California in 1918. In 1920, spurred by the memory of a visit to Altadena during their honeymoon, they bought the Woodward home.
After the Greys bought the property, they built an addition on the roof for a studio, library and museum. In 1928, an east wing was added to the house. After the Greys' death, their sons owned the property. The house was sold by their son, Romer, in 1970. [Peterson, pp. 43-44.]
