Author Frederick "Fritz" Gutheim worked with Gill in 1932 on the Barona Reservation homes in his tenure as a government architectural supervisor, and presumably got him the job, possibly on the recommendation of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Interesting article, mostly not on Gill. one of the first to put Gill's work in historical perspective. Quotes: "The unique achievement of Irving J.

His remarkable series of California buildings not only illustrated the significance of regional conditioning elements for contemporary buildings; it also stamps him as one of the earliest precursors of modern architecture" and "...Irving Gill's buildings, demonstrating again that principle is the best precedent, rediscovered in the elementary form of the cube a new foothold for modern California architecture."

Paris Hilton lives on Kings Road now, which has nothing to do with anything important).

Summer. The American Benedictine Review. Article by Barry Byrne "From These Roots." Architect Byrne gives his thoughts on the progression of modern architecture and its personalities.
