Dr. Robert W. Winter—lauded as “Guru,” “Father,” and “Godfather” of Los Angeles architecture—was a renowned historian of fabricated California, claiming a rich bibliography of various guides and histories on California architecture, including Craftsman Style (2004), Batchelder Tilemaker (2000), and The California Bungalow (1980).
Dr. David Gebhard (1927–1996) was a preeminent architectural historian and preservationist. After a long career teaching at U.C. Santa Barbara, he is remembered through his many written contributions to both the field writ large and his preservation efforts in both Santa Barbara and Pasadena. Dr. Gebhard and Dr. Winter collaborated on four of the six editions of this guide.
Robert Inman is the author of A Guide to the Stairways of Los Angeles (2008) and Finding Los Angeles by Foot: Stairstreet, Bridge, Pathway and Lane (2013). A native son of Los Angeles, he is an award-winning urban walker and frequent collaborator with his mentor, Dr. Robert W. Winter.
