About architect Roland E. Coate Sr.

As a newcomer to California in 1919, Coate began a study of the state’s history and its earliest surviving buildings, the Spanish missions (or what was left of them), and adobe houses from the Spanish and Mexican periods. Later, his familiarity with these early-California styles, his work on large residential projects, and his talent and education, provided him with experience and expertise that made him one of the most renowned masters of the Mediterranean style. His achievements include homes and buildings around Southern California that are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
