The works and personal histories of Cliff May, Florence Palmer and Thomas Shepherd names that could belong on the Mount Rushmore of La Jolla architecture were spotlighted during a La Jolla Historical Society webinar March 31.
Speakers talked about the architects, their backgrounds and influences and significance to La Jolla’s history, along with local examples of their work, during the first of a two-part series. The second webinar will be Wednesday, April 14.
The first lecture focused on homes built before World War II, ranging from Spanish Eclectic to spec houses.
Thomas Shepherd
Speaking as the owner of a Shepherd-designed, historically designated house, La Jolla Landmarks Committee Chairwoman Seonaid McArthur talked about his work, not on her house but the Rev. Nassau and Estelle Stephens House on Amalfi Street.
