The architect, F. Scott Crowhurst, was the construction supervisor for most of the buildings erected by Walt Disney Productions. In 1932, he designed Walt Disney’s private home at 4053 Woking Way, which historians have described as “an enlarged Hansel and Gretel cottage”. Paul D. Newby commissioned Crowhurst to design this house after purchasing the vacant parcel in October 1933 from William Mead, one of the original developers of Los Feliz. While beautifully maintained, the house has kept its original quality and integrity. The Newby house may be eligible for listing in a local inventory of significant properties, due to its association with a skilled local designer/builder, its superb state of preservation, its unique plasterwork, and its contribution to the architectural and historical context of the Carnavon Way neighborhood.
