The George R. Kress House is a Tudor Revival-style home in a canyons area of Los Angeles, California that was built in 1931.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
Located in Benedict Canyon in a private gated community, it is a 98 feet (30 m) by 27 feet (8.2 m) house ranging from one-story tall on its south end to three stories on the north. It faces east. It has a terra cotta tile roof.[2]
It is significant both for its association with a builder and practical engineer who moved buildings, George R. Kress, and for its architecture. [2]
Kress moved hundreds of houses in Pittsburgh and in Los Angeles. In Los Angeles the buildings he moved included mansions and some 13-story buildings.[3]
