Drawings for the Edward A. Adams Residence, Los Angeles, CA, (1951), are located in Box 68 Folder 3 in the Harwell Hamilton Harris (1903-1990) Papers, University of Texas Libraries, Alexander Architectural Archive, Austin, TX. Adams had the nickname "Tink."

Harwell H. Harris prepared residential designs for Adams in 1951. He commissioned Los Angeles architects John Rex and Douglas Honnold to design a garage, grill, and masonry deck in 1955. According to Silver Lake realtors, Andy Jelmert and Michael Locke: "In 1966 A. Albert Cooling, who was also an instructor at the [Art Center] school, completely re-invented the house into the style we see today. Cooling died before the final phase of the house was conceived; Adams turned to Taliesen Fellow James DeLong to complete the project.
