Pasadena designer John Constantine Hillman designed this residence for James Scripps Booth (1888-1954), eldest son of the Detroit News owner, George Gough Booth. Booth's family had a strong interest in the arts, funding the Detroit Institute of the Arts (DIA) and the Cranbrook Academy of Art (as well as other educational enterprises in Bloomfield Hills, MI). James Booth became an artist (attending the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, France, in 1911) as well as an automobile designer. He exhibited paintings and pastels both in Detroit and Pasadena, CA.
