The house was built in 1910 for the family of Thomas McCall. The home was originally located on Second Street in Santa Monica and was designed by architect, Frank Kegley. As a rare West Coast example of Shingle Clad Colonial Revival Architecture, the McCall House is listed in many architectural guide books.

Thomas McCall was quite a colorful personality. Born in Scotland in 1855, he emigrated to Texas in the 1880s where he amassed a fortune in oil and cattle interests. He and his wife, Helen moved to Santa Monica in 1909 with their six daughters. Sadly, Helen died before the house was completed but Thomas moved in with the girls.

Thomas McCall died in 1941 yet today is still remembered by his family and the numerous civic organizations he established. Photographs of the McCalls have been lovingly placed throughout the house by his descendants. His collection of letters to his youngest daughter is displayed in the library.

After daughter Mary's death in 1962, the house was purchased and moved to its present location and a third story was added. But the construction was not completed and the McCall house stood here abandoned for twelve years, ravaged by weather and vagrants. Miraculously, it has survived. We, with a group of our friends, bought the house in 1988, and now invite you to turn back the calendar and join in sharing the Thomas McCall legacy.
