Henry Hill (American architect)

[5] After earning his master's degree in architecture in 1938, he returned to the Bay Area, joining the office of John Ekin Dinwiddie in San Francisco and making partner in 1939.

[6] In 1943, Hill was invited to showcase his work in MoMa's Five California Houses exhibition along with Richard Neutra, William Wurster and John Ekin Dinwiddie, which was to demonstrate the "highly characteristic architecture, indigenous to Western climate and living habits".

[7] In 1947, Hill established his own practice in San Francisco, designing residences and commercial buildings for clients in the Bay Area and elsewhere in the US.

[1] According to SFGATE, Hill "helped define the woodsy Second Bay Tradition, which combined the rigors of the International Style with regional, vernacular influences".

In 1971, Hill transformed his vacation home into his main dwelling, engaging with the local community by joining the Carmel Planning Commission.
