"The Huntington Japanese Garden and House at the Huntington Library attained significance as a historic resource with a unique story illustrating the adaptation, influence and exquisite beauty of Japanese culture in California. The House retains its original form, as well as its relationship to the surrounding garden context. This project revealed a cross-cultural masterwork, a hybrid of Japanese design and regional construction techniques of the early 20th century. The garden, one of the oldest Japanese-style gardens open to the public in North America, has been an anchor and a resource for the local community for more than 100 years."
