Heller Estate - South Lake Tahoe, CA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"Built in 1924, the house reflects two earlier 20th century architectural traditions. The exterior style of the structure combines shingle style and colonial revival traditions with rustic elements.

In its choice of style, it closely reflects the style of the main house of the adjacent Pope Estate, constructed almost 30 years prior. As such it employed a style whose vogue had largely passed. The style, however, was established and safe. The interior reflects utilized Nordic themes, more in keeping with the period revival modes of the 1920's.

The construction of the Twin Cabins in 1923 preceeded Valhalla, both chronologically and as a stylistic model. The style of the cabins may in turn have borrowed the style of the earlier boathouse, built by Tevis, whose roof'was gambrelTed like the cabins. The choice of style appears locally inspired."
