Edward H. Fickett<\/strong>, one of the most prolific architects of Southern California\u2019s midcentury modern movement, was responsible for some 40,000 postwar tract homes.<\/p>\n

But he also masterminded flashier projects such as celebrity residences, Spago restaurant, Edwards Air Force Base, and the famed Filaree House<\/a>\u00a0in Malibu, CA<\/a>. That abode just landed on the market for $12.5 million.<\/p>\n

Fickett, a fourth-generation Angeleno, died in 1999 at age 83. He served in the U.S. Navy Civil Engineer Corps before returning to Los Angeles<\/a>, where he designed thousands of affordable homes and numerous, iconic Southern California landmarks. Among them are Dodger Stadium and the passenger and cargo terminals at the Port of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Celebrities who have owned Fickett homes include Joan Crawford<\/strong>, Eva Gardner<\/strong>, Dick Clark<\/strong>, and David Spade<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Fickett became known as the \u201cKing of the Tennis Courts,\u201d because he was the first architect to design cantilever tennis courts that jut out over hillsides. It was a trademark of his knack for fitting beautiful buildings on difficult, sloping lots.<\/p>\n
