Edla Muir began her architecture career in 1919, at the age of 13. She was one of the few women who entered the profession in the early part of the 20th century and maintained a successful practice independently after World War II. During Muir’s career she designed period revival-style houses in the 1930s and ‘40s and Ranch and Mid-Century Modern houses in the 1950s and ‘60s. Muir produced a domestic architecture that is noteworthy for expressing modern design with traditional building materials.
